Next, the configuration of the control system related to the drive control of the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, the control system related to the drive control of the pachinko machine 1 includes a main control board 290, a sub-integrated control board 280, an effect display board 260, and the like.
The main control board 290 includes a CPU 291, ROM 292, RAM 293, an input / output circuit (I / O) 294, etc., and the CPU 291, ROM 292, RAM 293, and input / output circuit 294 are connected to each other by a bus line. Yes. A clock circuit 295 is connected to the CPU 291 and a predetermined clock signal is input. The input / output circuit 294 is connected to a gate switch 54A, a start port switch 57A, and the like. The input / output circuit 294 is connected to an opening / closing solenoid 59A for opening / closing the opening / closing door 59 and a solenoid 57C for opening / closing the tulip-type accessory 57B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the RAM 293 of the main control board 290 has a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 359 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 295 (the minimum value is next to the maximum value 359). A big hit counter 293A for storing “Return to 0” is provided. The count value of the big hit counter 293A is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A, and it is determined whether or not the big hit counter is based on the read count value. Here, for example, the count value “7” corresponds to the big hit, and the other count values are lost. Here, for example, in normal times, the count value “7” corresponds to the big hit, and in the case of the so-called probability variation mode (when probability variation is acquired), the count value “1, 3, 5, 7” corresponds to the big hit. The other count values are off. Therefore, in the gaming state in the non-probability change mode, a jackpot occurs with a probability of 1/360, and in the gaming state with a probability change, a jackpot occurs with a probability of 4/360.
When the big win (per 15 rounds) is drawn, after the fluctuation patterns of the left, middle, and right columns change in the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52, each first fluctuation pattern, Any of “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” of the second variation symbol and the third variation symbol (see FIG. 15) is “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”. ”(Which will be a jackpot symbol to be described later) and displayed after being confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, as will be described later, the big prize opening 60 can be continuously opened 15 times (15 rounds) as described later, and 30 times each time. It is released until the total number of winning prizes in the big winning opening 60 reaches 10 within one second or 30 seconds, and a lot of prize balls are paid out to the player (in other words, it is a state advantageous to the player) A jackpot game can be played (see FIG. 16). In addition, when the big hit (per 2 rounds) is drawn, after the fluctuation symbols of the left, middle, and right columns in the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52 change, each first fluctuation symbol as described later, Any of “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” of the second variation symbol and the third variation symbol (see FIG. 15) is “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”. (It is a small winning symbol described later) and is displayed after being confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the large winning opening 60 can be continuously opened twice (two rounds) as will be described later, and each time. Within 30 seconds or 30 seconds, it is opened until the total number of winning prizes at the grand prize opening 60 reaches 10, and a lot of prize balls are paid out to the player (in other words, it is advantageous to the player). A so-called jackpot game can be played (see FIG. 16).

  Further, the RAM 293 stores a normal symbol counter 293B in which a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 9 (returning to the minimum value 0 next to the maximum value 9) based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 295 is stored. Is provided. The count value of the normal symbol counter 293B is read at a timing when a switch signal is input from each gate switch 54A, and it is determined whether or not it is a hit based on the read count value. Here, for example, the case where the count value is an even number corresponds to a win, and the case where the count value is an odd number corresponds to a loss.

  Here, when the pachinko ball passes through the gate 54 (see FIG. 3), the normal symbol counter 293B then stores the numerical value stored when the signal from the gate switch that detects the passage of the pachinko ball is input. Is stored in the parameter storage area 293K as “ordinary symbol count value”.

  In addition, a first holding counter 293C is provided that counts up to a maximum of four winnings in the starting port 57 while the design of the liquid crystal display 52 is changing. Further, a second holding counter 293D is provided that counts up to four passes through the gate 54 while the normal symbol of the normal symbol display unit 50 is changing.

Further, the RAM 293 has a reach counter 293E that stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 142 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 142 then returns to the minimum value 0). Is provided. The count value of the reach counter 293E is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A, and it is determined whether or not the reach is reached based on the read count value. Here, for example, it corresponds to the case of reach loss where the count value “0 to 27” is lost after reaching, and to the case of complete loss where the count value “28 to 142” immediately becomes lost without reaching reach. Yes.
Reach refers to the fluctuation pattern of the left, middle, and right columns, and the fluctuation pattern of the left column and the right column is the first variation symbol, the second variation symbol, and the third variation symbol (see FIG. 15). ) Of “1”, “2”, “3”,..., “8”, and stop at the same time, and the change pattern of the middle row changes (for example, “1 ↓ 1”). ”,“ 2 ↓ 2 ”,...,“ 7 ↓ 7 ”). A special symbol that stops in the left column and the right column among the three symbols of the left, middle, and right columns is called a reach symbol. Therefore, the reach loss means that after reaching the reach state, the middle row of the change symbol stops at a special symbol different from the reach symbol. In addition, complete loss means to end without reaching. Super reach means that a reach effect display is further performed in the reach state.

  In addition, the RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 7 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 7 is then returned to the minimum value 0). A counter 293F is provided. The count value of the jackpot special symbol selection counter 293F is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A, and the left, middle, and right three rows of fluctuation symbols fluctuate based on the read count value. Thereafter, a combination pattern of jackpot symbols of each of the first variation symbol, the second variation symbol, and the third variation symbol (see FIG. 15) to be stopped is specified. For example, the count value “0” is a jackpot symbol “111”, the count value “1” is a jackpot symbol “222”, the count value “2” is a jackpot symbol “333”, the count value “3” is a jackpot symbol “444”, The count value “4” corresponds to the jackpot symbol “555”, the count value “5” corresponds to the jackpot symbol “666”, the count value “6” corresponds to the jackpot symbol “777”, and the count value “7” corresponds to the jackpot symbol “888”. ing. Each jackpot symbol is a symbol that is stopped and displayed after a series of symbol variations, as is well known.

