[Fig. 539] This is a timing chart showing the transition of the game state when a small prize type is won in which the time-saving termination condition is not met due to the changing display of the second special pattern during the "time-saving state", the drive pattern of the small prize entry port solenoid and the specific area solenoid, the detection mode of the small prize entry port switch and the specific area switch, and the setting mode of the big prize flag.For example, this is a timing chart when the small prize type "time-saving D" is won in the "second time-saving state". [Fig. 540] This is a timing chart showing the transition of the game state when a small jackpot type is won in a state where the time-saving termination condition based on the number of time-saving times is met by the changing display of the second special pattern during the ``time-saving state,'' the drive pattern of the small prize entry port solenoid and the specific area solenoid, the detection mode of the small prize entry port switch and the specific area switch, and the setting mode of the jackpot flag.For example, this is a timing chart when the small jackpot type ``time-saving A'' is won in the ``first time-saving state.'' [Figure 541]This is a timing chart showing the transition of the game state when a small jackpot type is won in a state where the time-saving termination condition based on the number of small jackpot wins is met by the changing display of the second special pattern during the ``time-shortened state,'' the drive pattern of the small prize entry port solenoid and the specific area solenoid, the detection mode of the small prize entry port switch and the specific area switch, and the setting mode of the jackpot flag.For example, this is a timing chart when the small jackpot type ``time-shortened A'' is won in the ``second time-shortened state.'' [Figure 542] This is a timing chart showing the transition of the game state when a variable display that results in a miss is executed by the variable display of the second special pattern during the "time-shortened state" when the time-shortened end condition based on the number of times the time has been shortened is met, the drive pattern of the small prize entry port solenoid and the specific area solenoid, the detection mode of the small prize entry port switch and the specific area switch, and the setting mode of the jackpot flag.For example, this is a timing chart when a variable display that results in a miss is executed in the "first time-shortened state."

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] First Embodiment Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a "pachinko machine") 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 63. Fig. 1 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10 in the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10, and Fig. 3 is a front view of a game board 13 of the pachinko machine 10.

[0011] Conventionally, there are gaming machines that, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, transition to a predetermined game state advantageous to the player and award the player a profit. In the advantageous game state, if a predetermined condition is met by the player's play, the player can obtain a prize ball.

[0012] In such gaming machines, further improvements are required in the control method for the degree of advantage given to the player.

[0013] Specifically, for example, some conventional gaming machines are equipped with a control process that can change a probability setting value related to the player's degree of advantage, but the process of changing the probability setting value in these gaming machines is performed by an amusement facility manager (employee) only when the gaming machine is turned on, in order to prevent players from making unauthorized changes to the probability setting value and to properly manage the machine's payouts, and the change process is configured so that it cannot be performed while the player is playing. Therefore, when a player plays a gaming machine equipped with multiple probability setting values ​​and continues to not win a jackpot or to have difficulty winning a jackpot, the player may infer that the gaming machine has a probability setting value that makes it difficult to obtain a gaming profit, and may become distrustful of the gaming machine or the amusement facility and stop playing.

[0014] The present invention was invented in consideration of the above problems, and aims to increase the interest in the game and improve the operating rate of the gaming machine by allowing the player to change the probability setting value related to the player's degree of advantage during play.

[0015] More specifically, for example, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when a player fires a game ball to execute the dynamic display of a special pattern, the probability setting value can be changed when the number of times the dynamic display of the special pattern is executed reaches a predetermined value.

[0016] In order to achieve this object, the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is a gaming machine comprising: detection means capable of detecting the establishment of a start condition; determination means capable of executing a predetermined lottery based on the establishment of the start condition; display means capable of displaying a specific symbol in a stationary state after the variable display of multiple symbols has ended if the predetermined lottery results in a specific result; advantageous state generating means capable of generating an advantageous state advantageous to a player after the specific symbol has been displayed; setting means capable of setting a setting value used when outputting a game result performed by at least the display means to one of a plurality of setting values; setting value storage means capable of storing the set setting value; operable operation means; and initialization means for initializing the gaming machine based on a specific operation being performed on the operation means when power is turned on to the gaming machine, wherein the initial setting means is capable of setting the setting value to be stored in the setting value storage means based on the establishment of a predetermined setting condition that can be established when the gaming machine is initialized by the initialization means; The gaming machine is provided with a gaming state setting means for setting the gaming state of the gaming machine to a predetermined gaming state when the gaming machine is initialized; a first change means for changing the output mode of the gaming result to a higher level based on the fact that a first condition is met in the predetermined gaming state in which a predetermined setting value is set as one of the multiple setting levels; a second change means for changing the output mode from a higher level to the original output mode based on the fact that a second condition different from the first condition is met after the output mode has been changed to a higher level by the first change means; and an alert means for issuing a predetermined alert based on at least the fact that the first condition is met in the predetermined gaming state, wherein the first condition and the second condition are conditions that can be met at least when the power supply to the gaming machine is not cut off and the predetermined gaming state continues, and the gaming machine is configured so that when power is turned on to the gaming machine without initialization of the gaming machine by the initialization means, an output mode different from the output mode that was set before the power supply to the gaming machine was cut off can be set.

[0017] In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when the output mode is high, the advantageous state is more likely to occur than when the output mode is at the initial value of the predetermined setting value.

[0018] Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the predetermined setting value is set when the machine is initialized by the initialization means.

