Description

本発明は弾球遊技機、特に始動口への入賞に起因して大当りを生起させるか否かの抽選を実施する弾球遊技機に関する。 The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine that performs a lottery to determine whether or not to generate a big hit due to winning at a start opening.

従来の遊技機に、図柄始動口への遊技球の入球に起因して当否判定を行い、当否判定の結果が大当りの時は、大入賞口を開放させる大当り遊技を行い（以降、図柄大当りと呼ぶ）、当否判定の結果が小当りの時は、大入賞口を短時間開放させる小当り遊技を行い、この小当り遊技により大入賞口に入球した遊技球が、大入賞口内に設けられた特定領域に入球すると大当り遊技が開始される（以降、役物大当りと呼ぶ）構成の遊技機がある。
図柄大当りと役物大当りと異なる経緯の大当り方法があることから混合機とも呼ばれている。 A conventional game machine determines whether or not a game ball has entered the symbol start opening. If the result of the determination is a big hit, a big hit game is opened to open the big winning opening (hereinafter referred to as a symbol big hit). When the result of the determination is a small hit, a small hit game that opens the big prize opening for a short time is performed, and a game ball that has entered the big prize opening by this small hit game is provided in the big prize opening. There is a gaming machine having a configuration in which a big hit game is started (hereinafter referred to as a bonus hit) when entering a specific area.
It is also called a blender because there is a big hit method with different backgrounds from the design big hit and the bonus hit of the feature.

近年の混合機の主流となる遊技構成は、通常状態では第１始動口への遊技球の入球に起因して当否判定を行い、当否判定の結果が大当りの時は大当り遊技を行い、該大当り遊技終了後は、第２始動口となる普通電動役物が頻繁に作動する開放延長状態を所定回数付与し、第２始動口の当否判定の小当り当選確率を高く設定することで、通常遊技時は、図柄大当りを目指す遊技を、開放延長機能作動時は役物大当りを目指す遊技を１つの遊技機で楽しむことができるようになっている。＜特許文献１＞ In a normal state, the gaming configuration that has become the mainstream of recent mixers determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port, and performs a big hit game when the result of the determination is a big hit. After the big hit game is over, it is usually set by giving a predetermined number of open extended states in which the ordinary electric accessory serving as the second start opening frequently operates, and setting the small hit winning probability for the determination of whether or not the second start opening is normal. A single game machine can be used to enjoy a game that aims to win a symbol when playing a game, and a game that aims to win a bonus when an opening extension function is activated. <Patent Document 1>

特に開放延長機能作動時は、当否判定で大当りと判定される確率よりも、小当り遊技時に、大入賞口へ入球した遊技球が特定領域に入球する確率の方が高く設定されている構成が一般的であり、確率変動機能を搭載し、確率変動機能と開放延長機能を作動させて図柄大当りを目指す遊技構成よりも比較して短時間で大当り（役物大当り）が発生する可能性があり、短時間で多量の遊技球を獲得できる可能性があるため一定の人気がある。 In particular, when the open extension function is activated, the probability that a game ball that has entered the big winning opening will enter a specific area during the small hit game is set higher than the probability that it will be determined as a big hit in the determination of success or failure. The structure is general, and the probability variation function is installed, and the probability variation function and the open extension function are activated to generate a big hit (actual bonus hit) in a shorter time compared to a game configuration aiming for a symbol big hit. There is a certain popularity because there is a possibility of acquiring a large amount of game balls in a short time.

特開２０１２−０５０６０８号公報JP 2012-050608 A

しかし、開放延長機能が作動している状態は、当否判定による抽選結果は殆ど小当りであるため、遊技者の興味は抽選よりも小当りしてから遊技球が大入賞口に入賞するか、入賞した遊技球が特定領域に入球するかに向いている。そのため、開放延長機能作動中の特別図柄の変動時間や演出内容に特に変化を与えることは考えられてはおらず、開放延長機能作動状態の残り回数に応じて平均変動時間を変化させることなどは考えられていなかった。 However, when the open extension function is activated, the lottery result based on the determination of whether or not it is almost a small hit, so the player's interest is a small hit than the lottery, and then the game ball wins the big winning opening, It is suitable for winning game balls entering specific areas. For this reason, it is not considered to change the special symbol's fluctuation time and the contents of the performance during the opening extension function, and it is not possible to change the average fluctuation time according to the remaining number of times the opening extension function is activated. It was not done.

そこで、本発明は、上記混合機において、開放延長機能作動中における抽選回数に基づいて、抽選回数に応じて平均変動時間を変更することにより、一つの開放延長機能作動中で複数の遊技感覚を与えることにより新規な遊技感覚を与える遊技機を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention, in the above-mentioned mixer, based on the number of lotteries during the operation of the opening extension function, by changing the average variation time according to the number of lottery, a plurality of gaming sensations can be obtained during the operation of one opening extension function. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that gives a new gaming sensation.

At least in a game area in which a game ball launched at the second launch strength can flow down, an operation port that causes a lottery of the normal symbol by entering the game ball, the second start port, and the A grand prize device is installed,
The second special symbol includes a first variation table and a second variation table having at least different average variation times as the variation table, and the first variation table is selected if the number of times of the determination is less than a predetermined number in the special game. The ball game machine is characterized in that the second variation table is selected at a predetermined number of times or more.

第１始動口、第２始動口への遊技球の入球に起因して複数の乱数を抽出する構成が好適であり、（図柄）大当りを生起させるか否かを抽選するための当否（大当り）判定用乱数の他に、該大当り判定用乱数の抽選結果に応じた図柄の種類と、当該図柄を導出表示するまでの可変表示時間とを決定するために用いる乱数であればよく、例えば大当り，小当り，ハズレの図柄決定用乱数、リーチ決定用乱数、変動パターン決定用乱数としてもよく、当否判定の結果に応じて、使用する乱数と使用しない乱数とがある構成としてもよい。また、乱数値の抽出時期は、始動口への遊技球の入球時に限らず、図柄の変動開始時に行われる当否判定実施時としてもよい。同様に、第１普図作動口，第２普図作動口への遊技球の入球に起因して複数の乱数を抽出する構成が好適である。 A configuration in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entrance of game balls into the first start port and the second start port is suitable, and (symbol) whether or not a lottery is to be generated (big hit) ) In addition to the random number for determination, any random number may be used as long as it is used to determine the type of symbol corresponding to the lottery result for the random determination for jackpot determination and the variable display time until the symbol is derived and displayed. , Small hits, lost design determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, variation pattern determination random numbers, and depending on the determination result, there may be a configuration in which there are random numbers to be used and random numbers not to be used. In addition, the extraction time of the random number value is not limited to the time when the game ball enters the start opening, but may be the time when the correctness determination is performed at the start of symbol variation. Similarly, a configuration is preferable in which a plurality of random numbers are extracted due to the entrance of game balls into the first general diagram operation port and the second general diagram operation port.

「少なくとも前記第１始動口への入球に起因して抽出された乱数値を保留記憶として記憶する保留記憶手段と、」は、第２始動口への入球により抽出された乱数値を保留記憶する手段を備えても備えなくても良いことを指す。最低限、第１始動口に保留記憶手段が備えられていれば良い。 “At least storage means for storing a random value extracted due to entering the first starting port as a storing storage” holds the random value extracted by entering the second starting port. It means that it is not necessary to have a means for storing. At a minimum, it is only necessary that the first start port is provided with a holding storage means.

普通図柄の抽選の起因となる作動口入球時は、当りか否かを判定（普図当否判定）する乱数と、当り図柄を決定する乱数と、普通図柄の変動時間を決定する乱数値としてもよい。また、決定した当り図柄に基づいて可変入賞装置の作動内容を決定する構成としてもよいし、当りか否かを判定する乱数の値に応じて可変入賞装置の作動内容を決定してもよい（作動判定手段）。 When entering the working hole that causes the normal symbol lottery, as a random number that determines whether or not it is a hit (ordinary symbol determination), a random number that determines the winning symbol, and a random value that determines the fluctuation time of the normal symbol Also good. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which determines the operation | movement content of a variable winning apparatus based on the determined winning symbol, and you may determine the operation | movement content of a variable winning apparatus according to the value of the random number which determines whether it is a win ( Operation determination means).

小当り遊技時に大入賞口（大入賞装置）に入球した遊技球は、所定の確率で特定領域に入球する構成が好適であり、例えば、大入賞口内に振分装置を備え、遊技球を異なる経路に振り分ける役物内構成が好適である。
また、「少なくとも前記第２特別図柄の当否判定の結果が小当りとなることで小当り遊技を実施する小当り遊技実施手段と」は、第１特別図柄に小当りとなる判定があってもなくても良いことを指し、最低限、第２特別図柄に小当りとする判定があれば良い。 A game ball that has entered a special winning opening (large winning device) at the time of a small hit game is preferably configured to enter a specific area with a predetermined probability. For example, a gaming ball having a sorting device in the special winning opening, It is preferable to use an in-compartment configuration that distributes different routes.
Also, “at least a small hit game execution means for executing a small hit game when the result of the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is a small hit” means that even if the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit This means that it is not necessary, and it is sufficient that there is at least a determination that the second special symbol is a small hit.

「前記第２始動口へ遊技球を入球させるのに有利な特典遊技」とは、普通図柄の変動時間の短縮や、普通図柄の当選確率が向上、第２始動口の入球容易な状態の時間の延長、第２特図の変動時間の短縮などにより有利な状態を作り出された遊技状態を指し、上記の何れかのみで実現しても良いし、いくつかの組み合わせ、又は全てを組み合せて実施すればよい。時短機能、時短遊技、時短状態、開放延長機能、開放延長状態ともいう。
また、遊技領域の略中央に演出表示装置を備えたセンターケースを配した一般的なぱちんこ遊技機であれば、「遊技球を第１の発射強度で発射したときに遊技球が流下可能な第１遊技領域」は、センターケースの左側から遊技球が流下する範囲が相当し、「前記第１の発射強度よりも強い第２の発射強度で発射したときに遊技球が流下可能な第２遊技領域」は、センターケースの右側から遊技球が流下する範囲が相当する。 “Advantageous game that is advantageous for entering a game ball into the second start opening” means that the normal symbol variation time is shortened, the normal symbol win probability is improved, and the second start opening is easy to enter. Refers to a gaming state in which an advantageous state is created by extending the time of the game, shortening the fluctuation time of the second special figure, etc., and may be realized by any one of the above, or some combinations or all combinations To do. Time-short function, time-short game, time-short state, open extended function, open extended state.
Further, if it is a general pachinko gaming machine having a center case provided with an effect display device in the approximate center of the game area, “the game ball can flow down when the game ball is launched at the first launch strength”. The “one game area” corresponds to a range in which the game ball flows down from the left side of the center case, and “a second game in which the game ball can flow down when launched at a second launch strength higher than the first launch strength”. The “region” corresponds to a range where the game ball flows down from the right side of the center case.

第１始動口は、第１遊技領域を流下する遊技球が入球可能な位置に配置されるのが好適であり、その場合、第２始動口となる可変入賞装置（普通電動役物、普電とも記載）は第２遊技領域を流下する遊技球が入球可能な位置に配置されるため、第１特別図柄を変動させる場合と第２特別図柄を変動させる場合とでは、第１遊技領域と第２遊技領域とで発射強度を変化させて遊技球の打ち分けが必要な構成となる。
ただし、第２遊技領域から流下した遊技球が第１始動口に入球する可能性を完全に排除するものではなく、比較して第１遊技領域を流下した遊技球の方が入球確率が高ければよい。また、第２始動口、大入賞装置などについても同様に第１遊技領域から流下した遊技球の入賞の可能性を排除するものではない。無論、完全に排除する構成でもよい。 The first start opening is preferably arranged at a position where a game ball flowing down the first game area can enter, and in this case, a variable winning apparatus (ordinary electric accessory, general use object) serving as the second start opening. Since the game ball flowing down the second game area is placed at a position where the ball can enter, the first game area is changed when the first special symbol is changed and when the second special symbol is changed. And the second game area, it is necessary to change the firing strength and to separate the game balls.
However, the possibility that a game ball that has flowed down from the second game area will enter the first start port is not completely excluded. In comparison, a game ball that has flowed down from the first game area has a higher probability of entry. It should be high. Similarly, the possibility of winning the game ball that has flowed down from the first game area is not excluded from the second starting port, the big winning device, and the like. Of course, the structure which eliminates completely may be sufficient.

「前記第２特別図柄は、前記変動テーブルとして少なくとも平均変動時間が異なる第１変動テーブルと第２変動テーブルを備え、前記特典遊技において前記当否判定の回数が所定回数未満では前記第１変動テーブルを選択し、所定回数以上では前記第２変動テーブルを選択する」は、特典遊技時は、第２始動口への入賞が容易になっているため、第２特別図柄での当否抽選がメインの遊技となる。第２特別図柄では大当りだけでなく小当りも判定され、小当りは大当りよりも当選しやすく設定されているため、通常状態に比べていずれかの大当りが発生しやすい有利な状態となっている。
そのため、特典遊技の前半を比較して平均変動時間の短い変動テーブルで行なえば、短時間で大当りが発生していくようになる。よって、第１変動テーブルは、比較して短い平均変動時間が設定された変動テーブルとするのが望ましい。
対して特典遊技の後半は、普通に遊技を行っていればこの変動回数まで役物大当りが発生しないのは稀である地点を後半とすることが考えられ、後半まで至って役物大当りが発生していないのは想定した遊技を行っていない可能性があることから、比較して平均変動時間の長い変動テーブルに変更することにより、時間当たりの変動回数を減らして少しでも早く推奨する遊技方法に変更してもらうようにすることが考えられる。よって、第２変動テーブルは、比較して長い平均変動時間が設定された変動テーブルとするのが望ましい。
無論、逆の構成も考えられ、第１変動テーブルを比較して長く設定し、第２変動テーブルを長く設定した場合は、前半は一回一回の小当りを演出しながらじっくり楽しませ、後半は演出を極力省いて大入賞口に入球した遊技球の動きに集中させる遊技構成とすることができる。
なお、「所定回数」は、小当り遊技時の特定領域への入賞率と関連して基準を決めたり、遊技性として基準を決めたりすればよい。
また、「所定回数」の対象は、変動テーブルが変更される第２特図のみを対象に計数する構成でもよいし、第１、第２特図両方を対象にしてもよいし、第１特図のみを対象に計数する構成も考えられる。第２特図のみならば、ほぼ小当りの回数に応じて変動テーブルを変更させていくことができ、第１、第２特図両方ならば実際の総抽選回数に応じて変更することができ、第１特図のみならば、本来開放延長機能が作動している時に第１特図の変動があるのは推奨する遊技方法ではないため、変則的な遊技の回数に応じて変更するものとなる。 “The second special symbol includes, as the variation table, a first variation table and a second variation table having at least different average variation times, and the first variation table is used when the number of times of the success / failure determination is less than a predetermined number in the privilege game. “Select and select the second variation table above a predetermined number of times” means that the winning game in the second special symbol is the main game because winning at the second starting port is easy during a special game. It becomes. In the second special symbol, not only big hits but also small hits are judged, and since the small hits are set to be more easily won than big hits, it is in an advantageous state in which any big hit is likely to occur compared to the normal state. .
Therefore, if the first half of the award game is compared and a change table with a short average change time is used, a big hit will occur in a short time. Therefore, it is desirable that the first variation table is a variation table in which an average variation time shorter than that of the first variation table is set.
On the other hand, in the second half of the award game, if the game is played normally, it is considered that the point where it is rare that the bonus hit will not occur until this number of fluctuations is considered to be the latter half. Since there is a possibility that the assumed game may not be played, by changing to a fluctuation table with a long average fluctuation time in comparison, the number of fluctuations per hour is reduced and a gaming method recommended as soon as possible It is conceivable to have them change. Therefore, it is desirable that the second variation table be a variation table in which a longer average variation time is set.
Of course, the reverse configuration is also possible. If the first variation table is set longer than the second variation table, and the second variation table is set longer, the first half will be enjoyed carefully while directing one small hit at a time. The game composition can be made to concentrate on the movement of the game ball that has entered the grand prize winning opening with minimal production.
It should be noted that the “predetermined number of times” may be determined based on a winning rate for a specific area at the time of a small hit game, or may be determined as game playability.
In addition, the “predetermined number” target may be configured to count only the second special figure in which the variation table is changed, may be the target of both the first and second special figures, or the first special figure. A configuration for counting only the figure is also conceivable. If it is only the second special figure, the fluctuation table can be changed almost according to the number of small hits, and if it is both the first and second special figures, it can be changed according to the actual total number of lotteries. In the case of only the first special figure, since it is not a recommended gaming method that the first special figure has a fluctuation when the opening extension function is originally operated, it is changed according to the number of irregular games. Become.

請求項１に記載の遊技機によれば、特典遊技において抽選回数に応じた平均変動時間を設定することにより、平均変動時間により時間当たりの大当りの回数が変化したり、平均変動時間の変化に合わせて演出内容を変更できたり、１つの特典遊技期間において複数の遊技感覚を与えることができる。 According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, by setting an average fluctuation time according to the number of lotteries in the bonus game, the number of jackpots per hour varies depending on the average fluctuation time, or changes in the average fluctuation time. It is possible to change the contents of the production and give a plurality of game sensations in one bonus game period.

以下に本発明の好適な実施形態について説明する。尚、本発明の実施の形態は下記の実施形態例に何ら限定されるものではなく、本発明の技術的範囲に属する種々を採ることができ、各実施例に記載された内容を適宜組み合わせることが可能なことはいうまでもない。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications belonging to the technical scope of the present invention can be adopted, and the contents described in the respective embodiments can be appropriately combined. It goes without saying that this is possible.

図１は、遊技盤１の正面図である。図１に示すように遊技盤１には、公知のガイドレール２ａ、２ｂによって囲まれた略円形の遊技領域が、ほぼ中央部に配置されたセンターケース５を境に第１遊技領域３ａ（本発明の第１遊技領域に相当）と第２遊技領域３ｂ（本発明の第２遊技領域に相当）とに分けられており、センターケース５の左側が第１遊技領域３ａ、右側が第２遊技領域３ｂとなり、図に示したＡ部まで到達した遊技球は、第２遊技領域誘導路１０１を転動し、第２遊技領域３ｂ（センターケース５の右側）に至り、Ａに到達しない遊技球が第１遊技領域３ａ（センターケース５の左側）を流下することになる。また、この第１遊技領域３ａ，第２遊技領域３ｂには多数の遊技釘が植設されている。 FIG. 1 is a front view of the game board 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 1 has a substantially circular game area surrounded by known guide rails 2a and 2b. It is divided into a first game area 3a (corresponding to the first game area of the present invention) and a second game area 3b (corresponding to the second game area of the present invention), with the left side of the center case 5 being the first game area 3a and the right side being the second game. A game ball that has reached area A shown in the figure and has reached part A shown in the figure rolls on the second game area guide path 101, reaches the second game area 3 b (on the right side of the center case 5), and does not reach A Will flow down the first game area 3a (left side of the center case 5). A large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b.

センターケース５は、公知のものと同様に、ワープ入口、ワープ通路、ステージ、演出図柄表示装置６の画面を臨ませる窓等を備えている。センターケース５の左には、第１普通図柄作動ゲート１５が配置され、下には、第１始動口１１が配置され、第１始動口１１の左方には、３個の一般入賞口３１が設けられている。なお、この一般入賞口３１は、入球率が変化しない普通入賞口である。 The center case 5 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp passage, a stage, a window for allowing the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 to face, and the like. A first normal symbol operation gate 15 is disposed on the left of the center case 5, a first start port 11 is disposed below the center case 5, and three general winning ports 31 are disposed on the left side of the first start port 11. Is provided. The general winning opening 31 is a normal winning opening in which the winning rate does not change.

センターケース５の右の第２遊技領域３ｂには、第２普通図柄作動ゲート１７が配置され、第２普通図柄作動ゲート１７の下には、センターケース５右側面と一体化し片羽根が開閉動作を行う第１大入賞口１４が設置されている。第１大入賞口１４の下には、普通電動役物１６が配置され、この普通電動役物１６が作動すると第２始動口１２への遊技球の入球が可能となる。 In the second game area 3b on the right side of the center case 5, a second normal symbol operating gate 17 is arranged, and below the second normal symbol operating gate 17, it is integrated with the right side surface of the center case 5 to open and close one blade. A first grand prize-winning port 14 is installed. An ordinary electric accessory 16 is arranged below the first grand prize winning opening 14, and when the ordinary electric accessory 16 is activated, a game ball can be inserted into the second start opening 12.

第２始動口１２の左下（第１始動口１１の右）には、特定領域９４（本発明の特定領域に相当）を備えた振分装置９２を設けた第２大入賞口９１（本発明の入球した遊技球が通過可能な特定領域を備えた大入賞口に相当）が配置されている。この振分装置９２の構造については図２を用いて後述する。なお、第１大入賞口１４は大当り遊技時（役物大当り生起後の大当り遊技も含む）に作動し、第２大入賞口９１は小当り遊技時に作動する。 In the lower left of the second starting port 12 (right of the first starting port 11), a second grand prize winning port 91 (the present invention) provided with a distribution device 92 provided with a specific region 94 (corresponding to the specific region of the present invention). (Corresponding to a large winning opening having a specific area through which a game ball that has entered can be passed). The structure of the distribution device 92 will be described later with reference to FIG. The first big prize opening 14 operates during a big hit game (including a big hit game after the occurrence of a big hit for a feature), and the second big winning opening 91 works during a small hit game.

第１始動口１１は、植設された遊技釘及びセンターケース５の成型形状により、第２遊技領域３ｂを流下した遊技球が入球困難な構成となっている。これにより、第１始動口１１は、ほぼ第１遊技領域３ａを流下した遊技球のみが入球可能となる。また、第２普通図柄作動ゲート１７、第１大入賞口１４、第２始動口１２、第２大入賞口９１については、同様の理由により第２遊技領域３ｂを流下した遊技球のみが入球可能となっている。 The first start port 11 has a configuration in which it is difficult for a game ball flowing down the second game area 3b to enter due to the molded shape of the planted game nail and the center case 5. Thereby, only the game ball which flowed down the 1st game area | region 3a can enter into the 1st start port 11 only. For the second normal symbol operating gate 17, the first grand prize opening 14, the second start opening 12, and the second big prize opening 91, only game balls that have flowed down the second game area 3b for the same reason have entered. It is possible.

第２遊技領域３ｂの下部には、複数個のＬＥＤからなる普通図柄表示装置７、普通図柄保留数表示装置８と、７セグメント表示装置からなる第１特別図柄表示装置９、第２特別図柄表示装置１０と、複数個のＬＥＤからなる第１特別図柄保留数表示装置１８、１個のＬＥＤからなる第２特別図柄保留数表示装置１９とが配置されている。この位置に配置した各種表示装置の表示内容を遊技者が確実に認識することは困難となり、遊技中の遊技者は遊技盤中央に配置された演出図柄表示装置６の表示内容に注目して遊技を行うことになる。 Below the second game area 3b, a normal symbol display device 7 composed of a plurality of LEDs, a normal symbol hold number display device 8, a first special symbol display device 9 composed of a 7-segment display device, and a second special symbol display. The apparatus 10, the 1st special symbol reservation number display apparatus 18 which consists of several LED, and the 2nd special symbol reservation number display apparatus 19 which consists of 1 LED are arrange | positioned. It becomes difficult for the player to surely recognize the display contents of the various display devices arranged at this position, and the player who is playing the game pays attention to the display contents of the effect symbol display device 6 arranged in the center of the game board. Will do.

