The second big prize opening 22 is opened by opening the second big prize opening door 21 as a special opening / closing means during the big hit game in the variable game, and the winning of the game ball is allowed. For this reason, during the big hit game, the player can have an opportunity to win a prize ball.

  The jackpot game is won based on the winning lottery result, and the jackpot symbol is confirmed and stopped in the first variation game of the first special symbol display device 12a or the second variation game of the second special symbol display device 12b. To start after the game ends. In addition, this big hit game is won after the small hit game ends when the winning ball is won based on the winning lottery and the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 passes through the special passing area.

  When the big hit game is started, the round game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of rounds (upper number of rounds) as an upper limit. One round game is performed until the second grand prize opening 22 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once), and a predetermined number ( It is released until a predetermined number of winning balls) is won or until a specified time (round game time) elapses. When the specified number of round games are finished, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is finished.

  In addition, after the big hit game is over, a variation shortened state (hereinafter referred to as “variable state”) may be given. In this variable state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened compared to the non-variable state in which the variable state is not given. In particular, whether or not to open / close the blade 16 is determined. The fluctuation time of the usual game for deriving the result is shortened as compared with the non-variable state. In the variable state, when the normal winning lottery is won, the open / close blade 16 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the non-variable state. In the variable state, the variation time of the variation game in which the display result is confirmed and stopped may be shortened. In the present embodiment, when the normal winning lottery is won in the non-variable short state, the open / close blade 16 is opened in a short open mode, whereas when the normal winning lottery is won in the variable short state, the open / close blade 16 is opened / closed. The blade 16 opens in a long open mode. In other words, the open / close blade 16 is set to operate in an advantageous manner for the player in the variable state, in which the total opening time corresponding to one normal hit is longer than in the non-variable state. For this reason, the shortage state is a state in which the open / close blade 16 is easily moved to the open state and the entry rate is improved, and the variation game tends to be easily executed.

  Also, in the short / short state, depending on the type of hit (small hit or big hit), after the end of the big hit game, a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, 20 times, 40 times or 60 times) is given as an upper limit. May be. Note that the opening / closing blade 16 is opened when a normal hit is reached, but the opening / closing blade 16 is closed when the upper limit number of game balls are won even before the closing.

  Further, in front of the pachinko gaming machine, a launching handle as launching operation means (not shown) capable of launching for launching a game ball is provided. When the launch handle is fired, a launch motor (not shown) is driven, and a game ball is launched toward the game area with a predetermined strength.

As decorations, eight types of numbers [1] to [8] and special symbols including triangles, stars, and double circles are adopted, and [111] [222] [ 333] [444] [555] [666] [777] [888]. Further, 16384/65536 is defined as the winning probability per winning, and 65535/65536 is defined as the winning probability per ordinary winning. In addition, the number of winning balls of the game balls is three for the first start winning opening 14 and the second starting winning opening 15, and 15 for the first big winning opening 24 and the second large winning opening 22. Each is defined. In addition, as a short opening mode of the opening / closing blade 16, a mode is defined in which the opening / closing blade 16 is opened once and the open state is maintained until 40 ms elapses after opening. In addition, as a long open mode of the opening / closing blade 16, a mode is defined in which the opening / closing blade 16 is opened three times and the open state is maintained until 1600 ms elapses after opening. Further, “10 balls” is defined as the upper limit number of winnings, which is a closing condition of the opening and closing blades 16. In each round game, “1” is set as the number of times the first grand prize opening 24 or the second grand prize opening 22 is opened, and “8 balls” is set as the maximum number of prizes. Each of the display devices 12a and 12b has 52 types of special symbols, and is classified into one type of big hit symbol, 50 types of small hit symbol, and one type of off-line symbol.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the winning game specified in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described below.
In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a win is won by winning lottery, one hit is determined from one type of big hit and five types of small hits, and the hit game corresponding to the determined hit is determined. It is to be granted. In this embodiment, the 51 types of special symbols that are confirmed and displayed on the display devices 12a and 12b are classified according to the type of the special symbol. In the figure, the symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a is indicated as "Special Fig. 1", and the symbol that is determined and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b is indicated as "Special Fig. 2". .

  Of the winning symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a, the symbol ZA is assigned one type of big hit symbol and the symbol ZB is assigned 50 types of small hit symbols. On the other hand, among the winning symbols displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b, the symbol Za has one type of winning symbol, the symbol Zc has 13 types of small winning symbols, and the symbol Zd has 15 symbols. There are eight types of small hits symbols assigned to the symbols Ze, eight types of small hit symbols assigned to the symbols Ze, and 14 types of small hit symbols assigned to the symbols Zf. In this way, the winning type can be specified from the types of special figures displayed on the display devices 12a and 12b in a fixed stop manner.

  In the present embodiment, the small hit when the small hit symbol classified as symbols Zc to Zf is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b as a fixed stop is indicated as “specific small hit” and is classified as symbol ZB. The small hit when the small hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a as a fixed stop is indicated as “non-specific small hit”. Further, the small hit symbol when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol Zc is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b as a fixed stop is indicated as "first specific small hit", and the small hit symbol classified as the symbol Zd is The small hit when the fixed stop display is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b is indicated as "second specific small hit". Further, the small hit symbol when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol Ze is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b is confirmed and stopped is indicated as “third specific small hit”, and the small hit symbol classified as the symbol Zf is The small hit when the fixed stop display is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b is shown as “fourth specific small hit”.

  When a jackpot symbol classified as symbol ZA is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a as a fixed stop display, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol Za is displayed as a fixed stop on the second special symbol display device 12b, A game is born. In the big hit game in this case, a round game that opens the second big winning opening 22 is defined, and the prescribed number of round games is set to “16”.

  Further, when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol ZB is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the small hit symbol classified as the symbols Zc to Zf is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. When displayed, a small hit game is generated, and the first big prize opening 24 is opened for a predetermined time in the small hit game. Then, when the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 passes through the special passing area, the big hit game is generated after the end of the small hit game. In the big hit game in this case, a round game for opening the second big prize opening 22 is defined, and the prescribed number of round games is set to “15”. For this reason, it can be said that the specified number of rounds of the round game is substantially set to “16” in the hit game in which the small hit game is one round and the small hit game and the big hit game are continuous.

  “25 (seconds)” for each jackpot game as the maximum time of each round game, “1” as the number of opening of the second big prize opening 22 in each round game “ "8 balls" is set for each. Also, in each jackpot game, “10 (seconds)” as the opening time, “2 (seconds)” as the interval time between each round (interval between rounds), “15 (seconds)” as the ending time, Is set.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a small win is won based on the result of the winning lottery, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in an open manner corresponding to the type of the won small win.
Specifically, when a non-specific small win is won, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in a short open manner in the small hit game. This short release mode is an open mode in which game balls are less likely to win the first big prize opening 24 and almost no game balls win the first big prize slot 24 than the long open mode.

  In addition, when winning a specific small hit, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in a long open manner in the small hit game. This long open mode is an open mode in which a game ball is more likely to win a prize at the first big winning opening 24 than the short open mode. In the figure, the opening mode of the second big prize winning opening 22 when winning the jackpot is represented by “−” because there is only one type of opening mode.

  In this way, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in an open mode corresponding to the type of the small hit symbol displayed on the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b. In particular, when a small win is won in the first variation game, the first big winning opening 24 is in an open state in a short opening state, so that almost no game balls are won in the first big winning opening 24. On the other hand, when the small win is won in the second variation game, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in the long open state, and the game ball wins the first big winning opening 24.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the winning ball is won based on the result of the winning lottery, and the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 passes the special passing area, the big winning game is played after the end of the small winning game. However, the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is determined according to the special figure determined as the small hit symbol. Further, in the present embodiment, when the winning ball is won based on the result of the winning lottery, and the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 does not pass through the special passing area, The big hit game is not given, and the game state after the small hit game is not changed.

  Specifically, when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol ZA is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a as a fixed stop display, or a jackpot symbol classified as symbol Za is displayed as a fixed stop on the second special symbol display device 12b. The jackpot game that is given at the time of the game is given a variable state with an upper limit of the variable game of “60 times” after the jackpot game ends. In addition, the big hit game given when the game ball passes through the special passing area when the first special small hit is won is also changed to the upper limit of the variable game of “60 times” after the big hit game ends. A short state is given. In addition, the big hit game given when the game ball passes through the special passing area when the second specific small hit is won is also changed to the upper limit of the “40 times” variable game after the big hit game ends. A short state is given. In addition, the big hit game given when the game ball passes through the special passing area when the third specific small hit is won is changed up to the upper limit of the “20 times” variable game after the big hit game ends. A short state is given. On the other hand, when winning the non-specific small hit and the fourth specific small hit, the big hit game given when the game ball has passed through the special passing area is changed after the big hit game ends. It is not granted.

  For this reason, when winning a big hit, or when winning the first to third specific small wins, the big hit game given when the game ball has passed through the special passing area, The variable state is given with the number of times corresponding to the hit type as the upper limit. On the other hand, when winning the non-specific small hit or the fourth specific small hit, the big hit game given when the game ball has passed through the special passing area is changed after the big hit game ends. It is not granted.