[0072] Furthermore, for example, in this embodiment, the stage at which the output mode of the game result becomes higher will be described as going from a jackpot probability value corresponding to jackpot probability setting value 1 to a jackpot probability value corresponding to jackpot probability setting value 2, but any configuration is possible as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a stage at which the winning probability value of a normal pattern becomes higher, a stage at which the small winning probability value of a special pattern becomes higher, a stage at which the transition probability value of the probability variable state or time shortening state when a jackpot is won becomes higher, a stage at which the appearance probability value of a predetermined effect that appears in the variable effect of a special pattern becomes higher, a stage at which the light intensity value indicating the brightness of the liquid crystal display device becomes higher, a stage at which the volume value indicating the volume output from an audio output device such as a speaker becomes higher, a stage at which the firing interval value corresponding to the firing interval of the balls fired from the firing device becomes higher, and a stage at which the firing force value corresponding to the strength of the balls fired from the firing device becomes higher.

[0073] Furthermore, for example, as the first change means, in this embodiment, a process for increasing the probability of winning in the set scenario counter counting process will be described as an example, but any configuration is possible as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a process that can change the degree of advantage for the player, a process that can change the presentation style of a variable presentation, a process that can change the game status, a process that can change the lighting brightness of the electric lights arranged on the game board, a process that can change the volume output from the game machine, a process that can change the frequency of appearance of a specific presentation in a variable presentation, and a process that updates a specific value.

[0074] Furthermore, for example, in this embodiment, a lottery to determine whether a special pattern is selected is used as an example of a predetermined lottery, but any configuration is acceptable as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, and examples include a lottery to determine whether a normal pattern is selected, and a special lottery that does not involve a big win or small win.

[0075] Also, for example, in this embodiment, the game status setting means will be described using the probability variable flag 203n as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a flag for determining whether or not a special pattern is in a high probability state, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a normal pattern is in a high probability state, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a jackpot state is in a state, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a variable performance is being executed, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a standby state is in a state, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a power-on state is in a state, a memory area such as a counter or area, etc.

[0076] Furthermore, for example, as an initialization means capable of initializing the gaming machine, the present embodiment will explain an example of initialization processing within the startup processing of the main control device 110, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a control process that initializes the contents set in the gaming machine, a control process that initializes the operating mode of the gimmicks arranged on the gaming board, a control process that initializes the lighting mode of the electric lights arranged on the gaming board, a control process that initializes the output mode of the sound output from the gaming machine, and a control process that initializes the presentation mode of variable presentations.

[0077] Furthermore, for example, as the second change means, in this embodiment, a process for lowering the jackpot probability value in the set scenario counter counting process will be described as an example, but any configuration is possible as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a process that can change the degree of advantage for the player, a process that can change the presentation style of a variable presentation, a process that can change the game status, a process that can change the lighting brightness of the electric lights arranged on the game board, a process that can change the volume output from the game machine, a process that can change the frequency of appearance of a specific presentation in a variable presentation, and a process that updates a specific value.

[0078] Furthermore, for example, as a predetermined notification, in this embodiment, a notification effect that a predetermined number of rotations has been reached will be described as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and for example, a performance based on the dynamic display of a special symbol, a performance that notifies that the execution of a variable special symbol performance has started, a performance that notifies that the variable special symbol performance has stopped, a performance that notifies that the dynamic display of a special symbol has been executed a predetermined number of times, a performance that notifies the current game state, a performance that notifies a recommended game method, a performance that notifies that the game state has shifted, and the like. These include effects that notify that a certain game state has occurred, effects that notify the remaining number of times the dynamic display of special patterns will be executed before the game state changes, effects that suggest a probability setting value, effects that notify that a ball has entered a specific ball entry port, effects that notify that a large prize entry port has opened, effects that notify that a small prize entry port has opened, effects that notify that a specific prize ball has been paid out, effects that notify that a specific detection switch has been turned on, effects that notify that some kind of error has been detected, and effects that notify that the startup process of the game machine is currently being executed.

[0079] In addition, for example, as a notification means capable of executing a predetermined notification, a setting value command process that notifies that a predetermined number of rotations has been reached will be described as an example in this embodiment, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and for example, a process that notifies that the execution of a special symbol variable effect has started, a process that notifies that the execution of a special symbol variable process has stopped, a process that notifies that the dynamic display of a special symbol has been executed a predetermined number of times, a process that notifies the current game state, and a process that notifies the remaining number of times the dynamic display of a special symbol will be executed until the game state changes.

[0080] Furthermore, for example, as the initial setting means, in this embodiment, an initial setting process related to the jackpot probability value executed during the start-up process (for example, jackpot probability value 1) will be described as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include initial setting process related to the small win probability value executed during the start-up process (for example, small win probability value 1), initial setting process related to the game state executed during the start-up process (for example, setting to "normal game state"), initial setting process related to the game state transition probability executed during the start-up process, initial setting process related to a predetermined effect related to the special pattern variation effect, initial setting process related to the light intensity value indicating the brightness of the liquid crystal display device (for example, default brightness), initial setting process related to the volume value indicating the volume output from an audio output device such as a speaker (for example, default volume), initial setting process related to the firing interval value corresponding to the firing interval of balls fired from the firing device (for example, default firing interval), initial setting process related to the firing force value corresponding to the strength of the balls fired from the firing device (for example, default firing force), etc.

[0081] Furthermore, for example, as the second condition, in this embodiment, the number of times the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed reaches a specific value that is greater than a predetermined value, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and for example, the second condition may be a game ball being launched, a game ball not being launched, no game operation being executed for a certain period of time, a game ball entering a specific ball entrance, a game ball entering a specific area, a dynamic display of the special symbol being executed, a dynamic display of the special symbol not being executed, the execution of the dynamic display of the special symbol being started, the execution of the dynamic display of the special symbol being finished, the number of times the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed reaches a specific value, the number of times the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed reaches a specific value, or the number of times the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed reaches a specific value.

