Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that imparts a ball entry rate improvement state in which an opening time in which an opening / closing means of a start winning opening is in an open state is increased per unit time as compared to a normal state.

  Conventionally, in pachinko gaming machines (hereinafter referred to as “gaming machines”), which is a type of gaming machine, the number of symbol-variable games on hold triggered by the entry of a gaming ball into the start winning opening provided on the gaming board 1 is added and stored. When the number of reserved memories is stored at the time of starting the symbol variation game, 1 is subtracted from the number of reserved memories, a big hit lottery is performed to determine whether or not a big hit is made, and a plurality of symbols are variably displayed. The lottery result is derived in the floating game. The player can recognize a big hit or a loss from the symbol combination finally stopped and displayed in the symbol variation game. When the symbol combination finally stopped and displayed is a big hit, a big hit game that opens the big winning opening is performed. And, some pachinko machines give a ball entry rate improvement state that increases the opening time when the opening / closing means of the start winning opening is in an open state after the jackpot game ends, compared to the normal state per unit time. Provided (for example, Patent Document 1).

In general gaming machines, an upper limit is set in advance for the number of reserved memories, and when the number of reserved memories is stored up to the upper limit, if the symbol variation game is out of play, the variation that shortens the production time The symbol variation game is executed at. As a result, it is possible to quickly digest the held game and to prevent a situation where 1 is not added because the number of reserved memories has reached the upper limit even if winning at the start winning opening. On the other hand, when the number of reserved memories is not stored (less than 2) and the symbol variation game is out of play, the symbol variation game is executed with normal variation with a longer presentation time. ing. Thereby, since it is difficult to enter the start winning opening, it is possible to minimize the time during which no symbol variation game is played. Further, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, the symbol variation game can be executed with a shortened variation even when there is no reserved memory number.
JP 2000-334121 A

  By the way, in a general gaming machine, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the reserved memory number is the upper limit is high. Is to be executed. In such a shortened variation symbol variation game, generally, there is not enough time to execute the announcement effect that suggests whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit, and the announcement effect cannot be performed. Therefore, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the game effect becomes monotonous and tired unless the hit determination or the reach determination on whether or not to perform the reach effect is affirmed.

  On the other hand, when the shortening variation time is lengthened, there is a problem that when the entering rate improvement state is given, the digestion of the held game is slowed down and the number of reserved storage that is wasted increases. That is, the tempo of the game is deteriorated and the player is uncomfortable.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to allow a notice effect to be executed and to play a game with a good tempo even when the entrance rate improvement state is given. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can execute the above.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is a start winning opening for detecting a winning of a game ball, and a pattern for changing a plurality of kinds of symbols triggered by detection of a winning of a game ball by the starting winning opening. An effect instruction means for instructing execution of the variable game and an effect control means for causing the effect execution means to execute the symbol variable game according to the instruction of the effect instruction means, and a jackpot display result predetermined in the symbol variable game is displayed. In the case of a gaming machine to which a big hit game is given, a random number acquisition means for acquiring a random number for determination upon the detection of a winning of a game ball by the start winning opening, and the starting winning opening wins a game ball When detected, a holding storage means for storing a winning determination random number acquired by the random number acquisition means when the winning is detected as a start holding ball, and at the start of the symbol variation game, When the stop storage means stores the starting hold ball, the big hit determination means for comparing the value of the random number for hit determination corresponding to the start hold ball and a predetermined jackpot determination value to determine whether or not the hit is a big hit; If the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative, a variation pattern that can specify the effect time of the symbol variation game is determined from a plurality of types of variation patterns for the hit effect, while the jackpot determination means If the determination result is negative, the variation pattern determining means for determining the variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier effects, and the determination result of the jackpot determining means is affirmative, after the symbol variation game is over A jackpot game granting means for granting a jackpot game for opening and closing a special prize opening; an opening and closing means for operating the start prize opening to be open and closed; If the result of the determination is positive, after the big hit game is finished, the entrance rate is improved by giving the entrance rate improvement state to increase the opening time for the opening / closing means to be open per unit time from the normal state. State providing means, and notice means for executing a notice effect that suggests the possibility that the symbol variation game will be a big hit, and an upper limit is predetermined for the number of starting and holding balls stored in the holding storage means In the variation pattern for the off-stage effect, the first variation pattern for the off-line effect, in which the symbols of all the rows are variably displayed, and the symbols of all the rows are confirmed and stopped without being subjected to the reach effect. The second off-stage performance is to display the symbols in all rows in a variably displayed manner with a duration shorter than the performance time specified by the variation pattern for the off-direction production, and to display the symbols in all rows as it is without being reached. A variation pattern for use and symbols in all rows are variably displayed, and after the notice effect is executed by the notice means, the symbols in all rows are fixedly stopped and displayed as they are without the reach effect. The design of all rows is variably displayed with a production time shorter than the production time specified by the variation pattern for the third off-stage production and the production time specified by the third deviation production, and the design of all rows is confirmed as it is without the reach production. And a variation pattern for effect of stoppage display, wherein the variation pattern determining means is when the determination result of the jackpot determining means is negative, and the entrance rate improving state providing means is the entrance When the rate improvement state is not given, if the number of starting and holding balls stored in the holding storage means has reached a predetermined value, the variation pattern for the second off-stage effect is determined. on the other hand, When the number of the movement holding balls does not reach the predetermined value, the variation pattern for the first off-line effect is determined, and the determination result of the jackpot determination means is negative, and the incoming ball When the rate improvement state giving means gives the entrance rate improvement state, the variation pattern for the third off effect is determined with a predetermined probability regardless of the start holding ball stored in the holding storage means. Alternatively, the fourth misalignment effect variation pattern is determined, the effect instruction unit specifies the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination unit to the effect control unit, and the effect control unit specifies The gist is to execute a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the notice unit determines that the variation pattern determination unit determines the variation pattern for the third off-stage effect continuously for a predetermined number of times. The gist is that the notice effect is not executed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, when the determination result of the jackpot determination unit is negative, a reach determination unit that determines whether or not to execute a reach effect is provided. The reach determination means, when the entrance rate improvement state giving means does not give the entrance rate improvement state, the number of start holding balls stored in the hold storage means reaches a predetermined value. Compared with the case where the number of starting and holding balls does not reach a predetermined value, the gist is that the reach effect is executed with high probability.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to claim 3, wherein, when the determination result of the jackpot determination result is affirmative, the probability that the jackpot determination is won after the end of the jackpot game is greater than the probability in the uncertain change state. Probability determination means for determining whether or not to give a probability change state having a high probability is provided, and the reach determination means is a non-probability change when the entrance rate improvement state provision means does not give the entrance rate improvement state. The gist is that the case where the probability variation state is given is configured to execute the reach effect with a higher probability than the case where the state is a state.

  According to the present invention, even when the entrance rate improvement state is given, a notice effect can be executed and a game can be executed with a good tempo.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as “pachinko machine”) which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko machine 10 is schematically shown, and a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is opened and closed on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body. And is detachably assembled. On the front side of the middle frame 12, a front frame 14 having a glass frame on which a protective glass for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine is mounted and an upper ball tray 15 are opened and closed in a laterally open state. It is assembled as possible. In addition, the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13a of the game board 13 are used as a light emitting device (effect execution means) that performs a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.). The decorative lamp 16 is provided. In addition, a speaker 17 is disposed below the outer frame 11 as sound output means (effect execution means) that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect based on the sound output. A lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13.

  A special-purpose display H1 as a 7-segment display device is disposed at the lower right of the game area 13a of the game board 13. In addition, the center accessory 20 disposed approximately at the center of the game area 13a of the game board 13 includes a variable display H2 as a liquid crystal display type display device (production execution means). As shown in FIG. 2, the variable display H <b> 2 is provided in the center of the center accessory 20. The special symbol display H1 executes a symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  Then, in the symbol variation game, the special symbol display H1 displays a special symbol by varying a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “special symbols”) in one row. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. On the other hand, in the display effect related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display a decorative drawing for each column. This decorative drawing is an effect design used for diversifying display effects.

  On the special symbol display H1, the symbol variation display is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decorative drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop).

  In this embodiment, one special figure corresponding to the lottery results of the big hit lottery and the small lottery lottery is selected from the multiple types (106 types in the present embodiment) of special figures for the special figure display H1. The selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the symbol variation game. The 106 types of special charts are 100 types of big hit symbols (corresponding to the big hit display result) that can recognize big hits, and five types of small hit symbols (small hit display results) that can be used to recognize small hits. ), And is classified into one type of off-symbol that becomes a symbol that can recognize the off-point. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when a small hit symbol is displayed, a small hit game is given to the player. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [ 9] is displayed as a decorative drawing. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 has a larger display area than the special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special figure. . For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all columns stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the big hit can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (hit symbol) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [757] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this detachment becomes a detachable symbol combination (decoration symbol) by the decorative drawing. In addition, a predetermined symbol combination ([191] [212] [323] [434] [545] [656] [767] [878] [989] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the symbol combinations out of place. In this case, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is awarded. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorations in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative illustrations are temporarily stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are once stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are temporarily displayed in the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) ) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is variably displayed. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column for temporarily displaying the decorative drawing is the first stop display column, and then the right column for temporarily stopping the decorative drawing is displayed. Becomes the second stop display column, and finally, the middle column for temporarily displaying the decorative drawing is the third stop display column.

  The variable display H2 displays a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special figure display H1. More specifically, the symbol combination of the special symbol display H1 and the symbol combination of the variable display H2 correspond to each other. When the symbol variation game ends, the symbol combination of the special symbol and the symbol combination of the decorative symbol are combined. Correspondingly, a fixed stop is displayed. For example, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display H1, the big hit symbol combinations such as [222] and [444] are also fixedly stopped and displayed on the variable indicator H2. . Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed in the special symbol display area H1, the off symbol combination such as [151] or [345] is also displayed on the variable display H2 in a fixed stop manner. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes.

  As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effect related to the symbol variation game (the symbol variation game in which one column of symbols is variably displayed) performed on the special symbol display H1 is changed (three columns of symbols are varied). A symbol variation game that displays a combination of symbols is displayed.

  In addition, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 (left side of the special figure display H1). In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). ”May be indicated). In this embodiment, there are three types of common diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the upper LED is lit, and only the lower LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the general map shown when both LEDs are lit is referred to as “0”, and the general map shown when only the upper LED (or only the lower LED) is lit is generally used. It is assumed that the figure is “1”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or a loss from a symbol (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  A start winning opening 22 having an opening / closing blade 21 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed below the center accessory 20. Behind the start winning opening 22 is provided a start opening sensor SW1 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning game ball. The start winning opening 22 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game in response to detection of a winning game ball. Also, below the start winning port 22, a special winning port 23 (special winning port) provided with a large winning port door 24 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed. . When the big hit game is awarded, the big winning opening 23 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 24 and the game ball can be won, so that the player has a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. There is a case.

