By surrounding the game board 13, the game board 13 is surrounded by a game ball. The play area is formed in front of the game board 13 and is surrounded by two rails 61 and 62 and a circle. The arc member 70 defines a substantially circular area (where the starting hole etc. is located and where the shot is fired) The game area is the area where the game balls that have passed through the return ball prevention member 68 flow down. This includes all areas through which the skill ball flows down before passing through the outlet 66 or the prize hole.

[0030] The two rails 61 and 62 are connected to the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 8). It is provided to guide the ball to the top of the game board 13. The tip part of the outer rail 62 ( 2) is provided with an operating winning hole 660 through which game balls can enter. The winning slot 660 is a jackpot state, which is advantageous for the player when a game ball enters the slot. (Special game state). In detail, the special symbol (first symbol) is drawn and the jackpot is decided. When it is determined that the ball is valid when it enters the operation winning hole 660 (a state where the ball is valid when it enters the operation winning hole 660). In addition, even if a game ball enters the operation winning hole 660 under normal circumstances, In the jackpot waiting state, if the player activates the game ball, By shooting the ball towards the prize hole 660, the game ball will enter the prize hole (win) and win the jackpot. As shown in FIG. 2, there is a A rotating member 670a that rotates at a constant rotation speed is provided. The game ball shot towards the operation winning hole 660 according to the rotation position is The rotating member 670a can be arranged to either prevent or not prevent the rotation of the rotating member 670a from moving in the direction of 0. If the game ball is not shot out at the timing where it is not obstructed by the It is not possible to get the ball into 660 (to start a jackpot). When a special symbol is selected as a big win, the game is played taking into consideration the arrangement of the rotating member 670a. Since the ball can be shot, the player's interest in the game can be increased. .

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the operating winning hole 660 is wider than one game ball and is wider than two game balls. The narrowest flow path (the flow path for the operational winning hole) is located at the end of the narrowest flow path. , a predetermined range of firing strengths including at least the maximum momentum (firing strength) (for example, firing strengths of 9 It is configured so that game balls launched at a speed (range of 5% to 100%) will reach (flow into) it. Therefore, if a special pattern is selected as a jackpot and the jackpot is in standby mode, When aiming at the operating winning slot 660, simply rotate the handle 51 to the maximum movable range. By simply pressing the button, the game ball can be easily placed into the operating winning hole 660.

[0032] A return rubber 69 is attached to the tip of the inner rail 61. For example, a game ball launched at a launch strength of 90% to 95% hits the return rubber 69. The force is reduced and the ball bounces back toward the center. Between the upper right end of the outer rail 62 and the upper right end of the outer rail 62, an arc is provided on the inner surface to connect the rails. The resin arc member 70 is fixed to the base plate 60 by being driven into the base plate 60.

[0033] In the present pachinko machine 10, the game balls enter either the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640. When the ball enters the normal entrance 67, a lottery for a special symbol (the first symbol) is held. If the ball is placed at the first entrance 64 or the second entrance 65, a lottery for the normal symbol (second symbol) will be held. In the lottery for special symbols that is held for balls that land on 640, the winner is determined to be a special symbol jackpot or not. If a special symbol is determined to be a jackpot, the type of jackpot will be determined. When a special symbol is hit, the pachinko machine 10 transitions to a special game state. At the same time, the specific winning port 65a, which is normally closed, is closed after a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). The balls are released until a certain number of balls are released, and the release is determined by the type of jackpot. As a result, a large number of games are played at the specific winning slot 65a. Since the balls will win, a larger number of prize balls will be paid out than usual. In addition, there are six types of "Big Hit A" to "Big Hit F", and special game state After the jackpot ends, the game value will be calculated according to the result of the jackpot game as an added value after the jackpot ends. The three types of "jackpots A to C" are awarded to the player when the game ball is When the ball enters the first entrance 64, a special design lottery will be held to determine the winner. The three types of "Jackpot D to F" are determined when the game ball is When the ball enters the second entrance 640, a special design lottery will be held to determine whether the ball will be a jackpot. In the following, for the sake of simplicity, the game ball will be The lottery for the special design that is executed when the ball enters the first entrance 64 is called the first special design. This is called a lottery of the design, and is executed when the game ball enters the second ball entrance 640. The lottery for the special symbol is called the lottery for the second special symbol.

[0034] When the special symbol (first symbol) is selected, the first symbol display device 37 displays the special symbol. The display will change and after a certain time (for example, 7 to 90 seconds) has passed, the lottery results will be displayed. A special symbol indicating the winning result is displayed in a static manner. A variable display is performed on the first symbol display device 37. If a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640 while the ball is in the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640, the number of times the game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640 is counted. The balls are reserved up to four times for each type of entrance, and the number of reserved balls is displayed on the first pattern display device. 37 and also displayed on the third symbol display device 81. When the variable display is finished at the station 37, the first entrance 64 or the second entrance 640 If there are any reserved balls remaining, the next special design will be drawn and the winner will be chosen. The display of the changes will begin.

[0035] On the other hand, in the lottery for the normal symbols that is conducted for the game ball passing through the normal entrance 67, A win or loss judgment is made as to whether or not the regular pattern is a hit. If the regular pattern is a hit, a predetermined time (e.g. For example, for 0.2 seconds or 1 second, the electric accessory 640a attached to the second ball entrance 640 is in the open position. By changing the position, the second ball entrance 640 is opened. Since the a is disposed in the closed position, the second ball inlet 640 is closed. The ball flowing down from above towards the second ball entrance 640 is blocked by the electric device 640a. This makes it impossible (difficult) for the ball to enter the second ball entrance 640. When the winning combination is achieved, the electric accessory 640a is opened, and the second ball entrance 640 The ball flowing down towards the second ball entry hole 640 becomes easier to enter, and as a result, the second special drawing This makes it easier to draw the patterns.

[0036] In addition, when the lottery for the normal symbol (second symbol) is performed, the normal symbol is displayed on the second symbol display device 83. The display of the changing symbols begins, and after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds or 30 seconds) has passed, The normal symbol indicating the lottery result is displayed in a static manner. The second symbol display device 83 displays a variable symbol. If a game ball passes through the normal ball entrance 67 while the ball is being held, the number of times it passes through will be reserved up to a maximum of four times. The number of reserved balls is displayed by the first symbol display device 37, and the second symbol reserved run is displayed. When the variable display is completed on the second symbol display device 83, If there are any reserved balls remaining for the normal ball entry slot 67, the next normal pattern will be drawn. Then, the display will begin to change according to the lottery.

[0037] As mentioned above, the types of special jackpots are "Jackpot A" to "Jackpot F". There are six types:

[0038] When "Jackpot A" is hit, the number of rounds becomes 8 rounds (8 round jackpot) On the other hand, if you get a "Big Hit B" or a "Big Hit C", the number of rounds will be 5 rounds. When the special game state of the round (5 round jackpot) is reached and it becomes "jackpot D", The number of rounds becomes 16 rounds of special game state (16 round jackpot), "Jackpot E", When "Jackpot F" occurs, the number of rounds becomes 10 rounds (10 round jackpot) Furthermore, there are "Big Win A", "Big Win B", "Big Win D", "Big Win E" If it becomes ", after the big win ends, it will transition to a high probability state of special symbols (special symbol probability change) In addition, when a high probability state of a special symbol is granted, the probability of winning a normal symbol also increases. (The time-saving state of the normal pattern is given). The high probability state of the special pattern and the normal pattern The time-saving state continues from the end of the jackpot until the next jackpot. " or "Big Win F", after the big win ends, a time-saving state of the normal pattern will be granted. However, the high probability state of the special pattern is not granted. After the end of "F", the time-saving state of the normal pattern is granted, and the lottery for the special pattern is executed 100 times. The process ends with the following.

[0039] Here, "high probability state of special symbols" means a state in which the probability of winning a special symbol is increased, This refers to the so-called "high probability state of special symbols" (probability state of special symbols), in other words, the special game It is a game state where it is easy to transition to a special state (jackpot). When the game is not in a "low probability state of special symbols," it is called a "low probability state of special symbols," and this is more likely to occur than in a special symbol state. The probability of winning is low, that is, the probability of winning a special symbol is normal (low probability of special symbol Also, "normal pattern time-saving state" (normal pattern high probability state) means, The probability of winning a normal symbol increases, and the game ball is more likely to enter the second ball entrance 640. On the other hand, when it is not in the "normal pattern time-saving state", it is called the "normal pattern normal state" ( Low probability state of normal symbols), which means that the probability of winning a normal symbol is normal, that is, time reduction Indicates a state where the probability of winning is lower than medium.

[0040] As described above, in the case of the special symbol jackpot in this embodiment, depending on the type of jackpot, The number of rounds at the time of the jackpot varies depending on the type of jackpot. The number of rounds may be the same (for example, all 5 rounds). The "special pattern probability state" granted after the win will continue until the next jackpot. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the period during which the "special symbol probability change state" continues is The number of times the special symbol is drawn is limited to a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). In this case, the number of draws that will result in the "special symbol probability change state" and the number of draws that will result in the "normal symbol probability change state" will be The number of times the symbol is drawn may be different depending on the type of jackpot. The number of lottery draws may be variable.