[0082] As shown in Figure 1, pachinko machine 10 comprises outer frame 11, an outer shell formed by wooden frames assembled in a substantially rectangular shape, and inner frame 12, which is formed in substantially the same external shape as outer frame 11 and is supported so as to be able to open and close relative to outer frame 11. Metal hinges 18 are attached to outer frame 11 at two locations, top and bottom, on the left side when viewed from the front (see Figure 1), in order to support inner frame 12, and inner frame 12 is supported so as to be able to open and close towards the front, with the side where hinges 18 are provided serving as the axis for opening and closing.

[0083] A game board 13 (see FIG. 3) having numerous nails and winning holes (ball entry holes) 63, 64, 65, 71, 72, etc. is detachably attached to the back side of the inner frame 12. A pinball game is played by balls flowing down the front of the game board 13. Attached to the inner frame 12 are a ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 5) that launches balls toward the front area of ​​the game board 13, and a launching rail (not shown) that guides the balls launched from the ball launching unit 112a to the front area of ​​the game board 13. Details of the game board 13 will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

[0084] On the front side of the inner frame 12, there is a front frame 14 that covers the upper front side, and a lower tray unit 15 that covers the lower side. To support the front frame 14 and the lower tray unit 15, metal hinges 19 are attached at two locations, top and bottom, on the left side when viewed from the front (see Figure 1), and the front frame 14 and the lower tray unit 15 are supported so that they can be opened and closed toward the front, with the side where the hinges 19 are installed serving as the opening and closing axis. The locking of the inner frame 12 and the locking of the front frame 14, which are required as a predetermined operation, are each unlocked by inserting a special key into the keyhole 21 of the cylinder lock 20 and performing a predetermined operation.

[0085] The front frame 14 is fitted with decorative resin parts, electrical parts, etc., and has a window 14c formed as a roughly oval opening in its approximate center. A glass unit 16 having two glass plates is disposed on the back side of the front frame 14, and the front of the game board 13 can be seen from the front side of the pachinko machine 10 through the glass unit 16.

[0086] The front frame 14 has an upper tray 17 for storing balls, which juts out forward and is formed in a roughly box-like shape with an open top, and prize balls, loan balls, etc. are discharged into this upper tray 17. The bottom of the upper tray 17 is formed with a downward slope to the right when viewed from the front (see Figure 1), and this slope guides balls dropped into the upper tray 17 to a ball launching unit 112a (see Figure 10) which serves as an operating device. In addition, on the top surface of the upper tray 17, on the front left side when viewed from the front, there is a frame button 22, and behind the frame button 22 there is a player volume operation unit 44 and a player light intensity operation unit 45, respectively.

[0087] The frame button 22 is a button that is pressed by the player when, for example, changing the stage of the effect displayed on the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 3) described later. The frame button 22 is also used as an operation button for allowing the player to select the effect content in the preview display executed in the variable display of the third symbol (hereinafter, the variable display of the third symbol is referred to as "variable effect").

[0088] Furthermore, the variable effect is an effect displayed on the third pattern display device 81 (see Figure 3) described below, and as described below, is executed when a ball fired into the front area of ​​the game board 13 enters a specific winning hole (for example, the first starting hole 64 or the second starting hole 71 (see Figure 3) as the ball entry section described below), and after the pattern (the third pattern described below) fluctuates for a predetermined period of time, the result of the lottery held for that winning hole (whether it is a jackpot or not) is presented to the player based on the combination of patterns that are stopped and displayed.

[0089] Furthermore, a stage refers to a presentation mode that provides uniformity to the various presentations displayed on the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 3) described later, and the present pachinko machine 10 has three stages: a "town stage," a "sky stage," and an "island stage." The above-mentioned variable presentations and various presentations such as the "reach display" executed during the variable presentations are designed to be performed in accordance with the theme given to each stage.

[0090] Furthermore, the "reach display" refers to a display just before the "jackpot display" indicating that a jackpot will occur in the variable presentation executed in the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 3) described later. Specifically, it refers to a state in which the third symbols in the left symbol row Z1 and the right symbol row Z3 (see FIG. 9) described later stop at the same symbol, and the center symbol row Z2 (see FIG. 9) has not yet stopped and is continuing to vary.

[0091] In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the "reach display" can be broadly divided into a single element that constitutes the "normal reach" presentation (hereinafter, a single element that constitutes the presentation will be referred to as a "variable element"), a variable element of a "super reach" that is developed and executed from the variable element of the "normal reach" and has a higher chance of winning a jackpot than the variable element of the "normal reach", and a variable element of a "special reach" that is similarly developed and executed from the variable element of the "normal reach" and has a higher chance of winning a jackpot than the variable element of the "super reach".

[0092] The stage is changed when the player presses the frame button 22 as a specific game operation during a period when no variation effect is being performed (i.e., during a demo display) or during a "high-speed variation" variation element in which the third symbol is rapidly varying so as not to be visible to the player during the variation effect. Each time the frame button 22 as an operating device is operated, the stage is repeatedly changed in the following order: "town stage" → "empty stage" → "island stage" → "town stage" → ... Immediately after power-on, the "town stage" is set as the initial stage.