  The pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment stores the number of winning game balls when the game ball is won at the start winning opening 22 and stores the number of the reserved game balls in the machine (main storage number) It is stored in the RAM 30c) of the control board 30. The number of reserved memories accumulated when the symbol variation game is being performed indicates the number of symbol variation games being held (waiting for symbol variation game). The reserved memory number is incremented by 1 when a game ball wins the start winning opening 22 and is decremented by 1 when the symbol variation game is started. Therefore, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 22 during the symbol variation game, the reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). Then, as shown in FIG. 2, in the lower right part of the game board 13 (on the left side of the special symbol display H1 and below the normal symbol display H10), there is a pending symbol variation game based on the number of reserved memory. A reserved memory number display portion L for informing the player of the number of times is provided.

  The reserved memory number display portion L is configured by a light emitting means including a plurality of (four in this embodiment) LEDs including a hold lamp L1, a hold lamp L2, a hold lamp L3, and a hold lamp L4. A player is notified of the number of symbol variation games on hold by the number of lighting of the respective holding lamps L1 to L4. For example, when only the hold lamp L1 is lit, it indicates that one symbol variation game is being held, and when all the hold lamps L1 to L4 are lit, four symbol variation games are displayed. Indicates that it is pending.

  An operation gate 25 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 25, a gate sensor SW2 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided. The actuating gate 25 can give a start condition for the usual game when triggered by detection (passage detection) of a game ball. The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result as to whether or not the open / close blades 21 are opened. When the game per game is given, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the start winning opening 22 by opening the opening / closing blade 21, and the player may have a chance to easily acquire the start condition of the symbol variation game. it can.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function that gives a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1223 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (40/1223 in the present embodiment). In the present embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is finished is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not given is a non-probability variation jackpot. Further, the probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is given. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 21 is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the normal game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state that fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 21 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the open / close blade 21 is opened once and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the open. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 21 is opened three times and the opened state is maintained until 1600 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 21 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates favorably for the player. Yes.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is entered, the opening / closing blade 21 is closed. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 21 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entry rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. .

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that gives a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time-short”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. Yes. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the open / close blade 21 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the improved entrance rate, as described above, the open / close blade 21 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game.

  In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the open / close blade 21 is opened once and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the open. On the other hand, when winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening and closing blades 21 are opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1600 ms elapses after opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 21 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is given, compared to the state where the normal state is given. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is confirmed and stopped on the respective displays H1 to H2 in the symbol change game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening stage, the round game in which the grand prize opening 23 (the grand prize opening door 24) is opened has an upper limit of a predetermined number of rounds (in this embodiment, any one of 15 rounds, 7 rounds, or 2 rounds). As multiple times. One round game is until the grand prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, and during the single round game, there are a predetermined number (the maximum number of balls entered) of the big prize opening 23. It is released until a game ball wins or until a specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  Then, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the six types of big hit games shown in FIG. 4, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become. Of the six types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, there are six types of jackpot symbols of 100 kinds of special symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, the symbols A, B, C, D, E, and F. Classified into groups.

  In the symbol A, 32 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1 are distributed. Similarly, 32 types of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1 are distributed to the symbol B. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, nine types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol C. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, two types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol D. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, seven types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol E. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, 18 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol F. In addition, five types of special symbols (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are assigned to the symbol G shown in FIG.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the special chart display H1, and the specified number of rounds is set to “15”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. It is a 15 round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol A is displayed on the special chart display H1 is referred to as “15R probability variable jackpot game” (first jackpot game). In the 15R probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the 15R probability variable big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R probability variation big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability change state.

  In addition, in the 15R probable big hit game, the opening time is “6 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “14.5 (seconds). ) ”Is set. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, in the 15R probability variation big hit game, “25 (seconds)” that is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. In addition, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 15R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final release interval time (the time from the end of the final round to the start of ending) ) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol B is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to "7 times", and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a 7-round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol B is displayed on the special chart display H1 is referred to as “7R probability variable jackpot game” (first jackpot game). In the 7R probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 7 round games in the 7R probability variation big hit game, the big winning opening door 24 of the big winning opening 23 is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 7R probability variation big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability change state.

  Also, in the 7R probable big hit game, the opening time is “6 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “14.5 (seconds). ) ”Is set. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, in the 7R probability variation big hit game, “25 (seconds)” which is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 7R probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (the time from the end of the final round to the end of the ending) ) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot symbol that is classified as symbol C is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a two round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol C is displayed on the special symbol display H1 is referred to as “first 2R probability variable jackpot game” (second jackpot game). In the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. In addition, in the two round games in the first 2R probability variation big hit game, each of the round games is set to open the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) “one time”.

  In addition, in the first 2R probability variation jackpot game, depending on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, there are cases where a probability variation state and an increased entrance rate state are given after the jackpot game ends, and only the probability variation state after the jackpot game ends. May be granted. Specifically, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, only the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends (that is, the winning rate improved state is given 0 times). . If the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the increased winning rate state are given after the end of the big hit game. In addition, after the end of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, when the entering rate improvement state is given, the entering rate improvement state is given until the symbol variation game is played 50 times.

  In the first 2R probability variation big hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “0.3 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game. In addition, when the symbol C is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the first 2R probability variable big hit game is finished). “1.4 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. On the other hand, when the symbol C is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, the winning rate improvement state is given after the first 2R probability variable big hit game is finished). ), “7.0 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the first 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the final round to the start of ending) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  In addition, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the first 2R probability variation big hit game is the number of game balls that enter the big prize opening 23 in one round game, The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. That is, in each round game of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, within nine rounds of game time (0.3 (seconds)), “9 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls, is launched and entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol D is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a two round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol D is displayed on the special symbol display H1 is referred to as “second 2R probability variable jackpot game” (second jackpot game). In the second 2R probability variation big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the second 2R probability variation big hit game, each of the round games is set to open the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) “one time”.

  In the second 2R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a positive change state and an improved entrance rate are given after the big hit game ends. It should be noted that after the second 2R probability variation big hit game is finished, the state of improving the entrance rate is given until the next big hit game is given.

  In the second 2R probability variation big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.3 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “7. “0 (seconds)” is set. Note that the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the second 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the final round to the start of ending) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  In addition, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, in the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the second 2R probability variation big hit game, the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 23 in one round game is the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. That is, in each round game of the second 2R probability variation big hit game, within the round game time (0.3 (seconds)), the game ball of “9 balls” that will be the upper limit of the number of balls is launched and entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol E is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a two round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol E is displayed on the special symbol display H1 is referred to as "third 2R probability variable jackpot game" (second jackpot game). In the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. In the second round game in the third 2R probability variation big hit game, the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) is set to be opened “once” in each round game.

  Also, in the third 2R probability variation jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are given after the big hit game ends, and only the probability variation state after the jackpot game ends. May be granted. Specifically, when the winning rate of the big hit lottery is won, only the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished if the state of improving the entrance rate is not given. If the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the increased winning rate state are given after the end of the big hit game. In addition, after the end of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, when the winning rate improvement state is given, the winning rate improvement state is given until the next big hit game is given.

  Further, in the third 2R probability variation big hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “0.3 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game. In addition, when the symbol E is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the end of the third 2R probability variable big hit game) “1.4 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. On the other hand, when the symbol E is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, the winning rate improvement state is given after the third 2R probability variable big hit game is finished). ), “7.0 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the third 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the last round to the start of ending) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  In addition, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, in the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, the number of game balls that enter the big winning opening 23 in one round game is the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, within 9 hours of the round game time (0.3 (seconds)), “9 balls” that are the upper limit of the number of balls will be launched and entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed on the special symbol display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the non-probable change state ( It is a two-round big hit game in the normal state). Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed on the special chart display H1 is referred to as “2R non-probability variable jackpot game” (second jackpot game). In the 2R non-probable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the 2R non-probability big hit game, the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) is set to be opened “once” in each round game.

  Also, in the 2R uncertain variable big hit game given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed, the short time state (that is, the improved entry rate state) is set according to the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. Whether or not it is given is different. Specifically, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the short time state (entry rate improving state) is not given after the big hit game ends. If the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the short time state (entry rate improving state) is given after the end of the big hit game. In addition, after the 2R uncertain variable big hit game that is given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed, when the short-time state is given, until the symbol variation game is played 50 times or until the next big hit Until the game is given, a short time state (entrance rate improvement state) is given.

  In the 2R non-probability big hit game, “0.004 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.3 (second)” is set as the round game time of one round game. In addition, when the winning rate improvement state is not granted at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the 2R non-probable big hit game ends), the ending time is “1.4 (seconds)”. Is set. On the other hand, when the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the improved winning rate is given after the 2R non-probable big hit game ends), the ending time is “7.0 (seconds). ) ”Is set. Note that the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 2R non-probable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the final round to the start of ending) Time) is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  That is, the opening time and the round game time in the 2R non-probability big hit game are set to the same time as the opening time and the round game time in the first 2R probability big hit game, respectively. In addition, the ending time in the 2R non-probability big hit game where the winning rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished is the same as the ending time in the first 2R probable big hit game where the winning rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished. (1.4 seconds). In addition, the ending time in the 2R non-probability big hit game in which the winning rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished is the ending time in the first 2R probable big hit game in which the winning rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished, The same time (7.0 seconds) is set. Further, the opening mode of the big prize opening door 24 in the first 2R probability variation big hit game is the same as the opening mode of the big prize opening door 24 in the 2R non-probability big hit game.

  For this reason, any one of the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, and the 2R non-probable big hit game is determined based on the opening state of the grand prize winning door 24, the opening time, the round game time, and the ending time. It is impossible to determine whether it has been granted. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game to which the first 2R probability variation big hit game is given and the effect of the symbol variation game to which the third 2R probability variation big hit game is given Since the effect contents of the symbol variation game to which the 2R non-probability big hit game is given are the same, it cannot be distinguished from the effect contents. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the production content of the symbol variation game to which the first 2R probability variation big hit game is given is the same as the production content of the symbol variation game to which the 2R non-probability variation big hit game is given. Therefore, it cannot be distinguished from the contents of the production. In addition, the content of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the content of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, and the content of the 2R non-probability big hit game are the same. I can't do it. Similarly, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, and the 2R non-probable big hit depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given after the big hit game ends. It is impossible to determine which of the games has been awarded. That is, it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability variation state is given after the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the third 2R probability variation big hit game, or the 2R non-probability big hit game ends.

  The small hit game that is given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol G is displayed on the special symbol display H1, the prescribed round number is set to “1” and the round game of one round game The upper limit number of balls (count) is set to “9 balls”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability variation state is continuously granted even after the small hit lottery is completed, and the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery If it has been done, after the small hit game is finished, the improved entrance rate is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the entrance rate improvement state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In addition, in the small hit game, “0 (seconds)” as the opening time, “3.388 (seconds)” as the ending time when the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning, the winning rate at the time of winning “8.988 (seconds)” is set as the ending time when the improved state is given. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.3 (seconds)” as an opening mode of the big winning opening 23 (big winning opening door 24) of the round game in the small hit game. Between the first opening and the second opening, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time. The time from the closing of the second prize opening door 24 to the start of ending is set to “0.012 (seconds)”.

