[0087] The embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below based on examples.

[0088] (Configuration of Pachinko Machine 1, etc.) FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine 1 and shows the layout of main members. The pachinko machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes the game board surface and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 that supports and fixes the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and game balls as game media are launched and driven into this game area from a predetermined ball shooting device.

[0089] Note that the "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols (the same applies to other symbols described later). Examples of the variation include updated display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, and enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols. In the variation of special symbols and the ordinary symbols described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbols described later, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are scroll-displayed or updated, or one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode of blinking display of a certain symbol. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display, etc.) as the display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). Note that the variable display may be expressed as a variable display or variation.

[0090] The special symbol that is variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as the "first special figure", and the special symbol that is variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as the "second special figure". Also, the special figure game using the first special figure is called the "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also called the "second special figure game". Note that there may be one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

[0091] An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), etc., and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

[0092] For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special figure game and the second special figure game, variable display of a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbol, such as a decorative symbol (a symbol indicating a number, etc.), is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the decorative symbol is variably displayed (for example, scroll display or update display in the vertical direction) in each of the "left", "center", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Note that the special figure game and the variable display of the decorative symbol that are executed synchronously are collectively referred to simply as variable display.

[0093] Also, a display area 5S for displaying the first hold memory number (for example, the number "0", etc.), the second hold memory number (for example, the number "4", etc.), and a small symbol corresponding to the decorative symbol is provided at the upper left of the display screen (display area) of the image display device 5, and the small symbol is variably displayed corresponding to the variable display of the decorative symbol.

[0094] Also, regarding the first reserved memory number, the second reserved memory number, the reserved display, the small handle, the error display (not shown) indicating the error state that has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the right strike notification image prompting the player to perform a right strike operation, the time-saving remaining number display indicating the remaining number of times for time-saving, etc., by being displayed in front of (upper layer) the production image (object image) such as characters, it is possible to prevent the production image from overlapping and reducing the visibility of the first reserved memory number, the second reserved memory number, the small handle, and the error display. On the other hand, regarding the decorative symbol, by being displayed behind (lower layer) the production image, it is possible to prevent the decorative symbol from overlapping and reducing the visibility of the production image.

[0095] Also, the above-mentioned small handle is also referred to as the fourth symbol. The fourth symbol is a symbol indicating that the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) is variably displayed. For example, in a display device such as the image display device 5, it is variably displayed by a certain operation in a manner that can always be visually recognized. When the fourth symbol is variably displayed, an effect is performed such that the production content including the variable display of the decorative symbol disappears from the screen in an instant, or an effect is performed such that the movable body 32 shields all or part of the screen of the image display device 5. Even if the decorative symbol is difficult to recognize, it becomes possible to recognize whether it is currently in a variably displayed state. The production control CPU 120 performs variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the first special symbol by operating the image display device 5 based on receiving the first variable display start command. Also, the production control CPU 120 performs variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the second special symbol by operating the image display device 5 based on receiving the second variable display start command.

[0096] At the lower part of the screen of the image display device 5, there are provided display areas (special figure hold memory display area 5U, active display area 5F) for displaying hold displays corresponding to variable displays whose execution is pending and active displays corresponding to variable displays in execution. The hold display and the active display are collectively referred to as variable display corresponding displays corresponding to variable displays. In this embodiment, although a special figure hold memory display area 5U common to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is provided, a first special figure hold memory display area in which a first hold display representing a variable display whose execution of the first special symbol is pending is displayed, and a second special figure hold memory display area in which a second hold display representing a variable display whose execution of the second special symbol is pending is displayed, may be provided separately. In this embodiment, the special figure hold memory display area 5U is a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the first special symbol when the game state is the normal state, and is a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the second special symbol when the game state is the time shortening state or the probability variation state. Further, the active display area 5F is a display area for displaying an active display corresponding to the first special symbol when the game state is the normal state, and is a display area for displaying an active display corresponding to the second special symbol when the game state is the time shortening state or the probability variation state.

[0097] At a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold display device 25A and a second hold display device 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first hold display device 25A displays the first hold memory number according to the number of lit LEDs. The second hold display device 25B displays the second hold memory number according to the number of lit LEDs.

[0098] Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A is provided, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided on the right side of the winning ball device 6A.

[0099] The winning ball device 6A forms a first start winning opening that is always kept in a certain open state in which game balls can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls are paid out, and the first special figure game can be started.

[0100] The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by means of a solenoid 81 (see Fig. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric accessory having a movable piece that can be opened and closed. When the solenoid 81 is in the off state, the movable piece assumes an upright position, thereby bringing the second starting winning opening into a closed state in which game balls do not enter (it is also said that the second starting winning opening is in a closed state). On the other hand, when the solenoid 81 is in the on state, the movable piece assumes an inclined position, thereby bringing the second starting winning opening into an open state in which game balls can enter (it is also said that the second starting winning opening is in an open state). When a game ball enters the second starting winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the second special figure game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to the above as long as it can change between a closed state and an open state.