上記のように遊技盤１を構成することによって、第１遊技領域３ａに遊技球を流下させると第１普通図柄作動ゲート１５に遊技球が入球（第１普通図柄作動スイッチ１５ａ（図３参照）が遊技球を検出）すると、普通図柄表示装置７で普通図柄（以下、普図とも記載）が変動表示を開始し、所定時間後に停止した普図の態様に応じて、後述する普通電役ソレノイド１２ｂ（図３参照）を駆動させ、第１始動口１１に遊技球が入球（第１始動口スイッチ１１ａ（図３参照）が遊技球を検出）すると、第１特別図柄表示装置９において第１特別図柄（本発明の第１特別図柄に相当）が変動を開始し、所定時間後に停止する。 By configuring the game board 1 as described above, when a game ball flows down to the first game area 3a, the game ball enters the first normal symbol operation gate 15 (first normal symbol operation switch 15a (see FIG. 3). ) Detects the game ball), the normal symbol display device 7 starts displaying the normal symbol (hereinafter also referred to as “normal”), and the normal electric role described later according to the mode of the normal symbol stopped after a predetermined time. When the solenoid 12b (see FIG. 3) is driven and a game ball enters the first start port 11 (the first start port switch 11a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball), the first special symbol display device 9 The first special symbol (corresponding to the first special symbol of the present invention) starts to change and stops after a predetermined time.

第２遊技領域３ｂに遊技球を流下させると、第２遊技領域３ｂを流下した遊技球が第２普通図柄作動ゲート１７に入球（第２普通図柄作動スイッチ１７ａ（図３参照）が遊技球を検出）すると、第１普通図柄作動ゲート１５に入球した場合と同様に普通図柄表示装置７で普図が変動表示を開始し、所定時間後に停止した普図の態様に応じて、後述する普通電役ソレノイド１２ｂ（図３参照）を駆動させる。普通電役ソレノイド１２ｂが駆動すると、ほぼ同期して普通電動役物１６の扉部が開放して、第２始動口１２への入球（第２始動口スイッチ１２ａ（図３参照）の検出）が可能となるように構成されている。第２始動口１２に遊技球が入球すると、第２特別図柄表示装置１０において第２特別図柄（本発明の第２特別図柄に相当）が変動表示を開始し、所定時間後に停止する。 When the game ball flows down to the second game area 3b, the game ball flowing down the second game area 3b enters the second normal symbol operation gate 17 (the second normal symbol operation switch 17a (see FIG. 3) is the game ball. In the same way as when entering the first normal symbol operation gate 15, the normal symbol starts to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 7 in the same manner as in the case of entering the first normal symbol operation gate 15, and will be described later according to the mode of the normal symbol stopped after a predetermined time. The ordinary electric solenoid 12b (see FIG. 3) is driven. When the ordinary electric solenoid 12b is driven, the door portion of the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens almost synchronously and enters the second starting port 12 (detection of the second starting port switch 12a (see FIG. 3)). Is configured to be possible. When a game ball enters the second start port 12, the second special symbol (corresponding to the second special symbol of the present invention) starts to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 10, and stops after a predetermined time.

第１特別図柄（以降、第１特図ともいう）及び第２特別図柄（以降、第２特図ともいう）の変動中は、演出図柄表示装置６において各々の特別図柄（以降、特図ともいう）の変動に連動した演出態様を表示する。また、第１特別図柄と第２特別図柄は、同時に変動することはなく、第１始動口と第２始動口への入球順に関係なく、第２特別図柄の変動（当否判定）を優先して実施する。具体的には、第１特別図柄の保留記憶がある場合、第２特別図柄の変動が停止し、且つ、第２特別図柄保留記憶が無い状態となって、第１特別図柄保留記憶分の変動を開始する。本実施例においては、第２特別図柄を優先して実施することは必ずしも必須ではなく、入球順に実施する構成でも、第１特別図柄を優先して実施する構成でもよい。また、第２特別図柄に保留記憶を備えない構成でもよい。
本実施例は遊技状態により遊技領域を打ち分けるため、通常遊技時は第１特図、開放延長機能作動時（時短状態、時短時とも）は第２特図で抽選するため、入球順の構成でも問題なく打ち分けることが可能となる。また、第１特図を優先して実行する場合は、時短状態になって第２遊技領域３ｂに打ち始める際に、先んじて第１特図の保留記憶を消化することができるため、以降は途中で第１特図の変動が入り込んでくることなく遊技をすることができるようになる。
また、第２特図に保留記憶を備えなければ、第１特図の保留がない時だけしか変動ができないため、同様に第１特図の保留がない状態で変動ができると共に、保留記憶により遊技状態が変化した後に変動を持ち越さないため、第２特図を時短状態時のみしか変動しないようにすることができる。 While the first special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as the first special symbol) and the second special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as the second special symbol) are changing, each special symbol (hereinafter referred to as the special symbol) is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. The effect mode linked to the change of the display is displayed. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol do not change at the same time, and the second special symbol changes (whether or not) is given priority regardless of the order of entering the first starting port and the second starting port. To implement. Specifically, when there is a reserved memory of the first special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol is stopped, and there is no second special symbol reserved memory, and the variation of the first special symbol reserved memory To start. In the present embodiment, it is not always essential to prioritize the second special symbol, and a configuration in which the second special symbol is performed in order of entry or a configuration in which the first special symbol is prioritized may be employed. Moreover, the structure which does not equip with 2nd special symbol memory | storage is sufficient.
Since the game area is divided according to the game state in this embodiment, the first special figure is drawn in the normal game, and the second special figure is drawn when the open extension function is activated (both in the short time state and in the short time). Even with the configuration, it is possible to sort without problems. In addition, when the first special figure is executed with priority, the reserved memory of the first special figure can be digested first when entering the second game area 3b in a short time state. It becomes possible to play the game without the fluctuation of the first special figure entering on the way.
Further, if the second special figure is not provided with a holding memory, it can be changed only when there is no holding of the first special figure. Since the fluctuation is not carried over after the gaming state is changed, the second special figure can be changed only in the short-time state.

第１特別図柄及び第２特別図柄の確定表示した態様に応じて、後述する第１大入賞口ソレノイド１４ｂ（図３参照）、又は第２大入賞口ソレノイド９１ｂが駆動する。第１大入賞口ソレノイド１４ｂが駆動（大当り遊技時）すると、ほぼ同期して第１大入賞口１４の扉部材が開放し、第１大入賞口１４への遊技球の入球（第１カウントスイッチ１４ａ（図３参照）が遊技球を検出）が可能となり、第２大入賞口ソレノイド９１ｂが駆動（小当り遊技時）すると、ほぼ同期して第２大入賞口９１の扉部材が開放し、第２大入賞口９１への遊技球の入球（第２カウントスイッチ９１ａ（図３参照）が遊技球を検出）が可能となるように構成されている。 A first big prize opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 3) or a second big prize opening solenoid 91b, which will be described later, is driven in accordance with the final display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. When the first grand prize opening solenoid 14b is driven (during a big hit game), the door member of the first big prize opening 14 opens almost synchronously, and a game ball enters the first big prize opening 14 (first count). When the switch 14a (see FIG. 3) detects a game ball) and the second big prize opening solenoid 91b is driven (during a small hit game), the door member of the second big prize opening 91 opens almost synchronously. The game ball can be entered into the second grand prize winning port 91 (the second count switch 91a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball).

普通電動役物１６からなる第２始動口１２、第１大入賞口１４、第２大入賞口９１は、第２遊技領域３ｂ（センターケース５の右側）に配置されているため、遊技状態が開放延長遊技状態に移行した場合、大当り遊技に移行した場合、小当り遊技に移行した場合は、発射した遊技球の全てが第２遊技領域３ｂに到達するように発射ハンドルを調整することになる。 Since the second starting port 12, the first grand prize winning port 14, and the second major prize winning port 91, which are made of the ordinary electric accessory 16, are arranged in the second gaming area 3b (on the right side of the center case 5), the gaming state is When transitioning to the open extended game state, transition to jackpot game, transition to jackpot game, the launch handle is adjusted so that all of the launched game balls reach the second game area 3b. .

次に、図２を用いて、特定領域９４を備えた振分装置９２を説明する。振分装置９２の内側上部にはワープ出口９２ａが設けられており、第２大入賞口９１に入球した遊技球は全てワープ出口９２ａから振分装置９２内に流れ込む。ワープ出口９２ａの下方には一対の振分羽根９３が設けられており、第２大入賞口９１の開閉動作時に作動する。 Next, the distribution device 92 including the specific area 94 will be described with reference to FIG. A warp outlet 92a is provided on the inner upper portion of the sorting apparatus 92, and all game balls that have entered the second grand prize winning port 91 flow into the sorting apparatus 92 from the warp outlet 92a. A pair of sorting blades 93 is provided below the warp outlet 92a and operates when the second grand prize winning port 91 is opened and closed.

振分羽根９３が閉鎖されているとき（図２（ａ））にワープ出口９２ａから遊技球が流出すると、遊技球はハズレ口９２ｂに導かれるため特定領域９４には入球しない。開放されているとき（図２（ｂ））にワープ出口９２ａから遊技球が流出すると、Ｖで示された特定領域９４に入球する。従って、図２（ａ）の閉鎖状態と図２（ｂ）の開放状態とで各々の時間を設定し交互に組み合わせることで特定領域９４への遊技球の入球率が設定できる。また、第２大入賞口９１の開閉タイミングと組み合わせても同様に入球率の設定ができる。なお、振分装置９２に誘導される遊技球は、第２カウントスイッチ９１ａで検出済の遊技球となる。 If the game ball flows out from the warp outlet 92a when the sorting blade 93 is closed (FIG. 2A), the game ball is guided to the lose mouth 92b and does not enter the specific area 94. When the game ball flows out from the warp outlet 92a when it is opened (FIG. 2B), it enters the specific area 94 indicated by V. Accordingly, by setting the respective times in the closed state of FIG. 2A and the open state of FIG. 2B and combining them alternately, the entrance rate of the game balls into the specific region 94 can be set. Further, even when combined with the opening / closing timing of the second grand prize winning opening 91, it is possible to similarly set the pitch rate. Note that the game ball guided to the sorting device 92 becomes a game ball detected by the second count switch 91a.

主制御装置８０は搭載しているプログラムに従って動作して、上述の検出信号などに基づいて遊技の進行に関わる各種のコマンドを生成して払出制御装置８１及びサブ統合制御装置８３に出力する。また主制御装置８０は、図柄表示装置中継端子板９０を介して接続されている第１特別図柄表示装置９、第２特別図柄表示装置１０及び普通図柄表示装置７の表示、第１特別図柄保留数表示装置１８、第２特別図柄保留数表示装置１９、普通図柄保留数表示装置８の点灯を制御する。 The main control device 80 operates in accordance with the installed program, generates various commands related to the progress of the game based on the above-described detection signals and outputs them to the payout control device 81 and the sub integrated control device 83. The main controller 80 also displays the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10, and the normal symbol display device 7 connected via the symbol display device relay terminal board 90, and the first special symbol hold. The lighting of the number display device 18, the second special symbol hold number display device 19, and the normal symbol hold number display device 8 is controlled.

更に、主制御装置８０は、第１大入賞口ソレノイド１４ｂを制御することで第１大入賞口１４の開閉を制御し、第２大入賞口ソレノイド９１ｂを制御することで第２大入賞口９１の開閉を制御し、普通電動役物ソレノイド（図３では普電役物ソレノイドと表記）１２ｂを制御することで普通電動役物１６の開閉を制御し、振分羽根ソレノイド９３ｂを制御することで振分装置９２内の振分羽根９３の開閉を制御する。主制御装置８０からの出力信号は試験信号端子にも出力される他、図柄変動や大当り（特別遊技ともいう）等の管理用の信号が外部接続端子７８に出力されてホールコンピュータ８７に送られる。 Further, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing of the first grand prize opening 14 by controlling the first big prize opening solenoid 14b, and controls the second big prize opening solenoid 91b to control the second big prize opening 91. By controlling the opening / closing of the normal electric accessory 16 (in FIG. 3, the normal electric accessory solenoid) 12b, thereby controlling the opening / closing of the normal electric accessory 16, and by controlling the sorting blade solenoid 93b. The opening and closing of the sorting blade 93 in the sorting device 92 is controlled. The output signal from the main controller 80 is also output to the test signal terminal, and a management signal such as symbol variation and big hit (also called special game) is output to the external connection terminal 78 and sent to the hall computer 87. .

主制御装置８０と払出制御装置８１とは双方向通信が行われ、払出制御装置８１は、主制御装置８０から送られてくるコマンドに応じて払出モータ２０を制御して賞球を払い出す。本実施例においては、賞球として払い出される遊技球を計数するための払出スイッチ２１の検出信号は払出制御装置８１に入力され、払出制御装置８１で賞球の計数が行われる構成を用いる。この他にも主制御装置８０と払出制御装置８１に払出スイッチ２１の検出信号が入力され、主制御装置８０と払出制御装置８１の双方で賞球の計数を行う構成を用いることも考えられる。 The main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 perform two-way communication. The payout control device 81 controls the payout motor 20 in accordance with a command sent from the main control device 80 and pays out a prize ball. In this embodiment, the detection signal of the payout switch 21 for counting game balls to be paid out as prize balls is input to the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 counts the prize balls. In addition, it is also conceivable to use a configuration in which the detection signal of the payout switch 21 is input to the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 and both the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 count the prize balls.

なお、払出制御装置８１はガラス枠開放スイッチ３５、内枠開放スイッチ３６、満杯スイッチ２２、球切れスイッチ２３からの信号が入力され、満杯スイッチ２２により下皿６３が満タンであることを示す信号が入力された場合及び球切れスイッチ２３により球タンクに遊技球が少ないあるいは無いことを示す信号が入力されると払出モータ２０を停止させ、賞球の払出動作を停止させる。なお、満杯スイッチ２２、球切れスイッチ２３も、その状態が解消されるまで信号を出力し続ける構成になっており、払出制御装置８１は、その信号が出力されなくなることに起因して払出モータ２０の駆動を再開させる。 The payout control device 81 receives signals from the glass frame opening switch 35, the inner frame opening switch 36, the full switch 22, and the ball break switch 23, and a signal indicating that the lower plate 63 is full by the full switch 22. And when a signal indicating that there are few or no game balls in the ball tank is input by the ball break switch 23, the payout motor 20 is stopped and the payout operation of the prize ball is stopped. Note that the full switch 22 and the ball break switch 23 are also configured to continue outputting signals until the state is cleared, and the payout control device 81 causes the payout motor 20 to stop being output. Restart the drive.

また、払出制御装置８１はＣＲユニット端子板２４を介してプリペイドカードユニットと交信することで払出モータ２０を作動させ、貸し球を排出する。払出された貸し球は払出スイッチ２１に検出され、検出信号は払出制御装置８１に入力される。なお、ＣＲユニット端子板２４は精算表示基板２５とも双方向通信可能に接続されており、精算表示基板２５には、遊技球の貸出しを要求するための球貸ボタン、精算を要求するための返却ボタン、残高表示器が接続されている。 Also, the payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 20 by communicating with the prepaid card unit via the CR unit terminal plate 24, and discharges the rental balls. The paid-out lending ball is detected by the payout switch 21, and the detection signal is input to the payout control device 81. The CR unit terminal board 24 is also connected to the checkout display board 25 so as to be capable of two-way communication. The checkout display board 25 has a ball rental button for requesting rental of game balls and a return for requesting checkout. Button and balance indicator are connected.

また、払出制御装置８１は、外部接続端子７８を介して賞球に関する情報、枠（内枠、前枠）の開閉状態を示す情報などをホールコンピュータに送信するほか、発射制御装置８４に対して発射停止信号を送信する。なお本実施例では遊技球を払い出す構成であるが、入賞等に応じて発生した遊技球を払い出さずに記憶する封入式の構成にしても良い。 Also, the payout control device 81 transmits information relating to the winning ball, information indicating the open / closed state of the frame (inner frame, front frame), etc. to the hall computer via the external connection terminal 78, and also to the launch control device 84. Send a fire stop signal. In this embodiment, the game balls are paid out. However, the game balls generated in accordance with winnings or the like may be stored without being paid out.

発射制御装置８４は発射モータ３０を制御して遊技球を発射させる。なお、発射制御装置８４には払出制御装置８１以外に発射ハンドルからの回動量信号、タッチスイッチ２８からのタッチ信号、発射停止スイッチ２９から発射停止信号が入力される。回動量信号は、遊技者が発射ハンドルを操作することで出力され、タッチ信号は遊技者が発射ハンドルを触ることで出力され、発射停止スイッチ信号は、遊技者が発射停止スイッチ２９を押すことで出力される。なお、タッチ信号が発射制御装置８４に入力されていなければ、遊技球は発射できないほか、発射停止スイッチ信号が入力されているときには、遊技者が発射ハンドルを触っていても遊技球は発射できないようになっている。 The launch controller 84 controls the launch motor 30 to launch a game ball. In addition to the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84 receives a rotation amount signal from the launch handle, a touch signal from the touch switch 28, and a launch stop signal from the launch stop switch 29. The rotation amount signal is output when the player operates the launch handle, the touch signal is output when the player touches the launch handle, and the launch stop switch signal is generated when the player presses the launch stop switch 29. Is output. If the touch signal is not input to the launch control device 84, the game ball cannot be launched, and if the launch stop switch signal is input, the game ball cannot be launched even if the player touches the launch handle. It has become.

サブ統合制御装置８３（本発明のサブ制御装置に相当）はＣＰＵ、ＲＯＭ、ＲＡＭ等の電気部品を備えており、搭載するＲＯＭに記憶されたプログラムに従ってＣＰＵにて処理を実行し、入力される遊技スイッチ６７ａの入力ならびに主制御装置８０から入力されるコマンドに基づいて演出に関わる各種コマンド等を生成し、演出図柄制御装置８２に出力する。 The sub integrated control device 83 (corresponding to the sub control device of the present invention) includes electrical components such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The CPU executes processing according to a program stored in the mounted ROM, and is input. Based on the input of the game switch 67a and the command input from the main control device 80, various commands related to the effect are generated and output to the effect symbol control device 82.

また、サブ統合制御装置８３には、音量を調節する音量調節スイッチ８３ａが備えられ、音量調節スイッチ８３ａの状態（位置）を検出し、その検出結果とスピーカ６６へ送信する内容とを判断し、スピーカ６６から出力する音量をソフト的に制御するように構成されている。 Further, the sub integrated control device 83 is provided with a volume adjustment switch 83a for adjusting the volume, detects the state (position) of the volume adjustment switch 83a, determines the detection result and the content to be transmitted to the speaker 66, The sound volume output from the speaker 66 is controlled by software.

演出図柄制御装置８２は、サブ統合制御装置８３から受信したデータ及びコマンド（共に主制御装置８０から送信されてきたものとサブ統合制御装置８３が生成したものとがある）に基づいて演出図柄表示装置６を制御して擬似図柄等の演出画像を表示する。尚、サブ統合制御装置８３と主制御装置８０とは間に演出中継端子板６５を介した主制御装置８０からサブ統合制御装置８３への一方向通信回路として構成され、サブ統合制御装置８３と演出図柄制御装置８２とはサブ統合制御装置８３から演出図柄制御装置８２への一方向通信回路として構成されている。 The effect symbol control device 82 displays the effect symbol display based on the data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both those transmitted from the main control device 80 and those generated by the sub integrated control device 83). The device 6 is controlled to display effect images such as pseudo symbols. The sub integrated control device 83 and the main control device 80 are configured as a one-way communication circuit from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 via the production relay terminal board 65. The effect symbol control device 82 is configured as a one-way communication circuit from the sub integrated control device 83 to the effect symbol control device 82.

次に、図４に示した図表を用いて、実施例１のパチンコ機の作動内容について説明する。本実施例におけるパチンコ機は普通電動役物１６の作動契機と作動時間を変化させる開放延長機能を備え、且つ、開放延長機能未作動時では普通電動役物１６の二通りの開放パターンを備えている。詳しくは、普通図柄の当り確率は開放延長機能の作動又は未作動に関係なく常時９５／１００となり、開放延長機能未作動時では、９４／１００の確率で０．２秒１回の第１開放を行い、１／１００の確率で６．０秒１回の第２開放を行う。従って、開放延長機能未作動時であっても１／１００の確率で第２開放が行われた場合は、普通電動役物１６に容易に遊技球を入球させることができる。 Next, the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the chart shown in FIG. The pachinko machine in this embodiment has an opening extension function for changing the operation trigger and the operation time of the ordinary electric accessory 16, and two opening patterns of the ordinary electric accessory 16 when the opening extension function is not operated. Yes. Specifically, the normal symbol hit probability is always 95/100 regardless of whether the extension extension function is activated or not, and when the extension extension function is not activated, the probability of 94/100 is the first release for 0.2 seconds once. The second opening is performed once for 6.0 seconds with a probability of 1/100. Therefore, even when the opening extension function is not activated, if the second opening is performed with a probability of 1/100, it is possible to easily enter the game ball into the ordinary electric accessory 16.

開放延長機能作動時では、普通図柄の１回の当りに対して普通電動役物１６は５．０秒の開放動作を１回行うよう設定されている。また、開放延長機能が作動する遊技状態（開放延長状態）での第１及び第２特別図柄の変動パターン（変動時間）は、開放延長機能が未作動時の遊技状態で使用する変動パターン選択テーブルよりも平均変動時間が短くなるように設定された変動パターン選択テーブルを用いて選択される構成となっている。これにより、開放延長機能作動時の単位時間あたりの特別図柄の変動回数が、開放延長機能未作動時よりも増加する構成（時短状態）となっており、この時短機能は、開放延長機能の作動開始と終了の契機と同じくして作動する。 When the opening extension function is activated, the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to perform the opening operation of 5.0 seconds once for each hit of the normal symbol. The variation pattern (variation time) of the first and second special symbols in the gaming state in which the opening extension function is activated (opening extension state) is a variation pattern selection table used in the gaming state when the opening extension function is not activated. The variation pattern selection table is set to be shorter than the average variation time. As a result, the number of fluctuations of special symbols per unit time when the open extension function is activated is increased (short time state) compared to when the open extension function is not activated. Operates in the same way as start and end.

尚、開放延長機能作動時には、普通図柄の変動時間を短縮（単位時間当りの普通図柄の変動回数が増加）する時短機能も作動する構成となっている。具体的には、開放延長機能未作動時となる通常時の普通図柄の変動時間は６．２秒に設定され、開放延長機能作動時の普通図柄の変動時間は０．７秒に設定されている。これにより、開放延長機能作動時では単位時間当りの普通図柄の変動回数が増加し、普通電動役物の作動契機を大きく増加させている。よって、単位時間当たりの普通電動役物への入球率が増加し、第２特別図柄の変動回数が増える。 It should be noted that when the open extension function is activated, the time reduction function for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (increasing the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time) is also activated. Specifically, the normal symbol fluctuation time when the opening extension function is not activated is set to 6.2 seconds, and the normal symbol fluctuation time when the opening extension function is activated is set to 0.7 seconds. Yes. As a result, when the opening extension function is activated, the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time is increased, and the operation trigger of the ordinary electric accessory is greatly increased. Therefore, the rate of entrance into the ordinary electric accessory per unit time increases, and the number of fluctuations of the second special symbol increases.

本実施例におけるパチンコ機の大当り確率は、第１特図と第２特図とで共通の１／１９９で、特図当否判定に係る確率変動機能は備えていない。小当り確率は、第１特図が１／１００、第２特図が１９８／１９９となり、第２特図が変動（後述する特図当否判定を実施）すると、高確率で小当りに当選する。第１特図が小当りに当選すると、第２大入賞口９１が６．０秒の開放動作を１回行い、第２特図が小当りに当選すると、第２大入賞口９１が６．０秒の開放動作を１回行う。 The jackpot probability of the pachinko machine in this embodiment is 1/199 common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and does not have a probability variation function related to the special figure success / failure determination. The small hit probability is 1/100 for the first special figure, 198/199 for the second special figure, and if the second special figure fluctuates (special figure success / failure determination described later) is performed, the small hit is won with a high probability. . When the first special figure wins the small hit, the second big prize opening 91 performs a release operation of 6.0 seconds once, and when the second special figure wins the big hit, the second big prize winning opening 91 becomes 6. Perform 0 seconds of opening operation once.

第１特図が小当り遊技を行った場合の特定領域９４への入賞確率（表ではＶ入賞率）は、第２大入賞口９１への入球率と振分羽根９３との作動により約１／４となり、第２特図が小当り遊技を行った場合の特定領域９４への入賞確率は、第２大入賞口９１への入球率と振分羽根９３との作動により約１／１６となるように設定されている。 The winning probability (V winning rate in the table) for the specific area 94 when the first special figure has played a small hit game is approximately due to the winning rate to the second big winning opening 91 and the operation of the distribution blade 93. The probability of winning in the specific area 94 when the second special figure has played a small hit game is about 1/2, depending on the rate of entering the second large winning opening 91 and the operation of the distribution blade 93. It is set to be 16.