  The RAM 293 stores a normal symbol selection counter in which a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 3 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (returns to the minimum value 0 next to the maximum value 3) is stored. 293G is provided. Here, for example, the count value “0” is the normal symbol “11”, the count value “1” is the normal symbol “17”, the count value “2” is the normal symbol “71”, and the count value “3” is the normal symbol “17”. 77 ". Each ordinary symbol is a symbol that is stopped and displayed after a series of symbol fluctuations, as is well known.

  Here, when the pachinko ball passes through the gate 54 (see FIG. 3), the normal symbol selection counter 293G receives the numerical value stored when the signal from the gate switch that detects the passage of the pachinko ball is input. The “normal symbol selection count value” at that time is stored in a parameter storage area 293K described later.

  In addition, the RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 9 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 9 is then returned to the minimum value 0), and the variation pattern selection counter is stored. 293H is provided. The count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A.

This is an effect display pattern in which the first to third symbols are confirmed and stopped with a complete loss symbol such as “365” 10 seconds after the start of variation of the three rows of variation symbols.

Further, when the effect pattern command input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 is the effect pattern command 22A, the three rows of the changing symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 start to change, and then the first in the first row. The symbol stops at the first variation symbol. The second symbol in the third column stops at the same first variation symbol as the first column. The reach effect display. The first symbol in the second column differs from the first column. Stop at. This is an effect display pattern in which the first to third symbols are confirmed and stopped with a reach lose symbol such as “343” 20 seconds after the start of variation of the three rows of variation symbols.
In addition, when the effect pattern command input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 is the effect pattern command 22B, the first three columns of the change symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 start to change after the start of the change. The symbol stops at the first variation symbol → The second symbol in the third row stops at the same first variation symbol as the first column → Reach effect display → Each first variation symbol becomes a second variation symbol having a diamond notice character Change-> Stop at the second variation symbol having the notice character of the diamond in which the third symbol in the second column is different from the first column. Then, this is an effect display pattern in which the first to third symbols are confirmed and stopped with a reach loss symbol such as “686” 20 seconds after the start of variation of the three rows of variation symbols.
Further, when the effect pattern command input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 is the effect pattern command 22C, the first three columns of the change symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 start to change after the start of the change. The symbol stops at the first variation symbol → The second symbol in the third row stops at the same first variation symbol as the first column → Reach effect display → Each first variation symbol becomes a second variation symbol having a diamond notice character Change → Change to third variation symbol with diamond notice character shining in each second variation symbol → Stop at third variation symbol having diamond notice character with shining diamond in second row different from first row. This is an effect display pattern in which the first to third symbols are confirmed and stopped with a reach lose symbol such as “575” 20 seconds after the start of variation of the three rows of variation symbols.

Further, when the effect pattern command input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 is the effect pattern command 23A, the three rows of the changing symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 start to change, and the first in the first row.

Further, when the effect pattern command input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 is the effect pattern command 23B, the first three columns of the change symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 start to change after the start of the change. The symbol stops at the first variation symbol → The second symbol in the third row stops at the first variation symbol same as the first column → Reach effect display → Super reach effect display → Each first variation symbol has a diamond notice character Change to second variation symbol-> Stop at the second variation symbol having the notice character of the diamond in which the third symbol in the second column is different from the first column. This is an effect display pattern in which the first to third symbols are confirmed and stopped with a reach lose symbol such as “565” 30 seconds after the start of variation of the three rows of variation symbols.

Next, there is a possibility that each first variation symbol stored in the notice variation symbol storage area 262B of the ROM 262 of the effect display board 260, each second variation symbol having a diamond notice character, and a diamond notice character may be a big hit. Each image data of each third variation symbol having a notice character of a shining diamond for notifying high will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15 (A), the first variation symbols 91A to 91H representing “1”, “2”, “3”,... “7”, “8” are the first variation symbols. No notice character is provided around 91A to 91H.

  Next, a control process of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, “start opening winning process” executed by the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. Here, the control process of FIG. 16 operates at regular time intervals (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on. 16 and 17 are stored in the ROM 292 and RAM 293 provided in the main control board 290, and are executed by the CPU 291.

As shown in FIG. 16, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 1, the CPU 291 receives a pachinko ball winning signal from the starting port 57, that is, a pachinko ball detection signal from the starting port switch 57A. A determination process for determining whether or not an input has been made via the circuit (I / O) 294 is executed.
If the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is not input via the input / output circuit 294 (S1: NO), the process ends.

On the other hand, if the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is input via the input / output circuit 294 (S1: YES), the CPU 291 indicates that the pachinko ball has won the start port 57 in S2. Based on the above, the “count value acquisition process” of acquiring each count value of the big hit counter 293A, the reach counter 293E, etc. and storing it in the parameter storage area 293L is executed.
The above-mentioned count values at the time of winning each pachinko ball won at the start opening 57 during the fluctuation of the fluctuation symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 are stored in the parameter storage area 293L, and the processing after S3 described later is sequentially performed. Is executed.

  In S <b> 3, the CPU 291 reads the time-short / probable variable algebra L stored in the RAM 293 (“0” is substituted for the time-short / probable variable algebra L when the power is turned on). When the time / accuracy variable algebra L is “0”, it is determined that the mode is not the “time / accuracy variation mode”, and the “normal jackpot value” stored in the ROM 292 in advance (in the case of the first embodiment, “ 7 ”) and this“ ordinary jackpot value ”is stored in the RAM 293 as a“ jackpot value ”. Further, when the time-short / accurate variable algebra L read from the RAM 293 is “1”, it is determined that the time-short / accurate variable algebra L is “time-short / accurate change mode”, and the “probability large hit value” stored in the ROM 462 in advance (in the first embodiment). In this case, “1, 3, 5, 7”) is read out, and this “probability big hit value” is stored in the RAM 293 as “big hit value”.

