Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having a plurality of types of display patterns for deriving a plurality of types of performance paths and a plurality of types of results by branching off the development of display effect contents.

Conventionally, a pachinko gaming machine, which is a type of gaming machine, includes a variable display of a liquid crystal display type, for example, and a plurality of types of symbols are changed in the variable display in response to winning of a game ball at a start winning opening. A symbol variation game is being played. In such a pachinko gaming machine, there is one that notifies a player that a big hit is made in a symbol variation game by a plurality of types of reach effects (for example, Patent Document 1). In Patent Literature 1, when determining the reach effect specified by the variation pattern based on the variation pattern, the jackpot is determined by setting the reach effect that is easy to select when the jackpot is determined When a reach production that is easy to select appears, the player's expectation for the big hit is increased.
JP 2007-044198 A

  By the way, although the reach effect that is easy to be selected when the big hit is determined as in Patent Document 1, the reach effect that is easy to select when the big hit is determined is displayed among the players. Regardless, there are players who can't easily reach the big hit. That is, whether or not the reach effect is executed is determined in the same determination mode every time by lottery for each symbol variation game, so even if it is a reach effect that is easily selected when the big hit is determined, the setting Was not necessarily reflected in the actual game scene.

  Also, in recent pachinko machines, the types of development of the design of the symbol variation game are categorized into multiple types of systems (developments) that differ in the development of the effects, and further the development of effects according to the system (development) In some cases, by having a plurality of types of production results as well as having a plurality of types of production results, it is possible to improve the interest of the design of the symbol variation game. In such a pachinko gaming machine, an appearance rate for each effect route and each effect result is determined in advance by predetermining a ratio to be selected when the big hit and the deviation are determined for each effect route and each effect result. ing. For this reason, due to factors such as the proportion of selection of each development being dispersed as the development of the production becomes more complex, the appearance rate for each production route and production result is reflected in the scene where the game is actually played. It becomes difficult. In other words, even though the development of a plurality of types of effects is provided to improve the interest in the effects of the design variation game, the results of the design development are biased toward any of the developments. There was a possibility that the interest in the production of the film would be reduced.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and the purpose thereof is a gaming machine in which a symbol variation game is developed with a plurality of types of presentation paths and a plurality of types of presentation results. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the interest in the effect of the symbol variation game by bringing the appearance rate of each effect route and effect result close to a predetermined standard value as a reference.

On the front surface of the game board YB, a guide rail 26 that guides a game ball that is launched by operating the launch handle 24 and forms a substantially circular game area H1 that is the main body of a pachinko game is laid in a circular spiral shape. Yes. With this guide rail 26, a game ball guide path 26a extending from the lower left to the upper left of the game board YB is formed on the game board YB, and a game area H1 is formed inside the guide rail 26. . Further, the outside of the game area H1 that is the front surface of the game board YB and outside the guide rail 26 is a non-game area H2 that is not directly involved in the pachinko game.

  At almost the center (center) of the game area H1 of the game board YB, a display frame body (center accessory) 27 with various displays and various decorations is mounted. A set port 27a that opens in a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from the front is formed in the approximate center of the display frame 27, and the display frame 27 has a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH in alignment with the set port 27a. An effect display device 28 is mounted as a display means and an effect execution device. The effect display device 28 includes a symbol variation game which is performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in the present embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are images. It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 28, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 28 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects. The display frame 27 is equipped with a panel lamp portion 27b that produces a light emission effect by light emission.

  A special symbol display device 30 as a display means is provided at the lower left of the display frame 27. The special symbol display device 30 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED type light emitting device. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) whether or not the big hit.

  In the effect display device 28 and the special symbol display device 30, the variation of the symbols (special symbol and decorative symbol) is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game. Specifically, with the start of the symbol variation game, the special symbol display device 30 starts the variation of the special symbol, while the effect display device 28 starts the variation of the decorative symbol of each column. Then, on the effect display device 28 and the special symbol display device 30, the big hit symbol (big hit display result) or the off symbol (missing display result) is stopped definitively simultaneously at the end of the symbol variation game based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. Is displayed. At this time, in the special symbol display device 30 and the effect display device 28, if the lottery result of the big hit lottery is a big hit, the big hit symbol is definitely stopped and displayed on all the display devices (definite stop display), and the big hit lottery If the lottery result is out of place, the out-of-place symbol is displayed on any of the display devices. The jackpot symbol is displayed in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a big hit, and the outlier symbol is displayed in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is out. It is what is done.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 30 selects one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery from among a plurality of special figures (101 kinds in the present embodiment) and selects the selected special figure. The figure is individually displayed with a fixed stop when the symbol variation game ends. The 101 types of special symbols are classified into 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and one type of outlier symbol that can recognize a hit. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 28 has 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Different numbers are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 28 is configured with a display area larger than that of the special symbol display device 30, and the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special symbol. . For this reason, the player can recognize a big hit or loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 28. When the symbols of all columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 28 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, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 28 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are of a different type 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 this embodiment) is displayed among the symbol combinations out of place. In some cases, it can be recognized that a jackpot game may be awarded. The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of jackpot determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each column in the effect display device 28, when the symbol variation game is started, the ornament symbols are variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). Then, when the symbol variation game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as seen from the player side in the effect display device 28 The decorative drawings are 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 gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column where the decorative drawing is first temporarily stopped and displayed is the first stop symbol row, and then the right where the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed. The row becomes the second stop symbol row, and finally, the middle row that temporarily displays the decorative drawing is the third stop symbol row.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the display area (image display surface) of the effect display device 28 is formed larger than the display area of the special symbol display device 30, and the effect display device 28 is conspicuous in front of the player. Are arranged as follows. For this reason, the player pays attention to the display content of the effect display device 28 in which a display effect (for example, reach effect or notice effect) is performed with a variety of images in front of his / her own eyes than the special symbol display device 30. A big hit or a loss is recognized from the symbol combination derived and displayed in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 28.

  A normal symbol display device 31 is provided at the lower right of the display frame 27. The normal symbol display device 31 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED type light emitting device. In the normal symbol display device 31, an internal lottery (winning lottery) of whether or not to make a hit separately from the big hitting lottery of whether or not the big hit (whether or not to open the lower start winning opening 34 by opening the opening and closing blade 35). The lottery result is displayed. In the normal symbol display device 31 of this embodiment, when the winning is determined by the winning lottery, the winning symbol is determined and stopped in the normal symbol changing game, while the shift is determined in the winning lottery. In such a case, in the normal symbol variation game, the shift symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  Further, in the game area H1 below the display frame 27, an upper start winning port 33 having a game ball entrance 33a and a lower start winning port 34 having a game ball entrance 34a are arranged vertically. Is arranged. The upper start winning opening 33 is configured such that the entrance 33a is always open so as to allow the entrance of game balls at all times. On the other hand, the lower start winning opening 34 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 35 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown). The entrance 34a is configured to be open so as to allow entry of a sphere. In other words, the lower start winning opening 34 is configured to make it impossible to enter a game ball unless the opening / closing blade 35 is opened to open the entrance 34a.

  An upper start switch SW1 (shown in FIG. 4) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the upper start winning port 33, and a ball has been inserted in the back of the lower start winning port 34. A lower start port switch SW2 (shown in FIG. 4) for detecting a game ball is provided. The upper start winning opening 33 and the lower start winning opening 34 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of winning balls by detecting a game ball that has entered. When the opening and closing blades 35 are opened, the lower start winning opening 34 is made in a state in which the entrance is expanded and the game balls are easy to enter, whereas when the opening and closing blades 35 are closed, the entrance is not expanded and It is assumed that it is impossible to enter the ball.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a large winning prize as a winning means is provided below the lower start winning prize port 34, which includes a big prize opening door 40 that opens and closes by the operation of an unillustrated actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.). A mouth 41 is provided. Behind the big winning opening 41 is provided a count switch SW3 for detecting a game ball entered. When the big hit game is generated, the big prize opening 41 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 40 and the game ball can be entered, so that the player has a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. Obtainable. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by the internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game.

  The big hit game is started after the big win symbol is determined by the internal lottery, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation 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 effect, the round game in which the big prize opening 41 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 40 is performed a plurality of times, with a predetermined number of rounds (the upper limit number of round games) as an upper limit. One round game may satisfy either one of the following conditions: a predetermined round game time has elapsed since the start of the round game, or a predetermined maximum number of game balls have entered. finish. The big hit game ends with an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game after the end of the predetermined number of round games. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “16 times” or “2 times” is given.

  Further, a normal symbol operating gate 42 is disposed in the game area H1 on the left side of the display frame 27. A normal symbol variation switch SW4 (shown in FIG. 4) for detecting a game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operation gate 42 is provided at the back of the normal symbol operation gate 42. The normal symbol operation gate 42 can give only the starting condition of the normal symbol variation game when the game ball passes.

  In addition, in the lowermost part of the game area H1 of the game board YB (below the big winning opening 41), game balls that have been launched into the gaming area H1 and have not entered any winning opening are regarded as out balls. An out-bulb opening 43 for discharging outside the machine is formed. The game balls that have passed through the out ball opening 43 are discharged to an out ball tank (not shown) disposed in the installation facility (game island) of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. 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 that varies from a normal probability to a high probability. 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. In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shortened, and the normal symbol variation game lottery probability (winning probability) based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 42 is low. The entrance rate improvement state which fluctuates from probability to high probability is given as a privilege. In the state where the entrance rate is improved, the open / close blades 35 of the lower start winning opening 34 are in the normal symbol variation game when the probability variation state is given and when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. When winning, it opens and closes with different operation patterns. When the normal symbol variation game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 35 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 100 ms elapses after the opening. In addition, when the normal symbol variation game is won in the probability variation state, the number of times the opening / closing blade 35 is opened increases (for example, three times) and 1400 ms (relative to the normal state) after opening in one opening. Until a long time elapses). That is, the opening / closing blade 35 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player than when the normal state is applied when the probability variation state is applied. If a probable change state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability, and it is easy for a big win to occur. It is carried out.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. That is, the probability variation state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In this embodiment, since the probability variation state is set to 10000 as a predetermined number of times, it is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In addition, in this embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state is the type of the probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit was played (in this embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state Whether or not it is given is determined.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter, referred to as “time reduction”). The time-shortening function is a function for giving a winning rate improvement state as a privilege with a low winning probability (winning probability) after winning the big hit game as a bonus (normal state). In addition, when the short time state is given, the probability of winning a lottery is low, but the improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In other words, the opening / closing blade 35 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is applied than when the normal state is applied. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. That is, the time-short state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In this embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state may be given after the big hit game ends.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one kind of big hit game is determined from the three types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. . Of the three 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 the present embodiment, 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into three types: special symbol A, special symbol B, and special symbol C, as shown in FIG.

  The special symbol A has 70 types of jackpot symbols, the special symbol B has 10 types of jackpot symbols, and the special symbol C has 20 types of jackpot symbols. When special symbols are distributed in this way, the jackpot game based on the special symbol A is 70% (70/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the special symbol B is 10% (10/100) of the entire jackpot. Thus, the jackpot game based on the special symbol C is 20% (20/100) of the entire jackpot.

  The jackpot game based on the special symbol A is a jackpot game by setting the number of rounds to “16” and opening the jackpot (in this embodiment, the jackpot 41 in this embodiment) once during a round game. It is a big hit game that opens the grand prize opening “16 times (16 rounds × 1 time)”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the special symbol A is referred to as “16R jackpot game”. The 16R jackpot game is performed by opening the jackpot 41, and after the jackpot game is finished, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state until the end of the probability change state. It is to be granted. That is, in this embodiment, in the 16R jackpot game, the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are granted during the maximum grant period of the probability variation state (10000 passes or the jackpot game is granted next). It has become. In the 16R jackpot game, “8000 (ms)” is set as the opening effect time, “25000 (ms)” is set as the round game time of each round game, and “11000 (ms)” is set as the ending effect time. . In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 16R big hit game is set to “8 balls”.

  In the big hit game based on the special symbol B, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big prize opening 41 is opened “1 time” during one round game, so that the big prize opening 41 is set to “2” during the big hit game. The game is a big hit game that is released once (2 rounds x 1). Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the special symbol B is referred to as “2R probability variable jackpot game”. 2R probability variable jackpot game is performed by opening the big winning hole 41, and depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the jackpot game is finished, the probability variation state and the winning rate improvement state are given, and the big hit game ends There is a case where only the probability variation state is given later. Specifically, if a winning rate improvement state is not granted at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability variation state is granted after the big hit game is finished, but the winning rate improvement state is not granted, so only the probability variation state is granted. (The entry rate improvement state is given 0 times). That is, in the present embodiment, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, only the probability changed state is given during the maximum grant period of the probability changed state. ing. On the other hand, in 2R probability variation big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the maximum grant of the probability variation state up to the next big hit game is granted While given during the period, it is given during the maximum grant period in the short time state in which the entrance rate improvement state has an upper limit of 100 times. In addition, after the 2R probability variable big hit game is finished, when the ball entering rate improvement state is given, the game is played until the symbol change game is played 100 times or the next big hit game is given. A rate improvement state is given.

  In the 2R probability variation big hit game, “400 (ms)” is set as the opening time, “600 (ms)” is set as the round game time of one round game, and “2092 (ms)” is set as the ending time. ing. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “1000 (ms)”, and the final release interval time (time from the end of the last round to the start of ending) is , “1000 (ms)”. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 2R probability variable big hit game is set to “8 balls”.

  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 (600 (ms)) of the 2R probability variable big hit game is such that the number of game balls entering the big prize opening 41 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game. Set to time. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to launch one game ball is “600 (ms)”. . That is, in each round game of 2R probability variable big hit game, it is substantially to launch and enter “8 balls” game balls, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (600 (ms)). It is impossible.

  In the big hit game based on the special symbol C, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big prize opening 41 is opened “1 time” during one round game, so that the big prize opening 41 is set to “2” during the big hit game. The game is a big hit game that is released once (2 rounds x 1). Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the special symbol C is referred to as a “2R non-probable variable jackpot game”. The 2R non-probability big hit game is performed by opening the big winning opening 41, so that whether or not a short time state (that is, a state in which the winning rate is improved) is given depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. It has become. 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. That is, in the present embodiment, in the 2R non-probability variable big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, neither the probable change state nor the winning rate improvement state is given. . On the other hand, 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. That is, in the present embodiment, in 2R non-probability big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the shorter time state (entry rate improving state) is shorter than 100 times. It is given during the maximum grant period of the state (entrance rate improvement state). In addition, after the end of 2R non-probable big hit game, if the entry rate improvement state is given, it will be entered until either the symbol variation game is played 100 times or the next big hit game is given. A ball improvement state is given.

  In the 2R non-probable big hit game, “400 (ms)” is set as the opening time, “600 (ms)” is set as the round game time of one round game, and “2092 (ms)” is set as the ending time. ing. The interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 2R non-probable big hit game is set to “1000 (ms)”, and the final release interval time (time from the end of the final round to the start of ending) Is set to “1000 (ms)”. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 2R non-probability big hit game is set to “8 balls”.