[0041] In this pachinko machine 10, when the initial setting is performed by turning on the power, etc., the "special figure" is always The "low probability state of the pattern" and the "normal state of the normal pattern" are set. "," "Jackpot B," "Jackpot D," or "Jackpot E," The game transitions from a "low probability state of the pattern" to a "probable state of the special pattern" and then to a "normal state of the normal pattern." In this case, the set "special symbol probability change state" will be The "normal pattern time-saving state" and the "normal pattern time-saving state" will continue until the next jackpot. If you get "Big Win C" or "Big Win F", you will enter a "low probability state of special symbols" and a "normal symbol" For the sake of simplicity, after the big win, the "special pattern" A jackpot that gives you a "probable state" and a "normal pattern time-saving state" ("jackpot A", "big The winning numbers (Hit B, Jackpot D, and Jackpot E) are called "Probable Jackpots." On the other hand, after the jackpot ends, only 100 "normal pattern time-saving states" are granted. ("Jackpot C" and "Jackpot F") are referred to as "normal jackpots."

[0042] At the lower left side of the game board 13 as viewed from the front (lower left side of FIG. 2), a plurality of light-emitting diodes are provided. LED (hereinafter abbreviated as "LED") 37a and 7-segment display 37b are provided. The first symbol display device 37 is provided. The first symbol display device 37 is a main control device (described later). The display is made according to each control performed by 110, and is mainly used for playing the pachinko machine 10. The LEDs 37a indicate the state of the ball entering the first ball entrance 64 (starting winning). By indicating whether or not the accompanying special symbol lottery is being held by the lighting state. The display will change, and after the change ends, the special symbol will be displayed as a stopping symbol according to the results of the lottery. A different pattern (first pattern) is displayed by lighting up, or the first entrance 64 or the second entrance 64 The number of reserved balls, which is the number of game balls (reserved balls) that have not yet been changed among the game balls that have been entered into 0, is This is indicated by the lighting state.

[0043] While the first symbol display device 37 is displaying a variable special symbol (first symbol), When a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640, the number of times the game ball enters is The number of reserved balls is displayed by the first symbol display device 37. It is also displayed on the symbol display device 81. In this embodiment, the first ball entrance 64, and the second entrance 640 are each configured to be held back up to four times. The maximum number of times of reservation is not limited to four, but may be three or less, or five or more times (for example, For example, you can set it to 8 times.

[0044] The 7-segment display 37b displays the number of rounds during a jackpot and any errors. In addition, the LEDs 37a are designed so that each LED emits a different color (for example, red, green, or blue). The combination of light-emitting colors allows various games to be played on the pachinko machine 10 using a small number of LEDs. It can display the status (such as a high probability state of a special pattern or a time-saving state of a normal pattern). , LED37a shows that the special pattern will be the stopping pattern after the change ends and the lottery result will be a jackpot. Not only will it tell you whether you have won or not, but if you have won, it will also tell you the type of jackpot (jackpot A to F) A special pattern (first pattern) corresponding to the number will be displayed.

[0045] In addition, when a game ball wins in the game area, 5 to 15 game balls will be awarded as prize balls. In addition, in the center of the gaming area, there are a number of general winning holes 63 from which prizes are paid out. The variable display unit 80 is provided with a liquid crystal display. A third pattern display device 81 is configured by a display (hereinafter simply referred to as "display device"). The variable display unit 83 is provided with a second symbol display device 83. 80, a center frame 86 is arranged so as to surround the outer periphery of the third pattern display device 81. It has been done.

[0046] The third pattern display device 81 displays decorative images according to the display of the first pattern display device 37. For example, when a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640 (starting winning), ), this triggers the first symbol display device 37 to display the special symbol (first symbol). Furthermore, in the third symbol display device 81, the variable display of the special symbol is executed. Then, a third pattern corresponding to the special pattern is displayed in a variable manner.

[0047] The third pattern display device 81 is composed of a large 8-inch liquid crystal display. The display control device 114 (to be described later) controls the display contents, so that, for example, Three symbol rows are displayed: left, center, and right. Each symbol row consists of multiple symbols. These symbols are vertically scrolled for each symbol row on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the pattern is displayed variably under the control of the main control device 110. The game status is displayed on the first symbol display device 37, while the third symbol display device 81 A decorative display corresponding to the display of the first pattern display device 37 is performed. Alternatively, for example, the third symbol display device 81 may be configured using a reel or the like.

[0048] Here, the display contents of the third symbol display device 81 will be described with reference to FIG. 6(a) is a diagram for explaining the display screen of the third pattern display device 81. 6(b) is a diagram showing the area division setting and the effective line setting of the surface. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen.

[0049] The third design consists of nine main designs numbered "1" to "9." Each main design is made up of numbers from "1" to "9". Each main design is made up of numbers from a wooden box. The numbers "1" to "9" are written on the rear pattern, and the odd numbers (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 The main design, numbered 5, 7, 9), has large numbers added to it that almost fill the entire front of the wooden box. In contrast, the main designs with even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) almost fill the entire front of the wooden box. It comes with additional designs that resemble characters such as furoshiki, helmets, etc. The even numbers are added in small green letters on the bottom right and are displayed in front of the accompanying image. are.

[0050] In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the main control device 110 (see FIG. 8) described later ) If the result of the special symbol lottery is a jackpot, the same main symbol will be drawn. A dynamic display is performed, and a big win occurs after the variable display ends. On the other hand, if the special pattern lottery result is a miss, a variable display will be displayed in which the same main pattern does not line up. It can be done.

[0051] For example, if the result of the special pattern lottery is a jackpot ("Jackpot A", "Jackpot B", "Jackpot B" If the winning number is either "Hit D" or "Big Win E", one of the numbers "1" to "9" will be added. A variable display will be performed in which the selected main pattern is aligned. Also, a normal jackpot ("Jackpot C" or " If it is a jackpot F), the main pattern with the even numbers "0, 2, 4, 6, 8" is The display will be a fluctuating display. That is, the main display will be the odd numbers "1, 3, 5, 7, 9" The variable display where the symbols line up can only be performed in the event of a special jackpot. Even in this case, there is a possibility that a variable display in which the main patterns with even numbers are aligned will be displayed. Therefore, even if the main symbols with even numbers are lined up, it is a guaranteed jackpot. On the other hand, if the result of the special symbol lottery is a miss, If there is a chance, the main pattern of the same number will not be displayed. The probability of a variable display in which even-numbered main symbols are aligned is set to, for example, 60%. In addition, when the main symbols with even numbers line up, a chance jackpot begins. If so, during a specified period of the jackpot (for example, during a 5-round period) Then, an effect is executed to notify the player that a special jackpot has been achieved.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 6(a), the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 is roughly divided into two parts, upper and lower. The lower 2 / 3 is the main display area Dm that displays the third symbol in a variable manner, and the other upper 1 / 3 This is the secondary display area Ds, which displays preview effects, characters, the number of reserved balls, etc.

[0053] The main display area Dm is divided into three display areas Dm1 to Dm3: left, center, and right. The three display areas Dm1 to Dm3 each display three symbol rows Z1, Z2, and Z3. In each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the third symbols described above are displayed in a specified order. In the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the main symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order of numbers, and for each symbol row Z1 to Z3 The display scrolls from top to bottom periodically. In particular, the left pattern column Z1 In the figure, the numbers of the main pattern are arranged in descending order, and the middle pattern column Z2 and the right pattern column Z3 In the game, the numbers of the main symbols are arranged in ascending order.

[0054] In addition, in the main display area Dm, the third pattern is displayed in three rows, top, middle, and bottom, for each of the pattern rows Z1 to Z3. The middle part of this main display area Dm is set as the active line L1, and When performing the technique, the first symbols are placed on the valid line L1 in the order of left symbol row Z1 → right symbol row Z3 → center symbol row Z2. The three symbols are displayed as stopped symbols. This stopped display state is maintained for at least one second. By displaying the third symbol for a certain period of time (1 second or more), the player can predict the big win. Whether the combination of the third symbol is a winning combination (whether the result of the special symbol lottery is a jackpot or not) It is possible to prevent overlooking. Also, when the third symbol stops, the effective line L If the combination of jackpot symbols (in this embodiment, the combination of the same main symbols) is aligned on the jackpot, the jackpot will be awarded. The winning combination is confirmed, and a standby state effect is displayed to indicate the jackpot waiting state. Details will be described later with reference to Figure 7. In addition, during the jackpot waiting state, the game ball is operated. By making the ball enter the winning slot 660 (winning), a jackpot is started, and a jackpot video ( The opening performance will be displayed.

[0055] In addition, the combination of the third symbols displayed is a combination corresponding to a miss, If there is a ball remaining, after a one-second pause, a variable display corresponding to the lottery based on the reserved ball will appear. If there are multiple reserved balls, the oldest ball will be the one that is placed in the queue. A lottery is performed based on the reserved balls.

[0056] On the other hand, when there are no reserved balls, the third symbol in the combination corresponding to the special symbol is If the symbol is displayed for one second, the third symbol will continue to be displayed. The state is changed when a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) has elapsed or when a new ball is inserted into the first ball inlet 64. It continues until the next game ball enters the reel. Then, after the third symbol is displayed, a predetermined time ( For example, if 15 seconds has passed, a demo effect will be displayed indicating that the game is not being played. Even if the player shoots the ball continuously for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), It is rare that the ball does not enter the first entrance 64, and the third symbol is stopped and displayed. In most cases where the state continues for a certain period of time (for example, 15 seconds), it is because the player has stopped playing. This is because no games have been played on the pachinko machine 10. In the pachinko machine 10, after a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) has passed since the third symbol was stopped and displayed, When the time has passed, it is determined that the player is not playing, and a demo effect is started. When a player is about to select a pachinko machine 10 to start playing, the demo effect is displayed. It is easy to determine whether a game is being played or not based on the presence or absence of the display. If a new game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 before a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) has elapsed, If this happens, the third symbol corresponding to the new ball will be displayed in a variable manner.

