In the operation classification as described above, the movable member 2 is operated through a series of variable displays (design variations).
There are cases where 1, 37 and 38 move (movement pattern) and cases where they do not move (non-operation pattern). Specifically, when the reach effect B is performed after the advance notice mode 2 is performed, when the reach effect C (with a stir operation) is performed after the advance notice mode 2 is performed,
When performing the reach effect B after performing the advance notice mode 1, when performing the reach effect C (with a tilt motion) after performing the advance notice mode 1, the reach effect C (without the lift motion) is performed after performing the advance notice mode 1. In this case, when the reach effect B is performed without notice, and when the reach effect C (with a tilting action) is performed without notice, the action patterns are respectively. On the other hand, when performing normal symbol change without notice, when performing normal reach without notice, when performing reach production A without notice, when performing reach production A (without fanning operation) without notice It becomes a pattern.

Next, the movable member 2 in the notice modes 1 and 2
Specific movements of 1, 37 and 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In advance notice mode 1, first, FIG.
8D to the solenoid 21a from the stopped state of the movable members 21, 37, 38 due to the drive stop of the respective solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a (the movable member 21 has the lower jaw portion 21b closed). The drive signal is transmitted and the drive signal of FIG. 8E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a is a signal in which a 300 ms ON signal is repeated twice after a predetermined interval, and then a 300 ms ON signal is repeated three times at a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each of the solenoids 37a and 38a is 3 after the ON signal of 50 ms is repeated 5 times.
Repeat the ON signal of 00ms twice and then 50
After repeating the ON signal of ms for 5 times, it is ON for 300 ms
It is a signal that repeats the signal twice, and the movable members 37, 38
Are supposed to work in sync. This allows
As shown in FIG. 8B, the movable member 2 imitating the face of a monster.
1 performs an operation of moving the lower jaw portion 21b in the vertical direction (an operation in which a monster roars as if the monster opens and closes its mouth), and the doll-shaped movable members 37 and 38 are swaying in lateral directions little by little. And the combination with the slow left and right shaking motion is continuously performed. More specifically, the movable members 37 and 38 on both sides perform small motions, and then the movable member 21 on the center and the movable members 37 and 38 on both sides alternately perform a loose motion to move. Member 21
And the movable members 37 and 38 perform the corresponding operation. Then, when the transmission of the drive signal to each of the solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a is stopped, the movable members 21, 37, 38 are again in the stopped state (the movable member 21 has a lower jaw portion 21b as shown in FIG. 8C). Closed).

In the advance notice mode 2, first, the movable members 21, 37, 38 are stopped by driving the respective solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a as shown in FIG. 9 (A) (the movable member 21 includes the lower jaw portion 21b). 9D is transmitted to the solenoid 21a from the closed state), and
The drive signal of FIG. 9E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a first has a predetermined interval similarly to the drive signal shown in FIG. 8D and then repeats an ON signal of 300 ms twice, and then a predetermined interval of 300 ms.
Is a signal that repeats the ON signal of 3 times, and is a signal that continues to be ON for a certain period of time after a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each solenoid 37a, 38a is the same signal as the drive signal of FIG. 8 (E). As a result, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), the movable member 21 simulating the face of a monster moves the lower jaw portion 21b in the vertical direction (the monster can open and close its mouth and bark). And the doll-shaped movable members 37, 38
Continuously performs a combination of a swaying motion in the left and right direction little by little and a swaying motion in the left and right direction slowly. And
After the movement of the movable members 21, 37, 38 is temporarily stopped, as shown in FIG. 9C, only the movable member 21 moves the lower jaw portion 21b downward for a certain period of time (the monster opens its mouth widely). ).

Note that the advance notice mode 2 is set to appear on the premise that it will always reach.
The ON signal for a certain time shown in (D) is designed to be output immediately after the reach symbol is derived to the special symbol display device 9. That is, in advance notice mode 2, each movable member 2 is in the same manner as in advance notice mode 1 until the reach symbol is derived.
1, 37, 38 are operated, and only the movable member 21 is operated immediately after the reach symbol is derived.
Further, at the time of outputting the ON signal for a certain period of time, in other words, immediately after the reach symbol is derived, as shown in FIG. 9C, the character 82 of “reach” is displayed in the display area 80 of the special symbol display device 9.
Is displayed instead of the design. As can be seen from the above, when the advance notice mode 1 is the basic motion, the advance notice mode 2 is an evolved action in which a further motion is attached after the basic action, whereas the advance notice mode 1 gives the reach advance notice. In advance notice mode 2, a big hit notice is given. Further, in the advance notice mode 2 which is the development operation, the number of moving movable members changes midway (three movable members 21, 37,
Since it is changed from 38 to one movable member 21, it is easy to understand the development. As a configuration that makes it easier to understand the development, the combination of movable members that operate may be changed in the middle. For example, at first, the advance notice operation may be performed by the combination of the movable members 21 and 37, and the combination may be switched to the combination of the movable members 21 and 38 to make it easier to understand the development. Further, in addition to the letters “reach” displayed immediately after the reach symbol is derived, a character may be displayed in accordance with this, or a lamp may be turned on or a voice effect may be performed. This makes it easier to understand the difference between the basic operation and the advanced operation.

