Description

本発明は、遊技球を用いて遊技を行うパチンコ遊技機に関し、詳しくは、大当たり状態が２通りの開始契機、即ち、第１種パチンコ遊技機における大当たり図柄が確定表示されること、第２種パチンコ遊技機における遊技球が特定領域を通過することのいずれもが並行して進行できる、１種２種複合（混合）機と呼称されるパチンコ遊技機に関する。   The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that uses a game ball to play a game. Specifically, the jackpot state has two start triggers, that is, the jackpot symbol in the first type pachinko gaming machine is confirmed and displayed, type 2 The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine referred to as a one-kind / two-kind (mixed) machine in which both of a game ball passing through a specific area in a pachinko gaming machine can proceed in parallel.

複数種類の発生契機によって大当たり状態が発生するパチンコ遊技機は、遊技性に変化をもたらすものとして知られている。（例えば、特許文献１）また、第１種パチンコ遊技と第２種パチンコ遊技の組み合わせに限ったパチンコ遊技機も知られている。（例えば、特許文献２、特許文献３、特許文献４、特許文献５）   Pachinko machines in which a jackpot state is generated by a plurality of types of occurrence triggers are known as causing changes in game play. (For example, patent document 1) Moreover, the pachinko game machine limited to the combination of the 1st type pachinko game and the 2nd type pachinko game is also known. (For example, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, Patent Document 5)

特開平１１−３３３０６７（図１）JP-A-11-333067 (FIG. 1) 特開２０００−３３１４１（図１）JP 2000-33141 (FIG. 1) 特開２００４−４１５７８（図１）JP 2004-41578 (FIG. 1) 特開２００６−１４９７２９（図２）JP 2006-149729 (FIG. 2) 特開２００６−８１８４３（図１）JP 2006-81843 A (FIG. 1)

ところで、上記特許文献１〜特許文献３及び特許文献５に記載されたパチンコ遊技機においては、大当たり判定結果に対応した表示が行われる表示装置と、内部に特定領域が形成された特別入賞装置が遊技領域の中央部に重なり合って配置されており、さらに、それら表示装置や特別入賞装置の作動を開始させる作動契機となる遊技球の入賞等の発生場所や遊技領域における配置も、単独の遊技性を備えた第１種パチンコ遊技機、或いは第２種パチンコ遊技機の配置をそのまま踏襲し、重ね合わせたに過ぎなかった。単独の遊技性を備えたパチンコ遊技機ではなく、複数種類の大当たり状態を発生させるステップそれぞれが並行して進行するため、従来配置の重ね合わせによる複合機においては複数の発生契機の進捗状況を確認するためには遊技領域のあちこちに目を移すことが求められ、疲労を倍加させていた。そのため、多くの遊技者は、いずれかの大当たり状態の発生契機にのみ着目することで自己防衛を図るが、それでは折角の複合機としての楽しみが享受されずに遊技を行わせることになってしまう。第１種パチンコ遊技と第２種パチンコ遊技の複合機においては、リーチ演出等、遊技者の視線を集める工夫が行われており、どうしても大当たり判定結果に対応した表示が行われる表示装置に視線が集中されてしまう。そんな中で複合機の遊技性として、第２種パチンコ遊技の大当たり状態が発生し易い遊技状態を設けたとしても、いつもどおりの表示が表示装置側で行われていれば、やはり表示装置側に視線が奪われ、特別入賞装置側での大当たり発生ステップを見逃されてしまう不都合が生じることになる。   By the way, in the pachinko gaming machines described in Patent Document 1 to Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 5, a display device that performs display corresponding to the jackpot determination result and a special prize device in which a specific area is formed are provided. The game area is overlapped with the center of the game area, and the location where the game ball is won and the arrangement in the game area that triggers the operation of the display device and special prize device are also independent. The layout of the first type pachinko gaming machine or the second type pachinko gaming machine provided with the above was followed as it was, and was only superimposed. It is not a pachinko machine with a single game, but the steps to generate multiple types of jackpots proceed in parallel. In order to do so, it was required to shift eyes around the game area, doubling fatigue. Therefore, many players try to defend themselves by paying attention only to the occurrence of one of the big hit states, but this will cause them to play the game without enjoying the fun as a multi-function machine . In the first type pachinko game and the second type pachinko game compound machine, a device that collects the player's line of sight, such as reach production, has been devised, and the line of sight is displayed on the display device that inevitably displays corresponding to the jackpot determination result I will be concentrated. Under such circumstances, even if a gaming state in which a big hit state of the second type pachinko game is likely to occur is provided as a gaming property of the multifunction device, if the usual display is performed on the display device side, the display device side is still The inconvenience that the line of sight is lost and the jackpot generation step on the special prize winning device side is overlooked occurs.

本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、第２種パチンコ遊技の大当たり状態が発生し易い遊技状態下では、第１種パチンコ遊技の大当たり判定結果に対応した表示が行われる表示装置に遊技者の関心・視線が向かないように表示装置の表示が変化しない状態を強制的に作り上げることを目的とする。さらに、遊技領域における複数種類の大当たり状態を発生させるステップを確認する場合でも、視線をあちこちに動かさずに済ませ、遊技領域の中の比較的狭いエリア内で済ませることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. Under a gaming state in which a big hit state of the second type pachinko game is likely to occur, a display corresponding to the big hit judgment result of the first type pachinko game is performed. It is an object to forcibly create a state in which the display of the display device does not change so that the player's interest and line of sight are not directed to the display device. Furthermore, even when confirming the step of generating a plurality of types of jackpot states in the game area, the object is to avoid moving the line of sight around and within a relatively narrow area in the game area.

上記目的を達成するため、請求項１の発明においては、遊技領域に設けられた所定の図柄始動領域を遊技球が通過したことを検出する図柄始動領域検出手段と、該図柄始動領域検出手段からの検出信号の入力に基づき大当たりか否かを判定する大当たり判定手段と、前記図柄始動領域検出手段からの検出信号に基づき図柄の変動を開始し、所定の変動時間が経過した後、前記大当たり判定手段の大当たり判定結果に対応する大当たり図柄、ハズレ図柄のいずれかを確定表示する大当たり判定図柄表示装置と、前記大当たり判定手段の大当たり判定結果が大当たりであり、かつ、前記大当たり判定図柄表示装置に大当たり図柄が確定表示されたことを契機として遊技状態を通常の通常遊技状態から第１大当たり状態に制御する第１大当たり制御手段と、遊技領域に設けられた所定の図柄作動領域を遊技球が通過することを検出する図柄作動領域検出手段と、該図柄作動領域検出手段からの検出信号の入力に基づき当たりか否かを判定する当たり判定手段と、前記図柄作動領域検出手段からの検出信号に基づき図柄の変動を開始し、所定の変動時間が経過した後、前記当たり判定手段の当たり判定結果に対応する当たり図柄、ハズレ図柄のいずれかを確定表示する当たり判定図柄表示装置と、前記図柄始動領域よりも上流位置の遊技領域に設けられ、遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換可能な補助入賞装置と、遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換可能であって、入賞した遊技球が流入可能な特定領域が遊技者から視認可能に区画形成された特別入賞装置と、前記当たり判定手段の当たり判定結果が当たりであり、かつ、前記当たり判定図柄表示装置に当たり図柄が確定表示されたことを契機として前記補助入賞装置を前記拡開状態に変換する補助入賞装置拡開制御手段と、前記補助入賞装置拡開制御手段の作動により前記拡開状態に変換された前記補助入賞装置へ入賞した遊技球を検出する特別入賞装置拡開契機検出手段と、前記特別入賞装置拡開契機検出手段からの検出信号の入力に基づき、前記特別入賞装置を前記拡開状態に変換する特別入賞装置拡開制御手段と、該特別入賞装置拡開制御手段の作動により前記拡開状態に変換された前記特別入賞装置へ入賞した遊技球が前記特定領域を通過したことを検出する特定領域通過検出手段と、該特定領域通過検出手段からの検出信号が入力されたことを契機として遊技状態を前記通常遊技状態から第２大当たり状態に制御する第２大当たり制御手段と、前記第１大当たり制御手段の制御終了後、前記大当たり判定図柄表示装置の作動回数で規定された第１の終了条件が成立するまでの有限期間に亘って前記通常遊技状態より前記第２大当たり状態が発生し易い第２大当たり誘発状態に制御する第２大当たり誘発制御手段と、該第２大当たり誘発制御手段が制御期間中に前記第２大当たり状態が発生した場合は、前記第２大当たり制御手段の制御終了後、前記大当たり判定図柄表示装置の作動回数で規定された第２の終了条件が成立するまでの有限期間に亘って前記第２大当たり状態が発生し易い第２大当たり誘発状態に制御する繰り返し誘発制御手段と、前記第１の終了条件が成立するまでの有限期間中、又は、前記第２の終了条件が成立するまでの有限期間中に前記第２大当たり状態が発生しなかった場合は、遊技状態を通常遊技状態に制御する通常遊技復帰制御手段と、を備えたパチンコ遊技機であって、前記第２大当たり誘発制御手段は、前記第２大当たり誘発状態における前記大当たり判定図柄表示装置の図柄の変動を開始してから確定表示するまでに要する平均変動時間を前記通常遊技状態における平均変動時間よりも短縮する大当たり判定図柄変動時間短縮手段と、前記第２大当たり誘発状態における前記第２大当たり状態の開始契機の成立し易さと関わる前記補助入賞装置の前記拡開状態に変換される変換時間を前記通常遊技状態における前記変換時間より延長する補助入賞装置変換時間延長手段と、を備え、前記第２大当たり誘発状態の期間中は、前記補助入賞装置変換時間延長手段の作動により前記補助入賞装置へ入賞する遊技球数の増大に伴い、前記補助入賞装置より下流位置に設けられた前記図柄始動領域の遊技球の通過頻度が減少するとともに、前記大当たり判定図柄変動時間短縮手段の作動により前記大当たり判定図柄表示装置の図柄が変動表示しない非変動期間が増大することによって、前記通常遊技状態よりも遊技者の第１大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程への関心を喪失させる一方、前記補助入賞装置変換時間延長手段の作動により前記特別入賞装置拡開契機検出手段の検出信号数が増加することによって、前記通常遊技状態よりも遊技者の第２大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程への関心を喚起するように制御することを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a symbol starting area detecting means for detecting that a game ball has passed a predetermined symbol starting area provided in the gaming area, and the symbol starting area detecting means. A jackpot determining means for determining whether or not the jackpot is based on the input of the detection signal of the symbol, and starting the variation of the symbol based on the detection signal from the symbol starting area detecting means, and after the predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed, the jackpot determination A jackpot determination symbol display device for confirming and displaying either a jackpot symbol or a loss symbol corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the means, and the jackpot determination result of the jackpot determination means is a jackpot, and the jackpot determination symbol display device is a jackpot The first jackpot control that controls the gaming state from the normal normal gaming state to the first jackpot state when the symbol is fixedly displayed.