第１特図が０，２，４，６，８の図柄で大当りすると（５／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が４ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施する。この場合、大当り遊技終了後に時短状態（開放延長状態）には移行しない（４ラウンド時短無図柄）。 If the first special figure is a big hit with a pattern of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (ratio of 5/10), the first big winning opening 14 will open 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds) Or 9 counts). In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (4 rounds short time no symbol).

第１特図が１，３，５，７，９の図柄で大当りすると（５／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が１５ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施し、大当り遊技終了後は特図が９９回の変動を行うまで時短状態（開放延長状態）となる（１５ラウンド時短９９回図柄）。 If the first special figure is a big hit with 1,3,5,7,9 (5/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 will open 15 rounds (one round up to 29.0 seconds) Is released or 9 counts), and after the big hit game is completed, the special figure is in a short time state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds, short 99 symbols).

第２特図が０，４，８の図柄で大当りすると（３／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が４ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施する。この場合、大当り遊技終了後に時短状態（開放延長状態）には移行しない（４ラウンド時短無図柄）。 If the second special figure is a big hit with a design of 0, 4, 8 (ratio of 3/10), the first big prize opening 14 will open 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds open or 9 rounds) Count). In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (4 rounds short time no symbol).

第２特図が１，２，３，５，６，７，９の図柄で大当りすると（７／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が１５ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施し、大当り遊技終了後は特図が９９回の変動を行うまで時短状態（開放延長状態）となる（１５ラウンド時短９９回図柄）。従って、第２特図が図柄大当りした場合の方が第１特図よりも高い割合で大当り遊技終了後に開放延長状態に移行する。 When the second special figure is a big hit with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 (7/10 ratio), the first big winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds (one round maximum) 29.0 seconds open or 9 counts), and after the big hit game ends, it will be in a short time state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (15 rounds short 99 symbols). Therefore, when the second special figure is a big hit in the symbol, the game shifts to the open extended state after the big hit game ends at a higher rate than the first special figure.

第１特図、又は第２特図がＡ，Ｅ，Ｉの図柄で小当り（３／１０の割合）した場合に第２大入賞口９１に入賞した遊技球が特定領域９４に入球し役物大当りが生起すると、第１大入賞口１４が４ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施する。この場合、大当り遊技終了後に時短状態（開放延長状態）には移行しない（４ラウンド時短無図柄）。 When the first special figure or the second special figure is a small hit (a ratio of 3/10) with the A, E, and I symbols, the game ball that won the second big winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94. When a bonus hit of an accessory occurs, the first big winning opening 14 performs a big hit game (opening for a maximum of 29.0 seconds or 9 counts per round) for 4 rounds. In this case, after the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (4 rounds short time no symbol).

第１特図、又は第２特図がＢ，Ｃ，Ｄ，Ｆ，Ｇ，Ｈ，Ｊの図柄で小当り（７／１０の割合）した場合に第２大入賞口９１に入賞した遊技球が特定領域９４に入球し役物大当りが生起すると、第１大入賞口１４が１６ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施し、大当り遊技終了後は特図が９９回の変動を行うまで時短状態（開放延長状態）となる（１６ラウンド時短９９回図柄）。 A game ball that won the second big prize opening 91 when the first special figure or the second special figure is B, C, D, F, G, H, J with a small hit (ratio of 7/10) When a player hits a specific area 94 and a bonus hit occurs, the first big prize opening 14 performs a big hit game (opening up to 29.0 seconds or 9 counts per round), and a big hit game After the completion, it will be in a short time state (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (16 rounds in a short 99 time pattern).

なお、本実施例では、第１特図、第２特図どちらの小当りから役物大当りが生起しても大当り遊技の価値は同じ仕様としているが、発生頻度の低い第１特図の小当りから役物大当りが生起した方が、平均して多いラウンドを付与したり、時短状態が付与される割合を多くして遊技者に有利な設定とすることが考えられる。このようにすれば、通常遊技時、大当りとなる図柄が揃う事を願いつつ、第１特図による小当り遊技が発生すれば、有利な大当り遊技が獲得できるチャンスとなり、非常に期待度の高い遊技とすることができる。無論、逆の不利な設定にすることも考えられ、その場合は、通常遊技時はあくまでも大当り図柄を揃えることを主とし、第１特図の小当りによる役物大当りはあくまでも従の存在として備えることもできる。比較して価値を低くすれば、それだけ本実施例よりも小当り確率を高めたり、特定領域９４への入賞率を高めたりすることもできるようになる。 In this embodiment, the value of the jackpot game is the same regardless of whether the bonus hit occurs from either the first special chart or the second special chart. It is conceivable that the player who wins the big hit from the hit will be given an advantageous setting for the player by giving a large number of rounds on average or by increasing the ratio of the short time state. In this way, when a small hit game according to the first special figure is generated while wishing to have a big hit pattern in a normal game, it will be an opportunity to win an advantageous big hit game, which is highly expected It can be a game. Of course, it may be possible to set it to an adverse disadvantage. In that case, the main bonus is to keep the big hit symbol in the normal game, and the bonus bonus by the small bonus of the first special figure is provided as a subordinate. You can also If the value is lowered in comparison, it is possible to increase the small hit probability or increase the winning rate to the specific area 94 as much as the present embodiment.

作動内容を上記内容に設定することにより、通常遊技（非開放延長状態）では、第１遊技領域３ａに遊技球を流下させることで第１始動口１１への入球に基づく第１特図の抽選をメインに遊技を進行し、第１特図の図柄大当り生起時に５０％の確率で大当り遊技終了後に開放延長状態（時短状態）に移行すれば、第２遊技領域３ｂに遊技球を流下させる第２特図の抽選がメインの遊技となり、移行後は７０％の確率で開放延長状態（時短状態）を継続することになる。 By setting the operation content to the above-described content, in the normal game (non-open extended state), the first special figure based on the entrance to the first start port 11 by causing the game ball to flow down to the first game area 3a. If the game proceeds with the lottery as the main game and the symbol big hit occurs in the first special figure, the game ball will flow down to the second game area 3b if it shifts to the open extended state (short time state) after the big hit game with a probability of 50%. The lottery of the second special figure becomes the main game, and after the transition, the open extended state (short time state) is continued with a probability of 70%.

また、通常遊技（非開放延長状態）では、第１特図の小当りは１／１００で発生し、第２特図の小当りは、普通図柄が１／１００で第２開放（所謂ロング開放）を行った場合に１９８／１９９の確率で生起するため、実質的に約１／１００（普通図柄）で発生する。従って、第１特図、普図ともに１／１００の確率で役物大当りのチャンスが発生するが、小当り遊技時の特定領域９４入賞率は第１特図の小当り時の方が高い設定となるため、その１／１００の当選をどの図柄（第１特図、又は普図）で獲得するかに興趣が生まれる構成となっている。無論、第１特図の小当り確率、普通図柄の第２開放の確率を異ならせることも考えられる。 In a normal game (non-open extended state), the first special figure small hit occurs at 1/100, and the second special figure small hit is 1/100 of the normal symbol and the second open (so-called long open) ) Occurs at a probability of 198/199, it is substantially 1/100 (ordinary symbol). Therefore, chances of winning big bonuses occur with a probability of 1/100 for both the first special figure and the ordinary figure, but the special area 94 winning rate at the time of the small hit game is set to be higher at the small hit of the first special figure. Therefore, it is structured that interest is born in which symbol (first special figure or ordinary figure) to win 1/100 of the winning. Of course, it is also conceivable to make the small hit probability of the first special figure different from the probability of the second opening of the normal symbol.

次に、図５を用いて、主制御装置８０が実行するメインルーチンを説明する。メインルーチンは、約２ｍｓ毎のハード割り込みにより定期的に実行される。本実施形態では、Ｓ１０〜Ｓ７５までの１回だけ実行される処理を「本処理」と称し、この本処理を実行して余った時間内に時間の許す限り繰り返し実行されるＳ８０の処理を「残余処理」と称する。「本処理」は上記割り込みにより定期的に実行されることになる。 Next, a main routine executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S75 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S80 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing this main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

マイコンによるハード割り込みが実行されると、まず正常割り込みであるか否かが判断される（Ｓ１０）。この判断処理は、メモリとしてのＲＡＭの所定領域の値が所定値であるか否かを判断することにより行われ、マイコンにより実行される処理が本処理に移行したとき、通常の処理を実行して良いのか否かを判断するためのものである。正常割り込みでない場合としては、電源投入時又はノイズ等によるマイコンの暴走等が考えられるが、マイコンの暴走は近年の技術の向上によりほとんど無いものと考えて良いので、ほとんどが電源投入時である。電源投入時にはＲＡＭの所定領域の値が所定値と異なる値となっている。 When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. As a case where the interruption is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on, but microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is mostly at power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

Ｓ１０が否定判定、即ち、正常割り込みでないと判断されると（Ｓ１０：ｎｏ）、初期設定(例えば前記メモリの所定領域への所定値を書き込み、特別図柄及び普通図柄を初期図柄とする等のメモリの作業領域への各初期値の書き込み等）が為され（Ｓ１５）、残余処理（初期乱数更新処理（Ｓ８０））に移行する。 When S10 is negative, that is, when it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial setting (for example, a predetermined value is written to a predetermined area of the memory and a special symbol and a normal symbol are used as an initial symbol, etc.) Each initial value is written into the work area (S15) and the like (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (initial random number update process (S80)).

正常割り込みとの肯定判断がなされると（Ｓ１０：ｙｅｓ）、初期値乱数更新処理（Ｓ２０）、大当り決定用乱数更新処理（Ｓ２５）、大当り図柄決定用乱数１更新処理（Ｓ３０）、大当り図柄決定用乱数２更新処理（Ｓ３５）、小当り図柄決定用乱数更新処理（Ｓ４０）、当り決定用乱数更新処理（Ｓ４５）、リーチ判定用乱数更新処理（Ｓ５０）、変動パターン決定用乱数更新処理（Ｓ５５）が行われる。 When an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (S10: yes), initial value random number update processing (S20), big hit determination random number update processing (S25), big hit symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), big hit symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S40), hit determination random number update processing (S45), reach determination random number update processing (S50), fluctuation pattern determination random number update processing (S55) ) Is performed.

続く入賞確認処理（Ｓ６０）では、第１始動口１１、第２始動口１２への入賞、第１大入賞口１４、第２大入賞口９１への入賞、一般入賞口３１への入賞及び第１普通図柄作動ゲート１５、第２普通図柄作動ゲート１７、特定領域９４への入球の確認、及びパチンコ機５０に設けられ主制御装置８０に接続された各スイッチ類の入力処理が実行される。各始動口及び作動口への入賞（入球）確認処理（始動入賞処理）については、図６を用いて後述する。 In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), winning in the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12, winning in the first big winning port 14, second winning port 91, winning in the general winning port 31, 1 normal symbol operation gate 15, second normal symbol operation gate 17, confirmation of entry into a specific area 94, and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 is executed. . The winning (ball winning) confirmation process (start winning process) for each starting port and working port will be described later with reference to FIG.

続いて、当否判定処理（Ｓ６５）、画像出力処理等の各出力処理（Ｓ７０）、不正監視処理（Ｓ７５）を行って、次に割り込み信号が入力されるまでの残余時間内には初期乱数更新処理（Ｓ８０）をループ処理する。 Subsequently, an output determination (S65), an output process such as an image output process (S70), a fraud monitoring process (S75) are performed, and an initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The process (S80) is looped.

次に、図６を用いて、主制御装置８０が実行する始動入賞処理を説明する。本処理は、図５に示した入賞確認処理（Ｓ６０）のサブルーチンの一つとなる（保留記憶手段、先読判定手段、保留記憶数送信手段、入賞信号送信手段を含む）。 Next, the start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is one of the subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S60) shown in FIG. 5 (including a holding storage means, a prefetch determination means, a holding memory number transmission means, and a winning signal transmission means).

以後、第１始動口１１に遊技球が入球したときに格納される保留記憶を第１保留記憶、第２始動口１２に遊技球が入球したときに格納される保留記憶を第２保留記憶、第１普通図柄始動ゲート１５、及び第２普通図柄始動ゲート１７を遊技球が通過したときに格納される保留記憶を普図保留記憶として説明する。なお、本実施例では第１保留記憶の上限数を４個、第２保留記憶の上限数を１個、普図保留記憶の上限数を４個とする。 Thereafter, the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the first start port 11 is the first hold memory, and the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the second start port 12 is the second hold. The holding memory stored when the game ball passes the memory, the first normal symbol starting gate 15 and the second normal symbol starting gate 17 will be described as the normal symbol holding memory. In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of the first reserved memory is four, the upper limit number of the second reserved memory is one, and the upper limit number of the ordinary reserved memory is four.

本処理を開始すると、第１始動口スイッチ１１ａが遊技球を検出したか否か判定する(Ｓ１００)。肯定判定であれば(Ｓ１００：ｙｅｓ）、主制御装置８０に既に格納されている第１保留記憶数が上限数(本実施例では４個)未満であるか否か判定する(Ｓ１０５)。肯定判定であれば(Ｓ１０５：ｙｅｓ）、当否乱数等の各種乱数値（大当り決定用乱数、大当り図柄決定用乱数１，２、小当り図柄決定用乱数、リーチ判定用乱数、変動パターン決定用乱数等）を抽出し、第１保留記憶として主制御装置８０の保留記憶数に応じた記憶領域に格納し、第１保留記憶の数を示す第１保留記憶カウンタに１を加算する(Ｓ１１０)。 When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the first start port switch 11a has detected a game ball (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number already stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (four in this embodiment) (S105). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers (big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers 1, 2, small hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers And the like are stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80, and 1 is added to a first reserved memory counter indicating the number of first reserved memories (S110).

Ｓ１１０に続いては、記憶した第１保留記憶の先読判定を行う（Ｓ１１５）。具体的には、大当り決定用乱数の値が大当りを生起させる値か否かを確認し、大当り値なら大当り図柄の種類を確認する。大当り判定がハズレなら、小当りを生起する値か否かを確認し、小当り値なら小当り図柄の種類を確認する。大当りでも小当りでもないハズレなら、ハズレ図柄の種類を確認する（先読判定手段）。 Subsequent to S110, the prefetch determination of the stored first reserved memory is performed (S115). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit is a value that causes the big hit, and if it is the big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, check whether the value is a value that causes a small hit, and if the big hit value, check the type of the small hit symbol. If it is not a big hit or a small hit, the type of the lost symbol is confirmed (pre-reading judging means).

続いて、Ｓ１１５の先読判定結果に基づいて第１先読判定コマンドを生成してサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ１２０）、Ｓ１１０で加算した第１保留記憶カウンタの値を示す第１保留数指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する（Ｓ１２５）。本実施例では、第１先読判定コマンドと第１保留数指示コマンドとを個別のコマンドとしてサブ統合制御装置８３に送信しているが、この二つのコマンド内容を一つのコマンドに生成してサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する構成も考えられる。 Subsequently, based on the prefetch determination result of S115, a first prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S120), and a first hold indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110. The number instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125). In this embodiment, the first prefetch determination command and the first hold number instruction command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as separate commands. However, the contents of these two commands are generated into one command and the sub command is generated. A configuration for transmitting to the integrated control device 83 is also conceivable.

Ｓ１２５の処理、又はＳ１００、Ｓ１０５の否定判定（Ｓ１００：ｎｏ、Ｓ１０５：ｎｏ）に続いては、第２始動口スイッチ１２ａが遊技球を検出したか否か判定する(Ｓ１３０)。否定判定なら（Ｓ１３０：ｎｏ）Ｓ１６０に進み、肯定判定なら(Ｓ１３０：ｙｅｓ）、主制御装置８０に格納されている第２保留記憶の数が上限数(＝１個)未満か否か判定する(Ｓ１３５)。否定判定なら（Ｓ１３５：ｎｏ）Ｓ１６０に進み、肯定判定であれば(Ｓ１３５：ｙｅｓ）、当否乱数等の各種乱数値（大当り決定用乱数、大当り図柄決定用乱数１，２、小当り図柄決定用乱数、リーチ判定用乱数、変動パターン決定用乱数等）を抽出し、第２保留記憶として主制御装置８０の保留記憶数に応じた記憶領域に格納し、第２保留記憶の数を示す第２保留記憶カウンタに１を加算し（Ｓ１４０）、Ｓ１１５と同様に記憶した第２保留記憶の先読判定を行う（Ｓ１４５）。なお、本実施例では第２保留記憶の上限数を１個としているため、第２保留記憶の有無のみを確認し第２保留記憶が無い時に記憶可能とする構成としてもよい。 Following the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100: no, S105: no), it is determined whether or not the second start port switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If a negative determination is made (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160. If an affirmative determination is made (S130: yes), it is determined whether the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 1). (S135). If a negative determination is made (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160. If an affirmative determination is made (S135: yes), various random values such as success / failure random numbers (a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number 1, 2 and a small hit symbol determination) A random number, a reach determination random number, a fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc.) are extracted and stored as a second reserved memory in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories of the main controller 80, and a second number indicating the number of second reserved memories 1 is added to the hold storage counter (S140), and the pre-reading determination of the second hold storage stored in the same manner as S115 is performed (S145). In this embodiment, since the upper limit number of the second reserved memory is one, only the presence / absence of the second reserved memory may be checked, and the second reserved memory may be stored when there is no second reserved memory.

続いて、Ｓ１４５の判定結果に基づいて第２先読判定コマンドを生成しサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ１５０）、Ｓ１４０で加算した第２保留記憶カウンタの値を示す第２保留数指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信して（Ｓ１５５）Ｓ１６０に進む。 Subsequently, based on the determination result of S145, a second prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S150), and a second hold number instruction command indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S140. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S155), and the process proceeds to S160.

Ｓ１６０では、第１普通図柄作動スイッチ１５ａが遊技球を検出したか否か判定し(Ｓ１６０)、否定判定なら（Ｓ１６０：ｎｏ）、第２普通図柄作動スイッチ１７ａが遊技球を検出したか否か判定し(Ｓ１６５)、否定判定なら（Ｓ１６５：ｎｏ）リターンに抜ける。Ｓ１６０、又はＳ１６５が肯定判定なら(Ｓ１６０：ｙｅｓ、Ｓ１６５：ｙｅｓ）、主制御装置８０に格納されている普図保留記憶数が上限数(＝４個)未満か否か判定する(Ｓ１７０)。否定判定なら（Ｓ１７０：ｎｏ）リターンに抜け、肯定判定であれば(Ｓ１７０：ｙｅｓ）、抽出した当り判定用乱数、当り図柄決定用乱数、普図変動パターン決定用乱数を普図保留記憶として記憶し、普図保留記憶数を示す普図保留記憶カウンタに１を加算し（Ｓ１７５）、加算した普図保留記憶カウンタの値を示す普図保留記憶数指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ１８０）、リターンする。 In S160, it is determined whether or not the first normal symbol operation switch 15a has detected a game ball (S160). If the determination is negative (S160: no), it is determined whether or not the second normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball. If it is determined (S165), if it is a negative determination (S165: no), return to return. If S160 or S165 is an affirmative determination (S160: yes, S165: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved maps stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 4) (S170). If the determination is negative (S170: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S170: yes), the extracted hit determination random number, the hit symbol determination random number, and the normal pattern variation pattern determination random number are stored as the general map hold memory. Then, 1 is added to the general figure hold memory counter indicating the general figure hold memory counter (S175), and a general figure hold memory number instruction command indicating the value of the added general figure hold memory counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S180), return.

サブ統合制御装置８３は第１及び第２保留記憶数指示コマンドを受信すると、受信したコマンドが示す保留記憶数に応じて演出図柄表示装置６上で表示する各保留記憶数を変化させる指示信号を演出図柄制御装置８２に送信する。また、本実施例では、演出図柄表示装置６上では普通図柄の保留記憶数表示は行わないが、普図保留記憶数指示コマンドの受信に応じて表示する構成としてもよいし、普図保留記憶数指示コマンド自体を送信しない構成としてもよい。また、普図の先読判定を実施し判定結果をサブ統合制御装置に送信する構成も考えられる。これにより、普通電動役物１６（第２始動口１２）の第２開放（ロング開放）を期待させる先読予告の実施が可能となる。 When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second reserved memory number instruction commands, the sub integrated control device 83 receives an instruction signal for changing each reserved memory number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the reserved memory number indicated by the received command. This is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol hold memory number display is not performed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to display in response to the reception of the general symbol hold memory number instruction command. A configuration may be adopted in which the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. A configuration is also conceivable in which normal prefetch determination is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device. Accordingly, it is possible to perform a pre-reading notice that expects the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16 (second starting port 12).

次に、図７，８，９を用いて、実施例１において主制御装置８０が実行する普図当否判定処理１を説明する。本処理は、本発明の普図当否判定に相当する処理となる。本処理を開始すると、第２始動口１２となる普通電動役物１６が作動中か否か判定し（Ｓ２００）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ２００：ｙｅｓ）、後述する普電遊技処理（１）に進み、否定判定なら（Ｓ２００：ｎｏ）、普通図柄が変動中か否かを判定し（Ｓ２０５）、変動中でなければ（Ｓ２０５：ｎｏ）、普通図柄の確定図柄表示中であるか否か判定し（Ｓ２１０）、確定表示中でなければ（Ｓ２１０：no）、普図保留記憶が有るか否か判定し（Ｓ２１５）、否定判定なら（Ｓ２１５：ｎｏ）、普電遊技処理に進む。 Next, FIG. 7, 8 and 9 will be used to explain the common-use determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment. This process is a process corresponding to the normal / unusual determination of the present invention. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is in operation (S200). If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process proceeds to a later-described general electric game process (1). If the determination is negative (S200: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S205). If not (S205: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is being displayed. (S210) If it is not in a definite display (S210: no), it is determined whether or not there is a general-purpose hold memory (S215). If a negative determination is made (S215: no), the process proceeds to a general electric game process.

Ｓ２１５が肯定判定、即ち、普図保留記憶があれば（Ｓ２１５：ｙｅｓ）、判定対象となる普図保留記憶のシフト処理を行う（Ｓ２２０）。これにより最も古い普図保留記憶を当否判定の対象とするとともに、保留記憶数を示す普図保留記憶カウンタから１を減算する。 If S215 is affirmative, that is, if there is a general-purpose hold storage (S215: yes), a shift process of the general-purpose hold storage to be determined is performed (S220). As a result, the oldest general-purpose reserved memory is set as a target of the determination of success / failure, and 1 is subtracted from the general-purpose reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories.

続いて、普図当否判定の対象とした普図保留記憶の当り判定用乱数値と、予め設定された当否判定テーブル（９５／１００）とを比較して、判定対象の乱数値が当否判定テーブル内の判定値と一致するか比較する（Ｓ２３０）。 Subsequently, the hit determination random number value of the FIG. Hold storage that is the target of the normal / unusual determination determination is compared with the predetermined determination determination table (95/100), and the random number value to be determined is determined as the correct / incorrect determination table. It is compared with whether or not it matches the determination value (S230).

Ｓ２３０に続いては、比較結果が当り（判定値と同一）であるか否か判定し（Ｓ２４０）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ２４０：ｙｅｓ）、判定対象の当り図柄決定用乱数の値に基づいて普図当り図柄選択処理を行う（Ｓ２４５）。この普図当り図柄選択処理によって決定した当り図柄の種類に基づいて、普通電動役物１６の開放態様が第１開放（０．２秒１回のショート開放）か第２開放（６．０秒１回のロング開放）かが決定される。 Subsequent to S230, it is determined whether or not the comparison result is a hit (same as the determination value) (S240). If the determination is affirmative (S240: yes), it is generally determined based on the value of the determination target hit symbol determination random number. A symbol selection process per symbol is performed (S245). Based on the type of winning symbol determined by the symbol selection process per ordinary symbol, the opening mode of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is either the first opening (one short opening for 0.2 seconds) or the second opening (6.0 seconds). 1 long opening) is determined.