[0057] The sub-display area Ds is provided horizontally above the main display area Dm. The area is divided into three equal small areas Ds1 to Ds3. The game balls that have entered the ball entrance 64 and the second ball entrance 640 and have not yet been changed The area that displays the number of reserved balls is the number of balls (reserved balls). The small areas Ds2 and Ds3 are This is the area where preview images are displayed.

[0058] On the actual display screen, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the main display area Dm displays the main symbol of the third symbol. A total of nine are displayed. In the sub-display area Ds, a video is displayed in the small area Ds3 on the right, This indicates to the player that the transition to a jackpot is easier than usual. In 2, a predetermined character 710 (in this embodiment, a boy wearing a headband) is usually Sometimes it will perform a special action other than the predetermined action, or another character will appear. A preview performance will be held in the following manner.

[0059] On the other hand, while the third pattern display device 81 (first pattern display device 37) is displaying a variable When a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 or the second ball entrance 640, the number of times the game ball enters is Each type of ball can be reserved up to four times, and the number of reserved balls is displayed on the first symbol display device 37. and also in a small area Ds1 of the sub-display area Ds. 1 displays one reserved ball number pattern for each reserved ball, and the number of reserved ball number patterns displayed The number of reserved balls is displayed according to the number of reserved balls. In other words, one reserved ball number pattern is displayed in the small area Ds1. If the symbol is displayed, it indicates that there is one ball in reserve, and four reserved ball number symbols are displayed. In this case, it indicates that the number of reserved balls is 4. Also, the reserved ball number symbol is displayed in the small area Ds1. If it is not, the number of reserved balls is 0, that is, it indicates that there are no reserved balls. The left half of the small area Ds1 is a reserved ball count based on the number of balls that have entered the first ball entrance 64. The right half of the small area Ds2 displays the number of balls remaining in play based on the number of balls entering the second entrance 640. In the example of Figure 6(b), the number of reserved balls is displayed. The left half of the area Ds1 displays four reserved ball number patterns, while the right half displays the reserved ball number pattern. Since no patterns are displayed, there are four reserved balls for the first special pattern, but there are no reserved balls for the second special pattern. This indicates that there are 0 balls reserved for the pattern.

[0060] In this embodiment, the balls entering the first ball entrance 64 and the second ball entrance 640 are as follows: Each ball can be reserved up to four times, but the maximum number of reserved balls is limited to four. Instead, the number of times may be set to three or less, or five or more (for example, eight times). Instead of displaying the reserved ball number pattern in the small area Ds1, the reserved ball number is displayed on the third pattern display device 81. Partially numbered, or the four divided areas are divided into different modes (for example, color) depending on the number of reserved balls. The first symbol display device 37 may be configured to display the symbol in a different pattern. Since the number of reserved balls is displayed, it is possible to display the number of reserved balls on the third pattern display device 81. Furthermore, the variable display unit 80 has a reserved lamp that indicates the number of reserved balls, and the lamp is set to the maximum reserved number. It is also possible to provide four lamps and display the number of reserved balls according to the number of reserved lamps that are lit.

[0061] The second symbol display device 83 is a normal symbol display device that is performed when a game ball passes through the normal ball entrance 67. The display changes by indicating whether the lottery for the common pattern is being executed or not by the lighting state. After the variation ends, the normal pattern (second pattern) will be displayed according to the lottery results of the normal pattern. ) is indicated by its lighting state.

[0062] More specifically, in the second symbol display device 83, the game ball is inserted into either the left or right normal ball entrance 67. Each time you pass through, the regular pattern (second pattern) will alternate between a "○" pattern and an "×" pattern. The pachinko machine 10 performs a variable display by lighting up the second symbol display device 83. When the display stops at a predetermined pattern (in this embodiment, the "circle" pattern), the second ball entrance 640 The electric accessory 640a attached to the is activated (released) for a predetermined time, and as a result, The second ball entrance 640 is configured to be in a state where game balls can easily enter. The number of times that the balls have passed through the ball hole 67 is reserved up to four times, and the number of reserved balls is the first pattern mentioned above. The display device 37 displays the symbol and the second symbol reserved lamp 84 also lights up. The second symbol reservation lamp 84 is provided with four lamps, the maximum number of reserved symbols, and is located below the third symbol display device 81. They are arranged symmetrically on both sides.

[0063] In addition, the variable display of the normal symbol (second symbol) is performed by the second symbol display device 8 as in this embodiment. In addition to the one in 3, which is done by switching on and off multiple lamps, the first pattern It may be possible to perform this by using a part of the display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81. The second symbol reservation lamp 84 may be turned on by a part of the third symbol display device 81. In addition, the passage of the game balls through the normal ball entrance 67 is the same as that through the first ball entrance 64 and the second ball entrance 640. Similarly, the maximum number of reserved balls is not limited to four times, but may be three or less, or five or more times. (For example, 8 times) may be set. Also, the number of reserved balls is displayed by the first symbol display device 37. Therefore, the second symbol reservation lamp 84 may not be lit.

[0064] A first ball entrance 64 through which the game ball can enter is disposed below the variable display unit 80. When a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64, the first The first ball inlet switch (not shown) is turned on, and the first ball inlet switch is turned on. The control device 110 draws the first special symbol, and the display according to the drawing result is the first symbol table. The LED 37a of the display device 37 indicates this. Also, the first ball entrance 64 is opened when the game ball enters. This first ball entrance 64 is also one of the winning holes from which prize balls are paid out. The game ball that flows down the flow path on the left side of the change display unit 80 (the game ball that is hit from the left) Compared to the game ball that flows down the flow path on the right side of the variable display unit 80 (the game ball that is hit to the right), Nails and other objects are placed to make it easier to score a goal.

[0065] On the lower right side of the variable display unit 80 as viewed from the front, there is a second ball entrance 640 through which the game ball can enter. When a game ball enters this second ball entrance 640, a ball is inserted into the second entrance 640. A second ball entrance switch (not shown) is turned on, and the second ball entrance switch is turned on. The main control device 110 draws the second special symbol, and the display according to the drawing result is is displayed by the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37. Also, the second ball entrance 640 is It is also one of the winning slots from which five prize balls are paid out when the ball lands. The second ball entrance 640 is provided on the right side of the game board 13, so basically, Only game balls that flow down the flow path provided to the right of the unit 80 will enter the ball hole.

[0066] The right variable winning device 65 is disposed in the lower left direction of the second ball entrance 640 when viewed from the front. A right specific winning opening 65a having a horizontally long rectangular shape is provided in the approximate center portion. A left variable winning device 650 is disposed in the lower left direction of the left variable winning device 65 as viewed from the front. The device 650 has a horizontally long rectangular opening and closing plate that covers the left specific winning opening 650a, and a shaft that connects the bottom side of the opening and closing plate. The large opening solenoid (not shown) is provided on the front side as a driving force for opening and closing the opening. The closing plate is normally in a closed state where the game ball cannot enter the winning position. Since the opening and closing plate and the game board 13 are closed so that they are on the same plane, the game balls are The front side can be passed through. Also, by tilting the opening and closing plate downwards, the game ball can be passed through the left specific entrance. The prize opening 650a is temporarily opened to make it easier to win a prize. When the special symbol lottery performed by the control device 110 is a big win, a predetermined time (variable time) After the lapse of time, the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37 is turned on to become the stop symbol of the jackpot. At the same time, the third symbol display device 81 displays the third symbol stop symbol corresponding to the big win. This will show that you have won the jackpot (you have earned the right to win the jackpot). In the jackpot waiting state that is entered when the winning is confirmed, the game ball is directed to the operation winning hole 660. By putting the ball in, the game enters a special game state in which a larger number of prize balls than usual are paid out. In this special game state, the right specific winning hole 65a, which is normally closed, The left specific winning port 650a is not in operation for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have elapsed, or until the end of the game) The right specific winning hole 65a is normally closed. The door 65f1 that is currently open will be opened when the first round of the jackpot (special game state) is reached. The ball can enter the right specific winning hole 65a. Each time a ball lands, 10 prize balls are awarded. In addition, 2 rounds of the jackpot (special game state) In each round after the first round, the left specific winning hole 650a is opened and the ball can enter. The winning hole 650a, like the right specific winning hole 65a, also wins 10 prizes for each game ball that enters it. A ball is given.

[0067] In addition, the right specific winning hole 65a, the left specific winning hole 650a, and the second winning hole 640 described above The game ball (the game ball hit to the right) flowing down the flow path on the right side of the variable display unit 80 It is placed in a position where it is possible to score a ball (easy to score a ball). The ball is placed in a position where it is impossible (difficult to score) for the ball to flow down the left side of the flow path of the gate 80. Therefore, in order for a player to receive a prize ball (earn a profit) during a jackpot, 2, the right variable winning device 65 is The door 65f1 is disposed in a state of being slightly inclined downward to the lower left. When the player hits the ball from the right side with the right variable winning device 65 closed, the ball reaches the top surface of the right variable winning device 65. When the ball reaches the right variable winning device 65, the ball is guided downwards to the left as viewed from the front along the inclination of the right variable winning device 65. The ball can be made to flow down and enter the out hole 66. Prevents the ball from staying on the top of the right variable winning device 65 (the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1). As shown in FIG. 2, the left variable winning device 650 can be controlled by the right variable Since it is disposed at the bottom left of the winning device 65, when the left specific winning port 650a is open, In the figure, the game ball that flows down along the slope of the right variable winning device 65 to the lower left direction as viewed from the front is entered into the left specific winning The ball will enter prize slot 650a.