  In the non-variable short state, the opening / closing blade 16 is in an open state in a short open state, so that it is difficult for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 15, and the first start winning opening 14 wins the game ball. The game is progressed so as to mainly execute the one variation game. In this case, of the small wins, an unspecified small hit will be won, and the first big prize mouth blade 23 will be in an open state in a short open mode, and it will be difficult for the game balls to win the first big prize mouth 24, and the big hit game will be It is difficult to occur and is controlled. Therefore, in the non-variable state, although winning is won with the probability of 16384/65536, the big hit symbol is determined only with the probability of 1/51, so the big hit is made with the probability of about 1/204.

  On the other hand, in the variable speed state, the opening and closing blades 16 are in an open state in a long open state, so that the game ball is easy to win in the second start winning port 15, and the game ball is won in the second start winning port 15, The game is progressed so as to mainly execute the second variable game. In this case, although winning is won with a probability of 16384/65536, the jackpot symbol is determined only with a probability of 1/51 as in the non-variable short state. However, unlike the non-variable short state, the first big prize mouth blade 23 is in the open state in the long open mode when winning the small hit, so the win is actually won with a probability of about 1/4, The 1st prize winning opening blade 23 is opened. Moreover, since the probability that the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 will pass through the special passing area is about 1/5, it will be a big hit with a probability of about 1/20.

  In addition, the upper limit number of times that the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game given when the game ball passes through the special passing area in the variable state is a probability of 13/50. “60 times” is determined with a probability of 15/50, “40 times”, and “20 times” with a probability of 8/50, and the variable state is not given with a probability of 14/50. For this reason, the continuation rate of the variable state is about 72%. In the present embodiment, when the big hit is a big hit, if the upper limit number of times of the shortage is “20”, the probability of consecutive wins in the big hit (rendition rate) is about 64%, When the upper limit number of times is “40 times”, the extended game rate is about 87%, and when the upper limit number of times of change is “60”, the extended time rate is about 95%.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine is disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment. The main control board 30 as main control means executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is disposed on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 as the effect control means is based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the display mode of the effect display device 11 (display images such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.) ) To control.

  The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a for executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b for storing a main control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control capable of writing and reading necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected to various switches SW1 to SW6 so that detection signals output by detecting the game balls can be input. The main control CPU 30a includes a first special symbol display device 12a, a second special symbol display device 12b, a first special symbol hold display device 13a, a second special symbol hold display device 13b, and a normal symbol display device 20. It is connected. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL1, a first big prize opening solenoid SOL2, and a second big prize opening solenoid SOL3. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that performs display control of each of the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b as display means functions as display control means.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a executes a random number update process (random number generation process) for updating various random number values such as a hit determination random number and a special figure distribution random number value at predetermined intervals. The random number for winning determination is a random number used in the winning lottery (winning determination). The special figure distribution random number is a random number used in determining a special figure as a winning symbol. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a normal hit determination random number used for determining whether or not the normal game is a normal win.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program and various determination values (such as a hit determination value). The winning determination value is a determination value used in the winning lottery, and is determined from numerical values that the winning determination random number can take.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns related to the variation game. These fluctuation patterns are patterns that serve as a base for the production (game production) from the start of the variation game to the end of the variation game, and the variation content (production content) and variation time (production) of the variation game. Time) can be specified (specified). In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of variation patterns can be classified into variation patterns for hit variation, variation patterns for outlier reach variation, and variation patterns for outlier variation. The winning variation is a variation performed when it is determined that a winning game is awarded, and the effect display device 11 is developed so that the winning game is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. Production is performed. The outlier reach variation is a variation performed when it is determined that no winning game is given, and the effect display device 11 develops the reachable game through the reach effect so that the fluctuating game is finally displayed in a fixed stop manner. Production is performed. The deviation variation is a variation performed when it is determined that the winning game is not given, and the effect display device 11 develops the variation game so that the variation game is finally displayed in a fixed stop state without performing the reach effect. Production is performed. The variation pattern is defined so that the variation pattern in the first variation game and the variation pattern in the second variation game can be specified.

  In addition, the main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of normal map variation patterns related to the normal game. These normal map variation patterns are patterns that serve as a base for the production (game production) from the start of the general game to the end of the general game, and the fluctuation content (production content) of the general game. In addition, it is possible to specify (designate) the variation time (effect time). In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of ordinary figure fluctuation patterns can be classified into ordinary figure fluctuation patterns for normal hits and ordinary figure fluctuation patterns for outlier fluctuations. The normal hit fluctuation is a fluctuation performed when the normal hit is won, and the outlier fluctuation is a fluctuation performed when the normal hit is not won.

  The effect control board 31 includes an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores an effect control program of the effect control CPU 31a, and effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). Various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the display control program.

  Next, various processes such as a normal symbol input process, a normal symbol start process, a special symbol input process, and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described below. . In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes every predetermined control cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes various processes described below is a hit determination means, a big hit determination means, a small hit determination means, a hit type determination means, a variation content determination means, a game state control means, a normal state It functions as a hit determination means, an opening / closing control means, and a special opening / closing control means.

First, the normal symbol input process related to the ordinary game will be described below.
In the normal symbol input process, when the main control CPU 30a determines that the game ball has passed through the operation gate 19, the number of the common figure reserved storage stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit “4”. It is determined whether or not. If the determination result is affirmative (the number of reserved general memory <4), the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the number of general reserved memory, and rewrites the number of general reserved memory. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires the values of the normal hit determination random numbers and the normal map distribution random numbers from the main control RAM 30c, and these values are associated with the general figure hold memory number. And the normal symbol input process is terminated.

Next, the normal symbol start process related to the ordinary game will be described below.
The CPU 30a for main control subtracts "1" from the number of stored general map hold when the read number of stored general map is larger than "0" when the normal map is not being displayed in a variable display or a normal hit game. The value of the random number for determining the normal hit stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the number of stored customary maps is obtained. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination. That is, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal game is a normal hit due to the establishment of the normal start condition such that the game ball passes through the operation gate 19 and the normal map storage number is less than “4”. It will be determined.

When the result of the normal hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets a normal hit flag indicating that the game is a normal game in which the normal hit is made in the main control RAM 30c.
Then, when determining the normal hit, the main control CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the usual game ends. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 so as to open the opening / closing blade 16 in an opening mode that differs depending on whether or not the variable state is given when the normal game is started. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 so as to open the opening / closing blade 16 in a short open mode when the variable speed state is not given when the normal game is started. (In this embodiment, 40 ms is opened). On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 so that the open / close blade 16 is opened in the long open mode when the variable speed state is given when the normal game is started. (In this embodiment, 1600 ms is opened three times). As described above, when the variable speed state is not given, the second start winning opening 15 is opened, but the opening and closing blades 16 are opened for a very short time. 15 game balls rarely win. On the other hand, when the variable state is given, the time when the second start winning opening 15 is opened and the opening / closing blade 16 is opened is the time that the game ball can win the second start winning opening 15. Since it is set, it is easy for a game ball to win the second start winning opening 15.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern of the usual game according to whether or not the variable state is given. As a result, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the fluctuation time of the usual game is shortened in the variable state, compared with the non-variable state, and the total open time corresponding to one normal hit is released longer. Control.

Next, the special symbol input process will be described below.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start winning opening 14 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start opening switch SW2. When the determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number “4”. When the first reserved memory number is less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the first reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30a that has updated the first reserved memory number (added “1”) controls the display content of the first special symbol hold display device 13a so as to display the updated first updated memory number (after addition). To do. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains various random number values (such as the hit determination random number value in the present embodiment) from the main control RAM 30c, and acquires the values from the main control corresponding to the first reserved memory number. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, if the determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a has won a game ball at the second start winning opening 15 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start opening switch SW3. Determine whether or not. When this determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number “4”. When the second reserved memory number is not less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the second reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30a that has updated the second reserved memory number ("1" added) controls the display content of the second special symbol hold display device 13b so as to display the updated second updated memory number (after addition). To do. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires various random number values (in this embodiment, such as a hit determination random number value) from the main control RAM 30c, and acquires the value from the main control corresponding to the second reserved memory number. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described below.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines an execution condition indicating whether or not a variable game is being executed or a winning game is being executed. When this determination result is affirmative (during a variable game or a winning game), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when this determination result is negative (not in a variable game and not in a winning game), the main control CPU 30a has the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c “0”. The second hold determination process for determining whether or not the value is larger than the threshold value is executed. When the second reserved memory number is “1” or more, the second reserved symbol number is subtracted by “1”, and the second special symbol hold display device 13b is displayed so as to display the updated (after subtraction) second reserved memory number. Controls the display content of. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a second hit determination process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c is larger than “0”. The first hold determination process is executed. When the first reserved memory number is “1” or more, the first special symbol hold display device 13a displays the first reserved memory number after the update (after subtraction) by subtracting “1” from the first reserved memory number. Controls the display content of. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hit determination process.