続いて時短フラグを参照して変動パターンを選択する変動パターン選択テーブルを決定し（Ｓ２５０）、普図変動パターン決定用乱数に基づいて普図変動パターン選択処理を行い（Ｓ２５５）、選択した当り図柄および変動パターンに基づいて普通図柄表示装置７上の普通図柄の変動を開始する処理を行い（Ｓ２６０）、普電遊技処理に進む。 Subsequently, a fluctuation pattern selection table for selecting a fluctuation pattern is determined with reference to the time reduction flag (S250), and a normal fluctuation pattern selection process is performed based on a random number for determining a normal fluctuation pattern (S255). Based on the variation pattern, a process for starting the variation of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display device 7 is performed (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

なお、時短フラグは、主制御装置８０が記憶する値であり、値が１なら特別図柄と普通図柄の変動時間が短縮され、尚且つ普通電動役物１６の開放延長機能が作動する時短状態（開放延長状態）であることを、値が０なら非時短状態（非開放延長状態）であることを主制御装置８０が判断する。 The time reduction flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is 1, the change time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the time extension state of the normal electric accessory 16 is activated ( If the value is 0, the main controller 80 determines that it is a non-time-short state (non-open extended state).

Ｓ２４０が否定判定、即ち、比較結果がはずれなら（Ｓ２４０：ｎｏ）、時短フラグを参照して（Ｓ２５０）はずれ変動用の普図変動パターン選択処理を行い（Ｓ２５５）、選択したはずれ図柄および変動パターンに基づいて普通図柄表示装置７上の普通図柄の変動を開始する処理を行い（Ｓ２６０）、普電遊技処理に進む。 If S240 is negative, that is, if the comparison result is out of order (S240: no), referring to the time-short flag (S250), a normal pattern variation pattern selection process for outlier variation is performed (S255), and the selected outlier pattern and variation pattern are selected. Based on the above, a process for starting the variation of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 7 is performed (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

Ｓ２０５が肯定判定、即ち、普通図柄が変動中なら（Ｓ２０５：ｙｅｓ）、図８のフローチャートに進み、普通図柄の変動時間（Ｓ２５５で選択された変動パターンに基づく）が経過したか否か判定する（Ｓ３００）。否定判定なら（Ｓ３００：ｎｏ）、普電遊技処理に進み、肯定判定なら（Ｓ３００：ｙｅｓ）、普通図柄表示装置７を制御して普図の当否判定結果となる普通図柄を確定表示させる普図確定図柄表示処理を行う（Ｓ３０５）。 If the determination in S205 is affirmative, that is, if the normal symbol is changing (S205: yes), the flow proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 8 to determine whether the normal symbol change time (based on the change pattern selected in S255) has elapsed. (S300). If the determination is negative (S300: no), the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process. If the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), the normal symbol display apparatus 7 is controlled to display the normal symbol that is the result of the determination of the normal symbol. A confirmed symbol display process is performed (S305).

Ｓ３０５に続いては、確定表示させた普通図柄が当り図柄か否か判定し（Ｓ３１０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ３１０：ｎｏ）普電遊技処理に進み、肯定判定なら（Ｓ３１０：ｙｅｓ）、時短フラグが０か否か、即ち、通常状態か否か判定し（Ｓ３１５）否定判定なら（Ｓ３１５：ｎｏ）普電遊技処理に進み、肯定判定なら（Ｓ３１５：ｙｅｓ）、当り図柄として確定表示を行う普通図柄の種類が第２開放を実施する当り図柄か否か判定し（Ｓ３２０）否定判定なら（Ｓ３２０：ｎｏ）普電遊技処理に進み、肯定判定なら（Ｓ３２０：ｙｅｓ）、役物大当りのチャンスであることを報知する「Ｖチャレンジ演出」（本発明の特定領域への入球を促す演出に相当）を表示する指示信号をサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ３２５）、普電遊技処理に移行する。Ｖチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドを受信した場合のサブ統合制御装置８３の処理と、実際に演出図柄表示装置６に表示される「Ｖチャレンジ演出」については、図を用いて後述する。 Subsequent to S305, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a winning symbol (S310). If a negative determination is made (S310: no), the process proceeds to a general electric game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S310: yes), a time reduction flag. It is determined whether or not is 0, that is, whether it is a normal state (S315), if negative determination (S315: no), proceed to the general electric game processing, if positive determination (S315: yes), a normal display that confirms as a winning symbol It is determined whether or not the symbol type is a winning symbol for performing the second release (S320). If a negative determination is made (S320: no), the process proceeds to a general electric game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S320: yes), a chance to win a bonus hit An instruction signal for displaying “V challenge effect” (corresponding to the effect of prompting the player to enter a specific area of the present invention) to notify that there is an event is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S325), and the process moves to the ordinary electric game process. To. The processing of the sub integrated control device 83 when the V challenge effect display instruction command is received and the “V challenge effect” actually displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described later with reference to the drawings.

図７に戻り、Ｓ２１０が肯定判定、即ち、普通図柄の確定表示中なら（Ｓ２１０：ｙｅｓ）、図９のフローチャートにすすみ、確定図柄の表示時間が経過したか否か判定し（Ｓ３５０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ３５０：ｎｏ）普電遊技処理に進み、肯定判定なら（Ｓ３５０：ｙｅｓ）、普通図柄表示装置７の確定図柄表示を終了させ（Ｓ３５５）、普電遊技処理へ移行する。 Returning to FIG. 7, if S210 is affirmative, that is, if the normal symbol is being confirmed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 9 to determine whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed (S350). If it is determined (S350: no), the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the fixed symbol display of the normal symbol display device 7 is terminated (S355), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

以上が本実施例において主制御装置８０が実行する普図当否判定処理１となる。本処理では、普通電動役物１６が第２開放を実施する当りが確定（普通図柄の当選に基づいて前記第２開放が行われる場合）すると、Ｖチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する構成としているが、これは、この時点で小当りが高確率で生起する第２特図の変動開始がほぼ確約（普通電動役物１６のロング開放に合わせ第２遊技領域３ｂに遊技球を流下させれば、ほぼ間違いなく第２始動口１２に遊技球が入球する）したことに基づいて行われる処理となる。 The above is the normal / unusual determination processing 1 executed by the main controller 80 in this embodiment. In this process, when the hit of the ordinary electric accessory 16 to perform the second opening is determined (when the second opening is performed based on the winning of the normal symbol), the V challenge effect display instruction command is sent to the sub integrated control device 83. However, at this time, the start of the fluctuation of the second special figure that occurs with a high probability of small hits is almost assured (the game is entered in the second game area 3b in accordance with the long opening of the ordinary electric accessory 16). If the ball is caused to flow down, the processing is performed based on the fact that a game ball has entered the second starting port 12 almost certainly.

Ｖチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドを受信したサブ統合制御装置８３は、通常状態の普通図柄が所定の当り図柄（第２開放図柄）で当たった時点で、第１大入賞口１４が作動する大当りを期待させる演出を実施することになる。この時点は、さらに複数の段階を経る必要はありながらも、大当り（詳しくは第２特図小当りからの役物大当り）生起の期待感が通常状態から一気に大きくなる契機と言える。 The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the V challenge effect display instruction command expects a big hit that the first big winning opening 14 is activated when the normal symbol in the normal state hits the predetermined winning symbol (second open symbol). The production will be implemented. At this point, although it is necessary to go through a plurality of stages, it can be said that the expectation of occurrence of big hit (specifically, big hit from the second special figure small hit) is suddenly increased from the normal state.

次に、図１０，１１に示したフローチャートを用いて、実施例１において主制御装置８０が実行する普電遊技処理１を説明する。本処理は、普図当否判定処理（１）の当り判定に基づいて実施される普通電動役物の作動を制御する処理となり、本発明の作動判定手段を含む処理となる。 Next, the general electric game process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. This process is a process for controlling the operation of the ordinary electric utility performed based on the hit determination in the common-use determination process (1), and is a process including the operation determination means of the present invention.

本処理を開始すると、第２始動口１２となる普通電動役物１６が開放作動中か否か判定し（Ｓ４００）、作動中でなければ（Ｓ４００：ｎｏ）、普通図柄が当り図柄を確定表示しているか判定し（Ｓ４１０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ４１０：ｎｏ）リターンし、肯定判定なら（Ｓ４１０：ｙｅｓ）、時短フラグが０か否か判定し（Ｓ４１５）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ４１５：ｙｅｓ）、確定表示している当り図柄が第１開放（ショート開放）を実施する図柄か否か判定し（Ｓ４２０）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ４２０：ｙｅｓ）、普通電動役物１６が第１開放（０．２秒１回）を行う作動開始処理を行い（Ｓ４２５）リターンし、Ｓ４２０が否定判定なら（Ｓ４２０：ｎｏ）、普通電動役物１６が第２開放（６．０秒１回）を行う作動開始処理を行い（Ｓ４３０）リターンする。Ｓ４１５が否定判定、即ち、時短状態で開放延長機能が作動している場合は（Ｓ４１５：ｎｏ）、普通電動役物１６が開放延長状態の開放動作（５．０秒１回）を行う作動開始処理を行い（Ｓ４３５）リターンする。 When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second start port 12 is in an open operation (S400). If not in an operation (S400: no), the normal symbol is hit and the symbol is confirmed and displayed. If it is negative (S410: no), it returns. If it is affirmative (S410: yes), it is determined whether the time flag is 0 (S415). If it is affirmative (S415: yes). Then, it is determined whether or not the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a symbol that implements the first opening (short opening) (S420). If the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the ordinary electric accessory 16 is first opened (0. The operation start process is performed (one time for 2 seconds) (S425), the process returns, and if S420 is negative (S420: no), the normal electric accessory 16 starts the second opening (one time for 6.0 seconds). Process (S4) 0) to return. When S415 is negative, that is, when the opening extension function is operating in the short time state (S415: no), the normal electric accessory 16 starts the opening operation (once for 5.0 seconds) in the opening extension state. Processing is performed (S435) and the process returns.

Ｓ４００が肯定判定、即ち、普通電動役物が作動中なら（Ｓ４００：ｎｏ）、図１１のフローチャートに進み、作動中の普通電動役物１６に遊技球が１０個入賞したか否か判定し（Ｓ４５０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ４５０：ｎｏ）、普通電動役物１６の作動時間が終了したか否か判定し（Ｓ４５５）、否定判定なら（Ｓ４５５：ｎｏ）リターンする。Ｓ４５０、又はＳ４５５が肯定判定なら（Ｓ４５０：ｙｅｓ、Ｓ４５５：ｙｅｓ）、普通電動役物１６の作動終了処理を行い（Ｓ４６０）リターンする。 If the determination in S400 is affirmative, that is, if the normal electric accessory is in operation (S400: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 11 to determine whether or not ten game balls have won the normal electric accessory 16 in operation ( If a negative determination is made (S450: no), it is determined whether the operating time of the ordinary electric accessory 16 has ended (S455), and if a negative determination is made (S455: no), the process returns. If S450 or S455 is an affirmative determination (S450: yes, S455: yes), the operation termination process of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is performed (S460), and the process returns.

次に、図１２，１３，１４に示したフローチャートを用いて、実施例１において主制御装置８０が実行する特図当否判定処理１を説明する。本処理は、第１保留記憶と第２保留記憶の当否判定及び該当否判定の結果に応じた第１特別図柄又は第２特別図柄の変動表示時間選択、確定図柄選択、大当り遊技の内容設定、大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態設定を行う処理となり、本発明の小当り判定手段を含む。 Next, with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the special figure determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described. This process consists of selecting the first special symbol or the second special symbol depending on the result of the first hold memory and the second hold memory and the result of the appropriateness determination, selecting the variable display time, selecting the fixed symbol, setting the contents of the jackpot game, This is a process for setting the game state after the big hit game ends, and includes the small hit determination means of the present invention.

本処理を開始すると、条件装置が作動中、即ち大入賞口が作動中か否かを判定し（Ｓ５００）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ５００：ｙｅｓ）、リターンし、否定判定なら（Ｓ５００：ｎｏ）、第１又は第２特図が変動中か否かを判定し（Ｓ５０５）、変動中でなければ（５０５：ｎｏ）、第１又は第２特図の確定図柄表示中であるか否か判定し（Ｓ５１０）、確定表示中でなければ（Ｓ５１０：no）、第２保留記憶が有るか否か判定し（Ｓ５１５）、否定判定なら（Ｓ５１５：ｎｏ）、第１保留記憶が有るか否か判定し（Ｓ５２０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ５２０：ｎｏ）リターンし、Ｓ５１５、又はＳ５２０が肯定判定なら（Ｓ５１５：ｙｅｓ，Ｓ５２０：ｙｅｓ）、Ｓ５２５に進む。このＳ５１５とＳ５２０の判定順序により、第２保留記憶が優先的に当否判定を実施する。 When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is in operation, that is, whether the big prize opening is in operation (S500). If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process returns and if the determination is negative (S500: no), It is determined whether the first or second special figure is changing (S505). If not changing (505: no), it is determined whether the first or second special figure is being displayed. (S510) If the confirmation display is not in progress (S510: no), it is determined whether or not there is a second reserved memory (S515). If the determination is negative (S515: no), it is determined whether or not there is a first reserved memory. If the determination is negative (S520: no), the process returns. If S515 or S520 is positive (S515: yes, S520: yes), the process proceeds to S525. According to the determination order of S515 and S520, the second reservation storage preferentially determines whether or not it is correct.

Ｓ５２５では、時短フラグが０か否か判定し（Ｓ５２５）、否定判定、即ち、時短状態及び開放延長状態なら（Ｓ５２５：ｎｏ）、時短状態中の処理を行うが、時短状態では、当否判定結果に応じて選択する変動パターンの選択テーブルが異なるだけとなり従来技術と何ら変わらないため、説明は割愛する。 In S525, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 0 (S525). If the determination is negative, that is, if it is in the time reduction state and the open extension state (S525: no), the processing in the time reduction state is performed. The selection table of the variation pattern to be selected differs depending on the above, and is not different from the prior art.

Ｓ５２５が肯定判定、即ち、通常状態なら（Ｓ５２５：ｙｅｓ）、保留記憶のシフト処理を行う（Ｓ５３０）。これにより最も古い（保留記憶されてから最も時間が経過している）第１又は第２保留記憶を当否判定の対象とするとともに、該当する保留記憶を示す保留記憶カウンタから１を減算する。 If S525 is affirmative, that is, if it is in a normal state (S525: yes), a hold storage shift process is performed (S530). As a result, the first or second hold memory that is the oldest (the most time has elapsed since the hold is stored) is set as the determination result, and 1 is subtracted from the hold storage counter indicating the corresponding hold storage.

続く、大当り判定用乱数比較処理では、特図当否判定の対象とした保留記憶の大当り判定用乱数と予め設定された当否判定テーブルとを比較して、大当り判定用乱数の値が当否判定テーブル内の判定値と一致するか比較する（Ｓ５３５）。 In the subsequent big hit determination random number comparison process, the big hit determination random number in the reserved memory that is the target of the special figure determination is compared with the preset determination table, and the value of the big hit determination random number is stored in the determination table. It is compared whether it matches the determination value (S535).

続くＳ５４０では、Ｓ５３５の結果が大当り（大当り判定値と同一）であるか否か判定する。肯定判定なら（Ｓ５４０：ｙｅｓ）、図柄モード設定処理を行う（Ｓ５４５）。図柄モード設定処理では、判定対象となる第１又は第２保留記憶の大当り図柄決定用乱数１に基づいて、大当り遊技の内容と大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態（通常状態、時短，開放延長状態）を決定する図柄モードを設定する。 In subsequent S540, it is determined whether or not the result of S535 is a big hit (same as the big hit determination value). If it is affirmation determination (S540: yes), a symbol mode setting process will be performed (S545). In the symbol mode setting process, the content of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game is ended (normal state, short time, open extended state) based on the random number 1 for determining the big hit symbol in the first or second reserved memory to be determined Set the symbol mode to determine

続いて、設定した図柄モードの種類と大当り図柄決定用乱数２に基づいて大当り図柄選択処理を行う（Ｓ５５０）。これは、図柄モードの設定によって決定した大当り遊技の種類を大当り図柄によって報知するために、図柄モードの種類毎に設定された図柄郡の中から確定表示する大当り図柄を決定する処理となる。 Subsequently, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the jackpot symbol determination random number 2 (S550). This is a process of determining a jackpot symbol to be determined and displayed from among the symbol groups set for each type of symbol mode in order to notify the jackpot game type determined by the symbol mode setting by the jackpot symbol.

次にＳ５４５で設定した図柄モードに基づいてモードバッファ設定処理を行う（Ｓ５５５）。モードバッファは当否判定時に確定した大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態の内容を、該遊技状態を設定する大当り遊技終了時まで記憶する装置である（大当り遊技中は遊技状態を設定する確変フラグ、時短フラグをクリアする必要があるため）。モードバッファとしては、具体的な遊技内容は記憶せず、具体的な遊技内容に対応した値を記憶する構成となっている。 Next, a mode buffer setting process is performed based on the symbol mode set in S545 (S555). The mode buffer is a device for storing the contents of the game state after the end of the big hit game determined at the time of determination of the success / failure until the end of the big hit game for setting the game state (the probability change flag for setting the game state during the big hit game, the time reduction flag) Because it is necessary to clear). The mode buffer is configured not to store specific game contents but to store values corresponding to specific game contents.

次に、Ｓ５４５で設定した図柄モードに基づいて大当り遊技の内容となる第１大入賞口１４の開放パターン設定処理を行い（Ｓ５６０）、当否判定の対象とした第１又は第２保留記憶のリーチ決定用乱数および変動パターン決定用乱数に基づいて、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は第２特別図柄表示装置１０、及び演出図柄表示装置６に表示する図柄の変動時間となる変動パターンを選択する変動パターン選択処理を行う（Ｓ５６５）。 Next, based on the symbol mode set in S545, an opening pattern setting process of the first big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S560), and the reach of the first or second reserved memory as the object of the determination of success / failure Based on the determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number, the variation for selecting the variation pattern that becomes the variation time of the symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 and the effect symbol display device 6 Pattern selection processing is performed (S565).

続いて、選択した大当り図柄および変動パターンの情報を、変動指示コマンドとしてサブ統合制御装置８３へ送信する（Ｓ５７０）。この情報を受信したサブ統合制御装置８３からの指示に基づいて、演出図柄制御装置８２は演出図柄表示装置６を制御し、第１又は第２特別図柄の大当り図柄及び変動パターンの情報に基づいた擬似図柄の演出変動表示を開始する。サブ統合制御装置８３への送信とほぼ同時に、主制御装置８０は、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は第２特別図柄表示装置１０を直接制御して特別図柄の変動を開始する。 Subsequently, the information of the selected jackpot symbol and variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction command (S570). On the basis of the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 and is based on the information on the jackpot symbol and the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol. The pseudo-pattern production variation display is started. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

Ｓ５４０が否定判定、即ちハズレなら（Ｓ５４０：ｎｏ）、Ｓ５３５の比較処理の結果が小当りであるか否か判定する（Ｓ５８０）。本実施例では、第１特別図柄の小当り確率は１／１００に設定され、第２特別図柄は１９８／１９９と高確率に設定されている（ほぼ毎回小当り当選）。Ｓ５８０が肯定判定なら（Ｓ５８０：ｙｅｓ）、遊技状態、及び小当り図柄決定用乱数に基づいて小当り図柄を選択し（Ｓ５８５）、続いて当否半手の対象とした特図の種類に基づいて第２大入賞口９１の開放パターン設定処理を行い（Ｓ５６０）、小当り図柄に対応する前述した変動パターン選択処理を行い（Ｓ５６５）、小当り図柄および変動パターンの情報となる変動指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３へ送信する（Ｓ５７０）。この情報を受信したサブ統合制御装置８３からの指示に基づき演出図柄制御装置８２は演出図柄表示装置６を制御し、小当り図柄および変動パターンの情報に基づいた第１又は第２特図に対応した演出図柄の変動表示を開始する。サブ統合制御装置８３への送信とほぼ同時に、主制御装置８０は、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は、第２特別図柄表示装置１０を直接制御して特別図柄の変動を開始する。 If S540 is negative, i.e., lost (S540: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison processing in S535 is a small hit (S580). In the present embodiment, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is set to 1/100, and the second special symbol is set to a high probability of 198/199 (almost every time a small hit is won). If S580 is affirmative (S580: yes), a small hit symbol is selected based on the gaming state and the random symbol for determining the small hit symbol (S585), and then, based on the type of the special symbol that is the target of the winning / failing hand. The opening pattern setting process of the second big winning opening 91 is performed (S560), the above-described variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S565), and the variation instruction command serving as the information on the small hit symbol and the variation pattern is sub The data is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and corresponds to the first or second special symbol based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. The variation display of the effected design is started. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbols.

Ｓ５８０が否定判定なら（Ｓ５８０：ｎｏ）、ハズレ図柄を選択し（Ｓ５９０）、続いてハズレ図柄に対応する変動パターン設定処理を行い（Ｓ５６５）、ハズレに関する図柄及び変動パターンの情報となる変動指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３へ送信する（Ｓ５７０）。この情報を受信したサブ統合制御装置８３からの指示に基づき演出図柄制御装置８２は演出図柄表示装置６を制御し、ハズレ図柄および変動パターンの情報に基づいた擬似図柄の変動表示を開始する。サブ統合制御装置８３への送信とほぼ同時に主制御装置８０は、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は第２特別図柄表示装置１０を直接制御して特別図柄の変動を開始する。 If S580 is negative (S580: no), a lost symbol is selected (S590), then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S565), and a variation instruction command that becomes information on the symbol and variation pattern regarding the loss. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts the fluctuating display of the pseudo symbol based on the information of the lost symbol and the fluctuation pattern. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start the variation of the special symbol.

次に、Ｓ５０５が肯定判定、即ち、特別図柄の変動中であれば（Ｓ５０５：ｙｅｓ）、図１３のフローチャートに進み、特別図柄の変動時間（Ｓ５６５で選択された変動パターンに基づく）が経過したか否か判定する（Ｓ６００）。否定判定なら（Ｓ６００：ｎｏ）リターンし、肯定判断なら（Ｓ６００：ｙｅｓ）、確定コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は第２特別図柄表示装置１０を制御してＳ５５０，Ｓ５８５又はＳ５９０で選択した確定図柄を確定表示させる（Ｓ６０５）。確定コマンドを受信したサブ統合制御装置８３は演出図柄制御装置８２に予め選択されていた擬似図柄を確定表示させる指示信号を送信し、演出図柄制御装置８２は、その信号に応じて演出図柄表示装置６を制御して擬似図柄を確定表示させる。これにより、第１又は第２特別図柄と擬似図柄の変動の開始と終了とが同じタイミングになる（同期する）。 Next, if S505 is affirmative, that is, if the special symbol is changing (S505: yes), the flow proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13 and the special symbol change time (based on the change pattern selected in S565) has elapsed. Whether or not (S600). If a negative determination is made (S600: no), a return is made. If an affirmative determination is made (S600: yes), a confirmation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled. Then, the confirmed symbol selected in S550, S585 or S590 is confirmed and displayed (S605). The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the confirmation command transmits an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the pre-selected pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82 responds to the signal by the effect symbol display device. 6 is controlled and the pseudo-design is displayed. As a result, the start and end of the fluctuation of the first or second special symbol and the pseudo symbol become the same timing (synchronized).

Ｓ６０５に続いては、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は第２特別図柄表示装置１０で確定表示させた第１又は第２特別図柄が大当り図柄か否か判定し（Ｓ６１０）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ６１０：ｙｅｓ）、確定図柄の表示設定処理（確定図柄で表示させておく時間の設定）を行い（Ｓ６１５）、時短フラグが１か否か判定し（Ｓ６２０）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ６２０：ｙｅｓ）、時短フラグに０をセットし（Ｓ６２５）、Ｓ６２５、又はＳ６２０の否定判定（Ｓ６２０：ｎｏ）に続いては、条件装置作動開始処理（Ｓ６３０）と、役物連続作動装置作動開始処理（Ｓ６３５）とを行うことで大当り遊技を開始し、大当り開始演出指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ４５０）、大当りフラグに１をセットする（Ｓ６４３）。 Subsequent to S605, it is determined whether or not the first or second special symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is a big hit symbol (S610). If the determination is affirmative (S610). : Yes), display setting processing of a fixed symbol (setting time to be displayed in a fixed symbol) is performed (S615), it is determined whether or not the time flag is 1 (S620), and if affirmative (S620: yes), After the hour flag is set to 0 (S625), the negative determination of S625 or S620 (S620: no) is followed by the condition device operation start processing (S630), the accessory continuous operation device operation start processing (S635), The big hit game is started, a big hit start production instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S450), and a big hit flag is set to 1 (S643).