[0068] In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, each round of the jackpot ends (opens The right specific winning opening 65a or the left specific winning opening 650a is closed again under the condition It varies depending on the winning round (the type of specific winning slot that is opened). In the first round (the round in which the right specific winning port 65a is opened), the opening and closing door 65f1 is opened. 30 seconds have passed since the ball was placed in the right specific winning slot 65a, or two or more game balls have entered the right specific winning slot 65a. If the ball goes in, the door 65f1 closes and the first round ends. Each round from the second round onwards (round in which the left specific winning slot 650a is opened) In this case, 30 seconds have passed since the left specific winning port 650a was opened, or When 0 or more game balls enter the left specific winning opening 650a, the left specific winning opening 650a is closed. The round ends with a chain.

[0069] In addition, in the right variable winning device 65, the entry of the game ball into the right specific winning hole 65a is detected. The sensor for detecting the right specific winning is provided inside the right variable winning device 65. There is a time lag between when the game ball enters the slot 65a and when the ball is detected. More specifically, the number of balls that actually enter the right specific winning hole 65a is It takes about 0.5 seconds for the count to occur, meaning the end of the round is met. From the time the game balls that make up the number of balls enter the right specific winning opening 65a until the opening and closing door 65f1 is closed It takes about 0.5 seconds for the ball to enter the hole. Therefore, it is not possible to enter an additional ball during this 0.5 second period. If you can do this, you will get more prizes than usual (when only the number of prizes that meet the end limit of the round) In the first embodiment, the player can win many prize balls. In the round in which a is released, the number of balls equal to or greater than the end condition of the round is used. The player can intentionally place the ball into the right specific winning hole 65a. For the sake of simplicity, the maximum number of winning balls (number of balls entered) in each round is not exceeded. When a certain number of game balls enter the specific winning hole 65a, this is called an "over-winning". do.

[0070] Details will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In the first embodiment, - To make it easier to win, the game ball reaches the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1, and then the opening and closing door 65f2 is opened. The upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 is configured so that the period until the object passes through the upper surface of the door 65f1 is long. By configuring it in this way, the game balls flow down the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. During this time, it becomes easier to add multiple game balls and have them reach the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. In the winning waiting state, more game balls are flowing down the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. By doing so, the game ball is put into the operation winning hole 660 to start the big win (opening door 65 By opening the door 65f1, all the game balls flowing down the top of the door 65f1 are released. As mentioned above, the ball can be placed in the right specific winning hole 65a. In the second round, the game ends when two or more winning balls (balls) are detected in the specific winning hole 65a. However, if three or more game balls reach the top of the opening and closing door 65f1 before the start of the jackpot, If you can start the first round of the jackpot with three or more balls in the right position, By making the ball enter the specific winning hole 65a, more balls than the normal amount (for two winning balls) can be received. Therefore, the timing for putting the game ball into the operation winning hole 660 is timing, which affects the number of balls a player can win in the first round of a jackpot. It is possible to provide a game that is more enjoyable during the waiting state for a big win. In addition, during the jackpot waiting state, the game ball can be made to reach the opening and closing door 65f1. In this case, the game ball does not enter the operational winning hole 660 (the game ball does not enter the operational winning hole flow path (see FIG. 2) Just hit with your right hand at a firing strength (less than 95%) that will prevent the ball from flowing in.

[0071] Next, the structure of the upper surface of the opening / closing door 65f1 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 4(a) is a front view of the variable winning device 65 in a state where the opening and closing door 65f1 is closed. 4(b) is a perspective view of the variable winning device 65 in a state where the opening and closing door 65f1 is open. 5 is a front perspective view of the

[0072] As shown in FIG. 4(a), the upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 has a hole for preventing the balls from flowing down. The upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 is provided with protrusions 65f1a to 65f1c. The descending game ball is prevented from flowing down by each of the convex portions 65f1a to 65f1c. The water flows down over the opening and closing door 65f1 along the outer periphery of the opening and closing door 65f1a to 65f1c. On f1, a meandering flow path is formed by the respective convex portions 65f1a to 65f1c. Therefore, when the protrusions 65f1a to 65f1c are not provided (i.e., when the free (When the ball can flow in a straight line from right to left when viewed from the front) This makes it possible to lengthen the time required for the liquid to completely flow down the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. As a result, while one game ball is flowing down the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1, multiple game balls are added. Therefore, in the jackpot waiting state, it becomes easier for the ball to reach the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. At the timing when a large number of game balls are flowing down the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1, the operation winning opening 660 By putting a game ball into the opening door 65f1, a jackpot is started (opening the opening door 65f1). This allows more game balls to over-enter the prize.

[0073] FIG. 4(b) is a diagram showing a state in which the opening and closing door 65f1 is open. As shown in the figure, the opening and closing door 65f1 slides from the front side as seen from the front to the back side as seen from the front. The balls are stored inside the game board 13 through an opening provided in the board 13. When the right specific winning hole 65a is opened, the right variable A gaming ball flowing down from the right direction of the winning device 65 can enter the right specific winning opening 65a. In addition, the height of the opening for storing the opening and closing door 65f1 is sufficiently low compared to the diameter of the game ball. Therefore, when the sliding movement of the opening and closing door 65f1 starts, the water flows down the upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. The opening and closing door 65f1 is provided to prevent the game balls that were in the opening and closing door 65f1 from being stored inside the game board 13. Therefore, when the opening and closing door 65f1 slides into the inside of the game board 13, The game balls on the top surface of the closing door 65f1 can be dropped into the specific winning opening 65a. .

[0074] In the first embodiment, the time required for one game ball to pass through the opening and closing door 65f1 is The period is set to about 4 seconds. The interval between firing one ball and the next is set to a minimum of 0.6 seconds. As a result, while one game ball is flowing down the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1, about six additional game balls are released. Therefore, when waiting for a big win, it is possible to shoot around seven game balls. After continuously firing the balls toward the variable winning device 65, the game balls are placed in the operation winning hole 660. By doing so, about seven game balls will flow down the top of the opening and closing door 65f1, and one round will be played. That is, the opening and closing door 65f1 is opened and the opening and closing door 65f1 is opened. All the game balls flowing down the screen can be made to enter the specific winning hole 65a. You can win more prize balls than the previous one (for two winning balls), so it's a big win. In the standby state, when more game balls reach the opening and closing door 65f1, the operation winning opening 6 The player can devise a way to get the ball into the hole 60. This can increase the interest in the game during the waiting state. In the standby state, the game ball flows down the opening and closing door 65f1 and then enters the operation winning port 660. A game feature that allows players to intentionally create over-winnings by making the balls enter the jackpot. can provide.

[0075] In the first embodiment, the upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 has three protrusions 65f1a to 65f1b. By providing the protrusions 65f1a to 65f1c, the game ball is configured to detour around the protrusions 65f1a to 65f1c. The ball was configured to pass through the opening and closing door 65f1 for a longer period of time, but this was not limited to this. For example, instead of or in addition to providing the protrusions 65f1a to 65f1c, The material of the upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 is the same as that of other parts (the surface of the game board 13 and the variable winning device 65). The material has a higher coefficient of friction than the inner surface (for example, an elastic body), or the balls roll The surface may be processed to make it less susceptible to such damage (for example, by providing irregularities on the surface).

[0076] In the first embodiment, when 30 seconds have passed since the start of one round or when 30 seconds have passed, If two or more game balls enter the specific winning hole 65a before the lapse of seconds, the first round In other words, if you hit the right button, you will almost certainly reach the upper limit (2 The end condition is set so that the first round ends when the game balls of the number 10 ... However, this is not limited to this. For example, after the first round starts, Even if you hit the ball to the right aiming at the specific winning hole 65a, it is difficult to get the ball into the hole. Specifically, for example, the first round may be started in the following period: 0.5 seconds have passed since the start of the game, or 10 or more game balls have been thrown before 0.5 seconds have passed. The first round may be ended when a specific winning slot 65a is won. When configured as above, the opening and closing door 65f1 opens at the timing when the game ball enters the operation winning opening 660. If no game balls are passing through the upper surface, no game balls can be allowed to enter the right specific winning hole 65a. This provides a gameplay that increases the likelihood that the first round will end without any problems. Therefore, for players who want to win prize balls in the first round, In this state, before the game ball is put into the operation winning opening 660, the game ball is put into the opening and closing door 65f1. After shooting the ball, the player can enjoy the gameplay of aiming at the activated winning slot 660. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the game while waiting for a big win. do.

[0077] 5 is a top view of the opening and closing door 65f1 as seen from the vertical upper surface side. On the upper surface of the door 65f1, the game ball is placed in a zigzag path that allows the game ball to roll (easily). Passage detection sensors 228a to 228f that can detect passage are embedded. The detection sensors 228a to 228f are arranged along a path formed on the top surface of the opening / closing door 65f1. These passage detection devices are arranged at a distance greater than the diameter of the game ball. The output sensors 228a to 228f output H (high) when a game ball is placed above them. When there is nothing obstructing the upper part, the output becomes L (low). In the first embodiment, these passage detection sensors 228a to 228f The combination of the outputs is monitored on the voice and lamp control device 113 side. During the jackpot waiting state, depending on the combination of outputs of the passage detection sensors 228a to 228f, The upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 is configured to be able to perform a performance that suggests an estimate of the number of game balls flowing down. That is, it indicates the degree of advantage when the game ball enters the operation winning hole 660. This allows more game balls to open and close depending on the performance. At the timing when it is indicated that the ball is flowing down the door 65f1, the game ball is sent to the operation winning hole 660. By making the balls enter the net, it is easier to make a larger number of game balls enter the net. Therefore, players can aim for an over-win more easily. Details of the standby state effects executed during the standby state will be described with reference to FIG.