さらに、請求項２の発明においては、前記大当たり判定手段の判定結果に対応する画像を変動表示する判定画像表示装置と、該判定画像表示装置で表示する画像を制御する画像制御手段と、上部には、前記特別入賞装置と連通する連通口と、中央部には、前記拡開状態に変換された前記特別入賞装置へ入賞した遊技球が前記特定領域を通過するか否かを決定する振り分け部と、側方部には、前記振り分け部とは遊技球の行き来がないように隔絶されて設けられ、遊技領域を流下する遊技球を取り込む流入口と該流入口に流入した遊技球を遊技者から視認可能に転動させる転動面と該転動面を転動した遊技球を再び遊技領域に放出する放出口とからなる非分岐の球流下路とが設けられた中央装置と、を備え、前記図柄始動領域は前記放出口の真下位置に一ヶ所のみ設けられ、かつ、植設された遊技釘によって当該図柄始動領域を通過する可能性を有する遊技球は前記球流下路を流下した遊技球に限定されると共に、遊技領域の左右位置のいずれか一方に、前記判定画像表示装置と前記球流下路の入口である前記流入口を近接配置し、前記振り分け部は、遊技球を下支えする下支え部が形成された回転体を備え、前記連通口から落下した遊技球が前記特定領域の前面位置にある前記下支え部上に落下したときに限り前記特定領域へ案内可能となり、
遊技領域の中央位置に、前記補助入賞装置、前記特別入賞装置、前記振り分け部を上方から順に並べて近接配置したことを特徴とする。 Furthermore, in the invention of claim 2, a determination image display device that variably displays an image corresponding to the determination result of the jackpot determination means, an image control means for controlling an image displayed on the determination image display device, and an upper portion Is a communication port that communicates with the special prize-winning device, and a distribution unit that determines whether or not a game ball won in the special prize-winning device converted to the expanded state passes through the specific area at the center portion And the side portion is provided so as to be separated from the sorting portion so that the game balls do not come and go, and an inflow port for taking in the game balls flowing down the game area and the game balls flowing into the inflow port to the player A central device provided with a non-branching ball flow downway comprising a rolling surface that rolls in a visible manner and a discharge port that discharges the game ball rolling on the rolling surface to the game area again. The symbol start area is the true of the discharge port. The game balls that are provided at only one location and have the possibility of passing through the symbol start area by the planted game nails are limited to the game balls that have flowed down the ball flow path, and the right and left of the game area. In any one of the positions, the determination image display device and the inflow port that is the entrance of the ball flow downway are disposed close to each other, and the distribution unit includes a rotating body in which a lower support portion that supports a game ball is formed, It becomes possible to guide to the specific area only when the game ball dropped from the communication port falls on the lower support portion at the front position of the specific area,
The auxiliary winning device, the special winning device, and the distributing unit are arranged in order from the top in the center of the game area.

請求項１に係る発明においては、制御的に大当たり図柄が得られることで開始された第１大当たり状態の終了後には、通常遊技状態より特別入賞装置の拡開契機の成立頻度をアップさせ、特別入賞装置の内部に形成された特定領域を遊技球が通過しやすくすることで第２大当たり状態が発生しやすくなる一方、第１大当たり状態の発生に対しては、特別入賞装置の拡開契機の成立頻度をアップさせることがマイナスに作用し、下流位置にある図柄始動領域の遊技球の通過頻度が通常遊技状態よりも下がるため、第１大当たり状態の開始契機の成立頻度が低下するという第１種・第２種の大当たり状態別の期待感が異なるように制御するとともに、期待感の損なわれる第１大当たり状態の発生契機に対しては通常遊技状態に比べて変動１回当たりの変動時間を大幅に短縮し、図柄が変動しないで同じ表示を続ける非変動時間を強制的に作りだし、表示装置の被注目度を低下させることで、必然的に拡開頻度が高まった特別入賞装置への遊技球の入賞具合や特定領域への案内・誘導状態を注視する状況が作り出し、遊技者の関心の向け先までも強制誘導できる。複合機であるがために、複数種類の大当たり状態の発生過程が並行して進行するため、遊技者が関心を寄せる部位は遊技盤面の様々な部位に散在しており、複雑な印象も与える危険性があるが、特に第２大当たり誘発状態期間中に第２大当たり状態が発生すれば、繰り返し誘発制御手段が作動することで、第２大当たり状態の連チャン状態への期待が生まれる特殊な遊技状態において、お奨め部位だけをシンプルにクローズアップすることにより、分かり易く、第２大当たり状態の発生に係る特定領域を遊技球が通過するかに集中させることできる。クローズアップするためにランプ点灯等で告知することも可能であるが、より強い発光状態は目に負担を強いることになるのに対し、お奨めしない部位については機能的に魅力を低下させ、遊技者の意志として該当部位に着目しなくなるので、目に負担をかけることもない。   In the invention according to claim 1, after the end of the first jackpot state that was started by controllably obtaining the jackpot symbol, the establishment frequency of the special winning device expansion opportunity is increased from the normal gaming state, The second big hit state is likely to occur by making it easier for the game ball to pass through the specific area formed inside the winning device, whereas the occurrence of the first big hit state is an opportunity to expand the special winning device. Increasing the establishment frequency has a negative effect, and the passing frequency of the game ball in the symbol starting area at the downstream position is lower than the normal gaming state, so the establishment frequency of the start event of the first big hit state decreases. The control is performed so that the expectation of each type / type 2 jackpot state is different, and the occurrence of the first jackpot state where the expectation is lost is one fluctuation compared to the normal gaming state The special prize that inevitably increased the frequency of expansion by significantly reducing the fluctuation time of the display, compulsorily creating a non-fluctuation time to continue the same display without changing the design, and reducing the degree of attention of the display device A situation in which a player pays attention to the winning state of the game ball to the device and the guidance / guidance state to a specific area can be created, and the player can be forced to reach the destination. Because it is a multi-function device, the process of generating multiple types of jackpots proceeds in parallel, so the parts that the player is interested in are scattered in various parts of the game board surface, and it also gives a complex impression However, if the second jackpot state occurs during the second jackpot trigger state period, a special gaming state in which expectations for the second jackpot state are generated by the repeated trigger control means operating. By simply closing up only the recommended part, it is easy to understand and it is possible to concentrate on the specific area relating to the occurrence of the second jackpot state in which the game ball passes. It is also possible to notify by lighting up the lamp for close-up, but the stronger light emission state imposes a burden on the eyes, but the part not recommended is functionally less attractive and games As the person's will does not pay attention to the corresponding part, it does not place a burden on the eyes.

請求項２に係る発明においては、図柄始動領域を通過する遊技球は中央装置に形成された１本道の非分岐の球流下路を流下した遊技球に限定されるため、図柄始動領域を遊技球が通過する度合いは流下路の流入口へ流入する度合いに律速するため、図柄始動領域を注視しなくとも流入口を注視すれば十分に事足りる。さらに、流入口と大当たり判定手段の判定結果に対応する画像を変動表示する判定画像表示装置とが遊技領域の中央を外したエリアに近接配置されており、第１大当たり状態の発生契機と関連する部位同士が近くにあるので、第１大当たり状態が発生しやすい通常遊技状態ではこのエリアを注視していればよく、また、補助入賞装置、特別入賞装置、中央装置の振り分け部の第２大当たり状態の発生契機に関わる部位は、大当たりの発生過程の進捗状況と符合するように上下に並んで近接配置されているため、第２大当たり状態が発生しやすい第２大当たり誘発状態の時には、遊技領域の中央上方エリアだけを眺めていればよく、それぞれの大当たり発生のステップがエリア別で容易に確認できるようになっているため、視線を動かす距離も短く、分かり易いだけでなく疲労を軽減することができる。特に、発生契機の成立過程が長い第２大当たり状態の場合、発生するか否かに直接関わる特定領域が特別入賞装置の直下の近接位置にあるため、拡開した特別入賞装置への入賞状態と特定領域の通過状況が同時に確認できるとともに、回転体の下支え部が特定領域の前面位置に回転してきた時に下支え部上に遊技球が落下すれば特定領域へ案内可能となるため特定領域に流入することは瞬間の出来事に近く、遊技球の入賞具合・通過具合を見ながら発射力の調整が可能となる。   In the invention according to claim 2, since the game ball passing through the symbol starting area is limited to the gaming ball flowing down the one-way non-branching ball flow path formed in the central device, the symbol starting area is the gaming ball. Since the rate of passing is limited by the degree of flow into the inlet of the downflow path, it is sufficient to watch the inlet without watching the symbol start area. In addition, an inflow port and a determination image display device that variably displays an image corresponding to the determination result of the jackpot determination means are arranged close to the area outside the center of the game area, and are related to the occurrence of the first jackpot state. Since the parts are close to each other, it is only necessary to keep an eye on this area in the normal gaming state in which the first big hit state is likely to occur, and the second big hit state of the distribution unit of the auxiliary winning device, special winning device, and central device Since the parts related to the occurrence of the jackpot are closely arranged side by side so as to coincide with the progress status of the jackpot generation process, in the second jackpot induction state in which the second jackpot state is likely to occur, It is only necessary to look at the upper center area, and each jackpot generation step can be easily confirmed by area, so the distance to move the line of sight Ku, it is possible to reduce the fatigue, not only easy to understand. In particular, in the case of the second big hit state where the generation process of the occurrence is long, the specific area directly related to whether or not it occurs is in a close position immediately below the special prize winning device, The passing situation of the specific area can be confirmed at the same time, and when the support part of the rotating body rotates to the front position of the specific area, if the game ball falls on the support part, it can be guided to the specific area and flows into the specific area That is close to the momentary event, and it is possible to adjust the firing power while watching the winning and passing conditions of the game ball.