一方、Ｓ６１０が否定判定、即ち、確定図柄が大当りでなければ（Ｓ６１０：ｎｏ）、確定図柄の表示設定処理（確定図柄で表示させておく時間の設定）を行い（Ｓ６５０）、時短フラグが１か否か判定し（Ｓ６５５）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ６５５：ｙｅｓ）、時短カウンタからデクリメントし（Ｓ６６０）、時短カウンタが０か否か判定し（Ｓ６６５）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ６６５：ｙｅｓ）、時短フラグに０をセットする（Ｓ６７０）。Ｓ６５５からＳ６７０によって、特別図柄が当否判定に応じたハズレ確定表示を行うごとに、時短（開放延長）状態を規制する時短カウンタが計数され、これらのカウンタが所定値に至ることで遊技状態が変化（時短（開放延長）状態が終了し通常状態（通常開放状態）に移行）する。 On the other hand, if the determination in S610 is negative, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S610: no), display setting processing for the confirmed symbol (setting of the time to display with the confirmed symbol) is performed (S650), and the time reduction flag is 1. Whether or not (S655: yes), the time counter is decremented (S660), whether or not the time counter is 0 (S665), and if it is affirmative (S665: yes), the time is shortened. The flag is set to 0 (S670). From S655 to S670, every time the special symbol performs a loss confirmation display according to the determination of success / failure, a time reduction counter that regulates the time reduction (open extension) state is counted, and the gaming state changes when these counters reach a predetermined value. (Time-short (open extended) state ends and shifts to normal state (normally open state)).

続いて、Ｓ６７０、又はＳ６５５，Ｓ６６５が否定判定なら（Ｓ６５５：ｎｏ，Ｓ６６５：ｎｏ）、確定表示された特別図柄が小当り図柄か否かを判定し（Ｓ６７５）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ６７５：ｙｅｓ）、第１特図の小当りか否か判定し（Ｓ６８０）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ６８０：ｙｅｓ）、役物大当りのチャンスであることを報知する「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を表示する指示信号をサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する（Ｓ６８５）。このＳ６８５で指示する演出表示は、図７，８，９を用いて説明した普図当否判定処理１のＳ３２５で表示指示を行った演出表示と共通内容となる。 Subsequently, if S670 or S655, S665 is a negative determination (S655: no, S665: no), it is determined whether the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol (S675), and if it is an affirmative determination (S675: yes). ), It is determined whether or not the first special figure is a small hit (S680). If the determination is affirmative (S680: yes), the instruction signal for displaying the “V challenge effect” for notifying that the chance to win a bonus is displayed. The data is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 (S685). The effect display instructed in S685 has the same content as the effect display instructed to display in S325 of the common figure determination processing 1 described with reference to FIGS.

この第１特図の小当り時（第１特別図柄の小当り当選に基づいて小当り遊技が行われる場合）は、第２遊技領域３ｂへの遊技球の発射により第２大入賞口９１に入賞した遊技球が約１／４の入賞確率で特定領域９４に入球するため、Ｓ３２５の時点に比べ役物大当りが生起するまでのステップ数が少なく、役物大当りが生起する期待感がより身近に迫った感覚となる。 At the time of a small hit of the first special figure (when a small hit game is performed based on the small special winning of the first special symbol), the game ball is launched into the second game area 3b to the second big winning opening 91. Since the winning game ball enters the specific area 94 with a winning probability of about ¼, the number of steps until the bonus hit is reduced is smaller than that at the time of S325, and the sense of expectation that the bonus hit will occur more. It feels close to you.

Ｖチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドを受信したサブ統合制御装置８３は、Ｓ３２５によりＶチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドを受信した場合と共通の演出表示を演出図柄表示装置６に表示するが、共通演出の詳細については図を用いて後述する。 The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the V challenge effect display instruction command displays an effect display common to the case where the V challenge effect display instruction command is received in S325 on the effect symbol display device 6. For details of the common effect, see FIG. This will be described later with reference to the drawings.

Ｓ６８５に続いては、第１特図の小当り遊技の作動を開始する第１特図小当り遊技設定処理を行い（Ｓ６９０）、Ｓ６８０が否定判定なら（Ｓ６８０：ｎｏ）、第２特図の小当り遊技の作動を開始する第２特図小当り遊技設定処理を行う（Ｓ６９５）。なお、通常遊技状態で第２特図が小当りしたなら（普図のロング開放当りから普通電動役物１６への入賞を経た役物大当りを生起させるまでの一連の遊技の途中となる）、「Ｖチャレンジ演出」の継続を指示するコマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する。Ｓ６９０又はＳ６９５に続いては、小当りフラグに１を設定する（Ｓ６９８）。Ｓ６９８，Ｓ６４３、又はＳ６７５の否定判定（Ｓ６７５：ｎｏ）に続いては、上記処理の結果に基づく遊技状態を示す状態指定コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ６４５）リターンする。 Subsequent to S685, the first special figure small hit game setting process for starting the operation of the first special figure small hit game is performed (S690), and if S680 is negative (S680: no), The second special figure small hit game setting process for starting the operation of the small hit game is performed (S695). In addition, if the second special figure hits a small hit in the normal gaming state (because it is in the middle of a series of games from the long opening of the normal figure until the occurrence of the big hit of the bonus through the prize for the ordinary electric accessory 16) A command for instructing the continuation of the “V challenge effect” is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Subsequent to S690 or S695, the small hit flag is set to 1 (S698). Following the negative determination in S698, S643, or S675 (S675: no), a state designation command indicating the gaming state based on the result of the above process is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), and the process returns.

図１２に戻り、Ｓ５１０が肯定判定、即ち、確定図柄の表示中なら（Ｓ５１０：ｙｅｓ）、図１４のフローチャートに進み、確定図柄表示時間が経過したか否か判定し（Ｓ７００）、否定判定なら（Ｓ７００：ｎｏ）リターンし、肯定判定なら（Ｓ７００：ｙｅｓ）、確定図柄表示終了処理（Ｓ７０５）を行い、第１特別図柄表示装置９又は第２特別図柄表示装置１０を制御して特別図柄の確定表示を終了させ、サブ統合制御装置８３に疑似図柄の確定表示を終了させる指示を行う。 Returning to FIG. 12, if S510 is affirmative, that is, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S510: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has passed (S700). (S700: no) Return, and if it is affirmative (S700: yes), a fixed symbol display end process (S705) is performed, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled to display the special symbol. The confirmation display is ended, and an instruction is given to the sub integrated control device 83 to end the confirmation display of the pseudo symbol.

次に、図１５から図２１を用いて、実施例１において主制御装置８０が実行する特別遊技処理１を説明する。本処理を開始すると、大当りフラグの値が０か否か判定する（Ｓ８００）。肯定判定なら（Ｓ８００：ｙｅｓ）、小当りフラグの値が０か否か判定する（Ｓ８０５）。肯定判定なら（Ｓ８０５：ｙｅｓ）リターンし、否定判定、即ち小当り遊技中なら（Ｓ８０５：ｎｏ）、図１６のＳ８５０に進む。 Next, the special game process 1 executed by the main controller 80 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the value of the big hit flag is 0 (S800). If the determination is affirmative (S800: yes), it is determined whether or not the value of the small hit flag is 0 (S805). If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), the process returns. If the determination is negative, that is, if a small hit game is being played (S805: no), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG.

If it is negative (S1085: no), the process returns. If it is affirmative (S1085: yes), the first big prize opening. 14 is released (S1090) and the process returns.

Ｓ１０６５が否定判定なら（Ｓ１０６５：ｎｏ）、大当り開始演出処理を行ない（Ｓ１０８０）、リターンする。大当り開始演出処理（Ｓ１０８０）ではサブ統合制御装置８３へ大当り開始コマンドを送信する。 If S1065 is negative (S1065: no), a big hit start effect process is performed (S1080), and the process returns. In the big hit start effect process (S1080), a big hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.

Ｓ１０５０が肯定判定なら（Ｓ１０５０：ｙｅｓ）、図２０のフローチャートに進み、第１大入賞口１４への入賞が規定数である９個を満たしたか否か判定し（Ｓ１１００）、否定判定なら（Ｓ１１００：ｎｏ）、第１大入賞口１４の開放時間が終了したか否か判定する（Ｓ１１０５）。否定判定なら（Ｓ１１０５：ｎｏ）リターンし、肯定判定なら（Ｓ１１０５：ｙｅｓ）又はＳ１１００が肯定判定なら（Ｓ１１００：ｎｏ）、第１大入賞口１４の閉鎖処理を行い（Ｓ１１１０）、大当り遊技の最終ラウンドが終了したか否か判定する（Ｓ１１１５）。肯定判定なら（Ｓ１１１５：ｙｅｓ）、大当り終了演出処理を行い（Ｓ１１２０）リターンし、否定判定なら（Ｓ１１１５：ｎｏ）、開放間インターバル処理を行ない（Ｓ１１２５）、リターンする。 If S1050 is an affirmative determination (S1050: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 20 to determine whether or not the number of winnings to the first big winning opening 14 has satisfied a prescribed number of nine (S1100), and if it is a negative determination (S1100). : No), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended (S1105). If the determination is negative (S1105: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1105: yes) or if the determination of S1100 is affirmative (S1100: no), the first big winning opening 14 is closed (S1110). It is determined whether or not the round has ended (S1115). If the determination is affirmative (S1115: yes), a big hit end effect process is performed (S1120) and the process returns. If the determination is negative (S1115: no), the interval process between releases is performed (S1125) and the process returns.

大当り終了演出処理（Ｓ１１２０）ではサブ統合制御装置８３へ大当り終了コマンドを送信し、開放間インターバル処理（Ｓ１１２５）では、同様にインターバルコマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する。大当り終了コマンド又はインターバルコマンドを受信したサブ統合制御装置８３側では演出図柄制御装置８２の制御により演出図柄表示装置６に演出が表示される。 In the big hit end effect process (S1120), a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and in the interval processing between releases (S1125), the interval command is similarly transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the big hit end command or the interval command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

図１９に戻り、Ｓ１０６０が肯定判定なら、即ち大当り終了演出中であれば（Ｓ１０６０：ｙｅｓ）、図２１のフローチャートに進み、大当り終了演出の終了時間か否か判定し（Ｓ１１５０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ１１５０：ｎｏ）リターンする。Ｓ１１５０が肯定判定なら（Ｓ１１５０：ｙｅｓ）、役物連続作動装置停止処理（Ｓ１１５５）、条件装置作動停止処理（Ｓ１１６０）を行い、設定されているモードバッファを参照し（Ｓ１１６５）、参照したモードバッファの内容に基づいて時短フラグと時短カウンタを設定し（Ｓ１１７０、Ｓ１１７５）、モードバッファをクリアし（Ｓ１１８０）、終了コマンドと、大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態を指示する状態指定コマンドとをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ１１８５、Ｓ１１９０）、大当りフラグに０をセットして（Ｓ１１９５）リターンする。 Returning to FIG. 19, if S1060 is affirmative determination, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S1060: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 21 to determine whether it is the end time of the big hit end effect (S1150). (S1150: no) It returns. If S1150 is affirmative (S1150: yes), an accessory continuous operation device stop process (S1155), a condition device operation stop process (S1160) are performed, the set mode buffer is referenced (S1165), and the referenced mode buffer Based on the contents of the game, the time flag and the time counter are set (S1170, S1175), the mode buffer is cleared (S1180), and the end command and the state designation command for instructing the game state after the end of the big hit game are sub-integrated control The data is transmitted to the device 83 (S1185, S1190), the big hit flag is set to 0 (S1195), and the process returns.

次に、図２２に示したフローチャートを用いて、サブ統合制御装置８３が実行する保留数指示コマンド受信処理を説明する。本処理を開始すると、保留数指示コマンドを受信したか否か判定する（Ｓ１２００）。否定判定なら（Ｓ１２００：ｎｏ）、リターンし、肯定判定なら（Ｓ１２００：ｙｅｓ）、サブ統合制御装置８３が備える第１保留数カウンタ又は第２保留カウンタに受信した保留数指示コマンドの種類に応じて＋１し（Ｓ１２０５）、演出図柄制御装置８２に保留数表示信号を送信し（Ｓ１２１０）、リターンする。保留数カウンタの値は、後述する変動指示コマンド受信処理において変動指示コマンドを受信するごとにデクリメントされる。これにより、絶えず主制御装置８０が記憶する保留記憶の数と同一数が管理される。 Next, the hold number instruction command reception process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. When this process is started, it is determined whether a hold number instruction command is received (S1200). If the determination is negative (S1200: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1200: yes), depending on the type of the hold count instruction command received by the first hold count counter or the second hold counter included in the sub integrated control device 83. +1 (S1205), a hold number display signal is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1210), and the process returns. The value of the hold count counter is decremented each time a change instruction command is received in a change instruction command reception process described later. As a result, the same number as the number of reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is managed.

なお、混合機の特性上、第２特図に保留記憶機能を備えると、時短遊技が終了した後も保留個数分の小当りが発生する可能性が生じる。特定領域９４への入賞率は第２特図の方でも比較して高いため、これを避けようとするならば、第２特図には保留記憶を備えないことが望ましい。ただし、本実施例の遊技性では、第１特図が変動表示している時に普通図柄の第２開放が行なわれる可能性があり、その場合に第２特図の抽選が行なえない可能性がある。それを回避するために第２保留記憶の機能を備えることにより第２特図の抽選の機会を確保することができる。なお、上記のような目的で保留記憶機能を備える場合は、第１特図に比べて少ない保留上限個数で備えれば、上記した保留個数分の小当りが発生する問題も回数を抑えることができて好適となる。 In addition, due to the characteristics of the mixer, if the second special figure has a holding memory function, there is a possibility that a small hit for the number of holdings will occur even after the short-time game has ended. Since the winning rate for the specific area 94 is higher than that of the second special figure, if it is intended to avoid this, it is desirable that the second special figure does not have a reserved memory. However, in the gameability of the present embodiment, there is a possibility that the second special symbol may be released when the first special figure is variably displayed. In this case, there is a possibility that the lottery of the second special figure cannot be performed. is there. In order to avoid this, it is possible to secure the opportunity for the lottery of the second special drawing by providing the second holding memory function. If the reserve storage function is provided for the purpose as described above, if the reserve upper limit number is smaller than that in the first special figure, the number of small hits for the number of reserves can be reduced. This is preferable.

次に、図２３に示したフローチャートを用いて、サブ統合制御装置８３が実行する変動指示コマンド受信処理を説明する。本処理は、主制御装置８０からＳ５７０の処理に基づく変動指示コマンドを受信したことに応じて、演出図柄表示装置６に表示する演出態様を選択し、演出図柄制御装置８２に表示制御を指示する処理となる。 Next, the change instruction command reception process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process selects an effect mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 in response to receiving the change instruction command based on the process of S570 from the main control device 80, and instructs the effect symbol control device 82 to perform display control. It becomes processing.

本処理を開始すると、変動指示コマンドを受信したか否か判定する（Ｓ１２５０）。否定判定なら（Ｓ１２５０：ｎｏ）リターンし、肯定判定なら（Ｓ１２５０：ｙｅｓ）、振分乱数を抽出し（Ｓ１２５５）、サブ統合制御装置８３が備える保留球数カウンタから−１すると共に、受信した変動指示コマンドとＳ１２５５で抽出した振分乱数の値に基づいて、サブ統合制御装置８３が複数備える演出変動態様の中から、演出図柄表示装置６に表示する演出変動態様を選択し（Ｓ１２６０）、選択した演出変動態様の表示を開始する指示信号を演出図柄制御装置８２に送信して（Ｓ１２６５）リターンする。 When this process is started, it is determined whether or not a change instruction command has been received (S1250). If the determination is negative (S1250: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1250: yes), a random number is extracted (S1255). Based on the instruction command and the value of the distribution random number extracted in S1255, an effect change mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the effect change modes provided in the sub integrated control device 83 (S1260). The instruction signal for starting the display of the effect variation mode is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1265), and the process returns.

次に、図２４に示したフローチャートを用いて、サブ統合制御装置８３が実行するＶチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンド受信処理を説明する。Ｖチャレンジ演出表示は、本発明の特定領域への入球を促す演出に相当する。本処理を開始すると、Ｖチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドを受信したか否か判定する（Ｓ１３００）。否定判定なら（Ｓ１３００：ｎｏ）リターンし、肯定判定なら（Ｓ１３００：ｙｅｓ）、演出図柄表示装置６にＶチャレンジ演出を表示する指示信号を演出図柄制御装置８２に送信して（Ｓ１３０５）リターンする。 Next, the V challenge effect display instruction command receiving process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. The V challenge effect display corresponds to an effect that prompts entry into a specific area of the present invention. When this process is started, it is determined whether or not a V challenge effect display instruction command has been received (S1300). If the determination is negative (S1300: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1300: yes), an instruction signal for displaying the V challenge effect on the effect symbol display device 6 is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1305), and the process returns.

次に、図２５，２６を用いて、実施例１における上述したＶチャレンジ演出を含む演出表示例を説明する。図２５（１）は、通常状態における特別図柄変動時の演出図柄表示装置６画面の基本構成となり、画面中央に擬似図柄表示領域が配置され、画面下部左に第１保留記憶数表示領域、その右に１個の保留図柄が表示可能な第２保留記憶数表示領域が配置されている。第１保留記憶数表示領域には第１保留記憶を表す保留図柄が最高４個まで表示される。擬似図柄表示領域では、左中右の擬似図柄が特別図柄の変動時間に応じて変動表示を実施する。 Next, with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, an effect display example including the V challenge effect described above in the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 25 (1) shows the basic configuration of the effect symbol display device 6 screen at the time of special symbol change in the normal state, a pseudo symbol display area is arranged at the center of the screen, the first reserved memory number display area at the bottom left of the screen, A second reserved memory number display area capable of displaying one reserved symbol is arranged on the right. Up to four reserved symbols representing the first reserved memory are displayed in the first reserved memory number display area. In the pseudo-symbol display area, the left, right, and right pseudo-symbols perform variable display according to the variation time of the special symbol.

図２５（２）は、第１特図の小当り時に、主制御装置８０が実行する特図当否判定処理１のＳ６８５（図１３）により送信されたＶチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドの受信に基づいて実施される「Ｖチャレンジ演出」の表示例となる。具体的な表示内容は、画面中央に「Ｖチャレンジ」の文字列を記載したプレートを表示し、その上部に「右打ち」と右向きの矢印を２度表示することで第２遊技領域３ｂへの遊技球の発射を強く促し、画面右上にキャラクタ（熊の達吉）を表示し、画面右下に擬似小当り図柄を縮小して確定表示している。 FIG. 25 (2) is based on the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted in S685 (FIG. 13) of the special figure success / failure determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 when the first special figure is a small hit. This is a display example of the “V challenge production” to be performed. Specifically, the display content is displayed in the center of the screen with a plate with the character string “V-challenge” on it, and “right-handed” and a right-pointing arrow are displayed twice on the top of the plate. The game ball is strongly urged to fire, a character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, and a pseudo small hit symbol is reduced and confirmed in the lower right corner of the screen.

図２５（３）は、普通図柄が第２開放を行う当り時に、主制御装置８０が実行する普図当否判定処理１のＳ３２５（図８）により送信されたＶチャレンジ演出表示指示コマンドの受信に基づいて実施される「Ｖチャレンジ演出」の表示例となる。（２）と異なるのは、画面右下部には変動中の擬似図柄が表示される点のみであり、それ以外は共通内容の演出表示となる。 FIG. 25 (3) shows the reception of the V-challenge effect display instruction command transmitted in S325 (FIG. 8) of the normal / bad determination process 1 executed by the main control device 80 when the normal symbol makes the second release. This is a display example of “V challenge production” performed based on this. The difference from (2) is only that the fluctuating pseudo symbol is displayed in the lower right part of the screen, and other than that, the effect display is common contents.

このように、第１特図の小当り時と普通図柄の第２開放を行う当り時で、演出表示を見ればどちらによるＶチャレンジか判別可能な構成としても良いし、演出表示上は判別困難に構成してもよい。ただし、該演出が行なわれてから普通電動役物１６が作動するか第１大入賞口１４が動作するかで直ぐ判別可能なため、判別困難な時間は短時間である。短時間ではあるが一瞬でも第１特図の小当りと思わせるだけで遊技者の期待は膨らむため、期待度の高い演出とすることができる。判別可能な構成でも、直ぐにはどちらで発生した演出なのか分り難くすることで（例えば、判別可能な箇所が極小さい）、同様に期待度の高い演出とすることができる。 In this way, it is possible to determine which V-challenge is determined by looking at the effect display at the time of small hit of the first special figure and the second opening of the normal symbol, and it is difficult to distinguish on the effect display. You may comprise. However, since it can be determined immediately after the performance is performed whether the ordinary electric accessory 16 operates or the first big prize opening 14 operates, the difficult time is short. Even though it is a short period of time, the player's expectation swells just by making it seem like a small hit of the first special figure even for a moment, so that it is possible to produce a highly expected performance. Even with a discriminable configuration, it is difficult to tell which production has occurred immediately (for example, the part that can be discriminated is extremely small), so that it is possible to produce a production with high expectation as well.

図２６（４）は、（３）の状態（普通図柄が第２開放図柄で当選）から第２始動口１２（普通電動役物１６）に遊技球が入球し、高確率で生起する第２特図の小当りに当選した時点の表示例となり、この場合は主制御装置８０が実行する特図当否判定処理１のＳ６９５（図１３）により送信されたＶチャレンジ演出の継続を指示する信号の受信に基づいて当該演出表示が実施され、見た目には、普図の第２開放当選から「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を継続して実施している状況となる。 FIG. 26 (4) shows that the game ball enters the second starting port 12 (ordinary electric accessory 16) from the state (3) (the normal symbol is won with the second open symbol), and occurs with a high probability. 2 is a display example at the time of winning the special figure win, and in this case, a signal instructing the continuation of the V challenge effect transmitted in S695 (FIG. 13) of the special figure success / failure determination process 1 executed by the main controller 80 The display of the effect is performed based on the reception, and the appearance is a situation in which the “V challenge effect” is continuously performed from the usual second open win.

具体的な表示内容は、「Ｖチャレンジ」のプレートと「右打ち矢印」表示は図２５（３）と同一だが、プレート上部に「大入賞口（下）が開放します。そのまま右打ちを継続してください」の文字列が表示される。 Specifically, the “V Challenge” plate and the “Right-handed arrow” display are the same as those in FIG. 25 (3), but the “Big prize opening (bottom) will open at the top of the plate. Please do "is displayed.

図２６（５）は、小当り遊技時に特定領域９４に遊技球が入球した時点の演出表示例となる。この場合、画面中央に大きく「Ｖ」の表示と、画面上部に「Ｖチャレンジ成功！」の文字列と、笑顔のキャラクタ（熊の達吉）を表示している。なお、この表示は、第１特図の小当り時と第２特図の小当り時とで共通となる。 FIG. 26 (5) shows an example of an effect display when a game ball enters the specific area 94 during the small hit game. In this case, a large “V” is displayed at the center of the screen, a character string “V Challenge Success!” And a smiling character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) are displayed at the top of the screen. This display is common to the small hit of the first special figure and the small hit of the second special figure.

図２６（６）は、普通電動役物１６の第２開放（ロング開放）実施時に、遊技球を入球させられなかった場合の表示例となる。普図が第２開放を行う図柄で当選した場合は、図２５（３）で示したように第２特図が小当りとなることを前提として演出表示を実施するが、第２開放を実施する普通電動役物１６に入球させることができなければ（第２特図を変動させることができなければ）、図例のチャレンジ失敗演出を表示する。 FIG. 26 (6) is a display example in the case where the game ball cannot be entered when the second opening (long opening) of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is performed. When the regular figure is won with the symbol that opens the second, as shown in Fig. 25 (3), the second special figure will be displayed on the premise that the second special figure will be a small hit, but the second opening is implemented If it is not possible to enter the ordinary electric accessory 16 (if the second special figure cannot be changed), the challenge failure effect shown in the figure is displayed.