[0078] 7(a) and (b) show the display state during the standby state effect executed in the jackpot standby state. As shown in FIG. 7(a), when the jackpot waiting state is reached, the third symbol table On the upper side of the display screen of the display device 81 as viewed from the front, the words "Jackpot Confirmed!" are displayed. The display area HR1 is formed. The display content of this display area HR1 tells the player It is easy to recognize that the jackpot has been confirmed (the player has acquired the right to win the jackpot). In addition, below the display area HR1, the variable display operation that was being performed before the jackpot standby state was entered. The final stop symbol combination (final stop symbol) By keeping the final stop symbol displayed during the jackpot waiting state, The player can decide at any time whether the jackpot is a probability jackpot or a normal jackpot. can be easily verified.

[0079] On the right side of the final stop pattern when viewed from the front, there is a vertically long area divided into six small areas. The Chance Meter CM is displayed. Each area that makes up this Chance Meter CM is configured to be changeable between a light-off appearance and a light-emitting appearance. The number of small areas that appear to be lit determines the number of game balls that can be placed in the winning slot 660. The structure suggests the degree of advantage when the ball is placed in the goal. More specifically, the number of small areas is Among the passage detection sensors 228a to 228f, the number of sensors whose output is H (high) Depending on the number, the appearance (lighting state) is set to light up in order (priority) from the small area on the bottom. In other words, the appearance of the light emitted from the chance meter CM (lighting state) ) the number of game balls passing through the upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 is at least the same as the number of small areas. (When the opening and closing door 65f1 is opened, the ball can be entered into the right specific winning hole 65a.) For the sake of simplicity, we will focus on the chance meter CMs that emit light. The small areas that appear to be illuminated are called "gauges," and the number of small areas that appear to be illuminated is called "gauges." This is called the "gauge number," and when a small area changes appearance and glows, it is called "gauge accumulation." We will call it this.

[0080] Below the final stop pattern, the words "Aim for 'GO!' to charge the meter!!" The message read, "Get the timing right and aim for the top right!!" and instructed me to aim for the active winning slot 660. A display area HR2 is formed in which an image suggesting the same is displayed. Therefore, players are directed to enter the normal entrance (through gate) 67( (See Figure 2) and the chance meter displayed on the right side of the display screen when viewed from the front -It is easy to understand that the gauge number of CM can be increased. As mentioned above, the chance meter CM is disposed on the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. The number of gauges is changed in conjunction with the detection contents of the passage detection sensors 228a to 228f. The game ball is launched with a launch strength (launch speed) that will allow it to enter the normal ball entrance (through gate) 67. By doing so, the game balls can reach the variable winning device 65 disposed downstream. Therefore, it is possible to face the direction where the normal entrance (through gate) 67 is located. By successively shooting the game balls, the game balls are also shot onto the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 of the variable winning device 65. In this state, the winning hole 6 is operated according to the display contents of the display area HR2. By aiming for 60 (i.e., at 95% to 100% launch strength), The winning starts and the door 65f1 is opened. The game ball can be made to win (enter) almost to the right specific winning hole 65a. On the left side of the front view of the operation winning port 660, there is a rotating movement that rotates at a constant rotation speed. The rotating member 670a is provided with an operating member 670b, which operates in accordance with its rotational position. Since it may prevent the game ball from entering the winning hole 660, The firing timing takes into account not only the gauge number of the target CM but also the rotation position of the rotating member 670a. Therefore, in the game of the player in the jackpot waiting state, This can further increase interest in the product.

[0081] Figure 7(b) shows the state where the chance meter CM gauge is filled to three points. As shown in FIG. 7(b), the three passage detection sensors 228c to 228e When a game ball is passing through the side, the output of these three sensors becomes H (high). The voice and lamp control device 113 detects the number of sensors that are in the H output state and determines the chance of In the example of FIG. 7(b), three sensors (passage detection sensors Since the output of 228c~228e) is H, the gauge of the chance meter CM is 3 In this way, the game balls passing through the top surface of the opening and closing door 65f1 are displayed in a state where they have accumulated. The number of balls is detected by the passage detection sensors 228a to 228f, and depending on the detection result, the passage The number of game balls inside is displayed as a gauge number on the chance meter CM. This makes it easier for players to understand when to aim at the activated winning slot 660. Therefore, even players who have little experience playing pachinko machines 10 can easily operate the machine. This makes it easier for the player to intuitively understand the timing to aim at the winning slot 660. Therefore, even players who are playing for the first time can easily play pachinko. The availability of the machine 10 can be improved.

[0082] In the first embodiment, in the jackpot waiting state, the ball passes through the upper surface of the opening and closing door 65f1. The number of balls in the game is indicated by the gauge number on the chance meter CM. It was designed to suggest the degree of advantage when the game ball enters the dynamic winning slot 660, This is not limited to this. For example, the chance meter CM gauge number determines whether or not you will win the jackpot. Specifically, for example, a chance meter CM may be used. The number of gauges indicates the type of big win, and the game ball is placed in the operation winning hole 660. The degree of advantage that can be expected if the ball is placed in the winning position may be indicated to the player. The number of rounds of the jackpot is indefinite at the time of confirmation, and the number of rounds of the jackpot is indefinite. The number of rounds for the jackpot may be determined by lottery when the number reaches 60. Depending on the number of gauges, a lottery is held when a game ball enters the operation winning hole 660. By suggesting the number of rounds to be determined, when the game ball enters the operation winning hole 660, The degree of advantage may be indicated to the player.

[0083] Returning to FIG. 2, the explanation continues. A certificate stamp, an identification label, etc. are attached to the lower right corner of the game board 13. The attachment space K1 is provided for attaching the certificate. Paper and the like can be seen through a small window 35 in the front frame 14 (see FIG. 1).

The RAM erase switch 122 (see FIG. 3) is operated to erase the RAM when the pachinko machine 10 is first started. This is operated when the power is turned on to return to the initial state.

[0091] <Regarding the electrical configuration in the first embodiment> Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the penis machine 10. FIG.

[0092] The main control unit 110 is equipped with an MPU 201, which is a one-chip microcomputer that is a calculation unit. The MPU 201 stores various control programs that are executed by the MPU 201. ROM 202 that stores data such as fixed values, and a control program stored in the ROM 202. RAM 203 is a memory for temporarily storing various data when the RAM is executed. In addition, various circuits such as interrupt circuits, timer circuits, and data transmission / reception circuits are built in. In addition, for the sub-controllers such as the dispensing control device 111 and the voice lamp control device 113, In order to instruct the operation, various commands are sent as data from the main control unit 110 to the sub-control units. The command is transmitted by the transmitting and receiving circuit from the main control unit 110 to the sub-control unit. It is sent in only one direction to the device.

[0093] The main control device 110 controls the big win lottery and the first and third symbol display devices 37 and 38. 81, and the lottery of the display result on the second symbol display device 83. The RAM 203 contains various memory blocks for controlling these processes. A counter buffer (see FIG. 12) is provided to store the seed counter.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 12, a counter provided in RAM 203 of main control device 110 These counters, etc. are used for the jackpot lottery, the first symbol display device 37, and and setting the display of the third symbol display device 81, and drawing lots for the display results of the second symbol display device 83. It is used in MPU 201 of main control device 110 to perform this.

[0095] The settings for the big win lottery and the display of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 are as follows: The first winning random number counter C1 used for the lottery of the jackpot and the second winning random number counter C2 used for selecting the jackpot pattern a first stop type counter C2 used to select the stop type; C3, a fluctuation type counter CS1 used to select a fluctuation pattern, and a first winning random number counter The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is used to set the initial value of the counter C1. In addition, the second winning random number counter C4 is used for the lottery of the normal symbol (second symbol display device 83). The initial value of the second winning random number counter C4 is set by the second initial value random number counter CINI2. Each time these counters are updated, 1 is added to the previous value, and when they reach the maximum value, It is a loop counter that returns to 0 afterwards.

[0096] Each counter is set to, for example, a 2-millisecond interval, which is the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 21). Some counters are updated irregularly during the main process (see Figure 30). The updated value is stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of ​​the RAM 203. The RAM 203 stores a first special memory area consisting of four reservation areas (reservation areas 1 to 4). A separate symbol reserved ball storage area 203a is provided, and each of these areas has a first ball entrance. According to the timing of the ball entering 64, the first hit random number counter C1 and the first hit type counter The values ​​of the stop type selection counter C2 and the stop type selection counter C3 are stored in the RAM 20. 3 is the second special pattern reserved ball storage area consisting of four reserved areas (reserved areas 1 to 4). In each of these areas, there is a ball entry ticket to the second ball entry gate 640. In accordance with the timing, the first winning random number counter C1, the first winning type counter C2 and the stop The values ​​of the type selection counter C3 are stored in the RAM 203. A 203c is provided, and a first winning random number counter C1 is used to execute the lottery. The values ​​of the first winning type counter C2 and the stop type selection counter C3 are stored. The RAM 203 has one execution area and four hold areas (hold areas 1 to 4). There is provided a normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203d consisting of the following: The second random shot is taken when the skill ball passes through the normal entrance (through gate) 67. The value of the number counter C4 is stored.