図２は、遊技盤７上に形成された遊技領域３０内の構成の一例を示している。遊技領域３０には、図柄作動領域としての普通図柄作動ゲート３１、判定図柄表示装置としての普通図柄表示部３２、補助入賞装置としての普通電動役物３３、図柄始動領域としての特別図柄始動口３４，大当たり判定図柄表示装置としての特別図柄表示部３５，大入賞口Ａ３６、特別入賞装置としての大入賞口Ｂ３７、上限回数を４回とする普通図柄表示部３２の作動保留回数をＬＥＤの点灯数で表示する普通図柄保留数表示部３８、上限回数を４回とする特別図柄表示部３５の作動保留回数をＬＥＤの点灯数で表示する特別図柄保留数表示部３９、第２大当たり誘発状態としての時短状態であること、並びに第２大当たり誘発状態の終了条件となる特別図柄表示部３５の変動回数を報知する時短報知演出装置４０、判定画像表示装置としての液晶演出表示装置４５、中央装置としてのセンター役物５０とが設けられている。そして遊技領域３０に打ち込まれた遊技球は、時短報知演出装置４０と液晶演出表示装置４５によってセンター役物５０の上方に向かって誘導される。   FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration in the game area 30 formed on the game board 7. The game area 30 includes a normal symbol operation gate 31 as a symbol operation area, a normal symbol display unit 32 as a determination symbol display device, a normal electric accessory 33 as an auxiliary winning device, and a special symbol start port 34 as a symbol start region. , The special symbol display unit 35 as a jackpot determination symbol display device, the big prize opening A36, the big winning port B37 as a special prize winning device, the number of times the LED is turned on and the number of times the normal symbol display unit 32 has an upper limit of four times. The normal symbol hold number display unit 38 for displaying the number of times the upper limit number of times is displayed and the special symbol display unit 35 for which the upper limit number of times is four is displayed. The time-short notification effect device 40 and the determination image display device that notify the short-time state and the number of fluctuations of the special symbol display unit 35 that is the end condition of the second jackpot induction state. Liquid crystal effect display device 45, and a center won game 50 as a central device is provided for. Then, the game ball that has been driven into the game area 30 is guided toward the upper side of the center accessory 50 by the short-time notification effect device 40 and the liquid crystal effect display device 45.

センター役物５０は、図３、図４に示すように、大入賞口Ｂ３７の直下位置に大入賞口Ｂ３７と連通する連通口５１、該連通口５１に続く空間５２を備えており、空間５２は周囲が周壁５３によって囲まれ、前方が透明カバー５４によって覆われた閉口空間を成しており、内部には図示しない駆動モータによって回転する回転体５８を備えた振り分け部５７が設けられている。振り分け部５７は、連通口５１から流入した遊技球が、タイミング良く回転体５８に設けられた下支え部５９上に落下すれば特定領域６０へ振り分けられ、さもなくば空間５２の底部に形成された一般領域６１へ流入する。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the center accessory 50 includes a communication port 51 that communicates with the big prize opening B37 and a space 52 that follows the communication hole 51 at a position directly below the big prize port B37. Has a closed space surrounded by a peripheral wall 53 and covered with a transparent cover 54 in the front, and a distribution portion 57 having a rotating body 58 rotated by a drive motor (not shown) is provided inside. . The distribution unit 57 is formed at the bottom of the space 52 when the game ball flowing in from the communication port 51 falls onto the lower support unit 59 provided in the rotating body 58 in a timely manner and is distributed to the specific region 60. It flows into the general area 61.

また、センター役物５０は、大入賞口Ｂ３７の斜め側方には鎧部６２が設けられており、流下してきた遊技球を外側方向へ誘導する。鎧部６２が端部下方には、外側に普通図柄作動ゲート３１、内側に流入口６３が並んで設けられており、鎧部６２上を転動してきた遊技球の多くが普通図柄作動ゲート３１と流入口６３の近傍を流下するとともに、流入口６３に流入しなかった遊技球の多くは普通図柄作動ゲート３１を通過するようになっており、流入口６３の入口の大きさを決定する遊技釘６４、６４の釘間隔調整によって流入する度合いが決定される。   Further, the center accessory 50 is provided with an armor portion 62 at an oblique side of the special winning opening B37, and guides the game ball that has flowed down to the outside. Below the end of the armor portion 62, a normal symbol operating gate 31 is provided on the outside, and an inflow port 63 is provided side by side, and most of the game balls that have rolled on the armor portion 62 are in the normal symbol operating gate 31. The game ball that flows down the vicinity of the inflow port 63 and that does not flow into the inflow port 63 usually passes through the symbol actuating gate 31, and determines the size of the inflow port 63. The degree of inflow is determined by adjusting the distance between the nails 64 and 64.

図４に示すように、流入口６３に流入した遊技球は全て、センター役物５０の下方に形成された転動面６５上に案内されて転動した後、転動面６５の前方を覆うように立設された前板６６に開口された放出口６７から再度遊技領域に放出される。この流入口６３から転動面６５を経て放出口６７に至るまでの球流下路７０は、経路途中に分岐を持たない非分岐球流下路であり、空間５２とは隔絶されて、互いに遊技球の行き来がないようになっているとともに、前板６６は透明樹脂で構成され、遊技球の転動状況・流下状況を遊技者が視認可能となっている。なお、放出口６７は、特別図柄始動口３４の真上に位置しており、放出口６７から放出された遊技球は極めて高い確率で特別図柄始動口３４に入賞するため、特別図柄始動口３４に入賞するか否かを判断するにあたり、特別図柄始動口３４への入賞具合を注視せずとも流入口６３への流入具合を確認することで十分代用できる。   As shown in FIG. 4, all the game balls that have flowed into the inflow port 63 are guided and rolled on the rolling surface 65 formed below the center accessory 50, and then cover the front of the rolling surface 65. In this way, it is discharged again from the discharge port 67 opened in the front plate 66 erected in this manner into the game area. A ball flow down path 70 from the inflow port 63 to the discharge port 67 through the rolling surface 65 is a non-branched ball flow down path that does not have a branch in the middle of the path. The front plate 66 is made of a transparent resin so that the player can visually recognize the rolling situation / flowing situation of the game ball. The discharge port 67 is located immediately above the special symbol start port 34, and the game ball released from the discharge port 67 wins the special symbol start port 34 with a very high probability. In determining whether or not to win a prize, it can be adequately substituted by checking the inflow to the inflow port 63 without paying attention to the degree of winning in the special symbol starting port 34.

流入口６３に流入できずに普通図柄作動ゲート３１を通過した遊技球は、誘導部６８上を転動するため一旦外側方向へ誘導された後、遊技釘群によって遊技盤７の盤面中央へ案内されるが、案内された遊技球は、障害釘群６９によりセンター役物５０とは隔離された状態で流下させられるだけでなく、万一、障害釘群６９を跳び越えたとしても、前板６６がガード壁として機能して、遊技球の転動面６４への跳び込みをブロックしているため特別図柄始動口３４へ入賞することはない。つまり、特別図柄始動口３４へ入賞する遊技球は、流入口６３へ流入して球流下路７０を流下した遊技球に限定される。   The game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operating gate 31 without being able to flow into the inflow port 63 is guided to the outside in order to roll on the guide portion 68 and then guided to the center of the game board 7 by the game nail group. However, the guided game ball is not only allowed to flow down in a state of being isolated from the center role 50 by the obstacle nail group 69, but even if it jumps over the obstacle nail group 69, Since 66 functions as a guard wall and blocks the game ball from jumping into the rolling surface 64, the special symbol starting port 34 is not won. In other words, the game balls that win the special symbol starting port 34 are limited to the game balls that flow into the inflow port 63 and flow down the ball flow path 70.

次に、パチンコ遊技機１の主な電気的構成について図５を参照して説明する。外部からの電源となるＡＣ２４Ｖ電源１００は、電源基板１０１にて５Ｖ、１２Ｖ、３２Ｖのパチンコ遊技機で使用する所要の電圧に変換され、中抜き矢印の示す方向で基板ベースにおける電源の供給が行われる。黒矢印の示す方向が信号の接続先と送信方向で、矢印が片側か両側によって一方向或いは双方向であるかをを示している。   Next, the main electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

次に、本実施形態のパチンコ遊技機における２種類の大当たり状態の発生契機が成立する過程を異なる遊技状態別に４パターンに分類し、それぞれに対応する図６から図９を参照して説明する。   Next, the process in which two kinds of jackpot occurrence triggers are established in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment is classified into four patterns according to different gaming states, and will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9 corresponding to each.