[0101] At predetermined positions on the game board 2 (in the example shown in Fig. 1, three positions in the lower left of the game area and one position above the variable winning ball device 6B), a general winning opening 10 that is always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member is provided. In this case, when a game ball enters any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, ten) of game balls are paid out as winning balls.

[0102] Between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a first special variable winning ball device 7A and a second special variable winning ball device 7B having large winning openings are provided. The first special variable winning ball device 7A includes a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see Fig. 2), and forms a first large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. The second special variable winning ball device 7B includes a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 83 (see Fig. 2), and forms a second large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door.

[0103] In the first special variable winning ball device 7A, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the first big winning opening, and the game balls cannot enter (pass through) the first big winning opening. On the other hand, in the first special variable winning ball device 7A, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is in the on state, the big winning opening door opens the first big winning opening, and the game balls can easily enter the first big winning opening.

[0104] Similarly, in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, when the solenoid 83 for the big winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the second big winning opening, and the game balls cannot enter (pass through) the second big winning opening. On the other hand, in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, when the solenoid 83 for the big winning opening door is in the on state, the big winning opening door opens the second big winning opening, and the game balls can easily enter the second big winning opening.

[0105] The game balls that enter the first big winning opening are detected by the first count switch 23 (see FIG. 2), and the game balls that enter the second big winning opening are detected by the second count switch 24 (see FIG. 2). When game balls are detected by these first count switch 23 and second count switch 24, that is, when game balls enter the big winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When game balls enter the big winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when game balls enter, for example, the first start winning opening, the second start winning opening, and the general winning opening 10.

[0106] The entry of game balls into each winning opening including the general winning opening 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning at the start openings (the first start winning opening, the second start winning opening) is also referred to as start winning.

[0107] At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the lower left of the game area), a normal symbol display 20 is provided. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs or the like, and performs variable display of normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9", lighting patterns such as "-", etc. The normal symbols may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of normal symbols is also called a normal symbol game.

[0108] To the right of the image display device 5, a passage gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided. Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, a normal symbol game is executed.

[0109] Below the normal symbol display 20, a normal symbol hold display 25C is provided. The normal symbol hold display 25C includes, for example, 4 LEDs, and displays the number of normal symbol games whose execution is on hold, that is, the normal symbol hold memory number, by the number of lit LEDs.

[0110] On the surface of the game board 2, in addition to the above configuration, a windmill and a large number of obstacle pins for changing the flow direction and speed of the game balls are provided. At the bottom of the game area, an out port is provided for taking in game balls that have not entered any of the winning ports.

[0111] In addition, the game area in this embodiment is an area formed to the left of the image display device 5, and a left game area 2L where game balls can win the general winning port 10 and the first start winning port formed by the winning ball device 6A when the game balls flow down; and an area formed to the right of the image display device 5, and a right game area 2R where game balls can win the second start winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the first big winning port or the second big winning port formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 and can pass through the passage gate 41 when the game balls flow down.

[0112] Still, the normal state in the present embodiment is a gaming state in which the player mainly launches the game ball toward the left gaming area 2L, and the time-limited state, the sure-change state, and the big-win gaming state in the present embodiment are gaming states in which the player launches the game ball toward the right gaming area 2R.

[0113] Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3. A main lamp 9a is provided above the image display device 5 in the gaming machine frame 3, side lamps 9b are provided on the left and right of the main lamp 9a so as to surround the gaming area, and a button lamp 9e is provided below the game board 2. The main lamp 9a, the side lamps 9b, and the button lamp 9e provided on the gaming machine frame 3 are also referred to as "frame lamps".

[0114] A movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (the upper position of the image display device 5 in FIG. 1), and a movable body lamp 9d is provided on the movable body 32. In addition, an attacker lamp 9c is provided near the special variable winning ball device 7 on the game board 2, and a decorative lamp 9f is provided on the left side of the game board 2. The attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the decorative lamp 9f provided on the game board 2 are also referred to as "board lamps". Also, the main lamp 9a, the side lamps 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the button lamp 9e, and the decorative lamp 9f may be collectively referred to as the game effect lamp 9. Still, the main lamp 9a, the side lamps 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the button lamp 9e, and the decorative lamp 9f are configured to include LEDs. Also, various lamps will be described later.

[0115] A hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 that is operated by the player or the like to launch the game ball toward the gaming area by the hitting and launching device is provided at the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3.

[0116] At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, there is provided a hitting ball supply tray (upper tray) that can hold (store) the game balls paid out as prize balls or the game balls lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine so as to supply them to the hitting ball launching device. Incidentally, the game machine frame 3 may be provided with a payout portion (hitting ball supply tray) for paying out prize balls when the upper tray is full, separately from the upper tray.