  As described above, in the small hit game to which the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the time from the start of the small hit game to the end is “0.3 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 ( Second) +0.012 (second) +3.388 (second) ”is set to“ 6.0 (second) ”. The time from the start to the end of the first 2R probability variation big hit game (or the third 2R probability variation big hit game) to which the entrance rate improvement state is not given is “0.004 (seconds) +0.3 ( Second) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 (seconds) +1.996 (seconds) +1.4 (seconds) ”is set to“ 6.0 (seconds) ”, and the grand prize opening door 24 is opened. The time and interval time are the same. For this reason, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, it is impossible to determine which of the small hit game, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, and the third 2R probability variable big hit game is given from the appearance. .

  In addition, in the small hit game to which the entrance rate improvement state is given, the time from the start of the small hit game to the end is “0.3 (second) +2.0 (second) +0.3 (second)”. It is set to “11.6 (seconds)” consisting of “+0.012 (seconds) +8.988 (seconds)”. The time from the start to the end of the first 2R probability variable big hit game (or the third 2R probability variable big hit game) to which the entrance rate improvement state is given is “0.004 (seconds) +0.3. “11.6 (seconds)” consisting of (second) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 (seconds) +1.996 (seconds) +7.0 (seconds) ”. The opening time and interval time are the same. For this reason, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, it becomes impossible to determine which of the small hit game, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, and the third 2R probability variable big hit game is given. Yes.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, the round game time (2.6 (seconds)) of the small hit game is such that the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 23 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game. The time is set. In other words, in the round game of the small hit game, it is substantially to launch and enter the “9 balls” that are the upper limit of the number of balls entered within the round game time (2.6 (seconds)). It is impossible.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31 serve as effect instruction means. Further, the display control board 32 serves as an effect control means.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of each of the control boards 30 to 34 will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a start port sensor SW1 that detects a game ball won in the start winning port 22. Further, the special CPU H1 is connected to the main CPU 30a. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected with a reserved memory number display section L. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns (effect patterns) P1 to P17. The variation patterns P1 to P17 are game effects from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) to when the symbol is confirmed and stopped (the symbol variation game ends) ( A pattern serving as a base of a display effect, a light emission effect, and a sound effect) is shown. In other words, the variation patterns P1 to P17 can specify the effect contents and effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special diagram starts to vary until the special diagram is confirmed and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation patterns were not won in the winning pattern fluctuation patterns P <b> 1 to P <b> 10 selected when winning the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery, and neither the big hit lottery nor the small hit lottery. It consists of variation patterns P11 to P17 for a loss effect selected in the case of a loss.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the winning pattern variation state is given to the variation pattern for the hit effect, the big hit effect selected when the 15R probability variable big hit game and the 7R probability variable big hit game are determined. Variation pattern P1 (first variation turn) and variation pattern P3 (third variation pattern). In addition, the variation pattern for winning effect is provided with a variation rate P6 (sixth variation pattern) and variation pattern P7 selected when a 15R probability variation large winning game is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is given. (Seventh variation pattern). Further, when the winning rate variation state is given to the variation pattern for winning effect, the variation pattern P2 (second variation) selected when the second to third 2R probability variation big hit games are determined. Pattern). Further, when the winning rate variation state is given to the variation pattern for the winning effect, the variation pattern P4 (fourth variation) selected when the second to third 2R probability variation big hit games are determined. Pattern). In addition, when the winning rate variation state is given to the variation pattern for winning effect, when one of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, 2R non-probability big hit game, or small hit game is determined. There is a selected variation pattern P5 (fifth variation pattern).

  Further, when the winning rate variation state is not given to the variation pattern for the winning effect, the variation pattern P8 for the big winning effect selected when the 15R probability variation big hit game and the 7R probability variation big hit game are determined (the first pattern). 8 variation patterns). In addition, when the entrance rate variation state is not given to the variation pattern for the hit effect, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probable big hit game or the small hit game is determined. There is a variation pattern P9 that is selected when it is performed. Further, the variation pattern for winning effect includes a variation pattern P10 selected when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Then, reach is formed in the variation pattern for the outlier effect, and after reaching the reach effect, the variation pattern P11, P12 for the outlier reach effect is finally shifted without forming the reach. There are fluctuation patterns P13 to P17 for an out-of-reach production (hereinafter, simply referred to as a production of production).

  Therefore, it becomes impossible to determine which of the first 2R probability variable big hit game, 2R non-probable big hit game, or small hit game is given from the effect of the symbol variable game based on the fluctuation pattern P5. ing. Similarly, which of the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probability big hit game, or the small hit game is given from the contents of the design variation game based on the variation pattern P9? Cannot be determined. That is, it is impossible to determine whether or not a certain variation state has been given from the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 or the variation pattern P9.

  The jackpot effect performed based on the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8 is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. is there. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P17 will be described.
When the symbol variation game is played based on the normal variation patterns P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8 for the big hit effect, the special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2 can recognize the big hit symbol and the big hit respectively. The symbol combination is finally displayed. Further, when the symbol variation game is played based on the normal variation patterns P6, P7, and P8 for the big hit effect, the revariation effect (re-lottery effect) is executed. The re-variation effect is a temporary jackpot symbol combination (hereinafter simply referred to as a temporary symbol) on the variable display H2 in the symbol variation game. This is an effect of deriving a jackpot symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as a finalized stop decoration). In this embodiment, the re-variation effect causes each symbol row constituting the temporary symbol to fluctuate again, fluctuates in a state where all the rows are aligned with the same symbol (a state of a glance), and a fixed stop decoration is displayed by stopping the variation. It is performed in the manner of deriving. In the re-variation effect, the same jackpot symbol combination as before the change or the jackpot symbol combination indicating that the profit is larger than before the variation is derived.

  When the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P2, P4, P5, P9, and P10, the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is displayed on the special symbol display H1, and the variable suggestion suggestion symbol is displayed on the variable indicator H2. The combination is finally displayed. For example, when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is determined and the symbol variation game is played based on the variation pattern P2, the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation by the decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2, and at the same time A big hit symbol by a special figure is displayed on the display H1. Further, for example, when a small hit game is determined and a symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9, the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation by the decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2, and at the same time, the special symbol display In H1, a small hit symbol according to a special figure is displayed.

  In addition, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P11 and P12 for the outlier reach effect, the symbol combination of the out symbol and the outlier (outlier reach) is finally obtained in the special symbol display device H1 and the variable display device H2. Is displayed. For example, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P11 for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed by the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers by the decorative drawing is displayed and at the same time On the display device H1, an off symbol according to a special figure is displayed.

  Then, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P13 to P17 for the offending effect, the special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2 finally have a symbol combination and a symbol combination of disparity after the normal variation. It is displayed. For example, if a symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P13 for the offending effect, the normal variation is performed after the symbol variation game is started, and the variable symbol combination by the decorative display is displayed on the variable display H2. In the figure display H1, the off symbol by the special figure is displayed.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P8 for the big hit effect, one of the four types of reach effects R1, R2, R3, R4 is performed. In addition, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P12 for the outlier reach effect, one of the three types of reach effects R1, R2, and R3 is performed.

  For example, in the reach production R1, after the reach symbol combination by the decoration drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed, the specific character K1 appears and the remaining one row (in this embodiment, the middle row) is changed to derive the decoration drawing. Reach production (also called “XX reach” by the name of the appearing character) is performed with the production content to be performed. The same applies to the reach effects R2 to R4. When the reach effect R2 is executed, the specific character K2 appears. When the reach effect R3 is executed, the specific character K3 appears. When the reach effect R4 is executed, the specific character K4 is displayed. It has come to appear. Further, the reach times of reach effects R1, R2, R3, and R4 are set to be the same.

  And in this embodiment, the ratio (big hit reliability or big hit expectation degree) to which the big hit game is given is varied according to the types of reach effects R1, R2, R3, R4. More specifically, in the order of reach production R1 <reach production R2 <reach production R3 <reach production R4, the ratio of winning big hit games is set higher. This indicates that the degree of expectation (possibility) that the big hit game is given increases in the order of reach effect R1 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R3 <reach effect R4.

  The ratio at which the jackpot game is awarded is determined by how often each reach effect R1, R2, R3, R4 is executed during the jackpot effect and how often it is executed during the outlier reach effect. In other words, in order to increase the percentage that the hit effect of the reach effect is given, the reach in the case of the big hit is compared to the ratio of the reach effect (the overall ratio that appears in the case of the reach out of the big hit). What is necessary is just to make it raise (or perform any one) the ratio in which the said reach production appears in the case of an outreach reach while raising the ratio in which the production appears. In this way, by changing the ratio of winning jackpot games, the reach symbol combination is displayed, and when a reach effect is performed, the player's expectation for the jackpot according to the type of reach effect The feeling can be changed. In the present embodiment, the reach effect R4 is executed only when the symbol change game based on the change pattern P8 is executed, and the big hit game is given when the reach effect R4 appears. I can recognize that.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (all 1223 integers from 0 to 1222) that the random number for winning determination can take. Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (four in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not a small hit is made, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by random numbers for hit determination (total of 1223 integers from 0 to 1222). Note that the number of small hit determination values when the symbol variation game is played is set to 5) in the present embodiment. In addition, the random number for hit determination uses the random number used in the jackpot determination as it is. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special figure is assigned a predetermined number (one in the present embodiment) of random numbers for special figure distribution, and the main CPU 30a obtains the big hit when it is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the random number for special figure distribution. This special figure distribution random number is set to a predetermined cycle so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers of “0” to “99”). Each time (every 2 ms), the numerical value is incremented by one and updated. Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated value in the RAM 30c as the value of the special figure distribution random number, and rewrites the value of the special figure distribution random number that has already been stored. Are updated sequentially. In the present embodiment, the random number for special figure distribution is acquired when the game ball wins the start winning opening 22.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the winning process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not winning of a game ball is detected at predetermined time intervals (step S11). That is, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output from the start winning device constituted by the start winning port 22 and the start port sensor SW1 is input. When the determination result is negative (when no winning is detected), the main CPU 30a ends the winning process. On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (when winning detection is present), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of reserved storage stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit (4 in the present embodiment) (step). S12). If this determination result is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the winning process.

  On the other hand, if this determination result is affirmative (if the number of stored storages <4), the main CPU 30a adds (+1) to the stored storage number stored in the RAM 30c (+1), and rewrites the stored storage number (step S13). ). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and obtains the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and corresponds the read hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number to the number of reserved memories. A predetermined storage area of the attached RAM 30c is set (step S14). The hit determination random number and the special figure allocation random number are random numbers that are sequentially updated by the main CPU 30a at predetermined intervals, and the main CPU 30a sets the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 30c before the update. The value of is rewritten. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the winning process.

Next, the variation pattern determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbols (special illustrations and decorations) are in a variable display, whether or not a small hit game is being played, and whether or not a big hit game (special game) is being performed (step S21). ). When the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (when the symbol variation game, the small hit game or the big hit game is being performed), the main CPU 30a ends the variation pattern determination process. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S21 is negative (when the symbol variation game is not being played, the small hit game is not being played, and the big hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a determines that the number of reserved memories is less than “0” at a predetermined time interval. It is determined whether it is larger (step S22). If the determination result of step S22 is negative (when the number of stored memories = 0), there is no pending symbol variation game, so the main CPU 30a ends the variation pattern determination process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S22 is affirmative (if the number of stored storages> 0), the main CPU 30a matches the random number for hit determination and the special figure distribution stored in the RAM 30c in association with the number of stored storages. Read the random number value. Then, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery) (step S23). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1223. When the probability change state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 40/1223. Further, after subtracting “1” (−1) from the reserved storage number, the main CPU 30a obtains the value of the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number stored in association with the reserved storage number. It is like that.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a determines the special hit display symbol H1 from the special hit distribution symbols based on the special figure based on the special figure distribution random number value read from the RAM 30c. A final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed is determined (step S24).