  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 (600 (ms)) of the 2R non-probable big hit game is such that the number of game balls that enter the big prize opening 41 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game. The time is set. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to launch one game ball is “600 (ms)”. . In other words, in each round game of 2R non-probability big hit game, it is practical to launch and enter “8 balls” of game balls, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (600 (ms)). It is impossible.

  That is, the opening time, round game time, and ending time in the 2R non-probable big hit game are set to the same time as the opening time, round game time, and ending time of the 2R probable big hit game, respectively. The opening mode of the big prize opening door 40 in the 2R probability variable big hit game is the same as the opening mode of the big prize opening door 40 in the 2R non-variable big hit game.

  For this reason, it becomes impossible to determine which of the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game has been awarded based on the opening state of the grand prize opening door 40, the opening time, the round game time, and the ending time. ing. Similarly, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit and whether or not the improved entry rate state is given after the end of the big hit game, the 2R positive change big hit game and the 2R non-probable change are not given. It is impossible to determine which of the big hit games has been awarded. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished, it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability change state is given after the 2R probability change big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game is finished. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished, it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability change state is given after the 2R probability change big hit game and the 2R non-probability big hit game are finished.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 45 as a main control device for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 45 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 and performs arithmetic processing of control signals (control commands) as various control commands for controlling the game according to the processing results. The control signal (control command) is output. In addition, a sub-integrated control board 46, an effect display control board 47, and an audio / lamp control board 48 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. In the present embodiment, a sub-control device is configured by the sub-integrated control board 46, the effect display control board 47, and the sound / lamp control board 48.

  The sub integrated control board 46 comprehensively controls the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 45. The effect display control board 47 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 28 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 45 and the sub control board 46. To do. Further, the sound / lamp control board 48 emits light (lights (flashes) / lights off) of the various lamp units 17 to 19 and 27b based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 45 and the sub control board 46. And the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speakers 20, 21, 25 are controlled.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 45, the sub general control board 46, and the effect display control board 47 will be described.
On the main control board 45, a main control CPU 45a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 45b for storing a control program for the main control CPU 45a, and necessary data can be written and read. A main control RAM 45c is provided. A main control ROM 45b and a main control RAM 45c are connected to the main control CPU 45a. Further, the main control CPU 45a has an upper start switch SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize opening 33 and a lower start port SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize opening 34. It is connected. The main control CPU 45a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 41 and a normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 42. . Also, a special symbol display device 30 and a normal symbol display device 31 are connected to the main control CPU 45a via a symbol display board 49. The symbol display board 49 is mounted at a position corresponding to the special symbol display device 30 and the normal symbol display device 31, respectively. The control signal output from the main control board 45 is input, and the special symbol display device 30 and the normal symbol display are displayed. The display content of the device 31 is controlled.

  Further, the main control CPU 45a updates the values of various random numbers such as the big hit determination random numbers every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 45c before updating. Has been rewritten. Further, the main control CPU 45a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main control CPU 45a stores (sets) various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control ROM 45b. In addition to the main control program, a plurality of types of variation patterns are stored in the main control ROM 45b. The variation pattern is displayed in the symbol display game 28 and the special symbol display device 30, after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start, and then the symbol display game 28 and the special symbol display device 30 are fixedly stopped and displayed. The pattern used as the base of the game effect (display effect, light emission effect, sound effect) until is complete | finished is shown. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (the change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change until the special figure is confirmed and stopped. The variation patterns are classified for each variation content including a jackpot effect (for jackpot effect (for jackpot variation)), an outlier reach effect (for outlier reach variation), and an outlier effect (for normal variation). .

  As shown in FIG. 5, the variation patterns include variation patterns P3 to P5 for a big hit effect selected when the big hit lottery is won. Further, the variation patterns include a variation pattern P2 for an outlier reach effect and a variation pattern P1 for an outlier effect (for an effect without an outreach reach) selected in the case of a loss that is not won in the big hit lottery. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the types of variation patterns that can be selected based on whether or not the gaming state is giving the entrance rate improvement state are different. The fluctuation pattern in the case of giving the entrance rate improvement state is shown. Therefore, FIG. 5 shows a part of the variation pattern stored in the main control ROM 45b in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, and actually the entrance rate in addition to the variation pattern shown in FIG. There are a variation pattern selected while the improvement state is being applied, a variation pattern selected when the entry rate improvement state is not being applied, and the like. In the present embodiment, the description will focus on variation patterns that can be selected during the application of the improved entrance rate shown in FIG. 5 through the description of the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect includes variation patterns P3 and P4 that are selected when the 16R big hit game is determined. The variation pattern for the big hit effect includes a variation pattern P5 selected when the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game are determined. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the same variation pattern P5 is selected when the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game are determined, and the effect contents of the symbol variable game are the same content. (Same variation time).

  Note that the jackpot effect performed based on the variation patterns P3 and P4 is a jackpot effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally subjected to the reach effect, and finally the symbol combination of the jackpot is confirmed and stopped. The jackpot effect performed based on the variation pattern P5 is a jackpot effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is subjected to the reach effect, and finally the symbol combination suggested by the probability variation is displayed in a fixed stop state. Further, the loss reach effect performed based on the variation pattern P2 is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect and finally the symbol combination of deviation. Also, the outlier effect performed based on the variation pattern P1 is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed without the reach effect. In the reach production, in the symbol variation game using the ornamental design of the production display device 28, after the reach symbol combination is formed, the symbol combination (the jackpot symbol combination, the symbol combination that suggests the probability change, or the off symbol combination) is finally performed. It is an effect performed until it is derived. Further, in the special symbol display device 30, when the symbol variation game is started, the variation of the symbol is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect. Further, the off-line effect performed based on the fluctuation pattern P1 for off-line effect varies after the start of the symbol variation game according to a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column). This is an off-line effect that stops symbols and derives symbols in each column. In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P2 to P5 are specific variation patterns.

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P5 will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the pattern of jackpot effect for performing reach variation is associated with the variation patterns P2 to P5. In these variation patterns P2 to P5, a game display pattern (reach effect) having the same development can be identified as a game display pattern for identifying a specific display effect content for developing the symbol variation game. Thus, game display patterns of the same type can be specified. Further, in these variation patterns P2 to P5, as a result of the same development depending on the game display pattern, only the symbol combination that is confirmed and stopped and the effect result that is finally derived are different, and the symbol combination is determined and stopped and The development until the final presentation result is derived is configured to be the same development. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P2 to P5, the symbol combination is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game even if the effect contents of the symbol variation game are visually recognized. Until the final presentation result is derived, the player determines which variation pattern the game is based on, such as a big hit effect and a missed reach production, or a type of jackpot game given in the case of a big win. Is not allowed to recognize.

  The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot determination, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number. For example, if the jackpot determination random number is set to 600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and two values are set as the jackpot determination value, The rate at which the determination is affirmative, that is, the jackpot winning probability is 2/600 (1/300). Note that the number of jackpot determination values is different between the normal state and the probability variation state, and the number of jackpot determination values is larger in the probability variation state. For example, in the normal state (non-probability changing state), when two values can be taken as the jackpot determination value, in the probability changing state, ten values can be taken as the jackpot determination value. As a result, in the probability variation state, the winning probability in the big hit determination becomes high.

Next, the sub general control board 46 will be described.
On the sub-general control board 46, an overall control CPU 46a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 46b for storing a control program for the overall control CPU 46a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A general control RAM 46c is provided. A general control ROM 46b and a general control RAM 46c are connected to the general control CPU 46a. The overall control CPU 46a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing for starting the symbol variation game).

  In addition to the control program, the overall control ROM 46b stores various tables to be referred to when determining various effects. Details of the various tables will be described later.

Next, the effect display control board 47 will be described.
The effect display control board 47 has a display control CPU 47a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 47b for storing a control program for the display control CPU 47a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A display control RAM 47c is provided. An effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is connected to the display control CPU 47a. Further, the display control CPU 47a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The display control ROM 47b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). The display control ROM 47b stores a table for specifying contents to be executed according to various effects instructed to be executed by the overall control CPU 46a.

  Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 45, the sub general control board 46, and the effect display control board 47 will be described. First, as control contents executed by the main control board 45, the sub control board 46, and the effect display control board 47, control contents related to the execution of the symbol variation game will be described.

  When the main control CPU 45a of the main control board 45 enters a game ball into the upper start winning port 33 or the lower start winning port 34 and inputs a detection signal output by the start port switches SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 45c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for special symbols <4), the main control CPU 45a adds 1 to the number of reserved memories for special symbols (+1), and sets the number of reserved memories for special symbols. rewrite. Further, when the main control CPU 45a makes a positive determination of the hold determination, the main control CPU 45a acquires the value of the big hit determination random number and the value of the big hit symbol random number from the main control RAM 45c, and the acquired value of the big hit determination random number The value of the random number for the jackpot symbol is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 45c in association with the reserved memory number for the special symbol. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of stored memories = 4), the main control CPU 45a does not rewrite the number of reserved memories for the special symbol exceeding the upper limit, and Do not get the value of the random number for the jackpot symbol.

  When the main control CPU 45a is not in the big hit game and the symbol variation game is not being executed, the value of the big hit determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 45c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game. Are compared, and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 45b is compared with the big hit determination random number for determining whether or not it is a big hit (big hit lottery). When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for big hit determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 45a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 45a which has determined the big hit determines the big hit symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device 30 based on the value of the random number for the big hit symbol. As shown in FIG. 3, the special symbol jackpot symbol is assigned to each type of jackpot game, and therefore the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. The main control CPU 45a that has determined the big hit symbol stores the determined big hit symbol in the main control RAM 45c. Further, the main control CPU 45a that has determined the big hit acquires the random pattern distribution random number value from the main control RAM 45c, and selects and determines the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the value from the fluctuation patterns for the big hit effect. To do. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 45a selects the variation patterns P3 and P4 as the variation patterns for the big hit effect when determining the special symbol A as the big hit symbol during the application of the improved entrance rate. On the other hand, when the special symbols B and C are determined as the jackpot symbol, the variation pattern P5 can be selected as the variation pattern for the jackpot effect.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 45a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 45a which has determined the disengagement determines a dissatisfied symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 30. In addition, the main control CPU 45a which has determined the detachment determines whether or not to execute the detachment effect by random lottery. When this determination result is affirmative (execution of the divergence reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 45a acquires the value of the random number for variability pattern distribution from the main control RAM 45c, and divides the variation pattern corresponding to the value into the leaching reach effect. Select from the variation patterns for use. In the present embodiment, when the main control CPU 45a determines the outlier design and the execution of the outlier reach effect during the application of the improved entrance rate, the variation pattern as the outlier reach effect variation pattern. P2 can be selected. On the other hand, if the determination result of whether or not to execute the outlier reach effect is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main control CPU 45a acquires the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 45c, The variation pattern corresponding to the value is selected and selected from the variation patterns for off-line production. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 45a determines the out-of-range design while determining the out-of-range reach effect while giving the improved entrance rate state, and the variation pattern P1 as the out-of-range effect variation pattern. Can be selected.

  The main control CPU 45a that has determined the special symbol and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the sub integrated control board 46 (the integrated control CPU 46a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 45a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. Next, the main control CPU 45a outputs a special symbol stop designating command for designating the special symbol. In the present embodiment, the stop symbol designating command when the jackpot symbol is designated as the special symbol is the jackpot symbol command. Then, the main control CPU 45a outputs a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, the main control CPU 45a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 45a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 30 with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 45a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and confirms and stops the special symbol (big hit symbol or off symbol) determined when the variation time determined in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Display.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 45a functions as a big hit determination unit and a variation pattern determination unit.
Next, the sub general control board 46 will be described.

  Upon input of the variation pattern designation command, the overall control CPU 46a of the sub overall control board 46 designates a game display pattern for specifying and instructing specific display effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designation command. The display pattern designation command to be output is output to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. The game display pattern is a pattern that can specify the variable display content (display effect content) of the symbol variation game. In the symbol variation game, the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) uses the game display pattern. The variable display contents are specified. In addition, when a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol is input and the big hit symbol is designated by the stop symbol designation command, the overall control CPU 46a controls the big hit symbol of the designated special symbol. This is stored in the RAM 46c. When the overall control CPU 46a inputs a symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 46a outputs the command to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. Then, since the one symbol variation game is finished, the overall control CPU 46a shifts to processing related to execution of the next symbol variation game.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a executes a symbol variation game executed on the effect display device 28 based on the variation pattern type designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command. The symbol combination of the decorative symbols derived in is determined. The central control CPU 46a, when a variation pattern for the big hit effect is designated and the designated special symbol is a big hit symbol corresponding to the 16R big hit game, the decorative symbols constituting the symbol combination that is finally stopped and displayed. The jackpot symbol combination ([111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777] [888]) is determined.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 2R probability variable big hit game and a 2R non-probable big hit game, the overall control CPU 46a determines a symbol combination that suggests probability variation as a symbol symbol combination.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the case of 2R probability variable big hit game, 2R non-probable big hit game, only the symbol combination of probability change suggestion can be determined. For this reason, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, in the 2R non-probability big hit game, the mode of these big hit games is made the same mode, and the display mode is not only from the game mode but also in the case where the application mode of the improved entrance rate is the same mode The player cannot recognize which of the big hit games is given from the display contents of 28.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a configures the symbol combination to be finally displayed in a definite stop when the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect or the outlier effect is designated and the stop symbol designation of the special symbol is a miss symbol. A slip-off symbol is determined as a decorative symbol. Then, the overall control CPU 46 a that has determined the decorative symbol outputs a stop symbol designation command for the decorative symbol that designates the decorative symbol to the effect display control board 47.

  Then, the overall control CPU 46a outputs to the effect display control board 47 a design designating command for designating the design design of each determined column. Further, when the overall control CPU 46 a inputs an all symbols stop command, it outputs the command to the effect display control board 47.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a probability change notification mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “probability change mode”) for notifying the player that the game state is a probability change state is executed in a mode. It is comprised so that execution is possible with the effect display apparatus 28 which is a means. Further, in the present embodiment, a chance mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “CH mode”) for notifying the player that the game state can be expected to be in a probabilistic state is an effect that is a mode execution means. The display device 28 is configured to be executable. Further, when the game mode is neither the probability change mode nor the CH mode, the normal mode effect (hereinafter, “ It is configured to be executable by the effect display device 28 serving as mode execution means. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, during the stay in the normal mode, the game state is actually a secret state in which the player does not know whether or not the probability change state, so the game state may be in the probability change state. Is not completely absent. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 28 causes the display mode (display effect) of the effect mode currently staying to be executed by causing the effect display device 28 to execute various types of various mode effects. The player is made aware of the type and informs whether or not he / she can have an expectation for being in the probability variation state, or informs that the probability variation state is present.