図６は、通常遊技状態において第１大当たり状態の発生契機が成立する過程並びに第１大当たり状態終了後に開始される遊技状態を説明するものである。第１大当たり状態を発生させる最初のステップとして、特別図柄始動口３４に設けられた特別図柄スイッチ１５２を遊技球が通過（Ｓ１０１）すると、主制御基板１３０では、０〜１９６の１９７コマからなる大当たりカウンタの遊技球が通過した時点の大当たりカウンタ値を取得する（Ｓ１０２）。取得した大当たりカウンタ値が、予め定められた大当たり確率１／１９７に対応して定められた大当たり値、例えば「７」と等しいか否かの大当たり判定（Ｓ１０３）を行い、大当たり・ハズレの大当たり判定結果に対応した変動時間（変動態様）が決定され、特別図柄表示部３５の変動時間をセット（Ｓ１０４）すると共に、特別図柄表示部３５と同期して演出表示が行われる液晶演出表示装置４５（液晶表示ユニット１６７）、演出発光部１０（装飾ＬＥＤ基板１７３）、効果音発音部（スピーカ１７４）を制御する画像制御手段１６５、電飾音声制御基板１７０へ対応する制御コマンドが出力される。特別図柄表示部３５での変動が開始（Ｓ１０５）され、大当たり判定結果に対応して決定された変動時間が経過すると（Ｓ１０６がＹ）、大当たり判定結果に対応する大当たり図柄、ハズレ図柄が、変動停止後、例えば０．５秒の停止表示時間を経て確定表示される（Ｓ１０７）。確定表示された図柄がハズレ図柄（Ｓ１０８がＮ）であれば、特別図柄スイッチ１５２の遊技球の通過を待つ。なお、図５では割愛しているが、特別図柄表示部が変動中及び大入賞口Ａ３６が拡開状態に変換されているなど、特別図柄表示部３５が変動開始できない場合は４回を上限として変動開始が保留されており、確定表示された図柄がハズレ図柄（Ｓ１０８がＮ）で特別図柄表示部３５の作動保留回数が１〜４であれば、取得値の大当たり判定（Ｓ１０３）から開始される。   FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a process in which an occurrence trigger of the first jackpot state is established in the normal gaming state and a gaming state started after the end of the first jackpot state. As a first step of generating the first jackpot state, when the game ball passes through the special symbol switch 152 provided in the special symbol start opening 34 (S101), the main control board 130 has a jackpot consisting of 197 frames of 0 to 196. The jackpot counter value at the time when the game ball of the counter passes is acquired (S102). A jackpot determination (S103) is performed to determine whether or not the acquired jackpot counter value is equal to a jackpot value determined corresponding to a predetermined jackpot probability 1/197, for example, “7”, and a jackpot determination of jackpot / losing is performed. The variation time (variation mode) corresponding to the result is determined, the variation time of the special symbol display unit 35 is set (S104), and the effect display is performed in synchronization with the special symbol display unit 35 (the liquid crystal effect display device 45) The liquid crystal display unit 167), the effect light emitting unit 10 (decorative LED board 173), the image control means 165 for controlling the sound effect sounding part (speaker 174), and the control commands corresponding to the electrical sound control board 170 are output. When the variation in the special symbol display unit 35 is started (S105) and the variation time determined corresponding to the jackpot determination result elapses (Y in S106), the jackpot symbol and the lost symbol corresponding to the jackpot determination result are changed. After the stop, for example, a fixed display is made after a stop display time of 0.5 seconds (S107). If the confirmed symbol is a lost symbol (N in S108), the special symbol switch 152 waits for a game ball to pass. Although omitted in FIG. 5, if the special symbol display unit 35 cannot start changing, such as when the special symbol display unit is changing and the special prize opening A36 is converted to the expanded state, the upper limit is four times. If the fluctuation start is suspended, the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a lost symbol (S108 is N), and the number of operation suspension of the special symbol display unit 35 is 1 to 4, it is started from the jackpot determination of the acquired value (S103) The

大当たり図柄が確定表示されていれば（Ｓ１０８がＹ）、２種類の大当たり状態が同時に存在することを避けるために、第２大当たり状態の発生を決定づける特定領域６０に設けられた特定領域スイッチ１５６を無効化する。この無効化するためには、特定領域スイッチ１５６のスイッチ状態を確認しない、特定領域６０への遊技球の流入を阻止する、特定領域６０が設けられた大入賞口Ｂ３７を拡開状態に変換しないように大入賞口Ｂソレノイド１４７を作動させない、など様々な方法が取り得る。   If the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed (Y in S108), a specific area switch 156 provided in the specific area 60 that determines the occurrence of the second jackpot state is set to avoid the presence of two types of jackpot states at the same time. Disable it. In order to invalidate, the switch state of the specific area switch 156 is not confirmed, the inflow of the game ball to the specific area 60 is prevented, and the big winning opening B37 provided with the specific area 60 is not converted to the expanded state. Thus, various methods such as not operating the special winning opening B solenoid 147 can be taken.

第１大当たり状態が開始（Ｓ１１０）され、大入賞口Ａ３６の拡開時間として１４秒をセット（Ｓ１１１）後、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて、遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換する（Ｓ１１２）。拡開された大入賞口Ａ３６へ入賞した遊技球を検出する大入賞口Ａスイッチ１５４が規定個数、例えば９個を検出すると、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて閉口状態に変換（復帰）する。第１大当たり状態は変換回数として１６回がセットされているため、１６回に到達（Ｓ１１５がＹ）するまで拡開状態と閉口状態が繰り返えされて、第１大当たり状態が終了する（Ｓ１１６）。   The first jackpot state is started (S110), and after 14 seconds is set as the opening time of the big winning opening A36 (S111), the big winning opening A solenoid 148 is operated to start the closed state where the game ball cannot win. It is converted into an expanded state that can be won (S112). When the special winning opening A switch 154 that detects a game ball won in the expanded special winning opening A36 detects a predetermined number, for example, nine, the special winning opening A solenoid 148 is operated to convert (return) to the closed state. To do. Since the number of conversions is set to 16 for the first jackpot state, the expanded state and the closed state are repeated until the number of conversions reaches 16 (Y in S115), and the first jackpot state ends (S116). ).

本実施形態では、第１大当たり状態の発生は第２大当たり誘発状態への移行条件であるが、大当たり図柄の内容によって第２大当たり誘発状態の期間が異ならせてあるため、大当たり判定結果が、大当たりであって、かつ、第２大当たり誘発状態を長期間発生させるとの結果を受けて、特別図柄表示部３５に所定の時短大当たり図柄が確定表示（Ｓ１１７がＹ）されると、時短回数として７７回がセット（Ｓ１１８）され、第２大当たり誘発状態を短期間発生させる非時短大当たり図柄が確定表示（Ｓ１１７がＮ）されると、時短回数として３３回がセット（Ｓ１１９）され、図７・図８に示した時短時の制御処理に移行する。この７７回或いは３３回は大当たり状態終了後の特別図柄表示部３５でのハズレ図柄の確定表示回数であって、時短時、即ち第２大当たりが発生しやすくなっている第２大当たり誘発状態としての最長（上限）期間を規定する終了条件となっている。   In the present embodiment, the occurrence of the first jackpot state is a transition condition to the second jackpot induction state, but since the period of the second jackpot induction state is different depending on the contents of the jackpot symbol, the jackpot determination result is a jackpot In addition, in response to the result that the second jackpot induction state is generated for a long period of time, when the predetermined symbol short-term bonus symbol is fixedly displayed on the special symbol display unit 35 (Y in S117), the number of time reductions is 77. When the number of times is set (S118), and the non-temporal big hit symbol that generates the second big hit induction state for a short period is confirmed (S117 is N), 33 times are set as the number of time reductions (S119), FIG. The process shifts to the control processing at the time reduction shown in FIG. The 77 times or 33 times is the number of times the special symbol display unit 35 displays the lost symbol after the big hit state is finished, which is a short time, that is, as a second big hit induction state in which the second big hit is likely to occur. This is an end condition that defines the longest (upper limit) period.

図７は、通常遊技状態において第２大当たり状態の発生契機が成立する過程並びに第２大当たり状態終了後に開始される遊技状態を説明するものである。第２大当たり状態を発生させる最初のステップとして、普通図柄作動ゲート３１に設けられた普通図柄スイッチ１５１を遊技球が通過（Ｓ２０１）すると、主制御基板１３０では、０〜１００の１０１コマからなる当たりカウンタの遊技球が通過した時点の当たりカウンタ値を取得する（Ｓ２０２）。取得した当たりカウンタ値が予め定められた当たり確率１００／１０１に対応して定められた当たり値、例えば「１」〜「１００」と等しいか否かの当たり判定（Ｓ２０３）を行い、当たり・ハズレの当たり判定結果に対応した変動時間（変動態様）が決定され、普通図柄表示部３２の変動時間をセット（Ｓ２０４）して変動が開始される（Ｓ２０５）。所定の変動時間が経過すると変動を停止し、例えば０．５秒の停止表示時間を経て当たり判定結果に対応した当たり図柄又はハズレ図柄が確定表示される（Ｓ２０７）。確定表示された図柄がハズレ図柄（Ｓ２０８がＮ）であれば、普通図柄スイッチ１５１を遊技球が通過するのを待つことになるが、普通図柄においても普通図柄保留ＬＥＤ１４３が設けられており、普通図柄表示部３２が変動開始できない場合は４回を上限として変動開始が保留されており、確定表示された図柄がハズレ図柄（Ｓ２０８がＮ）で普通図柄表示部３２の作動保留回数が１〜４であれば、取得後保留されていたカウンタ値の当たり判定（Ｓ２０３）から開始される。   FIG. 7 illustrates a process in which the occurrence trigger of the second jackpot state is established in the normal gaming state and a gaming state started after the end of the second jackpot state. As a first step of generating the second jackpot state, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol switch 151 provided in the normal symbol operation gate 31 (S201), the main control board 130 is made up of 101 frames of 0 to 100 frames. A win counter value at the time when the game ball of the counter passes is acquired (S202). A hit determination (S203) is performed as to whether or not the acquired hit counter value is equal to a hit value determined corresponding to a predetermined hit probability of 100/101, for example, “1” to “100”. The variation time (variation mode) corresponding to the winning determination result is determined, the variation time of the normal symbol display unit 32 is set (S204), and the variation is started (S205). When the predetermined fluctuation time elapses, the fluctuation is stopped, and a winning symbol or a lost symbol corresponding to the hit determination result is determined and displayed after a stop display time of 0.5 seconds, for example (S207). If the symbol that has been confirmed is a lost symbol (S208 is N), it will wait for the game ball to pass through the normal symbol switch 151, but the normal symbol is also provided with a normal symbol hold LED 143. When the symbol display unit 32 cannot start variation, the variation start is suspended up to four times, the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a lost symbol (S208 is N), and the normal symbol display unit 32 has an operation suspension count of 1 to 4 If so, the process starts from a counter value hit determination (S203) that has been suspended after acquisition.