  In addition, the big hit symbol of the special figure displayed on the special figure display H1 is classified into any of the symbols A to F. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the jackpot symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “31” is classified into special figure A, and the special figure distribution random number “32”. The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to "63" is classified as special figure B, and the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers "64" to "72" is classified as special figure C. Is done. The special jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “73” to “74” is classified as special figure D, and the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “75” to “81”. The jackpot symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “82” to “99” is classified as the special figure F.

  Thereby, in step S24, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as symbol A as a big hit symbol with a probability of 32/100. Similarly, in step S24, the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 32/100, determines the symbol classified as symbol C with a probability of 9/100, and is classified as symbol D. Is determined with a probability of 2/100. Similarly, in step S24, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol E with a probability of 7/100, and determines a symbol classified as the symbol F with a probability of 18/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern distribution table for winning effects according to the gaming state at the time of winning (step S25). In the present embodiment, the variation pattern distribution table T1 for winning effects selected when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the winning effects selected when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. A variation pattern sorting table T2 is provided. As shown in FIG. 9A, the variation pattern distribution table T1 for winning effects is composed of variation patterns P1 to P7, and each variation pattern is distributed with one or more random numbers for variation pattern distribution. ing. The fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers are set by the main CPU 30a at predetermined intervals so that numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 251 integers from “0” to “250”) can be obtained. It is updated by incrementing by 1 (every 2 ms). This variation pattern distribution random number is stored in the RAM 30c.

  Note that the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution have been changed according to the determined final stop symbol. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol B, 70 variation pattern distribution random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern P1, and the variation 181 random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are distributed to the pattern P3. Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol D, 224 variation pattern distribution random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern P2. 27 variation pattern distribution random numbers are distributed to the variation pattern P4.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 9B, the variation pattern distribution table T2 for winning effects is composed of variation patterns P8 to P10, and each variation pattern has a variation pattern distribution random number of 1 or There are multiple distributions. The variation pattern distribution random numbers are changed in accordance with the determined final stop symbol in the same manner as the variation pattern distribution table T1. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol D, 251 (all) random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are distributed to the variation pattern P10. Yes.

  After the process of step S25, the main CPU 30a acquires a random number for variation pattern distribution from the RAM 30c. Then, the main CPU 30a refers to the winning effect variation pattern sorting table selected in step S25, and determines a winning effect variation pattern based on the determined final stop symbol and the obtained variation pattern distribution random number (step S25). S26).

  For example, the main CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern distribution table T1 and refers to the variation pattern distribution random number when the determined final stop symbol is classified as the symbol B when the entrance rate improvement state is given. Based on the above, the variation pattern P1 is determined with a probability of 70/251, and the variation pattern P3 is determined with a probability of 181/251. In addition, for example, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P2 with the probability of 224/251 when the determined final stop symbol is classified as the symbol D when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the variation The pattern P4 is determined with a probability of 27/251. Further, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P10 when the determined final stop symbol is classified as the symbol D when the entrance rate improvement state is not given.

  After that, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S27). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command (effect pattern designation command) that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. After that, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the special-figure display H1 so that the determined final stop symbol is displayed based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the variation pattern determination process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S23 is negative (not a big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made to determine a small hit (lottery lottery) (step S28). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is constant regardless of the gaming state, and the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 5/1223.

  When the determination result in step S28 is affirmative (in the case of a small hit), the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and displayed on the special symbol display H1 from the small symbol (symbol G) by the special symbol. (Step S29). After that, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P5 as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game when the entrance rate improvement state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P9 as the variation pattern for winning effect corresponding to the small hit game when the entrance rate improvement state is not given (step S30).

  The main CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, proceeds to the process of step S27, and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes relating to the game are executed, and the variation pattern determination process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of H1. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S28 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to perform a reach effect (step S31).

  In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (reach probability) changes depending on the gaming state and the number of reserved memories. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are not given, and the number of reserved memories is 2 or less before the start of the variation pattern determination process Has a reach probability of 34/241. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are not given and the number of reserved memories is 3 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 20/241. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are not given and the number of reserved memories is 4 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 6/241.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the probability variation state is given, the number of reserved memories is 2 or less before the start of the variation pattern determination process. In this case, the reach probability is set to 42/241. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the probability variation state is given, when the number of reserved memories is 3 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 27/241. Yes. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the probability variation state is given, when the number of reserved memories is 4 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 12/241. Yes.

  Therefore, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and the number of reserved memories is large (when there are many symbol variation games on hold), the probability that a reach effect that causes the symbol variation game to be missed is executed. And the reliability of hitting the reach is relatively high. Also, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, if the reserved memory number is large, the reach effect is difficult to be executed, the effect time of the symbol variation game is shortened, and the reserved memory number can be quickly digested. Increases nature.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the entrance rate improvement state is given and the probability variation state is not given, the reach probability is set to 4/241 regardless of the number of reserved memories. . Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are given, the reach probability is 1/241 regardless of the number of reserved memories. Accordingly, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the reach effect that is out of order is executed becomes lower when the probability variation state is given. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are given, the jackpot reliability of the reach effect is increased.

  When the determination result of the reach determination in step S32 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines a special figure indicating a loss as a final stop symbol (step S32). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P11 as the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the variation pattern. P12 is determined (step S33).

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S27, and executes various processes related to the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above. Then, the variation pattern determination process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of H1. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination in step S31 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines a special figure indicating the detachment as the final stop symbol (step S34). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P13 to P17 for the offending effect (step S35). In this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and the number of reserved memories is 2 or less before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a performs the variation whose effect time is 12336ms. A pattern P13 (first variation effect variation pattern) is determined. Similarly, in this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the number of reserved memories is 3 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a has an effect time of 7000 ms. A certain variation pattern P14 (second variation pattern variation pattern) is determined. Similarly, in this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the number of reserved memories is 4 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a has an effect time of 3000 ms. A certain fluctuation pattern P15 (second fluctuation pattern for fluctuation effect) is determined.

  That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and the number of reserved memories is 2 or less, the variation pattern P13 having the longest production time among the variation patterns for the off-direction production that is most easily selected is based on the fluctuation pattern P13. The symbol variation game is executed, and it takes time for the game ball to win the start winning opening 22 so that the number of reserved memories is not lost. Thereby, the symbol variation game can be continuously executed, and the player can be prevented from getting bored. On the other hand, when the winning rate improvement state is not given and the reserved memory number is 4 (upper limit), the game ball may win the start winning opening 22 and the winning may be wasted. In order to avoid this, the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P15 having the shortest production time is executed.

  Further, in this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a changes the variation pattern P16 (the variation pattern for the third deviation effect) with an effect time of 7500 ms, regardless of the number of reserved memories, or Any one of the variation patterns P17 (the fourth variation variation pattern) having an effect time of 3500 ms is determined by random number lottery.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S27, and executes various processes related to the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above. Then, the variation pattern determination process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of H1. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the jackpot, after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main CPU 30a starts control of the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol, and the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a). ), A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a are 15R probability variable big hit game, 7R probability variable big hit game, first 2R probability variable big hit game, second 2R probability variable big hit game, third 2R probability variable big hit game, and 2R non-probable big hit game. Each jackpot game will be explained.

  First, control when a 15R probability variable big hit game and a 7R probability variable big hit game are given will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (6 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big winning opening door 24 of the big winning opening 23 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third round to the fifteenth round (the seventh round in the case of the 7R probability variable big hit game). Then, when the round game of the final round ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the final release interval time (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (14.5 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when 15R probability variation big hit game and 7R probability variation big hit game are awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted, and also gives the improved entrance rate state. “1” is set in the operation flag indicating that the operation is to be performed. When the probability variation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not assigned. . Further, when “1” is set in the probability change flag, the probability change state is given until the next big hit game. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Each flag is cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded.

  The main CPU 30a sets “1” in the operation flag when the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded, and the number of times of operation indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the improved entrance rate is given. Set to 10,000 times (no limit). This operation count is decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set). By setting the number of actuations to 10,000 times, the entry rate improvement state is substantially given until the next big hit.

Next, the control when the first 2R probability variable big hit game to the third 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game are given will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 0.3 seconds). . The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 24 is opened (first opening), and if the round game time (0.3 seconds) has elapsed, the main round of the first round game is played. To end, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round to start the second round game, and measures the round game time (max 0.3 seconds). Start. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 24 is opened (second opening), and if the round game time (0.3 seconds) has elapsed, the main game 30a plays the second round game. To end, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the final open interval time (1.996 seconds) has elapsed since the end of the second round game. Further, when the round game of the second round is completed, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the ending time according to the type of jackpot game and the game state after the final opening interval time (1.996 seconds) has elapsed. The main CPU 30a receives the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, or the 2R non-probable big hit game, and does not give the improved entrance rate after the big hit game ends. Ends the jackpot game after 1.4 seconds. On the other hand, when the main CPU 30a is given the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the third 2R probability variation big hit game, or the 2R non-probability big hit game, and gives the improved entrance rate after the big hit game ends, or When the second 2R probability variation jackpot game is awarded, the jackpot game is terminated after 7 seconds.

  At that time, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag to “1” when the first 2R probability variable big hit game to the third 2R probability variable big hit game is granted, while the 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded. Set the probability variation flag to “0”.

  In addition, the main CPU 30a is provided with the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, or the 2R non-probable big hit game, and has not been given the improved entrance rate when the big hit is won. In this case, the operation flag is set to “0”.

  Further, when the first 2R probability variable big hit game and 2R non-probable big hit game are awarded, and the winning rate improvement state is given when the big hit is won, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the operation flag. ”And 50 times as the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the improved entrance rate is given. This operation count is decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set). Note that the number of operations is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. The number of operations is also cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded.

  Then, the main CPU 30a is provided with a third 2R probability variation big hit game, and when the winning rate winning state is given at the time of winning the big hit, or when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded, Set the operation flag to “1”. At this time, the main CPU 30a sets 10,000 times as the number of operations. By setting the number of actuations to 10,000 times, the entry rate improvement state is substantially given until the next big hit.

  In addition, when the main CPU 30a determines the small hit, after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game, and gives a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a). Is output at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round to start the first round game and starts measuring the round game time (max 2.6 seconds). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize opening door 24 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 24. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after opening the first prize opening door 24 (first opening), and when the opening time (0.3 seconds) elapses, the first big prize opening door 24. A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 24 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 24. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as opening of the second big prize opening door 24. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 24 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time (0.3 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big prize winning opening. To close the door 24, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after elapse of the final opening interval time (0.012 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time. After the ending time elapses (after 3.388 seconds have elapsed if the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the small hit game, and after 8.898 seconds have elapsed if the entrance rate improvement state has been assigned), the main CPU 30a Ends the small hit game. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value).