  As described above, when both the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are “1” or more, the main control CPU 30a performs the second variation game by giving priority to the second hit determination process. It will be executed preferentially.

  In the first hit determination process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the hit determination random number associated with the first reserved storage number with the hit determination value, and determines whether or not both values match.

  When the determination result of the hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hit-time fluctuation process for causing the winning fluctuation game to be executed. In the first hit time variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value associated with the first reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the special figure distribution random number value, A winning symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) is determined as a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a. In particular, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines the special figure based on the value of the special figure distribution random number, so that the big hit, the small hit, the type of the small hit, etc. The type of will be determined. The main control CPU 30a sets a big hit flag in the main control RAM 30c to indicate that the game is a variable game that is a big hit when the big hit is achieved. Is set in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines one of the variation patterns for hit variation based on the operation flag. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the jackpot determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the reach determination random number associated with the first reserved storage number and also determines the reach determination random number value and the reach determination. The values are compared, and reach determination is made as to whether or not both values match. In addition, as the reach determination value, a different value is determined mainly depending on whether or not a variable state is given, the number of reserved memory after subtraction, etc., and the probability of determining whether or not to execute reach production May be different.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach determination, and therefore executes a first reach variation process for executing a variable game that causes a variation in reach reach. In the first reach variation processing, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a, and, based on the operation flag, from among the variation patterns for the deviation reach variation. Select one and decide. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not win the reach determination, and therefore executes the first shift variation process for executing the variable game that causes the shift variation. . In the first deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a with a fixed stop. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the deviation variation patterns based on the operation flag. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, in the second hit determination process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the hit determination random number associated with the second reserved storage number with the hit determination value, and determines whether or not both values match.

  If the determination result of the hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a executes a second hit-time fluctuation process for causing the winning fluctuation game to be executed. In the second per-hour fluctuation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value associated with the second reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the special figure distribution random number value, A winning symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) is determined as a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b. In particular, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines the special figure based on the value of the special figure distribution random number, so that the big hit, the small hit, the type of the small hit, etc. The type of will be determined. The main control CPU 30a sets a big hit flag in the main control RAM 30c to indicate that the game is a variable game that is a big hit when the big hit is achieved. Is set in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines one of the variation patterns for hit variation based on the operation flag. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the jackpot determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the reach determination random number associated with the second reserved storage number, and also determines the reach determination random number value and the reach determination. The values are compared, and reach determination is made as to whether or not both values match.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach determination, and therefore executes a second reach variation process for executing a variable game that results in a loss reach fluctuation. In the second reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a non-designated symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b and, based on the operation flag, determines from the variation pattern for deviating reach variation. Select one and decide. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a has not won the reach determination, and therefore executes the second shift variation process for executing the variable game that causes the shift variation. . In the second deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as a special figure to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the deviation variation patterns based on the operation flag. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a sends a control command generated according to the determined items determined in the special symbol start process to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Output. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the variation game at the start of the variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special figure designation command for designating a special figure, after outputting the variation pattern designation command. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command to the effect control board 31 at the time of displaying the special symbol fixed stop.

  When the main control CPU 30a wins the big hit, after the end of the variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol, and the production control of the production control board 31 A predetermined control command is output to the CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Note that the types of jackpots here are classified into cases where a jackpot is won based on the result of the hit judgment, and cases where a jackpot is won based on the result of the hit judgment and the special pass area is passed. . The main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command when the variable game ends. The main control CPU 30a outputs a round command every time a round starts. The main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the interval time has elapsed when the round game of the last round is completed. Then, after the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a clears the jackpot flag and ends the jackpot game. If the main control CPU 30a wins the big win, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening signal when opening the first big winning opening 24, and outputs a closing signal when closing the first big winning opening 24.

  Further, when determining the small hit game, the main control CPU 30a outputs a command in the same manner as the opening command, the round command, and the ending command when determining the big hit game. Then, after the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to “0” and ends the small hit game.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 30a wins the small hit, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening signal when opening the first big winning opening 24, and outputs a closing signal when closing the first big winning opening 24. . In particular, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening / closing of the first big prize opening 24 in a short opening mode when a non-specific small hit is won in an unchangeable short state. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a wins a specific small hit in a variable state, the main control CPU 30a controls the first big prize opening 24 to be opened and closed in a long open mode.

  In addition, during the small hit game, when the main control CPU 30a determines that the game ball has passed through the special pass area based on the pass signal from the special pass switch SW6, the main hit CPU 30a sets “1” to the big hit flag, A special passage command designating that the special passage region has been passed is output to the effect control board 31. The main control CPU 30a, after the end of the small hit game, plays the big hit game in the same manner as the big hit game associated with winning the big hit lottery. In the present embodiment, as a big hit type of the variable game given when the game ball passes through the special passing area, the special figure extracted when the game ball wins each start winning opening 14,15. It is determined based on the distributed random number, in other words, based on the small hit symbol. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 30a does not determine that the game ball has passed the special pass area based on the pass signal from the special pass switch SW6, the main hit CPU 30a does not start the big hit game after the end of the small hit game. The game state is maintained and the next variable game is played.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state related to the variable state by controlling the operation flag. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a clears the operation flag (sets “0”) at the start of the big hit game regardless of the type of the big hit game. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not to give a variable state after the end of the big hit game, and determines the upper limit number of times to give the variable state. Then, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the variable state is provided to the operation flag when the variable state is provided. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a change designation command corresponding to the operation flag to the effect control board 31. The change designation command is a command indicating whether or not a change state is given. In particular, the main control CPU 30a, when a big hit game is awarded because the game ball has passed through the special passing area during the small hit game, the upper limit number of times of the variable state based on the type of the selected small hit To decide. As described above, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the variable state can be provided after the winning game ends based on the type of winning, and when the variable state is provided, the variable state is provided. The upper limit number of variable games will be determined.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating the number of times of operation when the variable state is given with a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 20 times, 40 times, or 60 times) as the upper limit number of times. As a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” for the number of times of operation for each variable game (at the end of the variable game), and when the value becomes “0”, clears the operation flag and sends a variable end command to the effect control board. To 31. This change end command is a command indicating that the change state has ended. In particular, the main control CPU 30a does not receive a big hit game when the game ball is not passing through the special passing area when a special small hit is won, and therefore the main control CPU 30a is changed after the predetermined upper limit number of variable games have ended. Control to end the provision of the state is performed.

Next, the control contents executed by the effect control CPU 31a in order to execute the variable game including various effects will be described below.
When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a performs control according to the input control command based on the effect control program.

  Specifically, when the change control designation command and the special figure designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a is based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command and the final stop design designated by the special figure designation command. The decoration drawing displayed on the effect display device 11 is determined.

  More specifically, the CPU 31a for effect control determines the decoration diagram from the big hit symbols in the case of the big hit symbol to which the big hit game is given, and in the case of the small hit symbol to which the small hit game is given, the decorative drawing is determined to the small hit Decide from the design. In addition, when the variation control designation command that causes the deviation reach fluctuation is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines the decoration from the deviation symbols that form the reach state, and when the fluctuation pattern designation command that causes the deviation fluctuation is input. The decorative drawing is determined from the detachable symbols that do not form the reach state.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect control CPU 31a wins a non-specific small hit, it determines a decoration from among the off-set symbols that form a reach state as the small hit symbol, while at the specific small hit In the case of winning, a reach state is formed as a small winning symbol, and a special symbol (any one of a triangle mark, a star mark, and a double circle mark) is determined as a decorative drawing in the middle row. In particular, the effect control CPU 31a determines a special symbol with a different probability depending on the type of the small hit (first to fourth specific small hits) when the specific small hit is won.

  Specifically, the CPU 31a for effect control determines the triangle mark as a special symbol with a higher probability than when winning for the first to third specific small wins when winning for the fourth specific small hit. On the other hand, the CPU 31a for effect control, when winning the first to third specific small wins, with a higher probability of stars and double circles as special symbols than when winning the fourth specific small hit decide. In addition, when the winning control CPU 31a wins the first specific small win, the double circle mark is determined as a special symbol with a higher probability than when the second and third specific small wins are won. When the second and third specific small wins are won, the asterisk is determined as a special symbol with a higher probability than when the first specific small win is won. In addition, when the CPU 31a for effect control wins the second specified small hit, it determines the double circle as a special symbol with a higher probability than when it wins the third specific small hit, while the third specified small win. When winning a small hit, the star is determined as a special symbol with a higher probability than when winning the second specific small hit. As described above, when a special symbol is displayed in a fixed stop as a symbol in the middle row when winning a small hit, the type of the small hit won is suggested by the type of the special symbol.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to display the decorative drawing in a variable manner with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the variation game. Subsequently, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to display the determined decoration drawing in a fixed stop manner.

  In addition, when the opening control command 31a is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the opening effect corresponding to the command. In addition, when the round command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that each round effect is executed. In addition, when the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 to execute the ending effect.