確定表示された普通図柄が当たり図柄であれば（Ｓ２０８がＹ）、普通電役拡開時間として０．２秒をセット（Ｓ２０９）し、普通電役ソレノイド１４５を作動させて普通電動役物３３が遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換される（Ｓ２１０）。しかしながら、通常遊技状態における拡開時間の０．２秒間では、ほとんど遊技球が入賞することもなく閉口され（Ｓ２１１）、入賞していなければ、普通図柄スイッチ１５１を遊技球が通過するのを待つか保留についての当たり判定に戻る。運良く入賞して、普通電役スイッチ１５３で遊技球が検出されると（Ｓ２１２）、普通電動役物３３が大入賞口Ｂ３７の拡開契機としての機能を付与されているため、大入賞口Ｂ３７の拡開時間として１秒がセット（Ｓ２１３）され、遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換され（Ｓ２１４）、１秒が経過すると再び閉口状態に復帰する（Ｓ２１５）。   If the confirmed normal symbol is a winning symbol (Y in S208), the normal electric utility expansion time is set to 0.2 seconds (S209), the normal electric solenoid 145 is operated, and the normal electric accessory 33 is set. Is converted from a closed state in which the game ball cannot be won to an expanded state in which the game ball can be won (S210). However, in the expansion time of 0.2 seconds in the normal gaming state, the gaming ball is closed with almost no winning (S211), and if not winning, it waits for the gaming ball to pass through the normal symbol switch 151. Or return to the hit judgment for the hold. If the winning ball is luckily and the game ball is detected by the ordinary electric role switch 153 (S212), since the ordinary electric accessory 33 is provided with a function as an expansion opportunity of the big prize opening B37, 1 second is set as the expansion time of B37 (S213), and the game ball is converted from a closed state in which a prize cannot be won to an expanded state in which a game can be won (S214). S215).

拡開された大入賞口Ｂ３７に遊技球が入賞し、大入賞口Ｂスイッチ１５５で検出された後、連通口５１を経て空間５２内へ流入した際に、回転体５８に設けられた３ヶ所の下支え部５９のいずれかが円頂位置に位置すると、該下支え部５９の上に落下した遊技球は、背面に形成された特定領域６０に流入することとなり、特定領域スイッチ１５６を遊技球が通過（Ｓ２１６がＹ）すると、第２大当たり状態を発生させる契機が成立したこととなる。   When a game ball wins the wide open prize opening B37 and is detected by the big prize opening B switch 155 and then flows into the space 52 through the communication opening 51, three places provided in the rotating body 58 are provided. When any one of the lower support portions 59 is positioned at the top of the circle, the game ball that has dropped onto the lower support portion 59 flows into the specific area 60 formed on the back surface, and the game ball moves the specific area switch 156. If it passes (Y in S216), the trigger for generating the second jackpot state is established.

なお、図７では、遊技球が特定領域６０に流入しなければ（Ｓ２１６がＮ）普通図柄表示部の変動開始に戻るとしたが、普通図柄表示部の変動と大入賞口３７の拡開状態変換は一つの流れにはなく並行して進行可能ではあるが因果関係にあることを強調するため便宜的に表現している。また、遊技球が特定領域６０に流入しなければ、普通には一般領域６１に流入することになり一般領域スイッチ１５７で検出されることとなるが、大入賞口Ｂ３７の拡開契機成立には、大入賞口Ｂ３７へ入賞した遊技球の振り分けが確定していることが求められるため、大入賞口Ｂスイッチ１５５で検出された遊技球の数と、特定領域スイッチ１５６と一般領域スイッチ１５７の２ヶ所で検出された遊技球の数が一致しなければ、空間５２のどこかで滞留している可能性があるとして、新たに大入賞口Ｂ３７が拡開されることはない。つまり、大入賞口Ｂ３７に入賞した遊技球についての振り分け結果が確定するまでは新たな拡開状態となることはできないため、大入賞口Ｂ３７の拡開頻度を高めるためには、空間５２での遊技球の流下状態、特に、本実施形態においては、特定領域６０は連通口５１の近傍に配されており、最も距離の遠い一般領域スイッチ１５７で検出されるまでの時間を短縮することが求められる。   In FIG. 7, if the game ball does not flow into the specific area 60 (N in S 216), the normal symbol display unit returns to the start of the change, but the normal symbol display unit changes and the big winning opening 37 is expanded. The transformation is expressed as a matter of convenience to emphasize that it is causal, although it can proceed in parallel and not in one flow. If the game ball does not flow into the specific area 60, it will normally flow into the general area 61 and will be detected by the general area switch 157. Since it is required that the distribution of the game balls won to the big prize opening B37 is determined, the number of game balls detected by the big prize opening B switch 155, the specific area switch 156 and the general area switch 157 If the number of game balls detected at the locations does not match, it is possible that the ball is staying somewhere in the space 52, and the special winning opening B37 is not newly expanded. In other words, since it is not possible to enter a new expanded state until the allocation result for the game balls won in the big prize opening B37 is confirmed, in order to increase the expansion frequency of the big prize opening B37, in the space 52 In the flow-down state of the game ball, particularly in this embodiment, the specific area 60 is arranged in the vicinity of the communication port 51, and it is required to shorten the time until it is detected by the farthest general area switch 157. It is done.

特定領域スイッチ１５６を遊技球が通過（Ｓ２１６がＹ）して第２大当たり状態を発生させる契機が成立すると、２種類の大当たり状態が同時に存在することを避ける措置が講じられる。並行して進行する第１大当たり状態の発生契機である特別図柄表示部３５に大当たり図柄が確定表示されることを防ぐために、特別図柄表示部３５では変動開始時にセットされていた変動時間の計時を、第２大当たり状態が終了するまで一旦中断され、変動が継続した表示状態を続ける（Ｓ２１７）ようにしている。   When the game ball passes through the specific area switch 156 (S216 is Y) and the trigger for generating the second jackpot state is established, measures are taken to avoid the simultaneous existence of two types of jackpot states. In order to prevent the jackpot symbol from being confirmed and displayed on the special symbol display unit 35, which is an opportunity for the occurrence of the first jackpot state that proceeds in parallel, the special symbol display unit 35 counts the variation time set at the start of the variation. The display is suspended until the second jackpot state is finished, and the display state in which the fluctuation continues is continued (S217).

第２大当たり状態になる（Ｓ２１８）と、大入賞口Ａ３６の拡開時間として１４秒をセット（Ｓ２１９）後、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて、遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換する（Ｓ２２０）。拡開された大入賞口Ａ３６へ入賞した遊技球を検出する大入賞口Ａスイッチ１５４が規定個数、例えば９個を検出すると、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて閉口状態に変換（復帰）する。第２大当たり状態は変換回数として６回がセットされているため、変換回数が６回に到達（Ｓ２２３がＹ）するまで拡開状態と閉口状態が繰り返され、第２大当たり状態が終了する（Ｓ２２４）。通常遊技状態下での第２大当たり状態の発生は、第２大当たり誘発状態への移行条件とはならず、第２大当たり状態が終了すれば通常遊技状態に復帰する。   When the second big hit state is reached (S218), 14 seconds is set as the opening time of the big winning opening A36 (S219), and then the big winning opening A solenoid 148 is operated to start the closed state where the game ball cannot win. It is converted into an expanded state where a prize can be won (S220). When the special winning opening A switch 154 that detects a game ball won in the expanded special winning opening A36 detects a predetermined number, for example, nine, the special winning opening A solenoid 148 is operated to convert (return) to the closed state. To do. Since the number of conversions is set to 6 for the second jackpot state, the expanded state and the closed state are repeated until the number of conversions reaches 6 (S223 is Y), and the second jackpot state is ended (S224). ). The occurrence of the second jackpot state under the normal gaming state is not a condition for shifting to the second jackpot inducing state, and returns to the normal gaming state when the second jackpot state ends.

図８は、時短遊技状態、即ち第２大当たり誘発状態において第１大当たり状態の発生契機が成立する過程並びに第１大当たり状態終了後に開始される遊技状態を説明するものである。通常時同様、第１大当たり状態を発生させる最初のステップとして、特別図柄始動口３４に設けられた特別図柄スイッチ１５２を遊技球が通過（Ｓ３０１）すると、通過した時点の大当たりカウンタ値を取得し（Ｓ３０２）、取得した大当たりカウンタ値についての大当たり判定（Ｓ３０３）を行い、大当たり・ハズレの大当たり判定結果に対応した変動時間が決定され、特別図柄表示部３５の変動時間がセット（Ｓ３０４）され、変動開始後確定表示される（Ｓ３０７）。第２大当たり誘発状態下では特別図柄表示部の変動時間は０．５秒に短縮されており、停止表示時間の０．５秒を加えても、１回の変動に要する時間は１秒にしかならない。また、特別図柄始動口３４への入賞が球流下路７０を流下した遊技球に限定され、球流下路７０の流入口６３へ流入する度合いについても、大当たり確率についても、第２大当たり誘発状態下での値が通常遊技状態よりも勝る要因は何もないため、第２大当たり誘発状態下での第１大当たり状態が発生するまでに要する期間は通常遊技状態と大差ない。   FIG. 8 illustrates a short-time gaming state, that is, a process in which the occurrence trigger of the first jackpot state is established in the second jackpot inducing state and a gaming state started after the end of the first jackpot state. As usual, as a first step to generate the first jackpot state, when the game ball passes through the special symbol switch 152 provided in the special symbol start port 34 (S301), the jackpot counter value at the time of passing is acquired ( S302), the jackpot determination (S303) is performed on the acquired jackpot counter value, the variation time corresponding to the jackpot / losing jackpot determination result is determined, the variation time of the special symbol display unit 35 is set (S304), and the variation After the start, it is confirmed and displayed (S307). Under the second jackpot induction state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol display part is shortened to 0.5 seconds, and even if 0.5 seconds of the stop display time is added, the time required for one fluctuation is only 1 second. Don't be. In addition, the winning to the special symbol starting port 34 is limited to the game balls that have flowed down the ball flow down path 70, the degree of inflow into the inlet 63 of the ball flow down path 70, the jackpot probability, Since there is no factor that the value of is better than the normal gaming state, the time required for the occurrence of the first jackpot state under the second jackpot induction state is not much different from the normal gaming state.

確定された図柄がハズレ図柄であれば（Ｓ３０８がＮ）、時短回数を１回減算し（Ｓ３０９）、残り回数が０回になるまで（Ｓ３１０がＮ）は第２大当たり誘発状態が継続される。残り回数が０回になれば（Ｓ３１０がＹ）第２大当たり誘発状態は終了し、通常遊技状態に移行する。   If the confirmed symbol is a losing symbol (N in S308), the number of time reductions is subtracted once (S309), and the second big hit induction state is continued until the remaining number of times becomes zero (N in S310). . When the remaining number of times becomes zero (Y in S310), the second jackpot induction state is finished, and the state shifts to the normal game state.