Next, a concrete display mode of the special symbol display device 9 in the reach productions A to C and a concrete movement of the movable members 21, 37 and 38 accompanied therewith will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 14. To do. In the reach production A, FIG.
As shown in (A), when the left and right stop symbols are aligned in the same symbol and reach, the character image 81 of the egg is displayed in the central variable display area 80b instead of the middle symbol. Means that the character image 81 is overlapped with the middle pattern and only the character image 81 is visible from the player side). In addition, in FIG. 10 (A), the case where the symbol "7" is stopped and reached in the left and right variable display areas 80a and 80c is illustrated. In the embodiment, the character image 81 is stopped and displayed in the variable display area 80b when the reach is reached.
Not limited to this, a normal numeral pattern such as "6" may be stopped.

The character image 81 (image of egg) displayed in place of the middle pattern at the same time as the reach is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), by moving and displaying as reach variation upward, the moving member 21 gradually approaches the movable member 21 imitating a monster, and at the same time, the operation of the movable member 21 (up and down of the lower jaw portion 21a) is performed. Directional movement) is started. afterwards,
When the character image 81 moves upward to the upper end of the variable display area 80b, as shown in FIG. 10C, the movable member 21 imitating a monster gives an effect of biting the egg character image 81, and in accordance with this. The display in which the egg character image 81 is crushed (the display in which egg fragments are falling) is performed.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10 (D), at the same time as the operation of the movable member 21 is stopped, a middle symbol which is moved downward due to the falling pieces of eggs is displayed. In other words, the middle pattern appears from the chewed egg and is moved downward and displayed, so that the left, middle, and right variable display areas 80 are displayed.
The symbols are stopped at a to 80c and the display result is derived.
That is, in the reach effect A, the operation of the movable member 21 is always added. However, the movable members 37, 38
Does not operate during reach production A.
In addition, in FIG. 10 (D), an example is shown in which the middle pattern of "7" is derived from the chewed eggs, and the hit pattern of "7,7,7" is derived as the display result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a pattern different from the left and right patterns may appear in the egg and the lost pattern may be derived as the display result. In addition, after the lost design is derived in this way,
The middle symbol may be moved upward again to repeatedly perform the effect of crushing the movable member 21.

In the reach effect B, as shown in FIG. 11 (A), when the left and right stop symbols are aligned in the same symbol to reach the reach state, the central variable display area 80b replaces the middle symbol with the egg character. The image 81 is displayed (specifically,
Only the character image 81 is visible from the player side, with the character image 81 overlapping the middle pattern). In FIG. 11A, the left and right variable display areas 80a,
80c illustrates the case where the symbols "7" are stopped and the reach is reached. In the embodiment, the character image 81 is stopped and displayed in the variable display area 80b when the reach is reached, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Ordinary numeral designs such as "6" may be stopped.

The character image 81 (egg image) displayed in place of the middle pattern at the same time as the reach is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), it is displayed as a reach variation by vibrating to the left and right. After that, as shown in FIG.
The character image 81 that has been violently shake-displayed is cracked, and a middle symbol appears from the inside, and finally, as shown in FIG. 11D, the symbols are displayed in the left, middle, and right variable display areas 80a to 80c. Is stopped and the display result is derived. In addition, in the series of reach production B as described above, the movable members 21, 3
Nos. 7 and 38 do not operate. That is, in the reach effect B, the movements of the movable members 21, 37 and 38 are not attached at all. In addition, in FIG. 11 (D), the middle pattern of "7" appears from the broken egg,
It illustrates the case where the winning symbol of "7/7/7" is derived as the display result, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a pattern different from the left and right symbols appears from the egg and the lost symbol is the display result. May be derived as Also, the egg character image 8
1 may not be broken, and as a result, a lost design may be derived. Furthermore, after the loss design is derived in this way, the swinging effect of the character image 81 may be repeated.

In the reach effect C, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), when the left and right stop symbols are aligned in the same symbol to reach the reach state, the central variable display area 80b is replaced with the middle symbol, and the egg character is displayed. The image 81 is displayed (specifically,
Only the character image 81 is visible from the player side, with the character image 81 overlapping the middle pattern). In FIG. 12A, the left and right variable display areas 80a,
80c illustrates the case where the symbols "7" are stopped and the reach is reached. In the embodiment, the character image 81 is stopped and displayed in the variable display area 80b when the reach is reached, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Ordinary numeral designs such as "6" may be stopped.

The character image 81 (egg image) displayed in place of the middle pattern at the same time as the reach is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), the reach change is switched to the image placed on the volcano, and the eruption of the volcano causes the egg to move upward and be displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 12C, the display of the volcanic eruption ends, and the middle pattern appears with the ash image and is moved and displayed downward. Also, at this time,
The movable members 21, 37, 38 may or may not perform their respective operations. That is, when the reach effect C is agitated, each movable member 21, 37, 38 operates (inclination operation) in accordance with the downward movement of the middle symbol. On the other hand, in the case of the reach effect C with no sway, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 do not operate when the middle symbol moves downward. After that,
As shown in FIG. 12 (D), the symbols are stopped in the left / middle / right variable display areas 80a to 80c, and the display result is derived. That is, in the reach effect C, the movable members 21, 37, 3 are
There are cases where the action of 8 is incidental (when there is agitation) and where there is no action (when there is no agitation). Note that FIG.
In FIG. 2 (D), the middle symbol of “7” is moved downward, and the hit symbol of “7,7,7” is derived as the display result. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, a pattern different from the left and right symbols may appear in the egg, and the lost symbol may be derived as the display result. Further, the middle symbol that is moved downward may pass through the lower end of the variable display area 80b as it is, and as a result, the lost symbol may be derived. Furthermore, after that, the effect of the eruption may be performed again. Also, by causing the character to appear after deriving the lost symbol once, the hit symbol is always derived as the display result, the so-called "big hit confirmation operation".
May be performed. The player can be convinced of a big hit by such an effect, and the enjoyment of the game is improved. In addition, if the movable members are also operated during the "big hit fixing operation", it is possible to further appeal to the player that the "big hit fixing operation" is performed.