[0097] Each counter will be explained in detail. The first winning random number counter C1 is a counter that counts a number within a predetermined range (e.g., The value is incremented by one in the range of 0 to 399, and the maximum value (for example, In the case of a counter, it is configured to return to 0 after reaching 399. When the random number counter C1 goes around once, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 at that time is This is read as the initial value of the first winning random number counter C1.

[0098] In addition, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 has the same range as the first hit random number counter C1. It is configured as a loop counter that is updated by, for example, the first random number counter If C1 is a loop counter that can take values ​​from 0 to 399, the first initial value random number counter The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is also a loop counter with a range of 0 to 399. Counter CINI1 is updated once for each execution of the timer interrupt process (see Figure 21), and It is updated repeatedly within the remaining time of the main processing (see FIG. 30).

[0099] The value of the first winning random number counter C1 is, for example, periodically (in this embodiment, a timer interrupt process When a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64, the value is updated in RAM 20. 3 is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a. Meanwhile, the game ball is stored in the second ball entrance 6 If the ball lands in 40, the value is stored in the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b. .

[0100] As described above, the value of the random number that results in a jackpot with a special symbol is stored in the ROM 20 of the main control device 110. The first winning random number table 202a (see FIG. 9(b)) is set by the first winning random number table 202a stored in The value of the first random number counter C1 is set by the first random number table. If the value of the random number that results in a jackpot matches, it is determined that the special symbol is a jackpot. The first winning random number table 202a is used when the probability of a special symbol is low (when the probability of a special symbol is low). Period) and when there is a high probability of winning a special pattern compared to the low probability (special pattern The period in which the game is in a special state is divided into two types: The number of numbers is set differently (see Figure 9(b)). By varying the number of numbers, the jackpot is decided depending on whether the special symbol has a low probability or a high probability. The probability of this happening will be changed.

[0101] The first winning type counter C2 is, when a special symbol is a big win, The display mode of the device 37 is determined by sequentially selecting one of the numbers within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 99). When the maximum value (for example, 99 for a counter that can take values ​​from 0 to 99) is reached, The value of the first winning type counter C2 is reset to 0 after the first winning type counter C2 is reset, for example, periodically ( In this embodiment, the timer is updated once for each timer interrupt process, and when the game ball enters the first ball entrance 64, In this case, the value is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a (special symbol If the lottery is not being executed, the ball is stored in the execution area 203c). When the ball enters the slot 640, the value is stored in the second special symbol reserved ball storage area of ​​RAM 203. 203b (or 203c if the lottery for the special symbol is not currently being executed).

[0102] Here, the value of the first winning random number counter C1 stored in the execution area 203c is the special number. If the random number is not a jackpot for the pattern, that is, if the random number is a miss for the special pattern, The display mode corresponding to the stop pattern displayed on the pattern display device 37 is the same as that when the special pattern is not displayed. become.

[0103] On the other hand, the value of the first winning random number counter C1 stored in the execution area 203c is a special number. If the random number is a jackpot, it corresponds to the stop symbol displayed on the first symbol display device 37. The display mode will be that of a special symbol jackpot. The display mode is the same as the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a, or the second special symbol reserved ball The display mode indicated by the value of the first winning type counter C2 stored in the storage area 203b is become.

[0104] The first winning random number counter C1 in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment has a range of 0 to 399. This first random number counter C1 is configured as a loop counter of 2 bytes. In the case of a low probability of a special symbol, there are two random numbers that will result in a special symbol winning. The numbers "0,1" are stored in the first winning random number table for low probability (Figure 9 (See 202a1 in (b)). In this way, when the probability of a special symbol is low, the total number of random numbers is 400. The total number of random numbers that will result in a jackpot is 2, so the probability of winning a special pattern jackpot is: The random number (counter value) for the jackpot is "1 / 200". This applies to both the lottery and the lottery for the second special design.

[0105] On the other hand, when the probability of a special pattern is high, there are 20 random numbers that will result in a special pattern jackpot. The value "0 to 19" is stored in the first winning random number table for high probability (Figure 9 (See 202a2 in (b)). In this way, when the probability of a special symbol is high, the total number of random numbers is 400. The total number of random numbers that will result in a jackpot is 20, so the probability of winning a special pattern is , which becomes "1 / 20".

[0106] In addition, the value of the first winning type counter C2 in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is 0 to It is configured as a loop counter with a range of 99. And, as shown in Figure 10(a), The first special symbol is drawn and the jackpot is won, and the value of the first winning type counter C2 is "0 to 4" If this is the case, the jackpot type will be "Jackpot A" (8 rounds of chance jackpot). If the value is "5 to 64", the jackpot type is "Jackpot B" (5 rounds probability change) If the value is "65 to 99", the jackpot type is "Jackpot C". (5 rounds normal jackpot).

[0107] On the other hand, the second special symbol is drawn as a big win, and the value of the first winning type counter C2 becomes "0 If the result is "~4", the jackpot type is "Jackpot D" (16 rounds probability jackpot) In addition, if the value is "5 to 64", the jackpot type is "Jackpot E" (10 rank If the value is "65-99", the jackpot type is "Big Win" It will be "Hit F" (10 rounds normal jackpot).

[0108] In this way, the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is The random number value indicated by counter C2 determines the six types of winnings (jackpots A to F). It is configured so that

[0109] The stop type selection counter C3 is incremented by one in the range of, for example, 0 to 99, and the maximum value (i.e., after reaching 99, it returns to 0.) The counter C3 selects the type of stop when a miss occurs, which is displayed on the third symbol display device 81. After a reach occurs, the final stop pattern stops just one before or after the reach pattern. "Missing Reach" (for example, 98, 99) and the final stopping pattern after the Reach occurs. "Reach other than before and after" (for example, in the range of 90 to 97) There are three stop (performance) patterns, including a "complete miss" (for example, a range of 0 to 89) where no chip occurs. The value of the stop type selection counter C3 is, for example, periodically (in this embodiment, a timer When a game ball enters the first ball entrance 64, the value is updated to RA M203's first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a (when the special symbol lottery is not being executed) is stored in the execution area 203c). Also, when the game ball enters the second ball entrance 640, The value is stored in the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b of the RAM 203 (the lottery for the special symbol If it is not being executed, it is stored in the execution area 203c).

[0110] In addition, the stop type of the special pattern is determined from the value (random number) of the stop type selection counter C3. The random number value for this is set by a stop type selection table (not shown). The rule is provided in the ROM 202 of the main control device 110. The table is divided into two types: one for high probability of special symbols and one for low probability of special symbols. The range of random numbers set for each type of losing stop is changed depending on the type of winning. Depending on whether the machine 10 is in a high probability state of a special symbol or a low probability state of a special symbol, This is to change the selection ratio of the stop types.

[0111] For example, in a high probability state, the jackpot is likely to occur, so the reach effect is selected more than necessary. In order to avoid this, the range of random numbers corresponding to the "complete miss" stop type is wide, from 0 to 89, so that the probability is high. This table is used for selecting the "complete miss" option. The "reach except for forward and backward misses" narrows to 98, 99, and the "reach except for forward and backward misses" narrows to 90-97. This makes it difficult for "reach that misses the front or back" or "reach that is not misses the front or back" to be selected. In this state, the stop of the "complete miss" is performed to secure the time for the game ball to enter the first ball entrance 64. A table for low probability, with a narrow range of random numbers corresponding to the type, from 0 to 79, is selected. It becomes more difficult to select "miss."

[0112] This stop type selection table is a random number corresponding to the stop type of "reach other than front and rear miss". The range has widened to 80-97, making it easier to select "Reach except for front and rear misses." In the low probability state, it is possible to make many reach displays with long performance times, so the first entrance The time for the game ball to enter 64 can be secured, and the variable display by the third symbol display device 81 continues. In the latter table, the stop type of "reach out of front and rear" is also The range of the corresponding random value is set to 98,99.

[0113] The fluctuation type counter CS1 is incremented by 1 in the range of, for example, 0 to 198, and the maximum value (i.e., 198) and then returns to 0. The general display mode, such as normal reach or super reach, is determined. Specifically, the determination of the mode is the determination of the variation time of the pattern variation. Based on the fluctuation time determined by the above, the voice lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114 The reach type and detailed pattern variation of the third pattern displayed on the third pattern display device 81 are The value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is determined once in the main processing (see FIG. 30) described later. It is updated once each time it is executed, and is also updated repeatedly during the remaining time in the main process. In addition, one of the fluctuation time of the pattern fluctuation is determined from the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 (random number value). The fluctuation pattern table 202d (see FIG. 11(a)) storing the random number values ​​is stored in the main control device 1. 10 is provided in the ROM 202.

[0114] Here, the fluctuation pattern table 202d will be explained with reference to FIGS. 11(a) to 11(d). As shown in FIG. 11(a), this fluctuation pattern table 202d includes a first special chart. As a table for selecting a variation pattern based on the pattern lottery, 11(b)) and a (normal) fluctuation pattern table 2 02d2 (see Figure 11(c)), and the loss (probable loss) fluctuation pattern table 202d3 (see Figure 11(d)) is at least provided for in the

[0115] First, referring to FIG. 11(b), the big win fluctuation pattern table 202d1 FIG. 11(b) shows the contents of the big win variation pattern table 202d1. The big win variation pattern table 202d1 is a schematic diagram showing the special symbols. If the lottery result is a jackpot, the type of variation pattern (variation time) to be selected is specified. The data table shows the variation patterns of the jackpot. 0 seconds), various super reaches (60 seconds), and special reaches (90 seconds) are specified. The big win fluctuation pattern table 202d1 contains the fluctuation type counter CS1 Each value is associated with a variation pattern.