Subsequently, in S <b> 4, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “big hit”.
In the determination process for determining whether or not it is a “big hit”, first, the algebra V stored by substituting the “count value” of the big hit counter 293A at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57 is read. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V matches the “big hit value” stored in the RAM 293. If they match, “1” is assigned to the jackpot algebra Q (“0” is assigned to the jackpot algebra Q when the power is turned on) and stored in the RAM 293. “0” is substituted into Q and stored in the RAM 293.
Therefore, in the case of a normal gaming state that is not in the “time reduction / probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “big hit” is 1/360. Further, in the case of the gaming state of “time reduction / probability change mode”, the occurrence probability of “big hit” is 4/360. As a result, in the “short time / probability mode”, the probability of “big hit” is about four times that in the normal gaming state.
In the case of a normal game state that is not in the “short time / probability change mode”, the change time of the change symbol is about 10 seconds to 32 seconds. The change time of the symbol is about 5 to 7 seconds, and it stops earlier than the normal gaming state.

If it is determined that the game is a big hit (S4: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S5. In S5, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “per 15 rounds”, that is, whether or not it is a big win game in which the big winning opening 60 can be continuously opened 15 times.
In the determination process of whether or not “per 15 rounds”, first, the stored algebra Y is read by substituting the “count value” of the mode selection counter 293K at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57. . When the algebra Y is any one of “0, 2, 4, 6, 8”, it is determined that “per 15 rounds”. On the other hand, when the algebra Y is any one of “1, 3, 5, 7, 9”, it is determined that it is not “per 15 rounds”.

If it is determined that “per 15 rounds” (S5: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S6. In S <b> 6, the CPU 291 selects a symbol per 15 rounds to notify that it is a big hit “per 15 rounds”, and stores it in the RAM 293.
For selection of symbols per 15 rounds, first, the stored algebra X is read by substituting the “count value” of the special bonus selection counter 293F at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57. When the algebra X is “0” or “1”, a jackpot symbol “111” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”. When the algebra X is “2” or “3”, a jackpot symbol “333” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”. When the algebra X is “4” or “5”, a jackpot symbol of “555” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data of “final stop symbol”. When the algebra X is “6” or “7”, the jackpot symbol “777” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”.
Subsequently, in S7, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern 1 as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, and stores the variation pattern command 1 in the RAM 293 as instruction information instructing the variation pattern 1. The process proceeds to S12.

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not “per 15 rounds” (S5: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S8. In S <b> 8, the CPU 291 selects a symbol per two rounds that informs the RAM 293 that it is a big hit of “per two rounds”, that is, a big hit game that allows the big winning opening 60 to be opened twice in succession. Remember.
In selecting symbols per two rounds, first, the algebra X stored by substituting the “count value” of the special bonus selection counter 293F at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57 is read out. When the algebra X is “0” or “1”, a jackpot symbol “222” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”. When the algebra X is “2” or “3”, a jackpot symbol “444” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”. When the algebra X is “4” or “5”, a jackpot symbol “666” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”. When the algebra X is “6” or “7”, a jackpot symbol “888” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”.
Subsequently, in S9, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern 2 as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, and stores the variation pattern command 2 in the RAM 293 as instruction information for instructing the variation pattern 2. The process proceeds to S12.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S4 that it is not a big hit, that is, it is a loss (S4: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S10. In S10, the CPU 291 selects a lost symbol.
The selection of the lost symbol is a reach state in which two symbols of the three symbols of the variable symbols are aligned (for example, “5, −5”, “7, −, 7”, etc., where “−” It is determined whether or not to display a loss after displaying (indicating that it is rotating). For this determination, the reach count value stored in the parameter storage area 293L is read, and any of the reach occurrence numerical values stored in advance in the ROM 292 (in the case of the first embodiment, “0” to “27”). If they match, it is determined that a loss is displayed after the reach state, and a loss reach symbol is selected. For the selection of the lost reach symbol, the reach symbol selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 293L, the reach lose symbol corresponding to this count value is read from the ROM 292, and stored in the RAM 293 as the symbol data of "final stop symbol". In addition, the reach count value stored in the parameter storage area 293L is read, and if it is determined that none of the reach occurrence numerical values match, the lost symbol selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 293L and corresponds to the count value. The symbol data of the symbol to be lost is read from the ROM 292 and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data of “final stop symbol”.

  Subsequently, in S11, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern 3 as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, stores the variation pattern command 3 in the RAM 293 as instruction information instructing the variation pattern 3, The process proceeds to S12.

In S12, the CPU 291 again reads out the “variation pattern command” and the symbol data of “final stop symbol” instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280 from the RAM 293, and instructs the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280. .
Subsequently, in S13, the CPU 461 waits for each processing time stored in advance in the ROM 292 corresponding to the “variation pattern command” and “final stop symbol” symbol data output to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S13). : NO).

When the processing time of the variation display process such as “variation pattern 1” or the variation display process of “losing symbol” has elapsed (S13: YES), in S14, the CPU 291 causes the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. Is output to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 so as to stop the fluctuation, that is, to stop the change.
Thereafter, in S15, the CPU 291 executes a sub-process (see FIG. 17) of “big hit game process” described later, and then ends the process.

Next, the sub-process (S15) of the “big hit game process” will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 17, first, in S21, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a “big hit” of “per 15 rounds” executed in S5 has occurred.
If it is determined that a “big hit” of “15 rounds” has occurred (S21: YES), in S22, the CPU 291 reads the algebra N from the RAM 293, and substitutes “15” for this algebra N. After storing again in the RAM 293, the process proceeds to S25.
When the pachinko machine 1 is started or reset, “0” is substituted for the algebra N and stored in the RAM 293.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the “big hit” of “per 15 rounds” has not occurred (S21: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S23. In S <b> 23, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether “small hit” of “per two rounds” has occurred.
If it is determined that “small hit” of “per two rounds” has occurred (S23: YES), in S24, the CPU 291 reads the algebra N from the RAM 293, and substitutes “2” for this algebra N. Then, after storing again in the RAM 293, the process proceeds to S25.
On the other hand, if it is determined that “small hit” of “per two rounds” has not occurred (S23: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.