[0117] At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, a stick controller 31A that can be grasped by a player and tilted for operation is attached. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. Operations on the stick controller 31A are detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

[0118] At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, a push button 31B that enables a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing or the like is provided. Operations on the push button 31B are detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

[0119] In the pachinko game machine 1, a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the operations (such as operations) of the player, but other detection means may also be provided.

[0120] (Outline of game progress) By a rotational operation of the hitting ball operation handle 30 of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player, the game ball is launched toward the game area. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, a normal pattern game by the normal pattern display 20 is started. Incidentally, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period of the previous normal pattern game execution or the like (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal pattern game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately), the normal pattern game based on the passage is held until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

[0121] In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (normal symbol for a win) stops and is displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "win on normal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the normal symbol for a win (normal symbol for a miss), which is a determined normal symbol, stops and is displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "miss on normal symbol". When it becomes "win on normal symbol", opening control is performed to keep the variable prize ball device 6B open for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening becomes open).

[0122] When a game ball enters the first start winning opening formed in the prize ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A starts.

[0123] When a game ball enters the second start winning opening formed in the variable prize ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B starts.

[0124] In addition, during the period when the special symbol game is being executed and during the period when it is controlled to be in the big win game state, which will be described later, if a game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening (when a start win occurs but the special symbol game based on the start win cannot be immediately executed), the special symbol game based on the entry is held until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

[0125] In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big win symbol, for example, "7", and the actual symbol varies according to the big win type described later) stops and is displayed as the determined special symbol, it becomes a "big win", and if a special symbol different from the big win symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") stops and is displayed, it becomes a "loss".

[0126] After the display result in the special symbol game becomes a "big win", it is controlled to be in the big win game state, which is an advantageous state for the player.

[0127] In the big win gaming state, the first big winning opening and the second big winning opening formed by the special variable winning prize ball device 7 are in an open state in a predetermined manner. The open state continues until the earlier timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing when the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). The predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the big winning opening can be opened in one round, and hereinafter is also referred to as the opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is in an open state like this is called a round (round game). In the big win gaming state, the round can be repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number of times (10 times, 6 times, etc.) is reached.

[0128] In the big win gaming state, the player can obtain prize balls by causing the game balls to enter the big winning opening. Therefore, the big win gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The more rounds there are in the big win gaming state and the longer the opening upper limit period is, the more advantageous it is for the player.

[0129] In addition, big win types are set for "big wins". For example, a plurality of types are prepared for the opening mode of the big winning opening (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) and the gaming state after the big win gaming state (normal state, time reduction state, probability variation state, etc.), and the big win types are set according to these. As the big win types, there may be provided big win types in which many prize balls can be obtained, big win types with few prize balls, or big win types in which almost no prize balls can be obtained.

[0130] After the big win gaming state ends, it may be controlled to a time reduction state or a probability variation state according to the above big win type.

[0131] In the time-saving state, control (time-saving control) is executed to shorten the average special symbol variation time (the period during which the special symbol varies) compared to the normal state. In the time-saving state, control (high-opening control, high-base control) is also executed to make it easier for the game balls to enter the second start winning opening, such as shortening the average normal symbol variation time (the period during which the normal symbol varies) compared to the normal state or increasing the probability of "winning on the normal symbol" in the normal symbol game compared to the normal state. Since the time-saving state is a state where the variation efficiency of the special symbol (especially the second special symbol) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

[0132] In the probability variation state, in addition to the time-saving control, probability variation control is executed to increase the probability that the display result is a "big win" compared to the normal state. Since the probability variation state is a state where the variation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and it is easy to get a "big win", it is an even more advantageous state for the player.

[0133] The time-saving state and the probability variation state continue until one of the end conditions, such as a predetermined number of special symbol games being executed or the next big win game state being started, is satisfied first. What has a predetermined number of special symbol games being executed as the end condition is also called "running out of times" (running out of times in the time-saving state, running out of times in the probability variation state, etc.).

[0134] The normal state refers to a game state other than advantageous states such as the big win game state advantageous to the player and special states such as the time-saving state and the probability variation state, and the pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability that the display result in the normal symbol game is "winning on the normal symbol" and the probability that the display result in the special symbol game is a "big win", is controlled to be the same as the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (when, for example, no predetermined return process is executed after power-on as in the case of a system reset).

[0135] The state in which the probability variation control is being executed is also referred to as the high-probability state, and the state in which the probability variation control is not being executed is also referred to as the low-probability state. The state in which the time shortening control is being executed is also referred to as the high-base state, and the state in which the time shortening control is not being executed is also referred to as the low-base state. By combining these, the time shortening state is also referred to as the low-probability high-base state, the probability variation state is also referred to as the high-probability high-base state, the normal state is also referred to as the low-probability low-base state, etc. The high-probability state and the low-base state are also referred to as the high-probability low-base state.