  In particular, when winning a specific small hit, when the ending command is input during the small hit game, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a special pass command is input during the small hit game. When it is determined that the special pass command has been input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to change the small hit symbol that has been confirmed and stopped as a decorative drawing to the big hit symbol. To do. On the other hand, when it is determined that the special control command has not been input, the effect control CPU 31a changes the small hit symbol, which has been confirmed and stopped as a decorative drawing, to the same symbol as the deviation reach variation. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. In this way, by displaying the big hit symbol as a decorative drawing, an effect that can specify that the big hit game is generated after the end of the small hit game is executed, and by displaying the off symbol as a decorative drawing, An effect that can specify that no big hit game is generated after the end of the small hit game is executed.

  When the change control designation command and the change end command are input, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value corresponding to the command in the effect control RAM 31c. In particular, the effect control CPU 31a can specify the type of winning from the type of special drawing when a special drawing designation command is input at the start of the winning variable game. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can specify whether or not the variable state is given based on the type of the hit, and specify the upper limit number of the variable state. Then, when the variable state is given, the production control CPU 31a sets the upper limit frequency of the variable state specified as the number of operations assigned to the production control RAM 31c. This number of operations is a counter for counting the number of times that the variable state is given. Then, the production control CPU 31a subtracts “1” the number of times of operation every time the variable game is executed until the number of times of operation becomes “0”.

  In particular, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the first to third specific small wins are won based on the special figure designation command, and the game ball has passed through the special passage area based on the special passage command. It is determined whether or not. Then, when it is determined that the big hit game by the passing of the game ball to the special passing area is given after winning the small hit, the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit game depending on the type of the won big hit. The upper limit number of variable states to be given later will be specified.

  In the present embodiment, various effects related to the determined hit type may be executed in the variable state. Specifically, in the case where a shortened state is given after the big hit game is finished, when the first to third specific small hits are won, if the game ball is passed through the special passing area, the given reduced state is continued. There is a case where a first continuation production effect is established in which it is decided that a small hit is won. The first continuation finalization effect as the specific effect is executed at the start of the variable game, and according to the special figure that is confirmed and stopped in the variable game, one of the first to third specific small wins has been won Can be specified, and an indicator for launching a game ball can be presented to the player. In the present embodiment, as the first continuation effect, it is applicable that a 7-design image is displayed.

  In addition, when the winning state is won after the jackpot game is over, when the jackpot is won, the first jackpot 24 is not opened and the jackpot game is started, and 60 times after the jackpot game is over. There is a case in which a second continuation effect that determines that the variable state is given with the variable game as the upper limit is executed. The second continuation confirmed effect is executed with the start of the variable game, and it is possible to specify that the big hit has been won according to the special figure displayed in the variable game. In the present embodiment, the V symbol image is displayed as the second continuous confirmation effect.

  In addition to the first continuation confirmed effect and the second continuation confirmed effect, the continuation suggesting effect may be executed when a variable state is given after the end of the big hit game. The continuation suggestion effect as the suggestion effect is a big hit that is awarded when a game ball won in the first grand prize opening 24 passes through the special passing area based on whether or not the win is won and the type of the winning win This is an effect that suggests that a variable state is given after the game ends. The continuation suggestion effect is executed at the start of a floating game, and according to the special figure displayed in a fixed stoppage in the floating game, it is possible to predict whether or not the winning is won and the type of winning per win can be predicted. An indicator of whether to launch or stop the game ball can be presented. In this embodiment, the continuation suggestion effect corresponds to the display of a cherry image, a watermelon image, or a bell image.

  In the present embodiment, the execution of the first continuation confirmed effect is determined in preference to the execution of the second continuation confirmed effect and the continuation suggestion effect. Specifically, when the execution of the first continuous confirmation effect is determined, whether or not to execute the second continuous confirmation effect and the continuation suggestion effect itself is not determined, and the execution of the first continuous confirmation effect is determined. If not, it is determined whether or not to execute the second continuation confirmed effect and the continuation suggestion effect.

Here, a specific example of an image displayed on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a decorative drawing is displayed on the image display unit GH in a fixed stop state. Then, when the start condition for the variable game is satisfied, the decorative display is displayed in a variable manner as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the decorative drawing in the left column and the decorative drawing in the right column are temporarily stopped so as to coincide with each other, reach state is reached, and as shown in FIG. 4 (d), the middle row As a decorative figure, a special symbol with a triangle mark is stopped and displayed, and a small hit symbol is stopped and displayed. In this case, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in the long open mode. However, when the game ball does not pass through the special passing area, as shown in FIG. It will be changed to an outlier design. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (f), a special symbol with double circles may be stopped and displayed as a decorative drawing in the middle row, and a small hit symbol may be displayed in a fixed stop state. Then, when the first big winning opening 24 is in the open state in the long open mode and the game ball passes through the special passing area, the small hit symbol is changed to the big hit symbol as shown in FIG. After the small hit game ends, as shown in FIG. 4 (h), the big hit game is started.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the big hit game is ended, a variable state may be given from the next variable game. When the start condition for the variable game is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner, and the first to third specified small items are continuously given the variable state. There are cases where a 7-symbol image confirming the winning of winning is displayed and the first continuation effect is executed. In this way, by allowing the player to recognize the execution of the first continuation final effect, it is possible to provide an opportunity to start the game ball that has been stopped.

  In this case as well, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the left column and the right column are temporarily stopped and displayed so as to coincide with each other, and the reach state is reached. As shown in the figure, a special symbol with a double circle is stopped and displayed as a decorative drawing in the middle row, and a small hit symbol is stopped and displayed. And when the 1st big winning opening 24 becomes an open state in the long open mode and the game ball passes through the special passing area, as shown in FIG. 5 (e), the small hit symbol is changed to the big hit symbol, After the small hit game ends, the big hit game is started.

  In addition, when the starting condition of the variable game is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 5 (f), the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner, and the winning symbol for winning the big hit that the variable state is continuously given is determined. May be displayed and the second continuation confirmed effect may be executed.

  In this case as well, as shown in FIG. 5 (g), the left column and the right column are temporarily stopped so as to coincide with each other, and the reach state is reached. FIG. 5 (h) As shown in the figure, the special symbol is not stopped and displayed as a decoration in the middle row, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped, and the big hit game is started without going through the small hit game.

  Further, when the start condition of the variable game is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 6A, the decorative image is displayed in a variable manner, and a bell image is displayed that suggests that the variable state is continuously applied. In some cases, a continuation suggestion effect is executed.

  In this case as well, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the display is temporarily stopped and the reach state is reached so that the decorative drawing in the left column matches the decorative drawing in the right column, and FIG. 6 (c). As shown in the figure, a special symbol indicated by a triangle is stopped and displayed as a decorative drawing in the middle row, and a small hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state. In this case, the first big winning opening 24 is opened in the long open mode, but when the game ball does not pass through the special passing area, as shown in FIG. It will be changed to an outlier design.

  Further, when the start condition of the variable game is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 6E, the decorative image is displayed in a variable manner, and a cherry image is displayed that suggests that the variable state is continuously applied. In some cases, a continuation suggestion effect is executed.

  In this case as well, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the left row decorative drawing and the right row decorative drawing are temporarily stopped so as to reach a reach state, and FIG. As shown in the figure, a special symbol with a double circle is stopped and displayed as a decorative drawing in the middle row, and a small hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, when the first big winning opening 24 is in the open state in the long open mode and the game ball passes through the special passing area, as shown in FIG. 6 (h), the small hit symbol is changed to the big hit symbol, After the small hit game ends, the big hit game is started.

  Here, the execution probability of the first continuation confirmed effect will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the first continuation final effect is executed according to the upper limit number of times of the variable state and the number of times of execution of the variable game actually executed after the end of the big hit game. The effect determination table in which the probability of performing is specified is stored in the effect control ROM 31b.

  Specifically, after the end of the big hit game, when the upper limit number is set to 20, 40 or 60 and the variable state is given, the first to third specific small wins are won in the first to the tenth variable games. When this is done, the first continuation effect is executed with a probability of 5/10. The probability of winning a small win is 1/4, of which the probability of winning the 1st to 3rd specific small wins is about 72/100. The number of times of winning is about 1.8 times, of which the first continuation effect is executed at 5/10. However, since the probability that the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 will pass through the special passing area is about 1/5, even if the first continuation effect is executed, the big hit game is not given every time. Instead, if the game ball passes through the special passing area, an opportunity to receive a big hit game is notified.

  In addition, after the end of the big hit game, when the upper limit number is 40 or 60 and the variable state is given, when the first to third specific small wins are won in the 21st to 30th variable games, 3 / The first continuation effect is executed with a probability of 10. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, when the upper limit number is 60 and the variable state is given, when the first to third specific small wins are won in the 41st to 50th variable games, the probability is 1/10 Then, the first continuation confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, the first continuation final effect is not executed in other variable games.