具体的には、画面中央に大きく「×」を表示し、その上部に「Ｖチャレンジ失敗」の文字列と、残念な表情をしたキャラクタ（熊の達吉）を表示している。なお、小当り遊技が実施されても特定領域９４に遊技球を入球させることができなかった場合も同様の表示演出を行ってもよい（第１特図小当り、第２特図小当り共用可）。その場合、普通電動役物１６への入球失敗と、第１特図小当り及び第２特図小当りで特定領域９４への入球失敗とで共通の表示演出を行う構成となる。 Specifically, a large “x” is displayed at the center of the screen, and a character string “V challenge failed” and a character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) with an unfortunate expression are displayed at the top. Even if a small hit game is executed, a similar display effect may be performed even if a game ball cannot be entered in the specific area 94 (first special figure small hit, second special figure small hit). Can be shared). In this case, a common display effect is provided for the failure to enter the normal electric accessory 16 and the failure to enter the specific area 94 in the first special figure small hit and the second special figure small hit.

次に、図２７に示した図表により、第１特図と第２特図の遊技状態における変動テーブルの設定内容を説明する。
第１特図は、通常遊技状態の時は第１変動テーブル１が設定されている。平均変動時間は約１２秒である。本実施例の遊技構成は、通常遊技状態では第１特図での当否判定が遊技のメインとなるため、この第１変動テーブル１で変動時間が選択されることになる。そのため、他の変動テーブルよりも豊富な変動パターンを備える事が望ましい。平均では約１２秒だが１２０秒のリーチなどが選択可能になっている。
なお、通常遊技状態ではメインとなることから、第１変動テーブル１だけでなく、複数の変動テーブルを備えておいてもよい。大当り遊技後の変動回数に応じて変動テーブルを切替えていけば、リーチの発生率や平均変動時間を変化させていくことができる。また、従来技術であるが、保留記憶数に応じて変動テーブルを切替えることも考えられる。従来のように、保留記憶数が多数ある時（例えば３個以上）は平均変動時間の短い変動テーブルに切り替えれば時間当たりの変動回数を増やすことができる。また、平均変動時間が短いということでリーチ発生率を抑えて保留記憶の消化ペースを上げさせることができる。 Next, the setting contents of the variation table in the gaming state of the first special figure and the second special figure will be described with reference to the chart shown in FIG.
In the first special figure, the first variation table 1 is set in the normal gaming state. The average variation time is about 12 seconds. In the gaming configuration of the present embodiment, in the normal gaming state, whether or not to win in the first special figure is the main game, so the variation time is selected in the first variation table 1. For this reason, it is desirable to have more variation patterns than other variation tables. The average is about 12 seconds, but a reach of 120 seconds can be selected.
In addition, since it becomes main in the normal gaming state, not only the first variation table 1 but also a plurality of variation tables may be provided. If the change table is switched according to the number of changes after the big hit game, the reach occurrence rate and the average change time can be changed. Moreover, although it is a prior art, changing a fluctuation | variation table according to the number of pending storages is also considered. As in the prior art, when there are a large number of reserved memories (for example, 3 or more), the number of fluctuations per hour can be increased by switching to a fluctuation table with a short average fluctuation time. Further, since the average fluctuation time is short, the reach occurrence rate can be suppressed and the digestion rate of the reserved memory can be increased.

図２８に示した図は、演出図柄表示装置６での表示例であり、図２８（１）は第１変動テーブル１が選択されている時の表示例である。
一般的な通常遊技時の表示例であり、第１特図、第２特図に対応する擬似図柄（演出図柄とも表記）を表示し、第１特図の保留記憶の個数を第１保留記憶表示領域に保留図柄（第１保留図柄）の数によって個数を示し、第２特図の保留記憶の個数を第２保留記憶表示領域に保留図柄（第２保留図柄）の数によって示している。
ただし、第２保留記憶が発生するのは時短状態が殆どであり、時短状態では第２特図は短時間変動しか行なわず（後述する）、保留記憶可能数も１個であるため、そもそも表示しなくてもよい。また、時短状態の時は第１保留図柄も表示しなくてもよい。あくまでも第２遊技領域３ｂに打ち出して第２特図での当否判定がメインの遊技であるため、第２遊技領域３ｂを狙って打っていない状況を解消するためにも演出を控えた方が良いためである。同様に擬似図柄での変動演出も行なわなくてよい。 The diagram shown in FIG. 28 is a display example on the effect symbol display device 6, and FIG. 28 (1) is a display example when the first variation table 1 is selected.
It is a display example at the time of a general normal game, and displays a pseudo symbol (also expressed as an effect symbol) corresponding to the first special diagram and the second special diagram, and the number of the reserved memory of the first special diagram is the first reserved memory The number is indicated by the number of reserved symbols (first reserved symbols) in the display area, and the number of reserved memories of the second special symbol is indicated by the number of reserved symbols (second reserved symbols) in the second reserved memory display area.
However, in most cases, the second reserved memory is generated in the short-time state. In the short-time state, the second special figure changes only for a short time (described later), and the number of hold-storable is one. You don't have to. Further, the first reserved symbol may not be displayed when the time is short. It is better to refrain from directing in order to eliminate the situation where the player does not hit the second game area 3b because the determination of whether or not the second game area 3b is hit is the main game. Because. Similarly, it is not necessary to perform a fluctuating effect with a pseudo symbol.

第１変動テーブル２は、時短状態に選択される変動テーブルで、平均変動時間は０．６秒となる。時短状態は第２特図で発生する小当りで役物大当りを目指すのが主目的となるため、第１特図の変動は極短時間で終了させることにより、第２特図での抽選遊技を早く開始させることができるようになる。 The first variation table 2 is a variation table that is selected in the short time state, and the average variation time is 0.6 seconds. In the short-time state, the main goal is to aim for a big hit with a small hit that occurs in the second special figure. Therefore, the lottery game in the second special figure is completed by ending the fluctuation of the first special figure in a very short time. Can be started early.

図２８（２）は、第１変動テーブル２が選択されている時の表示例である。
図では時短状態を「達吉ＲＵＳＨ」と称している。また、時短状態の演出表示としてキャラクタ（熊の達吉）を表示している。なお、第１特図に対応するように画面右下に擬似図柄を表示して抽選結果を表示するようにしているが、第１変動テーブル２の平均変動時間は０．６秒のため、表示していても抽選結果は判別困難であるため、表示しない構成でもよい。また、第１保留図柄についても上記したように表示しなくてもよい。 FIG. 28 (2) is a display example when the first variation table 2 is selected.
In the figure, the time-short state is referred to as “Tatsuyoshi RUSH”. In addition, a character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) is displayed as an effect display in a short time state. In addition, a pseudo-symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen so as to correspond to the first special figure, and the lottery result is displayed. However, since the average fluctuation time of the first fluctuation table 2 is 0.6 seconds, it is displayed. However, since the lottery result is difficult to discriminate, it may be configured not to be displayed. Further, the first reserved symbol may not be displayed as described above.

続いて第２特図の変動テーブルについて説明する。第２変動テーブル１は通常状態に設定される。平均変動時間は１２秒に設定される。これは第１特図の第１変動テーブル１と同じ平均変動時間であり、通常状態は第１特図でも第２特図でも同じような感覚を与えるためである。そのため、演出表示としても第１特図同様に図２８（１）でよい。
無論、異ならせても問題なく、とくに第２特図は高確率で小当りとなるため、「Ｖチャレンジ」として図２５（２）と同様の演出を行うことも考えられる。 Next, the variation table of the second special figure will be described. The second variation table 1 is set to a normal state. The average fluctuation time is set to 12 seconds. This is because the average fluctuation time is the same as that of the first fluctuation table 1 of the first special figure, and the normal state gives the same feeling to both the first special figure and the second special figure. Therefore, FIG. 28 (1) may be used as the effect display as in the first special figure.
Of course, there is no problem even if they are different. In particular, since the second special figure is a small hit with a high probability, it is possible to perform the same effect as FIG. 25 (2) as a “V challenge”.

第２変動テーブル２は、時短状態の１から４０変動まで選択される変動テーブルである。
推奨する遊技方法で遊技を行えば、略この期間に役物大当りが行なわれる遊技構成であるため、リズムよく短時間で大当りが連なっていく感覚を与えるために平均変動時間を０．６秒にしている。これは、第２特図が高確率で小当りすることから擬似図柄で変動演出を見せる必要がないことも一因である。 The second fluctuation table 2 is a fluctuation table selected from 1 to 40 fluctuations in the short-time state.
If you play with the recommended gaming method, it is a game structure in which the big hits are performed almost during this period, so the average fluctuation time is set to 0.6 seconds to give a sense that the big hits continue in a short time with a good rhythm. ing. This is partly because the second special figure hits with high probability and does not need to show a fluctuating effect with a pseudo pattern.

図２８（３）は、第２変動テーブル２が選択されている時の表示例である。
図では、第２特図が変動開始するとキャラクタ（熊の達吉）がジャンプして「Ｖ」という図柄に飛びつこうとする。「Ｖ」に飛びついたタイミングが小当りの発生を示し、遊技者はそのタイミングに打ち出すことにより第２大入賞口９１の開放に間に合うようにしている。
このように第２特図は小当りか大当りのみであるため、擬似図柄で演出する必要はなく、また平均変動時間も短いため小当り遊技のタイミングを報知する程度の演出に留めている。 FIG. 28 (3) shows a display example when the second variation table 2 is selected.
In the figure, when the second special figure starts to fluctuate, the character (Tatsuyoshi Bear) jumps and tries to jump to the symbol “V”. The timing of jumping to “V” indicates the occurrence of a small hit, and the player hits the timing so as to be in time for the opening of the second big winning opening 91.
As described above, since the second special figure has only a small hit or a big hit, it is not necessary to produce an effect with a pseudo symbol, and since the average variation time is short, the effect is limited to an indication of the timing of the small hit game.

第２変動テーブル３は、時短状態の４１から９０変動まで選択される変動テーブルであり、平均変動時間を３０秒に設定している。
推奨する遊技方法で遊技を行えば、この期間まで役物大当りが発生しないという状況は極稀な状況であり、第１特図で抽選を行っていたり（第１遊技領域３ａに発射を続けている）、変則打ちを行って小当りしても第２大入賞口９１に入賞させないようにしたりしている可能性があるため、平均変動時間を３０秒である長時間にすることにより、時間当たりの変動消化数を抑えて、少しでも早く推奨する遊技に切り替えてもらえるようにすることを目的とする。 The second fluctuation table 3 is a fluctuation table selected from 41 to 90 fluctuations in the short-time state, and the average fluctuation time is set to 30 seconds.
If you play with the recommended gaming method, the situation that no big hits will occur until this period is a rare situation, and lottery is being performed in the first special figure (continue firing in the first gaming area 3a In other words, even if a small hit is made, there is a possibility that the second big prize opening 91 will not be awarded, so the average fluctuation time is set to a long time of 30 seconds. The purpose is to reduce the number of hits and change the game to the recommended game as soon as possible.

図２９（１）は、第２変動テーブル３が選択されている時の表示例である。
図では、キャラクタ（熊の達吉）の動きで小当りのタイミングを演出しつつも、画面の上下に、黄色と黒色の警戒色で警告表示を行い、「右打ちしてください！」と推奨する打ち出し位置を表示する。
なお、第２変動テーブル３では１変動が長時間（３０秒）であることから、変動演出や異常遊技の報知や警告を行なうだけでなく、正しい遊技の流れや正しい遊技方法を説明する説明表示を行う事が考えられる。例えばぱちんこ遊技そのものを良く知らない外国の旅行客などのために、改めて基本的な遊技の説明を行えば、トラブルを抑えることができる。 FIG. 29A is a display example when the second variation table 3 is selected.
In the figure, while the timing of the small hit is produced by the movement of the character (Tatsuyoshi Bear), warnings are displayed in yellow and black warning colors at the top and bottom of the screen, and the recommended launch is "Please make a right strike!" Display position.
In the second variation table 3, since one variation is a long time (30 seconds), not only a variation effect or abnormal game notification or warning is given, but also an explanation display for explaining the correct game flow and the correct game method. Can be considered. For example, for foreign tourists who do not know pachinko games themselves, troubles can be reduced by explaining basic games anew.

第２変動テーブル４は、時短状態の９１から９９変動まで選択される変動テーブルであり、平均変動時間を２０秒に設定している。第２変動テーブル３の期間を超えても役物大当りが発生していないことから、平均変動時間を延ばしても改善がみられないということで第２変動テーブル３よりも短く設定している。 The second fluctuation table 4 is a fluctuation table selected from 91 to 99 fluctuations in the short time state, and the average fluctuation time is set to 20 seconds. Since a bonus hit is not generated even if the period of the second variation table 3 is exceeded, the improvement is not seen even if the average variation time is extended.

図２９（２）は、第２変動テーブル４が選択されている時の表示例である。
図では、第２変動テーブル３から継続して警戒色にて警告表示を行いつつ時短状態の残り変動回数と「変則打ちはおやめください」を表示している。
第２変動テーブル４が選択されるには時短状態で９０変動以上抽選を行う必要があり、極めて異常な状態であることから、変則打ちと見做して警告することが考えられる。また、遊技方法が分らず行っているとはこの地点では考え難いことから、遊技説明などを行う必要もないため、平均変動時間を短めに設定している。このように、混合機において、推奨する遊技方法では怒り難い状況を抑止するために第２変動テーブル３、４を設ける事が考えられる。
なお、本実施例では時短状態時の第２特図の変動テーブルを３つとしたが、最低第２変動テーブル２と３があれば上記目的を達することができる。また、逆に３つ以上設けて段階的に警告をおこなっていったり、警告を行なう変動期間を複数（第１回を５〜１０変動の間だけ長時間の変動テーブルを設定し、第２回を２５〜３０の間に設定する）設けたりすることも考えられる。 FIG. 29 (2) is a display example when the second variation table 4 is selected.
In the figure, the remaining number of fluctuations in the short-time state and “Please stop anomaly hitting” are displayed while displaying warnings in warning color continuously from the second fluctuation table 3.
In order to select the second variation table 4, it is necessary to draw lots of 90 variations or more in a short time state, and since it is an extremely abnormal state, it can be considered that a warning is given as an irregular strike. Also, since it is difficult to think that the game method is being performed at this point, it is not necessary to give a description of the game, so the average fluctuation time is set short. As described above, in the mixing machine, it is conceivable to provide the second variation tables 3 and 4 in order to suppress a situation in which it is difficult to get angry with the recommended game method.
In the present embodiment, there are three variation tables of the second special figure in the time-short state. However, if there are at least the second variation tables 2 and 3, the above object can be achieved. On the contrary, three or more are provided to give warnings in stages, or a plurality of fluctuation periods for warnings are set (the first time is a long-time fluctuation table for 5 to 10 fluctuations, and the second time It is also conceivable to set a value between 25 and 30).

このようにすることにより、推奨する遊技方法で遊技を行えば、第２特図は短時間で変動していくため、短時間で多くの大当りを得る機会が与えられ、変則的な遊技方法で遊技を行えば、極端に変動時間が長くなるため、その間に遊技方法を修正したり、又は敢えて行っている遊技者には変動効率が悪くなるため抑止力となり、また、なかなか時短状態が消化されないことにより第３者の認知力を高め、変則的な遊技を抑止することが可能となる。 By doing this, if you play with the recommended game method, the second special figure will change in a short time, so you will be given the opportunity to get a lot of big hits in a short time, with an irregular game method If you play a game, the fluctuation time will become extremely long, so it will be a deterrent because the fluctuation efficiency will be worse for those who modify the game method during that time, or deliberately, and the short time state will not be digested easily By doing this, it becomes possible to increase the cognitive ability of a third party and suppress irregular games.

なお、時短状態の４１〜〜９９変動の間に第１特図が変動した際には、図２９（３）に示す表示を行うことが考えられる。変動テーブルとしては第１変動テーブル２のままだが、演出表示上では第２特図の表示内容と合わせて警告を行なうことが考えられる。
時短状態であり、変動数もかなり進んでいる状態で第１特図が変動する状況は、変則的な遊技をしている証拠にも成り得るため、より強い警告表示や警報を行なうことも考えられる。 In addition, when the first special figure fluctuates between 41 to 99 in the short-time state, the display shown in FIG. 29 (3) may be performed. Although the first variation table 2 remains as the variation table, it is conceivable to give a warning together with the display content of the second special figure on the effect display.
The situation in which the first special figure fluctuates in a state where the time is short and the number of fluctuations is considerably advanced can also be evidence of irregular games, so it is also possible to give a stronger warning display and warning It is done.

以上が実施例１の説明となる。本実施例の遊技仕様とすることにより、通常遊技状態（非時短（非開放延長）状態）では、普図を変動させながら第１特図を変動させる遊技（第１大入賞口１４又は第２大入賞口９１の作動を目指す）がメインとなり、第１特図の大当り終了時に５０％の確率で時短（開放延長）状態になると、時短状態中は第２特図を変動させる遊技がメインとなり、第２特図が時短状態中に図柄大当り又は役物大当りすれば７０％の確率で時短状態を継続することになる。 The above is the description of the first embodiment. By adopting the game specifications of the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-short-time (non-open extension) state), a game (first first prize opening 14 or second game) in which the first special figure is changed while changing the normal figure. The main goal is to activate the winning prize opening 91), and when the first special figure hits the big hit, there is a 50% chance that the time will be shortened (open extension), and the game will change the second special figure during the short time state. If the second special figure hits the symbol big hit or the big hit in the short time state, the short time state is continued with a probability of 70%.

また、通常遊技状態では、第１特図の小当りが１／１００の確率で生起するとともに、普図が１／１００で第２開放を行う図柄で当選し第２特図の当否判定が行われれば、第２特図は１９８／１９９で小当りに当選するため、第２特図の小当りも通常状態時に変動を行う普図の当否判定に対して実質１／１００で生起することになる。そのため、役物大当りを目指す小当り（本実施例における「Ｖチャレンジ」）は、第１特図、第２特図ともに図柄の種類は第１特図と普図とで異なるが実質１／１００で発生する。 In the normal gaming state, the first special figure has a 1/100 chance of winning, and the normal figure is 1/100 and the second opening is selected to determine whether the second special figure is successful. In this case, since the second special figure wins a small hit at 198/199, the small special hit of the second special figure will also occur at a substantial 1/100 against the determination of whether or not the normal figure changes in the normal state. Become. Therefore, for the small hits ("V Challenge" in this embodiment) aiming at the big hit of the feature, the type of the pattern differs between the first special figure and the normal figure for both the first special figure and the second special figure, but substantially 1/100. Occurs.

時短状態での小当り時の特定領域９２への入賞率は約１／１６に設定されているため、時短９９回付与されても早い段階で役物大当りすることになる。
本実施例では時短４０回までには役物大当りが発生するとして、４０回までは第２特図の変動時間を短く設定し、リズムよく大当りが連なるようにしている。しかし、４０回を超えると変則的な遊技を行っている可能性があるため平均変動時間を長くし、変則的な遊技方法で変動回数を重ねていくのを抑止して、役物大当りを得られないまま時短状態が終わることを防ぐように設定するから、遊技者に不利益を与えないようにするとともに意識して変則打ちを行っている者に対しても抑止力を発揮する。
このようにすることで、一つの時短状態で、リズムよく大当りが連なっていく遊技感覚で遊技できる期間と、一回一回の小当りをゆっくり行なわれる遊技感覚で遊技できる期間とが創出される。また、ただ遊技感覚を異ならせる効果だけでなく、ある程度の変動回数に達した場合は変則的な遊技を抑止する機能も果たすことができるようになる。 Since the winning rate to the specific area 92 at the time of the small hit in the time-saving state is set to about 1/16, even if 99 times of the time-shortening is given, the bonus hits at an early stage.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the bonus hits occur up to 40 times in a short time, and the variation time of the second special figure is set to be short until 40 times so that the big hits continue with good rhythm. However, if it exceeds 40 times, there is a possibility of playing irregular games, so the average fluctuation time is lengthened, and it is suppressed that the number of fluctuations is repeated with an irregular game method, and a bonus hit is obtained. Since it is set so as to prevent the short-time state from ending without being done, it will not detriment to the player and will also exert deterrent power against those who are consciously making irregular beatings.
By doing this, in one short time state, a period in which a game can be played with a big rhythm and a game sensation with a long rhythm, and a period in which a game can be played with a game sensation that is performed slowly once at a time is created. . In addition to the effect of changing the game sensation, a function of suppressing irregular games can be achieved when a certain number of fluctuations is reached.

次に、実施例２を説明する。実施例２におけるパチンコ遊技機を構成する部品とその電気的接続は実施例１と共通であり、特別に説明のない部分については共通内容であり重複する説明は割愛する。
実施例１と異なるのは、普図の当否判定確率に高確率と通常確率を設けた点と、普図当り時の普通電動役物１６の開放パターンを遊技状態と関係なく共通とした点となる。具体的な変更点を図３０から図３５を用いて説明する。 Next, Example 2 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the second embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same as the contents, and redundant descriptions are omitted.
The difference from the first embodiment is that a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of determining whether or not a normal figure is present, and that the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of a normal figure is made common regardless of the gaming state. Become. Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS.

図３０は、実施例２のパチンコ機の作動内容を示している。実施例１の図４の図表と異なるのは、「普通図柄当り確率（図表の一番下の欄）」の項目内容となり、本実施例では、普図当否判定の確率には通常確率と高確率とがあり、どちらの普図当否確率でも普図が当選すれば普通電動役物１６が５．０秒の開放を１回行う構成となっている。 FIG. 30 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a probability, and if the ordinary figure is won at any probability of normal or not, the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens 5.0 seconds once.

なお、普図当否確率は、時短（開放延長）状態への移行と同一の契機で変化する。詳しくは、時短（開放延長）状態では高確率（１００／１００）で普図当否判定を行い、非時短（非開放延長）状態では通常確率（１／１００）で普図当否判定を行う。 Note that the probability of normal / unusual change changes at the same timing as the transition to the short-time (open extension) state. Specifically, in the short-time (open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-short time (non-open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a normal probability (1/100).

図３１、３２は、実施例２において主制御装置８０が実行する普図当否判定処理２を示すフローチャートとなる。実施例１で説明した普図当否判定処理１と異なるのは、普図の当否判定確率に通常確率と高確率との２種類を備え、普図確変フラグの値に応じてどちらかの確率で普図当否判定を行う点と、通常状態（時短フラグ＝０、普図確変フラグ＝０）で普図当否判定が当選すると、無条件でサブ統合制御装置８３に「Ｖチャレンジ演出」表示指示コマンドを送信する点となる（実施例１では普図当否判定が第２開放当選時のみ送信）。 FIGS. 31 and 32 are flowcharts showing the common-use determination processing 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment. The difference from the normal map success / failure determination process 1 described in the first embodiment is that there are two types of normal map success / failure determination probabilities, a normal probability and a high probability, depending on the value of the general map probability variation flag. When the normal figure winning / notifying determination is won in the normal state (short time flag = 0, universal figure probability changing flag = 0), the “V challenge effect” display instruction command is unconditionally given to the sub integrated control device 83. (In the first embodiment, it is transmitted only when the determination of whether or not a normal figure is won is the second open win).

具体的には、普図当否判定処理２では、普図当否判定処理１のＳ２２０に相当する保留記憶シフト処理（図２８、Ｓ１３７０）を行うと、（普図）確変フラグが０か否か判定し（Ｓ１３７５）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ１３７５：ｙｅｓ）、通常状態で用いる低確率判定テーブルを用いて普図判定用乱数の比較処理を行い（Ｓ１３８０）、否定判定なら（Ｓ１３７５：ｎｏ）、高確率（時短、開放延長）状態で用いる高確率判定テーブルを用いて普図判定用乱数の比較処理を行う（Ｓ１３８５）。 More specifically, in the normal map success / failure determination process 2, when the hold memory shift process (FIG. 28, S 1370) corresponding to S220 of the general map correct / failure determination process 1 is performed, it is determined whether or not the (normal map) probability change flag is 0. If (S1375), if affirmative determination (S1375: yes), comparison processing of random numbers for common figure determination is performed using the low probability determination table used in the normal state (S1380), if negative determination (S1375: no), high probability Using the high probability determination table used in the (time reduction, open extension) state, the routine determination random number comparison process is performed (S1385).