[0136] In addition, in this embodiment, the large winning openings that become the opening mode in a specific round (for example, the 6th round) differ according to the jackpot type. In the jackpot type in which the second winning opening becomes the opening mode in the specific round, the game balls enter the second large winning opening, that is, based on being detected by the second count switch 24, after the jackpot game ends, the game state is controlled to the probability variation state (high-probability high-base state).

[0137] (Advancement of the effect, etc.) In the pachinko game machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or livening up the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The said effect will be demonstrated below. In addition, although the said effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, in addition to or instead of the said display, it may be performed as an effect using audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, lighting or extinguishing of the game effect lamp 9, movement of the movable body 32, or any effect device including some or all of these.

[0138] As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the "left", "center", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the image display device 5, the variable display of the decorative symbols is started corresponding to the start of the first special figure game or the second special figure game. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the determined special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the determined decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols), which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbols, is also stopped and displayed (derived).

[0139] During the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode means, for example, a mode in which the variable display continues for the decorative symbols that have not yet stopped being displayed when the decorative symbol stopped being displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later.

[0140] In addition, a reach effect is executed in response to the reach mode being achieved during the variable display of the decorative symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a plurality of types of reach effects are executed in which the ratio (also called jackpot reliability or jackpot expectancy) at which the display result (display result of the special figure game or display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol) becomes a "jackpot" varies according to the effect mode. Examples of reach effects include a normal reach and a super reach with a higher jackpot reliability than the normal reach.

[0141] When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", on the screen of the image display device 5, a determined decorative symbol that becomes a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decorative symbol (for example, "7", etc.) stops being displayed aligned on a predetermined valid line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "center", and "right".

[0142] When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "miss", the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol does not become a reach mode, and a determined decorative symbol of a non-reach combination (also called "non-reach miss") may be stopped being displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a "non-reach miss"). Also, when the display result becomes a "miss", after the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a reach mode, a determined decorative symbol of a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination (also called "reach miss") may be stopped being displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a "reach miss").

[0143] Among the effects that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute, there is also included the display of the above-described variable display-compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as other effects, for example, a preview effect that previews the jackpot reliability is executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern. The preview effect includes a preview effect that previews the jackpot reliability in the variable display being executed and a lead preview effect that previews the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (the variable display whose execution is on hold). As the lead preview effect, an effect that changes the display mode of the variable display-compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be executed.

[0144] Further, in the image display device 5, a pseudo continuous effect that makes a single variable display appear as if it were a plurality of variable displays may be executed by once temporarily stopping the decorative pattern during the variable display of the decorative pattern and then resuming the variable display.

[0145] Even during the jackpot gaming state, a jackpot-in effect that notifies the jackpot gaming state is executed. As the jackpot-in effect, an effect that notifies the number of rounds or an upgrading effect that indicates that the value of the jackpot gaming state is improving may be executed.

[0146] Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not being executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer-waiting demo effect is executed).

[0147] (Substrate Configuration) The pachinko gaming machine 1 is equipped with, for example, a main board 11, an effect control board 12, an audio control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, etc. as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, on the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1, various boards such as a payout control board, an information terminal board, a launch control board, etc. are arranged. Further, a power supply board 17 is also equipped. The various control boards include not only an electronic circuit board such as a printed wiring board on which a conductor pattern is formed and electrical components can be mounted, but also an electronic circuit mounting board configured by mounting electrical components on the electronic circuit board to realize a specific electrical function.

[0148] A power switch 91 is connected to the power supply board 17. By operating (turning on) the power switch 91, power can be supplied from an AC power source such as AC 100V in an external power source like a commercial power supply to electrical components including various control boards such as the main board 11 and the effect control board 12 from the power supply board 17. The power supply board 17 is provided with, for example, a rectifier circuit for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a power supply circuit for converting a predetermined DC voltage to a specific DC voltage (such as DC 12V or DC 5V), and the like.

[0149] The main board 11 is the main control board and has the function of controlling the progress of the above-mentioned games in the pachinko game machine 1 (execution of special figure games (including management of holds), execution of general figure games (including management of holds), jackpot game states, game states, etc.). The main board 11 has a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, an output circuit 111, and the like.

[0150] The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103, a random number circuit 104, an I / O (Input / Output port) 105, and a real-time clock 106.

[0151] By executing the programs stored in the ROM 101, the CPU 103 performs processes for controlling the progress of the game (processes for realizing the functions of the main board 11). At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (data such as variable patterns described later, production control commands described later, and various tables referred to when making various determinations described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. A part or all of the RAM 102 serves as a backup RAM whose stored content is preserved for a predetermined period even when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped. Incidentally, all or part of the programs stored in the ROM 101 may be expanded to the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

[0152] The random number circuit 104 countably updates numerical data indicating various random values (game random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The game random numbers may be updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

[0153] The I / O 105 includes, for example, an input port to which various signals (detection signals described later) are input, and an output port for transmitting various signals (signals for controlling (driving) the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, the normal symbol display 20, the first hold display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal symbol hold display 25C, etc., solenoid drive signals).