In S <b> 25, the CPU 291 opens the open / close door 59 that closes the special winning opening 60.
Subsequently, in S26, whether or not 10 winning balls have been won in the grand prize opening 60, that is, whether or not the number of prizes detected by a large winning hole count switch (not shown) has reached ten. Determine.
If the number of winning balls that have won the big winning opening 60 has not reached ten (S26: NO), in S27, after the big winning opening 60 is opened, a predetermined time (in the case of the first embodiment, about It is 30 seconds.) It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. And when predetermined time has not passed since the special winning opening 60 was opened (S27: NO), the process after S26 is performed again.

On the other hand, when the number of winning balls won in the big winning opening 60 has reached 10 (S26: YES), or when a predetermined time has passed since the opening of the big winning opening 60 (S27: YES), in S28, The CPU 291 closes the open / close door 59 and closes the special winning opening 60.
In S 29, the CPU 291 reads the algebra N from the RAM 293, subtracts “1” from the algebra N, and stores it again in the RAM 293.
Subsequently, in S30, the CPU 291 determines whether or not the V zone provided in the big prize opening 60 is won while the big prize opening 60 is opened, that is, from the V switch (not shown) while the big prize opening 60 is opened. A determination process for determining whether or not a winning ball detection signal is input is executed.

If a winning detection signal is input from the V switch while the special winning opening 60 is opened (S30: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the processing of S31. In S <b> 31, the CPU 291 reads the algebra N from the RAM 293 and executes a determination process for determining whether the algebra N is “0”. When it is determined that the algebra N is not “0” (S31: NO), the CPU 291 passes the predetermined time (about 2 seconds in the first embodiment) after the special winning opening 60 is closed. The processing after S25 is executed again.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the algebra N is “0” (S31: YES), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when no winning detection signal is input from the V switch while the special winning opening 60 is opened (S30: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.

  Next, FIG. 18 shows a control process executed when the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 receives each command such as a “fluctuation pattern command” representing a fluctuation pattern as instruction information from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. This will be explained based on. Each program shown in the flowchart in FIG. 18 is stored in the ROM 282 or RAM 283 provided in the sub integrated control board 280 and is executed by the CPU 281.

  As shown in FIG. 18, first, in step S <b> 101, the sub-integration control CPU 281 stores the “variation pattern command” and “final stop symbol instruction” input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 in the RAM 283.

  Subsequently, in S102, the count value of the effect pattern selection counter 283A when the variation pattern command is input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 is substituted into the effect pattern algebra E and stored in the parameter storage area 283B of the RAM 283.

Further, in S103, the CPU 281 reads the “variation pattern command” and the “final stop symbol instruction” from the RAM 283, and reads the effect pattern algebra E from the parameter storage area 283B. When the “variation pattern command” is “variation pattern command 1”, the “effect pattern command” of the relevant effect pattern is sent to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 from the first effect pattern selection table 75 (see FIG. 9). The display instruction information to be output (instructed) is stored in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command.
Further, when the “variation pattern command” is “variation pattern command 2”, the “effect pattern command” of the corresponding effect pattern from the second effect pattern selection table 76 (see FIG. 10) is sent to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. The display instruction information to be output (instructed) is stored in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command.
When the “variation pattern command” is “variation pattern command 3”, the “effect pattern command” of the corresponding effect pattern from the third effect pattern selection table 77 (see FIG. 11) is sent to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. The display instruction information to be output (instructed) is stored in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command.

For example, the “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “variation pattern command 1”, the “final stop symbol information” is “777” for notifying the big hit, and the effect pattern algebra E read from the parameter storage area 283B is “ In the case of “2”, the CPU 281 stores the jackpot effect pattern command “1B” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 (see FIG. 9).
Further, the “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “variation pattern command 2”, the “final stop symbol information” is “222” for notifying the small hit, and the effect pattern algebra E read from the parameter storage area 283B is In the case of “2”, the CPU 281 stores the small hit effect pattern command “11A” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 (see FIG. 10).
The “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “variation pattern command 3”, the “final stop symbol information” is “235” for notifying complete loss, and the effect pattern algebra E read from the parameter storage area 283B is In the case of “12”, the CPU 281 stores the complete loss effect pattern command “21A” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 (see FIG. 11).

Thereafter, in S104, the CPU 281 reads out the “effect pattern command” and “final stop symbol information” that are output (instructed) from the RAM 283 to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, and outputs (instructs) the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. And the process is terminated.
For example, when the CPU 281 reads out the complete loss effect pattern command “21A” as the “effect pattern command” from the RAM 283, the display instruction information displays the complete loss effect pattern command “21A” and “final stop symbol information”. To the CPU 261. In addition, when the reach losing effect pattern command “22B” is read from the RAM 283 as the “effect pattern command”, the reach losing effect pattern command “22B” and “final stop symbol information” are output to the CPU 261 as display instruction information. . When the super reach loss effect pattern command “23A” is read out from the RAM 283 as the “effect pattern command”, the super reach loss effect pattern command “23A” and “final stop symbol information” are displayed to the CPU 261 as display instruction information. Output. When the jackpot effect pattern command “1B” is read out from the RAM 283 as the “effect pattern command”, the jackpot effect pattern command “1B” and “final stop symbol information” are output to the CPU 261 as display instruction information. . Further, when the small hit effect pattern command “11B” is read out from the RAM 283 as the “effect pattern command”, the small hit effect pattern command “11B” and “final stop symbol information” are displayed to the CPU 261 as display instruction information. Output.