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished, the first 2R positive variable big hit game, the third 2R positive variable big hit game, In the 2R non-probability big hit game and the small hit game, the open mode of the big winning opening door 24 is the same mode. From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the end of the big hit game, even if the open state of the big winning door 24 is visually confirmed, It is not possible to distinguish between the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probable big hit game, and the small hit game. If the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probable big hit game or the small hit game is won when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the variation pattern P9 is used. A symbol variation game is executed. From the above, if the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, 2R non-probable big hit game or small hit game is won when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, It is not possible to determine which winning game has been executed based on the contents of the game and the open state of the special winning opening door 24. Therefore, in such a state, the player can be expected that the probability variation state may be given, and the game can be continued.

  In addition, by executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, when the ball entering rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished, the first 2R probability change big hit game to the third 2R probability change. In the big hit game, the 2R non-probability big hit game, and the small hit game, the open mode of the big winning door 24 is the same mode. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is given and the first 2R probability variation big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game is awarded, the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 is executed. From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the first 2R probability variation big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game is given, the fluctuation When the symbol variation game based on the pattern P5 is executed, it is not possible to determine which winning game has been executed from the contents of the symbol variation game, the open state of the special winning opening door 24, and the like. For this reason, in such a state, it is possible to make the player expect that the probability variation state may be given, and the game can be continued.

  As described above, the main CPU 30a of the present embodiment serves as a big hit determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. The main CPU 30a serves as random number acquisition means for acquiring a hit determination random number. The main CPU 30a serves as reach determination means for determining whether or not to execute reach production. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to assign a probability change state. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as an entrance rate improvement state giving means for determining whether or not to give an entrance rate improvement state. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a variation pattern determination unit that determines a variation pattern. The main CPU 30a serves as a jackpot game determination means for determining the game content of the jackpot game. The main CPU 30a serves as a jackpot game granting means for granting a jackpot game. Further, the RAM 30c serves as a storage unit for storing a storage number.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a executes processing according to the control command or outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing. More specifically, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34.

  Further, when the central CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, based on the designated final stop symbol and variation pattern, the symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as a decorative symbol) that finally displays the variable display on the variable display H2 is confirmed and stopped. , Shown as a fixed stop decoration drawing).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the ROM 31 b stores a fixed stop decoration diagram that may be determined for each variation pattern for winning effects in association with each other. Then, one or more random numbers for decorating drawing determination are assigned to each of the associated fixed stop decorative drawings. The decoration drawing determination random number is determined by the overall CPU 31a at predetermined intervals so that numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 251 integers from “0” to “250”) can be obtained. 1 is added every 2 ms) and updated. This random number for decoration drawing determination is stored in the RAM 31c. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the fixed stop decorations associated with the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8 for winning effects are assigned with random numbers for determining decorations according to the final stop pattern. It has become different.

  For example, when the variation pattern P1 is designated and the special figure A is designated as the final stop symbol, the general CPU 31a determines [111] as a fixed stop decoration with a probability of 3/251. [222] is determined with a probability of 3/251, [333] is determined with a probability of 18/251, and [444] is determined with a probability of 3/251. When the variation pattern P1 is designated and the special figure A is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [555] as a fixed stop decoration with a probability of 18/251, and [666] ] Is determined with a probability of 3/251, [777] is determined with a probability of 197/251, [888] is determined with a probability of 3/251, and [999] is determined with a probability of 3/251.

  When the variation patterns P3 and P8 are designated, and the special figure A is designated as the final stop symbol, the general CPU 31a sets [111] as a probability of 12/251 as the final stop symbol. [222] is determined with a probability of 12/251, [333] is determined with a probability of 27/251, and [444] is determined with a probability of 12/251. When the variation patterns P3 and P8 are designated and the special figure A is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [555] as a fixed stop decoration with a probability of 27/251, [666] is determined with a probability of 12/251, [777] is determined with a probability of 125/251, [888] is determined with a probability of 12/251, and [999] is determined with a probability of 12/251. To do.

  On the other hand, when the variation patterns P1, P3, and P8 are designated, and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a sets [111] as 25/251 as the finalized stop decoration. [222] is determined with a probability of 37/251, [333] is determined with a probability of 25/251, and [444] is determined with a probability of 38/251. When the variation patterns P1, P3, and P8 are designated and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a sets [555] as 25/251 as the final stop decoration diagram. [666] is determined with a probability of 38/251, [888] is determined with a probability of 38/251, and [999] is determined with a probability of 25/251. When the variation patterns P1, P3, and P8 are determined and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, as shown in FIG. As a figure, [777] is not determined.

  When the variation patterns P6 and P7 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [777] as the fixed stop decoration drawing. When the variation patterns P6 and P7 are designated, the special figure B is not designated as the final stop symbol (see FIG. 9A).

  When the variation patterns P2, P9, and P10 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [191] with a probability of 28/251 and [212] with a probability of 35/251 as a fixed stop decoration. , [323] is determined with a probability of 22/251, and [434] is determined with a probability of 35/251. When the variation patterns P2, P9, and P10 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [545] with a probability of 22/251 and [656] with a probability of 35/251 as a fixed stop decoration. , [767] is determined with a probability of 11/251, [878] is determined with a probability of 35/251, and [989] is determined with a probability of 28/251.

  When the variation pattern P4 is specified, the overall CPU 31a determines [191] with a probability of 29/251, [212] with a probability of 37/251, and [323] as a fixed stop decoration. Is determined with a probability of 22/251 and [434] is determined with a probability of 37/251. When the variation pattern P4 is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [545] with a probability of 22/251, [656] with a probability of 37/251, and [878] as a fixed stop decoration. Is determined with a probability of 37/251 and [989] is determined with a probability of 30/251. That is, when the variation pattern P4 is designated, the overall CPU 31a does not determine [767] as the fixed stop decoration diagram, and does not display the reach symbol combination [7 ↓ 7] during the symbol variation game. ing.

  When the variation pattern P5 is specified, the overall CPU 31a determines [191] with a probability of 32/251, [212] with a probability of 41/251, and [434] Is determined with a probability of 53/251. When the variation pattern P5 is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [656] with a probability of 52/251, [878] with a probability of 41/251, and [989] as a fixed stop decoration. Is determined with a probability of 32/251. That is, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the general CPU 31a does not determine [323] [545] [767] as the fixed stop decoration diagram, and the reach symbol combination [3 ↓ 3] during the symbol variation game. ] [5 ↓ 5] [7 ↓ 7] are not displayed.

  Further, when the final stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is a loss symbol and the variation pattern P11 for the loss reach effect is designated, the general CPU 31a displays the loss reach as the final stop decoration symbol. Determine the symbol combination. At that time, the overall CPU 31a does not determine “7” as a decorative drawing constituting the symbol combination of outlier reach (that is, the symbol combination of [7 ↓ 7] is not displayed). In addition, when the final stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is a loss symbol and the variation pattern P12 for the loss reach effect is designated, the general CPU 31a determines the loss reach as the final stop decoration symbol. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the final stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is an outlier symbol and the variation patterns P13 to P16 for the offending effect are designated, the overall CPU 31a misses as the final stop ornament symbol. Determine the symbol combination.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs to the display control board 32 a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design (definite stop decorative design) for each column. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

  The effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P6, P7, and P8 include a re-lottery effect (revariation effect). For this reason, when the variation patterns P6, P7, and P8 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines a temporary symbol based on the determined fixed stop decoration to execute the re-lottery effect. This will be described in detail below.

  When determining the jackpot symbol combination [777] based on the decoration “7” as the fixed stop decoration (when it is the special figure A), the general CPU 31a determines one type of decoration from all the decorations. Then, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the determined decoration is used as a temporary symbol. On the other hand, when the overall CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol combination other than the decoration “7” as the fixed stop decoration, the overall CPU 31a sets the same symbol combination as the fixed stop decoration as a temporary pattern. Then, the overall CPU 31 a outputs a temporary symbol designation command for designating a temporary symbol designation command for designating the determined temporary symbol to the display control board 32.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern P8 or the fluctuation pattern P12 is input, the overall CPU 31a determines an effect execution pattern that specifies the effect contents of the reach effect. Specifically, when the central CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern P8 for the jackpot effect, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern by random lottery from the effect execution patterns of the reach effects R1 to R4. When the variation pattern P1 for the jackpot effect is input, the reach effect R3 is determined in the order of reach effect R4 <reach effect R1 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R3. Probability is highest. When the overall CPU 31a determines the effect execution patterns of the reach effects R1 to R4, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating an effect execution pattern for designating the reach effect (effect contents) to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

  Similarly, when the fluctuation pattern P12 for the outlier reach effect is input, the overall CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern by random lottery from the effect execution patterns of the reach effects R1 to R3. It should be noted that at the time of inputting the fluctuation pattern P12 for the outlier reach effect, the reach effect R1 is determined in the order of reach effect R3 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R1. Probability is highest. When determining the reach effects R1 to R3, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating an effect execution pattern for designating the reach effect (effect contents) to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

  As described above, the determination probabilities of the reach effects R1 to R4 are different between the big hit effect and the outlier reach effect. For this reason, the jackpot reliability is high in the order of reach effect R1 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R3 <reach effect R4. The reach effect R4 is selected only at the time of the big hit effect, and is therefore a big hit finalizing effect (an effect with a big hit reliability of 100%). Also, by setting the reach times of reach effects R1 to R4 to the same time, any reach effect R1 to R4 can be selected, and there is not enough time to perform reach effects R1 to R4, or the design changes There is no time left until the game ends.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of production modes are set by the overall CPU 31a. Referring to FIG. 12, the general CPU 31a executes a symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 to P4, P6 to P8, and P10, and the 15R probability variable big hit game, the 7R probability variable big hit game, or the first to third 2R. When a big hit game is awarded, a probability change effect mode indicating that a probability change state is given is set. In addition, when the probability variation effect mode is set, the general CPU 31a executes the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 and is given the first 2R big hit game state, 2R non-probability big hit game or small hit game. In this case, the probability variation concealment mode that suggests the possibility of the probability variation state being set is set until the end of the entrance rate improvement state or the probability variation effect mode is newly set after the end of the winning game. In addition, when the probability variation concealment mode is set, the overall CPU 31a sets the normal mode when giving the entrance rate improvement state is completed. The overall CPU 31a executes the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P9, and when the first 2R big hit game, the third 2R big hit game, the 2R non-probable big hit game or the small hit game is given, the hit game ends. Thereafter, the normal-time probability variation concealment mode is set until the predetermined number of symbol variation games are completed or until the probability variation effect mode is newly set.

  In this embodiment, when the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode is set, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the predetermined variation patterns P1 to P7, P11, the reach effect that is executed during the normal mode. A confrontation reach effect different from R1 to R4 is executed.