[0154] The switch circuit 110 captures detection signals (detection signals indicating that a game ball has passed or entered and the switch has turned on, etc.) from various switches for detecting game balls (gate switch 21, start port switches (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), first count switch 23, second count switch 24) and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, it is detected that a game ball has passed or entered.

[0155] The switch circuit 110 receives the reset signal, power-off signal, and clear signal from the power supply board 17 and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100. The reset signal is an operation stop signal for setting the control circuits such as the game control microcomputer 100 to the operation stop state, and it may be output using any one of a power supply monitoring circuit, a built-in IC of a watchdog timer, and a system reset IC. The power-off signal becomes off when the predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and becomes on when the period during which the predetermined power supply voltage is equal to or lower than the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or more. The clear signal becomes on in response to, for example, a pressing operation on a clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17.

[0156] The output circuit 111 transmits the solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoids 81, 82, and 83) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory, the solenoid 82 for a big winning opening door, and the solenoid 83.

[0157] In addition, the pachinko game machine 1 in the present embodiment is also provided with a payout control board (not shown). The payout control board is connected to a payout device that is driven to payout a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 3 balls, 5 balls, 10 balls, 15 balls, etc.) to the player based on receiving a payout signal, and a game ball detection sensor provided in the payout passage through which the game balls paid out by the payout device pass. It is possible to stop the drive of the payout device according to the mode of the game ball detection signal received from the game ball detection sensor.

[0158] In addition, a handle sensor for detecting the amount of operation by the player and a touch ring (touch sensor) for detecting that the player is gripping the hitting operation handle 30 are connected to the payout control board. Based on the signals input from these sensors, the payout control board controls a launching device capable of launching game balls onto the game board 2. Also, a signal indicating whether or not the touch ring is detected and a signal indicating that a game ball has been launched by the launching device are input from the payout control board to the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11.

[0159] As part of the control of the progress of the game, the main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) supplies an effect control command (a command specifying (notifying) the progress of the game, etc.) to the effect control board 12 according to the progress of the game. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (e.g., the display result of the special figure game (including the jackpot type), the variable pattern used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later)), the situation of the game (e.g., the start and end of variable display, the opening status of the big winning opening, the occurrence of winning, the number of stored holds, the game state), commands specifying the occurrence of errors, etc.

[0160] The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, and has a function of receiving an effect control command and executing an effect (various effects according to the progress of the game, including driving of the movable body 32, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, etc.) based on the received effect control command.

[0161] An effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted on the effect control board 12.

[0162] The performance control CPU 120 executes processing for executing performances together with the display control unit 123 (processing for realizing the above functions of the performance control board 12, including determination of performances to be executed, etc.) by executing the programs stored in the ROM 121. At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

[0163] The performance control CPU 120 may also instruct the display control unit 123 to execute a performance based on detection signals (signals output when an operation by a player is detected, and signals appropriately indicating the operation content) from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B.

[0164] The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), etc., and executes a performance based on an instruction to execute a performance from the performance control CPU 120.

[0165] The display control unit 123 supplies a video signal corresponding to the performance to be executed to the image display device 5 based on an instruction to execute a performance from the performance control CPU 120, thereby causing the image display device 5 to display a performance image. Further, display processing is performed to output the image data in the display image creation area of the VRAM area designated by the display register as a video signal. In the present embodiment, the display image creation area and the drawing area are switched every V blank. For this reason, while drawing is performed on the area assigned as the drawing area in a certain V blank, in the next V blank, it switches to the display image creation area, so that the image data drawn in the previous V blank is displayed and output, and drawing is also performed in the other area during that time.

[0166] Further, as shown in FIG. 3, since the display control unit 123 generates an image to be displayed on the image display device 5 by overlapping (compositing) a plurality of layers, in the VRAM area, there are arranged a layer image drawing area for drawing and arranging the images of these respective layers, and a display image creation area for generating an image to be displayed on the image display device 5 by further overlapping (compositing) the images drawn and arranged in each layer image drawing area. Note that there are concepts of upper, middle, and lower levels in each layer image drawing area, and the image in the upper layer image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority in the image display device 5, while the image in the lower layer drawing area is set to have a lower display priority in the image display device 5.