Next, the movable member 2 in the reach production C
A specific swirling operation of 1, 37, 38 will be described with reference to FIG. 13. During the swirling operation, the solenoid 21a
13D is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a, and the drive signal shown in FIG. 13E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a is a signal having a long ON time at first (hereinafter, this is referred to as a first signal).
Is repeated three times, then a signal whose ON time is shorter than that of the first signal (hereinafter referred to as the second signal) is repeated four times, and finally a signal whose ON time is shorter than that of the second signal (hereinafter , Which is called a third signal) is a signal that is repeated 6 times. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each of the solenoids 37a and 38a is a signal obtained by removing the first signal from the drive signal of FIG. 13D, and shows a second signal that repeats four times and a third signal that repeats six times. This signal is output in synchronization with the drive signal of 13 (D).

The output period of the first signal is shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), it is when the middle symbol starts moving downward on the special symbol display device 9, and the movable member 21 is moved during this period.
Repeats a slow motion (a monster slowly opens its mouth) three times. The output period of the second signal is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), when the middle symbol moves downward near the center on the special symbol display device 9, the movable member 21 moves a little faster during this period (the monster opens its mouth a little faster). Repeated four times, in synchronization with this, the movable member 37,
38 swings. The output period of the third signal is shown in FIG.
As shown in (C), when the middle symbol moves downward to the center position on the special symbol display device 9, the movable member 21 makes small fast movements (a monster opens its mouth fast little by little) during this period. Repeated six times, in synchronization with this, the movable member 37,
38 swings. In this way, during the stir operation of the reach effect C, the movable member 2 moves as the middle symbol approaches the center.
1, 37 and 38 increase the operation speed and increase the number of operations. In addition, the number of movable members that move as the middle symbol approaches the center is increased (at first, one movable member 21 has three movable members 21, 37,
38).

Next, the movable members 21, 37, and
The jackpot reliability according to the operation mode of 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. In the ball game machine 1 of the present embodiment, each of the left, middle, and right variable display areas 80a-8
An example is shown in which the number of symbols that fluctuates at 0c is individually set to 10 and the jackpot probability is set to 1/200. First, the appearance rate for each display mode (symbol variation pattern) of the special symbol display device 9 will be described with reference to the selection table in FIG. The variation patterns of the symbols are the variation patterns 1 to 15 in FIG. 14 when the display result is lost.
Normal fluctuation (missing without reach),
Normal reach and lose, reach effect A to short lose (± 1 other than pattern deviation), reach effect A to +1 (+1 pattern difference),
Perform reach production A-1 loss (-1 pattern shift), reach production B short loss, reach production B-1 loss, advance notice mode 1 and reach production B -1 lose, after performing advance notice mode 2, perform reach production B -1 lose, reach production C perform short loss, perform reach production C with sway motion -1 lose, reach production without sway motion Do C-
1 Loss and advance notice mode 1 is followed by reach effect C with no fanning action-1 loss, after performing advance notice mode 1 Reach effect C with fanning action is performed-1 loss, advance notice mode 2 is performed There are 15 types: -1 lose after performing reach production C with a tilting motion.

On the other hand, when the display result is a hit, as shown by fluctuation patterns 16 to 25 in FIG. 14, the normal reach is hit and the reach effect A is hit,
Reach production B hits, after performing notice mode 1 hits reach production B, hits after performing notice mode 2 hits reach production B, hits reach production C without a stir operation, hits, Reaching effect C with swirling action is performed, hitting is performed after advance notice mode 1 is performed, reach producing C without swirling action is performed, and reach effect C with swirling action is performed and then hitting. After performing the advance notice mode 2, there is a reach effect C with a stir operation, and there are 10 types. In addition, in FIG. 14, various variation patterns 1-2
In Fig. 5, "○" is marked in the "Preliminary action" column for those with the advance notice mode 1 by moving members, and "◎" in the "Preliminary action" column for those with the advance notice mode 2 by movable members. Is written. In addition, "○" is marked in the "Demonstration action" column for those that have reach production actions (excluding the agitation action) by the movable members, and "A tilt action" column for those that have the agitation action by movable members. Is marked with "○".

Then, the above-mentioned various fluctuation patterns 1-2
In 5, the random number extraction rate at the time of determining the big hit (probability that the variation pattern is selected at the time of determining the hit loss) is 1 /
From the big hit probability of 200, the variation patterns 1 to 15 in which the display result is lost are 199/200, and the variation patterns 16 to 25 in which the display result is a hit are 1/200, respectively. Further, the random number extraction rate at the time of determining the reach (probability that the variation pattern is selected at the time of determining the presence / absence of the reach) varies depending on the hit of the display result. That is, when the display result is lost, the left and right variable display areas 80 are displayed.
If the stop symbols displayed on a and 80c are the same symbols, the reach is reached. Therefore, the variable display areas 80a and 80c
From the number of symbols fluctuating in (10 symbols each), the variation pattern 1 without reach is 9/10, and the variation patterns 2-15 with reach are each 1/10. on the other hand,
When the display result is a hit, the reach is always reached when the hit is determined with a probability of 1/200, and therefore the fluctuation patterns 16 to 25 each have a value of 1.

