Description

  The present invention relates to a game information display device, and more particularly to a game information display device provided in a pachinko gaming machine.

  Conventionally, in order to enhance the interest of pachinko machines, various proposals have been made regarding the timing for notifying the probability variation state. For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, when a jackpot is generated, it is not notified whether the jackpot is a probable change jackpot or not, and whether or not the previous jackpot was a probable change jackpot after a predetermined number of symbol changes is notified. There is a game machine.

  In addition, there is a game machine that falls into a falling lottery (probable change lottery that decides whether to shift from a certain variation state to a normal state) during the certainty change according to the recent amendment of the gaming machine rules, and continues in a certain variation state until winning the falling lottery It is appearing. In such a gaming machine, in order to enhance the interest of the game, the gaming state is not notified and the player is made to guess the current gaming state.

JP 2004-329448 A

  However, if the current gaming state is not notified, the interest is enhanced, but at the time of ending the game, it remains in a promiscuous state (leaving a gaming state advantageous to the player) and leaves the stand There is a possibility of being attacked. Moreover, in the gaming machine that performs the falling lottery, since the probability change is not directly connected to the jackpot, the game machine is configured to shift to the probability change state with high probability or after all the jackpots are finished. In the case of such a pachinko gaming machine, it is more important to notify whether or not the current gaming state is a promising rather than a notification whether or not the previous jackpot is a promising big jackpot. This is not effective as a notification. However, if the current gaming state is notified, new gaming characteristics of recent gaming machines will be denied.

  The present invention has been made on the basis of the background described above, and provides a game information display device that can deal with the new gameability of recent gaming machines and can dispel the player's anxiety while maintaining expectation. The issue is to provide.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the game information display device of the present invention generates a big jackpot when a predetermined jackpot occurrence condition is established, and generates a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big jackpot ends, A game information display device for displaying game information of a pachinko gaming machine configured to end a special gaming state upon establishment of an end condition determined by:
Special game state end information storage means for storing game information relating to a period until the special game state is ended as special game state end information every time the special game state ends;
Informing means for informing the player of the tendency of the end of the special gaming state in the past based on the special gaming state end information;
It is characterized by providing.

  The gaming information display device of the present invention is configured such that a pachinko gaming machine including the gaming information display device is terminated by a termination condition (for example, winning a falling lottery) in which a special gaming state (for example, a probable variation state) is irregularly determined. . Each time the special game state ends, the game information related to the period until the special game state ends is stored as special game state end information, and based on the special game state end information, The player is informed of the tendency of the end of the gaming state, for example, the new gaming state of the pachinko machine that falls by lottery, for example, the end of the special gaming state when a predetermined period after the jackpot ends, for example Thus, the player can predict the current gaming state, and the player's anxiety can be dispelled to some extent.

  At that time, the notifying means displays the game state information indicating whether or not the gaming state at the time when the predetermined period has elapsed after the jackpot ends is a special gaming state in the past, when the jackpot ends and the predetermined period has elapsed. Can be informed. In this way, when the jackpot ends and a predetermined period of time elapses, it is indicated whether or not the gaming state at that time has been a special gaming state in the past, so it becomes information serving as a guide for the player and dispels the player's anxiety Is possible.

  Further, at that time, every time a jackpot is generated in the special gaming state, a jackpot occurrence information storage means for storing game information relating to a period until the jackpot is generated as jackpot occurrence information can be provided. Then, the notifying means notifies the jackpot occurrence information indicating the tendency of the jackpot that has occurred after the lapse of the predetermined period based on the jackpot occurrence information when the jackpot ends and the predetermined period has elapsed. it can. Thus, every time a jackpot occurs in the special gaming state, the game information related to the period until the jackpot is generated is stored as jackpot occurrence information, and based on the jackpot occurrence information, The tendency to generate jackpots after the elapse of a predetermined period is notified, and if the gaming state can be expected, the player can continue the game with a sense of expectation.