[0093] Furthermore, when a variable element of a "normal reach" is initiated in the variable performance performed by the third pattern display device 81 (see Figure 3) described below, and the variable element of the "normal reach" develops into a variable element of a "super reach" or a variable element of a "special reach", the third pattern display device 81 may be configured to display a selection screen for the variable element of the "super reach" or the variable element of the "special reach" during the variable element of the "normal reach".

[0094] Specifically, the selection screen displays multiple candidates that can be selected as the variable elements of "Super Reach" or "Special Reach", and the selected candidate is changed when the frame button 22 is pressed by the player while the selection screen is displayed. Then, the variable elements of "Super Reach" or "Special Reach" are determined based on the performance candidate selected when the variable elements of "Super Reach" or "Special Reach" develop, and the variable elements of "Super Reach" or "Special Reach" are executed on the third pattern display device 81 in accordance with the determination.

[0095] In the first embodiment, the frame buttons 22 are configured as buttons to be pressed, but instead of the frame buttons 22, they may be configured as an operation lever that can be tilted by the player in a predetermined direction relative to the pachinko machine 10 (for example, forward, backward, rightward, or leftward relative to the pachinko machine 10). Then, based on the direction in which the operation lever is tilted, the performance stage may be selected or changed, or the variable elements of the "Super Reach" or the variable elements of the "Special Reach" may be determined.

[0096] Furthermore, although the frame button 22 is configured to be positioned on the front side of the upper tray 17 when viewed from the side, the position of the frame button 22 can be any position as long as it is a position where the player can press it; for example, it can be positioned on the top side of the upper tray 17, or it can be positioned near (on the top or side of) the lower tray 50 described below.

[0097] The player volume operation unit 44 is an operation unit for adjusting the volume value output from the audio output device 226 (see FIG. 5) when variable effects and the like are executed, and is a button that can be pressed by the player. This player volume operation unit 44 is composed of a player volume increase unit 44a and a player volume decrease unit 44b.

[0098] Details will be given later, but this player volume operation unit 44 can be operated by the player regardless of whether or not a variable presentation is being executed, and is configured so that the volume value can be adjusted at any timing.

[0099] In addition, the volume value output by the audio output device 226 from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured to be adjustable by the volume values ​​of two volume operation units: the hall volume operation unit 117 (see Figure 2) described later and the player volume operation unit 44.

[0100] The hall volume operation unit 117 is located on the back of the pachinko machine 10, within the audio lamp control board (audio lamp control device 113), and is an operation unit that is adjusted in advance, mainly by hall personnel, before opening for business.

[0101] Therefore, for example, the actual volume value output from the pachinko machine 10 when a variable performance is being executed (hereinafter, the volume value output from the audio output device 226 when a variable performance is being executed may be referred to as the "actual volume value") is determined based on the volume value of the hall volume operation unit 117 operated by hall personnel, etc. (hereinafter, the volume value set by the hall volume operation unit 117 may be referred to as the "hall operated volume value"), and the actual volume value is determined based on the volume value of the player volume operation unit 44 that can be operated by the player (hereinafter, the volume value set by the player volume operation unit 44 may be referred to as the "player operated volume value") (see Figure 24).

[0102] For example, if the hall operation volume value is "1", the range of the actual volume value will be "2 to 10", and if the player operation volume value is "2", the actual volume value will be determined to be "4" (see Figure 24).

[0103] The player light intensity control unit 45 is an operation unit for adjusting the light intensity value output from the illumination units 29-33 by the lamp display device 227 (hereinafter, the light intensity value output from the lamp display device 227 may be referred to as the "actual light intensity value"), and is a button that can be pressed by the player. This player light intensity control unit 45 is composed of a player light intensity increase unit 45a and a player light intensity increase unit 45b. This player light intensity control unit 45 can be operated regardless of whether a variable effect is being executed, and is configured to allow the player to adjust the light intensity value at any timing. Note that the light intensity value set by the player light intensity control unit 45 is sometimes referred to as the "player-operated light intensity value," but since the light intensity value output from the pachinko machine 10 is configured to be adjustable only by operating the player light intensity control unit 45, this means that the player-operated light intensity value and the actual light intensity value are the same value.

[0104] Furthermore, the light intensity value output from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured to be adjustable only by the player light intensity operation unit 45.

[0105] The front frame 14 is provided with various light-emitting means such as lamps around its periphery (for example, at the corners). These light-emitting means change and control their light emission by lighting up or blinking in response to changes in the game state, such as when a jackpot is hit or a predetermined "reach display" is activated, thereby enhancing the dramatic effects during play. The periphery of the window portion 14c is provided with illumination units 29-33 incorporating light-emitting means such as light-emitting diodes (Light Emitting Diodes, hereinafter abbreviated as "LEDs").

[0106] In the pachinko machine 10, these illumination units 29-33 function as effect lamps such as jackpot lamps, and when a jackpot or a "reach display" is reached, the built-in LEDs of the illumination units 29-33 light up or flash to indicate that a jackpot is being achieved or that a "reach display" is being achieved, which is one step away from a jackpot. In addition, an indicator lamp 34 is provided at the upper left of the front frame 14 as viewed from the front, which has a built-in light-emitting means such as an LED and can indicate when prize balls are being paid out or when an error has occurred.

[0107] A small window 35 is formed by attaching a transparent resin to the underside of the right-side illumination unit 32 from the backside so that the backside of the front frame 14 can be seen, and certificate stamps and the like affixed to the attachment space K1 (see Figure 3) on the front of the game board 13 can be seen from the front of the pachinko machine 10. In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, a plated member 36 made of chrome-plated acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (hereinafter abbreviated as "ABS") resin is attached to the area around the illumination units 29-33 to create a more dazzling appearance.