In this embodiment, when there is no reach (in the case of variation pattern 1), there is a loss with reach (in the case of any of variation patterns 2 to 15), and there is a hit with reach ( The variation ratios of the various variation patterns are set according to the three types of variation patterns 16 to 25). Specifically, in the case of no reach, only the variation pattern 1 is present, and thus the selectivity of the variation pattern 1 is 1. When there is a loss with reach, normal reach is performed and the variation pattern 2 that causes a loss is set to 50/100. Below, variation patterns 3 to 15 are set to the values shown in the column of "selectivity" in FIG. ing. In the case of winning with reach, normal reach is performed and the variation pattern 16 with winning is 1/1
00, and the variation patterns 17 to 25 are shown in FIG.
It is set to the value shown in the "Pattern selection rate" column. Therefore, the random number extraction rate (A) at the time of determining the big hit described above,
From the random number extraction rate (B) and the selection rate (C) at the time of reach determination, the appearance rate (D) of the various fluctuation patterns 1 to 25 is calculated from the calculation formula of D (%) = A × B × C, The respective appearance rates are shown in the "appearance rate" column of FIG. The appearance rate shown in the figure is
The figure is rounded off to the second decimal place.

Next, the above-mentioned various fluctuation patterns 1 to 25
Based on the appearance rate of "reach effect (normal reach or reach effect A to C)""advance notice (advance mode 1 or advance mode 2) by accessory (movable member 21, 37, 38) appears""Preliminary mode 1 appears""Preliminary mode 2 appears""Reach A effect (reach effect A) appears""Reach B effect (reach effect B) appears""Reach C effect (reach effect C) appears""Reach C effect (reach effect C) and appearance (with tilting motion) appear""Reach C effect (reach effect C) advance notice with accessory (movable member 21, 37, 38) (advance mode 1 or advance mode) 2) For each of the nine appearance phenomena of "post-movement (with tilting motion)", the appearance rate and the overall appearance rate of the effects that result in a big hit are calculated. It becomes the value described in the column of "Rate". To be more specific, the appearance phenomenon of “reach effect appears” will be described as an example. The appearance rate of the effect that is a big hit is a variation pattern that becomes a hit after performing either normal reach or reach effects A to C. The total value of the appearance rates of 16 to 25 is 0.50% (≈0.01 + 0.20 + 0.03 + 0.0
3 + 0.05 + 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.03 + 0.0
5 + 0.10), and the overall appearance rate is 10.45, which is the sum of the appearance rates of the variation patterns 2 to 25 that perform either normal reach or reach productions A to C regardless of the hit loss.
% (≈4.98 + 0.40 + 0.30 + 0.30 + 1.
00 + 0.50 + 0.40 + 0.10 + 1.00 + 0.

01 + 0.20 + 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.05 + 0.
01 + 0.02 + 0.03 + 0.05 + 0.10).

Then, from the appearance rate (E) and the overall appearance rate (F) of the above-described big hit, the big hit reliability (G) for each appearance phenomenon is G (%) = (E / F) × Calculated from 100 formulas, the jackpot reliability of each is shown in Figure 1.
It is described in the column "5. Big hit reliability". The concrete jackpot reliability is 4.78% when "the reach effect has appeared" and 23.9% when "the notice by the character has appeared".
When it becomes 0% and "Preliminary mode 1 appears", 14.
35%, 4 if "preliminary notice mode 2 appears"

It will be 8%.

By the way, the selection table of FIG. 14 described above is movable according to the display mode of the special symbol display device 9.
1, 37, 38 is a low probability table for operating with a low probability setting, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied, the high probability table shown in FIG. 16 is used instead of the low probability table. It is designed to determine the fluctuation pattern of. In other words, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the special symbol display device is used by using the high-probability table for operating the movable members 21, 37, and 38 with the high-probability setting according to the display mode of the special symbol display device 9. The movable members 21, 37 and 38 are easily operated according to the display mode of 9. The main board 57 is used to select and determine the symbol variation pattern using such a low probability table and a high probability table.
It is performed as a control on the side.

In the high probability table of FIG. 16, the fluctuation patterns 1 to 25 are set to the values shown in the column of “Pattern selection rate” of FIG.
The appearance rate of 5 is set to the value shown in the column of "appearance rate" in FIG. Therefore, the operation rates of the movable members 21, 37 and 38 in the high probability table of FIG. 16 and the low probability table of FIG. 14 will be compared. The movable members 21, 37, 3
The operation rate of 8 is the sum of the appearance rates of the pattern variation patterns (variation patterns 3 to 5, 8 to 15, 17, 19 to 25) accompanied by the movements of the movable members 21, 37 and 38 (preliminary movements or reach production movements). Which is 3.9 in the low probability table of FIG.
While it is 9%, the high probability table of FIG.
%, The movable members 21, 37, compared to the low probability table.
The appearance rate of the pattern variation pattern (operation rate of the movable members 21, 37, 38) accompanying the operation of 38 is high.