[0167] As shown in FIG. 4, in the VRAM area, there are a layer 1 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a background image as the image of layer 1, a layer 2 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a decorative pattern as the image of layer 2, a layer 3 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an object image such as a character as the image of layer 3, a layer 4 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an enlarged effect image described later as the image of layer 4, a layer 5 image second area for drawing and arranging a decorative effect image described later as the image of layer 5, a layer 6 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a crack precursor image (such as a glass plate image) described later as the image of layer 6, a layer 7 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a glass plate image A as a crack target image to be displayed in place of the glass plate image and a fragment image generated by the cracking of the glass plate image A as the image of layer 7, a layer 8 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an operation effect image described later as the image of layer 8, a layer 9 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a whiteout image 003SG303 described later as the image of layer 9, a layer 10 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an operation promotion image described later as the image of layer 10, a layer 11 image drawing area for drawing and arranging variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display) as the image of layer 11, a layer 12 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an image of a right-handed display or a left-handed display described later as the image of layer 12, and a layer 13 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a small pattern (fourth pattern) as the image of layer 13 are arranged.

[0168] Furthermore, the magnification effect in the present embodiment is an image that imitates (is in a similar relationship with) the target image in each effect and is enlarged and displayed over time. It is an image with a higher transmittance than the target image, and the transmittance gradually increases as it is enlarged (see FIGS. 83 to 97). The decoration effect in the present embodiment is an image with a shape different from that of the target image in each effect, and at least the transmittance at the start of display is the same as that of the target image (transmittance 0%) (see FIGS. 98 and 99). Also, compared with the decoration effect, the development cost of the magnification effect is lower. Specifically, for the decoration effect, since dedicated material data is prepared and the material data is appropriately processed, it takes a certain amount of time to create the image. In contrast, for the magnification effect, since it can be created by diverting the material data of the decorative pattern, it is an image that can be created in a short period of time. That is, the magnification effect is an image that can effectively make the target image to be noticed stand out while having a low development cost.

[0169] In this embodiment, it is possible to generate an image to be displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 by superimposing the respective images drawn and arranged in these layer 1 image drawing areas to layer 13 image drawing areas. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area is set to have the lowest display priority, the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 12 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area, and the image drawn in the layer 13 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 12 image drawing area.

[0170] That is, the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area is the image displayed in the bottom layer in the image display device 5, and the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 12 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in a layer above the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area in the image display device 5. The image drawn in the layer 13 image drawing area is the image displayed in the top layer in the image display device 5.

[0171] The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 and a lamp signal (a signal for designating the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform voice output synchronized with the display of the effect image and the lighting / extinguishing of the game effect lamp 9. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

[0172] The sound control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R.

[0173] The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9, drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and lights / extinguishes the game effect lamp 9 in the mode designated by the lamp signal. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the voice output and the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

[0174] Note that the control of the voice output, the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp (such as the supply of the sound designation signal and the lamp signal), and the control of the movable body 32 (such as the supply of the signal for operating the movable body 32) may be executed by the effect control CPU 120.

[0175] The random number circuit 124 countably updates numerical data indicating various random values (random numbers for effects) used for executing various effects in a renewable manner. The random numbers for effects may be updated by the effect control CPU 120 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

[0176] The I / O 125 mounted on the effect control board 12 includes an input port for taking in effect control commands transmitted from, for example, the main board 11, and an output port for transmitting various signals (video signals, sound designation signals, lamp signals).

[0177] Boards other than the main board 11, such as the performance control board 12, the audio control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as sub-boards. A pachinko gaming machine 1 may be provided with a plurality of sub-boards according to function, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

[0178] FIG. 6(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the content of the performance control command used in the present embodiment. The performance control command has, for example, a two-byte configuration. The first byte indicates MODE (classification of the command), and the second byte represents EXT (type of the command). The leading bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to "0", and the leading bit of the EXT data is set to "0". Note that the command format shown in FIG. 6(A) is an example, and other command formats may be used. Also, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be 1, or may be a plurality of three or more.

[0179] In the example shown in FIG. 6(A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A. The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in a special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a variable pattern designation command for designating a variable pattern (variation time (variable display time)), such as a decorative symbol (also referred to as a performance symbol) variably displayed in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "center", and "right" in the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and it may be any value set according to the instruction content by the performance control command. Note that in the variable pattern designation command, different EXT data is set according to the variable pattern to be designated.

[0180] Command 8CXXH is a variable display result specification command, which is an effect control command for specifying variable display results such as special symbols and decorative symbols. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 6(B), different EXT data are set according to the determination result (pre-determined result) as to whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "loss" or "big win", or the determination result (big win type determination result) as to which of multiple types the big win type is when the variable display result is "big win".

[0181] In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 6(B), command 8C00H is the first variable display result specification command indicating a pre-determined result that the variable display result is "loss". Command 8C01H is the second variable display result specification command notifying a pre-determined result and a big win type determination result that the variable display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win A". Command 8C02H is the third variable display result specification command notifying a pre-determined result and a big win type determination result that the variable display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win B". Command 8C03H is the fourth variable display result specification command notifying a pre-determined result and a big win type determination result that the variable display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win C".