[0108] A ball dispensing operation unit 40 is disposed below the window 14c. The ball dispensing operation unit 40 is provided with a number display unit 41, a ball dispensing button 42, and a return button 43. When the ball dispensing operation unit 40 is operated with bills, cards, etc. inserted into a card unit (ball dispensing unit, not shown) located on the side of the pachinko machine 10, balls are dispensed in accordance with the operation. Specifically, the number display unit 41 is an area where the remaining balance information of the card, etc. is displayed, and an internal LED lights up to display the remaining balance numerically as the remaining balance information. The ball dispensing button 42 is operated as a predetermined operation to obtain dispensed balls based on information recorded on a card, etc. (recording medium), and dispensed balls are supplied to the upper tray 17 as long as there is a remaining balance on the card, etc. The return button 43 is operated when requesting the return of a card, etc. inserted into the card unit.

[0109] In addition, in pachinko machines where balls are directly dispensed from a ball dispensing device to the upper tray 17 without going through a card unit, i.e., in so-called cash machines, the ball dispensing operation unit 40 is not necessary, but in this case, a decorative sticker or the like may be added to the installation part of the ball dispensing operation unit 40 to make the parts configuration common. It is possible to standardize pachinko machines that use card units and cash machines.

[0110] The lower tray unit 15, located below the upper tray 17, has a lower tray 50 in the center, which is formed in a roughly box-like shape with an open top, for storing balls that could not be stored in the upper tray 17. On the right side of the lower tray 50 is disposed an operating handle 51 that is operated by the player to shoot balls into the front of the game board 13. Inside the operating handle 51 are built a touch sensor 51a for permitting the operation of the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 10), a push-button type shooting stop switch 51b that stops the launch of balls while the switch is pressed, and a variable resistor (not shown) that detects the amount of rotation of the operating handle 51 by changes in electrical resistance.

[0111] As a specific operation, when the operating handle 51 is rotated clockwise by the player, the touch sensor 51a is turned on and the resistance value of the variable resistor changes in accordance with the amount of rotation, and the ball is shot with a strength corresponding to the resistance value of the variable resistor which changes in accordance with the amount of rotation of the operating handle 51, thereby hitting the ball into the front of the game board 13 at a distance corresponding to the operation by the player. Furthermore, when the operating handle 51 is not being operated by the player, the touch sensor 51a and the shot stop switch 51b are off.

[0112] A ball ejection lever 52 is provided on the lower front portion of the lower tray 50 to be operated when ejecting balls stored in the lower tray 50 downward. This ball ejection lever 52 is always biased to the right, and as a specific operation, by sliding it to the left against this bias, a bottom opening formed on the bottom surface of the lower tray 50 opens, and the balls fall naturally from the bottom opening and are ejected. This ball ejection lever 52 is usually operated with a box (commonly called a "dollar box") placed below the lower tray 50 to receive the balls ejected from the lower tray 50. As mentioned above, the operating handle 51 is disposed on the right side of the lower tray 50, and an ashtray 53 is attached to the left side of the lower tray 50.

[0113] Next, as shown in Figure 2, the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 is mainly equipped with control board units 90, 91 and a back pack unit 94. The control board unit 90 is a unit equipped with a main board (main control device 110), a voice lamp control board (voice lamp control device 113), and a display control board (display control device 114). The control board unit 91 is a unit equipped with a payout control board (payout control device 111), a launch control board (launch control device 112), a power supply board (power supply device 115), and a card unit connection board 116.

[0114] The back pack unit 94 is a unit consisting of the back pack 92 that forms the protective cover and the payout unit 93. In addition, each control board is equipped with a micro-processing unit (hereinafter abbreviated as "MPU") as a one-chip microcomputer that controls each function, ports for communicating with various devices, a random number generator used in various lotteries, a clock pulse generating circuit used for time counting and synchronization, etc. as needed.

[0115] The main control device 110, the voice lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, the payout control device 111 and the launch control device 112, the power supply device 115, and the card unit connection board 116 are each housed in board boxes 100 to 104. The board boxes 100 to 104 are equipped with a box base and a box cover that covers the opening of the box base, and the box base and the box cover are connected to each other to house the respective control devices and boards.

[0116] Furthermore, the board box 100 (main control device 110) and the board box 102 (dispensing control device 111 and launch control device 112) have their box bases and box covers connected (connected by a crimping structure) by a sealing unit (not shown) so that they cannot be opened. A sealing seal (not shown) is attached to the connecting portion between the box base and the box cover, spanning the box base and the box cover. This sealing seal is made of a brittle material, and if an attempt is made to peel off the sealing seal to open the board box 100, 102 or to forcibly open the board box 100, 102, it will be cut into the box base side and the box cover side. Therefore, by checking the sealing unit or sealing seal, it is possible to know whether the board box 100, 102 has been opened.

[0117] A base display device 401 is disposed on the main board that constitutes the main control device 110, and is assembled so that the display screen of the base display device 401 can be seen when looking at the rear side of the pachinko machine 10. The base display device 401 displays the base value (the number (proportion) of balls paid out (prize balls) for 100 balls fired in normal game mode) during normal play, while displaying the set scenario number in the set scenario number change mode and set scenario number confirmation mode. The base display device 401 is also configured to be able to display error history.