  The probability variation mode is an effect (mode) executed while the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are both given up to 10,000 times. In other words, the probability variation mode is an effect mode that can shift to a 16R jackpot game as a trigger. In addition, the CH mode is an effect (mode) that is executed when the entrance rate improvement state is applied and the entrance rate improvement state with the upper limit of 100 times is applied. In other words, the CH mode is an effect mode that can be triggered by 2R probability change big hit game and 2R non-probability big hit game, and a chance to improve the entrance rate is given by the big hit game as an opportunity. It is a production mode that can be shifted to the case of winning during grant). Note that in the CH mode, there are both lottery states of a probability variation state and a non-probability variation state. The normal mode is an effect (mode) that is executed while the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Note that, in the normal mode, there are both lottery states of a probability variation state and a non-probability variation state.

Next, transition modes of various modes as the game progresses will be described.
When a 16R jackpot game is won, the game changes to the probability change mode regardless of the production mode (probability change mode, CH mode, or normal mode). That is, as in the case of 16R jackpot game, when the entrance rate improvement state is given up to 10,000 times regardless of the game state at the time of winning as well as the probability change state, the game state after the end of the jackpot game is the probability change state. The effect change mode is executed by the effect display device 28 so as to be in a probability change notification state for notifying that. The probability variation mode is given when the next symbol variation game is started after the end of the 16R big hit game. That is, the overall control CPU 46a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the start of the probability change mode to each of the control boards 47 and 48 with the end of the 16R big hit game. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player of that effect by executing the effect mode in the probability variation mode.

  In addition, when staying in the probability variation mode, if the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game is won, the mode is shifted to the CH mode. While staying in the probability variation mode to which the entrance rate improvement state is given, after the 2R probability change big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game ends, the entrance rate improvement state is given at least up to the upper limit number of time-short states It has become. For this reason, whether or not the gaming state is in the probabilistic state based on the operation mode of the opening / closing blade 35 until the end of at least 100 symbol variation games after the end of the 2R probable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game. The player cannot be recognized. That is, when the player cannot recognize whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation state, such as a 2R probability variation big hit game or a 2R non-probability big hit game, the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is a probability variation state. In particular, the effect display device 28 is made to execute the CH mode so as to be in a probability-variation concealment state informing that it can be expected. It should be noted that the CH mode is given with the start of the next symbol variation game after the end of the first and second 2R probability variation big hit games or 2R non-probability big hit games during the stay in the probability variation mode. That is, the overall control CPU 46a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the start of the CH mode to each of the control boards 47 and 48 when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game ends while staying in the probability variation mode. As a result, in the effect display device 28, the effect mode in the CH mode is executed, so that the player is notified.

  In addition, when the 2R big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game are won while staying in the CH mode, the CH mode is continued. While staying in the CH mode where the entrance rate improvement state is granted, the entrance rate improvement state is always given continuously in both cases after the 2R probability variation big hit game and the 2R non-probability big hit game end. It has become. For this reason, the player recognizes whether or not the gaming state is the probability variation state from the operation mode of the opening and closing blades 35 after the transition from the probability variation mode to the CH mode until at least 100 symbol variation games have elapsed. It is not possible. That is, the overall control CPU 46a sends a mode designation command for instructing the start of the CH mode when the first and second 2R probability variable big hit games or 2R non-probable big hit games during the CH mode stay to each control board 47, Output to 48. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player to that effect by continuing the effect mode in the CH mode.

  Further, the CH mode is continued while the entrance rate improvement state is applied, and the entrance rate improvement state is not applied from the state where the entrance rate improvement state is applied. The game mode is shifted to the normal mode on the condition that the game state shifts to the normal mode. For example, when winning the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game in the 20th symbol variation game after transitioning to the CH mode, the entrance rate will be with the end of the 100th symbol variation game from that win As soon as the improvement state is given, the mode changes to the normal mode. That is, when the player is still unable to recognize whether or not the game state is a probabilistic state so that the entrance rate improvement state is ended during the stay in the CH mode, Even if it exists, it will be in the probability change concealment state which alert | reports that it can have an expectation that the game state after completion | finish of these jackpot games is a probability change state. In addition, the normal mode is provided with the start of the next symbol variation game after the completion of the application of the entrance rate improvement state. That is, the overall control CPU 46a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the start of the normal mode to each of the control boards 47 and 48 with the completion of the application of the entrance rate improvement state during the CH mode stay. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player of that effect by executing the effect mode in the normal mode.

When a 2R probability variable big hit game and a 2R non-probable big hit game are awarded during the stay in the normal mode, the normal mode is continued as it is.
Hereinafter, a game display pattern determination mode for specifying and instructing a specific display effect content of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described. The game display pattern is a pattern that can specify the variable display content (display effect content) of the symbol in the symbol variable game. In the symbol variable game, the variable display content is specified by the game display pattern.

Here, the description will focus on the manner of determining the game display pattern according to the variation patterns P1 to P5 during the stay in the probability variation mode.
When the change control designation command is input from the main control CPU 45a, the overall control CPU 46a selects a game display pattern constituting the symbol change game based on the input command.

First, the effect flow showing the flow of the effect of the symbol variation game during the stay in the probability variation mode will be described based on FIG.
In the symbol variation game while staying in the probability variation mode, a game display pattern (special display pattern) classified into the first system that is divided roughly at the branch point JC1 and a game display pattern (normally classified as the second system). Display pattern). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the game display pattern classified as the first system, the four characters of the character who are the motifs of the pachinko gaming machine 10 face each other against the enemy (partner) character. By deriving the winning or losing of the confrontation of the fellow character, the pattern suggests that a big hit (especially a 16R big hit game in the first system) is given. And in the game display pattern classified into the 1st system, it is developed based on the production contents of any of the 4 types of 1st type-4th type production for every fellow character, and finally derives "Victory" There are a game display pattern HP1 to be played and a game display pattern HP2 to finally derive the effect of “defeat”. In the game display patterns HP1 and HP2, it is specified that the “win” or “defeat” is finally derived, and any of the first to fourth type effects can appear. . Therefore, in the game display pattern that identifies the development of the first system, there are four types (plural types) for each of the first to fourth type effects that appear, and two types (plural types) of “win” and “defeat”. There will be a total of 8 types (plural types) of game display patterns for deriving effect results.

  Further, in the game display patterns classified into the second system, the game display pattern (second normal display pattern) further classified into the A pattern (first type development) branched at the branch point JC2 and the B pattern (first pattern). There are game display patterns (first normal display patterns) classified into two types). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the game display pattern classified as the second system, the character that is the motif of the pachinko gaming machine 10 appears and confronts the enemy (partner) character to become the motif. By deriving the winning or losing of the confrontation of a certain character, it is a pattern that suggests the grant of a big hit (all big hit games in the second pattern A pattern, 16R big hit game in the B pattern).

  In addition, in the game display pattern classified as the second pattern A pattern, the character that is the motif is subjected to the preemptive attack, while in the game display pattern classified as the second pattern B pattern, the motif The character that has become the development that gives the first strike. In the game display patterns classified into the second system and further classified into the A pattern, the game display pattern HP3 that finally derives the effect of “winning” as a result of the character being the motif being subjected to the first strike. There is. In addition, the game display patterns classified into the second system and further classified into the A pattern include a game display pattern HP4 that can withstand the opponent's attack and ultimately derive the “draw” effect, and the opponent's attack In response to this, there is a game display pattern HP5 that finally derives an effect result of “defeat”. In the present embodiment, the game display patterns HP1, HP3, HP6, and HP8, which can be determined based on the variation pattern P4, are game display patterns HP2, HP5, and HP7 that finally derive the effect result of the failure pattern with the same development. , HP 9 in the same manner until the production result is derived, and the pattern is obtained by reversing immediately before the production result is derived and deriving the production result of the successful pattern. That is, the game display patterns HP1, HP6, and HP8 that can be determined by both of the variation patterns P3 and P4 are developments that are directly used as success patterns in the symbol variation game executed based on the variation pattern P3. In the symbol variation game executed based on this, it is a development in which a success pattern is reversed just before deriving an effect result while pretending to be a failure pattern.

  Further, the game display patterns classified into the B pattern of the second system include a game display pattern further classified into a C pattern and a game display pattern classified into a D pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the game display pattern classified into the second pattern B pattern and further into the C pattern, the character that is the motif of the pachinko gaming machine 10 appears and the enemy castle gate It is a pattern that suggests giving a big hit (16R big hit game) by deriving the victory or defeat (whether or not it broke through the castle gate) of the character that is the motif, in a mode in which a first strike is entered. In addition, in the game display patterns classified into the second pattern B pattern and further classified into the D pattern, the characters that are the motifs of the pachinko gaming machine 10 appear and row the enemy (the opponent) characters one after another. It is a pattern that gives a big hit (16R big hit game) by deriving the winning and losing of the character that is the motif (whether all the enemy characters have been defeated) or not. The game display patterns classified into the B pattern of the second system and further classified into the C pattern include a game display pattern HP6 for finally deriving an effect result of “win”, and an effect of “defeat” finally. There is a game display pattern HP7 for deriving a result. In addition, the game display patterns classified into the B pattern of the second system and further classified into the D pattern include a game display pattern HP8 that finally derives an effect result of “win”, and an effect of “defeat” finally. There is a game display pattern HP9 for deriving a result.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by providing the game display patterns HP1 to HP9 that specify a plurality of types of production paths and production results, the symbol variation game is performed so as to be developed with a plurality of types of production routes and production results. It will be.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the development based on the game display pattern HP1 is followed when the big hit lottery is won and the 16R big hit game is determined. That is, the game display pattern HP1 is a game display pattern that can be selected when the variation patterns P3 and P4 are determined. Further, since the development based on the game display pattern HP1 is executed prior to the grant of the 16R big hit game, it is a pattern for notifying the player that the probability variation mode continues.

  Further, the development based on the game display pattern HP2 is followed when a shift is determined without winning the big win lottery. That is, the game display pattern HP2 is a game display pattern that can be selected when the variation pattern P2 is determined. Further, the development based on the game display pattern HP2 is executed before the probability change state continues without shifting to the gaming state, so that the player is notified that the probability change mode will continue. is there. Therefore, the development based on the game display patterns HP1 and HP2 classified as the first system is a pattern for notifying the player that the probability variation mode continues.

  Further, the development based on the game display pattern HP3 is followed when the big hit lottery is won and the 16R big hit game is determined. That is, the game display pattern HP3 is a game display pattern that can be selected when the variation pattern P4 is determined. Further, since the development based on the game display pattern HP3 is executed prior to the grant of the 16R big hit game, it is a pattern for notifying the player that the probability variation mode will continue.

  Further, the development based on the game display pattern HP4 is followed when a shift is determined without winning the big win lottery. That is, the game display pattern HP4 is a game display pattern that can be selected when the variation pattern P2 is determined. Further, since the development based on the game display pattern HP4 is executed before the probability change state continues without being shifted and the game state is not shifted, it is a pattern for notifying the player that the probability change mode is continued. is there.

  Further, the development based on the game display pattern HP5 is followed when the big hit lottery is won and the 2R probability variable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game is determined. That is, the game display pattern HP5 is a game display pattern that can be selected when the variation pattern P5 is determined. Further, since the development based on the game display pattern HP5 is executed prior to the granting of the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game, it is a pattern informing the player that the probability variation mode is ended and the CH mode is shifted. is there.

  Therefore, the development based on the game display patterns HP3 to HP5 classified into the second system and further classified into the A pattern is the case where the player is informed that the probability variation mode continues, and the probability variation mode ends and the CH mode is entered. There are cases where the player is notified of the transition. Further, the development based on the game display pattern HP5 classified as the second system and further classified into the A pattern can end the probability variation state (shift to the non-probability variation state) in the development of the symbol variation game while staying in the probability variation mode. It is the only development where sex exists.

  Further, the development based on the game display patterns HP6 and HP8 is followed when the big hit lottery is won and the 16R big hit game is determined. That is, the game display patterns HP6 and HP8 are game display patterns that can be selected when the variation patterns P3 and P4 are determined. Further, since the development based on the game display patterns HP6 and HP8 is executed prior to the grant of the 16R big hit game, it is a pattern for notifying the player that the probability variation mode will continue.

  Further, the development based on the game display patterns HP7 and HP9 is followed when the shift is determined without winning the big win lottery. That is, the game display patterns HP7 and HP9 are game display patterns that can be selected when the variation pattern P2 is determined. Further, since the development based on the game display patterns HP7 and HP9 is executed before the probability change state continues without being shifted and the game state is not shifted, the player is notified that the probability change mode is continued. It is a pattern. Therefore, the development based on the game display patterns HP6 to HP9 classified into the second system and further classified into the B pattern (C pattern and D pattern) is a pattern for notifying the player that the probability variation mode continues.

Next, an aspect in which the overall control CPU 46a determines the game display pattern based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a selects a game display pattern distribution table based on the storage content (setting content) of individual information (status information) stored in the overall control RAM 46c. The game display pattern is determined according to the selected game display pattern distribution table. In the present embodiment, the individual information refers to the production contents of the first to fourth type effects that can appear in the development classified into the first system, and the game display is included in the development classified into the first system. This is information (such as a flag) indicating the type of effect content that has appeared on the condition that the pattern HP1 (becomes “win”) is determined. In the present embodiment, individual display information indicating the type of information stored as individual information is displayed on the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH). The type and number of individual information stored in the person are notified. In addition, as the individual display information, the type of individual information can be changed by displaying (related) family crests, weapons, etc. related to the characters appearing in the first to fourth type effects corresponding to each individual information. Informing the player.

  Then, the overall control CPU 46a determines the game display pattern HP1, and when selecting the effect content from the first type to the fourth type effect in accordance with the determination, information (flag) indicating the selected effect content. Etc.) are stored (set) in the overall control RAM 46c as individual information. That is, by storing the individual information in the overall control RAM 46c, the execution history of the symbol variation game based on the game display pattern serving as the development of the first system corresponding to the stored individual information is stored. The individual information is configured with information that can specify each of the first type to the fourth type effect of the first system, and the stored individual information corresponds to any of the first type to the fourth type effect. It is information that can be specified. Then, the overall control CPU 46a stores individual information corresponding to each of the first type to the fourth type effects based on the game display pattern HP1 in the overall control RAM 46c. Further, when newly storing individual information in the overall control RAM 46c, the overall control CPU 46a outputs an individual information display command indicating the storage to each of the control boards 47 and 48. With the individual information display command, the type of individual information newly stored as individual information in the overall control RAM 46c can be specified. As a result, on the effect display device 28, individual display information based on the newly stored individual information is displayed as an image at a predetermined timing (in this embodiment, with the end of the 16R big hit game). Thereby, the player recognizes that the individual information is newly stored.