  This confrontation reach effect is an effect in which a specific character K1 to K4 is displayed as a player's ally character and confronts the enemy character K0 after the reach symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed during the symbol variation game. When the characters K1 to K4 defeat the enemy character K0, the big win symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, and the 7R probability variable big hit game state or the 15R probability variable game state is given. On the other hand, in the case of a draw, the symbol combination indicating the probability variation is confirmed and stopped so that the probability variation state continues but the 7R probability variation big hit gaming state or the 15R probability variation gaming state is not given (the payout of the winning ball cannot be expected). It has become. In addition, when losing to the enemy character K0, the big hit symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, and the probability variation concealment mode is set (that is, the probability variation state may have ended). The contents of the effect of the confrontation reach effect are determined in advance based on the variation pattern.

  Specific contents of the confrontation reach effect will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 13, the contents and results of the confrontation reach production are shown. When the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11 is started in the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, first, the ally character determined from the characters K1 to K4 by the overall CPU 31a is displayed. At the same time, the enemy character K0 is displayed.

  Next, based on the designated variation pattern, a crisis effect indicating that there is a possibility that a probability change confirmation effect or a probability change concealment mode indicating that the probability change effect mode is provided is executed. Specifically, when the certainty change confirmation effect is executed, the displayed friendly character attacks the enemy character K0, while the enemy character K0 defends against the attack, thereby giving the certainty effect mode. (That is, the probability variation state is given). In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation patterns P1, P2, and P6, the probability variation finalizing effect is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the crisis effect is executed, the displayed friendly character attacks the enemy character K0, while the enemy character K0 also fights back against the friendly character, so that the probability variation concealment mode is set. It indicates that there is a possibility of being granted (that is, there is a possibility that a normal state is given). In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation patterns P3, P4, P5, P7, and P11, the crisis effect is executed.

  When the probability change finalization effect or the crisis effect ends, the first effect indicating whether or not the 15R probability change big hit game or 7R big hit game is given, or the second effect showing whether or not the probability change effect mode is given is executed. The

  More specifically, the first effect is executed after the probability variation finalizing effect is executed. When the first effect is executed based on the variation patterns P1 and P6, the teammate character succeeds in the attack, the enemy character K0 falls and wins, and either the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded. It is supposed to be shown. On the other hand, when the first effect is executed based on the variation pattern P2, the attack of the teammate character fails, the enemy character K0 is drawn without falling, and the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is not given. It is like that.

  Further, when the crisis effect is executed, the first effect or the second effect is then executed according to the designated variation pattern. Specifically, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P3, the first effect is executed, the attack of the teammate character is successful, the enemy character K0 falls and wins, and the 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R One of the probable big hit games is given. On the other hand, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P4, the second effect is performed, and the teammate character defends and draws the counterattack of the enemy character K0, and the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game. Is not provided, but indicates that the probability variation effect mode is provided.

  Further, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P5, the second effect is executed, and the enemy character K0 is defeated without being able to defend against the enemy character K0, and the 15R probability variation big hit game or Along with the fact that the 7R probability variation big hit game is not granted, the probability variation effect mode is not given. In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P11, the second effect is executed, and the teammate character defends against the enemy character K0 and strikes, and the currently set effect mode is continued. It is supposed to show that.

  In this way, when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed, the player is made aware that the probability variation concealment mode is not set and is given a sense of security, and either the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is given. It can be noted whether or not. On the other hand, when the crisis effect is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that there is a possibility that the probability variation concealment mode is set, to give anxiety, and to improve the interest of the game. Even when a crisis effect is executed, the first effect is executed, and either a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game may be given, which gives the player a sense of expectation. Can do.

  Next, the determination of a teammate character appearing in the confrontation reach production will be described. When the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11 including the confrontation reach effect in the effect content are designated, the general CPU 31a determines a teammate character to appear in the confrontation reach effect from the characters K1 to K4. The specified control command is output. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, characters K1 to K4 that appear in the confrontation reach effect are associated with the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11, and character fluctuations are associated with the characters K1 to K4. One or more distribution random numbers are assigned. The general CPU 31a acquires a character distribution random number when determining a teammate character, and determines a teammate character based on the acquired character distribution random number. The character allocation random number is determined by the overall CPU 31a at predetermined intervals so that numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers from “0” to “99”) can be obtained. It is updated by incrementing by 1 (every 2 ms). This character distribution random number is stored in the RAM 31c.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, when the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, and P7 are designated (when 15R probability variable big hit game or 7R probability variable big hit game is given), the general CPU 31a determines that the character K4 <character The random numbers for character distribution are distributed so as to be easily determined in the order of K1 <character K2 <character K3. Further, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the character distribution random numbers are distributed so that the overall CPU 31a can easily determine in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3. When the variation pattern P5 is designated, the character distribution random numbers are not distributed so that the character K4 is not determined.

  When the variation patterns P2, P4, and P11 are designated, the character distribution random numbers are distributed so that the overall CPU 31a can easily determine the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1. When the variation patterns P2, P4, and P11 are designated, the character distribution random numbers are not distributed so that the character K4 is not determined. For this reason, when the character K4 appears as a teammate character, it can be recognized that either 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  As described above, when the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, and P7 are designated, it is easy to determine the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3, while the variation patterns P2 and P4 are designated. In this case, the overall CPU 31a can easily determine the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1. Therefore, the degree of expectation that the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is given in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3 is high. On the other hand, the confrontation reach effect is a draw in the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1, and the expectation level that the probability variation effect mode is granted although the 15R probability variation hit game or the 7R probability variation hit game is low. Is big.

  Further, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, it is easy to determine in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3. For this reason, in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3, the probability variation effect mode ends and the probability variation concealment mode is easily set. Conversely, in the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1, the probability variation effect mode is difficult to end, and the probability variation concealment mode is difficult to set.

  Therefore, if the character K3 is displayed when the probability variation confirmed effect is executed, the player can win the result of the first effect and receive a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game. Can be recognized. On the other hand, if the character K1 is displayed when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed, the player may not be awarded the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game if the result of the first effect is a draw. Can be recognized.

  In particular, when the crisis effect is executed when the character K3 is displayed, the player is highly likely to receive the 15R probability variation big hit game or the like as a result of the first effect being won. On the other hand, it can be recognized that there is a high possibility that the result of the second effect is defeated and the probability variation effect mode is not given (it can be recognized that there is little possibility of a draw). In this case, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation and anxiety at the same time and improve the interest of the game. In addition, when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed while the character K3 is displayed, the player may be given a 15R probability variable big hit game or the like as a result of the first effect winning. You can recognize that it is expensive.

  When the crisis effect is executed when the character K1 is displayed, the player is unlikely to win the result of the first effect, but the result of the second effect is defeated. Recognizing that the possibility is low, it is possible to recognize that there is a high possibility that the probability variation effect mode is provided. In this case, a sense of security can be given to the player. On the other hand, when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed when the character K1 is displayed, the player recognizes that the result of the first effect is unlikely to be a victory, Will be even more joyful.

  The overall CPU 31a stores in the RAM 31c the types of ally characters for a predetermined number of times in the past (two times in the present embodiment). Then, the general CPU 31a determines the ally character when the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is not given and the determined ally character is the same for a predetermined number of times (three times in the present embodiment). This is done again to determine other characters. That is, the same characters K1 to K4 are not continuously determined a predetermined number of times (three times in the present embodiment) as teammate characters, except when a 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game is awarded. For this reason, when the same type of character appears as a teammate three or more times consecutively, the player can recognize that a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded.

  In this embodiment, the variable display H2 (notification means) is made to execute a notice effect that suggests the possibility that the reach effect is executed in the symbol variation game, and the general CPU 31a executes the notice effect. Whether or not and the contents of the effect are determined based on the variation pattern. In the notice effect, a specific teammate character KY is displayed over a time longer than 3500 ms immediately after the start of the symbol variation game, and a conversation is started (a character string is displayed). Then, when the reach effect is executed, the enemy character K0 is displayed to respond to the conversation (at least to display a character string) before at least the reach symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed. ing. For example, when a specific teammate character KY is displayed with a character string “game” and then an enemy character K0 is displayed with a character string “I will not lose”, a reach effect is executed. By suggesting the feasibility of the reach effect linked to the jackpot in this way, it is suggested that the symbol variation game may be a jackpot in the notice effect.

  Specifically, the overall CPU 31a, when the entrance rate improvement state is given (when the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode is set), the variation patterns P1 to P7 for the hit effect, for the outlier reach effect When the fluctuation pattern P11 or the fluctuation pattern P16 for the off-stage effect is determined, it is determined whether or not the notice effect is to be executed. The overall CPU 31a of the present embodiment always ensures that the variation pattern P1 to P7 for winning effect or the variation pattern P11 for outlier reach effect is determined (that is, when the reach symbol combination is temporarily displayed). The notice effect is executed. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined, the overall CPU 31a executes the notice effect with a predetermined probability.

  In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a displays the variation pattern P16 for the off-stage effect before the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) after the entrance rate improvement state is given. If determined, the notice effect is executed at 20%. On the other hand, the overall CPU 31a, when the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined after the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times in the present embodiment) or more after the entry rate improvement state is given. In this case, the notice effect is executed at 30%.

  In addition, when the previous symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P16 for outlier effect and the notice effect is performed, the overall CPU 31a determines that the variation pattern P16 for outlier effect is determined. However, the execution of the notice effect is not decided. That is, the notice effect is not continuously executed in the symbol variation game in which the reach effect is not executed.

  Then, when the overall CPU 31a determines execution of the notice effect, next, the contents of the effect of the notice effect are determined. Specifically, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to make the enemy character K0 appear based on the variation pattern. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a determines that the enemy character K0 appears when the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11 are determined, while the enemy character K0 when the variation pattern P16 is determined. Decide not to appear.

  At the same time, the overall CPU 31a refers to the conversation table and determines the dialogue of the character to appear. As shown in FIG. 15, in the conversation table, a plurality of types of dialogues are associated with each character, and one or more dialogue selection random numbers are assigned to each dialogue. The dialog selection random number is set by the overall CPU 31a at predetermined intervals (in this embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) in a predetermined numerical range (every 100 integers in this embodiment). 1 is added every 2 ms) and updated. This line selection random number is stored in the RAM 31c. The distribution of line selection random numbers is different for each variation pattern. Therefore, it is possible to predict whether or not a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game is given depending on the type of conversation.

  The overall CPU 31a does not determine the line of the enemy character K0 because the enemy character K0 does not appear when the variation pattern P16 is determined (see FIG. 15B). When the general CPU 31a determines the contents of the effect of the notice effect (determines whether or not the enemy character K1 appears and the line of the character to appear), the general CPU 31a designates the contents of the effect and instructs the execution of the notice effect. Is output.

  Then, when the opening CPU is input, the overall CPU 31a outputs an opening effect command for specifying the specific effect contents of the opening effect to the control boards 32 to 34 in accordance with the designated variation pattern. Similarly, when the general CPU 31a inputs a round command, the general CPU 31a outputs the round command to the control boards 32-34. In addition, when the ending command is input, the general CPU 31a outputs an ending effect command for specifying the specific effect contents of the ending effect to each of the control boards 32 to 34 according to the gaming state at the time of winning and the specified variation pattern. To do.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described. When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. For example, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decoration symbols are variably displayed with the variation patterns P1 to P17 designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol variation game. Control the content.