確定された図柄が大当たり図柄であれば（Ｓ３０８がＹ）であれば、第２大当たり状態の発生を決定づける特定領域６０に設けられた特定領域スイッチ１５６を無効化し（Ｓ３１１）、大入賞口Ａ３６の拡開時間として１４秒をセット（Ｓ３１３）後、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて入賞可能な拡開状態に変換する。拡開された大入賞口Ａ３６へ入賞した遊技球を検出する大入賞口Ａスイッチ１５４が規定個数、例えば９個を検出すると、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて閉口状態に変換し、変換回数が１６回に到達（Ｓ３１７がＹ）するまで拡開状態と閉口状態が繰り返えされた後、第１大当たり状態が終了する（Ｓ３１８）。大当たり図柄が所定の時短大当たり図柄であれば（Ｓ３１９がＹ）時短回数として７７回を再度セットし（Ｓ３２０）第２大当たり誘発状態が開始される。非時短大当たり図柄が確定表示（Ｓ３１９がＮ）されると、時短回数を３３回として（Ｓ３２１）第２大当たり誘発状態が開始される。   If the confirmed symbol is a jackpot symbol (S308 is Y), the specific area switch 156 provided in the specific area 60 that determines the occurrence of the second jackpot state is invalidated (S311), and the winning prize opening A36 After 14 seconds are set as the expansion time (S313), the special winning opening A solenoid 148 is operated to convert to an expanded state in which a prize can be won. When the special winning opening A switch 154 that detects a game ball won in the expanded special winning opening A36 detects a predetermined number, for example, nine, the special winning opening A solenoid 148 is operated to convert it to the closed state. After the expanded state and the closed state are repeated until the number of times reaches 16 (Y in S317), the first jackpot state ends (S318). If the jackpot symbol is a predetermined bonus symbol (S319 is Y), 77 times is again set as the number of times (S320), and the second jackpot induction state is started. When the non-temporal jackpot symbol is fixedly displayed (N in S319), the second jackpot induction state is started by setting the number of hourly times to 33 (S321).

図９は、第２大当たり誘発状態において第２大当たり状態の発生契機が成立する過程並びに第２大当たり状態終了後に開始される遊技状態を説明するものである。第２大当たり状態を発生させる最初のステップとして、普通図柄作動ゲート３１に設けられた普通図柄スイッチ１５１を遊技球が通過（Ｓ４０１）すると、遊技球が通過した時点の当たりカウンタ値を取得（Ｓ４０２）し、取得した当たりカウンタ値の当たり判定（Ｓ４０３）を行い、普通図柄表示部３２の変動時間に４秒をセット（Ｓ４０４）して変動が開始される（Ｓ４０５）。変動時間が経過すると変動を停止し、停止表示時間を経て当たり判定結果に対応した当たり図柄又はハズレ図柄が確定表示される（Ｓ４０７）。確定表示された図柄がハズレ図柄（Ｓ４０８がＮ）であれば、普通図柄表示部３２の変動開始前に戻る。   FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a process in which the second big hit state trigger is established in the second big hit induction state and a gaming state started after the second big hit state ends. As a first step of generating the second big hit state, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol switch 151 provided in the normal symbol operation gate 31 (S401), a win counter value at the time when the game ball passes is obtained (S402). Then, the hit determination of the acquired hit counter value is performed (S403), the change time of the normal symbol display unit 32 is set to 4 seconds (S404), and the change is started (S405). When the fluctuation time elapses, the fluctuation is stopped, and a winning symbol or a lost symbol corresponding to the hit determination result is determined and displayed after the stop display time (S407). If the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a lost symbol (S408 is N), the normal symbol display unit 32 returns to before the start of variation.

確定表示された普通図柄が当たり図柄であれば（Ｓ４０８がＹ）、普通電役拡開時間として５．９秒をセット（Ｓ４０９）し、普通電役ソレノイド１４５を作動させて普通電動役物３３が遊技球が拡開状態に変換される（Ｓ４１０）。普通電役スイッチ１５３で遊技球が検出されると（Ｓ４１２がＹ）大入賞口Ｂ３７の拡開時間がセット（Ｓ４１３）され、遊技球が入賞不可能な閉口状態から入賞可能な拡開状態に変換され（Ｓ４１４）、１秒が経過すると再び閉口状態に復帰する（Ｓ４１５）。   If the confirmed normal symbol is a winning symbol (Y in S408), 5.9 seconds is set as the normal electric utility expansion time (S409), the normal electric solenoid 145 is operated, and the normal electric accessory 33 is set. Is converted into an expanded state (S410). When a game ball is detected by the normal power switch 153 (Y in S412), the expansion time of the big winning opening B37 is set (S413), and the game ball is changed from a closed state where winning is not possible to an expanded state where winning is possible. Conversion is performed (S414), and after 1 second, the closed state is restored (S415).

特定領域スイッチ１５６を遊技球が通過（Ｓ４１６がＹ）すると、特別図柄表示部３５の変動表示を継続させ（Ｓ４１７）、第２大当たり状態を開始させる（Ｓ４１８）。大入賞口Ａ３６の拡開時間として１４秒をセット（Ｓ４１９）後、大入賞口Ａソレノイド１４８を作動させて、拡開状態に変換（Ｓ４２０）し、大入賞口Ａ３６へ規定個数が入賞すると、一旦閉口状態に変換し、この変換回数が６回に到達（Ｓ４２３がＹ）するまで拡開状態と閉口状態が繰り返される。第２大当たり状態が終了する（Ｓ４２４）と、時短回数に３３回をセット（Ｓ４２５）して、再び、第２大当たり誘発状態に移行する。このため、この後、時短回数３３という有限期間中に第２大当たり状態の発生が繰り返されれば、第２大当たり誘発状態と第２大当たり状態が繰り返えされることになる。   When the game ball passes through the specific area switch 156 (Y in S416), the variation display of the special symbol display unit 35 is continued (S417), and the second big hit state is started (S418). After setting 14 seconds as the expansion time of the big prize opening A36 (S419), the big prize opening A solenoid 148 is operated to change to the expanded state (S420), and when the prescribed number is awarded to the big prize opening A36, Once converted into the closed state, the expanded state and the closed state are repeated until the number of conversions reaches 6 (S423 is Y). When the second jackpot state is finished (S424), 33 is set as the number of time reductions (S425), and the state is again shifted to the second jackpot induction state. For this reason, after this, if the occurrence of the second jackpot state is repeated during the finite period of time reduction 33, the second jackpot induction state and the second jackpot state are repeated.

大入賞口Ｂ３７の拡開時間は、通常遊技状態・第２大当たり誘発状態共に１秒に設定されているが、第２大当たり誘発状態では普通電役拡開時間が５．９秒と通常遊技状態の拡開時間０．２秒と比べて格段に延長されており、高い確率で遊技球が入賞することとなる。本実施形態においては、普通電動役物３３の通常遊技状態での入賞率は約１個／分に対して、第２大当たり誘発状態では約８．３個／分の値が得られている。拡開された大入賞口Ｂ３７への入賞率も、通常遊技状態では約０．９個／分に対して、第２大当たり誘発状態では約７．５個／分と、僅かに下回るが拡開された回数に近い値を示している。ここで特定領域６０の通過率が１／３２となるように回転体５８の回転数等が設定されている場合の第２大当たり誘発状態期間中に特定領域スイッチ１５６を遊技球が通過する可能性を検証してみる。   The expansion time of the big prize winning opening B37 is set to 1 second in both the normal gaming state and the second jackpot inducing state, but in the second jackpot inducing state, the normal electric role expanding time is 5.9 seconds and the normal gaming state. The expansion time is greatly extended compared to 0.2 seconds, and the game ball wins with a high probability. In the present embodiment, the winning rate in the normal gaming state of the ordinary electric accessory 33 is about 1 piece / minute, while the value of about 8.3 pieces / minute is obtained in the second jackpot induction state. The winning rate for the expanded grand prize opening B37 is slightly lower, about 0.9 / min in the normal gaming state, and about 7.5 / min in the second big hit inducing state. The value is close to the number of times performed. Here, there is a possibility that the game ball may pass through the specific area switch 156 during the second jackpot induction state period when the rotational speed of the rotating body 58 is set so that the passing rate of the specific area 60 becomes 1/32. Let's verify.

第２大当たり誘発状態の終了条件は、特別図柄表示部のハズレ変動回数で規定されており、特別図柄始動口３４への入賞個数が約５．３個／分であることから、第２大当たり誘発状態への移行条件が非時短大当たり図柄による時短回数３３回に設定された場合でも、第２大当たり誘発状態は約６．２分間継続されることになり、その間の大入賞口Ｂ３７への総入賞数は４６．５個となる。特定領域６０の通過率が１／３２であっても、１個の遊技球が通過するに必要とされる３２個を大きく上回る４６．５個が入賞するため、計算上、数値的には十分第２大当たり状態が発生することとなり、第２大当たり誘発状態下での第２大当たり状態の発生は再び第２大当たり誘発状態への移行が約束されるため、うまくすれば、第１大当たり状態の発生後、第２大当たり状態が連続して繰り返す、所謂連チャン状態に突入することも十分あり得る。これが、時短大当たり図柄による７７回の第２大当たり誘発状態期間中であれば、ほぼ１００％第２大当たり誘発状態期間中に第２大当たり状態が発生し、少なくとも第１大当たり状態と第２大当たり状態が１セットとして約束された上、更なる第２大当たり状態の連チャンへの期待が遊技者を興奮させる。   The end condition of the second jackpot induction state is defined by the number of times of variation in the special symbol display section, and the number of winnings to the special symbol start port 34 is about 5.3 / min. Even if the transition condition to the state is set to 33 times of hour and hour by the non-time and jackpot symbol, the second jackpot induction state will be continued for about 6.2 minutes, during which the total winning to the big prize opening B37 The number is 46.5. Even if the passing rate of the specific area 60 is 1/32, 46.5, which greatly exceeds the 32 required for one game ball to pass, will win, so it is numerically sufficient for calculation. The second jackpot state will occur, and the occurrence of the second jackpot state under the second jackpot trigger state is promised to transition to the second jackpot trigger state again, and if successful, the first jackpot state will occur After that, it may be possible to enter a so-called continuous state where the second big hit state repeats continuously. If this is during 77 second jackpot induction state periods according to the short and big jackpot symbol, the second jackpot state occurs during the second jackpot induction state period almost 100%, and at least the first jackpot state and the second jackpot state are at least In addition to being promised as a set, the expectation for the second consecutive big hit state will excite the player.

