Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can suggest a result or a gaming state of a symbol variation game.

  Conventionally, a pachinko machine, which is a kind of gaming machine, includes, for example, a liquid crystal display type variable display, and a symbol combination game in which a plurality of types of symbols are changed in the variable display to derive a combination of symbols (symbol changing game) Has been done. Then, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination derived in the symbol combination game and finally stopped and displayed. Some of these pachinko machines are provided with operation means (operation buttons) that can be operated by the player in order to enhance the fun of the game (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In Patent Document 1, a first game effect that is a symbol variation game and a second game effect that uses an operation button are performed separately from the first game effect by a variable display. Specifically, when the reach state is reached in the symbol variation game, an instruction is given to operate the operation buttons at a predetermined timing in the second game effect. When the operation button is operated in accordance with this instruction, a predetermined display image in the second game effect changes according to the operation result. Further, when the next reach state is reached, the display content (background image) of the variable display in the second game effect is changed according to the operation result. Therefore, the player can be made to actively operate the operation buttons.

JP 2006-263365 A (paragraph numbers [0072] to [0103], FIGS. 5 to 12)

  By the way, the 2nd game production of the pachinko machine of patent document 1 has nothing to do with the game state or the symbol variation game except that the operation valid period of the operation button is the reach state. For example, no matter what effect is performed based on the operation of the operation button in the second game effect, the second game effect does not suggest that the jackpot probability is a probability change state with a high probability. Also, it did not suggest the jackpot reliability of the reach state. Further, in Patent Document 1, just because more operation buttons are operated in the second game effect, the ratio of notifying that the game state is advantageous to the player does not change. For this reason, the player is rarely interested in the meaning of the display content itself of the variable display in the second game effect. That is, the second game effect is not an effect in which the player wants to know the meaning of the display content itself (the operation button is operated), but enjoys that the display content changes according to the operation result. It was the production to be played as.

  Therefore, it is not possible to actively operate the operation button for a player who is not interested in the game effect of the second game effect. If the operation button is not operated, the display content of the second game effect is not changed, and there is a risk of a vicious circle in which interest in the game is further reduced.

It is assembled as possible. On the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13 a of the game board 13, a decoration lamp 16 that performs a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.) is provided. A speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect based on the sound output is arranged below the outer frame 11. A lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13.

  As shown in FIG. 2, an effect display device 20 with various displays and various decorations is attached to the approximate center of the game area 13 a of the game board 13. A special symbol display H0 as a display means for displaying a symbol variation game performed by varying a special symbol (special symbol) is disposed at the lower right portion of the effect display device 20. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) whether or not the big hit. In addition, a variable display H2 as a display means is provided in the approximate center of the effect display device 20. The variable display H2 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this 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 variable display H2, a symbol combination composed of a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol change game of the variable display H2 is performed using decorative symbols (hereinafter referred to as decorative symbols) for diversifying display effects.

  In the variable display H2, a display effect based on a variation image (or image display) is performed, and a symbol variation game is executed in which a symbol combination is displayed by varying a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns. Furthermore, in the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game executed on the special figure display H0 is performed. In the special symbol display device H0 and the variable display device H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration diagram are displayed in a fixed stop state simultaneously). Then, on the variable display H2 and the special symbol display H0, symbols that can recognize a big hit or a loss at the same time by the end of the symbol variation game are displayed on the fixed stop based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the special figure display H0 selects one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery from a plurality of types of special figures, and the selected special figure is displayed when the symbol variation game is completed. The fixed stop is displayed. A plurality of types of special symbols in this embodiment are classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a jackpot, (corresponding to a jackpot display result), and a missed symbol that can recognize a loss. The jackpot symbol includes a jackpot symbol that is selected when the winner of the jackpot lottery is selected and the 15-round jackpot game is determined to be awarded, and the jackpot symbol that is selected when the grant of the two-round jackpot game is determined. . In addition, the lost symbols include a lost symbol selected when winning the small hit lottery performed when the big hit lottery is not won, and a lost symbol selected when not winning the small hit lottery. is there. In the following description, out of the missing symbols, the missing symbol selected when winning the small hit game may be indicated as “small hit symbol”.