また、普図当否判定処理１の図８に相当する普図当否判定処理２の図３２では、確定表示した普図が当り図柄であれば（Ｓ１４６０：ｙｅｓ）、時短フラグが０か否か判定し（Ｓ１４６５）、肯定判定、即ち、通常遊技状態なら（Ｓ１４６５：ｙｅｓ）、役物大当りのチャンスであることを報知する「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を表示する指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する（Ｓ１４７０）。 Further, in FIG. 32 of the normal figure success / failure determination process 2 corresponding to FIG. 8 of the normal figure success / failure determination process 1, if the fixed figure displayed is the winning symbol (S1460: yes), it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 0. If it is affirmative (S1465: yes), an instruction command for displaying a “V challenge effect” for notifying that it is a chance to win a bonus is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S1470).

本実施例では、普図当否判定処理２実施時の判定確率を判断するために（普図）確変フラグを用いたが、時短フラグの値に基づいて確率（時短フラグ＝０なら低確率、時短フラグ＝１なら高確率）を判断してもよい。 In the present embodiment, the probability variation flag is used to determine the determination probability at the time of the execution of the normal / unusual determination process 2 (general), but the probability (low time, short time if the short time flag = 0) based on the value of the short time flag. If flag = 1, high probability) may be determined.

普通図柄の当否判定が確率変動を行うことにより、実施例１のように第１開放（ショート）と第２開放（ロング）とを備える必要がなくなり、通常状態で普図が当選した場合は毎回「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を実施することができる。 By determining whether the normal symbol is successful or not, it is not necessary to provide the first opening (short) and the second opening (long) as in the first embodiment, and every time the normal drawing is won in the normal state. "V challenge production" can be implemented.

図３３は、実施例２において主制御装置８０が実行する普電遊技処理２となり、実施例１の普電遊技処理１とは異なり、普図当り図柄確定表示時に通常状態であれば、通常状態普電作動開始処理を行うことで（Ｓ１５１５）、普通電動役物１６は常に１種類の開放パターンを実施する。本実施例では、開放延長状態と非開放延長状態とで普通電動役物１６の開放パターンを共通の５．０秒としているため、遊技状態に拘わらず（時短フラグの値を判定することなく）普電作動開始処理を行ってもよい。 FIG. 33 shows the ordinary electric game process 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment. Unlike the ordinary electric game process 1 in the first embodiment, if the normal state is displayed at the time of the symbol fixed display per universal figure, the normal state By performing the ordinary electric operation starting process (S1515), the ordinary electric accessory 16 always performs one kind of opening pattern. In the present embodiment, the open pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is set to 5.0 seconds which is common in the open extended state and the non-open extended state, so regardless of the game state (without determining the value of the time reduction flag) You may perform a general electric operation start process.

図３４は、実施例２において主制御装置８０が実行する特別遊技処理２のフローチャートの一部となり、実施例１で説明した特別遊技処理１の図２１に相当し、詳しくは、大当り遊技の終了時の処理となり、特図当否判定時に当選時の遊技状態と大当り図柄、又は小当り図柄によって決定した大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態を設定する処理となる。 FIG. 34 is a part of a flowchart of the special game process 2 executed by the main controller 80 in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 21 of the special game process 1 described in the first embodiment. Specifically, the end of the big hit game This is a process of setting the game state after the end of the big hit game determined by the game state at the time of winning and the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol at the time of determining whether or not to win the special figure.

実施例１の特別遊技処理１と異なるのは、Ｓ１５７０とＳ１５７５となり、大当り遊技終了後の普図確変フラグの設定と確変カウンタの設定（時短カウンタと同一値の設定）を行う（高確率状態移行手段）。 The difference from the special game processing 1 of the first embodiment is S1570 and S1575, and the setting of the common figure change flag after the big hit game and the setting of the probability change counter (setting the same value as the time-shortage counter) are performed (high probability state transition) means).

図３５は、実施例２における演出図柄表示装置６の表示例となる。図３５（１）の表示例の内容は、実施例１の図２５（３）と同一内容となるが、表示するタイミングは通常状態における普図の全ての当選時となり、具体的には図３２のＳ１４７０の「Ｖチャレンジ演出表示」指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３が受信した場合に実施される。図３５（２）の普図当選を経た第２特図小当り時の表示内容も実施例１の図２６（４）と同一内容となる。 FIG. 35 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the second embodiment. The content of the display example of FIG. 35 (1) is the same as that of FIG. 25 (3) of the first embodiment. However, the display timing is the time of all wins in the normal state in the normal state, specifically FIG. This is executed when the sub integrated control device 83 receives the “V challenge effect display” instruction command of S1470. The display content at the time of the second special figure small hit after the normal drawing winning in FIG. 35 (2) is the same as that in FIG. 26 (4) of the first embodiment.

以上が実施例２の説明となる。実施例１と異なるのは、普図の当否判定確率が変化する点となり、これにより通常状態（低確率状態時）で普図が当選した場合に第１開放（ショート開放）と第２開放（ロング開放）とを備える必要が無くなり、通常状態で普図が当選した場合は毎回「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を行うことができる。 The above is the description of the second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that the probability of success / failure determination of the normal map changes, and as a result, when the normal map is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first release (short open) and the second release ( Long Open) is no longer necessary, and when a normal figure is won in a normal state, a “V challenge effect” can be performed every time.

次に、実施例３を説明する。実施例３におけるパチンコ遊技機を構成する部品とその電気的接続も実施例１と共通であり、特別に説明のない部分については共通内容であり重複する説明は割愛する。
実施例１，２と異なるのは、第１特図が小当りを備えない（役物大当りが生起するのは第２特図の小当りのみ）点と、実施例１，２とは異なる大当り遊技（第１大入賞口１４の開放態様と大当り遊技終了後の時短回数が異なる）を備えた点となる。具体的な変更点を図３６から図４１を用いて説明する。 Next, Example 3 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the third embodiment and their electrical connections are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same contents and redundant descriptions are omitted.
The difference from the first and second embodiments is that the first special figure does not have a small hit (the big hit is only generated for the second special figure), and the big hit different from the first and second examples. It is a point provided with a game (the opening mode of the first big winning opening 14 is different from the number of time savings after the end of the big hit game). Specific changes will be described with reference to FIGS.

図３６は、実施例３のパチンコ機の作動内容を示している。実施例１の図４の図表と異なるのは、「小当り確率」「小当り遊技」「役物大当り」の欄に第１特図の設定が無い点と、「図柄大当りの第１特図」の欄に大当り遊技の種類が増え３種類となった点となる。なお、普図の当り確率及び当選時の普通電動役物１６の開放パターンは実施例１と共通（確率変動せず、通常時は２種類の開放パターンを備える）となっているため、通常状態で普図が第２開放図柄で当選すると第２特図が変動し役物大当りの期待が持てる（「Ｖチャレンジ演出」が実施される）。 FIG. 36 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 4 of the first embodiment is that there is no setting of the first special figure in the columns of “small hit probability”, “small hit game”, and “actual bonus hit”, and “first special figure for symbol big hit” The number of types of jackpot games has increased in the column of “”, and it has become 3 types. The normal hit probability and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of winning are the same as in the first embodiment (the probability does not vary, and normally there are two types of opening patterns), so the normal state When the normal figure is won with the 2nd open symbol, the 2nd special figure will change and you can expect the big hit of the feature ("V Challenge Direction" will be implemented).

実施例１，２とは異なる点となる本実施例の第１特図が図柄大当りした場合の大当り遊技の種類と内容（大当り遊技設定手段）について、図３６の内容に沿って説明する。第１特図が２，４，６，８の図柄で大当りすると（４／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が４ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施する。この場合、大当り遊技終了後に時短状態（開放延長状態）には移行しない（実施例１，２とは割合が異なる）。 The type and content of the big hit game (big hit game setting means) when the first special figure of this embodiment, which is different from the first and second embodiments, wins the symbol big hit, will be described along the content of FIG. When the first special figure is a big hit with 2, 4, 6, 8 (4/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 will open 4 rounds (1 round maximum 29.0 seconds open) Or 9 counts). In this case, after the big hit game is over, the state does not shift to the short time state (open extended state) (the ratio is different from the first and second embodiments).

第１特図が１，３，５，７，９の図柄で大当りすると（５／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が１５ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大２９．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施し、大当り遊技終了後は特図が９９回の変動を行うまで時短状態（開放延長状態）となる（割合も含め実施例１，２と同一内容）。 If the first special figure is a big hit with 1,3,5,7,9 (5/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 will open 15 rounds (one round up to 29.0 seconds) After the big hit game is completed, the time is reduced (open extended state) until the special figure changes 99 times (the same contents as in Examples 1 and 2 including the ratio).

第１特図が０の図柄で大当りすると（１／１０の割合）、第１大入賞口１４が２ラウンドの開放を行う大当り遊技（１ラウンド最大６．０秒の開放または９カウント）を実施し、大当り遊技終了後は特図が２０回の変動を行うまで時短状態（開放延長状態）となる（実施例１，２には無い内容）。 When the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 0 (1/10 ratio), the first big prize opening 14 performs a big hit game (opening up to 6.0 seconds or 9 counts per round) Then, after the big hit game is over, the time is shortened (open extended state) until the special figure changes 20 times (contents not provided in the first and second embodiments).

本実施例では、通常状態で第１特図が２ラウンド時短２０回の図柄で大当りした場合、大当り遊技終了後は特図が２０回変動するまで時短（開放延長）状態となるが、この場合、第２特図が２０回変動するまでは時短（開放延長）状態を保持することが遊技構成上望ましく、第２保留記憶数の上限を１個としながらそれ（第２特図が２０回変動するまで時短（開放延長）状態を保持）を実施するために、本実施例の時短機能は図３７，３８に示す内容で設定される。なお、本実施例においても、第２特図が第１特図よりも優先して変動を開始（特図当否判定を実施）する構成としている。 In this example, if the first special figure hits a big hit with 20 symbols in 2 rounds in the normal state, after the big hit game, it will be in a short time (open extension) state until the special figure fluctuates 20 times. It is desirable for the game structure to keep the state of short time (open extension) until the second special figure fluctuates 20 times, while the upper limit of the second reserved memory number is one (the second special figure fluctuates 20 times) In order to carry out the time reduction (open extension extended state) until this time, the time reduction function of the present embodiment is set with the contents shown in FIGS. In this embodiment as well, the second special figure is configured to start the fluctuation (perform special figure success / failure determination) in preference to the first special figure.

図３７は、実施例３の時短機能を示す図表１となり、大当り図柄毎に設定される時短回数内容の詳細を示している。具体的には、第１特図が４ラウンド時短無の図柄で大当りした場合は時短設定は行われないが、２ラウンド時短２０回の図柄で大当りした場合は、三つの回数条件のいずれかが満たされるまで時短（開放延長）状態が保持される設定が行われる。具体的な条件は、（１）第１特図が最大５０回変動するまで、（２）第２特図が最大２０回変動するまで、（３）第１特図と第２特図がトータルで最大５０回変動するまでとなり、時短（開放延長）状態において第２遊技領域３ｂに遊技球を流下させた場合は、第１特図の変動は第１保留記憶分のみに留まり、（２）の条件が満たされることで時短（開放延長）状態が終了するため、第２保留記憶数の上限が１個の構成であっても大当り遊技終了後は第２特図が２０回変動するまで時短（開放延長）状態は保持される。 FIG. 37 is Chart 1 showing the time reduction function of the third embodiment, and shows details of the time reduction contents set for each jackpot symbol. Specifically, if the first special figure hits a big hit with a 4-round timeless symbol, no time setting is made. Setting is made such that the time-short (open extension) state is maintained until it is satisfied. Specific conditions are: (1) until the first special figure fluctuates up to 50 times, (2) until the second special figure fluctuates up to 20 times, (3) the first special figure and the second special figure are total When the game ball is caused to flow down to the second game area 3b in the short time (open extension) state, the fluctuation of the first special figure remains only in the first reserved memory, (2) When the above condition is satisfied, the time reduction (open extension) state ends, so even if the upper limit of the second reserved memory number is one, the time is reduced until the second special figure changes 20 times after the big hit game ends. The (open extension) state is maintained.

従って、第１特図が２ラウンド時短２０回の図柄で大当りした場合は、当該大当りによる出玉よりも、大当り遊技終了後に第２特図がかならず２０回変動する時短状態に期待することになる。
このようにすることにより、通常遊技時の大当りから初めて時短状態に移行した時に第１特図の保留記憶が残っている場合がある。本実施例のように時短２０回という短回数の時短を付与しようとすると、残った第１特図の保留記憶で消化されてしまう場合があり、本来目的とした第２特図で時短２０回を実施する（小当り遊技を２０回付与する）ことが安定して行なえない。そこでこのように設定することにより、第１特図に保留記憶が残っていたり、時短状態になっても間違って第１始動口１１に入球させたとしても、第２特図が２０回変動するまで時短状態を確保することが可能となる。
ただし、あまり第１特図での最大回数とトータルの最大回数を多くすると、そのまま第１特図で抽選させた方が得になる可能性もあるため、あくまでも有利度が逆転しないように設ける必要がある。 Therefore, if the first special figure is a big hit with 20 rounds of short-time symbols, it will be expected to be short when the second special figure fluctuates 20 times after the big hit game, rather than a game with a big hit. .
By doing so, there is a case in which the reserved memory of the first special figure remains when the shift to the time saving state is made for the first time from the big hit at the normal game. If an attempt is made to give a short time of 20 times as in the present embodiment, the remaining first special figure may be digested with the reserved memory of the remaining first special figure. It is not possible to stably carry out (give 20 small hit games). Therefore, by setting in this way, even if there is an on-hold memory remaining in the first special figure, or even if the time is short, the second special figure fluctuates 20 times even if it enters the first starting port 11 by mistake. It becomes possible to ensure a short time state until it is done.
However, if the maximum number of times in the first special figure and the total maximum number of times are increased too much, there is a possibility that it will be possible to obtain a lottery with the first special figure as it is, so it is necessary to provide so that the advantage does not reverse to the last There is.

なお、通常状態で第１特図が２ラウンド時短２０回の図柄で大当りした場合以外の時短回数設定では、役物大当りも含めいずれの場合も上記した（１）（２）（３）の条件にそれぞれ９９回が設定される（図３８）。 In the normal state, the conditions of (1), (2), and (3) described above are applicable in all cases, including bonus hits, in the case of setting the number of times that the first special figure is a big hit with a symbol of 20 times in the second round. Each is set to 99 times (FIG. 38).

このように設定した上で、時短状態時に第２特図が１〜１０変動するまでは比較して短時間の第１変動テーブルを設定して、短時間で役物大当りが発生しやすくし、１１〜２０変動では比較して長時間の第２変動テーブルを設定して、一回の小当りを時間をかけて行なうことにより、２０回という短い時短状態でも十分に遊技者に楽しむ時間を与えることができる。 After setting in this way, the first variation table of a short time is set until the second special figure fluctuates by 1 to 10 in the time reduction state, so that a big hit of an object is likely to occur in a short time, By setting the second fluctuation table for a long time in comparison with the 11 to 20 fluctuations and performing a small hit over time, the player can have enough time to enjoy even in a short time period of 20 times be able to.

図３９は、本実施例で主制御装置８０が実行する特図当否判定処理３の一部を示し、実施例１で図１３を用いて説明したフローチャートに相当する箇所となる。本実施例では、第１特図に小当りがなく、第１特図が２ラウンド時短２０回の図柄で大当りした場合に「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を実施する構成となるが、それを実施するための処理部となる。 FIG. 39 shows a part of the special figure determination process 3 executed by the main controller 80 in this embodiment, and corresponds to the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 13 in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, when the first special figure does not have a small hit and the first special figure is a big hit with 20 rounds of 2 rounds, the “V challenge production” is implemented. It becomes a processing part.

大当り図柄を確定表示したことに基づいて条件装置と役物連続作動装置の作動を開始（Ｓ１６８０、Ｓ１６８５）した後、大当り図柄が第１特図の２ラウンド時短２０回図柄か否か判定し（Ｓ１６９０）、肯定判定なら（Ｓ１６９０：ｙｅｓ）、サブ統合制御装置８３に「Ｖチャレンジ演出」表示指示コマンドを送信し（Ｓ１６７５）、大当りフラグに１をセットする（Ｓ１７０５）。Ｓ１６９０が否定判定なら（Ｓ１６９０：ｎｏ）、大当り開始演出指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信し（Ｓ１７００）、大当りフラグに１をセットする（Ｓ１７０５）。 After starting the operation of the condition device and the continuous object actuating device based on the fact that the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed (S1680, S1585), it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a symbol of 20 rounds in 2 rounds of the first special symbol ( If a positive determination is made (S1690) (S1690: yes), a “V challenge effect” display instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1675), and 1 is set in the big hit flag (S1705). If S1690 is negative (S1690: no), a big hit start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1700), and a big hit flag is set to 1 (S1705).

この処理により、第１特図で所定図柄（２ラウンド時短２０回）の大当りが生起すると上述したＶチャレンジ演出を行う。本実施例では、Ｖチャレンジ演出を開始するのは、第１特図の所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短２０回）確定表示時からとなり、この大当りに限り大当り確定演出の代わりにＶチャレンジ演出が行われる。 As a result of this processing, when a big hit of a predetermined symbol (20 times in 2 rounds) occurs in the first special figure, the V challenge effect described above is performed. In this embodiment, the V-challenge effect is started only when the predetermined special jackpot symbol (20 rounds in 2 rounds) of the first special figure is confirmed and displayed. Done.

なお、本実施例では時短が２０回ということで、高確率でＶチャレンジが連続して２０回行なわれることになる。そのため、「Ｖチャレンジ×２０！」としたり「Ｖチャレンジ１回目」〜「Ｖチャレンジラスト！」など、他の実施例と異なる表示をすることも考えられる。また、時短回数を２０回だけでなく複数回設けることにより、多様な期待度のＶチャレンジを備える事が可能となる。 In this embodiment, the time reduction is 20 times, so that the V challenge is performed 20 times continuously with high probability. Therefore, it may be possible to display “V challenge × 20!” Or “V challenge first time” to “V challenge last!”, Which is different from other examples. In addition, by providing not only 20 times but also multiple times, it is possible to prepare V challenges with various expectations.

また、小当り（本実施例では小当りは第２特図のみ）が通常状態で生起した場合は、本実施例においても普通電動役物１６の第２開放動作により第２始動口１２に遊技球が入球したものとみなされるため、「Ｖチャレンジ演出」の継続（普図が第２開放図柄で当選した場合からの継続、又は第１特図が所定の大当り図柄で当選した場合からの継続）を指示するコマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３に送信する（Ｓ１７４５）。 Further, when a small hit (in this embodiment, the small hit is only the second special figure) occurs in the normal state, also in the present embodiment, the second opening of the ordinary electric accessory 16 causes the second start port 12 to play a game. Since the ball is considered to have entered the ball, the “V-Challenge Production” continues (from when the ordinary figure is won with the second open symbol, or when the first special symbol is won with the predetermined jackpot symbol) A command for instructing (continuation) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1745).

図４０は、実施例３における演出図柄表示装置６の表示例となる。図４０（１）の表示例の内容は、実施例１の図２５（２）と同一内容（但し、画面右下には所定の擬似大当り図柄を表示）となるが、表示するタイミングは通常状態における第１特図の所定図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回）の当選時となり、具体的には図３９のＳ１６９５の「Ｖチャレンジ演出表示」指示コマンドをサブ統合制御装置８３が受信した場合に実施される。 FIG. 40 is a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the third embodiment. The content of the display example of FIG. 40 (1) is the same as that of FIG. 25 (2) of the first embodiment (however, a predetermined pseudo jackpot symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen), but the display timing is in a normal state. Executed when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the “V challenge effect display” instruction command in S1695 of FIG. 39, when the predetermined symbol (20 times of 2 rounds) is won. Is done.

次に、図４１に示した図表により、第１特図と第２特図の遊技状態における変動テーブルの設定内容を説明する。
第１特図は、通常遊技状態の時は第１変動テーブル１が設定されている。平均変動時間は約１２秒である。本実施例の遊技構成は、通常遊技状態では第１特図での当否判定が遊技のメインとなるため、この第１変動テーブル１で変動時間が選択されることになる。そのため、他の変動テーブルよりも豊富な変動パターンを備える事が望ましい。平均では約１２秒だが１２０秒のリーチなどが選択可能になっている。
なお、通常遊技状態ではメインとなることから、第１変動テーブル１だけでなく、複数の変動テーブルを備えておいてもよい。大当り遊技後の変動回数に応じて変動テーブルを切替えていけば、リーチの発生率や平均変動時間を変化させていくことができる。また、従来技術であるが、保留記憶数に応じて変動テーブルを切替えることも考えられる。従来のように、保留記憶数が多数ある時（例えば３個以上）は平均変動時間の短い変動テーブルに切り替えれば時間当たりの変動回数を増やすことができる。また、平均変動時間が短いということでリーチ発生率を抑えて保留記憶の消化ペースを上げさせることができる。 Next, the setting contents of the variation table in the gaming state of the first special figure and the second special figure will be described with reference to the chart shown in FIG.
In the first special figure, the first variation table 1 is set in the normal gaming state. The average variation time is about 12 seconds. In the gaming configuration of the present embodiment, in the normal gaming state, whether or not to win in the first special figure is the main game, so the variation time is selected in the first variation table 1. For this reason, it is desirable to have more variation patterns than other variation tables. The average is about 12 seconds, but a reach of 120 seconds can be selected.
In addition, since it becomes main in the normal gaming state, not only the first variation table 1 but also a plurality of variation tables may be provided. If the change table is switched according to the number of changes after the big hit game, the reach occurrence rate and the average change time can be changed. Moreover, although it is a prior art, changing a fluctuation | variation table according to the number of pending storages is also considered. As in the prior art, when there are a large number of reserved memories (for example, 3 or more), the number of fluctuations per hour can be increased by switching to a fluctuation table with a short average fluctuation time. Further, since the average fluctuation time is short, the reach occurrence rate can be suppressed and the digestion rate of the reserved memory can be increased.

第１変動テーブル２は、時短状態の１〜３０変動で選択される変動テーブルで、平均変動時間は０．６秒となる。時短状態は第２特図で発生する小当りで役物大当りを目指すのが主目的となるため、第１特図の変動は極短時間で終了させることにより、第２特図での抽選遊技を早く開始させる。 The first fluctuation table 2 is a fluctuation table that is selected based on 1 to 30 fluctuations in the short-time state, and the average fluctuation time is 0.6 seconds. In the short-time state, the main goal is to aim for a big hit with a small hit that occurs in the second special figure. Therefore, the lottery game in the second special figure is completed by ending the fluctuation of the first special figure in a very short time. Start early.

第１変動テーブル３は、時短状態の３１〜４０変動で選択される変動テーブルで、平均変動時間は３０秒となる。演出力を高めるために長時間にするのではなく、時短状態で第１特図がここまで変動することは正規な遊技方法ではまず有りえないため、３０秒という長時間変動にして、時間当たりの変動回数の消化を抑え、１変動でも早く推奨する遊技方法に戻すことを促すことを目的としている。 The first variation table 3 is a variation table selected by 31 to 40 variations in the short time state, and the average variation time is 30 seconds. Instead of taking a long time to increase the performance output, it is unlikely that the first game will fluctuate so far in the short-time state with the normal gaming method. The purpose is to prevent the number of fluctuations from being consumed and to encourage the player to return to the recommended gaming method as soon as possible even with one fluctuation.