  In the present embodiment, during the period in which the individual information is stored and held, the same type of effect content is not determined as the effect content of the game display pattern HP1, and one piece of individual information is stored as the individual information. They are stored one by one, and the same individual information is not stored repeatedly. For this reason, in this embodiment, the individual information stored in the overall control RAM 46c is stored as an upper limit to store a total of four types (four) each corresponding to the first type to the fourth effect. It has become.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a can newly store the individual information only during the stay in the probability variation mode, and cumulatively store the individual information while staying in the probability variation mode. Once the overall control CPU 46a stores the individual information in the overall control RAM 46c, the stored information is stored until the transition from the effect mode to the probability change mode to the normal mode via the CH mode. The memory is continuously held. Then, the overall control CPU 46a clears the individual information stored in the overall control RAM 46c (resets to a state in which nothing is stored) with the transition to the normal mode. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the probability variation mode and the CH mode are continued, and during the so-called “renchu” during the continuous granting of the entry rate improvement state, Information can be stored and retained continuously. In addition, after the transition to the CH mode, the individual information is continuously stored and retained even when the transition to the probability change mode is made again when the 16R big hit game is won again. In the present embodiment, since the game display pattern HP1 can be determined only during stay in the probability change mode, the period during which the individual information can be newly stored is staying in the probability change mode, and the individual information is stored. The retention period is staying in the probability variation mode and the CH mode. That is, in this embodiment, not only a predetermined period during which individual information can be newly stored (during stay in the probability variation mode) but also a special period during which individual information can be continuously stored (during stay in the CH mode) In the special period, the individual information is continuously stored as it is without being newly stored.

  When determining the game display pattern, the overall control CPU 46a checks the individual information stored in the overall control RAM 46c, and determines the game display pattern according to the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5 corresponding to the individual information. . Then, the overall control CPU 46a executes random number lottery based on random numbers based on the type of the variation pattern designated in the variation pattern designation command (and the special symbol designated in the special symbol stop symbol designation command).

  If no individual information is stored in the overall control RAM 46c, the overall control CPU 46a selects and determines a game display pattern according to the game display pattern distribution table GT1 shown in FIG.

  In the game display pattern distribution table GT1, for each type of variation pattern (based on the type of special symbol), a numerical value that can be taken by a random number (251 integers in this embodiment) is “HP1 (game display pattern HP1). ) "To" HP9 (game display pattern HP9) ".

  For example, in the game display pattern distribution table GT1, when the variation pattern P3 for jackpot effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), 100 random numbers are assigned to “HP1” Random numbers are assigned to “HP6” and 51 random numbers are assigned to “HP8”. For this reason, in the game display pattern distribution table GT1, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), the probability that “HP1” is selected is 100/251. The probability that “HP6” is selected is assigned to 100/251, and the probability that “HP8” is selected is assigned to 51/251.

  Further, when one type of individual information among the first to fourth types of effects is stored in the overall control RAM 46c, the overall control CPU 46a displays the game display pattern distribution table GT2 shown in FIG. 8B. Therefore, the game display pattern is selected and determined. Note that FIG. 8B is an excerpt only of the portion related to the variation patterns P2 to P4 that are different from the game display pattern distribution table GT1 of FIG.

  In the game display pattern distribution table GT2, for each type of variation pattern (based on the type of special symbol), a numerical value that can be taken by a random number (251 integers in this embodiment) is “HP1 (game display pattern HP1). ) "To" HP9 (game display pattern HP9) ".

  For example, in the game display pattern distribution table GT2, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), the 90 random numbers are set to “HP1” and the 110 Random numbers are assigned to “HP6” and 51 random numbers are assigned to “HP8”. For this reason, in the game display pattern distribution table GT2, the probability that “HP1” is selected is 90/251 when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is specified (when the special symbol A is specified). The probability that “HP6” is selected is assigned to 110/251, and the probability that “HP8” is selected is assigned to 51/251.

  Further, when two types of individual information among the first to fourth types of effects are stored in the overall control RAM 46c, the overall control CPU 46a stores the game display pattern distribution table GT3 shown in FIG. 8C. Therefore, the game display pattern is selected and determined. FIG. 8C is an excerpt only of portions relating to the variation patterns P2 to P4 having different random number distribution modes from the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 and GT2 of FIGS. 8A and 8B.

  In the game display pattern allocation table GT3, for each type of variation pattern (based on the type of special symbol), a numerical value that can be taken by a random number (251 integers in this embodiment) is “HP1 (game display pattern HP1). ) "To" HP9 (game display pattern HP9) ".

  For example, in the game display pattern distribution table GT2, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), the 70 random numbers are set to “HP1” and 130 pieces of random numbers are designated. Random numbers are assigned to “HP6” and 51 random numbers are assigned to “HP8”. For this reason, in the game display pattern distribution table GT3, when the variation pattern P3 for jackpot effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), the probability that “HP1” is selected is 70/251. The probability that “HP6” is selected is assigned to 130/251, and the probability that “HP8” is selected is assigned to 51/251.

  Further, when three types of individual information among the first to fourth types of effects are stored in the overall control RAM 46c, the overall control CPU 46a stores the game display pattern distribution table GT2 shown in FIG. 8D. Therefore, the game display pattern is selected and determined. Note that FIG. 8D is an excerpt only of portions related to the variation patterns P2 to P4 that are different from the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT3 of FIGS.

  In the game display pattern distribution table GT4, for each type of variation pattern (based on the type of special symbol), a numerical value that can be taken by a random number (251 integers in this embodiment) is “HP1 (game display pattern HP1). ) "To" HP9 (game display pattern HP9) ".

  For example, in the game display pattern allocation table GT4, when the big hit effect variation pattern P3 is specified (when the special symbol A is specified), the random number of 64 is set to “HP1” and 137 Random numbers are assigned to “HP6” and 50 random numbers are assigned to “HP8”. For this reason, in the game display pattern distribution table GT4, when the variation pattern P3 for jackpot effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), the probability that “HP1” is selected is 64/251. The probability that “HP6” is selected is assigned to 137/251, and the probability that “HP8” is selected is assigned to 50/251.

  In addition, when all of the four types of individual information of the first type to the fourth type effect are stored in the overall control RAM 46c, the overall control CPU 46a displays the game display pattern distribution table GT5 shown in FIG. Therefore, the game display pattern is selected and determined. FIG. 8 (e) is an excerpt only of portions related to the variation patterns P2 to P4 different from the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT4 of FIGS. 8 (a) to (d).

  In the game display pattern allocation table GT5, for each type of variation pattern (based on the type of special symbol), a numerical value that can be taken by a random number (in this embodiment, 251 different integers in total) is “HP1 (game display pattern HP1). ) "To" HP9 (game display pattern HP9) ".

  For example, in the game display pattern distribution table GT5, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), 192 pieces of random numbers are set to “HP1”. Random numbers are assigned to “HP6” and 59 random numbers are assigned to “HP8”. Therefore, in the game display pattern distribution table GT5, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is designated (when the special symbol A is designated), the probability that “HP1” is selected is 0/251. The probability that “HP6” is selected is assigned to 192/251, and the probability that “HP8” is selected is assigned to 59/251.

  In the present embodiment, in the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5, the types of individual information stored in the overall control RAM 46c increase as shown in parentheses for each numerical value in FIGS. The number of random numbers assigned to the game display patterns HP1 and HP2 classified as the first system is decreasing. On the other hand, in the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5, as shown in parentheses of each numerical value in FIGS. 8B to 8E, the types of individual information stored in the overall control RAM 46c increase. The number of random numbers assigned to the game display patterns HP6 and HP7 classified into the second system B pattern increases. Further, in the game display pattern distribution table GT5, as shown in FIG. 8E, the game display patterns HP1 and HP2 classified as the first system are not selected at all (random numbers are not distributed). It has become. For this reason, in the present embodiment, as the types of individual information stored in the overall control RAM 46c increase, the game display patterns HP1 and HP2 classified as the first system are less likely to be selected. In a state where all types are prepared, selection of the game display patterns HP1 and HP2 classified as the first system is restricted (not selected).

  In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a selects and determines the game display pattern for the normal variation during the probability variation mode when the variation pattern designated in the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern P1. It has become.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the ratio of the development that appears in the symbol variation game by changing the determination mode of the game display pattern according to the storage mode of individual information (the mode of establishment of the predetermined condition). Is changing.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a displays each game display pattern between the probability change mode and the CH mode (from the time when the probability change mode is entered until the time when the normal mode is entered). It is possible to store the appearance history. That is, in the present embodiment, the individual information and the appearance history can be continuously stored and held for the same period. The overall control CPU 46a stores the appearance history of each game display pattern, with the period from the transition to the probability change mode to the transition to the normal mode as a history storage period. The overall control CPU 46a clears each appearance history when the mode is changed to the normal mode, and stores each appearance history again when the mode is changed to the probability change mode.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a determines the game display patterns once selected in the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5 when determining each game display pattern in a period in which a predetermined condition is satisfied during the history storage period. Correction control for correcting various appearance rates by executing reselection according to the various appearance rates calculated from the appearance history of the game display pattern is executed. Then, the overall control CPU 46a executes the correction control at the time of losing and the correction control at the time of the big hit according to the result of the big hit lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition for executing each correction control is that the probability change mode is continued on the condition that the 16R jackpot game that triggers the transition to the probability change mode is a specific jackpot game and the probability change mode continues. Three (predetermined) jackpot games, including the 16R jackpot game (specific jackpot game) that triggered the mode entry, are terminated, and all four types of individual information are not stored in the overall control RAM 46c. That is. In the present embodiment, when the game display pattern is determined based on the variation pattern P1 and the variation pattern P5, the selected game display pattern is determined and instructed as it is. In the present embodiment, when all four types of individual information are stored, the game display pattern that forcibly identifies the first system is not selected, and therefore, “all four types of individual information are not stored” as a predetermined condition. Is set.

  In the present embodiment, the correction control is executed for the game display patterns HP1, HP2, HP4, HP6 to HP9 other than the game display patterns HP3 and HP5. In the present embodiment, when the game display patterns HP3 and HP5 are determined, the selected game display pattern is determined and designated as it is.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the correction control, each pattern of each system and the second system according to various appearance rates based on the appearance history of each game display pattern HP1, HP2, HP4, HP6 to HP9. And the percentage of victory (or defeat) at the time of appearance of each pattern and each pattern of each system and the second system are calculated, and the various appearance ratios are brought close to a predetermined standard appearance ratio (specified value). to correct. In addition, each specified value used as a reference in the present embodiment is an appearance rate set in the development stage in consideration of characteristics of various effects in the pachinko gaming machine 10, and is a game performance and a jackpot probability of the pachinko gaming machine. The specific numerical value of each specified value that appears in the present embodiment is an example.

Next, the processing mode of the correction control will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 9, the overall control CPU 46a classifies the game display patterns into a plurality of categories (seven types in the present embodiment) and counts the number of appearances for each category as shown in FIG. An appearance history is memorized. In this embodiment, the appearance history of the game display pattern HP7 is stored as the category a, the appearance history of the game display pattern HP9 is stored as the category b, the appearance history of the game display pattern HP4 is stored as the category c, and the category d is stored as the category d. An appearance history of the game display pattern HP2 is stored. In the present embodiment, the appearance history of the game display pattern HP6 is stored as the category e, the appearance history of the game display pattern HP8 is stored as the category f, and the appearance history of the game display pattern HP1 is stored as the category g. Then, the overall control CPU 46a calculates a predetermined appearance rate as a percentage (%) from each appearance history classified into each of these categories, and executes correction control of each appearance rate using the calculated appearance rate as a parameter. It is like that. In the present embodiment, the appearance rate calculated by the parameters is various appearance rates in each effect route and effect result.

Next, each parameter used in the correction control will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control CPU 46a uses the categories a and e as the parameter A to calculate the “ratio of victory when the second system C pattern appears”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a calculates the appearance rate ((category e) / ((category a) + (category e)) × 100 (%)) of the game display pattern HP6 among the game display patterns HP6 and HP7. Note that the appearance rate by the parameter A is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP6 under the condition “out of the appearances of the second system C pattern”. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 46a uses the categories a and e as parameters (1-A) to calculate the “ratio of defeat when the second pattern C pattern appears”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate ((1− (category e) / ((category a) + (category e))) × 100 (%) of the game display patterns HP7 and HP7. Is calculated. Note that the appearance rate by the parameter (1-A) is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP7 under the condition “out of the appearances of the second system C pattern”.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a uses the categories b and f as the parameter B to calculate the “ratio of victory when the second pattern D pattern appears”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a calculates the appearance rate ((category f) / ((category b) + (category f)) × 100 (%)) of the game display pattern HP8 among the game display patterns HP8 and HP9. The appearance rate by the parameter B is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP8 under the condition “out of the appearances of the second system D pattern”. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 46a uses the categories b and f as parameters (1-B) to calculate the “ratio of defeat when the second pattern D pattern appears”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a, among the game display patterns HP8 and HP9, the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP9 ((1- (category f) / ((category b) + (category f))) × 100 (%)). Is calculated. The appearance rate by the parameter (1-B) is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP9 under the condition “out of the appearances of the D pattern of the second system”.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a uses the categories d and g as the parameter C to calculate the “ratio of victory when the first system appears”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a calculates the appearance rate ((category g) / ((category d) + (category g)) × 100 (%)) of the game display pattern HP1 among the game display patterns HP1 and HP2. Note that the appearance rate by the parameter C is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP1 under the condition “out of the first system”. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 46a calculates the “ratio of defeat at the appearance of the first system” using the categories d and g as the parameter (1-C). That is, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate of the game display pattern HP2 of the game display patterns HP1 and HP2 ((1- (category g) / ((category d) + (category g))) × 100 (%)). Is calculated. It should be noted that the appearance rate by the parameter (1-C) is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP2 under the condition “out of the first system”.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a uses the categories a, b, c, and d as the parameter I to calculate “the ratio of the A pattern of the second system in the time of disconnection”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate of ((category c) / ((category a) + (category b) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + (category c) + ( Category d)) × 100 (%)) is calculated. Note that the appearance rate by the parameter I is the appearance rate of the game display pattern HP4 under the condition of “out of time”. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 46a uses the categories a, b, c, and d as the parameter (1-I) to calculate “a ratio of non-second pattern other than the A pattern of the second system”. That is, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate ((1− (category c) / ((category a) + (category a) + (category b) + (category c) +) of the game display patterns HP2, HP4, HP7, HP9) other than the game display pattern HP4. c) + (category d))) × 100 (%)). The appearance rate by the parameter (1-I) is an appearance rate other than the game display pattern HP4 (game display patterns HP2, HP7, HP9) under the condition of “out of time”.

Next, correction control at the time of disconnection will be described.
The overall control CPU 46a is based on the storage mode of the individual information when selecting the game display pattern when the variation pattern P2 is specified during the history storage period and the special symbol corresponding to the deviation is specified. A game display pattern is temporarily selected according to the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5. Subsequently, the overall control CPU 46a confirms which game display pattern is the selected game display pattern, and executes correction control at the time of loss using the type and the appearance rate calculated by each parameter. .