Next, table selection control for switching the symbol variation selection table from the low probability table to the high probability table will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the present embodiment, while the selection flag of the high probability table is not set, the variation pattern of the symbol is determined using the low probability table, while the high probability table is set with the selection flag of the high probability table set. Is used to determine the pattern variation pattern. However, in the table selection control process, if apparently the same control process is performed, it is not always necessary to execute the processing procedure according to the flowchart described below.

In FIG. 17, first, it is judged whether or not the selection flag of the high probability table is set (S).
1). When the selection flag of the high probability table is not set in S1, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition for switching the selection table from the low probability table to the high probability table is satisfied (S2). When the predetermined condition is not satisfied in S2, the main flow is directly returned without setting the selection flag of the high probability table. On the other hand, when the predetermined condition is satisfied in S2, the selection flag of the high probability table is set (S3) and the process returns to the main flow. Further, if the selection flag of the high probability table is set in S1, it is determined whether or not the return condition for switching the selection table from the high probability table to the low probability table is satisfied (S4). If the return condition is not satisfied in S4, the process directly returns to the main flow without resetting the selection flag of the high probability table. On the other hand, when the return condition is satisfied in S4, the selection flag of the high probability table is reset (S5) and the process returns to the main flow.

The above-mentioned predetermined conditions are the following conditions (1) to (4). If any one of these conditions is satisfied, the selection table is switched from the low probability table to the high probability table (the selection flag of the high probability table is set). It is like this.

The variable display of symbols on the special symbol display device 9 is not performed for a predetermined period. As concrete control,
After the variable display based on the start prize is finished, when there is no next start prize and the variable display is not performed, a timer (not shown) for starting measurement from that point is provided, and the timer is used for a predetermined period (for example, (1 minute) is measured,
Set the selection flag in the high probability table. However, the measurement configuration of the timer may be one in which the timers are added and it is determined whether or not the added value becomes a predetermined value set in advance, or it is subtracted from the timer set to the predetermined value and finally determined. It may be possible to determine whether the value becomes “0”.
As a result of such condition setting, even with a base (ball game machine) in which starting winning is difficult due to nail adjustment or the like, a reach involving movement of the movable member, in other words, a reach that can be expected appropriately, is likely to appear. Therefore, it is possible to avoid as much as possible that the player gets tired of difficulty in winning the starting prize and stands up, and it is possible to increase the chances that the player stays on the table and continues to play the game.

When the power of the ball game machine 1 is turned on. As a specific control, the selection flag of the high probability table is set in the initial setting when the power is turned on. The effect of such condition setting is that a player often performs a trial game when selecting a table, but in such a case, a reach is reached when the game store is opened (when the power of the game machine is turned on). Since the probability is improved, it is possible to increase the chances that a reasonably expected reach (reach involving movement of the movable member) appears and the player stays on the table and continues to play the game.

At the end of the big hit (at the end of the specific game state). As a concrete control, the selection flag of the high probability table is set at the end of the big hit. The effect of such condition setting is that the player often ends the game when the big hit ends, but in such cases, the probability of reaching after the big hit is improved, so it is appropriate. It is possible to increase the chances that the reach (reach accompanied by the movement of the movable member) that can be expected appears and the player stays on the table and continues the game.

In addition to the above conditions (1) to (5), when a specific reach effect is executed, the number of changes in the past period is measured, and when the number of changes is less than a predetermined number, the reach effect is performed for a predetermined period. The predetermined condition may be set in the case where the player is not denied or when it is detected that the player is disadvantaged. That is, when a player is in a gaming state in which he / she is losing the expectation for a big hit, by setting this as a predetermined condition, the player has an opportunity to stay on the table and continue playing the game. Can be increased.

On the other hand, the return condition for switching the selection table from the high-probability table to the low-probability table (resetting the selection flag of the high-probability table) is any one of the following conditions.

A big hit has occurred.

A predetermined period of time has passed since switching to the high probability table.

The variable display was executed a predetermined number of times after switching to the high probability table.

That the pending storage of symbol fluctuations is full.

In addition to the above-mentioned return conditions (1) to (4), if the player is in a game state where the player can regain his / her expectation for the game, this may be used as the return condition. Under the return condition of, it is possible to give the player a sense of satisfaction and a sense of expectation for the game due to the big hit. Under the return condition of, the reach with a high probability and a high jackpot reliability is performed, so that the player can be satisfied and expectation for the game can be given. In the return condition of, the symbols are likely to fluctuate and the player can be satisfied, and the player can be expected to play the game.

As described above, according to the structure of the present embodiment, the movable member 21, which is provided at a position where the player can visually recognize the motion and is used as the movable effect means for effecting the game,
37, 38, the movable member 21, 37, 38 is capable of performing a variable display effect operation that operates in accordance with the variable display of the symbol, the ball game machine 1 is a variable display effect in the variable display of the symbol. The execution probability of whether or not to execute the operation is controlled to one of a plurality of control states that are each set, and the control state is compared with other control states when a predetermined change condition (predetermined condition) is satisfied. And a control state in which the execution probability is high. With such a configuration, it is possible to change the effect ratio of the movable member according to the game state, so that each game state can be sharpened, and eventually the player can continuously play the game. Can be done.

In the embodiment, the plurality of control states based on the execution probabilities are set as two types of control states (a control state using the low probability table of FIG. 14 and a control state using the high probability table of FIG. 16). However, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as it has at least two kinds of control states. Further, when the configuration has three or more types of control states, it is not necessary to set the control state with the highest execution probability when the change condition is satisfied, as long as the control state is higher than other control states. (For example, if there are three types of control states, the control state with the second highest execution probability may be used).