  Further, at that time, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the current gaming state can be notified. The predetermined condition is that the special gaming state probability indicating the ratio between the special gaming state and the normal gaming state included in the gaming information to be notified by the notification means is lower than a predetermined probability, and the current gaming state Can be established when is in a special gaming state. As a result, even if the special game state probability is low in the game information indicating the past tendency, the current game state may be notified, so that the player is informed in a reverse direction, and the gameability is further improved and the expectation is increased. It is possible to extend the game period with a sense, and the game shop has the effect of extending the operation.

Example 1
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to an example of a pachinko gaming machine provided with a game information display device. FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1. The pachinko gaming machine 1 (also referred to as a gaming machine 1) has a transparent glass door 2 attached to a frame and a game board 3 that is disposed inside the frame and covered by the glass door 2. The game board 3 forms a circular game area. Below the game board 3, a ball supply tray 4 is provided. The balls prepared in the ball supply tray 4 are launched toward the game board 3 by a ball launching mechanism including the handle 5. The ball that has reached the game board 3 falls on the surface of the game board 3.

  On the surface of the game board 3, a symbol display unit 6 is disposed near the center thereof. The symbol display unit 6 is configured by a display device using liquid crystal, a display device using a light emitting diode, or a reel type display device. A lamp-type holding ball display unit 7 is provided below the symbol display unit 6. The reserved ball display unit 7 has four segments, and displays the quantity of lottery information stored in the reserved ball storage area of the RAM 24 described later. In addition, each segment of the reserved ball display unit 7 is configured by a light emitting diode capable of emitting a plurality of colors, and colors according to the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and lottery information stored in the reserved ball storage area. Can be changed.

  A start winning opening 8 is arranged below the reserved ball display portion 7. Below the start winning opening 8, there are provided a large winning opening (attacker) 9 that is opened when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a big hit, and an out opening 10 for collecting balls.

  Next, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the game control device 20 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control device 20 includes a main board 21, a CPU 22 mounted on the main board 21, a ROM 23, a RAM 24, an input / output circuit (I / O) 25, a display control board 26 to which an output of a control signal from the CPU 22 is connected, The sound control board 27, the lamp control board 28, the payout control board 29, the launch control board 30, and a power supply circuit 31 that supplies power to the game control device 20 are configured. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is a basic processing program 51 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine 1 stored in the ROM 23, a start opening winning prize processing program 52, a symbol variation start processing program 53, a symbol variation stop processing program 54, and a jackpot processing program 55. Controlled by.

  As a detection switch that outputs a detection signal when the passage of a ball is detected, a start winning detector 32 and a special winning opening winning detector 33 are connected to the CPU 22 via the input / output circuit 25. A special prize opening opening solenoid 34 is connected to the CPU 22 via the input / output circuit 25 and is controlled when the special prize opening 9 is opened and closed. The display control board 26 receives a control signal from the CPU 22 and controls the display of the symbol display unit 6 and the reserved ball display unit 7 in accordance with the control signal. Also, the audio control board 27 creates an audio signal, the audio signal is amplified, and the audio is output from the speaker 41. The lamp control board 28 receives a control signal from the CPU 22 and controls the lamps 42 according to the control signal. In addition, the payout control board 29 controls the payout device 43 for paying out winning balls or rental balls according to the control signal. The launch control board 30 controls the ball launcher 44.

  The main board 21 is mounted with an EEPROM 38 (also referred to as a flash memory), which is a nonvolatile memory capable of rewriting stored contents, and is connected to the CPU 22. The EEPROM 38 stores probability change state end history data 39.

  FIG. 3 shows a display example of the symbol display unit 6. The symbol display unit 6 is provided with a special symbol display unit 11 for stopping and displaying a special symbol indicating a lottery result of the big hit lottery at the center, and a message display unit 12 below the special symbol display unit 11. The special symbol display unit 11 displays three characters (multiple digits) such as Arabic numerals. And, when the jackpot symbols are aligned as follows, for example, when the jackpot symbols are aligned with 000, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999, the jackpot is set.