  In addition, when the variation patterns P1 to P5 and P11 are designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the fixed stop ornament designated by the inputted ornament design designation command, and is determined by the overall CPU 31a. The display contents of the variable display H2 are controlled so that the teammate character is displayed and the confrontation reach effect is executed.

  Similarly, when the variation patterns P6 to P7 are designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the temporary symbol designated by the inputted temporary symbol designation command, and displays the ally character determined by the overall CPU 31a. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled to display and execute the confrontation reach effect.

  Further, when the variation pattern P8 is designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the provisional symbol designated by the inputted temporary symbol designation command, and inputs the designated variation pattern P8 and the general CPU 31a. Based on the effect execution pattern, the display contents of the variable display H2 are controlled so as to execute the reach effects R1 to R4.

  Further, when the variation pattern P12 is designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the fixed stop ornament design designated by the inputted ornament design designation command, and the designated variation pattern P12 and the overall CPU 31a. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to execute the reach effects R1 to R3 based on the effect execution pattern input from.

  In addition, when the variation patterns P6 to P8 are designated, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the temporary symbols designated by the temporary symbol designation command, and then executes the re-variation effect, and then inputs all symbol stop commands. Control is performed so as to display the fixed stop decoration drawing.

  When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbols stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the fixed stop decoration designated by the inputted ornament design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By these controls, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the notice designation command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the notice effect. Moreover, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the opening effect command, the sub CPU 32a executes the opening effect with the effect content specified by the opening effect command. Similarly, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a round command, the sub CPU 32a executes a round effect based on the round command. When the ending effect command is input, the sub CPU 32a causes the ending effect to be executed with the effect content specified by the ending effect command.

Next, the production mode of the confrontation reach production will be described based on FIGS.
In FIG. 16, it is assumed that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P6.

At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the overall CPU 31a (FIG. 16B). Specifically, based on the premise, the line (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the line (character string) “do not lose” is displayed together with the enemy character K0. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [2 ↓ 2] based on the variation pattern P6 (FIG. 16 (c)), and then displays the designated teammate character K3 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to cause the change (FIG. 16D). At this time, since the character K3 is displayed as an ally character, the player is highly likely to receive a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game, and is likely to end the probability variation effect mode. Can be recognized.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the probability change effect that the enemy character K0 defends against the attack of the teammate character K3 based on the variation pattern P6 (FIG. 16 (e)). )). The player can recognize that the probability variation effect mode is given after the symbol variation game is completed. In addition, since the character K3 is displayed as a teammate character, the player can recognize that there is a high possibility that the 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game will be given, and can play the game with a sense of security. it can.

  Based on the variation pattern P6, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the first effect indicating that the attack of the teammate character K3 has been successful, the enemy character K0 has fallen, and has won. (FIG. 16 (f)). Accordingly, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded after the symbol variation game is finished.

  Then, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to temporarily stop and display the temporary symbol [222] designated by the temporary symbol designation command based on the variation pattern P6 (FIG. 16 (g)). Next, the sub CPU 32a causes the decorative drawings of all the rows to be variably displayed again based on the variation pattern P6 to execute a re-variation effect (FIG. 16 (h)). After that, when the all symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [777] designated by the decorative symbol designation command to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 16 ( i)). Thereby, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  In FIG. 17, description will be made assuming that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P5. Further, description will be made assuming that [212] is determined as the fixed stop decoration drawing and the character K2 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that a 2R non-probability big hit game is given. Further, it is assumed that the teammate character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 produces the dialogue “I can win” in the notice effect.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P5 (FIG. 17 (a)). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the overall CPU 31a (FIG. 17B). Specifically, based on the premise, the dialogue (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the dialogue (character string) “Is it possible to win?” Is displayed together with the enemy character K0. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [2 ↓ 2] based on the variation pattern P5 (FIG. 17 (c)), and then displays the designated ally character K2 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to make it appear (FIG. 17D).

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute a crisis effect in which the enemy character K0 fights against the attack of the teammate character K2 based on the variation pattern P5 (FIG. 17E). ). The player can recognize that the probability variation effect mode may not be given after the symbol variation game is over.

  Then, based on the variation pattern P5, the sub CPU 32a displays the content displayed on the variable display H2 so as to execute the second effect indicating that the defense of the teammate character K2 has failed and defeated the enemy character K0. Is controlled (FIG. 17 (f)). Thereby, after the symbol variation game is completed, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is not given and the probability variation concealment mode is set.

  When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [212] designated by the decorative symbol designation command to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 17 ( g)). After this, a 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded and the probabilistic hidden mode is set.

  In FIG. 18, it is assumed that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P3. In addition, it is assumed that [777] is determined as the confirmed stop decoration and the character K4 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that a 15R probability variation big hit game is given. In addition, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 emits the dialogue “I will not lose” in the notice effect.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P3 (FIG. 18A). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the general CPU 31a (FIG. 18B). Specifically, based on the premise, the line (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the line (character string) “do not lose” is displayed together with the enemy character. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [7 ↓ 7] based on the variation pattern P3 (FIG. 18C), and then displays the designated teammate character K4 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to cause the change (FIG. 18D). At this time, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is given because the character K4 is displayed as the teammate character.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute a crisis effect in which the enemy character K0 fights against the attack of the teammate character K4 based on the variation pattern P3 (FIG. 18 (e)). ). At this time, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game is given because the decorative drawing constituting the symbol combination of the reach is “7” even though the crisis effect is executed. .

  Based on the variation pattern P3, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the first effect indicating that the attack of the teammate character K4 has been successful, the enemy character K0 has fallen, and has won. (FIG. 18 (f)). After that, when the all-symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [777] designated by the decorative design designation command so as to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 18 ( g)).

  In FIG. 19, it is assumed that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P4. In addition, it is assumed that [323] is determined as the confirmed stop decoration and the character K1 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that the second 2R probability variation big hit game is given. In addition, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 emits the dialogue “I will not lose” in the notice effect.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P4 (FIG. 19A). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the general CPU 31a (FIG. 19B). Specifically, based on the premise, the line (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the line (character string) “do not lose” is displayed together with the enemy character. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [3 ↓ 3] based on the variation pattern P4 (FIG. 19C), and then displays the designated ally character K1 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to cause the change (FIG. 19D). At this time, since the character K1 is displayed as an ally character, the player can hardly expect to receive a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game, but is likely to be given a probability variation effect mode. I can recognize that.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute a crisis effect in which the enemy character K0 fights against the attack of the teammate character K1 based on the variation pattern P4 (FIG. 19 (e)). ). At this time, the player can recognize that the probability variation effect mode is given because the decorative drawing constituting the symbol combination of the reach is “3” even though the crisis effect is executed.

  Then, based on the variation pattern P4, the sub CPU 32a displays the content displayed on the variable display H2 so as to execute the second effect indicating that the defense of the teammate character K1 is successful against the counterattack of the enemy character K0. Is controlled (FIG. 19 (f)). After that, when the all-symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [323] designated by the decorative design designation command to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 19 ( g)).

  Next, an effect mode when the notice effect is executed when the symbol change game is performed based on the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 20, description will be made assuming that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P <b> 16. In addition, the description will be made assuming that [425] is determined as the fixed stop decoration. In FIG. 20, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the line “...” In the notice effect and the enemy character K0 does not appear.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start the execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P16 (FIG. 20A). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the overall CPU 31a (FIG. 20B). Specifically, based on the premise, the dialogue (character string) “...” Is displayed together with the teammate character KY. After that, when the all-symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to display the fixed stop decoration [425] designated by the decorative design designation command so as to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 20 ( c)).

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The variation pattern P1 for executing the probability variation confirmed effect is determined when the special drawings A and B are determined as the final stop symbols, that is, when the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is given. It has become. Further, the variation pattern P2 for executing the probability variation effect is determined when the special drawings D and E are determined as the final stop symbols, that is, when the second and third 2R probability variation big hit games are awarded. It has become. Further, the variation pattern P6 for executing the probability variation finalizing effect is determined when the special figure A is determined as the final stop symbol, that is, when the 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded. For this reason, whether or not a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game that can be expected to pay out a prize ball is given even if it is recognized that the probability variation effect mode is confirmed and the grant of the probability variation effect mode is confirmed. Cannot determine whether or not. Accordingly, the player is expected to receive a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game that can be expected to pay out a prize ball until the symbol variation game is finished, and how the first effect is executed. Can be noticed.

  Further, the fluctuation pattern P3 for executing the crisis effect is determined when the special drawings A and B are determined as the final stop symbols. The variation pattern P4 for executing the crisis effect is when the special drawings D, E, and G are determined as the final stop symbols, that is, when the second and third 2R probability variable big hit games or the small hit games are given. To be decided. Further, the variation pattern P7 for executing the crisis effect is determined when the special figure A is determined as the final stop symbol, that is, when the 15R probability variable big hit game is awarded. Further, the fluctuation pattern P5 for executing the crisis effect is determined when the special figures C and F are determined as the final stop symbols, that is, when the first 2R probability variable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded. It has become so. For this reason, when a crisis effect is executed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the probability change effect mode is given, and what effect contents the first effect is performed and the second effect is. It can be noticed what happens. That is, regardless of whether the probability change effect or the crisis effect is executed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the game content.

  (2) Even if a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game that can be expected to pay out a prize ball is given, a crisis effect may be executed based on the variation patterns P3 and P7. For this reason, even if the development of the symbol variation game is difficult to read and a crisis effect is executed, the player can be expected to pay out a prize ball, and the interest can be improved.

  (3) While a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game that can be expected to pay out a prize ball is likely to be given to a teammate character appearing in a confrontation reach production, the probability variation production mode may end. It is suggested that the character K3 indicating high and the 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game that can be expected to pay out the prize ball are low, but the probability variation effect mode is likely to be given. Character K1 is included. That is, when the character K3 is displayed, when the first effect is executed, a good result is likely to be given (a jackpot game that can be expected to pay out a prize ball), and the second effect is executed. In addition, it tends to be a bad result (the probability variation effect mode is not given). On the other hand, when the character K1 is displayed, when the first effect is executed, a bad result is likely to be given (a winning game where a prize ball cannot be expected to be paid out), and the second effect is executed. Sometimes, it tends to be a good result (providing a probability variation effect mode). For this reason, after recognizing what kind of friend character is displayed during the confrontation reach effect, the player can pay attention to which one of the first effect and the second effect is executed. Similarly, attention can also be paid to whether or not the probability variation effect that confirms the execution of the first effect is executed.

  (4) As a teammate character, the same characters K1 to K4 are continuously given a predetermined number of times (three times in the present embodiment), except when a 15R probability variation jackpot game or a 7R probability variation jackpot game is awarded in the confrontation reach production. I try not to decide. Thereby, when the same kind of character is displayed as a teammate character three times or more in the confrontation reach effect, it can be recognized that a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game is given. For this reason, a player can be made to pay attention to the ally character displayed over a plurality of symbol change games. Further, in the confrontation reach production, the teammate character is bored of the player because the same character is not continuously displayed more than a predetermined number of times, except when a 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game is given. Absent.