[0118] Additionally, the main board that constitutes the main control device 110 is provided with a setting key 501 that is used to change the setting scenario number that serves as the set reference value or to check the set setting scenario number, and an error display button 502 that is used to display the error history on the base display device 401. The setting key 501 and error display button 502 are provided to protrude from the main board through holes provided in the board box 100, and can be operated by hall personnel or the like without opening the board box 100.

[0119] The set scenario number is a value that can be set by a hall official or the like when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on. In addition, the pachinko machine 10 is configured so that the probability setting value as the setting content is set based on this set scenario number (details will be described later in FIG. 9).

[0120] Here, the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured so that the probability setting value can change as the player progresses in the game, i.e., as the dynamic display of special symbols is executed as a display mode. Specifically, in conventional pachinko machines, in order to prevent players from illicitly changing the settings, only hall personnel or the like can change the probability setting value by performing a setting change operation during the startup process of the pachinko machine. The probability setting value set at power-on is configured to be unchangeable or difficult to change during play. In contrast, the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured so that a setting scenario number is set at power-on, thereby setting the probability setting value corresponding to the setting scenario number. Furthermore, as the player plays, the dynamic display of special symbols is executed, and a predetermined game result corresponding to the setting scenario number is achieved (for example, a predetermined number of spins is reached), thereby allowing the probability setting value corresponding to the setting scenario number set at startup to change.

[0121] With this configuration, for example, even if the current game situation of the pachinko machine 10 has continued to make it difficult to win a jackpot, the probability setting value can be changed by the player continuing to play and executing the dynamic display of special symbols to match the setting content of the set scenario number, so that by continuing to play, the probability setting value may change to one that makes it easier to acquire game value than the probability setting value set up until then in the pachinko machine 10, which motivates the player to continue playing the pachinko machine 10, increases interest by creating new gameplay, and improves the player's willingness to play, making it possible to promote the operation of the pachinko machine 10. Note that details of the change in the probability setting value during play will be described later with reference to FIG. 9.

[0122] The payout unit 93 comprises a tank 130 located at the top of the back pack unit 94 and opening upward, a tank rail 131 connected to the bottom of the tank 130 and gently sloping downstream, a case rail 132 connected vertically to the downstream side of the tank rail 131, and a payout device 133 provided at the most downstream part of the case rail 132 and dispensing balls using a predetermined electrical configuration of a payout motor 216 (see Figure 10). Balls are successively replenished in the tank 130 from the island equipment of the gaming hall, and the required number of balls are dispensed by the payout device 133 as appropriate. A vibrator 134 is attached to the tank rail 131 to impart vibrations to the tank rail 131.

[0123] In addition, the payout control device 111 is provided with a state restoration switch 120, the firing control device 112 is provided with a variable resistor operation knob 121, and the power supply device 115 is provided with a RAM erase switch 503 as an operation device. The state restoration switch 120 is operated to resolve ball jamming (return to normal state) when a payout error occurs, such as ball jamming in the payout motor 216 (see Figure 10). The operation knob 121 is operated to adjust the firing force of the firing solenoid. The RAM erase switch 503 is operated as a specific operation when the power is turned on to return the pachinko machine 10 to its initial state.

[0124] Furthermore, the sound lamp control device 113 is provided with a hall volume operation unit 117 (see FIG. 2). As described above, the hall volume operation unit 117 is an operation unit for the hall operation volume value that can be operated by hall personnel, etc., and is configured to be operable with a tool or the like through a hole provided in the back pack 92. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the hall operation volume value can be adjusted to eight levels by operating the hall volume operation unit 117 as a predetermined operation (described later in FIG. 24).

[0125] Next, the specific configuration of the game board 13 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. First, as shown in Fig. 3, the game board 13 is provided with a wooden base board 60 machined into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, a number of nails, windmills, and rails 61, 62 for guiding balls, a general winning opening 63 and a right general winning opening 63a through which a predetermined prize ball can be obtained when a ball enters the opening, a variable winning device 65 that opens when a jackpot of the third symbol occurs, and a ball entry section that serves as a lottery trigger for a first special symbol, which is one of the third symbols (so-called special symbols as display forms). The inner frame 12 is configured by assembling together a first starting gate 64 as a ball entry portion which triggers the drawing of the second special pattern, which is one of the third patterns, a through gate 67 which triggers the drawing of the second pattern (so-called normal pattern), a normal electric role 72 which, when opened, allows a ball to enter the second starting gate 71, a variable display device unit 80 which has a third pattern display device 81 and a second pattern display device 83, etc., and its peripheral portion is attached to the back side of the inner frame 12.

[0126] The general winning opening 63, right general winning opening 63a, first start opening 64, variable winning device 65, second start opening 71, through gate 67, normal electric role 72, and variable display unit 80 are arranged in through holes formed in the base plate 60 by router processing, and are fixed with wood screws or the like from the front side of the gaming board 13. In addition, the center part of the front of the gaming board 13 can be seen from the front side of the inner frame 12 through the window portion 14c (see Figure 1) of the front frame 14. The configuration of the gaming board 13 will be explained below, mainly with reference to Figure 3.

[0127] An outer rail 62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially circular arc shape is set up on the front of the gaming board 13, and an inner rail 61 formed from a strip-shaped metal plate like the outer rail 62 is set up inside the outer rail 62. The outer periphery of the front of the gaming board 13 is surrounded by the inner rail 61 and the outer rail 62, and the front and back are surrounded by the gaming board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see Figure 1), so that a gaming area where games are played based on the behavior of the ball is formed on the front of the gaming board 13. The gaming area is a substantially circular area (an area where winning holes and the like are arranged and where shot balls flow down) on the front of the gaming board 13, partitioned by the two rails 61, 62 and the arc member 70.