  In the holding ball display unit 7, the result of the lottery performed at the time of winning the start winning opening 8 is held and displayed every time it is held in the holding ball storage area of the RAM 24. In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of holds is set to 4 pieces. In the holding ball display unit 7, every time the number of holdings increases, the circular display unit is reversed (for example, colorless to yellow) in order from left to right, and when it decreases, the reversed display is canceled in order from the right. The number of holds is displayed.

  Next, a specific control procedure will be described with reference to a flowchart. The basic processing program 51 stored in the ROM 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. After the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and after completion of initialization processing such as interrupt mode setting and RAM check, a start opening winning process (S1), a symbol variation start process (S2), a symbol variation stop process (S3), Probability change notification processing (S4) and jackpot processing (S5) are executed. Hereinafter, the starting opening prize process will be described in order.

  The start opening prize processing program 52 stored in the ROM 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the starting winning opening 8 (starting opening) (S11). If there is no winning, the process returns. On the other hand, if there is a winning, the holding number is “4” which is the upper limit of the holding balls. It is determined whether or not there is (S12). If the number of holds is “4”, the process returns. On the other hand, if the number of holds is not “4”, a jackpot determination random number is acquired (S13).

  The acquisition of random numbers for jackpot determination is performed as follows. When a winning of a ball is detected by the starting winning detector 32 attached to the starting winning opening 8, a winning detection signal is transmitted to the CPU 22. In accordance with the timing at which the winning detection signal is input to the CPU 22, the CPU 22 acquires a random number value (a jackpot determination random number) from the jackpot determination counter. A jackpot lottery is performed by determining whether or not the random number value matches the jackpot random number. The CPU 22 functions as a success / failure lottery means. The success / failure lottery means obtains a random number for jackpot determination at the time of starting winning, and the RAM 24 stores the hold information and performs the jackpot determination at the start of symbol variation.

  In this embodiment, the big hit random number update range is set to “0-299”, “7” is set as the big hit at normal time, and “0-9” is set as the big hit at the time of probability change. In the probability variation state, the jackpot probability is increased.

  Next, along with the acquisition of the big hit determination random number, the falling lottery random number (falling lottery determination random number) is acquired (S14). In this embodiment, the random number update range of the falling lottery random number is set to “0 to 99”, is valid only at the time of probability change, and “9” is set as a win. The end of the probability change state is randomly determined by lottery. When winning, the probability variation state ends and the normal state is entered. Thereafter, in S15, “1” is added to the number of holds.

  Next, the symbol variation start processing program 53 stored in the ROM 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “0” (S21). If it is not “0”, the process returns. If it is “0”, the special symbol display unit 11 (symbol variation display means) of the symbol display unit 6 is returned. ) Is determined whether or not the symbol variation is stopped (S22). If the symbol is changing, the process returns. On the other hand, if it is stopped, it is determined whether or not there is a holding ball (S23). If there is no holding ball, the process returns. 1 "is subtracted (S24).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the probability change flag is “1” (S25). If it is not “1” (not the probability change), the process proceeds to S29, and the jackpot determination random number is referenced with reference to the normal jackpot random number. It is determined whether or not matches the jackpot random number. Here, in the case of losing, the symbol variation that stops the symbol with the losing symbol is started (S30). On the other hand, in the case of big hit, the symbol variation that stops with the big winning symbol is started (S31). The CPU 22 receives the result of the jackpot determination and determines a symbol to be derived and displayed on the special symbol display unit 11. A display control signal based on the determination is output from the CPU 22 to the display control board 26, and the symbol variation is started in the special symbol display unit 11.