第１変動テーブル４は、時短状態の４１〜５０変動で選択される変動テーブルで、平均変動時間は２０秒となる。第１変動テーブル３が設定された状態を超えて第１特図の抽選が行なわれており、また、第２特図で２０変動できない（時短機能の終了条件３が総変動数５０回のため）状態にまで来ていることから、変則的な遊技である事を報知することを目的とした変動時間が設定されている。この変動時間を利用して、音声やランプの点灯パターン、演出図柄表示装置８２にて警告表示を行うことが考えられる。 The first variation table 4 is a variation table selected by 41 to 50 variations in the short-time state, and the average variation time is 20 seconds. The lottery of the first special figure has been performed beyond the state where the first fluctuation table 3 is set, and 20 fluctuations cannot be made in the second special figure (because the termination condition 3 of the short-time function is the total number of fluctuations of 50) ) Has reached the state, so a variation time is set for the purpose of notifying that the game is irregular. It is conceivable that a warning is displayed on the voice, lamp lighting pattern, and production symbol display device 82 using this variation time.

第２変動テーブル２は、時短状態の１から１０変動まで選択される変動テーブルである。時短状態の前半はリズムよく短時間で大当りが連なっていく感覚を与えるために平均変動時間を０．６秒にしている。これは、第２特図が高確率で小当りすることから擬似図柄で変動演出を見せる必要がないことも一因である。 The second fluctuation table 2 is a fluctuation table selected from 1 to 10 fluctuations in the short-time state. In the first half of the short time state, the average fluctuation time is set to 0.6 seconds in order to give a sense that the big hits continue in a short time with good rhythm. This is partly because the second special figure hits with high probability and does not need to show a fluctuating effect with a pseudo pattern.

第２変動テーブル３は、時短状態の１１から１５変動まで選択される変動テーブルであり、平均変動時間を５秒に設定している。時短２０回の半分を終えてまだ役物大当りが発生していないということで、遊技者が残りの回数を気にし出す頃合いを見計らって１変動を長めにし、一回一回の小当りを大事に行なうようにすることを目的とする。 The second fluctuation table 3 is a fluctuation table selected from 11 to 15 fluctuations in the short-time state, and the average fluctuation time is set to 5 seconds. After having finished half of the 20 times, the bonus hit has not yet occurred, so when the player starts to worry about the remaining number of times, one fluctuation is lengthened, and one small hit at a time. The purpose is to take care of it.

第２変動テーブル４は、時短状態の１６から２０変動まで選択される変動テーブルであり、平均変動時間を１０秒に設定している。最後の５変動を強調する意味でも一番長い設定をしている。表示例としてはカウントダウン演出などが考えられ、変動時間と演出により遊技者の緊張感を高める期間とすることを目的としている。 The second fluctuation table 4 is a fluctuation table selected from 16 to 20 fluctuations in the short-time state, and the average fluctuation time is set to 10 seconds. The longest setting is also used to emphasize the last five fluctuations. As a display example, a countdown effect or the like can be considered, and the purpose is to set a period in which the player's tension is enhanced by the variation time and the effect.

なお、本実施例では時短状態時の第１特図および第２特図の変動テーブルを変動数により切り替える構成としたが、時短終了条件３の総変動数によって第１特図と第２特図の変動テーブルを切替える構成も考えられるし、第１特図と総変動数、第２特図と総変動数の組み合わせで状況を判断し変動テーブルを切替える構成も考えられる。
これらによれば、例えば第１特図で１５変動した後に第２特図が１変動目を変動開始する時にいきなり長時間の変動テーブルを選択して警告したりすることができるようになる。 In this embodiment, the first special figure and the second special figure in the time-short state are switched according to the number of fluctuations. However, the first special figure and the second special figure are selected according to the total number of fluctuations in the time-shortening end condition 3. A configuration for switching the variation table is also conceivable, and a configuration is also possible in which the situation is determined by a combination of the first special figure and the total number of fluctuations, and the second special figure and the total number of fluctuations, and the fluctuation table is switched.
According to these, for example, when the second special figure starts to fluctuate after the fifteen fluctuations in the first special figure, a long-time fluctuation table can be selected and a warning can be made.

以上が実施例３の説明となる。本実施例では、所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回）で大当りした場合に、出玉の期待できない大当りの確定演出を行う代わりに、大当り終了後の時短状態で役物大当りからの第２特図の連荘を期待させる「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を行う構成となっている。さらに、図３７，３８を用いて説明した時短機能を備えているため、所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回）の大当り遊技終了後は第２特図が必ず２０回変動することにより、第２特図の小当りが２０回発生する。従って、役物大当りのチャンスも２０回あり、所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回）当選による「Ｖチャレンジ演出」は、普図の第２開放図柄当選からの「Ｖチャレンジ演出」に比べ、期待度が非常に高いものとなる。
また、短い時短回数でも、状況に応じた平均変動時間で行なうことにより、遊技者の心情に沿う演出など複数の遊技感覚を与えるとともに、変則的な遊技に抑制を行なうことができる。 The above is the description of the third embodiment. In this embodiment, when a big hit is made with a predetermined jackpot symbol (20 rounds in 2 rounds), instead of performing a big win that can not be expected, the number of hits from the bonus hit in the short time after the big hit ends. It is the composition which performs “V challenge production” which expects 2 special drawing consecutive houses. Furthermore, since the time-shortening function described with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38 is provided, the second special figure always fluctuates 20 times after the big-hit game of the predetermined big-hit symbol (2 rounds short-time 20 times), The small hit of the second special figure occurs 20 times. Therefore, there are 20 chances of winning big hits, and the “V Challenge Direction” won by winning the predetermined jackpot symbol (20 times in 2 rounds) compared to the “V Challenge Direction” from the 2nd open symbol win. , Expectation is very high.
Further, even if the number of times is short and short, it is possible to give a plurality of game sensations such as effects in line with the player's feelings and to suppress irregular games by performing with an average variation time according to the situation.

次に、実施例４を説明する。実施例４におけるパチンコ遊技機を構成する部品とその電気的接続も実施例１と共通であり、特別に説明のない部分については共通内容であり重複する説明は割愛する。 Next, Example 4 will be described. The parts constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the fourth embodiment and the electrical connections thereof are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same contents and redundant description is omitted.

本実施例は、実施例３の構成に対して、普図の当否判定確率に高確率と通常確率を設けた点と、普図当り時の普通電動役物１６の開放パターンを遊技状態に関係なく共通とした点となる（実施例１から実施例２への変更点と共通）。具体的な変更箇所を図４２の図表を用いて説明する。 The present embodiment relates to the game state with respect to the configuration of the third embodiment in that a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of determining whether or not to determine a normal figure, and an opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of a normal figure. This is a common point (same as the change from the first embodiment to the second embodiment). Specific changes will be described with reference to the chart of FIG.

図４２は、実施例４のパチンコ機の作動内容を示している。実施例３の図３６の図表と異なるのは、「普通図柄当り確率（図表の一番下の欄）」の項目内容となり、本実施例４も、普図当否判定の確率には通常確率と高確率とがあり、どちらの普図当否確率でも普図が当選すれば普通電動役物１６が５．０秒の開放を１回行う構成となっている。 FIG. 42 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment. The difference from the chart of FIG. 36 of the third embodiment is the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. There is a high probability, and the normal electric accessory 16 opens once for 5.0 seconds if the ordinary figure is won at any probability.

以上が実施例４の説明となる。上述したように、実施例３と異なるのは普図の当否判定確率が変化する点となり、これにより第１特図の小当りがなく、第１特図の所定図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回）で大当りに当選した場合に大当り演出の代わりに「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を行う構成としながら、通常状態（低確率状態時）で普図が当選した場合には第１開放（ショート開放）と第２開放（ロング開放）との区別がないため、普図が当選した場合は毎回「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を行うことができる。 The above is the description of the fourth embodiment. As described above, the difference from the third embodiment is that the probability of determining whether or not the normal map is correct is changed. As a result, there is no small hit of the first special figure, and the predetermined pattern of the first special figure (20 times of 2 rounds). ), When the big win is won, instead of the big hit production, the “V challenge production” is performed, but when the normal figure is won in the normal state (low probability state), the first opening (short opening) and the second Since there is no distinction between two open (long open), every time the usual figure wins, a “V challenge effect” can be performed.

次に、実施例５を説明する。実施例５におけるパチンコ遊技機を構成する部品とその電気的接続も実施例１と共通であり、特別に説明のない部分については共通内容であり重複する説明は割愛する。 Next, Example 5 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the fifth embodiment and their electrical connections are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same contents and redundant description is omitted.

本実施例は、実施例１の作動内容と実施例３の作動内容とを合成した構成となり、第１特図は小当りを備え、通常状態での普図に第１開放（ショート開放）を行う当り図柄と第２開放（ロング開放）を行う当り図柄を備え（実施例１）、尚且つ第１特図の大当り図柄として２ラウンド時短２０回の大当り遊技を実施する所定の大当り図柄（実施例３）も兼ね備えた内容となる。 The present embodiment has a configuration in which the operation contents of the first embodiment and the operation contents of the third embodiment are combined. The first special figure has a small hit, and the first opening (short opening) is provided in the normal state in the normal state. There is a winning symbol to perform and a winning symbol to perform the second opening (long opening) (Example 1), and as a big winning symbol of the first special figure, a predetermined big winning symbol that implements a big hit game of 20 rounds in 2 rounds (short time) Example 3) is also included.

図４３の図表は実施例５のパチンコ機の作動内容を示している。具体的な内容は実施例１で説明した図４の内容とほぼ同じとなり、異なるのは、第１特図の図柄大当り時の大当り遊技の内容と種類とが実施例３の内容と共通となっている点となる。なお、本実施例では第１特図小当りからの役物大当りも存在するため、該役物大当り終了時に設定される時短回数の内容は、図４４に示す内容となり、それ以外の大当り遊技終了時の時短回数設定の内容は実施例３の図３７，３８で説明した内容と共通となる。 The chart of FIG. 43 shows the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment. The specific contents are almost the same as the contents of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment, and the difference is that the contents and types of the big hit game at the time of the big jackpot of the first special figure are the same as the contents of the third embodiment. It becomes a point. In this embodiment, since there is also a big hit from the first special figure small hit, the contents of the short time set at the end of the big hit is the contents shown in FIG. 44, and the other big hit games end The contents of the setting of the number of hourly times are the same as the contents described in FIGS. 37 and 38 of the third embodiment.

実施例５のパチンコ機を図４３の図表で示す作動内容にすることにより、本実施例では、上述した「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を、第１特図の小当り当選時、普図の第２開放図柄当選時、第１特図の所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回図柄）当選時の計３か所で実施することが可能となる。 The operation contents shown in the chart of FIG. 43 are used for the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment, and in this embodiment, the above-mentioned “V challenge production” is the second opening of the usual figure when the first special figure is won by the small hit. At the time of symbol winning, it is possible to carry out in a total of three places at the time of winning the predetermined jackpot symbol of the first special figure (symbol 20 times in 2 rounds)

これにより、第１特図の小当り生起時には「Ｖチャレンジ」（第２大入賞口９１が作動する小当り遊技）を１回、普図の第２開放図柄当選時には「Ｖチャレンジ」を最高２回行うだけだが、第１特図が所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回図柄）で大当りした場合は、第２特図が少なくとも２０回変動するまで、言い換えれば第２特図の小当りが４回生起するまで「Ｖチャレンジ」を継続することになる。 As a result, when the 1st special figure small hit occurs, the “V challenge” (the small hit game where the 2nd big prize winning opening 91 operates) is once, and when the 2nd open symbol wins the usual figure, the “V challenge” is 2 at the maximum. If the first special figure is a big hit with a predetermined big hit symbol (20 times the number of short times in 2 rounds), until the second special figure fluctuates at least 20 times, in other words, the small hit of the second special figure Will continue the “V Challenge” until it occurs 4 times.

従って遊技者にとっては、第１特図の所定図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回図柄）の大当りで出現する「Ｖチャレンジ演出」が非常に期待度が高い演出期間となるが、特定領域９４への入球率は第１特図の小当りの方が高いため、第１特図の小当り時も同様に期待度が膨らむ遊技性となる。このように、多様な契機による小当りを備えることにより、多様なパターンで役物大当りすることができ、遊技性を豊かにすることができる。 Therefore, for the player, the “V challenge effect” that appears at the jackpot of the predetermined symbol of the first special figure (20 times the number of short times in 2 rounds) is a highly promising effect period. Since the entrance rate is higher for the small hits of the first special figure, the game will also have a high degree of expectation when the first special figure is a small hit. In this way, by providing small hits with various opportunities, it is possible to win big bonuses with various patterns and to enrich game play.

次に、実施例６を説明する。実施例６におけるパチンコ遊技機を構成する部品とその電気的接続も実施例１と共通であり、特別に説明のない部分については共通内容であり重複する説明は割愛する。 Next, Example 6 will be described. The components constituting the pachinko gaming machine in the sixth embodiment and their electrical connections are also the same as those in the first embodiment, and the portions not specifically described are the same as those in the first embodiment, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

本実施例は、実施例５の構成に対して、普図の当否判定確率に高確率と通常確率を設けた点と、普図当り時の普通電動役物１６の開放パターンを遊技状態に関係なく共通とした点となる（実施例１から実施例２への変更点と共通）。具体的な変更点を図４１の図表を用いて説明する。 In the present embodiment, in relation to the configuration of the fifth embodiment, a high probability and a normal probability are provided for the probability of determining whether or not to determine the normal figure, and the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory 16 at the time of the normal figure is related to the gaming state. This is a common point (same as the change from the first embodiment to the second embodiment). Specific changes will be described with reference to the chart of FIG.

図４５は、実施例６のパチンコ機の作動内容を示している。実施例５の図４３の図表と異なるのは、「普通図柄当り確率（図表の一番下の欄）」の項目内容となり、本実施例では、普図当否判定の確率には通常確率と高確率とがあり、どちらの普図当否確率でも普図が当選すれば普通電動役物１６が５．０秒の開放を１回行う構成となっている。 FIG. 45 shows the operation content of the pachinko machine according to the sixth embodiment. 43 differs from the chart of FIG. 43 of the fifth embodiment in the item content of “probability per ordinary symbol (bottom column of the chart)”. In this embodiment, the probability of determining whether or not a normal figure is normal and high. There is a probability, and if the ordinary figure is won at any probability of normal or not, the ordinary electric accessory 16 opens 5.0 seconds once.

本実施例でも、普図当否確率は、時短（開放延長）状態への移行と同一の契機で変化する。詳しくは、時短（開放延長）状態では高確率（１００／１００）で普図当否判定を行い、非時短（非開放延長）状態では通常確率（１／１００）で普図当否判定を行う。 Also in the present embodiment, the probability of normal-use success / failure changes at the same timing as the transition to the short time (open extension) state. Specifically, in the short-time (open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a high probability (100/100), and in the non-short time (non-open extension) state, the determination of whether or not a normal figure is made is made with a normal probability (1/100).

以上が実施例６の説明となる。上述したように、実施例５と異なるのは普図の当否判定確率が変化する点となり、これにより第１特図の小当り当選時と、第１特図の所定図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回）で大当り当選した場合とで「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を行う構成としながら、通常状態（低確率状態時）で普図が当選した場合には毎回「Ｖチャレンジ演出」を行うことができる。 The above is the description of the sixth embodiment. As described above, the difference from the fifth embodiment is that the probability of determining whether or not the normal chart is correct is changed. As a result, when the first special chart is won by the small hit, the predetermined pattern of the first special chart (2 rounds 20 times short) The “V challenge production” can be performed every time when the normal figure is won in the normal state (in the low probability state), while the configuration is such that “V challenge production” is performed when the big win is won.

以上が実施例の説明となる。いずれの実施例のパチンコ機も、図柄大当りと小当りからの役物大当りとを備える構成としたうえで、実施例１，３，５のパチンコ機は「普図当否判定が当選すると、可変入賞装置（普通電動役物１６）を比較して入球が困難な第１開放で作動させるか、比較して入球が容易な第２開放で作動させるかを判定する作動判定手段」を備える構成となり、対して実施例２，４，６のパチンコ機は作動判定手段を備えず、その代わりに「大当り遊技終了後の普図当否判定の当選確率を通常確率状態よりも当選する確率が高い高確率状態に移行させる高確率状態移行手段」を備える構成としている。 The above is the description of the embodiment. The pachinko machine of any of the examples is configured to have a bonus jackpot from the symbol big hit and the small hit, and the pachinko machines of the first, third, and fifth examples are “variable prizes when the universal figure win / fail judgment is won. A configuration including an operation determination means for determining whether the device (ordinary electric accessory 16) is operated with the first opening that makes it difficult to enter the ball or whether the operation is performed with the second opening that makes it easy to enter the ball. On the other hand, the pachinko machines of Examples 2, 4 and 6 do not have an operation determination means, and instead, “the probability of winning the normal winning / decision determination after the big hit game is higher than the normal probability state is high. “High probability state transition means for shifting to a probability state” is provided.

また、実施例１，２，５，６のパチンコ機は「第１特別図柄の小当りよりも前記第２特別図柄の小当りを高確率で当選させる小当り判定手段」を備え、「第１特別図柄の小当り当選に基づく小当り遊技と前記第２特別図柄の小当り当選に基づく小当り遊技とで特定領域への入球率を異なるようにし」とした構成を共通としている。 In addition, the pachinko machines of the first, second, fifth, and sixth embodiments are provided with “small hit determination means that wins a small hit of the second special symbol with a higher probability than a small hit of the first special symbol”. A common configuration is such that the small hit game based on the small winning combination of the special symbol and the small hit game based on the small winning combination of the second special symbol are set to have different entrance rates to the specific area.

また、実施例３，４，５，６のパチンコ機は「第１特別図柄又は第２特別図柄が確定表示した大当り図柄の種類に応じて、大当り遊技の内容と開放延長手段の実施期間を設定する大当り遊技設定手段」と、大当り遊技終了時に開放延長期間（時短回数）を設定する場合「第１特別図柄の確定表示回数が所定回数に達すると開放延長手段を終了する第１設定と、第２特別図柄の確定表示回数が所定回数に達すると開放延長手段を終了する第２設定と、第１特別図柄と前記第２特別図柄との総確定表示回数が所定回数に達すると開放延長手段を終了する第３設定とを行う開放延長期間設定手段」とを共通で備えている。 In addition, the pachinko machines of Examples 3, 4, 5 and 6 set “the contents of the jackpot game and the implementation period of the open extension means according to the type of the jackpot symbol on which the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed. When the jackpot game setting means is set, and when the opening extension period (number of time reductions) is set at the end of the jackpot game, “the first setting for ending the opening extension means when the predetermined display number of the first special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, (2) A second setting for ending the opening extension means when the number of fixed display of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, and an opening extension means when the total number of fixed display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches the predetermined number of times. "Open extension period setting means for performing the third setting to be completed".

実施例では、特定領域９４への入球の機会（役物大当りのチャンス）が発生すると、いずれの場合も見た目に共通の「Ｖチャレンジ」演出を実施したが、図柄の種類及び大当り小当りの違いに応じて「Ｖチャレンジ」演出の表示内容を異なる内容としてもよく、その場合、実施する「Ｖチャレンジ」から役物大当りが生起する期待度に応じて表示内容を変化させてもよい。 In the embodiment, when an opportunity to enter a specific area 94 (opportunity for hitting a bonus item) occurs, in each case, the “V Challenge” effect common to the appearance was performed. Depending on the difference, the display content of the “V challenge” effect may be different, and in that case, the display content may be changed according to the expected degree of occurrence of the big hit from the “V challenge” to be performed.

その場合、例えば、実施例３，４，５，６において第１特図で所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数４回図柄）で大当りが生起した場合は、その期待できる期間が他の「Ｖチャレンジ」の４倍長いことから「ウルトラＶチャレンジ」、実施例１，２，５，６で第１特図の小当りが生起した場合は「スーパーＶチャレンジ」、実施例１，３，５で普図の第２開放図柄当選時及び実施例２，４，６での普図当選時は「Ｖチャレンジ」としてもよい（いずれも通常遊技状態時）。 In this case, for example, in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth examples, when a big hit occurs in a predetermined big hit symbol (four times the number of short times in two rounds) in the first special figure, the expected period is another “V 4 times longer than “challenge”, “ultra-v challenge”, and in cases 1, 2, 5 and 6, if the first special figure hits a “super-v challenge”, examples 1, 3, and 5 The “V-challenge” may be used when the second open symbol is won and the symbols are won in Examples 2, 4 and 6 (both in the normal gaming state).

また、実施例１，５の第１特図の小当り遊技中に普図が第２開放図柄で当選した場合、及び実施例２，６の第１特図の小当り遊技中に普図が当選した場合は、実施している「Ｖチャレンジ」演出（特定領域への入球を促す演出）とは異なる「特定領域への入球を促す演出」に切り替える構成が考えられる。 In addition, during the small hit game of the first special figure of the first and fifth embodiments, the common figure is won with the second open symbol, and during the small hit game of the first special figure of the second and sixth embodiments. In the case of winning, a configuration may be considered in which the “V challenge” effect (effect that prompts entry into the specific area) is switched to “effect that encourages entry into the specific area”.

この構成は、「Ｖチャレンジ」として実施中の第１特図の小当り遊技中においても普図は変動することから、該小当り遊技中に普図が第２開放図柄で当選する場合があり、該当選した場合は複数回の「Ｖチャレンジ」が連続的（第１特図の小当りを実施した後、第２特図の小当りが連続して発生）に実施されるため、特殊な「Ｖチャレンジ」が発生したかのように見せることを目的とし。この構成により、稀に小当りが連続して発生した場合は、より遊技者の期待感を高めることが可能となる。 This configuration is subject to change even during the small bonus game of the first special figure that is being implemented as a “V Challenge”, so there may be cases where the special figure is won with the second open symbol during the small bonus game. In case of the selection, a special “V-challenge” will be carried out several times in succession (after the first special figure is hit, then the second special figure will be consecutively generated). The purpose is to make it appear as if a “V Challenge” has occurred. With this configuration, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation when small hits occur continuously in rare cases.

また、第２特図の小当り遊技中の第１保留記憶に小当りとなる保留記憶が有る場合は、先読判定に基づいて実施中の「Ｖチャレンジ」演出（特定領域への入球を促す演出）とは異なる「特定領域への入球を促す演出」に切り替える構成も考えられる。この構成の場合は、先に第２特図の小当りを実施している状況において、特定領域９４への入賞確率がより高い第１特図の小当りが続いて実施されることを該実施以前に報知する構成となる。この構成も、役物大当りが発生する期待度がより高い小当りが連続する場合は、さらに遊技者の期待感を高めることが可能となる。 In addition, if there is a holding memory that is a small hit in the first holding memory during the small hit game of the second special figure, the “V challenge” effect (based on the pre-determined determination) A configuration may be considered that switches to an “effect that prompts entry into a specific area”, which is different from the effect that promotes. In the case of this configuration, in the situation where the small hit of the second special figure is performed first, the small special hit of the first special figure having a higher probability of winning in the specific area 94 is subsequently executed. It becomes the structure which alert | reports previously. This configuration can further increase the player's sense of expectation when small hits with higher expectation of occurrence of big hits are consecutive.

また、第１特図の小当りと実施例３、４、５、６の所定の大当り図柄（２ラウンド時短回数２０回図柄）、普通図柄の当りを事前に報知するための共通演出を備えることも考えられる。例えば、特図の演出図柄とは異なる図柄（例えばルーレット）を表示させ、そちらでＶチャレンジが発生するか否かを演出表示すれば、あたかも特図の抽選とは異なる抽選によりＶチャレンジが発生するかのようにみせることができ、図柄による大当りと小当りによる役物大当りを明確に分けることができる。 In addition, there should be a common effect for informing in advance about the small bonus of the first special figure, the predetermined big bonus symbols of Examples 3, 4, 5 and 6 (two rounds of short-time 20 times), and the normal symbol. Is also possible. For example, if a symbol (for example, roulette) different from the special symbol production symbol is displayed and whether or not the V challenge is generated there, the V challenge is generated by a lottery different from the special symbol lottery. It can be shown as if the big hit by the design and the big hit by the small hit can be clearly separated.

以上のように、本発明の弾球遊技機によれば、図柄大当りとともに小当りから役物大当りを生起させる構成の弾球遊技機に適用することができる。 As described above, according to the bullet ball game machine of the present invention, it can be applied to a bullet ball game machine having a structure in which a bonus hit is generated from a small hit as well as a symbol big hit.