  In the correction control at the time of disconnection, when the game display pattern once selected is the game display pattern HP4 that specifies the A pattern of the second system, the overall control CPU 46a sets the parameter I (“A of the second system at the time of disconnection”). The appearance rate calculated as the “pattern ratio”) is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the appearance rate is equal to or higher than a predetermined value for I. That is, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the second pattern A pattern (first type development) is selected when the deviation is determined, and the second system A pattern (first type development). The first type expansion determination for determining whether or not the appearance rate is equal to or higher than the corresponding specified value for I (whether it is equal to or higher than the specified value) is executed.

  If the determination result of the first type expansion determination is affirmative and the appearance rate by the parameter I is equal to or greater than the specified value for I, the overall control CPU 46a satisfies the conditions that are satisfied based on the expansion distribution table shown in FIG. The first type expansion reselection lottery (random number lottery) using random numbers is executed according to (here, the first type expansion determination is affirmative determination). The overall control CPU 46a determines “many A patterns” by making an affirmative determination of the first type development determination. Then, the overall control CPU 46a reselects and determines the game display pattern instead of the game display pattern once selected in accordance with the “Many A patterns” field according to the satisfied condition. The overall control CPU 46a does not execute the first type expansion reselection lottery when the determination result of the first type expansion determination is negative and the appearance rate by the parameter I is lower than the prescribed value for I. The game display pattern once selected is determined as it is.

  In the “A pattern many” column of the development distribution table, a predetermined number of numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (total of 251 integers in the present embodiment) are respectively assigned to “HP2”, “HP7”, and “HP9”. It is distributed. In the “A pattern many” column of the development distribution table, the probability that “HP2” is selected is 5/251, the probability that “HP7” is selected is 100/251, and the probability that “HP9” is selected. Is assigned to 45/251, while random numbers are not assigned to “HP4”.

  In this embodiment, in the “A pattern many” column of the development distribution table, as shown in FIG. 11, when the A pattern of the second system at the time of loss is selected, the appearance rate by the parameter I is equal to or greater than the prescribed value for I. In this case, the game display patterns HP7 and HP9 (second system B pattern) are easily reselected, and the game display pattern HP4 is not reselected. In other words, in the “A pattern many” column of the development distribution table, when the A pattern of the second system at the time of disconnection is selected, if the appearance rate by the parameter I is equal to or greater than the prescribed value for I, except for the game display pattern HP4 It comes to re-select. As described above, in the correction control at the time of deviation in the present embodiment, when it is determined that “the number of A patterns is large”, the appearance of the A pattern of the second system is forcibly restricted to cause other developments to appear. As a result, the appearance rate due to the parameter I is reduced, so that the appearance rate due to the parameter I is corrected so as to approach the prescribed value for I.

  Further, in the correction control at the time of disconnection, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the game display pattern once selected is the game display pattern HP2 that specifies the first system, or the game display patterns HP7 and HP9 that specify the B pattern of the second system. If it is, the appearance rate calculated as the parameter (1-I) (“the proportion other than the A pattern of the second system in the time of loss”) is confirmed, and the appearance rate is for (1-I) determined in advance It is determined whether or not the value is equal to or greater than the specified value. That is, when the deviation is determined, the overall control CPU 46a selects the second system B pattern (second type development) or the first system other than the second system A pattern (first type development). (1-I) corresponding to the appearance rate of the second pattern B pattern (second type development) and the first system) other than the second pattern A pattern (first type development) The second-type expansion primary determination for determining whether or not the value is equal to or higher than the specified value (whether or not equal to or higher than the specified value) is executed. In the present embodiment, not only the appearance rate of the second type development (the B pattern of the second system) but also the control for correcting the appearance rate of the first system is executed by the second type development primary determination.

  When the result of the second type primary deployment determination is affirmative and the appearance rate based on the parameter (1-I) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-I), the overall control CPU 46a has the deployment vibration shown in FIG. Based on the minute table, the second type expansion primary reselection lottery (random number lottery) using random numbers is executed according to the satisfied condition (here, the second type expansion primary determination is affirmative determination). The overall control CPU 46a relatively determines “A pattern is low” by making an affirmative determination of the second type development primary determination. Then, the overall control CPU 46a reselects and determines the game display pattern instead of the game display pattern once selected in accordance with the “small A pattern” field according to the satisfied condition. The overall control CPU 46a determines that the second type expansion primary determination is negative, and the second rate is determined to be second if the appearance rate by the parameter (1-I) is lower than the specified value for (1-I). Without executing the seed expansion primary reselection lottery, the second type expansion secondary determination (second type expansion secondary reselection lottery) to be described later is executed to correct and control the appearance rate of more detailed expansion. Yes.

  In the “less A pattern” field of the development distribution table, a predetermined number of numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (total of 251 integers in the present embodiment) are assigned to “HP4”, “HP7”, and “HP9” respectively. It is distributed. In the “A pattern low” column of the development distribution table, the probability of selecting “HP4” is 236/251, the probability of selecting “HP7” is 10/251, and the probability of selecting “HP9”. Are assigned to 5/251, while random numbers are not assigned to “HP2”.

  In this embodiment, in the “A pattern low” column of the development distribution table, as shown in FIG. 11, when selecting a pattern other than the A pattern of the second system at the time of loss, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-I) is ( When the value is equal to or greater than the specified value for 1-I), the game display pattern HP4 (second pattern A pattern) is most easily reselected. In other words, in the “low A pattern” column of the development distribution table, as shown in FIG. 11, when selecting a pattern other than the A pattern of the second system at the time of loss, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-I) is (1- When the value is equal to or greater than the prescribed value for I), it is difficult to select the B pattern of the second system, and the first system is not selected. As described above, in the correction control at the time of deviation in the present embodiment, when it is determined that “A pattern is low”, by performing reselection so that the appearance of the A pattern of the second system can be increased, As a result of reducing the appearance rate by the parameter (1-I), correction is executed so that the appearance rate approaches the prescribed value for (1-I).

  Further, in the correction control at the time of disconnection, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the determination result of the second type expansion primary determination is negative, and the second type expansion secondary determination is performed in order to correct and control the appearance rate of more detailed expansion. Execute. Then, the overall control CPU 46a executes processing according to the type of the game display pattern once selected.

  In the second type expansion secondary determination, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the parameter (1-A) (“second system C pattern” is the game display pattern HP7 that identifies the C pattern among the second system B patterns. The appearance rate calculated as “the ratio of defeat at the time of appearance”) is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the appearance rate is equal to or greater than a predetermined value for (1-A). That is, when the deviation is determined, the overall control CPU 46a corresponds to the appearance rate of the C pattern of the second system on the condition that the C pattern is further selected from the B pattern of the second system (1 -A) The second type expansion secondary determination for determining whether or not the value is equal to or greater than the specified value (whether or not equal to or higher than the specified value) is executed.

  If the determination result of the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-A) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-A), the overall control CPU 46a performs the expansion shown in FIG. Based on the distribution table, the second type expansion secondary reselection lottery (random number lottery) using random numbers is executed according to the satisfied condition (here, the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative determination). The overall control CPU 46a determines “many C patterns” by affirming the second type development secondary determination. Then, the overall control CPU 46a re-selects and determines the game display pattern instead of the game display pattern once selected in accordance with the “many C patterns” field according to the satisfied condition. The overall control CPU 46a determines that the second type expansion secondary determination result is negative and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-A) is lower than the specified value for (1-A). The game display pattern once selected is determined as it is without executing the two-type development re-selection lottery.

  In the column “Many C Patterns” of the development distribution table, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (total of 251 different integers in this embodiment) are assigned to “HP2” and “HP9” by a predetermined number. . Then, in the “C pattern many” column of the developed distribution table, random numbers are distributed so that the probability of selecting “HP2” is 15/251 and the probability of selecting “HP9” is 236/251. On the other hand, random numbers are not assigned to “HP4” and “HP7”.

  In the “C pattern many” column of the development distribution table in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the second pattern C pattern is selected at the time of loss, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-A) is (1 When the value is equal to or greater than the prescribed value for -A), the game display pattern HP9 (the B pattern of the second system and the D pattern) is easily reselected, and the game display patterns HP4 and HP7 are not reselected. That is, in the “C pattern many” column of the development distribution table, when the second pattern C pattern is selected at the time of loss, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-A) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-A). In this case, since the negative determination of the second type expansion primary determination is made, there is a possibility that the appearance rate by the parameter I may be equal to or greater than the prescribed value for I, so that a selection other than the game display patterns HP4 and HP7 is reselected. It has become. As described above, in the correction control at the time of deviation in the present embodiment, when it is determined as “C pattern many” without being determined as “B pattern many”, the appearance of the C pattern of the second system is restricted and other developments are performed. In particular, by causing the development of the D pattern of the second system to appear, the appearance rate due to the parameter (1-A) is lowered while the appearance rate of the parameter (1-I) is relatively increased, so that the parameter (1 Correction is executed so that the appearance rate according to -A) approaches the prescribed value for (1-A) and the appearance rate according to parameter (1-I) approaches the prescribed value for (1-I).

  Further, in the second type development secondary determination, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the parameter (1-B) if the game display pattern once selected is the game display pattern HP9 that specifies the D pattern among the B patterns of the second system. ) ("Defeat ratio at the time of appearance of the D pattern of the second system") is confirmed, and whether the appearance rate is equal to or more than a predetermined value for (1-B) determined in advance Determine. That is, when the deviation is determined, the overall control CPU 46a corresponds to the appearance rate of the second system D pattern on the condition that the D pattern is further selected from the second system B pattern (1). -B) The second type expansion secondary determination for determining whether or not it is equal to or higher than the specified value (whether it is equal to or higher than the specified value) will be executed.

  If the determination result of the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-B) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-B), the overall control CPU 46a performs the expansion shown in FIG. Based on the distribution table, the second type expansion secondary reselection lottery (random number lottery) using random numbers is executed according to the satisfied condition (here, the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative determination). The overall control CPU 46a determines “D pattern many” by making an affirmative determination of the second type development secondary determination. Then, the overall control CPU 46a reselects and determines the game display pattern instead of the game display pattern once selected according to the “many D patterns” field according to the satisfied condition. The overall control CPU 46a determines that the second type expansion secondary determination result is negative and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-B) is lower than the specified value for (1-B). The game display pattern once selected is determined as it is without executing the two-type development re-selection lottery.

  In the “D pattern many” column of the development distribution table, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (a total of 251 integers in this embodiment) are assigned to “HP2” and “HP7”, respectively. . In the “D pattern many” column of the developed distribution table, random numbers are distributed so that the probability of selecting “HP2” is 15/251 and the probability of selecting “HP7” is 236/251. On the other hand, random numbers are not assigned to “HP4” and “HP9”.

  In the “D pattern many” column of the development distribution table in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the second pattern D pattern at the time of loss is selected, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-B) is (1 When the value is equal to or greater than the specified value for -B), it is easy to reselect the game display pattern HP7 (the B pattern of the second system and the C pattern), and the game display patterns HP4 and HP9 are not reselected. That is, in the “D pattern many” column of the development distribution table, when the D pattern of the second system at the time of loss is selected, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-B) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-B). In this case, since the second type expansion primary determination is negatively determined, the appearance rate by the parameter I may be equal to or higher than the prescribed value for I, so that a game pattern other than the game display patterns HP4 and HP9 is selected again. It has become. As described above, in the correction control at the time of deviation in this embodiment, when it is determined as “D pattern many” without being determined as “B pattern many”, the appearance of the D pattern of the second system is restricted and other developments are performed. In particular, by causing the development of the C pattern of the second system to appear, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-B) is lowered while the appearance rate of the parameter (1-I) is relatively increased, so that the parameter (1 Correction is executed so that the appearance rate according to -B) approaches the specified value for (1-B) and the appearance rate according to parameter (1-I) approaches the specified value for (1-I).

  In the second type expansion secondary determination, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the parameter (1-C) (“first system of the first system” is selected when the game display pattern once selected is the game display pattern HP2 that specifies the first system. The appearance rate calculated as “the ratio of defeat at the time of appearance”) is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the appearance rate is equal to or greater than a predetermined value for (1-C). In other words, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate of the first system that is equal to or greater than the corresponding specified value for (1-C) on the condition that the first system is selected when the deviation is determined. The second type expansion secondary determination for determining whether or not (whether or not equal to or higher than the specified value) is performed.

  If the determination result of the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-C) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-C), the overall control CPU 46a expands as shown in FIG. Based on the distribution table, the second type expansion secondary reselection lottery (random number lottery) using random numbers is executed according to the satisfied condition (here, the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative determination). The overall control CPU 46a determines “multiple first system” by making an affirmative determination of the second type expansion secondary determination. Then, the overall control CPU 46a reselects and determines the game display pattern instead of the game display pattern once selected according to the “first system multi” column according to the satisfied condition. The overall control CPU 46a determines that the second type expansion secondary determination is negative and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-C) is lower than the specified value for (1-C). The game display pattern once selected is determined as it is without executing the two-type development re-selection lottery.

  In the “first system multi” column of the development distribution table, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (251 integers in this embodiment) are allotted to “HP7” and “HP9” by a predetermined number. Yes. Then, in the “first system multi” column of the development distribution table, random numbers are respectively set so that the probability of selecting “HP7” is 126/251 and the probability of selecting “HP9” is 125/251. On the other hand, random numbers are not distributed to “HP2” and “HP4”.

  In this embodiment, in the “first system multiple” column of the development distribution table, as shown in FIG. 11, when the first system is selected at the time of disconnection, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-C) is (1-C ), The game display patterns HP7 and HP9 (second system B pattern) are easily reselected, and the game display patterns HP2 and HP4 are not reselected. That is, in the column of “first system multiple” in the deployment distribution table, when the first system is selected at the time of disconnection, when the appearance rate by the parameter (1-C) is equal to or greater than the specified value for (1-C), Since the negative determination of the second type expansion primary determination is made, there is a possibility that the appearance rate by the parameter I may be equal to or higher than the prescribed value for I, so that a game pattern other than the game display patterns HP2 and HP4 is selected again. Yes. In this way, in the correction control at the time of deviation of the present embodiment, when it is determined not to be “B pattern many” but to “first system multiple”, the appearance of the first system is restricted and other developments, particularly By causing the development of the B pattern of the second system to appear, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-C) is lowered while the appearance rate of the parameter (1-I) is relatively increased, and as a result, the parameter (1-C) ) Is approximated to the specified value for (1-C), and correction is performed so that the appearance rate based on the parameter (1-I) is close to the specified value for (1-I).

  Then, the overall control CPU 46a is out of the third 16R jackpot game after the end of the third 16R jackpot game from the transition to the probability change mode as the history storage period to the transition to the normal mode. The correction control is executed. Then, the overall control CPU 46a predefines each prescribed value according to the number of 16R big hit games given in the history storage period according to the loss prescribed value distribution table shown in FIG. The correction control at the time of deviation is executed. In the present embodiment, the transition from the transition to the probability change mode to the end of the third 16R big hit game, that is, the second 16R big hit game from the end of the 16R big hit game that became the trigger for the probability change mode. Until granting, the correction control at the time of losing is not executed from the end of the second 16R jackpot game until the third 16R jackpot game is awarded.