[0128] The two rails 61, 62 are provided to guide the ball launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 5) to the top of the game board 13. A ball return prevention member 68 is attached to the tip (upper left in FIG. 3) of the inner rail 61, preventing a ball that has been guided to the top of the game board 13 from returning into the ball guide passage. A return rubber 69 is attached to the tip (upper right in FIG. 3) of the outer rail 62 at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the ball, and a ball launched with more than a predetermined force hits the return rubber 69, reducing its momentum and bouncing back toward the center (hereinafter, the act of launching a ball with such force as to hit the return rubber 69 and causing the ball to pass to the right side of the variable display unit 80 as viewed from the front is referred to as a "right-hand hit game," while the act of launching a ball to pass to the left side of the variable display unit 80 as viewed from the front is referred to as a "left-hand hit game"). In the first embodiment, in left-handed play, the ball can or easily enters the first starting hole 64 or the general winning hole 63, while it is configured so that the ball does not or cannot enter the second starting hole 71, the variable winning device 65, the normal electric role 72, the through gate 67, or the right-side general winning hole 63a. Also, in right-handed play, the ball can or easily enters the second starting hole 71, the variable winning device 65, the normal electric role 72, the through gate 67, or the right-side general winning hole 63a, while it is configured so that the ball does not or cannot enter the first starting hole 64 or the general winning hole 63.

[0129] In addition, between the lower right tip of the inner rail 61 and the upper right tip of the outer rail 62, a resin arc member 70 formed with an arc connecting the rails on the inner side is hammered into the base plate 60 and fixed.

[0130] At the bottom left of the game area as viewed from the front (bottom left of Fig. 3), a special symbol display device 37 is provided, which is provided with a status LED group 37a, a special LED group 37b, and a right-hit notification lamp 37c, each consisting of a plurality of LEDs that are light-emitting means. The special symbol display device 37 displays the first special symbol and the second special symbol in a variable manner (hereinafter, the variable display of both special symbols is referred to as "dynamic display") as a display form according to each control performed by the main control device 110 (see Fig. 10) described later, and also displays the game status of the pachinko machine 10.

[0131] The status LED group 37a indicates, by its lighting state, the number of reserved balls, which is the number of balls (reserved balls) for which variable display has not yet been executed among the balls that have won (entered) into the first starting hole 64 or the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry section described later. In addition, the number of jackpot rounds (hereinafter, rounds may be simply referred to as "R") and error displays are also indicated by the lighting state of the status LED group 37a corresponding to the respective states. Note that the status LED group 37a is configured so that each LED has a different light emission color (for example, red, green, blue), and by combining these light emission colors, various game states of the pachinko machine 10 can be indicated with a small number of LEDs.

[0132] In addition, a "round" in a jackpot refers to the period from when the large prize opening opening / closing plate 65a, which opens and closes the variable prize winning device 65 described below to divide the number of winning balls in a jackpot, is opened to when it is closed, and in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, one "round" is executed when "30 seconds" have passed since the large prize opening opening / closing plate 65a began to open, or when 10 balls win while the large prize opening opening / closing plate 65a is open.

[0133] The special LED group 37b is composed of a total of 12 LEDs, including an upper LED group 37b1 composed of six LEDs and a lower LED group 37b2 also composed of six LEDs. The upper LED group 37b1 dynamically displays a first special symbol that indicates the result of a first lottery game that is executed based on a ball entering the first starting hole 64. The lower LED group 37b2 dynamically displays a second special symbol that indicates the result of a second lottery game that is executed based on a ball entering the second starting hole 71.

[0134] Specifically, the upper LED group 37b1 displays a dynamic display (in the first embodiment, the LEDs in the upper LED group 37b1 are lit one by one in sequence, starting from the top LED and continuing down, and this lighting pattern is displayed repeatedly) until a variable time (dynamic display time) determined based on the winning of the ball into the first starting hole 64, which is located in the center of the surface of the game board 13, has elapsed, and then displays a stopped pattern indicating the judgment result (in the first embodiment, any of a total of 64 types of stopping patterns, depending on the combination of the lighting patterns of the six LEDs).

[0135] In addition, the lower LED group 37b2 displays a dynamic display (in the first embodiment, the LEDs in the lower LED group 37b2 light up one by one in sequence, starting from the uppermost LED and continuing down, and this lighting pattern is displayed repeatedly) until a variable time (dynamic display time) determined based on the winning of the ball into the second starting hole 71, which serves as an entry point and is located on the right side of the game board 13, has elapsed, and then displays a stopped pattern indicating the judgment result (in the first embodiment, any of a total of 64 types of stopping patterns, depending on the combination of the lighting patterns of the six LEDs).

[0136] In either of the LED groups 37b1 and 37b2, if the result of the judgment is a miss, only the leftmost LED is lit, and if the result of the judgment is a jackpot, each LED group is lit in a lighting pattern corresponding to the type (category) of the jackpot. Details of the stop patterns of each LED group will be described later.

[0137] In this pachinko machine 10, a judgment is made (jackpot lottery) as to whether or not a ball that enters the first starting hole 64 or the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry section is a jackpot, and if the judgment determines that a jackpot is a jackpot, the type of jackpot is also determined according to the winning hole 64 or 71 into which the ball entered, and the variable winning device 65 is opened and closed according to the type of jackpot.