  When the probability changing flag is “1” in S25, the falling lottery random number corresponding to the probability changing is referred to determine whether or not the falling lottery determination random number matches the random number per falling lottery (S26). If the lottery is lost, the process proceeds to S29 to determine whether or not the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot random number with reference to the jackpot random number at the time of probability change. Thereafter, in the same way as described above, in the case of a loss, the symbol variation that stops the symbol at the loss symbol is started (S30), whereas in the case of a big hit, the symbol variation that stops at the big hit symbol is started (S31).

  If the winning lottery is a win in S26, the flag during probability change is set to “0” (S27), and the table update flag is set to “1”. The probability change state ends and the normal state is reached. In this embodiment, the probability variation end processing step and the CPU 22 executing the processing constitute a special gaming state end means.

  In this embodiment, after the symbol variation is displayed on the special symbol display unit 11 in accordance with the establishment of the starting condition by winning at the start winning opening 8, the symbol variation to be stopped is displayed once, and the number of symbol variation (number of symbol variations) is displayed. , Also called the start number). The CPU 22 functions as a symbol variation number counting means for counting the number of symbol variations performed after the big hit. When the probability variation state ends, the number of symbol fluctuations from the start to the end of the probability variation state is created as probability variation state end history data. The history data is stored in the probability change state end history data storage area 39 of the EEPROM 38 (special gaming state end information storage means). The CPU 22 functions as a special gaming state end history creating means.

  FIG. 6 shows a start number table (also referred to as a start table) at the time of past probability change. In the past (most recent past) five probability variation states, the number of symbol variations after the jackpot and whether or not the probability variation was occurring at the time of the symbol variation number are indicated. In FIG. 6, the ◯ mark indicates that the probability change was occurring at the symbol variation number. A blank indicates that the normal state was obtained when the number of symbol fluctuations. For example, in the case of probability variation 1 among the probability variation in the past, the number of symbol variations after the big hit is ended 26 times (winning the falling lottery is completed). Further, in the case of probability variation 2, for example, the number of symbol variations after the jackpot ends at 43 times.

  Then, a probability variation rate (special game state probability) indicating the proportion of the gaming state being the probability variation state is obtained corresponding to the number of symbol variations. The CPU 22 functions as a special gaming state probability calculation unit. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the number of symbol variations after jackpot is “20”, the probability variation rate is 100%, and when the symbol variation number is “25”, the probability variation rate is 80% (4 out of 5 times are probable). Similarly, the probability variation rate when the symbol variation number is “27” is 60%, the probability variation rate when the symbol variation number is “33” is 40%, and the probability variation rate when the symbol variation number is “38” is 20%. %. A history up to “50” of the number of symbol fluctuations is stored. It should be noted that if a big hit is made during the probability change, it is not included in this history data.

  Next, in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot random number with reference to the normal jackpot random number (S29). Subsequent S30 and S31 are the same as described above.

  Next, the symbol variation stop processing program 54 stored in the ROM 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the special symbol display unit 11 is changing the symbol (S41). If the symbol is not changing, the process returns. On the other hand, if the symbol is changing, measurement of the symbol variation time is started from the start of symbol variation. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed in the timer (S42). If the predetermined time has not been reached, the process returns. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has elapsed, the symbol variation is stopped (S43).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 11 is a jackpot symbol (S44). When the symbol is a jackpot symbol, the jackpot flag is set to “1”.

  FIG. 3 shows a display example of the jackpot symbol. “777” is displayed as a stop symbol on the special symbol display unit 11. At the same time, the message display unit 12 displays “Big hit!”.

  If the stop symbol is not a jackpot symbol in S44, “1” is added to the symbol variation number (S45). Every time symbol variation is stopped, the symbol variation number for notifying the probability variation state is counted, and the symbol variation number is stored in the symbol variation number storage area of the RAM 24. Next, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation number is less than “50” (S47). If the symbol variation number is “50” or more, the process returns, while the symbol variation number is less than “50”. The probability variation state is notified (S48).

