Not shown). A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7, and then descends the game area 7. If the game ball enters the start winning opening 14 and is detected by the start opening switch 14a, the special symbol indicator is displayed if the variation display of the special symbol can be started (for example, the end of the big hit game or the end of the previous variation display). In FIG. 8, the variation display (variation) of the special symbol is started, and the variation display device 745 starts the variation display of the decorative symbol. If the special symbol variation display cannot be started, the reserved memory number for the special symbol storage memory indicator 18 is increased by one.

  The variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 and the decorative symbol of the variation display device 745 stops when a predetermined time has elapsed. When the stop symbol at the time of stoppage becomes a jackpot symbol (specific display result), the game shifts to a jackpot game state. That is, the game state shifts to a specific game state that is advantageous to the player as compared to a normal state other than the big hit game state. In a specific gaming state (big hit gaming state), a special variable winning ball apparatus until a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of gaming balls wins a big winning opening. 20 is opened. It should be noted that one round in the big hit gaming state is a period from when the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is released until a predetermined period elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hitting balls wins a big winning opening. In this embodiment, the big hit gaming state is continued for 15 rounds.

  The variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 and the variation display of the decorative symbol on the variation display device 745 are synchronized. Here, “synchronization” means that the variable display period is the same. When the special symbol display 8 stops displaying the big hit symbols (for example, symbols “00” to “99” other than “-”), the left, right and right decorative symbols are aligned on the variable display device 745. (For example, “222” or “777”) is stopped and displayed. Hereinafter, the fact that the left and right decorative symbols are aligned and displayed on the variable display device 745 is expressed as a big hit symbol (specific display result) of the decorative symbols being displayed.

  When the variable display device 745 is stopped and displayed in an odd number of decorative patterns (“1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”) in the middle left and right (for example, “777”), the big hit game When the jackpot game state ends, the probability change state (probability fluctuation) as a special gaming state advantageous to the player who judges the jackpot with a higher probability (ratio) than the normal gaming state when the jackpot determination is made It is a state, also called a high probability state). That is, when the display result of the variation display device 745 becomes a special display result of the display results of the jackpot symbol, it becomes a more advantageous state for the player in the probable change state. In this embodiment, the gaming state is shifted to the probability changing state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied. Specifically, it is determined that the probability is changed internally, and when the symbol change symbol is stopped as a stop symbol at the end of the decorative symbol variation display as described above (an odd number of symbols in the middle left and right are aligned) When the display is stopped and the decoration symbol is “123” or “357”, the transition is made to a certain change state as a predetermined transition condition is satisfied.

  As described above, among the decorative symbols “0” to “9”, an odd number of decorative symbols that cause a probability variation state is referred to as a probability variation symbol, and an even number of decorative symbols that do not cause a probability variation state is referred to as a non-probability variation symbol. . Further, the fact that the variable display device 745 is stopped and displayed in a state where the odd left and right decorative symbols are aligned is expressed as a display of a probabilistic variable symbol (special display result) of the decorative symbol.

  In this embodiment, when it is predetermined to make a probable big hit, control is performed so as to shift to a high probability state and to shift to a short time state in which the variation time of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is shortened. In that case, it is only necessary to set a time reduction flag separately from the probability change flag and reduce the variation time based on the time reduction flag. In addition, when changing the gaming state to the probable state, simply changing to a high probability state in which the probability that a special symbol or decorative symbol will be a big hit symbol is increased, the probability that a normal symbol will be a winning symbol, or a variable prize The probability that a normal symbol becomes a winning symbol without changing the state of the opening time and the number of times of opening in the ball device 15 and the change in the state of the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball device 15 are set to the short time state (the short time flag is set It is only necessary to execute the control based on the fact that the controlled state is controlled.

  For example, when it is a probable big hit, the game state is shifted to a high probability state, and the game ball is likely to start and win (that is, the execution condition of the variable display in the special symbol display device 8 and the variable display device 745 is satisfied). Transition to a high base state, which is a gaming state controlled to be easy to do. In the high base state, for example, the frequency at which the variable winning ball device 15 is opened or the time during which the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state is increased as compared to the case where the high base state is not set. It becomes easier to win a start.

  Instead of extending the time during which the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state (also referred to as the open extended state), the normal symbol display unit 10 shifts to a normal symbol probability changing state in which the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display unit 10 will be a hit symbol is increased. Depending on the situation, the high base state may be entered. When the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. In this case, by performing the transition control to the normal symbol probability changing state, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the frequency at which the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened is increased. Therefore, if the normal symbol probability changing state is entered, the opening time and the number of opening times of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are increased, and a state in which a start winning is easily made (high base state) is achieved. That is, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 can be increased when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol or the stop symbol of the special symbol is a probabilistic symbol. It changes to an advantageous state (a state where it is easy to win a start). It should be noted that increasing the number of times of opening is a concept including changing from a closed state to an open state.

  Moreover, you may transfer to a high base state by shifting to the normal symbol time-short state where the fluctuation time (variation display period) of the normal symbol in the normal symbol display 10 is shortened. In the normal symbol short-time state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened, so that the frequency of starting the variation of the normal symbol increases, and as a result, the frequency of hitting the normal symbol increases. Therefore, when the frequency that the normal symbol is hit increases, the frequency that the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened is increased, and the start winning state is easily set (high base state).

  Moreover, you may transfer to a high base state by shifting to the special symbol time-short state where the variation time (variable display period) of the special symbol or decorative symbol is shortened. In the special symbol short-time state, the variation time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is shortened, so that the frequency of starting the variation of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is increased (in other words, the digestion of the reserved memory is accelerated). As a result, it becomes easier to win a start (transition to a high base state), and the possibility that a big hit game is performed increases.

  Furthermore, by making transitions to all the states shown above (open extended state, normal symbol probability change state, normal symbol short time state, and special symbol short time state), it will be easier to win a start (shift to a high base state). May be. In addition, it is easier to win a start (high base) by shifting to any one of the above states (open extended state, normal symbol probability changing state, normal symbol short time state, and special symbol short time state). Transition to a state).

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. In this embodiment, the reach display mode (reach) means that the decorative symbols that have not been stopped when the stopped decorative symbols constitute a part of the jackpot symbol are displayed in a variable manner (variable display). And all or part of the decorative symbols are in a state of being variably displayed synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, the decorative display (for example, “7”) that is a part of the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the left and right display areas of the left, middle, and right display areas in the variable display device 745. The display area of the display area is still in a variable display state, and all or a part of the display area is in a variable display while forming all or a part of the jackpot symbol (for example, a variable display) The variable display is performed on all of the left, middle, and right display areas in the device 745, and the variable display is always performed in a state where the same symbols are aligned.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance is performed with a lamp or sound. The effect and the reach display mode in the fluctuation display device 745 are called reach effects. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decoration design, etc.)) or a display mode (for example, color) of the background of the variable display device 745 is displayed. May be changed.