[0138] The types of jackpots determined in the first embodiment include a "5-round time-saving jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "time-saving A")" in which the variable winning device 65 opens five times based on winning into the first starting hole 64 as the ball entry part, and a "5-round certain variable jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "certain variable A") in which the variable winning device 65 opens five times (see FIG. 10(a)). Also, based on winning into the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry part, a "10-round time-saving jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "time-saving B")" in which the variable winning device 65 opens ten times, and a "10-round certain variable jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "certain variable B") in which the variable winning device 65 opens ten times (see FIG. 14(b)).

[0139] Here, the "normal gaming state" as a predetermined state refers to a gaming state that is not a "time-shortened state" or a "probability-varying state," and refers to a state in which the jackpot probability of each special symbol as a display form and the hit probability of a normal symbol are in a normal state (i.e., a low-probability state), and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is short. In other words, the "normal gaming state" as a predetermined state is configured so that the jackpot probability of each special symbol is lower than in the "probability-varying state," and the hit probability of a normal symbol is lower than in the "probability-varying state" and the "normal symbol high-probability time-shortened state" (equivalent to the "normal symbol low-probability time-shortened state"), and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is also short.

[0140] As will be described in detail later, in a "normal gaming state" as a predetermined state, if a so-called right-hand hit is performed, it will not be a gaming state in which the ball is likely to land on the normal electric role 72 (hereinafter, the state in which the ball is likely to land on the normal electric role 72 may be referred to as a "winning support state"), but will be the most unfavorable gaming state for the player. In the "normal gaming state," if a ball shot by a right-hand hit is detected as a specific gaming operation (e.g., detection of the ball passing through the through gate 67), a predetermined alarm (e.g., a voice output of "Please return to left-hand hit gaming" or a display of "Please return to left-hand hit gaming" on the third symbol display device 81) is output to notify the player and hall staff that a non-recommended game is being played. This configuration suppresses the continued execution of a non-recommended right-hand hit game in the "normal gaming state," thereby realizing gameplay consistent with the game specifications.

[0141] In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when the probability of winning a special symbol as a display format is in a low probability state, if the player does not win a jackpot a predetermined number of times in a row in the dynamic display (in the first embodiment, "600 times"), as a rescue measure for the player, a function (so-called ceiling function) is installed that generates a "normal symbol low probability time shortened state" in which the jackpot probability of the special symbol and the winning probability of the normal symbol are in a low probability state, but the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is lengthened (hereinafter, when the probability of winning a special symbol is in a low probability state, not winning a jackpot "600 times" in a row in the dynamic display and entering the "normal symbol low probability time shortened state" will be referred to as "rescue condition fulfillment", and the number of times the "rescue condition is fulfilled" when the probability of winning a special symbol is in a low probability state may be referred to as the "number of times the rescue condition is fulfilled").

[0142] Next, the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" refers to a state in which the jackpot probability of each special symbol as a display form is a low probability state similar to the "normal game state" and the "normal symbol low probability time shortening state" described below, but the probability of winning the normal symbol increases, the variable display time of the normal symbol (hereinafter, the variable display of the normal symbol will be referred to as "variable display") is shortened, and the opening time of the normal electric symbol 72 is lengthened (hereinafter, the increase in the probability of winning the normal symbol, the shortening of the variable display time of the normal symbol, and the lengthening of the opening time of the normal electric symbol 72 will sometimes be referred to as the "high probability time shortening function"). This "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" makes it easier for the normal electric symbol 72, located above the second starting hole 71 as seen from the front, to be opened, making it easier for a ball launched by right-hand play as a specific game operation to enter the second starting hole 71.

[0143] That is, in the "normal symbol high probability time shortened state," although the probability of winning a jackpot with a special symbol is the same as in the "normal game state" as a predetermined state, a win with a normal symbol is more likely to be derived in a shorter time than in the "normal game state," and the open state of the normal electric role 72 is longer. Therefore, in the "normal symbol high probability time shortened state," it is easier for a ball shot by right-hand play to enter the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry part, so that it is possible to obtain a prize ball (for example, 1 ball / entry) as a predetermined setting based on the entry into the second starting hole 71, and play while suppressing the decrease in the number of balls in hand.

[0144] In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" is a state in which the probability of winning a normal symbol is high from the start of the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" until the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (in the first embodiment, the number of times the dynamic display of the first special symbol is executed is "100 times", the number of times the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed is "120 times", or the total number of times the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed is "120 times"). Then, after the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed the specified number of times, the machine is configured to transition from the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" to the "normal game state".

[0145] In addition, in the "normal high probability time shortening state," the "normal low probability time shortening state" described later, or the "probability changing state" described later, if it is detected that a ball has been fired by a left-handed hit as a specific game operation (for example, detection of a ball entering the first starting hole 64 as the ball entry point), a predetermined alarm (for example, a voice output of "Please hit to the right" or a display of "Please hit to the right") is output to inform the player and hall personnel that a non-recommended game is being played. By configuring in this way, it is possible to suppress the continued execution of non-recommended left-handed hit games in the "normal high probability time shortening state," "normal low probability time shortening state," or "probability changing state," and to achieve gameplay according to the game specifications.

[0146] Next, the "normal symbol low probability time shortening state" is a state in which the probability of a jackpot for each special symbol as a display form is low, similar to the "normal game state" and the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state," and the probability of a hit for a normal symbol is low, similar to the "normal game state" as a predetermined state, while the variable display time of the normal symbol is shortened and the opening time of the normal electric symbol 72 is long, similar to the "probability fluct...