  Next, control processing executed when the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 configured as described above receives display instruction information from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 will be described with reference to FIGS. . Each program shown in the flowchart in FIG. 19 is stored in a ROM 262 or a RAM 263 provided in the effect display board 260 and is executed by the CPU 261.

As shown in FIG. 19, first, in S <b> 201, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not effect display instruction information is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. Then, when the effect display instruction information is not input from the CPU 281 (S201: NO), the CPU 261 ends the process.
On the other hand, when the effect display instruction information is input from the CPU 281 (S201: YES), in S202, the CPU 261 changes the “effect pattern command” that constitutes the display instruction information that constitutes the effect display instruction information. In addition, the RAM 263 stores data related to the “final stop symbol” to be stopped.
In S202, the CPU 261 reads out the effect pattern command from the RAM 263, and stores the effect pattern command in the effect display pattern table storage area 262A of the ROM 262, the first effect display pattern table 81, the second effect display pattern table 82, As an “effect pattern command” in the third effect display pattern table 83, an “effect” command corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the first effect display pattern table 81, the second effect display pattern table 82, and the third effect display pattern table 83. The “display pattern” is read out and stored in the RAM 263.

This is an effect display pattern in which the first to third symbols are confirmed and stopped with a reach lose symbol such as “565” 30 seconds after the start of variation of the three rows of variation symbols.

Next, each first variation symbol having a level 0 display notice character stored in the notice variation symbol storage area 262B of the ROM 262 of the effect display board 260 is more likely to be a big hit than the level 0 display notice character. Each of the second variation symbols having a level 50 display notification character and a level 50 display of the third variation symbol having a level 100 display notification character that predicts that there is a higher probability of being a big hit than the level 50 display notification character. Each image data is demonstrated based on FIG.44 and FIG.45.
As shown in FIG. 44 (A), each of the first variation symbols 131A to 131H having a warning character of level 0 display representing “1”, “2”, “3”,... “7”, “8”. Has a notice character of level 0 display around each of the first variation symbols 131A to 131H.
Further, as shown in FIG. 44B, each second variation symbol 132A having a warning character of level 50 display representing “1”, “2”, “3”,... “7”, “8”. -132H has a notice character of level 50 display around each of the second variation symbols 132A-132H. In addition, it is indicated that the warning character displayed at level 50 is more likely to develop a big hit than the warning character displayed at level 0.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 44 (C), each of the third variation symbols 133A having the warning character of level 100 display representing “1”, “2”, “3”,... “7”, “8”. ~ 133H has a notice character of level 100 display around each of the third variation symbols 133A to 133H. In addition, the notice character with the level 100 display is more likely to develop a jackpot than the notice character with the level 50 display.

  Here, the notice character of level 100 display provided around each of the third variation symbols 133A to 133H will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 45 is an enlarged view showing a third variation symbol 133E having a warning character of level 100 display representing “5”. Note that the level 100 display warning character provided around each of the third variation symbols 133A to 133D, 133F to 133H has the same configuration as the level 100 display notification character provided around the third variation symbol 133E.

  As shown in FIG. 45, in the third variation symbol 133E representing “5”, a variation symbol representing “5” is arranged at the center. In addition, a notice character 136 representing a state where an animal (for example, a cat or a dog) is standing is provided so as to hold the variation pattern “5”. And the level display part 135 showing the possibility of developing a jackpot is provided in the part corresponding to the head of the notice character 136 arranged on the left and right of the variation pattern “5”. Further, when “100” is displayed on the level display unit 135, that is, “level 100 display”, the third variation symbol 133E is displayed as “level” in which “50” is displayed on the level display unit 135. This indicates that there is a higher possibility of developing a jackpot than each of the second variation symbols 132A to 132H having the “50 display” notice character.

Similarly, each of the second variation symbols 132A to 132H has a “level 50 display” warning character in which “50” is displayed on the level display part 135 provided in a portion corresponding to the head of the warning character 136. is doing. As a result, each of the second variation symbols 132A to 132H can develop a bigger hit than each of the first variation symbols 131A to 131H having the “level 0 display” notice character whose “0” is displayed on the level display unit 135. This indicates that the property is high (see FIG. 44B).
Each of the first variation symbols 131 </ b> A to 131 </ b> H has a “level 0 display” notice character in which “0” is displayed on the level display unit 135 provided in a portion corresponding to the head of the notice character 136. Yes. As a result, “0” is displayed on the level display unit 135, which indicates that the possibility of developing the jackpot of each of the first variation symbols 131A to 131H is a normal state (see FIG. 44A). ).