  The symbol variation game of the variable display H2 is executed in association with the variation display result of the symbol variation game of the special symbol display H0 being executed, and the variation display result of the decoration corresponding to the variation display result of the special diagram Is derived. Specifically, in the variable display H2, when the big hit lottery is won, the symbol combination of the decorative figure corresponding to the big win symbol derived to the special figure display H0 is fixedly stopped and displayed. For example, there is a combination ([111] or the like) in which all the rows (3 rows) of the decorations correspond to the jackpot symbol. On the other hand, in the variable display H2, when the big hit lottery is not won, the symbol combination of the decorative pattern corresponding to the off symbol derived to the special symbol display H0 is confirmed and stopped. For example, a combination of decorative patterns corresponding to the out-of-pattern symbol is a combination in which the decorative drawings in all rows (three rows) do not become the same decorative drawing ([124], etc.) There are combinations (such as [221] and [112]) in which one row of decorative drawings is a different decorative drawing. In addition, when it is determined that the two-round big hit game or the small hit game is given, a predetermined symbol combination ([121] [123] or the like) is displayed among the out-of-order symbol combinations. In the present embodiment, on the variable display H2, a pattern imitating the numbers [1] to [8] is displayed as a decoration for each column.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the display area (image display surface) of the variable display H2 is formed larger than the display area of the special-purpose display H0 so that the variable display H2 stands out in front of the player. Is arranged. For this reason, the player pays attention to the display content of the variable display H2 in which the display effect (for example, the reach effect or the notice effect) is performed by various images in front of his / her own eyes than the special-purpose display H0. A big hit or loss is recognized from the symbol combination derived and stopped in the symbol variation game of the variable display H2. In the present embodiment, when the symbol variation game of the variable display H2 is started, each column is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). When the symbol variation game starts (when each column begins to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle symbol) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The fluctuation stops in order. When the left and right symbols displayed by stopping the change are of the same type, a reach is formed, and the reach is recognized from the combination of symbols ([1 ↓ 1] etc., where “↓” indicates that the change is in progress). obtain. Reach is displayed with the same type of symbols in a specific column (left column and right column in the present embodiment) among a plurality of columns, and columns other than the specific column (middle column in the present embodiment) are variably displayed. It is a state that has been.

The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game, triggered by the detection of the entry of the game ball (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened (whether a game ball can be inserted into the lower starting winning opening 27). It is. As described above, the lower start winning opening 27 is normally closed by the opening / closing blade 26, but the opening / closing blade 26 is opened when a game state is given per game. It will be in an open state and can enter a game ball. In other words, the specific opening condition described above is a win for a lottery per ordinary figure. Then, when the game state is given per usual figure, it becomes easier to enter the game ball into the lower start winning opening 27 by opening the opening / closing blade 26.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a general-purpose holding display device M is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. The general-purpose hold indicator M has a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 23 and becomes a start-retained ball (hereinafter referred to as a “normal-use start-retained ball”), which is stored in the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display for displaying the number of starting and holding balls stored (hereinafter referred to as “the number of ordinary maps stored”). . The usual-pending memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the operating gate 23, and decremented by 1 (-1) when the usual-game is started. Then, when a game ball enters the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the general-purpose reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). The general hold indicator M is composed of a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a first hold lamp M1, a second hold lamp M2, a third hold lamp M3, and a fourth hold lamp M4. For example, when the first hold lamp M1, the second hold lamp M2, and the third hold lamp M3 are lit, it is informed that three ordinary games are on hold. In addition, on the upper surface of the upper plate 15, an effect operation button BT is provided as an effect operation means that can be operated by a player (and an employee of the game hall).

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability changing function is a function for providing a probability changing state in which the probability of winning a lottery (winning probability) after a big hit game is changed from a normal probability having a low probability (normal state) to a high probability. The probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10,000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is executed or until a big hit is generated before the number of times 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 the present embodiment, the probability variation state is set to 10000 times as a predetermined number of times, and is therefore substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit is generated. In addition, if a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability and a big hit is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player expects to become a probability variation big hit. While playing games.

  In the present embodiment, a promiscuous state is given after the jackpot game is finished (a state where a lottery probability is high) is given, and a promiscuous state is not given after the jackpot game is finished (a lottery probability is low). Is a non-probable big hit).