  Thus, in the case where a variable state is given after the big hit game ends, when the win is won in the variable game, the type of the win is the first to third specific small hits (specific hit), and the change Whether or not to execute the first continuation effect is determined by a predetermined lottery based on the number of times the game is executed (whether or not the specific condition is satisfied). In particular, it is defined that the execution probability of the first continuation effect is lowered when the number of executions of the variable game executed after the end of the big hit game is increased. In the present embodiment, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, the period in which the number of executions of the variable game is 1 to 10, 21 to 30, and 41 to 50 is predetermined. It corresponds to a specific period.

  Next, the execution probability of the second continuation confirmed effect and the continuation suggestion effect will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIGS. 8B to 8D, each effect determination table in which execution probabilities of the second continuation confirmed effect and the continuation suggesting effect are defined, and each effect as shown in FIG. 8A. A basic table for selecting an effect determination table to be referred to from the determination table is stored in the effect control ROM 31b.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, in the basic table, an effect determination table to be referred to is associated with the upper limit number of variable states and the number of executions of the variable game. In this basic table, when the number of times of execution of the variable game is 1 to 20 regardless of the upper limit number of times of change, the first effect determination table TB1 shown in FIG. . Further, when the upper limit number of times of the variable state is 40 and the number of executions of the variable game is 21 to 40 times, and the upper limit number of times of the variable state is 60 times, the number of times of execution of the variable game is 41 to 60 In the case of times, the second effect determination table TB2 shown in FIG. When the upper limit number of times of change is 60 and the number of executions of the variable game is 21 to 40, the third effect determination table TB3 shown in FIG. In other words, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, the special condition is satisfied every time the 20 variable games are executed, and the referencing effect determination table is changed.

  As shown in FIG. 8B to FIG. 8D, in each of the effect determination tables TB1 to TB3, in accordance with the type of winning (shown as “symbol” in the figure) and the effect to be executed, 2 Probabilities for determining whether or not the continuation-confirmation effect and the continuation suggestion effect are executed are defined. In other words, in each of the effect determination tables TB1 to TB3, the determination probability of the continuation suggestion effect is specified in order to determine any of the plural types of continuation suggestion effects, and the determination probability of the continuation suggestion effect is different for each. Has been.

  Specifically, after the end of the big hit game, when the variable state is continuously given in the eleventh variable game, the type of hit specified by the input special figure designation command is the first specific small hit ( When the symbol is Zc), the first effect determination table TB1 is referred to, and the cherry image is determined with a probability of 40/100. Further, a watermelon image is determined with a probability of 20/100, a bell image is determined with a probability of 5/100, and none is determined with a probability of 35/100, and a V symbol image is not determined. Further, after the end of the big hit game, when the giving of the variable state is continued in the 51st variable game, the type of hit specified by the input special figure specifying command is the fourth specific small hit (design Zf ), The second effect determination table TB2 is referred to, and the cherry image is determined with a probability of 38/100. Further, the watermelon image is determined with a probability of 6/100, the bell image is determined with a probability of 1/100, and none is determined with a probability of 55/100, and the V symbol image is not determined. In addition, since the 2nd continuation production | presentation effect in which a V symbol image is displayed does not change in any production | presentation determination table, since it is performed only when winning a jackpot, the reliability becomes 100%.

  In each of the effect determination tables TB1 to TB3, the reliability of the continuous suggestion effect in which the provision of the variable state is continued after the end of the big hit game is highest in the cherry image, and is in the order of the watermelon image and the bell image. For this reason, when the cherry image is displayed as the continuation suggestion effect, the big win is won or the first to third small wins are won as compared to the case where the watermelon image or the bell image is displayed. It is easy to continue the provision of the variable state after the end of the big hit game that is given when the game ball won in the big winning opening 24 passes through the special passing area.

  In addition, in each of the effect determination tables TB1 to TB3, if a small hit with a large upper limit number of variable states given after the end of the big hit game is determined among the first to third specific small hits, the shortage is changed. The cherry image is more easily selected than the case where a small hit with a small upper limit number of states is determined, and then the watermelon image is more easily selected, and the bell image is less likely to be selected. For this reason, when the cherry image is displayed as the continuation suggestion effect, the upper limit count of the variable state is likely to be larger than when the watermelon image or the bell image is displayed, and the watermelon image is displayed as the continuation suggestion effect. When displayed, the upper limit of the variable state is likely to be larger than when the bell image is displayed.

  In the first effect determination table TB1, it is defined that the reliability of the continuation suggestion effect is higher than that of the second effect determination table TB2 and the third effect determination table TB3. Further, in the third effect determination table TB3, it is defined that the reliability of the continuous suggestion effect is higher than that in the second effect determination table TB2. For this reason, it becomes the 1st production decision table TB1, the 3rd production decision table TB3, and the 2nd production decision table TB2 in order with the high reliability of a continuation suggestion effect, and continuation suggestion is increased as the number of times of execution of a variable game becomes large. It is stipulated that the reliability of the performance is lowered.

  Specifically, when the first effect determination table TB1 and the second effect determination table TB2 are compared, the continuation suggestion effect is executed with different probabilities when a specific small hit (symbols Zc to Zf) is won as a win type. The In the first effect determination table TB1, when the fourth specific small hit (symbol Zf) is won as the type of win and when it is out of place compared to the second effect determination table TB2, cherry images and watermelons are used as the continuous suggestion effects. The rate at which images and bell images are determined is defined to be low.

  Further, in the first effect determination table TB1, the probability that a cherry image is determined as a continuation suggestion effect is lower than that in the second effect determination table TB2, and the probability that a watermelon image and a bell image are determined is high. That is, if the number of executions of the variable game is increased, the watermelon image and the bell image are less likely to appear, and the cherry image is likely to appear.

  As described above, in the case where the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, when it is determined that the first continuation finalizing effect is not executed, it is based on whether or not the win is won and the type of win won. Whether or not to execute the continuation suggesting effect is determined based on the predetermined probability. Therefore, in consideration of the number of executions of the variable game and the type of continuation suggestion, it is possible to provide a novel gameability that allows the user to select whether to launch the game ball or stop the game ball. it can. Specifically, regardless of whether or not the execution probability of the continuation suggesting effect and the determination probability of the contents of the effect differ for each number of executions of the variable game, when the number of executions of the variable game is small, until the provision of the variable state is completed Can afford. For this reason, even when a watermelon image or a bell image is displayed, the game ball is stopped from being launched, and the game is provided so that the game ball is reliably launched when the cherry image is displayed. On the other hand, when the number of executions of the variable game is large, the provision of the variable state may end before the cherry image is displayed, so the game ball is fired even if the watermelon image or the bell image is displayed. Such a gameability is provided. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the number of executions of the variable game is small, the probability that a cherry image is displayed is lower than when it is large, and the probability that a watermelon image or a bell image is displayed is high. For this reason, it is possible to vary the appearance rate of the continuous suggestion effect between when the number of times of execution of the variable game is small and when it is large, and when the number of times of execution of the variable game is small, it is easy to stop the launch of the game ball. When the number of executions is large, the game ball can be easily fired. Further, when the winning state is given after the big hit game is finished and the winning type is won in the variable game, if the winning type is the big hit, the second continuous finalizing effect is executed by a predetermined lottery. It will be decided whether or not. In the present embodiment, the effect control ROM 31b in which such various tables are stored functions as a table storage unit.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, explanation will be given on the execution timings of the various effects of the first continuation confirmed effect, the second continuation confirmed effect, and the continuation suggestion effect, the confirmation stop display of special drawings and decoration drawings, and the small hit game To do. In the present embodiment, since the execution of the first continuation confirmed effect, the second continuation confirmed effect, and the continuation suggestion effect starts and ends at the same timing, it represents the first continuation confirmed effect, and the other effects are characteristic. Explain specific matters.

  The variation game starts at the timing of the symbol T10, and the variation game is executed until the timing of the symbol T12 after the time Tb has elapsed. In addition, when the specific game is won in the variable game, the small game symbol is confirmed and stopped at the timing of T12, and the variable game ends. Then, after a time Tc corresponding to the interval time has elapsed, a small hit game in which the first big winning opening 24 is controlled to open and close is started at the timing of T13. In the small hit game, the first big winning opening 24 is opened from the timing of the symbol T13 to the timing of the symbol T14 when the time Td elapses.

  In such a case, the execution of the first continuation effect is started at the timing indicated by T10. Then, the first continuation effect is continuously executed from the timing of the code T10 to the timing of the code T11 at which the time Ta elapses.

  In addition, the time Th from the timing of the symbol T11 at which the execution of the first continuation finalizing effect ends to the timing of the symbol T13 at which the first grand prize winning opening 24 is opened is determined according to the firing operation of the launching handle. It is defined as a time sufficient to change the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first grand prize opening 24 by changing the firing mode (launch strength). Note that the same can be said for the time Ti from the timing of the code T11 at which the execution of the first continuation effect is finished to the timing of the code T14 at which the first big prize opening 24 is closed. Also, the time Tf from the timing of the code T10 at which the execution of the first continuation finalizing effect is started to the timing of the code T13 at which the first grand prize winning opening 24 is in the open state, and the first grand prize winning opening 24 in the closed state. The same can be said for the time Tg until the timing of T14.