  Next, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 according to the fourth embodiment displays “777” display instruction information as symbol data of the jackpot effect pattern command “72C” and “final stop symbol” from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. Is input from the first effect display pattern table 125, the big win effect display pattern “change start → first symbol stop → second symbol stop → reach display → level 50 display effect display → level 100 display effect display → third symbol An example of effect display on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52 when “Stop → Confirm” is selected (S201 to S203) will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 46 (A), first, the CPU 261 performs the fluctuation of the first, second, and third symbols composed of the first variation symbols 131A to 131H corresponding to the effect display pattern “variation start”. Start (S204).
Then, as shown in FIG. 46 (B), the CPU 261 starts the first, second, and third symbol variation display, and then stores the first predetermined time in the ROM 262 in advance (for example, about 1.5 seconds). In the left column of the liquid crystal display 52, the first variation symbol 131G having a notice character of level 7 display of “7” corresponding to the effect display pattern “→ first symbol stop” is displayed. Stop display.
As shown in FIG. 46C, the CPU 261 starts a variable display of each of the first, second, and third symbols and then stores a second predetermined time (for example, about 3.5 seconds) stored in the ROM 262 in advance. In the right column of the liquid crystal display 52, the first variation symbol 131G having a notice character of level 0 display of “7” corresponding to the effect display pattern “→ second symbol stop” is displayed. In addition to the stop display, a predetermined reach effect display process is executed corresponding to the effect display pattern “→ reach display”.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 46D, the CPU 261 stops and displays “7” in the left and right columns of the liquid crystal display 52 in correspondence with the effect display pattern “→ Level 50 display effect display”. Each first variation symbol 131G having the level 0 display notice character is changed to each second variation symbol 132G having the level 50 indication notice character and is stopped and displayed. At the same time, the CPU 291 displays the first variation symbols 131A to 131H having the level 0 display warning characters displayed in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52 as the second variation symbols 132A to 132H having the level 50 display notification characters. Change to 132H and display it fluctuating.
Further, as shown in FIG. 47E, the CPU 261 displays “7” that is stopped and displayed in the left and right columns of the liquid crystal display 52 in correspondence with the effect display pattern “→ level 100 display effect display”. Each second variation symbol 132G having the warning character of level 50 display is changed to each third variation symbol 133G having a notification character of level 7 display of “7”, and is stopped and displayed. At the same time, the CPU 291 displays the second variation diagrams 132A to 132H each having a level 50 display warning character displayed in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52, and the third variation symbols 133A to 133H each having a level 100 display notification character. Change to 133H and display it fluctuating.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 47 (F) to 47 (G), the CPU 261 corresponds to the effect display pattern “→ 3rd symbol stop” and the level of “7” in the left column and the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. Each third variation symbol 133G having 100 display notice characters is stopped and displayed. At the same time, in the middle row, the third variation symbols 133A to 133H having the level 100 display notice character at a variation rate that can be confirmed by the player are variably displayed, and after a predetermined time (for example, after about 5 seconds), After the third variable symbols 133E and 133F having the notice characters of level 100 display of “5” and “6” are dropped and displayed from the upper edge to the lower edge of the display screen at a low speed, the level 100 of “7” is displayed. The third variation symbol 133G having the display notice character is stopped and displayed.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 47 (H), when the confirmation signal is input from the sub-integrated control board 280 (S206: YES), the CPU 261 moves the liquid crystal display 52 to the left, middle, and right columns. Each of the third variation symbols 133G having the level-displayed “7” notice character of “7” displayed in a stopped state is confirmed and displayed, and a “big hit” character is displayed on the upper edge of the display screen to indicate “15 Announcement of winning the jackpot “per round”.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 performs the effect display pattern table storage area of the ROM 262 based on the “effect pattern command” input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. A corresponding “effect display pattern” is selected from the first effect display pattern table 125, the second effect display pattern table 126, and the third effect display pattern table 127 stored in 262A. When the selected “effect display pattern” includes “→ level 50 display effect display”, the CPU 261 displays the left column, the middle column, and the middle column displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52. Each of the first variation symbols 131A to 131H having the level 0 display warning character in the right column has the level 50 display warning character for warning that it is more likely to develop a jackpot than the level 0 display warning character. The display is changed to the second variation symbols 132A to 132H.
As a result, the player develops the first variation symbols 131A to 131H having the level 0-displayed notice characters in the left, middle, and right columns being watched more greatly than the level 0-displayed notice characters. Since the change is made to each of the second variable symbols 132A to 132H having the warning character of level 50 that notifies that the possibility is high, it is possible to easily grasp the notice content displayed on the display screen of the special symbol display device 48. Thus, it is possible to perform display control with certainty. In addition, the display can be surely controlled so that the player's expectation for winning the jackpot can be enhanced by each of the second variation symbols 132A to 132H having the notice character of level 50 display for notifying that the jackpot will be won. It becomes.

When the selected “effect display pattern” includes “→ level 100 display effect display”, the CPU 261 displays the left column, the middle column, and the middle column displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52. Level 100 for notifying that each of the second variation symbols 132A to 132H having the level 50-displayed warning character that notifies the jackpot in the right column is more likely to develop a jackpot than the level 50-displayed warning character. The display is changed to the third variation symbols 133A to 133H having the notice character for display.
Accordingly, the player develops the second variation symbols 132 </ b> A to 132 </ b> H having the notice characters of the level 50 display in the left column, the middle column, and the right column, which are being watched, with a jackpot than the notice character of the level 50 display. Since the change is made to each of the third variable symbols 133A to 133H having a warning character of level 100 that notifies that there is a high possibility, the content of the warning displayed on the display screen of the special symbol display device 48 can be easily grasped. Thus, it is possible to perform display control with certainty. In addition, since the warning character with the level 100 display is more likely to develop a jackpot than the warning character with the level 50 display, it is ensured that the player's expectation for winning the jackpot can be further increased. Display control can be performed.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same reference numerals as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 21 denote the same or corresponding parts as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. .
The schematic configuration of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Various control processes are the same as those of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is different in that, instead of the “start opening winning process” according to the first embodiment, a “start opening winning process 2” described later is executed. .

  Here, “start opening winning process 2” executed by the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 and 51. FIG. Note that the control processing of FIG. 48 operates at regular intervals (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on. 48 to 51 are stored in the ROM 292 and RAM 293 provided in the main control board 290, and are executed by the CPU 291.

As shown in FIG. 48, the CPU 291 executes the processing of S1 to S2 (see FIG. 16) in S301 to S302, and then executes the sub-processing (see FIG. 49) of “mode determination processing” described later in S303. To do.
Subsequently, in S304, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the count value of the jackpot counter matches the jackpot value, that is, whether or not the jackpot value.
In the determination process for determining whether or not it is a “big hit”, first, the algebra V stored by substituting the “count value” of the big hit counter 293A at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57 is read. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V matches any of the “big jackpot values” stored in the RAM 293. If they match, “1” is assigned to the jackpot algebra Q (“0” is assigned to the jackpot algebra Q when the power is turned on) and stored in the RAM 293. “0” is substituted into Q and stored in the RAM 293. The jackpot algebra Q is read again from the RAM 293, and when the jackpot algebra Q is “1”, the CPU 291 determines that the jackpot algebra Q is “jackpot”. On the other hand, when the jackpot algebra Q is “0”, the CPU 291 determines that it is not “hit”, that is, “lost”.