[0182] Command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command that specifies the stoppage (confirmation) of symbol variation in each of the "left", "center", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5. Command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, for example, different EXT data is set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, command 9500H is set as the first game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither time shortening control nor probability variation control is performed, command 9501H is set as the second game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, time shortening state) in which time shortening control is performed while probability variation control is not performed, and command 9502H is set as the third game state designation command corresponding to a game state (high probability high base state, probability variation state) in which time shortening control and probability variation control are performed. Note that the high probability high base state may sometimes be simply referred to as the "probability variation state".

[0183] Command A0XXH is a winning start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") that designates the display of a production image indicating the start of a big win game. Command A1XXH is a big winning opening notification command that notifies that the big winning opening is in an open state during the big win game state. Command A2XXH is a big winning opening after notification command that notifies that the big winning opening has changed from an open state to a closed state during the big win game state. Command A3XXH is a winning end designation command that designates the display of a production image at the end of the big win game.

[0184] In the winning start specification command and the winning end specification command, for example, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result by setting EXT data similar to the variable display result specification command. Alternatively, in the winning start specification command and the winning end specification command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the EXT data to be set may be made different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result specification command. In the big winning opening notification command and the big winning opening post-notification command, for example, different EXT data are set corresponding to the number of times of execution of the round in the jackpot state described later (for example, "0" to "10").

[0185] Command B100H is a first start port winning designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied based on the fact that a game ball that has passed (entered) through the first start winning port formed by the winning ball device 6A has been detected by the first start port switch 22A and a start winning (first start winning) has occurred. Command B200H is a second start port winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing a special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied based on the fact that a game ball that has passed (entered) through the second start winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B has been detected by the second start port switch 22B and a start winning (second start winning) has occurred. Command B300H is a big winning port winning designation command for notifying that 15 bonus balls are to be paid out based on the fact that a game ball that has passed (entered) through the first big winning port or the second big winning port of the special variable winning ball device 7 has been detected by the first count switch 23 or the second count switch 24 and a winning has occurred.

[0186] Command C1XXH is a first reserved memory number notification command that notifies the first special drawing reserved memory number in order to identify the special drawing reserved memory number. Command C2XXH is a second reserved memory number notification command that notifies the second special drawing reserved memory number in order to identify the special drawing reserved memory number. The first reserved memory number notification command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 when, for example, based on the fact that a game ball has passed (entered) the first start winning opening and the first start condition has been satisfied, the first start opening winning designation command is transmitted. The second reserved memory number notification command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 when, for example, based on the fact that a game ball has passed (entered) the second start winning opening and the second start condition has been satisfied, the second start opening winning designation command is transmitted. Also, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command may be transmitted in response to, for example, the start of execution of the special drawing game when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the reserved memory number decreases).

[0187] Commands C4XXH and C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result designation commands) that indicate the content of the winning determination result. Among these, command C4XXH is a symbol designation command that indicates, as the winning determination result, whether the variable display result is a "big win" or not and the determination result of the big win type (probability variable, non-probability variable, sudden probability variable). Also, command C6XXH is a variation category command that indicates, as the winning determination result, the determination result of whether the random number value for variation pattern determination becomes any of the variation patterns of "non-reach", "super reach", or "other (normal reach)".

[0188] Instead of the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command, a total reserved memory number notification command that notifies the total reserved memory number may be transmitted. That is, a total reserved memory number notification command for notifying an increase (or decrease) in the total reserved memory number may be used.

[0189] Command D000H is a V-win notification command for notifying that a game ball has won in the second big winning opening in the big win gaming state, that is, that a game ball has been detected by the second count switch 24. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the detection of a game ball by the second count switch 24 during the big win game may be described as "V-win". The "V-win" in the present embodiment refers to the execution of both time shortening control and probability variation control (being controlled to a high probability high base state) in the high base state after the big win game in which the win has occurred.

[0190] Command 9F00H is a customer waiting demo display designation command for designating the execution of a customer waiting demonstration display (customer waiting demo).

[0191] Note that the commands shown in Fig. 6(A) are merely examples, and it is possible not to have some of these commands, to use different commands instead of these commands, or to add commands different from these commands. For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls paid out based on a game ball winning in each winning opening, a gate passage notification command for notifying that a game ball has passed through the passage gate 41, a notification command for notifying the remaining variable display times for which probability variation control and time shortening control are executed, etc. may be provided.

[0192] Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random values counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in Fig. 7, on the side of the main board 11, numerical data indicating each of the random value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random value MR2 for big win type determination, the random value MR3 for variation pattern type determination, the random value MR4 for variation pattern determination, the random value MR5 for normal figure display result determination, and the random value MR6 for initial value determination of the random value MR5 is controlled to be countable. Note that random values other than these may be used to enhance the game effect. The random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also referred to as game random numbers.

[0193] The random number circuit 104 may be any circuit that counts numerical data indicating some or all of these random values MR1 to MR6. For example, the CPU 103 may use a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting section (not shown), to update various numerical data by software, so as to count the numerical data indicating some of the random values MR1 to MR6.