[0116] Specifically, the range of "0 to 50" is used as the judgment value for the fluctuation type counter CS1. The fluctuation patterns of various Marreach (30 seconds) are associated, and the range of "51 to 179" is The fluctuation patterns of various Super Reach (60 seconds) are associated with the range of "180~198" The range corresponds to the fluctuation patterns of various special reaches (90 seconds). The MPU201 at station 110 predicts the variation pattern when the special symbol lottery result is a jackpot. When selected, the judgment value corresponding to the acquired value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is set. The variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table for big win 202d1.

[0117] FIG. 11(c) is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the loss (normal) fluctuation pattern table 202d2. The (normal) variation pattern table 202d2 for losing is a low probability of the special symbol. In the probability state, the type of variation pattern that is selected when the special pattern lottery result is a miss This is a data table that specifies the difference (variation time). In this case, as described above, the stop type is completely different from the stop type selection table (not shown). The value of the stop type selection counter C3 determines whether the stop is within reach or out of reach (common for all reaches). Specifically, for example, in a low probability state of a special symbol, the stop type selection If the value of counter C3 is in the range of "0 to 79", it is set as a complete error, and if it is in the range of "80 to 99", it is set as a complete error. If it is within the range, set an out-reach (front and rear out-reach, or reach other than front and rear out-reach).

[0118] Here, if the fluctuation pattern type is a complete miss, the fluctuation time is a relatively short miss. (7 seconds) or a relatively long deviation (10 seconds). For a long miss (10 seconds), the range is "0 to 98", and for a long miss (10 seconds), the range is "99 to 198". It is set as the judgment value of the fluctuation type counter CS1.

[0119] In addition, for a missed reach, the judgment value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is in the range of "0 to 149". In the range of "150~197" there are various normal reaches (30 seconds) that are not good, and in the range of "150~197" there are various normal reaches (30 seconds) that are not good. -Per reach various (60 seconds), "198" misses special reach various (90 seconds) are set respectively.

[0120] In this way, the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 determines the lottery result of the special symbol during the normal game state. If the result is a miss, the stop type is determined, and the miss (normal) fluctuation pattern table 2 Based on the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 obtained from 02d2, the fluctuation for miss (normal) A variation pattern is selected from the pattern table 202d2.

[0121] FIG. 11(d) is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the loss (probable win) fluctuation pattern table 202d3. This table 202d3 for losing (probable win) variation patterns is a schematic diagram of the special symbols. The type of variation pattern that is selected when the special pattern is not drawn in the probability variation state. This is a data table that specifies the fluctuation time. In the bull 202d3, the value of the set fluctuation type counter CS1 is the above-mentioned loss ( This is different from the normal fluctuation pattern table 202d2.

[0122] As described above, when the game state is a probability game state, the stop type (not shown) If the value of the stop type selection counter C3 is in the range of "0 to 89" according to the selection table, A miss is determined, and if it is within the range of "90-99", it is a miss reach (a miss reach before or after, a miss before or after The other reach is determined.

[0123] In this way, when the game is in a probability game state rather than a normal game state, if it is a miss, The probability of winning is set low. Therefore, the fluctuation time of the winnings becomes longer during the probability variation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the time until the jackpot becomes too long. This prevents the game from becoming protracted during the highly variable game state, which can easily lead to boredom for the player. Cut.

[0124] Returning to FIG. 12, the explanation will be continued. The second winning random number counter C4 is, for example, in the range of 0 to 239. A loop counter that is incremented by one within the range and wraps around to 0 after reaching its maximum value (i.e., 239). In addition, when the second winning random number counter C4 goes around once, The value of the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is set as the initial value of the second winning random number counter C4. In this embodiment, the value of the second winning random number counter C4 is read every timer interrupt process. For example, the time when the game ball passes through the through gate 67 is updated periodically. and stored in the normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203d of the RAM 203.

[0125] The random number value that determines whether the normal symbol is a winning symbol is stored in the ROM 202 of the main control device. The second winning number is set by the second winning random number table 202c (see FIG. 10(b)). The value of the random number counter C4 becomes a winning number set by the second winning random number table. If the value of the random number matches, it is determined that the normal pattern is a winning symbol. The table is for when the probability of a normal pattern is low (the period when the normal pattern is in its normal state), and for when the probability is lower than that. It is for when there is a high probability of winning a normal pattern (when the normal pattern is in a time-saving state). There are two types, each with a different number of random numbers that will result in a jackpot. (See Figure 10(b)). In this way, by varying the number of winning random numbers, The probability of winning changes depending on whether the normal pattern has a low probability or a high probability.

[0126] As shown in Figure 10(b), when the probability of a normal pattern is low, the random number value for a normal pattern is There are 24 symbols, and their values ​​are "5 to 28". In this way, when the probability of a normal symbol is low, the random number The total number of random numbers that will be a jackpot is 24 out of a total of 240 values, so the jackpot for the special symbol is The probability of this happening is 1 / 10.

[0127] When the pachinko machine 10 has a low probability of a normal pattern, the game ball enters the normal ball entrance (through game). When passing through 67, the value of the second winning random number counter C4 is acquired and the second pattern The display device 83 displays the variable normal symbols for 30 seconds. If the value of the random number counter C4 is within the range of "5 to 28", it is determined to be a win and the second After the variable display on the symbol display device 83 is completed, "○" is displayed as the stop symbol (second symbol). The symbol lights up and is displayed, and the electric accessory 640a attached to the second ball entrance 640 turns on and displays "0. In this embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 is opened only once for 2 seconds. When it is a probability time, if it becomes a normal pattern hit, the electric device 640a will The time and number of times it is released can be set as desired. For example, "0.5 seconds" You can also release it twice.

[0128] On the other hand, when the probability of a normal pattern is high, there are 200 random numbers that will result in a normal pattern jackpot. The range is "5 to 204". These random numbers are used as the second winning random numbers for high probability. The total number of random numbers is stored in the table. The total number of random numbers that will result in a jackpot is 200, so the probability of winning a special pattern is would result in "1 / 1.2".

[0129] When the pachinko machine 10 has a high probability of winning a normal symbol, the game ball enters the normal ball entrance (through game). When passing through 67, the value of the second winning random number counter C4 is acquired and the second pattern The display device 83 displays the normal symbols for three seconds. If the value of the winning random number counter C4 is in the range of "5 to 204", it is determined to be a winning normal symbol. In this case, after the variable display on the second symbol display device 83 is completed, the stop symbol (the 2 symbols), the symbol "○" is displayed and the electric device 640a is displayed for 1 second x 2 In this way, when the probability of a normal pattern is high, the number of times that the normal pattern is released is higher than when the probability of a normal pattern is low. The time for the variable display has been shortened from 30 seconds to 3 seconds, and the opening of the electric device 640a Since the period becomes very long, "0.2 seconds x 1 time → 1 second x 2 times", In this embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 is in a state where the skill ball is likely to enter the ball. When the rate is high, if the normal pattern is won, the electric device 64a will only "1 second x 2 times" It will be released, but you can set the release time and number of times as you like. For example, release for "3 seconds x 2 times" You can do that.

[0130] The second initial value random number counter CINI2 is updated within the same range as the second winning random number counter C4. It is configured as a loop counter (value = 0 to 239) that is used for timer interrupt processing (see Figure 21). ) and is updated repeatedly within the remaining time of the main process (see Figure 30). can be.

[0131] In this way, various counters and the like are provided in the RAM 203, and the main control unit 110 Then, depending on the value of this counter, etc., a big win lottery and the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol Setting the display on the display device 81, drawing the display results on the second symbol display device 83, etc. The main processing of the pachinko machine 10 can be executed.

[0132] Returning to FIG. 8, the explanation continues. The RAM 203 is a counter buffer shown in FIG. In addition, the contents of the internal registers of the MPU201 and the control program executed by the MPU201 The stack area stores the return address of the program, and various flags, counters, and I / O. The RAM 203 has a work area (working area) in which values ​​such as 0 are stored. Even after the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off, the power supply device 115 supplies a backup voltage. The data is stored in the RAM 203. All data is backed up.

[0133] When the power supply is cut off due to a power outage or other reason, The stack pointer (similar to the above) and the values ​​of each register are stored in the RAM 203. When power is turned on (including when power is turned on after a power outage is resolved, the same applies below), the information stored in the RAM 203 Based on the information, the state of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power was cut off. This is written by the main process (see Figure 30) when the power is turned off, and The written values ​​are restored during the power-on startup process (see Figure 29). In addition, the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPU201 is When the power supply is cut off, a power failure signal SG1 is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 252. When the power failure signal SG1 is input to the MPU 201, an NMI is generated as a processing step in the event of a power failure. The interrupt process (see FIG. 28) is executed immediately.

[0134] Next, the specific contents of the ROM 202 will be described with reference to FIG. a) shows the configuration of the ROM 202 provided in the main control device 110 in this embodiment. The ROM 202 of the main control device 110 stores some of the fixed value data. As the first winning random number table 202a, the first winning type selection table 202b, the second winning type selection table 202c, At least a winning random number table 202c and a variation pattern selection table 202d are stored. are.