If it is determined that the game is a big win (S304: YES), in S305, the CPU 291 proceeds to a process of S306 after executing a sub-process (see FIG. 50) of “mode process” described later.
In S <b> 306, the CPU 291 reads out the 5 series flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the 5 series flag is ON, that is, “1”. If the five-run flag is ON (S306: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S307. In S307, the CPU 291 reads the initial hit flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether the initial hit flag is ON, that is, whether it is “1”.

If the first winning flag is ON, that is, if the first winning flag is “1” (S307: YES), in S308, the CPU 291 notifies the five consecutive symbols (for example, “777”) that notifies the five consecutive winnings. ) And is stored in the RAM 293 as the “final stop symbol” symbol data, and then the process proceeds to S310. Note that, as will be described later, when 5 wins are won, the probability of drawing lots of jackpots is four times that of normal times until the remaining 4 jackpots are won (see FIGS. 49 and 50).
On the other hand, if the first winning flag is OFF, that is, if the first winning flag is “0” (S307: NO), in S309, the CPU 291 causes the special bonus symbol at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57 The stored algebra X is read by substituting the “count value” of the selection counter 293F. If the algebra X is “0” or “1”, the jackpot symbol “111” is selected and stored as symbol data “final stop symbol” in the RAM 293, and the process proceeds to S310. When the algebra X is “2” to “4”, the jackpot symbol “333” is selected and stored as symbol data “final stop symbol” in the RAM 293, and the process proceeds to S310. When the algebra X is “5” to “7”, the jackpot symbol “555” is selected and stored as symbol data “final stop symbol” in the RAM 293, and the process proceeds to S310.

  Subsequently, in S310, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern 1 as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, and stores the variation pattern command 1 in the RAM 293 as instruction information instructing the variation pattern 1. The process proceeds to S317.

In S306, when the 5-unit flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF, that is, when it is “0” (S306: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S311. In S <b> 311, the CPU 291 reads the initial hit flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the initial hit flag is ON, that is, “1”.
When the initial hit flag is ON, that is, when the initial hit flag is “1” (S311: YES), in S312, the CPU 291 notifies the double winning symbol (for example, “888”). ) And is stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data of “final stop symbol”, and then the process proceeds to S314. As will be described later, when winning two consecutive wins, the probability of lottery winning lottery is four times as high as usual until the remaining one jackpot is acquired (see FIGS. 49 and 50).

  On the other hand, when the first winning flag is OFF, that is, when the first winning flag is “0” (S311: NO), in S313, the CPU 291 causes the special bonus symbol at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the starting port 57 to be awarded. The algebra X stored by substituting the “count value” of the selection counter 293F is read. When the algebra X is “0” or “1”, the jackpot symbol “222” is selected and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data “final stop symbol”, and then the process proceeds to S314. When the algebra X is “2” to “4”, the jackpot symbol “444” is selected and stored as symbol data “final stop symbol” in the RAM 293, and the process proceeds to S314. When the algebra X is “5” to “7”, the jackpot symbol of “666” is selected and stored as symbol data of “final stop symbol” in the RAM 293, and then the process proceeds to S314.

  Subsequently, in S314, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern 2 as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, and stores the variation pattern command 2 in the RAM 293 as instruction information instructing the variation pattern 2. The process proceeds to S317.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S304 that it is not “big hit”, that is, “lost” (S304: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S315. In S315, the CPU 291 selects a lost symbol.
The selection of the lost symbol is a reach state in which two symbols of the three symbols of the variable symbols are aligned (for example, “5, −5”, “7, −, 7”, etc., where “−” It is determined whether or not to display a loss after displaying (indicating that it is rotating). In this determination, the reach count value stored in the parameter storage area 293L is read, and any of the reach occurrence numerical values stored in advance in the ROM 292 (in the case of the fifth embodiment, “0” to “27”). If they match, it is determined that a loss is displayed after the reach state, and a loss reach symbol is selected. For the selection of the lost reach symbol, the reach symbol selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 293L, the reach lose symbol corresponding to this count value is read from the ROM 292, and stored in the RAM 293 as the symbol data of "final stop symbol". In addition, the reach count value stored in the parameter storage area 293L is read, and if it is determined that none of the reach occurrence numerical values match, the lost symbol selection count value is read from the parameter storage area 293L and corresponds to the count value. The symbol data of the symbol to be lost is read from the ROM 292 and stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data of “final stop symbol”.

Subsequently, in S316, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern 3 as the variation pattern instructed to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, stores the variation pattern command 3 in the RAM 293 as instruction information instructing the variation pattern 3, and then The process proceeds to S317.
And in S317-S319, CPU291 performs the process (refer FIG. 16) of said S12-S14. Thereafter, in S320, the CPU 291 executes a sub-process of “big hit game process 2” described later, and then ends the process.

Next, the sub-process (S303) of the “mode determination process” will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 49, first, in S331, the CPU 291 reads out a 5-unit flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the 5-unit flag is ON, that is, “1”. If the five-unit flag is ON (S331: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S332.
On the other hand, when the 5-unit flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF (S331: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S333. In S333, the CPU 291 reads out the double flag from the RAM 293, reads the double flag, and executes a determination process for determining whether the double flag is ON, that is, “1”. When the double flag is ON (S333: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S332.
In S332, the CPU 291 stores “1, 3, 5, 7” as the “big hit value” in the RAM 293, ends the sub-process, returns to the “start opening prize process 2”, and performs the process of S304. Migrate to
On the other hand, when the double flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF (S333: NO), the CPU 291 stores “7” as the “big hit value” in the RAM 293, ends the sub-process, Returning to “Process 2”, the process proceeds to S304.
Therefore, when the 5th series flag or the 2nd series flag is ON, the probability that the “big hit” lottery will be 4/360. In addition, when the 5-unit flag or the 2-unit flag is OFF, the probability of winning the “big hit” is 1/360.