  On the other hand, the time Tc from the timing of the symbol T12 when the small winning symbol is confirmed and stopped to the timing of the symbol T13 when the first big winning opening 24 is in the open state is a game ball according to the firing operation of the launching handle. It is defined as the time during which the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first big winning opening 24 cannot be changed by changing the firing mode (launch strength). In addition, the time Td from the timing of the symbol T12 at which the small winning symbol is confirmed and stopped to the timing of the symbol T14 when the first big winning opening 24 is in the closed state is the launch of the game ball according to the launch operation of the launch handle It is not defined as a sufficient time for changing the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first big winning opening 24 by changing the mode (launch strength).

  That is, when the game ball launch mode is changed in accordance with the launch operation of the launch handle after the first continuation finalizing effect is executed, the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first grand prize opening 24 can be changed. At the timing, the first continuation confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, when the special ball is displayed on the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b, the game ball is changed to the first big winning opening 24 when the game ball is fired according to the launch operation of the launch handle. At a timing when it is difficult to change the winning or non-winning of the ball, the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  For this reason, if the firing operation of the firing handle is changed after the special symbol is confirmed and stopped on each of the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b, the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first big winning opening 24 is changed. By specifying the execution of the first continuation effect, the launch operation of the launch handle can be changed, and the winning or non-winning of the game ball at the first big winning opening 24 can be changed.

  Similarly, with regard to the continuation suggestion effect, if the firing operation of the firing handle is changed after the special symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b, the game to the first grand prize winning port 24 is changed. The winning or non-winning of the ball cannot be changed. On the other hand, by specifying the execution of the continuation suggestion effect and its type, it is possible to change the launch operation of the launch handle and change the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first grand prize opening 24.

  When the variation control designation command and the special figure designation command are input, the production control CPU 31a determines whether or not one of the first to third specific small hits is won based on the special figure designation command. If it is determined that any one of the first to third specific small wins is won, the effect control CPU 31a is in a variable state based on the number of operations assigned to the effect control RAM 31c. Determine. When it is determined that the state is the variable state, the effect control CPU 31a determines the upper limit number of the variable state and the jackpot game based on the number of operations and the type of hit specified when the winning game is awarded. The number of executions of the variable game executed after the end is specified. Subsequently, the CPU 31a for effect control performs a lottery with a predetermined probability based on the effect determination table shown in FIG. 7 based on the upper limit number of times of change and the number of times of execution of the variable game, and performs the first continuation confirmed effect. It will be decided whether or not to execute. When the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the first continuation effect, the effect control CPU 31a stores information to that effect in the effect control RAM 31c. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the winning type is won in the first to third small wins according to the special figure, depending on whether or not the specific condition is satisfied in the winning game for winning. It is determined whether or not to execute the possible first continuation effect.

  Then, when it is determined that the effect control CPU 31a is to execute the first continuation effect, one of the first to third specific small wins is won for a predetermined time from the start of the variable game. By performing the control of the effect display device 11 so as to display the 7 symbol images to be confirmed, the control for executing the first continuation confirmed effect is performed.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the first continuation effect is not to be executed, it determines whether or not it is a variable state based on the number of operations, and determines that it is a variable state. In this case, it is determined whether or not to execute the second continuation confirmed effect and the continuation suggestion effect. In this process, the effect control CPU 31a refers to the basic table shown in FIG. 8A, and determines the effect determination table based on the upper limit number of variable states specified in the same manner and the number of executions of the variable game. An effect determination table to be referred to is selected from TB1 to TB3. The effect determination tables TB1 to TB3 are switched every time a specific number of fluctuating games are executed in the case where a variable state is given after the end of the big hit game. In other words, the effect control CPU 31a is selected on the condition that the number of executions of the variable game executed after the end of the big hit game (the number of remaining times of the variable game up to the upper limit number of variable states) becomes the specific number of times. The production determination table to be changed will be changed.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a selects any one of the plurality of types of effect determination tables TB1 to TB3, refers to the selected effect determination table, performs a predetermined lottery based on the winning type, and continues the second continuation. It is determined whether or not to execute the confirmed effect or the continuous suggestion effect. Subsequently, when it is determined that the second continuation effect or the continuation suggestion effect is to be executed, the effect control CPU 31a stores information to that effect in the effect control RAM 31c. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a suggests an advantageous degree as to whether or not the provision of the variable state is continued based on the determination result of the hit determination and the type of the hit, and the plurality of different advantageous degrees. One of the types of continuous suggestion effects is determined by a predetermined lottery. In addition, when the big win is won, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the second continuation confirmed effect by a predetermined lottery.

  Then, when it is determined that the effect suggestion CPU 31a is to execute the continuation suggestion effect, when the big hit is made for a predetermined time from the start of the variable game, the variable state is given after the big hit game ends. The effect display device 11 is controlled to display a cherry image, a watermelon image, or a bell image that suggests continuing. In addition, when it is determined that the second continuous confirmation effect is to be executed, the effect control CPU 31a displays a V-symbol image that confirms that the jackpot has been won for a predetermined time from the start of the variable game. By controlling the effect display device 11, control is performed to execute the second continuation confirmed effect.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Depending on whether or not the specific condition is satisfied, it is determined whether or not a continuous finalizing effect that can be specified that the hit type related to the variable state is the first to third specific small hits is executed. Is done. As a result, it is possible to predict that a change state after the end of the big hit game will be given when the continuation finalizing effect is executed, and it is possible to continue or stop the launch of the game ball according to the hit type By providing the game, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (2) Further, by dividing the case where the continuation finalizing effect is executed and the case where it is not executed, it is possible to control the balance of the degree of advantage without excessively favoring the game progress related to the variable state. It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  (3) Since it is determined whether or not the continuation confirmed effect is executed by a predetermined lottery, it is possible to enhance the effect of the continuation confirmed effect by giving diversity to the execution conditions of the continuation confirmed effect, It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  (4) If the first to third specific small hits are determined as the types of winning in the case of winning the winning, it can be determined by executing the continuous confirmation effect. For this reason, it is possible to execute a continuation confirmed effect depending on the type of hit, and by giving diversity to the execution conditions of the continuation confirmed effect, it is possible to enhance the effect of the continuation confirmed effect, and to improve the interest of the game Can be planned.

  (5) Control is performed such that it can be determined when the continuation effect is executed in a predetermined time period after the end of the big hit game. For this reason, by providing diversity in the execution conditions of the continuation confirmed effect, the effect of the continuation confirmed effect can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (6) Further, based on the type of winning, a continuation suggesting effect that suggests an advantageous degree as to whether or not the provision of the variable state continues after the end of the big hit game is executed. This makes it possible to predict the advantageous degree of control related to the variable state after the end of the big hit game, and to provide gameability that allows the game ball to be continuously started and stopped according to the advantageous degree of control related to the variable state. Thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (7) Depending on whether or not the special condition of the number of executions of the variable game is established, one of the plurality of types of effect determination tables TB1 to TB3 is selected based on the type of winning, and based on the selected effect determination table Determine the continuation suggestion. For this reason, the probability of determining the continuation suggestion will vary depending on the number of executions of the variable game, and the reliability of the continuation suggestion can be varied. Can be achieved.

(8) If the special handle is changed and the firing operation of the launch handle is changed after the special symbols are displayed on the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b, the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first big winning opening 24 is changed. Can not do it. On the other hand, by specifying the execution of the first continuation suggestion effect or the continuation suggestion effect, it is possible to change the launch operation of the launch handle and change the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first grand prize opening 24. it can. For this reason, attention can be given to the first continuation effect production and the continuation suggestion production in order to specify the hit type, and the interest in the game can be improved.
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments, and the overlapping description is omitted or simplified.

  In the first embodiment, when a variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, a special condition is established when a specific number of fluctuating games are executed after the end of the big hit game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the second embodiment, when a special effect other than each continuation effect and continuation suggestion effect is executed, the special condition may be established and the effect determination table may be changed.

  Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to specify a special variation pattern (special variation content) based on the variation pattern designation command when determining execution of the continuation suggestion or the like. Determine. In the present embodiment, for example, the special variation pattern corresponds to a variation pattern that results in a loss reach variation, and when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a special variation pattern, Control is performed when a reach effect (special effect) is executed.

  When the special variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a sets information to that effect in the effect control RAM 31c. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 31a starts executing the variable game, causes the reach effect to be executed in the middle of the variable game, displays the off symbol, and ends the variable game.

  Next, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs the change pattern designation command, the control for the next change game is started, and information indicating that a special change pattern specification command is input in the previous change game is the effect control. If it is set in the RAM 31c for use, it is changed to an effect determination table with high reliability by one level, and the set information is cleared. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a performs control to change the effect determination table in the next variable game after the special condition is established and the reach effect is executed by determining the special change pattern. It becomes.