  (5) When the variation pattern P3 is designated and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a does not determine [777] as the finalized stop decoration. ing. In addition, when the variation pattern P4 is designated, the general CPU 31a does not determine [767] as the fixed stop decoration diagram, and does not display the reach symbol combination [7 ↓ 7] during the symbol variation game. ing. Then, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the general CPU 31a does not determine [323] [545] [767] as the fixed stop decoration diagram, and the reach symbol combination [3 ↓ 3] during the symbol variation game. ] [5 ↓ 5] [7 ↓ 7] are not displayed. For this reason, it is determined that the 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded when the crisis effect is executed when the reach symbol combination by the decoration “7” is displayed. In addition, when the crisis effect is executed when the reach symbol combination by the decoration diagrams “3”, “5”, and “7” is displayed, it is determined that the probability variation state is continued. In this way, depending on the types of decorative symbols constituting the symbol combination of reach, even when a crisis effect is performed, it is possible to give a player a sense of security or a sense of security. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the decorative symbols that constitute the reach symbol combination, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (6) The variation pattern P5 is determined when the special figures C and F are determined as the final stop symbols, that is, when the first 2R probability variable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded. For this reason, even if the probability variation concealment mode is set after the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5, the probability variation state may be hidden. In other words, even if the game is defeated by the confrontation reach production and the probability variation concealment mode is set, the player is expected to have a certain probability variation state and willing to continue the game. be able to.

  (7) After executing the confrontation reach effect, the variation patterns P6 and P7 for executing the re-variation effect are when the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode is set (when the entrance rate improvement state is given) ), Only when special figure A is decided as the final stop symbol. In this way, when the variation patterns P6 and P7 are determined and the re-variation effect is executed during the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, the 15R probability variation big hit game is always given. On the other hand, the fluctuation pattern P8 for executing the re-change effect is determined as either the special figure A or the special figure B as the final stop symbol when the normal mode is set (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given). Even if it is done, it will be decided. As described above, when the variation pattern P8 is determined during the normal mode and the re-variation effect is executed, the 15R probability variation big hit game may or may not be granted. Therefore, in the normal mode, when the re-variation effect is executed, it can be noted whether or not the 15R probability variation big hit game is given. On the other hand, during the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, when the revariation effect is executed, the 15R probability variation big hit game is always given, and the 15R probability variable big hit game is not given (7R probability variable big hit game is given). B) The re-variation effect is not executed. For this reason, during the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, the tempo of the game becomes faster because the re-variation effect without the 15R probability variation big hit game is not executed as a whole. Furthermore, by speeding up the game tempo during the probability variation effect mode in which the next big hit is fixed, it is possible to prevent the player from being frustrated or feeling unpleasant. Further, during the probability variation effect mode, it is possible to prevent the re-variation effect from which the 7R probability variation big hit game is derived from being executed continuously in a short time.

  (8) When the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the number of starting reserved balls (the number of stored memories) deviates depending on whether or not the predetermined value (3 in the present embodiment) has reached a predetermined value before starting the variation pattern determination process. The length of the production time of the symbol variation game (normal variation) becomes different. In other words, when the number of starting and holding balls (the number of stored memories) has reached a predetermined value before the start of the variation pattern determination process, by shortening the effect time of the symbol variation game that is out of play, Can be digested. For this reason, even if a game ball is won at the start winning opening 22, it is possible to prevent a situation in which 1 is not added to the reserved memory number (the winning is invalidated) because the number of the reserved memory number has reached a predetermined value. it can. In addition, when the number of starting reserved balls (the number of reserved memories) has not reached the predetermined value (3 in the present embodiment) before the start of the variation pattern determination process, by lengthening the effect time of the symbol variation game to be out, If it is difficult to enter the start winning opening 22, the time during which no symbol variation game is played can be reduced as much as possible.

  On the other hand, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, even if the number of reserved memories has reached a predetermined value, a variation pattern in which a time (7500 ms) for executing the notice effect is secured. The symbol variation game based on P16 can be executed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the game effect from becoming monotonous and to prevent the player from getting bored. In addition, since the variation pattern P17 that is executed by the symbol variation game having an effect time shorter than the effect time of the symbol variation game specified by the variation pattern P16 is determined with a predetermined probability regardless of the number of starting reservation balls, It is possible to prevent the game being played from being slowed down and increasing the number of reserved memory that is wasted. That is, the tempo of the game is accelerated and the player is not frustrated.

  (9) When the previous symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect and the notice effect is being executed, the overall CPU 31a determines the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect. Even so, the execution of the notice effect is not decided. That is, the notice effect is not continuously executed in the symbol variation game in which the reach effect is not executed. Thereby, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the notice effect that becomes out of order is continuously generated, and even if the notice effect is executed, the player does not think that it cannot be expected. Moreover, it is possible to prevent annoying thoughts by frequently executing useless effects.

  (10) In the probability variation concealment mode in which the probability variation state is hidden, in the case of the probability variation state rather than the case of the non-probability variation state, the overall CPU 31a affirms the reach determination with a high probability and performs the reach effect. Let it run. For this reason, when the outlier reach effect is frequently executed, it can be expected that the probable state is given to the player.

  (11) In the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, when the reach symbol combination is displayed and the reach effect is executed, in the symbol variation game, a big hit game is given or the effect mode is newly set. It may be an opportunity. For this reason, during the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the notice effect that suggests the reach effect, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (12) When the symbol variation game has been executed for a predetermined number of times (50 times) or more after the entry rate improvement state is given, and when the variation pattern P16 for the off-stage effect is determined, The general CPU 31a is configured to execute the notice effect with a high probability. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from being bored when the big hit game is not given despite the fact that the improved entrance rate is given.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the sub CPU 32a may execute a suggestive effect that suggests a teammate character in advance before displaying the teammate character based on the determined teammate character. For example, the background color of the background screen that is easily determined for each of the characters K1 to K4 is determined in advance. Then, the general CPU 31a (or the sub CPU 32a) determines a background color by random lottery, and the sub CPU 32a displays a background screen based on the determined background color. In the confrontation reach production, since the development of the symbol variation game can be predicted by the teammate character, the player is interested in what teammate character is determined. For this reason, it is possible to improve the interest of the game without getting bored of the player by executing the suggestion effect that suggests in advance the friendly character that the player is interested in.

  In the above embodiment, the general CPU 31a or the sub CPU 32a, when the variation patterns P1 and P2 are determined, executes a notification effect that notifies in advance that the probability change confirmed effect is executed before the probability change confirmed effect is executed. May be. When such a notification effect is executed, since the probability change effect mode is given after the symbol variation game ends, it is possible to give the player a sense of security. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the notification effect is executed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the reach effect R4 for determining the big hit is provided, but it may not be provided.
In the above embodiment, in the re-drawing effect, it has been shown whether a big hit game of 7R probable big hit game or 15R probable big hit game is given. May be shown.

In the above embodiment, the re-variation effect need not be executed.
In the above embodiment, the fixed stop decoration may be arbitrarily determined regardless of the type of the final stop symbol.

In the above embodiment, the symbol combination for suggesting probability change may be arbitrarily changed.
In the above embodiment, the appearance probability of the teammate character that appears in the confrontation reach effect is changed based on the variation pattern, but it may not be changed.

○ In the confrontation reach production of the above embodiment, when the character K4 is made to appear as a friend character, the provision of the 15R probability variation big hit game is confirmed, but it need not be confirmed.
In the above embodiment, the same type of teammate character is prevented from appearing three times or more in the confrontation reach effect except when a 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded, but it may appear. Further, the number of times may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the same type of teammate character may not appear more than five times.

  In the above embodiment, when the previous symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect and the notice effect is being executed, the general CPU 31a determines that the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is present. Even if determined, the execution of the notice effect is not determined, but may be executed. In addition, the notice effect is not executed twice in succession, but the execution of the notice effect may be restricted for the first time when the predetermined number of times (for example, three times) is continued.

  In the above embodiment, when the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times) or more after the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined, The overall CPU 31a executes the notice effect with high probability, but the probability may not be changed. Further, the predetermined number of times may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be 100 times. In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times or more after the probability variation effect mode (or probability variation concealment mode) is set, and the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined, the overall CPU 31a The notice effect may be executed with a high probability.

In the above embodiment, the general CPU 31a is configured to execute the notice effect with a predetermined probability when the variation pattern P16 for the outlier effect is determined, but may be executed without fail.
○ In the above embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the variation in symbols is different depending on whether or not the number of reserved memories has reached a predetermined value (3 in the present embodiment) before starting the variation pattern determination process. The length of the game (normal fluctuation) performance time has been changed. As another example, the predetermined value may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the upper limit value (4 in the present embodiment) of the reserved storage number may be set, or “2” may be set.

  In the above embodiment, the general CPU 31a sets the normal mode when the provision of the entrance rate improvement state is completed when the probability variation concealment mode is set. As an example of this, the general CPU 31a The normal mode may be set when the sphere improvement state and the probability variation state are not given.

  In the embodiment described above, the main CPU 30a determines that the variation pattern P5 if the entrance rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game in step S30 of the variation pattern determination process. It was determined. As another example, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P2, P4, and a variation pattern P2, P4 in the probability variation performance mode when the entrance rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the winning effect corresponding to the small hit game. The variation pattern may be determined from P5. As a result, the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P2, P4, and P5 is easily executed. In addition, there is a case where a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 indicating that the probability variation effect mode is not given is performed at the time of winning the small hit game. For this reason, the probability variation state may be imparted even if the probability variation effect mode is not imparted. Therefore, it can be made to expect that the probability change state is hidden in the player. In addition, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P5 during the probability variation concealment mode when the entrance rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the main CPU 30a may output the common variation pattern P200 when the small hit game is given during the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode or when the outlier reach effect is executed. Good. In this case, when the fluctuation pattern P200 is designated, the general CPU 31a changes the specific content of the confrontation reach effect according to the set effect mode, and controls the content of the confrontation reach effect. This is specified for the substrates 32-34. That is, when the fluctuation pattern P200 is designated, the general CPU 31a is drawn in the confrontation reach effect if the probability change effect mode is in effect, and indicates that the probability change effect mode is set continuously (variation pattern). The content corresponding to P4) is designated as the production content of the confrontation reach production. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern P200 is designated, the general CPU 31a loses in the confrontation reach effect if the probability variation concealment mode is in effect, and indicates that the probability variation concealment mode is continuously set (variation pattern). The content corresponding to P5) is designated as the production content of the confrontation reach production.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.

And an effect mode setting means for setting a probability change concealment mode that suggests the possibility that a probability change state or a probability change state is given, and the jackpot game determination means is a determination result of the jackpot determination means Is positive, the first jackpot game in which the special winning opening is opened after the end of the symbol variation game, and the special winning opening is opened rather than the first jackpot game. Among the second jackpot games with a short interval, the jackpot game is configured to be determined, and the probability variation determining means determines that the jackpot game determining means is to grant the first jackpot game. In such a case, it is decided to give a probability change state, while when the jackpot game determination means decides to give a second jackpot game, it gives either a probability change state or a non-probability change state. If the jackpot game determination means determines that the first jackpot game is to be granted, the pitch percentage improvement state is set until the next jackpot game is granted. On the other hand, if the jackpot game determining means determines to give the second jackpot game and the probability variation determining means does not impart the probability variation state, a predetermined number of symbol variation games are awarded.