In S342, the CPU 291 reads the stored algebra Y by substituting the “count value” of the mode selection counter 293K at the time of winning from the parameter storage area 293L to the start port 57. Then, a determination process for determining whether or not the algebra Y is any one of the five-mode values “0, 2, 4, 6, 8” stored in the ROM 292 in advance is executed.
When the algebra Y is one of the five-unit mode values “0, 2, 4, 6, 8” (S342: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S343. In S343, the CPU 291 reads out the 5-series flag from the RAM 293, substitutes “1” for the 5-series flag, and stores the 5-series flag in the RAM 293 again. In S344, the CPU 291 reads the algebra R from the RAM 293, substitutes “4” for the algebra R and stores it again in the RAM 293, and then proceeds to the processing of S347. When the pachinko machine 1 is started up or reset, “0” is assigned to the 5-unit flag and stored in the RAM 293.

On the other hand, when the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 293L does not match any of the five-unit mode values “0, 2, 4, 6, 8” (S342: NO), the CPU 291 performs the process of S345. Transition. In S345, the CPU 291 reads the double flag from the RAM 293, substitutes “1” for the double flag, and stores it in the RAM 293 again.

When the pachinko machine 1 is started up or reset, “0” is assigned to the normal flag and stored in the RAM 293.

On the other hand, when the normal flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF in S341, that is, when it is “0” (S341: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S349. In S349, the CPU 291 reads the initial hit flag from the RAM 293, turns off the initial hit flag, that is, substitutes “0”, and stores it in the RAM 293 again.
In S350, the CPU 291 reads out the 5th series flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the 5th series flag is ON, that is, "1".
If the 5-unit flag is ON (S350: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S351. In S <b> 351, the CPU 291 reads the algebra R from the RAM 293, subtracts “1” from the algebra R, and stores it again in the RAM 293.

Subsequently, in S <b> 352, the CPU 291 reads the algebra R again from the RAM 293 and executes a determination process for determining whether the algebra R is “0”. If the algebra R read from the RAM 293 is not “0” (S352: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process, returns to the “start opening winning process 2”, and proceeds to the process of S306. .
On the other hand, when the algebra R read from the RAM 293 is “0” (S352: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S353. In S353, the CPU 291 reads the five-unit flag from the RAM 293, turns off the five-unit flag, that is, substitutes “0”, stores it in the RAM 293 again, and then proceeds to the processing of S354. In S354, the CPU 291 reads the normal flag from the RAM 293, turns on the normal flag, that is, substitutes “1”, stores it again in the RAM 293, ends the sub-process, and ends the “start opening prize process 2”. The process returns to S306.

  On the other hand, when the 5-unit flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF in S350 (S350: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S355. In S <b> 355, the CPU 291 reads the algebra R from the RAM 293, subtracts “1” from the algebra R, and stores it again in the RAM 293. Subsequently, in S356, the CPU 291 reads the algebra R again from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the algebra R is “0”. If the algebra R read from the RAM 293 is not “0” (S356: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process, returns to the “start opening winning process 2”, and proceeds to the process of S306. .

On the other hand, if the jackpot algebra Q read from the RAM 293 is “0” in S361, it is determined that the jackpot has not been drawn (S361: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process, Return to winning process 2 ”.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the fifth embodiment, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 performs the effect display pattern table storage area of the ROM 262 based on the “effect pattern command” input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. A corresponding “effect display pattern” is selected from the first effect display pattern table 81, the second effect display pattern table 82, and the third effect display pattern table 83 stored in 262A. When the selected “effect display pattern” includes “→ diamond display”, the CPU 261 displays the left, middle, and right columns displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52. The first variation symbols 91A to 91H are changed to the second variation symbols 92A to 92H each having a diamond notice character for notifying that a big hit will be displayed.
As a result, the player can see each of the second variation symbols 92A to 92A having diamond notice characters for notifying that each of the first variation symbols 91A to 91H in the left column, the middle column, and the right column is a big hit. Since it is changed to 92H, it becomes possible to reliably perform display control so that the notice content displayed on the display screen of the special symbol display device 48 can be easily grasped. Further, the display can be surely controlled so that the player's expectation for winning the jackpot can be enhanced by each of the second variation symbols 92A to 92H having a diamond notice character for notifying that the jackpot will be won. . In addition, when the jackpot is drawn lottery, the game mode in which the probability that the jackpot will be drawn will be four times the normal gaming state continues until the jackpot is generated five times continuously or twice in succession. The expectation for winning the jackpot can be further increased.

When the selected “effect display pattern” includes “→ shining diamond effect display”, the CPU 261 displays the left, middle, and right columns displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52. Each of the second variation symbols 92A to 92H having a diamond notice character for notifying that a row will be a big hit is more likely to be a big hit than a diamond notice character and each having a sparkling diamond notice character for notifying The display is changed to the third variation symbols 93A to 93H.
As a result, the player is more likely to win the second variation symbols 92A to 92H having the diamond notice characters in the left, middle, and right columns being watched than the diamond notice characters. Are changed to the third variation symbols 93A to 93H having sparkling diamond notice characters, so that the notice contents displayed on the display screen of the special symbol display device 48 can be easily grasped. It is possible to control display. In addition, since the notice character of the shining diamond is more likely to be a big hit than the notice character of the diamond, the display control is surely performed so as to further increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot. Is possible. In addition, when the jackpot is drawn lottery, the game mode in which the probability that the jackpot will be drawn will be four times the normal gaming state continues until the jackpot is generated five times continuously or twice in succession. The expectation for winning the jackpot can be further increased.