  Next, the probability variation notification process will be described. In this embodiment, whether or not the game is in the probability change state is basically not notified, and the gaming state is in the probability change state with a predetermined number of symbol variations as an upper limit (for example, up to 49 times) for each symbol variation after the jackpot. The probability variation rate indicating the ratio is reported. And 50 times or more are not notified. As a notification timing, after the symbol variation (after the special symbol display unit 11 confirms that the symbol is stopped), the probability variation rate corresponding to the symbol variation number is notified according to the symbol variation number after the jackpot. The probability variation rate in the next symbol variation number of the current symbol variation number stored in the EEPROM 38 is read, and a control signal from the CPU 22 is output to the display control board 26 to notify the symbol display unit 6 of certain variation (probability variation notification example 1). Is displayed. In the present embodiment, the display control board 26 and the symbol display unit 6 constitute a game information display device that notifies the player of game information.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of probability change notification. FIG. 4A is a display example of probability variation notification example 1. FIG. After the symbol change is completed, a special symbol display unit 11 displays a stop symbol, and then a message appears on the message display unit 12 and "What is the past probability change rate?" Is displayed. Next, according to the gaming state, the probability variation notification (probability variation notification example 2 or 3) is displayed corresponding to the number of symbol variations.

  FIG. 4B shows a display example of the probability change notification example 2. The message display unit 12 displays “100%! It is better to strike continuously”. FIG. 4C shows a display example of the probability variation notification example 3. The message display unit 12 displays "20%! How about this time?" The symbol display unit 6 (specifically, the message display unit 12 of the symbol display unit 6) functions as a notification unit. FIG. 5 shows an example of the comment of the character corresponding to the probability variation rate. For example, when the probability variation rate is 79% to 60%, the message “It's all right” is displayed. Further, when the probability variation rate is 59% to 40%, “Surely it is still certain” is displayed. Thus, for each symbol variation, the probability variation rate or a message corresponding to the probability variation rate is displayed on the message display unit 12 and is notified to the player.

  Next, the jackpot processing program 55 stored in the ROM 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “1” (S51). If the jackpot flag is not “1”, the process returns, while if the jackpot flag is “1”, the jackpot processing is executed (S52).

  Next, the jackpot process will be described. As a jackpot game, one opening and closing of the big winning opening 9 is one round, and the opening operation of the big winning opening 9 is repeatedly executed until a predetermined round (for example, 15 rounds) is reached. While the jackpot game is being executed, the symbol variation display in the special symbol display unit 11 is not performed. The CPU 22 functions as a jackpot generating means.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the table update flag is “1” (S53). That is, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is not a probable big hit, and if the table update flag is “1” (not a promising big jackpot), the start table is updated (S54). The start table shown in FIG. 6 is created. Thereafter, the table update flag is set to “0” (S55), the jackpot flag is set to “0” (S56), and the probability changing flag is set to “1” (S57). Subsequently, the symbol variation number is initialized (S58).

  When the table update flag is not “1” in S53 (when it is a probable big hit), the process proceeds to S56 and the big hit flag is set to “0”. Thereafter, S57 and S58 are the same as described above.

  In this way, the probability variation state is irregularly determined by the falling lottery and is configured to end, and when the probability variation state ends, based on the probability variation state end history created including the number of symbol variations from the start to the end of the probability variation state. Thus, the probability variation rate indicating the proportion that the gaming state is the probability variation state is obtained corresponding to the number of symbol variations, and is displayed on the message display unit 12 of the symbol display unit 6 according to the number of symbol variations performed after the end of the jackpot. Thus, the probability variation rate corresponding to the number of symbol variations is notified, and the information becomes a guide for the player, and the player's anxiety can be dispelled.