[0194] The random value MR1 for determining the result of the special figure display is a random value used to determine whether to control the variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game to the "big win" state as a big win game state. For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "65536". The random value MR2 for determining the type of big win is a random value used to determine the type of big win to be one of "big win A", "big win B", and "big win C" when the variable display result is "big win". For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "99".

[0195] The random value MR3 for determining the type of variation pattern is a random value used to determine the type of variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to be one of "non-reach", "normal reach", and "super reach". For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "4095".

[0196] The random value MR4 for determining the variation pattern is a random value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to be one of a plurality of types prepared in advance. For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "255".

[0197] The random value MR5 for determining the result of the normal figure display is a random value used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal figure game by the normal figure display 20 is a "normal figure win" or a "normal figure miss". For example, it takes a value in the range of "3" to "13".

[0198] The random value MR6 for initial value determination of MR is a random value used to determine the initial value of the random value MR5, and takes a value in the range of, for example, "3" to "13".

[0199] FIG. 8 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, a common display result determination table is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and individual display result determination tables may be used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

[0200] The display result determination table is a table referred to for determining whether to control the variable display result to a jackpot game state as a "jackpot" based on the random value MR1 for special symbol display result determination before the definite special symbol that becomes the variable display result is derived and displayed in a special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B.

[0201] In the display result determination table, the value (determination value) compared with the random value MR1 for special symbol display result determination is assigned to the special symbol display results of "jackpot" and "miss" according to whether the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is a normal state or a time-saving state (low probability state) or a probability variable state (high probability state).

[0202] In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value compared with the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination is the determination data assigned to the determination result of whether to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big win". In the display result determination table, when the game state is the probability variable state (high probability state), more determination values are assigned to the special figure display result of "big win" than when it is the normal state or the time shortening state (low probability state). As a result, compared with the probability that the pachinko game machine 1 determines to control the special figure display result as "big win" and enter the jackpot game state when it is in the time shortening state (low probability state) (about 1 / 300 in this embodiment), the probability of determining to control the special figure display result as "big win" and enter the jackpot game state becomes higher (about 1 / 30 in this embodiment). That is, in the display result determination table, when the game state of the pachinko game machine 1 is the probability variable state (high probability state), the determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether to control the jackpot game state so that the probability of determining to control the jackpot game state is higher than when it is in the normal state or the time shortening state.

[0203] FIG. 9(A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in this embodiment is a table referred to for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types based on the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big win". In the jackpot type determination table, according to whether the special symbol that has undergone variable display (fluctuating display) in the special figure game is the first special figure (special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special figure (special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (determination value) compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination is assigned to a plurality of jackpot types such as "jackpot A", "jackpot B", "jackpot C".

[0204] Here, the jackpot types in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9(B). In the present embodiment, as jackpot types, there are provided Jackpot A, Jackpot B, and Jackpot C in which time shortening control is executed for up to 100 variable displays at maximum after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Further, these Jackpot A, Jackpot B, and Jackpot C are also jackpots in which probability variation control is executed for up to 100 variable displays at maximum after the end of the jackpot gaming when a game ball wins a prize at the second large winning opening (so-called V winning) in the sixth round of the jackpot gaming state.

[0205] The jackpot gaming state by "Jackpot A" is a jackpot (a 6-round and non-V-winning-capable jackpot) gaming state in which the rounds that change the first large winning opening to an advantageous open state for the player are repeatedly executed 6 times from the first round to the sixth round. The jackpot gaming state by "Jackpot B" is a jackpot (a 6-round and V-winning-capable jackpot) gaming state in which the first large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player from the first round to the fifth round, while the second large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player in the sixth round. The jackpot gaming state by "Jackpot C" is a jackpot (a 10-round and V-winning-capable jackpot) gaming state in which the first large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player from the first round to the fifth round and from the seventh round to the tenth round, while the second large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player in the sixth round.

[0206] In the present embodiment, since at least time shortening control is executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state, when a jackpot occurs while the time shortening control is being executed, time shortening control (and probability variation control) is executed again after the end of the jackpot gaming state, resulting in a so-called consecutive winning state in which jackpot gaming states occur continuously without passing through the normal state.

[0207] Note that in the present embodiment, a form in which three types of Jackpot A to Jackpot C are provided as jackpot types is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and two or less types or four or more types of jackpot types may be provided.

[0208] Also, as shown in FIG. 9(A), in the jackpot type determination table, depending on whether the variable display special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the allocation of determination values for the jackpot types of "Jackpot A", "Jackpot B", and "Jackpot C" is different. That is, when the variable display special figure is the first special figure, the determination values within a predetermined range (values in the range of "0" to "49") are allocated to the jackpot types of "Jackpot A" and "Jackpot B" with fewer rounds, while when the variable display ...