The variable display of the symbols is executed by a plurality of predetermined variable display patterns, and whether or not the variable display effect operation is executed corresponding to each of the plurality of kinds of variable display patterns. Is determined, and which variable display pattern of the plurality of types of variable display patterns is used to execute variable display of symbols, and the variable display pattern operation is performed so that the determination probabilities of the variable display patterns are different. The variable display pattern is determined by using a selection table (the low probability table of FIG. 14 and the high probability table of FIG. 16) as a plurality of variable display pattern tables which are predetermined in accordance with the change condition. The display pattern table has a higher determination probability than the other variable display pattern table (low probability table in FIG. 14). Variable display pattern table (Fig. 16
High probability table), the control state is set to a control state having a higher execution probability as compared with other control states. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the effect ratio of the movable member is changed according to the game state.

Further, when the power of the ball game machine 1 is turned on, the control state is controlled to be a control state having a high execution probability by comparing the control state with other control states. With such a configuration, the effect ratio of the movable member increases when the game store is opened (when the power of the game machine is turned on), so that the player performs a trial game when selecting a table (game machine) at the same time as the store opens. In such a case, it is possible to improve the expectation of the player by improving the visual interest, and eventually increase the chance that the player stays on the table and continues to play the game.

Further, the period from the end of the last variable display of the symbols is measured, and the establishment of the change condition includes that the predetermined period is measured without the next variable display of the symbols being performed. Is characterized by. With such a configuration, the effect ratio of the movable member is increased when the variation of the pattern is interrupted, so that the player's expectation can be improved by improving the visual interest, and eventually the player stays on the table to play the game. It is possible to increase the opportunity to continue. In addition, in the present embodiment, since the design variation is performed based on the starting winning, if the starting winning that allows the variation of the pattern is interrupted, the effect ratio of the movable member increases, so it is difficult to start the winning by adjusting the nails or the like. When the player feels that it is a table (ball game machine 1), it is possible to improve the player's expectation by improving the visual interest.
As a result, it is possible to increase the opportunities for the player to stay on the table and continue playing the game.

Further, the predetermined game value is a specific game state in which the player has an advantage, and the establishment of the change condition includes the end of the specific game state.
With such a configuration, the effect ratio of the movable member increases after the big hit (specific game state) ends, so when the player is about to finish the game due to the end of the big hit, the player is visually enhanced to enhance the interest. It is possible to improve the sense of expectation and eventually increase the chances that the player stays on the table and continues to play the game. In the embodiment, the change condition is satisfied at the end time of the specific game state, but the change condition may be satisfied at the time of derivation of the jackpot symbol or the occurrence time of the specific game state.

Further, after the change condition is satisfied, the control state is set to a control state in which the execution probability is high as compared with other control states until a predetermined return condition is satisfied. With this configuration, the effect ratio of the movable member can be returned to the original value when the return condition is satisfied.

Further, the establishment of the return condition is characterized in that the symbols are variably displayed a predetermined number of times. With this configuration, the effect ratio of the movable member can be returned to the original value when the number of starting prizes is a predetermined number of times.

Further, when the variable display effect operation is executed in the variable display of the symbols, compared to the case where the variable display effect operation is not executed in the variable display of the symbols,
It is characterized by high expectation (big hit reliability) from which big hit symbols are derived. With such a configuration, it is possible to give the player the impression that a big hit is likely to occur when the movable member moves, and to give the player an expectation for the movement of the movable member.

The above-described embodiment (first embodiment)
Then, the solenoids 21, 37a, 38a, which are the electric drive sources of the movable members 21, 37, 38, are configured to be drive-controlled by the main board 57 (specifically, the solenoid circuit 76 in the main board 57). However, the configuration is not limited to this. For example, as shown in the second embodiment of FIG. 18, a lamp control board 5 that controls the game effect LEDs 42 and the like.
The drive of each solenoid 21, 37a, 38a may be controlled by 9 '. By doing so, the operation control of each movable member 21, 37, 38 is controlled by various lamps / LEDs.
The lighting and blinking control of can be performed more closely (the deviation from the control of the lamp / LED can be minimized). Other solenoids 16, 26, 30
Is controlled by a solenoid circuit 76 '. Further, according to the configuration of the second embodiment, each movable member 2
The signal output means for testing the operation of 1, 37, 38 includes a test signal output portion 90 'in the lamp control board 59'.
Is provided as.

In the first embodiment, the operation mode (including the non-operation) of the movable members 21, 37, 38 is determined in advance for each pattern variation pattern, and such a pattern variation pattern is selected. Although the configuration is such that the determination is performed on the main substrate 57 side (selection table in FIGS. 14 and 16), the configuration is not limited to such a configuration. For example, when the operation of the movable members 21, 37, 38 is controlled by the lamp control board 59 ′ as in the second embodiment, the pattern variation pattern is selectively determined on the main board 57 side, and the movable member is accordingly accompanied. It is also possible to select and determine the operation mode (including the operation mode) of 21, 37, 38 on the lamp control board 59 ′ side. Hereinafter, such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 22.