  It should be noted that the number of symbol fluctuations (start number) when a big hit occurs at the time of probability change can be stored. In other words, when a jackpot occurs in the probability variation state, information related to the jackpot occurrence corresponding to the number of symbol variations is created by creating as the jackpot occurrence history data the number of symbol variations from the transition to the probability variation state until the jackpot occurrence. Is stored in the EEPROM 38 (big hit occurrence information storage means). The CPU 22 functions as a jackpot occurrence history creation means.

  FIG. 7 shows the ranking of the number of starts that reached a big hit in the past probability change. The start number ranking is stored in the EEPROM 38 up to a predetermined rank (for example, 20th place, 51 start number). In FIG. 7, for example, the number of symbol fluctuations at the 14th place is “69”. That is, 14 jackpots have occurred after the symbol variation number “69”. Information related to the occurrence of jackpot corresponding to the number of symbol variations can be notified by establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, for each symbol variation or display of a specific symbol in the special symbol display unit 11). Corresponding to the number of symbol fluctuations after the big hit, for example, when the number of symbol fluctuations is 68 times, the message display part 12 of the symbol display part 6 says, “There have been 14 games that have been played a little more.” Based on the jackpot occurrence history data, information such as the number of past jackpots at the time of certain change after the number of symbol fluctuations may be displayed. The probability variation rate described above and the number of jackpots at the time of probability variation may be alternately displayed. Alternatively, when the probability variation rate is 20% or more, the above-described embodiment is performed. When the probability variation rate is less than 20%, The number of jackpots at the time of probability change may be displayed.

  Note that, instead of the number of jackpots at the time of probability change, the jackpot expectation degree may be indicated by the ratio between the probability variable and the number of times that the jackpot has occurred, based on the jackpot occurrence history data in the probability variation state. In other words, in all probability variation states, the number of symbol fluctuations that became jackpots and the number of symbol variations for which the probability variation state ended without being a jackpot were created as a jackpot occurrence history. The jackpot expectation can be expressed by indicating the ratio of the number of times of the state (regardless of whether or not the jackpot is generated) and the number of jackpots at the time of probability change (the number of probability variation states that became a jackpot).

(Example 2)
FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the game information display device. In the first embodiment, the game information is displayed on the symbol display unit 6 provided directly on the pachinko gaming machine 1, but in the second embodiment, the game information display device is provided separately from the pachinko gaming machine 1. It has been.

  Fig.8 (a) is a front view which shows an example of the main-body part of a game information display apparatus. The game information display device 70 is provided on the upper part of the pachinko gaming machine 1 via another member corresponding to each gaming machine in the gaming store. The pachinko gaming machine 1 and the game information display device 70 are connected via a communication network. From the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, a probability variation signal, a start signal, a jackpot signal, a symbol signal, and the like are output toward the game information display device 70. The game information display device 70 can also be used as an in-store calling lamp (a lamp for calling a staff member when trouble occurs), and can be configured so that the lamp unit 71 and the display unit 72 such as a liquid crystal screen can be seen. it can. The game information display device 70 includes a control unit having a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM (not shown). A program for realizing the function as the game information display device 70 is stored in the ROM. The call switch 73 is operated in order to turn on the lamp and call an attendant. The display unit 72 displays information regarding the current gaming state and / or a gaming state that may occur in the future due to the current gaming state.

  Then, the probability variation rate can be notified for each symbol variation after jackpot corresponding to the number of symbol variations. FIG. 8B is an enlarged view showing a display example of the display unit 72. On the display unit 72, the current symbol variation number (start number) is displayed 35 times and the probability variation rate is 40%, which is notified to the player. Further, the number of jackpots at the time of probability change (expected number of jackpots) is displayed as 20 times or more. In this way, game information such as a probability change rate can be displayed on the game information display device 70 also used as a call lamp. In the display unit 72 of the game information display device 70, various game information related to the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is displayed, and a screen changeover switch for switching contents to be displayed on the screen is operated. Thus, the game information can be viewed by the player's operation.