As described above in detail, the second embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (8) in the first embodiment.
(9) When the special effect is executed, the special condition is established and the selected effect determination table is changed. For this reason, it is possible to vary the probability of determining the suggestion effect by executing the special effect, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game by enhancing the effect effect of the suggestion effect.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the second embodiment, the variation pattern of the deviation reach variation corresponds to the special variation pattern, and the reach production that becomes a deviation as the special production corresponds, but not limited to this, for example, the variation variation of the special variation pattern A normal effect in which the variation pattern is applicable and the reach effect is not executed may correspond to the special effect. In this case, for example, when the variation pattern of the deviation variation is determined a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), it may be configured to change to an effect determination table with low reliability by one step. Further, for example, the presentation determination table may be changed regardless of the reliability.

  In the second embodiment, the special effect is executed when the special variation pattern is determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the special effect is executed regardless of whether or not the special variation pattern is determined. You may be comprised so that.

  -In 2nd Embodiment, although the effect determination table was changed from the next variation game performed after the variation game in which the special effect was performed, it is not restricted to this, For example, the variation in which a special effect is performed The effect determination table may be changed from the game. In other words, after the special effect is executed, the effect determination table may be changed, or after the effect determination table is changed, the special effect may be executed.

  In the above embodiment, for example, a special condition may be established according to the player's operation. As a specific example, an operation button for performance as an operation means that can be operated by a player is arranged in the pachinko gaming machine. The effect operation buttons are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. In such a configuration, the button effect is executed and set as the operation effective period of the effect operation button over a predetermined period. During this period, the effect control CPU 31a may change the effect determination table from the next variation game when an operation signal from the effect operation button is input. Further, for example, when the number of times that the operation button for performance is operated within the operation effective period exceeds a predetermined number, the highly reliable performance determination table may be changed by one step from the next variable game. In addition, for example, when the production operation button is operated during a specified part of the operation valid period, the production determination table with high reliability may be changed by one step from the next variable game. When the production operation button is not operated during a part of the period, the production determination table with low reliability may be changed by one step from the next variable game. In this way, special conditions may be established according to the operation of the operation means, and the effect determination table may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, the first continuation confirmed effect can be executed when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, winning in the non-variable state Only after the jackpot game given by is completed, the first continuation final effect may be executable. In this case, for example, whether the main control CPU 30a is in the non-changeable state when the winning is won based on the operation flag before the operation flag is cleared before the opening time of the big hit game starts. Is stored in the main control RAM 30c, and control is performed so that it can be specified after the big hit game ends. In this way, when the winning state is won in the case where the variable state is not given, since it is controlled to be able to be determined by executing the first continuation confirmed effect, the execution condition of the first continuation confirmed effect is varied. By providing, it is possible to enhance the effect of the first continuation confirmed effect, and to improve the interest of the game. In addition, it is possible to prevent the provision of the variable state from being continued excessively, and to increase the possibility of at least two consecutive resorts, and to improve the interest of the game. In addition, after winning in a non-variable short state, the first continuation effect may be executable until a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) is won, and there is a 100% probability. One continuation finalization effect may be performed. As a result, the player wins continuously for a predetermined number of times, and the predetermined number of times can be won as one set.

  In the above embodiment, the big hit game that is given when the game ball is passed through the special passing area by executing the first continuation effect that can specify whether or not the first to third specific small wins are won. Although the notification that it is determined that the variable state is given after the completion of is performed as the specific effect, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after the end of the big hit game that is given when the maximum upper limit finalizing effect that can specify whether or not the first specific small win is won and the game ball is passed through the special passing area, 60 fluctuations are made. Notification that it is determined that the variable state is given with the game as the upper limit may be performed as the specific effect. In addition, for example, a non-continuation finalizing effect that can specify whether or not the fourth specified small hit is won is executed, and after the big hit game given when the game ball is passed through the special passing area, Notification that it is determined that the state is not given may be performed as the specific effect. In addition, although it is configured to execute a continuation confirmed effect that can specify whether or not the big hit is won, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the first big hit that is given a variable state after the big hit game ends, A plurality of types of jackpots with a second jackpot that is not given a short state are defined, and a continuous finalization effect that can specify that the first jackpot has been won may be executed. That is, it is preferable that the notification for determining the type of winning regarding the variable state after the end of the big hit game given when the game ball is passed through the special passing area is executed as the specific effect. Further, as a condition for executing the continuation confirmed effect, the continuation confirmed effect may be executed with a probability of 100% depending on the type of winning (for example, the first big hit).

  In the above embodiment, whether or not the provision of the variable state after the end of the jackpot game is continued by executing the continuation suggesting effect, suggests the degree of the upper limit number of variable states, For example, any one of them may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the continuation suggesting effect is executed even when the winning is not won, but not limited to this, for example, the continuation suggesting effect is not executed when not winning the winning. Also good. Further, for example, it may be configured not to execute the continuation suggestion effect when winning a big hit.

  In the above embodiment, after determining whether or not to execute the first continuation confirmed effect, it is determined whether or not to execute the second continuation determined effect and the continuation suggestion effect at the same time. After simultaneously determining whether or not to execute the second continuation effect and the continuation suggestion effect, it may be determined whether or not to execute the first continuation determination effect. Moreover, it is not necessary to determine simultaneously whether a 2nd continuation determination production | presentation and a continuation suggestion production are performed, and the order is not ask | required.

-In the said embodiment, although a change state may not be provided according to the winning type of winning, it is not restricted to this, For example, you may give a change state after completion | finish of a hit game.
-In the above embodiment, the upper limit number of change states is changed after the end of the hit game based on the type of the small hit, but not limited to this, for example, the end of the hit game based on the type of the small hit It is good also as the upper limit frequency | count of a variable state later.

  In the above embodiment, the first continuation effect production, the continuation suggestion production, and the like have been executed for a predetermined time Ta triggered by the start of the variable game. An effect or the like may be executed during the variable game. Further, for example, a first continuation confirmed effect, a continuation suggestion effect, or the like may be executed in the middle of the variable game. Further, for example, the first continuation effect or the continuation suggestion effect may be executed at the same timing as the timing at which the small hit symbol is confirmed and stopped, or may be executed after that.

  -In the above embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, the execution probability of the first continuation effect may be different for each type of hit that was given the big hit game. For example, FIG. The production determination table may be changed as follows. For example, in the case where the upper limit number of variable states is 60 and the number of executions of the variable game is 1 to 10, the execution of the first continuation effect effect may be determined with a probability of 8/10. For example, when the upper limit number of times of the variable state is 20, and when the number of times of execution of the variable game is 1 to 10, the execution of the first continuation effect effect may be determined with a probability of 3/10. In addition, for example, the first continuation confirmed effect can be executed in 1 to 10 variable games, and the first continuation confirmed effect is executed in 11 to 60 variable games, regardless of the upper limit number of variable states. You may control so that it may not be carried out. In addition, for example, whether or not the continuation suggestion effect is executed with different probabilities depending on the type of win, and the effect content of the continuation suggestion effect is determined, but not limited to this, for example, it continues with the same probability depending on the type of win The suggestion effect may be executed. Further, the continuation suggestion effect may be executed with a different probability depending on a plurality of types of hits with the same number of times of change.

  In the above embodiment, the number of variable games is set as the specific period. However, the specific period is not limited to this, and for example, the elapsed time after the end of the big hit game may be set as the specific period. As a specific example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command after inputting an ending command after the jackpot game ends, a predetermined value (for example, a value corresponding to 5 minutes) is input. The elapsed time is counted by setting the counter and subtracting every time. The specific period may be set until the count counter reaches “0”. Thus, for example, the first continuation effect can be executed as a chance time only for 5 minutes after the end of the big hit game.

  -In the said embodiment, although the 1st continuation production | presentation effect was performed by performing lottery, it is not restricted to this, For example, without performing a lottery, if specific conditions are satisfied, a 1st continuation finalization production | generation is performed every time Alternatively, if the specific condition is satisfied, the first continuation effect may be executed once every predetermined number of times.

  In the above embodiment, the time Td from when the small winning symbol is confirmed and stopped until the first big prize opening 24 in the open state is closed is the first big prize opening according to the launch operation. Although it was not stipulated as a sufficient time for changing the winning or non-winning of the game ball to 24, it is not limited to this. For example, a time during which the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first big winning opening 24 cannot be changed may be defined. Further, for example, a sufficient time during which the winning or non-winning of the game ball to the first big winning opening 24 can be changed may be defined.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first continuation confirmed effect, the second continuation confirmed effect, and the continuation suggestion effect are executed in the variable state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be a combination. In other words, in the variable state, it was a continuation-confirmed production that confirms that the provision of the variable state continues, or a continuous suggestion effect that suggests that the provision of the variable state continues, Is a definite effect in which it is determined that the variable state is assigned, or a suggested effect that suggests that the variable state is provided.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the 2nd continuation definite production was performed, it is not restricted to this but does not need to be performed. Further, for example, both the first continuation effect production and the continuation suggestion production may not be executed, and either one may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the decoration corresponding to the special drawing in the variable game is displayed on the effect display device 11, but not limited to this, for example, the decoration corresponding to the common drawing in the normal game is displayed on the effect display device 11. It may be configured to be displayed on the screen or a combination thereof.