次に、本願要部について図２〜図４を用いて説明する。２種類の大当たり状態の開始契機が互いに独立で並行して進行するといっても、それぞれの大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程をより確認しやすいように、関連する部位の設置位置に工夫が施してある。   Next, the main part of the present application will be described with reference to FIGS. Even if the two types of jackpot start triggers proceed independently and in parallel, the installation positions of the related parts are devised so that it is easier to confirm the formation process of each jackpot start trigger. is there.

第１大当たり状態の直接の開始契機は特別図柄表示部３５に大当たり図柄が確定表示されることであるが、大当たり図柄の確定表示されやすさは、特別図柄表示部３５の単位時間当たりの変動開始頻度、即ち、始動領域である特別図柄始動口３４への遊技球の入賞頻度が関わってくる。本実施形態においては、図２〜図４で示すように、特別図柄始動口３４へ入賞する遊技球は、遊技領域３０の中間高さ位置に設けられた流入口６３へ流入して球流下路７０を流下した遊技球に限定され、しかも、経路途中に分岐を持たない球流下路７０の出口となる放出口６７は、特別図柄始動口３４の真上に位置しており、放出口６７から放出された遊技球は極めて高い確率で特別図柄始動口３４に入賞する。一方、流入口６３へ流入しなかった遊技球は、下流に植設された障害釘群６９によって流下する経路が規制されて、特別図柄始動口３４へ直接入賞する機会が奪われ、さらにセンター役物５０の前板６６によって球流下路７０への跳び込みが防がれているため、特別図柄始動口３４へ入賞の可能性が失われている。遊技者は遊技領域３０中央下方の特別図柄始動口３４近傍で流下してくる遊技球の入賞具合を見ずとも、中間高さ位置に設けられた流入口６３近傍に流下してくる遊技球の流入具合を確認すれば良く、しかもその流入口６３は、特別図柄表示部３５の表示と同期して、演出画像を表示する液晶演出表示装置４５の下方近くに位置している。   The direct start trigger of the first jackpot state is that the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed on the special symbol display unit 35, but the ease with which the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed is the start of fluctuation per unit time of the special symbol display unit 35. The frequency, that is, the winning frequency of the game ball to the special symbol starting port 34 which is the starting region is involved. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the game ball that wins the special symbol starting port 34 flows into the inflow port 63 provided at the intermediate height position of the game area 30 and flows down the ball flow path. The discharge port 67 that is limited to the game ball that has flowed down 70, and that is the exit of the ball flow down channel 70 that does not have a branch in the middle of the route, is located directly above the special symbol start port 34, and The released game ball wins the special symbol start opening 34 with a very high probability. On the other hand, the game balls that have not flowed into the inflow port 63 are restricted from flowing down by the obstacle nail group 69 planted downstream, and the opportunity to win a prize directly to the special symbol start port 34 is deprived. Since the front plate 66 of the object 50 is prevented from jumping into the ball flow down path 70, the possibility of winning a prize to the special symbol starting port 34 is lost. Even if the player does not see the winning state of the game ball flowing down in the vicinity of the special symbol starting port 34 below the center of the game area 30, the game ball flowing down in the vicinity of the inlet 63 provided at the intermediate height position is displayed. What is necessary is just to confirm the inflow condition, and the inflow port 63 is located near the lower part of the liquid crystal effect display device 45 that displays the effect image in synchronization with the display of the special symbol display unit 35.

このため、第１大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程に関心を抱く遊技者にとっては、液晶演出表示装置４５とその下方の流入口６３近傍に注目すれば良く、しかも、位置的に近く、かつ、両者の設置位置間には別の大当たり開始契機に関わる構造物等が存在しないので状況が把握しやすく、液晶演出表示装置４の演出画像と遊技球の挙動だけに集中でき、演出画像を見ながら、流入口６３への流入度合いに応じた発射力調整が可能となるため、都合が良いだけでなく、視点を大きく動かす必要の無いので疲労も軽減できる。   For this reason, for a player who is interested in the process of starting the first big hit state, it is only necessary to pay attention to the vicinity of the liquid crystal effect display device 45 and the inflow port 63 below the liquid crystal effect display device 45, and Since there is no structure related to another jackpot start opportunity between the two installation positions, it is easy to grasp the situation, and it is possible to concentrate only on the effect image of the liquid crystal effect display device 4 and the behavior of the game ball, while watching the effect image Since the firing force can be adjusted according to the degree of inflow into the inflow port 63, it is not only convenient, but also the fatigue can be reduced because it is not necessary to move the viewpoint greatly.

本実施形態においては、遊技領域３０の上方の左右対象位置に、時短報知演出装置４０と液晶演出表示装置４５とが設けられ、遊技領域３０の中央位置に打ち込まれた遊技球も含め全てがセンター役物５０の上方のエリアに集められ、その後、センター役物５０の鎧部６２によって左右外側方向へ向かって誘導され、普通図柄作動ゲート３１と流入口６３が並設されたエリア近傍を流下するため、遊技領域３０の時短報知演出装置４０と液晶演出表示装置４５とによって規制された範囲内である中央エリアに打ち込めば、特別図柄始動口３４へは安定した案内状況が得られるため、発射された遊技球の飛びムラによる影響を受けることもなく、また、特別図柄始動口３４への直接跳び込みやセンター役物５０の転動面６４への跳び込み状況によって打ち込み位置を微妙に調整したり、打ち分けをする必要もなく、誰にでも分かり易く、安心して第１大当たり状態への発生に期待しての遊技ができる。 In the present embodiment, the short-time notification effect device 40 and the liquid crystal effect display device 45 are provided at the left and right target positions above the game area 30, and all the game balls including the game ball that is driven into the center position of the game area 30 are centered. Collected in the area above the accessory 50, and then guided toward the left and right outwards by the armor portion 62 of the center accessory 50, and flows down near the area where the normal symbol operation gate 31 and the inflow port 63 are arranged in parallel. For this reason, if the driver is driven into the central area within the range restricted by the short-time notification effect device 40 and the liquid crystal effect display device 45 in the game area 30, the special symbol starting port 34 can be obtained because a stable guidance situation is obtained. The game ball is not affected by jumping unevenness of the game ball, and is directly jumped into the special symbol starting port 34 or into the rolling surface 64 of the center accessory 50. You can slightly adjust the driving position I, it is not necessary to the divided out, easy to understand anyone, it is a game of looking forward to the occurrence of with confidence to the first jackpot state.

また、第２大当たり状態の直接の開始契機は特定領域６０を遊技球が通過することであるが、その前の段階が第１大当たり状態のように単純ではなく、特定領域６０を遊技球が通過するには特定領域６０を内部に備えた大入賞口Ｂ３７へ入賞する必要があり、大入賞口Ｂ３７が入賞可能に変換されるには大入賞口Ｂ３７の変換契機が成立することが必要であり、大入賞口Ｂ３７の変換契機としての機能が付与された普通電動役物３３は普通図柄表示部３２に当たり図柄が確定する必要があり、普通図柄表示部３２が変動を開始するには普通図柄作動ゲート３１を遊技球が通過する必要がある。   In addition, the direct start trigger of the second jackpot state is that the game ball passes through the specific area 60, but the previous stage is not as simple as the first jackpot state, and the game ball passes through the specific area 60 To win, it is necessary to win a prize winning opening B37 having a specific area 60 therein, and in order to convert the prize winning opening B37 to be able to win, it is necessary to establish a conversion opportunity for the prize winning opening B37. The normal electric accessory 33 to which the function as a conversion opportunity of the special prize opening B37 is given needs to hit the normal symbol display unit 32, and the symbol needs to be fixed, and the normal symbol operation is required for the normal symbol display unit 32 to start changing. A game ball needs to pass through the gate 31.

第２大当たり状態の起点となる普通図柄作動ゲート３１は、第１大当たり状態の起点となる特別図柄始動口３４への唯一の経路となる球流下路７０の入口である流入口６３と並んで設けられており、遊技領域３０に１００個／分のペースで打ち込まれた遊技球は、時短報知演出装置４０と液晶演出表示装置４５によってセンター役物５０の上方に向かって誘導され、さらにセンター役物５０の鎧部６２上を転動した遊技球の多くが普通図柄作動ゲート３１と流入口６３の近傍を流下するが、その内流入口６３へ流入する度合いは約６個／分に留まり、その数倍にあたる遊技球が普通図柄作動ゲート３１を通過するが、普通図柄の保留数は上限４個までであるため、ほとんど常に普通図柄保留数表示部３９は満杯状態に保たれ、遊技者からみれば通過状況を確認する必要が全くない状態となるため、遊技領域３０の中央位置に第２大当たり状態の開始契機の進み具合と対応するように、上方から下方に向かって普通電動役物３３、大入賞口Ｂ３７、センター役物５０が順に並べて設けられていることは、第２大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程に関心を抱く遊技者にとっては関連部位がセンターラインに集約配置されているため、状況が把握しやすく、かつ、ステップの進み具合に応じて視線を下げるだけで良く、疲労も少ない。   The normal symbol operation gate 31 that is the starting point of the second jackpot state is provided side by side with the inflow port 63 that is the inlet of the ball flow downstream 70 that is the only path to the special symbol starting port 34 that is the starting point of the first jackpot state. The game ball that is driven into the game area 30 at a rate of 100 pieces / minute is guided upward of the center accessory 50 by the short-time notification effect device 40 and the liquid crystal effect display device 45, and further the center character Many of the game balls that have rolled on the 50 armor parts 62 flow down in the vicinity of the normal symbol operation gate 31 and the inflow port 63, but the rate of flowing into the inner inflow port 63 remains at about 6 pieces / min. A game ball equivalent to several times passes through the normal symbol operation gate 31, but since the number of normal symbols held is up to four, the normal symbol hold number display section 39 is almost always kept full, as seen by the player. Since there is no need to check the passing situation at all, the normal electric accessory 33, large from the top to the bottom so as to correspond to the progress of the start trigger of the second big hit state at the center position of the gaming area 30 The prize opening B37 and the center role 50 are arranged in order because the related parts are centrally arranged in the center line for players who are interested in the process of starting the second jackpot state. Is easy to grasp, and it is only necessary to lower the line of sight according to the progress of the step, and there is less fatigue.