In addition, you may add the following deformation | transformation to a present Example.
(1) Although the probability variation state is always set after the jackpot is ended, the probability variation state may be shifted to the probability variation state with a predetermined probability after the end of the jackpot. For example, it can be set to shift to the probability variation state in the case of a specific symbol depending on the jackpot symbol so that 80% of the jackpot shifts to the probability variation state. In that case, it may be notified only whether it changed to probability change, or it may not be.

(2) Depending on the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the display of a specific symbol on the special symbol display unit 11), according to the number of symbol fluctuations after the jackpot, the probability change rate corresponding to the number of symbol fluctuations and the current game You may make it selectively alert | report the alerting | reporting whether a state is a certain change state. For example, if you win with “7” (or if “777” is a jackpot symbol), you will be notified of the current gaming state (whether it is a probable change state), and if you win with other symbols The probability variation rate can be reported. Moreover, you may set the specific symbol which does not alert | report a game state at all including a probability change rate. For example, when the symbol is “9” (or “999” is a jackpot symbol), the notification may not be made at all. Further, the predetermined condition is that the probability variation rate corresponding to the symbol variation number is lower than a predetermined probability (for example, the probability variation rate 20%) according to the symbol variation number after the jackpot ends, and the current gaming state is It may be established when the probability is changed, or the current gaming state may be notified irregularly when established. As a result, even if the probability variation rate based on the past history is low, the current gaming state may be informed, so that it becomes a reversal notification to the player, further enhancing the gameability, and playing with a sense of expectation It is possible to extend the operation, which has the effect of extending the operation of the game shop. In that case, it is better not to make the notification irregularly because it makes no sense if it is all notified.

(3) In the embodiment, the notification is made for every symbol variation, but it is not necessary to notify every time. For example, notification lottery means for performing notification lottery may be provided every 5 times or every 10 times, and notification may be made only when the notification lottery is won.
(4) Although the number of symbol fluctuations is not notified more than 50 times, the upper limit may not be provided in this way, or the upper limit symbol fluctuation number may be determined by a jackpot symbol or the like. .
(5) Only the comment of the character may be displayed, or a lamp corresponding to each probability variation rate may be lit by providing a separate lamp.

(6) In the start table, the past probability variable is set to 5 times, but it may be any number. Further, even if the probability variation end condition is a big hit, it may be stored. In addition, a certain variable to be referred to may be changed according to a predetermined condition (such as a jackpot symbol or jackpot number). If there are many reliable variables to be referenced, the reliability of the data will increase, but it will be close to the specifications of the gaming machine, so that it will not be a biased number for each gaming machine. In addition, if the number is reduced, each gaming machine has characteristics, and the recent tendency can be understood. In some cases, it is better not to reference too many probability variables such as 5 times or 10 times. Furthermore, it is good also as a certain variable from the start of operation of a gaming machine on the morning of a business day. In the morning, when the power is turned on, the past certain variable may be reset, and the certain variable from the start of operation on that day may be used.

(7) Irregular probability changes are not limited to falling lotteries, but lottery of symbol variation numbers that will end the probability variation in advance when a big hit occurs, etc. Similarly, a gaming machine of a type in which the duration of the probability change state is determined in advance and the probability change is terminated when the duration has elapsed.
(8) In the special game state end history creation method, the average value of the number of symbol fluctuations at the time of probability change is obtained by dividing the total value of the number of symbol variations for each probability variation by the probability variable. If it is less than the value, “◯” may be notified, and if it is equal to or more than the average value, “×” may be notified.

(9) According to the number of symbol variations after the end of the jackpot, information including past trends as to whether or not the gaming state was a special gaming state is reported as gaming information. Information on whether or not the game state is in a special game state may be output on various scales (time, number of outs, etc.). It is also possible to apply to a gaming machine that does not fluctuate symbols. For example, it may be applied to a gaming machine or the like in which a so-called feather type wins a V prize and always wins, and when a special game state is a big hit, the number of rounds is more preferential than the normal state.