First, FIG. 19 is a symbol variation pattern selection table used on the main board 57 side. In the case where the display result of the symbol variation pattern is lost, FIG.
As shown in the variation patterns 1 to 10, normal variation (loose without reach), normal reach loses, reach effect A performs short loss (± 1 pattern other than misalignment), reach effect with flapping motion Do A, -1 lose (-1 pattern misplace), reach production A
Go to -1 lose, reach production B to perform short loss, reach production B to perform -1 loss, reach production C
There are 15 types of short loss, +1 loss by performing reach effect C (+1 loss of pattern deviation), and -1 loss by performing reach effect C. On the other hand, in the case where the display result is a hit, as shown as variation patterns 11 to 15 in FIG. 14, the normal reach is performed, the reach effect A is performed, and the reach effect A with a flapping motion is performed. There are five types: reach production B and hit, reach production C and hit.

In the selection table of FIG. 19, the variation patterns 1 to 15 are set to the values shown in the column of “Pattern selection rate” of FIG. 19, whereby the appearance rates of the various variation patterns 1 to 15 are It is set to the value shown in the column of "appearance rate" in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 19, in each of the various fluctuation patterns 1 to 15, those having a reach effect operation (excluding a tilting operation) by the movable member are marked with “○” in the “effect operation” column, and the result is changed by the movable member. Those having an agitation motion are marked with "○" in the column of "agitating motion". That is,
In the reach effects A and B in the second embodiment, the reach effect operation by the movable member is not attached to any type, and in the reach effect C, the reach effect operation by the movable member is always attached in any type. Has become. Further, the tilting motion by the movable member may be attached only to the reach effect A or may not be attached.

Furthermore, for the reach effect A of the second embodiment, the advance notice mode (including the case where it is not attached) by the movable member is selectively determined on the lamp control board 59 'side. The selection table of the notice mode used on the side of the lamp control board 59 'is as shown in FIG. 20 (A), and for each reach effect A, that is, the reach effect A is performed and short reach, and reach effect with flapping motion are performed. Perform A, lose -1, reach production A, perform -1 loss, reach production A, hit reach production A with swaying movement, and hit "no notice""Announcement mode 1" Five items (preliminary notice mode 2), "preliminary notice mode 3", and "preliminary notice mode 4" (preliminary notice contents) are provided, and random numbers are assigned to the respective items.

The advance notice mode 1 in the second embodiment is as follows.
2 is the same mode as the notice modes 1 and 2 of the first embodiment, and the notice mode 4 is a mode in which the operation of the notice mode 1 is performed at the same time as the start of the symbol variation. Further, the advance notice mode 3 is a mode in which the advance notice mode 2 which is a development of the advance notice mode 1 fails (ends) in the middle. Specifically, in the advance notice mode 3, first, the movable member 2 by stopping driving of the solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a as shown in FIG.
From the stopped state of 1, 37, 38 (the movable member 21 closes the lower jaw portion 21b), the solenoid 21a is moved to the state shown in FIG.
The drive signal of (D) is transmitted and each solenoid 3
The drive signal of FIG. 22 (E) is transmitted to 7a and 38a.
The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a is initially set to 300 after a predetermined interval as in the advance notice mode 2.
This is a signal in which an ON signal of ms is repeated twice, and then an ON signal of 300 ms is repeated three times with a predetermined interval. It outputs an ON signal with a short ON time. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each of the solenoids 37a and 38a is the same signal as in the advance notice mode 2.

As a result, as shown in FIG.
The movable member 21 that imitates the face of a monster performs an operation of moving the lower jaw portion 21b in the up and down direction (an operation in which a monster opens and closes its mouth, as if to bark), and has a doll-shaped movable member 3
Nos. 7 and 38 continuously perform a combination of a swaying motion in the left and right direction little by little and a swaying motion in a slow left and right direction.
Then, after the movements of the movable members 21, 37, 38 are once stopped, as shown in FIG. 22 (C), only the movable member 21 moves downward on the lower jaw portion 21b for a predetermined time (a shorter time than the advance notice mode 2). To move (the monster opens its mouth wide and closes it).

In the selection table of FIG. 20 (A), the jackpot reliability for each notice content is, as described in the column of “reliability” of FIG. 20 (B), in the case of “no notice”. 6.6%, or 25.2% in the case of "preliminary notice mode 1"
In the case of "Announcement mode 2", it becomes 57.3%,
In the case of "preliminary notice mode 3", it is 5.0%, and in the case of "preliminary notice mode 4", it is 100%. Note that the jackpot reliability (H) for each notice content is the total appearance rate (I) of the reach effect A that is a big hit with the corresponding notice content and the overall appearance rate (J of the reach effect A with the corresponding notice content. ), H (%) = (I / J) × 100. Also, in the same way,
"Announcement mode 1 No sway (no fanning motion)""Announcement mode 1
With tilt (with tilting motion) "" Announcement mode 2 without tilt "
The jackpot reliability for each “preliminary mode 2 with tilt” is shown in FIG.
As described in the column of “Credibility” in (C), 2.8% is obtained in the case of “preliminary notice mode 1 without tilt”, and 82.3% in the case of “preliminary notice mode 1 with tilt”. The percentage is 21.1% in the case of "preliminary notice mode 2 without tilt", and 94.6% in the case of "preliminary notice mode 2 with tilt".

By the way, in the selection table of FIG. 20A, the movable members 21, 37 and 38 are operated with a low probability setting in accordance with the display mode (reach effect A) of the special symbol display device 9 (preliminary motion). 20 is a low-probability table, and when a predetermined condition is established, FIG.
The high probability table shown in FIG. 21 is used in place of the low probability table shown in FIG. In other words, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the special symbol display device is used by using the high-probability table for operating the movable members 21, 37, and 38 with the high-probability setting according to the display mode of the special symbol display device 9. The movable members 21, 37 and 38 are easily operated according to the display mode of 9.