  For example, in the loss default value allocation table, when the third 16R big hit game is terminated after the transition to the probability variation mode, the fourth 16R big hit game is executed on condition that the history storage period is continued. Until it is given, each specified value corresponding to “3 (times)” in the “number of times” column is referred to in correction control at the time of deviation. That is, in the default value allocation table at the time of loss, the default value for I is “65%” on the condition that the history storage period continues after the end of the third 16R big hit game after the transition to the probability variation mode. , The specified value for (1-I) is “70%”, the specified value for (1-A) is “40%”, the specified value for (1-B) is “20%”, (1-C ) Is “15%”. Then, the overall control CPU 46a uses each specified value in the “number of times” column of the 16R jackpot game given from the transition to the probability change mode to the transition to the normal mode in the correction control at the time of loss. The specified value is continuously used until the next 16R big hit game is awarded on condition that the history storage period continues.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, in the deviation specified value distribution table, as the history storage period continues, the number of times the 16R big hit game is awarded increases (as it continues). Each specified value is lowered. Further, in the present embodiment, in the deviation specified value distribution table, each specified value is determined in a manner that approaches the selection rate of each game display pattern based on the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5. By defining the specified value for 1-C) lower than the other specified values, it is easier to correct the appearance of the development of the first system than the other developments.

Next, correction control at the time of big hit (in this embodiment, big hit corresponding to 16R big hit game) will be described.
When the CPU 46a for overall control selects the game display pattern when the variation patterns P3 and P4 are designated during the history storage period and the special symbol corresponding to the 16R jackpot game is designated, A game display pattern is temporarily selected according to the game display pattern distribution tables GT1 to GT5 based on the storage mode. Subsequently, the overall control CPU 46a executes correction control at the time of big hit using the appearance rate calculated by each parameter. In this embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a specifies a game display pattern HP1 that specifies the first system, a game display pattern HP6 that specifies the C pattern of the second system, and a game display pattern that specifies the D pattern of the second system. When HP8 is selected once, correction control at the time of big hit is executed.

  In the correction control at the time of big hit, once the overall control CPU 46a selects the game display pattern, it determines whether or not to execute the correction control by the correction execution lottery. The overall control CPU 46a executes the correction execution lottery in the same lottery mode regardless of the type of the game display pattern selected once so that the winning probability of execution becomes a predetermined winning probability. A correction execution lottery (random lottery) in which random numbers are distributed is executed. As will be described later, the winning probability of execution in the correction execution lottery is determined in advance according to the number of 16R big hit games given in the history storage period.

  When determining whether or not to execute in the correction execution lottery, the overall control CPU 46a determines and instructs the game display pattern once selected without executing the correction control at the time of big hit. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 46a executes processing related to the correction control at the time of big hit when determining execution possible in the correction execution lottery.

  In addition, when determining that execution is possible in the correction execution lottery, the overall control CPU 46a uses parameter A (a winning ratio at the appearance of the C pattern of the second system), parameter B (second system) in the correction control at the time of the big hit. The percentage of victory calculated at the time of the appearance of the D pattern) and the parameter C (the percentage of victory at the appearance of the first system) are included in any of the defined sections defined by the defined values corresponding to the parameters. By determining whether it belongs, correction control at the time of big hit is performed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13A to 13C, the appearance rate calculated by each parameter is set to a plurality of numerical values from 0% to 100% for each parameter as a prescribed value. It is divided into specified sections of sections (5 sections in this embodiment). A prescribed section is defined for each parameter based on a prescribed value, and each prescribed section is divided into a reference prescribed section to which a prescribed prescribed value (reference prescribed value) is distributed, and a provision that is distributed to the reference prescribed section. It is divided into a high prescribed section in which a high prescribed value higher than the value is assigned and a low prescribed section in which a low prescribed value lower than a prescribed value assigned to the reference prescribed section is assigned. Furthermore, in the high prescribed section, a regular high prescribed section in which a prescribed value lower than a specific high prescribed value among the high prescribed values assigned to the high prescribed section is assigned, and a prescribed value that is greater than or equal to the specific high prescribed value is assigned. It is further divided into high prescribed sections (specific high prescribed sections). In addition, in the low regulation section, a normal low regulation section in which a regulation value higher than a specific low regulation value among the low regulation values allocated to the low regulation section is assigned, and a regulation value less than the specific low regulation value is sorted. It is further divided into low regulation sections (specific low regulation sections).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13A, each specified section based on a specified value corresponding to the appearance rate calculated by the parameter A is set to a section where 0 to 39% is allocated. The specified section, the section for allocating 40 to 49% is the normal low defined section, the section for allocating 50 to 64% is the standard defined section, the section for allocating 65 to 79% is the normally high defined section, and 80 to The section in which 100% is distributed is defined as the high prescribed section. In each specified section based on the specified value corresponding to the appearance rate calculated by the parameter A, 39% is a specific low specified value, 80% is a specific high specified value, and 50 to 64% is a reference. This is the default value.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13B, each specified section based on a specified value corresponding to the appearance rate calculated by the parameter B is set to a section where 0 to 14% is allocated as a low specified section. A section for allocating 15 to 19% is usually a low specified section, a section for allocating 20 to 24% is a standard specified section, a section for allocating 25 to 29% is a normal high specified section, and 30 to 100% The section to be distributed is defined as a high regulation section. In each specified section based on the specified value corresponding to the appearance rate calculated by the parameter B, 14% is a specific low specified value, 30% is a specific high specified value, and 20 to 24% is a reference. This is the default value.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13C, each specified section based on the specified value corresponding to the appearance rate calculated by the parameter C is defined as a low specified section. , 75-79% distribution section is normally defined as a low regulation section, 80-89% distribution section is defined as a standard regulation section, 90-93% distribution section is defined as a normal high regulation section, and 94-100% The section to be distributed is defined as a high regulation section. In each specified section based on the specified value corresponding to the appearance rate calculated by the parameter C, 74% is a specific low specified value, 94% is a specific high specified value, and 80 to 89% is a reference. This is the default value.

  And in the correction control at the time of big hit, the specified value (50 to 64% for parameter A, 20 to 24% for parameter B, 80 to 89% for parameter C) distributed to the reference specified section becomes the reference specified value, The appearance rate calculated by each parameter is brought close to the specified value serving as a reference distributed to the reference specified section. In other words, in the correction control at the time of big hit, the reference value that serves as a reference is not a single value but a group of values that are assigned to sections. Further, in the present embodiment, the value of the specified value assigned to the specified section corresponding to each parameter is varied. For example, in FIGS. 13A to 13C, a specified value assigned to the low specified interval corresponding to the parameter C is assigned a higher specified value than the specified value assigned to the other low specified interval. Further, in FIGS. 13A to 13C, the specified value assigned to the high specified interval corresponding to the parameter B is assigned to a specified value lower than the specified value assigned to the other high specified interval.

  The overall control CPU 46a specifies the type of the game display pattern that has been selected once and determines the type of the game display pattern that has been selected when executing the correction control at the time of the big hit by determining whether or not the correction can be executed by the correction execution lottery. The following processing steps 1 to 4 are sequentially executed with reference to the appearance rate calculated by the following. The overall control CPU 46a determines the appearance rate calculated by the parameter C when specifying the game display pattern HP1, and the appearance rate calculated by the parameter A when specifying the game display pattern HP6. Is identified and associated with the appearance rate calculated by the parameter B.

  The overall control CPU 46a checks each appearance rate calculated by the parameter corresponding to each game display pattern, and determines whether or not the first condition that there is a thing belonging to the low defined section among the appearance rates is satisfied. Determine (Processing Procedure 1). When the determination result of the processing procedure 1 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a reselects the game display pattern associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate belonging to the low specified section regardless of the type of the game display pattern once selected. And decide. If the determination result of the processing procedure 1 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a determines that a predetermined priority order is present when there are a plurality of game display patterns associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate belonging to the low specified section. One game display pattern is determined based on (priority). In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a predetermines a priority order to appear (reselect) preferentially by correction control at the time of big hit, and in the order of game display pattern HP6 → game display pattern HP1 → game display pattern HP8. The priority order is set (high priority). In the present embodiment, the priority order is a priority order set in the development stage in consideration of the characteristics of various effects in the pachinko gaming machine 10, and includes specifications such as gameability and jackpot probability of the pachinko gaming machine. The priority order determined in the present embodiment is an example, depending on the contents of the effects provided. For example, when the determination result of the processing procedure 1 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a includes game display patterns HP1 and HP6 as game display patterns associated with parameters for calculating the appearance rate belonging to the low specified section. Sometimes the game display pattern HP6 is preferentially reselected and determined based on the priority order.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the processing procedure 1 is negative, that is, when the first condition is not satisfied, the overall control CPU 46a checks each appearance rate calculated by the parameter corresponding to each game display pattern. Then, it is determined whether or not the second condition that there is one belonging to the high defined section among the appearance rates is satisfied (processing procedure 2). If the determination result of processing procedure 2 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a reselects and determines the game display pattern associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate that does not belong to the highly defined section. When the determination result of the processing procedure 2 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a determines a predetermined priority order when there are a plurality of game display patterns associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate that does not belong to the high prescribed section. One game display pattern is determined based on the above. If the determination result of processing procedure 2 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a determines the game display pattern once selected as it is when all the appearance rates calculated by the parameters A, B, and C belong to the high specified section. Then instruct.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the processing procedure 2 is negative, that is, when the first condition and the second condition are not satisfied, the overall control CPU 46a calculates each appearance calculated by the parameter corresponding to each game display pattern. The rate is checked, and it is determined whether or not the third condition that there is a normal belonging to the low prescribed section among the appearance rates is satisfied (processing procedure 3). If the determination result of processing procedure 3 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a re-reproduces the game display pattern associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate belonging to the normal low prescribed section regardless of the type of the game display pattern once selected. Select and decide. If the determination result of the processing procedure 3 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a determines that the priority is set in advance when there are a plurality of game display patterns associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate belonging to the normal low prescribed section. One game display pattern is determined based on the order (priority). Further, when the determination result of the processing procedure 3 is affirmative, it has already been determined that the first condition is not satisfied, and thus there is no appearance rate belonging to the low specified section.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the processing procedure 3 is negative, that is, when the first condition to the third condition are not satisfied, the overall control CPU 46a calculates each appearance calculated by the parameter corresponding to each game display pattern. The rate is checked, and it is determined whether or not the fourth condition that there is an item belonging to the normal high specified section among the appearance rates is satisfied (processing procedure 4). When the determination result of the processing procedure 4 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a reselects and determines the game display pattern associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate that does not belong to the normal high prescribed section. If the determination result of the processing procedure 4 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a determines the priority given in advance when there are a plurality of game display patterns associated with the parameter for calculating the appearance rate that does not normally belong to the high prescribed section. One game display pattern is determined based on the order. When the determination result of the processing procedure 4 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 46a keeps the game display pattern once selected as it is when all the appearance rates calculated by the parameters A, B, and C belong to the normal high specified section. Decide and direct. Further, when the determination result of processing procedure 4 is affirmative, it has already been determined that the second condition is not satisfied, and thus there is no appearance rate belonging to the highly defined section.

  Subsequently, when the determination result of the processing procedure 4 is negative, that is, when the first condition to the fourth condition are not satisfied, the overall control CPU 46a calculates each appearance rate calculated by a parameter corresponding to each game display pattern. Since all belong to the reference stipulated section, the game display pattern once selected is determined and instructed as it is.

  In this way, in the big hit correction control when the game display patterns HP1, HP6, and HP8 of the present embodiment are selected, when determining whether or not to execute in the correction execution lottery, based on the appearance rate calculated by each parameter. If there is an appearance rate belonging to the high prescribed section, determination of a game display pattern corresponding to the appearance ratio belonging to the high prescribed section by forcibly determining the game display pattern corresponding to the appearance ratio belonging to other than the high prescribed section To regulate. In addition, in the correction control at the time of big hit, when the execution rate is determined by the correction execution lottery, if there is an appearance rate belonging to the normal high prescribed section, a game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to other than the normal high prescribed section is forced. The determination of the game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the high prescribed section is regulated by determining the target. It should be noted that when determining whether or not there is an appearance rate belonging to the normal high prescribed section, it is already determined that the second condition is not satisfied, and there is no appearance ratio belonging to the high prescribed section. Therefore, the game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the high prescribed section is not selected.

  On the other hand, in the correction control at the time of big hit, when the execution rate is determined by the correction execution lottery, if there is an appearance rate belonging to the low specified section, the game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the low specified section is compulsory. The game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the low prescribed section is positively determined. In addition, in the correction control at the time of big hit, when the execution rate is determined by the correction execution lottery, if there is an appearance rate belonging to the normal low prescribed section, the game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the normal low prescribed section is compulsory. The game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the low prescribed section is positively determined. It should be noted that when determining whether or not there is an appearance rate that normally belongs to the low prescribed section, it is already determined that the first condition is not satisfied, and there is no appearance ratio belonging to the low prescribed section. Therefore, the game display pattern corresponding to the appearance rate belonging to the normal low prescribed section is not selected even though the appearance rate belonging to the low prescribed section exists.

  For this reason, regulations that restrict the appearance of productions that appear too much, while actively determining the appearance of productions that do not appear too much, are used as criteria for the appearance rate calculated by each parameter. It can be close to the value (the specified value distributed to the reference specified section).

  Then, the overall control CPU 46a starts from the end of the third 16R jackpot game based on the number of jackpot games given until the transition to the normal mode after shifting to the probability change mode, which is the history storage period. The correction control is executed. Then, the overall control CPU 46a predetermines the winning probability of whether or not the correction execution lottery can be executed according to the number of 16R big hit games given in the history storage period according to the big hit correction execution lottery table shown in FIG. Based on these winning probabilities, whether or not to execute the correction control at the time of the big hit is drawn. In the present embodiment, each of the parameters A, B, and C calculated from each parameter A, B, and C from the transition to the probability variation mode, which is the history storage period, to the transition to the normal mode, regardless of the number of jackpot games that are granted. The division mode of the specified section corresponding to the appearance rate is the same. Further, in the present embodiment, after the transition to the probability change mode, until the third 16R big hit game ends, that is, from the end of the 16R big hit game that became the trigger for the probability change mode, the second 16R big hit game is performed. Until the first 16R jackpot game is awarded until the third 16R jackpot game is awarded, the correction control at the big hit is not executed (the correction execution lottery itself is not performed). Yes.

  For example, in the big hit correction execution lottery table, when the third 16R big hit game is finished after shifting to the probability change mode, the fourth 16R big hit game is given on condition that the history storage period is continued. In the meantime, whether or not to execute the correction control is determined with a winning probability corresponding to “3 (times)” in the “number of times” column. In other words, in the big hit correction execution lottery table, the winning probability of being able to be executed in the correction execution lottery is determined on the condition that the history storage period continues after the end of the third 16R big hit game after shifting to the probability change mode. 45/251, winning probability of execution failure is 206/251. Then, the overall control CPU 46a corrects based on the winning probabilities in the “number of times” column of the 16R jackpot game given from the transition to the probability change mode to the transition to the normal mode in the correction control at the time of the jackpot. Run the lottery.