[0135] The first winning random number table 202a (see FIG. 9(b)) is a table of the first winning random number counter C1 It is a data table that defines the correspondence between the value of and the lottery result. In the low probability state of a different pattern, the range of the judgment value that is judged as a jackpot is "0, 1". (See 202a1 in Figure 9(b)) In the high probability state of the special pattern (probability state), The range of values ​​that determine a jackpot is set to "0 to 19" (see Figure 9(b)). (See 202a2). The value of the first winning random number counter C1 obtained based on the initial winning is corresponds to the big win defined in the first winning random number table 202a (see FIG. 9(b)). If the value matches any of the judgment values, it is determined that the special symbol is a jackpot.

[0136] The first winning type selection table 202b (see FIG. 10(a)) is used to determine the big winning type. It is a data table in which the judgment value for the first winning is stored for each type of special symbol, The determination value of the type counter C2 is defined in association with each big win type. In the pachinko machine 10, when a special symbol is determined to be a jackpot, the winnings are decided based on the starting prize. The value of the first winning type counter C2 obtained is compared with the first winning type selection table 202b. The big win type corresponding to the value of the first win type counter C2 is selected.

[0137] As shown in FIG. 10(a), for the first special symbol, the value of the first winning type counter C2 The range of "0 to 4" is associated with "Big Win A" (Figure 10(a) ) 202b1). This "Big Win A" has 8 rounds and After the end of the game, the "special symbol probability state" will continue until the next jackpot, and the "normal symbol probability state" will continue until the next jackpot. The first winning type counter C2 can take one of the following two values: Of the 00 counter values, there are 5 counter values ​​that become "Big Win A", so the first special chart When a pattern is drawn and a jackpot is awarded, the probability of a "jackpot A" being determined is 5% (5 / 100 ) This "Big Win A" is the first special pattern jackpot with the most rounds. , and after the big win ends, there is a "special pattern probability change state" and a "normal pattern time reduction state" " is awarded, making it the most advantageous type of jackpot among the jackpots with the first special pattern.

[0138] For the first special symbol, the value of the first winning type counter C2 is in the range of "5 to 64", "Big Win B" is associated with this (see 202b2 in FIG. 10(a)). "Jackpot B" has 5 rounds, and after the jackpot ends, the next jackpot The "special symbol probability state" and "normal symbol time reduction state" are granted, which continue until the Of the 100 counter values ​​that the first winning type counter C2 can take, The counter value for "Big Win B" is 60, so the first special pattern will be the big win. If you win, the probability of "Big Hit B" being determined is 60% (60 / 100). Although "Win B" has fewer rounds, it is the same as "Jackpot A" after the end of the jackpot. The game will be given advantageous "special symbol probability change state" and "normal symbol time reduction state", so This is a type of jackpot that is relatively advantageous for the technician.

[0139] For the first special symbol, the value of the first winning type counter C2 is in the range of "65 to 99". , and "Big Win C" is associated and defined (see 202b3 in FIG. 10(a)). This "Big Win C" has 5 rounds, and after the big win ends, a special pattern A jackpot that grants a "normal pattern time-saving state" that continues until 100 draws are completed. Of the 100 counter values ​​that the first winning type counter C2 can take, The counter value for "C" is 35, so if you win the lottery for the first special pattern, The probability of winning "Jackpot C" is 35% (35 / 100). The number of rounds is small, and the game state after the jackpot ends is "Jackpot A" or "Jackpot B". Since this type is less advantageous than "B" or "C", it is a type of jackpot that is disadvantageous to the player.

[0140] Also, as shown in FIG. 10(a), for the second special pattern, the first winning type counter C The value of 2 is set to the range of "0 to 4" and is associated with "Big Win D" (Figure 1 0(a) 202b4). This "jackpot D" has 16 rounds. After the jackpot ends, the "special symbol probability state" continues until the next jackpot, and This is a jackpot that gives the "normal pattern time shortening state". Of the 100 possible counter values, there are 5 counter values ​​that are "jackpot D". 2When a special pattern is drawn and a jackpot is awarded, the probability of "jackpot D" being determined is 5% (5 / 100). This "Big Win D" has the most rounds and after the big win This is the most advantageous type of jackpot for the player, as it also makes the game state more advantageous.

[0141] For the second special symbol, the value of the first winning type counter C2 is in the range of "5 to 64", "Big Win E" is associated with this (see 202b5 in Figure 10(a)). The "Big Win E" has 10 rounds, and after the big win ends, the next big win The "special symbol probability change state" and the "normal symbol time reduction state" are granted, which continue until the The first winning type counter C2 can have 100 counter values. In other words, the counter value for "Big Win E" is 60, so the first special pattern will be drawn and the big win will be If this happens, the probability of "Big Win E" being determined is 60% (60 / 100). Although "Jackpot E" has fewer rounds than "Jackpot D", after the jackpot ends The game state is advantageous like "Jackpot A", "Jackpot B", and "Jackpot D". Since a skill state is set, this is a type of jackpot type that is advantageous to the player.

[0142] For the second special pattern, the value of the first winning type counter C2 is in the range of "65 to 99". , and "Big Win F" is associated and defined (see 202b6 in FIG. 10(a)). This "Big Win F" has 10 rounds, and after the big win ends, a special pattern appears. It is a big win that will grant you a "normal pattern time-saving state" that will continue until 100 draws are completed. Among the 100 counter values ​​that the first winning type counter C2 can take, The counter value for "F" is 35, so if you win the lottery for the first special pattern, " The probability of winning "Jackpot F" is 35% (35 / 100). This "Jackpot F" is The number of rounds is compared to the first special pattern jackpot ("Jackpot A" to "Jackpot C") However, the game state after the jackpot ends is unfavorable, so it is a jackpot that is unfavorable for the player. It is a different type.

[0143] In this way, if you win the lottery for the second special symbol, the chances of winning are higher than if you win the lottery for the first special symbol. Since this is a jackpot type with a large number of bonuses, the number of bonuses for the second special symbol is higher than the number of bonuses for the first special symbol. The ratio of the probability jackpot to the normal jackpot is The same applies to the special pattern lottery and the second special pattern lottery (65% chance of winning, 65% chance of winning). The ratio is structured so that 35% of the total is used for the purpose.

[0144] The second winning random number table 202c (see FIG. 10(b)) is a table showing the winning determination value of the normal symbol. It is a data table that is specified (stored). Specifically, in the normal state of the normal pattern, Therefore, the winning value for the normal pattern is set to "5 to 28" (Figure 10(b) ) 202c1). Also, in the high probability state of the normal pattern, the normal pattern will be a winning The judgment value is set to "5 to 204" (see 202c2 in Figure 10(b)). In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the game ball passes through the normal ball entrance (through gate) 67. The value of the second winning random number counter C4 is obtained based on the second winning random number table 2. 02c and determines whether or not the normal pattern is a winning one.

[0145] The fluctuation pattern table 202d (see FIG. 11) determines the display mode of the fluctuation pattern. The data table in which the judgment value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 for the purpose is specified for each display mode. For details of the fluctuation pattern table 202d, see the fluctuation type counter. As explained above in the explanation of TACS1, detailed explanation is omitted here. do.

[0146] Next, details of the RAM 203 will be described with reference to FIG. 13. 13 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the RAM 203 of the device 110. As shown in FIG. 03 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a, the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203 b, execution area 203c, normal pattern reserved ball storage area 203d, first special pattern reserved ball number card Counter 203e, second special pattern reserved ball number counter 203f, normal pattern reserved ball number counter 2 03g, probability change flag 203h, time reduction counter 203i, ball entry waiting flag 203j, big win The start flag 203k, the jackpot flag 203m, and other memory area 203z are At least they have it.

[0147] The first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a is divided into four reserved areas (reserved first area to reserved Each of these areas has a first winning random number counter C1, a first winning random number counter C2, a first winning random number counter C3, a first winning random number counter C4, a first winning random number counter C5, a first winning random number counter C6, a first winning random number counter C7, a first winning random number counter C8, a first winning random number counter C9, a first winning random number counter C1, a first winning random number counter C2 ... The values ​​of the winning type counter C2 and the stop type selection counter C3 are stored.

[0148] More specifically, when the game ball enters the first ball entrance 64 (start entry), The values ​​of counters C1 to C3 are acquired, and the acquired data is stored in four reserved areas (reserved Among the available areas (1st area to 4th reserved area), The areas are stored in order from smallest to largest. In other words, the smaller the area number, the more likely it is to be stored in order from smallest to largest. The data corresponding to the oldest winnings is stored in the reserved area 1. If data is stored in all four reserved areas, In this case, nothing new is stored.

[0149] After that, when the main control device 110 performs a lottery for a special symbol, the first special symbol The counters C1 to C3 stored in the first reserved area of ​​the pattern reserved ball storage area 203a The value is shifted (moved) to the execution area 203c (see FIG. 12) and Based on the values ​​of the counters C1 to C3 stored in the memory, the lottery for the special symbols is decided. It can be done.

[0150] When data is shifted from the reserved area 1 to the execution area 203c, the reserved area 1 Therefore, the other holding areas (holding area 2 to holding area 4) will be empty. The winning data stored in the area number one smaller reserved area (reserved area 1 ~ reserved In this embodiment, the first special symbol reserved ball storage is performed. In the area 203a, the winning data is stored in the reserved area (reserved area 2 to Data shifting will only be performed for reserved areas (4th reserved area).

[0151] The second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b is t...