In the high-probability table of FIG. 21, random numbers are distributed as shown in FIG. 21 with respect to each notice content of “no notice”, “preliminary manner 1”, “preliminary manner 2”, “preliminary manner 3”, and “preliminary manner 4”. It is carried out. Specifically, in the high-probability table, "reach A out-of-range short", "reach A out-of-range (1)" and "reach A out-of-range-1"
While the random number distribution for "no notice" is set smaller than that in the low probability table, the random number distribution for "notice mode 1" is set more than that in the low probability table. As a result, when the advance notice mode is selected and determined using the high probability table, the appearance rate of the advance notice mode 1 is improved as compared with the case where the low probability table is used.
The table selection control for switching the selection table of the advance notice mode from the low probability table to the high probability table is performed in the same manner as the table selection control shown in FIG. However, even in such a table selection control process, if apparently the same control process is performed, the processing procedure according to the flowchart of FIG. 17 does not necessarily have to be executed.

As described above, according to the configuration of the second embodiment, whether or not to execute the variable display effect operation is determined according to the variable display of the symbol, and the execution probability is predetermined so as to be different. Selection table as the plurality of motion determination tables (the low probability table of FIG. 20A and FIG.
High probability table), the variable display effect operation is determined, and when the change condition is satisfied, the operation determination table is changed to the operation determination table having another execution probability (FIG. 20).
By changing the operation determination table (high probability table of FIG. 21) higher than the low probability table of (A), the control state is changed to a control state having a higher execution probability than other control states. It is characterized by doing. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the effect ratio of the movable member is changed according to the game state. In the configuration of the second embodiment, as the apparently performed effect, any of the reach effects A to C is performed with the advance notice (either of the notice modes 1 and 2) shown in FIG. Also increases the appearance rate of motion patterns).

As shown in the third embodiment of FIG. 23, the lamp control board 5 for controlling the drive of the solenoids 21, 37a, 38a (the movable members 21, 37, 38).
9'and the sound control board 60 for controlling the sound generation from the speaker 41 may be connected to the basic circuit 74 on the main board 57 side via the display control board 56. In other words, the display control board 56 causes the movable members 21, 3 to move.
The operation control of 7, 38 and the lighting / blinking control of various lamps / LEDs may be performed. By doing so, similar to the configuration of the second embodiment, the movable members 21, 37, 38 are each.
The operation control of the various lamps / LEDs can be performed more closely with the lighting / blinking control of the various lamps / LEDs (the deviation with respect to the control of the lamps / LEDs can be reduced as much as possible). , 38 and control of various lamps / LEDs can be synchronized with the symbol variation control (display control of the special symbol display device 9). When the configuration of the third embodiment is adopted, the low probability table of FIG. 20 (A) and the high probability table of FIG. 21 shown in the second embodiment are the display control board 5.
6 is provided, and the display control board 56 selects and determines the advance notice mode of each movable member 21, 37, 38 at a low probability (when using the low probability table) and at a high probability (when using the high probability table). It will be done.

In the above embodiment, the advance notice is made only by the operation of the movable member, but the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, a notice may be provided in which only the characters are displayed on the display device. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player's expectation from being lost when the movable member does not operate. By appropriately displaying the notice given by the movable member and the notice given by the display device, the player can play the game clearly. Further, the movable member is shaped like a monster's face or shaped like a doll, but is not limited to this. Further, although the drive source of the movable member is a solenoid, the drive source is not limited to this, and a motor or the like may be used. Further, the operation of the movable member is not limited to the operation described in the embodiment, but may be rotation or vibration. However, the movable rendering device according to the present invention is a rendering device excluding the drum display and the variable winning ball device.

Further, the movable member may be operated as an effect during a big hit. For example, the movable member 21 may be moved in small steps during the opening of the special winning opening (during a round), and the movable member 21 may be operated during the interval so as to perform a barking operation. Further, the movable member may be operated even while the end of the big hit is being displayed (for example, while the character "Matane" is being displayed at the end of the big hit).

Further, the ball game machine 1 in the embodiment has a predetermined game value when the stop symbol of the special symbol variably displayed on the special symbol display device 9 is a combination of the predetermined symbols based on the start winning. Although it is a first-class ball game machine that can be given to a player, if a prize is given to a predetermined area of an electric auditor to be released based on a start prize, a predetermined game value can be given to the player. 2 types of ball game machine, or if the stop symbol of the symbol that is variably displayed based on the starting prize is a combination of the symbols, the predetermined right is generated or continues when the prize is given to the predetermined electric accessory. The present invention can be applied to a third-type ball game machine.

Further, in the embodiment, the special symbol display device 9 as an image display device is constituted by a liquid crystal (LCD) type display, but the invention is not particularly limited to this, and a CRT, an LED, a VFD. The image display device may be configured by a display device using EL, EL, or plasma.

Further, in the variable display device, the symbols other than the symbol which is the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol among the left, middle, and right symbols) are consistent with the specific display mode for a predetermined period of time. It is a big hit before the final result is displayed, because it is stopped, oscillating, enlarged or reduced or deformed, or multiple symbols fluctuate in sync with the same symbol, or the positions of the displayed symbols are swapped. The state in which the possibility of occurrence continues is called the reach state, and the effect performed in this reach state is called the reach effect.