  In the big hit correction execution lottery table in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, on the condition that the history storage period is continued, the number of times the 16R big hit game is awarded is “3 times” when “4 times” is given. The winning probability for determining whether or not to execute in the correction execution lottery is lower. Further, in the big hit correction execution lottery table, when the number of times the 16R big hit game is given is “5 times” to “9 times”, the winning probability that can be executed in the correction execution lottery is higher than “4 times”. In “times” to “14 times”, the winning probability of being able to be executed in the correction execution lottery is lower than in “9 times”. Further, in the big hit correction execution lottery table, when the number of times the 16R big hit game is given is “15 times” to “17 times”, the winning probability that can be executed in the correction execution lottery is higher than “14 times”. In “times” to “20 times”, the winning probability of being able to be executed in the correction execution lottery is lower than in “17 times”. In the big hit correction execution lottery table, when the number of times that the 16R big hit game is given is “21 times” or more, the winning probability of being able to be executed in the correction execution lottery is higher than “20 times”.

  Thus, in this embodiment, in the big hit correction execution lottery table, on the condition that the history storage period continues, the winning probability of the correction execution lottery increases according to the number of times the 16R big hit game is awarded. As a result of fluctuation or low fluctuation, a correction execution high probability period and a correction execution low probability period arrive.

  Then, when the overall control CPU 46a selects and reselects each game display pattern as described above, it outputs a display pattern designation command for instructing the determined game display pattern to each of the control boards 47 and 48. To do.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation patterns P1 to P5 can be determined as variation patterns even during the stay in the CH mode. Therefore, when the overall control CPU 46a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating these variation patterns P1 to P5 during the stay in the CH mode, it differs from the game display patterns HP1 to HP9 that can be determined during the stay in the probability variation mode. The development of the game display pattern for the CH mode is determined.

  In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a functions as a display pattern determination unit, a display effect instruction unit, an appearance rate calculation unit, and an appearance rate determination unit. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a and the overall control RAM 46c function as the number storage means.

Next, the effect display control board 47 will be described.
When the display control CPU 47a of the effect display control board 47 inputs a display pattern designation command, it selects the effect content (variation content) corresponding to the game display pattern instructed by the command, and plays the symbol variation game with the effect content. The display content of the effect display device 28 is controlled so as to be performed. Then, when the display control CPU 47a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display control is performed so that the decorative symbol instructed by the stop symbol designation command for decorative symbols is displayed on the effect display device 28 in a definite stop display. Then, the symbol variation game is terminated.

  For example, if the display control CPU 47a is a normal variation game display pattern based on the variation pattern P1 while staying in the probability variation mode, the symbols of each column are confirmed and stopped at a predetermined timing after the variation of the symbols of each column. The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so that

As a result, the effect display device 28 derives outlier symbol combinations after starting the variation of symbols in each column. Thereby, the player recognizes the deviation due to the normal fluctuation.
For example, when the display control CPU 47a is in the game display pattern HP1 while staying in the probability variation mode and is instructed to execute development by the first type effect, the display of the first type effect is performed after the change of the symbols in each column. Then, the display contents of the image display unit GH are controlled so that the effect result of “win” is finally derived and the symbol combination of the big hit is confirmed and stopped. As a result, in the effect display device 28, as a result of the confrontation of the characters corresponding to the first type effect, “Victory” is displayed as an image and the symbol combination of the big hit is derived. Thereby, the player recognizes the big hit by the game display pattern HP1 and the continuation of the probability variation mode. Note that the display control CPU 47a controls the image display unit GH so that when the development by the game display pattern HP2 is instructed, the effect result of “defeat” is derived and the off symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. Then, the player is allowed to recognize the shift while recognizing the continuation of the probability variation mode.

  For example, when the display control CPU 47a is instructed to develop the game display pattern HP3 while staying in the probability variation mode, after the symbols in each column change, the display result of the victory is finally derived and the jackpot symbol The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so that the combination is displayed in a fixed stop state. As a result, in the effect display device 28, as a result of the confrontation of the characters that are the motif of the pachinko gaming machine 10, “Victory” is displayed as an image, and the symbol combination of the big hit is derived. As a result, the player recognizes the big hit by the game display pattern HP3 and the continuation of the probability change mode. Note that the display control CPU 47a controls the image display unit GH so that when the development by the game display pattern HP4 is instructed, the effect result of “draw” is derived and the off symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. Thus, the player is made to recognize the deviation while recognizing the continuation of the probability variation mode. In addition, when the display by the game display pattern HP5 is instructed, the display control CPU 47a controls the image display unit GH so as to derive an effect result of “defeat” and to confirm and stop the symbol combination of the probability change suggestion. Then, the player is made to recognize the 2R big hit game and the transition to the CH mode (the probability change state due to the end of the probability change mode may have ended).

  For example, when the display control CPU 47a is instructed to develop the game display patterns HP6 and HP8 while staying in the probability variation mode, the display control CPU 47a finally derives the effect result of “Victory” after the variation of the symbols in each column, and the big hit The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so that the symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state. As a result, in the effect display device 28, as a result of the confrontation of the characters that are the motif of the pachinko gaming machine 10, “Victory” is displayed as an image, and the symbol combination of the big hit is derived. As a result, the player recognizes the big hit by the game display patterns HP6 and HP8 and the continuation of the probability variation mode. Note that the display control CPU 47a controls the image display unit GH so that when the game display patterns HP7 and HP9 are instructed to be developed, the effect result of “defeat” is derived and the off-combination symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. This allows the player to recognize the shift while recognizing the continuation of the probability variation mode.

  Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 47a controls the display content of the effect display device 28 so as to be in the effect mode instructed by the command. Further, the display control CPU 47a is configured to maintain the display contents of the current effect mode until the next mode designation command is input.

  Further, when an individual information display command is input, the display control CPU 47a controls the display content of the image display unit GH so as to display an individual display image based on the individual information specified in the command. At this time, the display control CPU 47a generates display data for displaying the corresponding individual display image using the image data of the display control ROM 47b. In the case where any one of the individual display images corresponding to the first to fourth type effects has already been displayed, the display control CPU 47a displays the newly designated individual display image in addition to the already displayed image. Display data is generated so as to be displayed. The display control CPU 47a continues to update the individual display image and hold the display contents until a mode designation command indicating the transition to the normal mode is input.

In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 47a functions as a display effect instruction unit.
When the voice / lamp control board 48 receives various commands, the voice / lamp control board 48 controls the light emission mode of the various lamp units 17 to 19 and 27 b and the voice output mode of the speakers 20, 21 and 25. That is, the voice / lamp control board 48 performs control so as to cause an effect corresponding to the contents of the effect instructed by these commands, like the effect display control board 47.

Next, as control contents executed by the main control board 45, the sub general control board 46, and the effect display control board 47, control contents related to the execution of the big hit game will be described.
The main control CPU 45a of the main control board 45 grants a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game as a big hit effect. At this time, the main control CPU 45a identifies the type of jackpot game to be given from the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) determined immediately before the start of the symbol variation game that will be the jackpot effect, and according to the identified jackpot game Execute control.

  Then, when the determined special symbol is the special symbol A corresponding to the 16R big hit game, the main control CPU 45a first causes the opening effect to be executed. After the opening effect, the main control CPU 45a causes 16 round games to be executed. In these jackpot games, in one round game, the big winning opening (the big winning opening 41 in this embodiment) is opened once. The round game time of one round game, that is, the opening time of the special winning opening 41 is set to “25000 (ms)” as shown in FIG. For this reason, when the main control CPU 45a opens the big winning opening 41 and starts the round game, it determines whether or not the round game time has elapsed and the specified number of balls (in this embodiment, 8 balls). It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. Further, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round release designation command indicating the number of started round games to the sub general control board 46 at the start of the round game. Then, if either of the main control CPUs 45 makes an affirmative determination, the round winning game 41 is closed and the round game is ended because the round game end condition is satisfied. At this time, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round closing designation command.

  The main control CPU 45a that has finished one round game, after the interval time between rounds (2100 (ms) in the present embodiment) has elapsed, opens the big winning opening 41 to start the next round game. When the 16 round games are finished, the main control CPU 45a executes an ending process to execute an ending effect.

  Further, the main control CPU 45a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted in the ending process when the big hit game based on the special symbol A is imparted, and improves the entrance rate improvement state. “1” is set to the operation flag indicating that the Further, when the big hit game based on the special symbol A is given, the main control CPU 45a sets “1” in the operation flag in the ending process and changes the remaining symbol to which the improved entrance rate is given. Set 10,000 times as the number of operations indicating the number of games.

  Further, when the determined special symbol is the special symbol B corresponding to the 2R probability variation big hit game, and the special symbol C corresponding to the 2R non-probable big hit game, the main control CPU 45a first causes the opening effect to be executed. Then, after the opening effect ends, the main control CPU 45a executes two round games. In these jackpot games, in one round game, the big winning opening (the big winning opening 41 in this embodiment) is opened once. Then, the round game time of one round game, that is, the opening time of the special winning opening 41 is set to “600 (ms)” as shown in FIG. For this reason, when the main control CPU 45a opens the big winning opening 41 and starts the round game, it determines whether or not the round game time has elapsed and the specified number of balls (in this embodiment, 8 balls). It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. Further, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round release designation command indicating the number of started round games to the sub general control board 46 at the start of the round game. Then, if either of the main control CPUs 45 makes an affirmative determination, the round winning game 41 is closed and the round game is ended because the round game end condition is satisfied. At this time, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round closing designation command.

  The main control CPU 45a that has finished one round game, after the interval time between rounds (1000 (ms) in the present embodiment) elapses, opens the special winning opening 41 to start the next round game. When the two round games are finished, the main control CPU 45a executes an ending process to execute an ending effect.

  Further, the main control CPU 45a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted in the ending process when the big hit game based on the special symbol B is imparted, and also improves the entrance rate improvement state. "1" is set in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be provided. When the main control CPU 45a sets “1” in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be given, the main control CPU 45a sets the operation count indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is assigned to 100. Set times. Further, the main control CPU 45a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted in the ending process when the big hit game based on the special symbol B is imparted, and also improves the entrance rate improvement state. “0” is set in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be provided when no entry is given.

  The main control CPU 45a sets “0” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is to be imparted in the ending process when the big hit game based on the special symbol C is imparted, and also improves the entrance rate improvement state. "1" is set in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be provided. When the main control CPU 45a sets “1” in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be given, the main control CPU 45a sets the operation count indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is assigned to 100. Set times. The main control CPU 45a sets “0” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is to be imparted in the ending process when the big hit game based on the special symbol C is imparted, and also improves the entrance rate improvement state. “0” is set in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be provided when no entry is given.

  Then, the main control CPU 45a that has ended the big hit game executes the process related to the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball when the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol at the time of the big hit is “1” or more. Then, the symbol variation game is performed. On the other hand, if the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol at the end of the big hit is “0”, the main control CPU 45a changes the symbol until the game ball enters the upper start winning port 33 or the lower start winning port 34. Wait without running the game.

Next, the contents of control related to the execution of the big hit game of the sub integrated control board 46 will be described.
When the opening control command is input, the overall control CPU 46a of the sub-general control board 46 determines the contents of the opening effect, and displays the opening effect command for instructing the effect of the opening effect. The effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board Output to 48. When the round opening designation command is input, the overall control CPU 46a outputs the round effect command to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board in order to instruct the effect during the round game. Further, when the round control designation command is input, the overall control CPU 46a outputs the round close designation command to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board. When the ending command is input, the overall control CPU 46a determines the contents of the ending effect, and outputs the ending effect command for instructing the ending effect to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. The control related to the execution of the 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probability big hit game, and the 16R big hit game is terminated. Note that when the overall control CPU 46a instructs execution of various effects during the big hit game (effect during the big hit game), the big hit game is given to the effect display control board 47 by instructing the display pattern during the big hit game with various commands. A specific display effect content (effect content) for expanding the medium effect is instructed.

  The overall control CPU 46a receives the opening command at the start of the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-variable big hit game, and the big hit becomes the same mode (the player cannot visually recognize the difference). Execution is instructed in each of the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect so that the display pattern is in-game.

Next, the control content related to the execution of the big hit game on the effect display control board 47 will be described.
When the opening control command output from the overall control CPU 46a is input, the display control CPU 47a of the effect display control board 47 causes the opening effect to be executed with the effect content (display pattern during the big hit game) instructed by the opening effect command. The display content of the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is controlled. Then, the display control CPU 47a counts the elapsed time from the start of the opening effect, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data for every predetermined control period (for example, every 4 ms). ).

  Further, when the display control CPU 47a inputs each round effect command, the effect display device 28 (image display unit) is configured to cause each round effect to be executed with the effect contents (display pattern during jackpot game) instructed by the round effect command. GH) display content is controlled. Then, the display control CPU 47a counts the elapsed time from the start of each round effect, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data for each predetermined control period (for example, 4 ms). Every).

  In addition, when the ending effect command is input, the display control CPU 47a causes the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) to execute the ending effect according to the effect content (display pattern during the big hit game) instructed by the ending effect command. Controls the display content of. Then, the display control CPU 47a measures the elapsed time from the start of the ending effect, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and the display data for every predetermined control period (for example, every 4 ms). ).

  When the opening effect command, the ending effect command, and each round effect command are input, the sound / lamp control board 48 controls the light emission mode of the various lamp units 17 to 19 and 27b and the sound output mode of the speakers 20, 21, and 25. To do. That is, the voice / lamp control board 48 performs control so as to cause an effect corresponding to the contents of the effect instructed by these commands, like the effect display control board 47.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Once the overall control CPU 46a has selected a game display pattern, in the correction control at the time of losing, the overall control CPU 46a uses a predetermined value as a reference predetermined in accordance with various appearance rates calculated by each parameter and each parameter. The game display pattern is determined according to the results of determining the various appearance rates calculated (the results of the first type development determination, the second type development primary, and the secondary determination). Also, the overall control CPU 46a makes various determinations based on the type of the selected game display pattern (first type development determination, second type development primary, secondary determination) once the game display pattern is selected. Was made to run. Then, the overall control CPU 46a may determine the game display pattern based on the determination result of the first type development determination, thereby bringing the appearance rate calculated by the parameter I closer to the corresponding predetermined I value. it can. That is, if the determination result of the first type expansion determination is affirmative and the appearance rate by the parameter I is higher than the specified value, the overall control CPU 46a performs the first type expansion (first type expansion reselection lottery). By determining a game display pattern other than (A pattern of the second system), the appearance rate by the parameter I is relatively brought close to the prescribed value for I. Further, the overall control CPU 46a determines the game display pattern based on the determination results of the second type expansion primary determination and the second type expansion secondary determination, thereby determining the appearance rate of the parameter (1-I) correspondingly. In addition to approaching the specified value for (1-I), the appearance rate by the parameters (1-A), (1-B), and (1-C) can be made closer to the corresponding specified value. . In other words, the overall control CPU 46a appears that the determination result of the second type expansion primary determination is affirmative, and the appearance rate by the parameter (1-I) is higher than the specified value for (1-I). In this case, by making it easier to determine the game display pattern of the first type development (second pattern A pattern) by the second type development primary reselection lottery, the appearance rate by the parameter (1-I) is relatively (1- It is designed to approach the specified value for I). The overall control CPU 46a determines that the second type expansion primary determination is negative and the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative, and each parameter (1-A), (1-B), (1- In the case where the appearance rate according to C) is higher than the corresponding specified value, the appearance rate is relatively increased by making it easier to determine a game display pattern other than the corresponding game display pattern by the second type development secondary reselection lottery. The appearance rate due to the parameter that is higher than the specified value is brought closer to the specified value. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in which the symbol variation game is developed with a plurality of types of effect routes and a plurality of types of effect results, the appearance rate of each effect route and effect results is brought close to a predetermined reference value. It is possible to improve the interest in the design of the symbol variation game.