  -In the above-described embodiment, the type of the small hit won from the decoration drawing can be predicted. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, not the decoration drawing but the small winning portion from other effect images such as a character image and a background image. The hit type may be predictable. In addition, for example, the winning type of the small hit may not be predicted from a decorative drawing or other effect image. In addition to displaying an image by the effect display device 11, for example, sound from a speaker, light emission from a lamp, vibration of a vibration unit, displacement of a movable body, air blowing from a blower, etc. may be used. A combination of these may be used. Further, for example, the effect may be executed so that the result of the winning lottery or the winning type is determined. In addition, it is not necessary to perform an effect that can identify and predict the winning lottery result and the winning type.

  In the above embodiment, in the non-variable state, the first big prize mouth blade 23 is opened in a short open mode, and in the short state, the first big prize port blade 23 is opened in a long open mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a non-variable short state, the first big prize mouth blade 23 may be opened in a long open mode depending on the type of the winning small hit. In addition, for example, in the variable speed state, the first big prize mouth blade 23 may be opened in a short open mode depending on the type of the winning small hit.

  In the above embodiment, when the game ball passes through the special passing area after winning the small hit, the specified number of round games (upper limit number of rounds) is substantially set to “16 times”. Not exclusively. For example, the number of specified rounds may be varied depending on the type of small win that has been won, and further, it may be set so that a part of the round game is not substantially obtained. Further, for example, it may be set so that substantially no game is obtained in all round games.

  In the above embodiment, when winning a win based on the result of the winning lottery in the variable game, the winning type (big hit and small hit) is determined according to the type of special drawing, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery may be controlled separately. Regardless of the execution order, even if the big hit lottery is not won, If you don't win, you can make a big hit lottery. As a specific example, the winning probability of the big win lottery in the first variable game and the second variable game is 327/65536 (about 1/200), and the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the second variable game is 16384/65536 (about 1/4), the winning probability of the small hitting lottery in the first variation game may be defined as 1/65536. In addition, for example, the winning probability of the small win lottery in the first variation game may be defined as 0/65536. In this case, the first big prize opening 24 is in the open state in the long open mode, but short You may control so that it may not become an open mode in an open mode. Then, in the case of winning the small win in the second variable game, the third specific small with the probability of 8/50 with the probability of the first specific small with the probability of 13/50, the second specific small with the probability of 15/50. You may be configured to win each fourth specific small win with a probability of 14/50. By defining and controlling in this way, as in the above-described embodiment, in the second variation game, the first big winning opening 24 is configured to operate in the long open mode with a probability of about 1/20. May be. Also, for example, in the first variation game, when the big hit lottery is won, a change state is given after the jackpot game is finished with a probability of 1/2, and after the jackpot game is finished with a probability of 1/2. You may comprise so that a short state may not be provided. As a result, in the first variation game, it is controlled so that the jackpot lottery is won with a probability of about 1/200, and a variable state is given with a probability of about 1/2 (the rush rate is about 1/2). May be.

  In the above embodiment, the probability that the game ball won in the first big winning opening 24 will pass through the special passing area is about 1/5 due to the ratio of the special passing area and the general passing area formed. Not limited to this. For example, a shutter member that switches between a first special state in which a game ball can pass to a special passage area and a second special state in which the game ball cannot pass is arranged on the flow path of the game ball won from the first grand prize opening 24. May be provided. In this case, for example, one special passing area and one general passing area are formed, and the first special state is controlled only for 1/5 of the total opening time when the first big winning opening 24 is opened. The second special state is controlled only for 4/5 of the total opening time. By controlling in this way, the probability that the game ball won in the first grand prize opening 24 may pass through the special passing area may be about 1/5. In other words, the game ball that has won the first grand prize opening 24 is configured to pass through the special passing area with a predetermined probability (including 100%), and after the first big prize opening 24 is opened. It is good also as a structure by which the lottery of whether the game ball passes a special passage area | region is performed until it will be in a closed state.

  -In the above embodiment, when a game ball passes through a special passing area after winning a small hit based on the result of the winning lottery, a big hit game is generated, while on the basis of the winning lottery result, When winning, regardless of whether or not the game ball has passed through the special passing area, the big hit game is generated, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured not to win a big win based on the result of the winning lottery. Further, for example, it may be configured not to win a small hit based on the result of the winning lottery.

  In the above embodiment, when a small win is won in the variable game, a small hit game is performed in which the first big prize opening 24 is operated in an open state, and the game ball that won the first big prize opening 24 is in a special passing area. A big hit game was generated after the end of the small hit game, but this is not limitative. For example, when a big win is won in a variable game, a big win game is generated, and in the first round game, the first big winning opening 24 is operated in an open state, and a game ball passes through a special passing area. The jackpot game may be continued, and the second big prize opening 22 may be controlled to be opened in the second round game. In other words, when a jackpot display result is displayed in a variable game, a jackpot game is generated in which the first big prize opening wing 23 (first big prize opening 24) is opened, and the game ball passes through the special passing area. You may comprise so that a big hit game may be continued on the condition.

  In the above embodiment, the opening pattern for opening / closing the opening / closing blade 16 is determined in accordance with whether or not the variable state is given, but this is not restrictive. For example, an opening pattern for opening / closing the opening / closing blade 16 may be determined in accordance with the normal hit type.

  In the above embodiment, when the opening / closing blade 16 is in the closed state at the second start winning opening 15, the game ball becomes impossible to win, but this is not restrictive, and for example, if it is harder to win than in the open state The game ball may be winning. In addition, when the first grand prize port blade 23 and the second grand prize port door 21 are closed at the first grand prize port 24 and the second grand prize port 22, the game balls cannot be won. For example, a game ball may be winning if it is harder to win than in an open state. That is, it is only necessary that the opening / closing blade 16, the first grand prize winning blade 23, and the second big winning prize opening door 21 are operable so as to be open and closed.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the operation gate 19, the first big prize opening 24, and the second start prize opening 15 are respectively arranged on the right side of the game board 10, but not limited to this, for example, the game board 10 Each may be arranged on the left side. Further, for example, the second grand prize opening 22 may be arranged on the right side of the game board 10. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the operation gate 19, the 1st big winning opening 24, and the 2nd starting winning opening 15 were arrange | positioned sequentially from upper direction, it is not restricted to this, For example, the 2nd starting winning opening 15 is provided. There is no problem even if it is disposed above.

  In the above embodiment, when the normal winning symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display device 20, the second winning opening 15a is in an open state. However, it is not necessarily a condition that the normal winning symbol is displayed. If the winning lottery is won and the normal winning game is given, the second winning opening 15a may be opened.

  -In the said embodiment, the display mode of a special figure and a general figure is not ask | required. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a 14-segment display device is used as a special drawing. However, the display device is not limited to this, and a display device that displays a plurality of dots or a plurality of display devices may be used. It may be a display device that turns on and off the LEDs and the like.

  In the above embodiment, for example, a specific passing area and a general passing area through which a game ball won in the second grand prize opening 22 can pass are formed, and the game ball passes through the specific passing area by the end of round control. If not, it may be controlled so that the big hit game is terminated without executing the subsequent round control (so-called “puncture”). Further, for example, only in the round control of a specific round, when the game ball does not pass through the specific passing area, it may be controlled so that the big hit game is ended without executing the subsequent round control.

  In the above embodiment, when the winning lottery result is out of place, the reach effect is always executed when the reach determination is won. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the reach determination is won. You may comprise so that another effect may be performed based on the winning, without performing an effect. That is, reach determination can be said to be production determination for determining production contents. Further, for example, the reach determination may not be performed.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the 1st grand prize opening 24 and the 2nd big prize opening 22 were constituted as a separate object, it may comprise not only this but one grand prize opening, for example.
In the above embodiment, the second variation game is controlled to be executed with priority over the first variation game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first variation game and the second variation game are executed according to the winning order. You may control to make it. Further, for example, the first variation game and the second variation game may be executed simultaneously. Also, instead of two types of variable games, for example, one type or three or more types of variable games may be executed.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) a display means for performing a symbol variation game performed by changing a special symbol, and a hit determination means for determining whether or not the symbol variation game is a winning game, and a predetermined hit in the symbol variation game; On a gaming machine where a winning game is generated that is advantageous to the player on the condition that the display result is displayed, the normal symbol variation game that displays the normal symbol by changing the normal symbol when the normal start condition is satisfied A normal hit determination means for determining whether or not to become, a entrance where a game ball that can be a starting condition of the symbol variation game by entering a game ball can be entered, and a predetermined in the regular symbol variation game When the normal hit display result is displayed, the variable starting means having opening / closing means that operates so that the entrance can be opened and closed, and the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative A hit type determination means for determining a hit type corresponding to the hit display result, a special entrance where a game ball can enter, and the hit display result in the symbol variation game are displayed as a condition. Special opening / closing means that operates so that the special entrance can be in an open state and a closed state, and a game ball in which a game is generated by passing through a game ball that has entered from the special entrance can pass. Based on the special pitching means having a special passing area and the hit type determined by the hit type determining means, control is performed so as to give an improved entrance rate that the opening / closing means can easily open after the winning game is finished.