しかしながら、並行して進行する２種類の大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程を、交互に着目するのでは、集約配置された２エリアを交互に確認することになり、せっかくの集約配置の効果が薄らぐ恐れがあるため、本願構成では、遊技状態によってそれぞれの開始契機の成立し易さに明らかな違いを持たせ、遊技状態別に注視すべきエリアを固定できるようにしている。   However, if attention is paid alternately to the formation process of the two kinds of jackpot states that proceed in parallel, the two concentrated areas are alternately confirmed, and the effect of the concentrated arrangement is reduced. Since there is a fear, in the configuration of the present application, there is a clear difference in the easiness of establishment of each start opportunity depending on the gaming state, and the area to be watched can be fixed for each gaming state.

通常遊技状態においては、図７に示すように第２大当たり状態の開始契機に係る普通電動役物３３の拡開時間はわずか０．２秒であるため、拡開状態となっても必ずしも入賞するわけとは行かずその入賞率は約１個／分、その入賞を拡開契機として拡開された大入賞口Ｂ３７への入賞率約０．９個／分に対し、第１大当たり状態の開始契機に係る特別図柄始動口３４への入賞個数が約６．１個／分と第１大当たり状態の開始契機が成立し易く、しかも、液晶演出表示装置４５の演出表示も１回につき平均１０秒ずつ行われるため、ほぼ途切れることなく次々と演出表示が開始されているため、必然的に遊技者の注意は第１大当たり状態の開始契機の成立過程に集められる。   In the normal gaming state, as shown in FIG. 7, the expansion time of the ordinary electric accessory 33 related to the start of the second jackpot state is only 0.2 seconds. The winning rate is about 1 piece / minute, and the first big hit state starts for the winning rate of about 0.9 pieces / minute for the big winning opening B37, which was expanded as a result of the winning. The number of winnings to the special symbol start opening 34 relating to the opportunity is about 6.1 pieces / minute, and the start trigger of the first big hit state is easily established, and the display of the effect display of the liquid crystal effect display device 45 is 10 seconds on average. Since the performance display is started one after another almost without interruption, the player's attention is inevitably gathered in the establishment process of the start of the first jackpot state.

ところが、第２大当たり誘発状態においては、図９に示すように第２大当たり状態の開始契機に係る普通電動役物３３の拡開時間が０．２秒から５．９秒に延長されており、入賞率は約８．３個／分、拡開された大入賞口Ｂ３７への入賞率約７．５個／分と大幅に増加している。一方、第１大当たり状態の開始契機に係る特別図柄始動口３４への入賞個数は、上流側での普通電動役物３３や大入賞口Ｂ３７への入賞数増加により、普通図柄作動ゲート３１と流入口６３の近傍を流下する遊技球数の絶対数が減少するため、約５．３個／分と通常遊技状態の時より減少し、第１大当たりと第２大当たりの発生しやすさは完全に逆転している。   However, in the second jackpot induction state, as shown in FIG. 9, the expansion time of the ordinary electric accessory 33 related to the start of the second jackpot state is extended from 0.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds, The winning rate is about 8.3 pieces / minute, and the winning rate for the expanded large winning opening B37 is about 7.5 pieces / minute, which is greatly increased. On the other hand, the number of winnings to the special symbol starting port 34 related to the start of the first big hit state is the same as that of the normal symbol operating gate 31 due to the increase in the number of winnings to the ordinary electric accessory 33 and the big winning port B37 on the upstream side. Since the absolute number of game balls flowing down the vicinity of the entrance 63 decreases, it is about 5.3 per minute, which is less than in the normal game state, and the likelihood of occurrence of the first big hit and the second big hit is completely It is reversed.

センター役物５０に設けられた特定領域６０は、大入賞口Ｂ３７との連通口５１の直下に配置されており、振り分け部５７の振り分け様式が、回転する回転体５８の下支え部５９がタイミング良く特定領域６０の前面位置にある時に、下支え部５９上に遊技球が落下したときに限り特定領域６０へ案内可能となるため、大入賞口Ｂ３７へ入賞してから特定領域６０に流入するまでの時間が短く、瞬間の出来事に近い。そのため、例えば、遊技者が液晶演出表示装置４５の演出表示に気を取られると、遊技球が特定領域６０に流入する瞬間を見逃す危険性がある。   The specific area 60 provided in the center accessory 50 is arranged immediately below the communication port 51 with the special prize opening B37, and the distribution mode of the distribution unit 57 is that the support portion 59 of the rotating rotating body 58 is in good timing. Since it is possible to guide to the specific area 60 only when the game ball falls on the lower support portion 59 when it is at the front position of the specific area 60, it is possible to enter the specific area 60 after winning the big prize opening B37. The time is short and close to the moment. Therefore, for example, if the player is distracted by the effect display on the liquid crystal effect display device 45, there is a risk of missing the moment when the game ball flows into the specific area 60.

第２大当たり誘発状態においては、普通電動役物３３の拡開時間が延長されることに因り、関連する部材の作動率を比較すると、数値的に第２大当たり状態の方が開始契機が成立し易くなっており、その成立過程に関心を寄せてもらえるはずであるが、遊技球が大入賞口Ｂ３７へ入賞してから特定領域６０に流入するまでの時間が短いため、特定領域６０に流入する瞬間を見逃さないようにするため、遊技者の液晶演出表示装置４５の演出表示への関心を強制的に喪失させるようにしている。通常遊技状態では、特別図柄表示部３５及び液晶演出表示装置４５の変動時間が平均１０秒に対して、第２大当たり誘発状態においては０．５秒に短縮し、停止表示時間０．５秒を加えても、１回の変動開始から確定表示されるまでの時間は１秒に過ぎない。特別図柄始動口３４への入賞頻度もほぼ通常遊技状態の頻度が維持された５．３個／分ということは、１分間のうち特別図柄表示部３５及び液晶演出表示装置４５が変動表示と関わった時間は５．３秒間で、さらに、停止表示時間も加えると、純粋に変動表示している時間は６０秒のうち２．６５秒しかなく、残りの５４．７秒は非変動表示時間ということになる。つまり表示時間のうち９５％以上を非変動表示時間となるため、遊技者が液晶演出表示装置４５の表示が気になっても、第２大当たり誘発状態の期間中は、ほとんど表示状態が変化することなく固定表示を続けるため、遊技者がそれでも見続けることはしなくなり、液晶演出表示装置４５への関心を喪失させることができる。   In the second jackpot induction state, due to the fact that the expansion time of the ordinary electric accessory 33 is extended, when the operation rates of the related members are compared, the start trigger is established numerically in the second jackpot state. Although it is easy and should be interested in the formation process, since it takes a short time for the game ball to flow into the special area 60 after winning the winning prize opening B37, it flows into the specific area 60. In order not to miss the moment, the player's interest in the effect display of the liquid crystal effect display device 45 is forcibly lost. In the normal gaming state, the variation time of the special symbol display unit 35 and the liquid crystal effect display device 45 is reduced to 0.5 seconds in the second jackpot induction state, while the variation time of the liquid crystal effect display device 45 is 10 seconds on average, and the stop display time is 0.5 seconds. In addition, the time from the start of one change to the final display is only 1 second. The winning frequency at the special symbol starting port 34 is 5.3 / min, where the frequency of the normal gaming state is maintained. The special symbol display unit 35 and the liquid crystal effect display device 45 are related to the variable display within one minute. When the display time is 5.3 seconds and the stop display time is added, the purely variable display time is only 2.65 seconds out of 60 seconds, and the remaining 54.7 seconds is the non-change display time. It will be. That is, since 95% or more of the display time is non-variable display time, even if the player is concerned about the display of the liquid crystal effect display device 45, the display state changes almost during the second jackpot induction state. Since the fixed display is continued without the player, the player will never continue to watch and the interest in the liquid crystal effect display device 45 can be lost.

替わりに、第２大当たり状態の開始契機の成立ステップにおいては、普通電動役物３３が頻繁に、かつ、最長５．９秒に亘って拡開状態に変換され、その普通電動役物３３へ遊技球が入賞すると、その下方にある大入賞口Ｂ３７が約８．３回／分、７秒に１回の頻度で拡開状態に変換され、さらに大入賞口Ｂ３７へ入賞し、直下の連通口を経て振り分け部５７に流入した遊技球の振り分け状態に着目するように遊技者を誘導・誘引することができる。特に、振り分け部５７の振り分け様式が、回転する回転体５８の下支え部５９が特定領域６０の前面位置にある時に、下支え部５９上に遊技球が落下したときに限り特定領域６０へ案内可能であって、大入賞口Ｂ３７へ入賞してから特定領域６０に流入するまでが短時間の出来事となるので、入賞状況・振り分け状況を同時に確認できるように近接配置されているのは都合がよい。   Instead, in the establishment step of the start timing of the second jackpot state, the ordinary electric accessory 33 is frequently converted into the expanded state for a maximum of 5.9 seconds, and the game is transferred to the ordinary electric accessory 33. When the ball wins, the big prize opening B37 below it is converted to an expanded state at a frequency of about 8.3 times / min, once every 7 seconds, and further wins the big prize opening B37, and the direct communication opening Thus, the player can be guided and attracted so as to pay attention to the distribution state of the game balls flowing into the distribution unit 57. In particular, the sorting mode of the sorting unit 57 can be guided to the specific region 60 only when a game ball falls on the support portion 59 when the lower support portion 59 of the rotating rotator 58 is in the front position of the specific region 60. Thus, since it takes a short time from winning a prize to the special winning opening B37 until it flows into the specific area 60, it is convenient to arrange them close together so that the winning situation and the distributing situation can be confirmed at the same time.