  (2) In the symbol variation game based on the game display patterns HP1 to HP9, the player is not simply interested in which system and which pattern will appear, but which system and which pattern is developed. Will be interested in the big hit game as if connected to the big hit game (especially 16R big hit game). In addition, every time a 16R jackpot game arrives, the appearance rate by each parameter for each system and each pattern, and the symbol variation game was played, which led to a jackpot game by each parameter for each system and each pattern. There is a possibility that the ratio is biased. For this reason, with the grant of 16R jackpot game as an opportunity, by changing at least one type of prescribed value among each prescribed value, after estimating the bias that may occur due to the arrival of 16R jackpot game, The appearance rate by each parameter for each pattern can be brought close to various standard values as a reference.

  (3) The overall control CPU 46a keeps the selected display pattern as it is regardless of the various determination results of the appearance rate determination means from when a specific jackpot game is awarded until the jackpot game is awarded a predetermined number of times. I decided to decide. For this reason, in particular, with respect to the effects of the next and subsequent symbol variation games after the end of the predetermined number of jackpot games after a specific jackpot game is given, a standard that predetermines the appearance rate of each effect route and effect result. Can be close to the specified value.

  (4) In the first type development reselection lottery, the overall control CPU 46a reselects a display pattern other than the game display pattern that identifies the first type development (the second system pattern), thereby determining the parameter I. At the same time as making the appearance rate close to the prescribed value for I, the appearance rate due to other parameters such as parameter (1-I) can also be made close to the corresponding prescribed value. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in which the symbol variation game is developed with a plurality of types of effect routes and a plurality of types of effect results, the appearance rate of each effect route and the effect results is surely brought closer to a predetermined standard value as a reference. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest in directing the symbol variation game.

  (5) Once the game control pattern is selected, the overall control CPU 46a, in the correction control at the time of the big hit, each specified section that is divided based on a predetermined value corresponding to each appearance rate calculated by each parameter The game display pattern is determined according to the determination based on the various appearance rates calculated by the parameters. The overall control CPU 46a determines the game display pattern based on whether the appearance rate based on the parameter associated with each game display pattern belongs to the low prescribed section or the high prescribed section, thereby determining each parameter. The appearance rate by A, B, and C can be brought close to the prescribed value of the corresponding predetermined reference prescribed section. In other words, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate that is lower than the reference specified interval (belonging to the low specified interval or the normal low specified interval) in the appearance rate based on the parameters associated with each game display pattern. By actively determining a game display pattern associated with a parameter having an appearance rate that is a low ratio, the appearance rate by each parameter is relatively brought close to the prescribed value of the reference prescribed section. Further, the overall control CPU 46a has an appearance rate that is higher than the reference specified interval (belonging to the high specified interval or the normal high specified interval) in the appearance rate based on the parameters associated with each game display pattern. By restricting the determination of the game display pattern associated with the parameter that is the appearance rate that is a high ratio, the appearance rate by each parameter is relatively brought closer to the prescribed value of the reference prescribed section. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in which the symbol variation game is developed with a plurality of types of effect routes and a plurality of types of effect results, the appearance rate of each effect route and effect results is brought close to a predetermined reference value. It is possible to improve the interest in the design of the symbol variation game.

  (6) In each prescribed section, the high prescribed section and the low prescribed section among the prescribed sections are further subdivided according to the prescribed values assigned to each. The overall control CPU 46a then determines the game according to the determinations based on the predetermined intervals that are further subdivided based on the predetermined values corresponding to the various appearance rates of the respective parameters and the various appearance rates of the respective parameters. The display pattern was decided. Then, the overall control CPU 46a determines whether each appearance rate based on the parameter associated with each game display pattern belongs to the low specified section and the normal low specified section as well as the high specified section and the normal high specified section. By determining the game display pattern, it is possible to increase the accuracy of bringing the appearance rate of each parameter A, B, and C close to the prescribed value of the corresponding reference prescribed section.

  (7) When determining the game display pattern, the overall control CPU 46a selects and determines the game display pattern having the highest priority order when there are a plurality of selectable game display patterns. In other words, according to the priority order of appearance as the effects of the symbol variation game, the appearance rate by each parameter can be brought close to the prescribed value of the reference prescribed section without breaking the balance of the effects predetermined in the symbol variation game.

  (8) The overall control CPU 46a does not satisfy the first condition but satisfies the second condition, and all the appearance rates by the respective parameters associated with the game display patterns belong to the highly defined section. The game display pattern selected first is determined without re-selection. In such a case, since all of the appearance rates by the parameters associated with the game display patterns all appear at a higher rate than the standard prescribed section, it is for overall control by not performing the process of reselecting. An increase in processing load on the CPU 46a can be suppressed.

  (9) The overall control CPU 46a has a normal high appearance rate for each parameter associated with each game display pattern when the first condition to the third condition are not satisfied but the fourth condition is satisfied. The game display pattern selected first is decided without re-selection when belonging to the specified section. In such a case, since all the appearance ratios by the parameters associated with the game display patterns are higher than the reference specified section, the processing load of the overall control CPU 46a is reduced by not performing the process of reselection. Increase can be suppressed.

  (10) The overall control CPU 46a stores the appearance history of each game display pattern as a history storage period triggered by the transition to the probability changing mode. Further, the overall control CPU 46a stores a predetermined condition in the history storage period (the third 16R big hit game is terminated on condition that the probability variation mode is continued, and all four types of individual information are stored). Each correction control is executed when (No) is established. For this reason, the appearance history of each game display pattern at the end of the third big hit game is different for each arrival of the probability variation mode, on condition that the probability variation mode that satisfies the predetermined condition is continued. For this reason, while various specified values are determined in advance, until the predetermined condition is satisfied, the appearance rate of the effect in the symbol variation game is changed to some extent by varying the appearance rate by each parameter. You can also have it. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the balance due to the appearance of the effects in the game while taking advantage of the characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine 10 such as randomness, instead of simply bringing the appearance rate of each parameter close to the reference specified value.

  (11) In the correction control at the time of big hit, a correction execution high probability period in which the winning probability executable in the correction execution lottery is relatively high and a correction execution low probability period arrive. And the correction execution high probability period is set so that the number of 16R big hit games reaches a certain number of times (5 to 9 times) after shifting to the probability variation mode on condition that the probability variation mode is continued. . Further, in the big hit correction control, the game display pattern HP1 is determined second in the priority order. Further, in the big hit correction control, the specified value of the low specified section corresponding to the parameter C is set higher than the specified value of the low specified section corresponding to the other parameters. That is, it is more likely that the appearance rate by the parameter C associated with the game display pattern HP1 will continue to belong to the low prescribed section or the normal low prescribed section than the appearance ratio by other parameters. For this reason, when the game display pattern HP1 is selected once, the possibility of correction (reselection) by the correction control is lower than when another game display pattern is selected again. On the other hand, when another game display pattern is selected, there is a high possibility that the game display pattern HP1 is reselected as a result of correction by correction control. Therefore, during the stay in the probability variation mode, an opportunity to make it easier to store the individual information by the appearance of the game display pattern HP1 is brought to an early stage while the probability variation mode is continuing. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 that changes the effect of the symbol variation game according to the storage mode of the stored individual information, it is possible to make full use of the game.

  (12) The overall control CPU 46a develops the game display pattern HP1 determined each time the game display pattern HP1 is determined during the stay in the probability change mode and the CH mode in which the entrance rate improvement state is being given (first type to The individual information specifying the fourth type effect) is accumulated and held. If there is individual information that is already stored and held, specific display effect contents that are instructed based on the game display pattern according to the storage mode (number of types) of the stored and stored individual information ( The determination mode of the production content was changed. For this reason, when determining the production contents of the symbol variation game, by adopting a configuration that can change the determination mode of various productions according to the storage mode of the individual information, the control of the game is suppressed. Interest can be improved sufficiently.

  (13) As one of the parameters used in the correction control at the time of deviation, the parameter I indicating “the ratio of the A pattern of the second system in the time of deviation” is used. The A pattern of the second system is a pattern including a pattern that can shift to the CH mode only in the development of the first system and the second system (can shift from the probability variation state to the non-probability variation state). For this reason, if only the A pattern of the second system that can shift to the CH mode frequently appears, the player will have only anxiety that it will shift from the probabilistic state to the non-probable state every time it appears. End up. On the other hand, if the A pattern of the second system does not appear much except at the time of transition to the CH mode, the player cannot expect to continue the probability variation mode when the A pattern of the second system appears. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the appearance rate due to the parameter I relating to the A pattern of the second system that can be shifted to the CH mode only in the development of the first system and the second system by the correction control (close to the corresponding specified value). It becomes important. As a result of executing correction control at the time of deviation so that the appearance rate by the parameter I approaches the prescribed value for I, harmony between expectation for continuation of the probability variation mode and the tension when the A pattern of the second system appears. It is possible to sufficiently improve the interest of the game by suppressing the manner of the game.

In addition, you may change this embodiment as follows.
In the present embodiment, the development of the game display pattern HP3 based on the fact that the variation pattern P4 has been determined is a specific relief as an aspect of “victory” as a result of the appearance of a specific relief character or a normal relief character. A game display pattern HP3a in which a character appears and a game display pattern HP3b in which a normal relief character appears may be set. Then, the appearance history of the game display pattern HP3a is stored as the category x, and the appearance history of the game display pattern HP3b is stored as the category y. Using these categories x and y, the “specific A rescue character of the second pattern A rescue character is stored. "Ratio" is calculated as parameter D. Then, once the game display patterns HP3a and HP3b are selected based on the fact that the variation pattern P4 has been determined, the overall control CPU 46a determines whether or not the appearance rate by the parameter D is equal to or greater than the prescribed value for D. In case of affirmative, the game control pattern HP3b forcing a normal relief character to appear forcibly is selected, and in case of negative, correction control at the time of a big hit is performed such that the selected game display pattern is determined as it is. it can. Further, in the correction control at the time of the big hit in this example, the correction execution lottery can be executed prior to the execution of the correction control. Also, the prescribed value for D can be changed to be lower as the number of times increases, for example, according to the number of 16R big hit games.

However, the game display pattern HP1 for the variation pattern P3 and the game display pattern HP1 for the variation pattern P4 are classified as the same category g and used in various correction controls. Further, the game display pattern HP6 for the variation pattern P3 and the game display pattern HP6 for the variation pattern P4 are classified as the same category e and used in various correction controls. Further, the game display pattern HP8 for the variation pattern P3 and the game display pattern HP8 for the variation pattern P4 are classified into the same category f and are used in various correction controls.

Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above-described embodiment and other examples are added below.
(A) When the display pattern determining means determines the display pattern, the display pattern is temporarily selected, and when the first condition is not satisfied and the second condition is satisfied The display pattern selected once is determined as it is when it is determined by the appearance rate determination means that all the display patterns belong to the highly defined section. Game machines.

  (B) When the display pattern determination means does not satisfy the first condition to the third condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the appearance rate determination means determines that all display patterns are the normal high definition. The gaming machine according to any one of claims 2 to 4, wherein a display pattern once selected is determined as it is when it is determined to belong to a section.

  (C) Display means for displaying a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of types of symbols, and a plurality of types of display patterns for instructing the display means of specific display effects for developing the symbol variation game Display pattern deciding means for selecting and deciding from among them, and display effect instruction means for instructing the display means to execute display effects based on the display pattern determined by the display pattern deciding means, and the display pattern Are classified into a plurality of types of development including different first-type development and second-type development, respectively, and the development of the display effect content is further branched in the second-type development, thereby providing a plurality of types of production paths. And a gaming machine having a plurality of types of display patterns for deriving a plurality of types of performance results, the number of determinations for each display pattern determined by the display pattern determining means is determined. Number-of-times storing means for storing each of them, appearance rate calculating means for calculating various appearance rates under various conditions for each display pattern based on the number of determinations stored in the number of times storing means, and the display pattern When the display pattern is selected by the determining unit, the level of the various appearance rates calculated by the appearance rate calculating unit and a predetermined value that is a predetermined reference corresponding to each of the various appearance rates under various conditions And an appearance rate determination unit that is classified into the first type development when the display pattern determining unit selects a display pattern that identifies the first type development. While performing the first type development determination for determining whether or not the appearance rate of the display pattern is higher than the corresponding specified value, the display pattern for specifying the second type development by the display pattern determination means is provided. If selected, the second type expansion primary determination is performed to determine whether the appearance rate of the display pattern classified as the second type expansion is higher than the corresponding specified value, and the second type expansion primary When the determination result is negative, a second type expansion secondary determination is performed to determine whether the appearance rate of the selected display pattern is higher than a corresponding specified value, and the display When determining the display pattern, the pattern determining means selects the display pattern for specifying the first type development, and the determination result of the first type development determination is affirmed according to the determination result of the appearance rate determining means. In this case, instead of the selected display pattern, the display pattern is reselected by executing the first type expansion reselection lottery that makes it easy to reselect display patterns other than the display pattern that specifies the first type expansion. On the other hand, when the determination result of the first type expansion determination by the appearance rate determination means is negative, the display pattern selected without performing the first type expansion reselection lottery is determined as it is. In determining the display pattern, when a display pattern for specifying the second type development is selected, the display pattern is selected in accordance with the determination result of the appearance rate determination means and when the determination result of the second type expansion primary determination is affirmative. While re-selecting and determining the display pattern by executing a second-type development primary reselection lottery that makes it easy to re-select display patterns other than the display pattern that specifies the second-type development instead of the displayed pattern. When the determination result of the second type expansion primary determination is negative and the determination result of the second type expansion secondary determination is affirmative, the second type instead of the selected display pattern is used. On the other hand, the display pattern is re-selected and determined by executing a second type expansion secondary re-selection lottery that makes it easy to re-select display patterns other than the display pattern among the display patterns that specify opening. When the determination result of the seed development primary determination and the determination result of the second seed development secondary determination are both negative, the selection is performed without executing the second seed development primary reselection lottery and the second seed development secondary reselection lottery.