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a function of shortening the variation time (hereinafter referred to as “variation”). The variable function is a variable state in which the variation time of the normal game is shortened and the random probability (winning probability) of the general game based on the passage of the operation gate 23 varies from a normal probability having a low probability to a high probability. Is a function for granting as a privilege. Also, the open / close blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened and closed with different operation patterns when winning in the normal game, depending on whether the variable state is given or not. It has become. For example, when the normal game is won when the variable state is not given, the opening / closing blade 26 opens for the first number of times (for example, once), and then opens for the first opening time (for example, 0.3). (Seconds)) It keeps open until it passes. On the other hand, when the normal game is won when the variable state is given, the number of times the opening / closing blade 26 opens is increased (for example, three times) to become the second number larger than the first number, and once. The opening state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1.4 (seconds)) longer than the first opening time elapses after the opening. In other words, the open / close blade 26 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the variable state is not applied. During the variable speed state, the opening / closing blade 26 operates favorably for the player, and the rate of entry of game balls into the lower start winning opening 27 per unit time is improved. Become. The variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are played, or until a big hit occurs before the number of games is reached. It should be noted that the number of times that the short / short state is given varies depending on the gaming state when winning the jackpot.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game (15 round jackpot game and two round jackpot game) and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
Initially, the jackpot game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when winning a big hit lottery based on each start holding ball detected at the upper start winning port 25 and the lower start winning port 27, among the three types of big wins shown in FIG. One jackpot is determined, and a jackpot game based on the determined jackpot is awarded. Which of the three types of jackpots is to be awarded is determined according to the type of special figure (jacket symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, there are 100 types of special illustrations as jackpot symbols, and the 100 types of special illustrations are distributed by a predetermined number. In FIG. 4, in order to simplify the description, special symbols distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “specific symbol A”, “specific symbol B”, and “non-specific symbol C”.

  The jackpot game based on the specific symbol A is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the specific symbol A is referred to as a “probability 15 round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “once” in each round game. Further, in the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is finished and the variation state is given until the end of the probability variation state. In FIG. 4, the case where the variable state is given until the end of the certain variable state is described as “no limit”.

  The jackpot game based on the specific symbol B is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a certain change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the specific symbol B is referred to as a “probability two-round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls (count) for a single round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the probabilistic two-round big hit game, it is set to open the grand prize winning opening 29 “once” in each round game. In the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probabilistic state is given after the jackpot game is finished, and the variable state is given until the end of the probabilistic state, and the probable state after the jackpot game is finished. There is a case to give only. In this embodiment, the probability variation 2 round big hit game is the first hit game.

  The jackpot game based on the non-specific symbol C is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and the probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game ends (the non-probability variation state is imparted). Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the non-specific symbol C is referred to as “non-probable 15 round jackpot game”. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (count number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game based on the non-specific symbol C, a variable state is assigned with a predetermined number of times (100 in the present embodiment) as the upper limit number after the jackpot game ends.

  It should be noted that “low accuracy + no change”, “low accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” shown in the “when hit” column of FIG. These four states indicate the following states, respectively. “Low accuracy + no change” indicates a non-probability change state and a non-change change state, and is “normal state” in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment. “Low probability + variable” indicates a non-probable state and a variable state, and in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the “low probability + variable” state is won for a non-probable 15 round jackpot game. Produced by doing. “High accuracy + no change” indicates a state of accuracy change and a non-change state. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + no change” is “low accuracy + no change”. Produced by winning a promising 2 round jackpot game in the state of. “Highly accurate + variable” indicates a probable state and a variable state, and in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the “highly accurate + variable” state is won by 15 rounds of probability variation big hit game. Produced by. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + variation” is the state of “low accuracy + variation”, “high accuracy + no variation”, or “high accuracy + variation”. It is also created by winning a probable 2 round jackpot game in the state of "."

Next, the small hit game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when winning the small hit lottery based on each start holding ball detected by the upper start winning opening 25 and the lower start winning opening 27, the small hit shown in FIG. 4 is determined, A small hit game based on the determined small hit is given. In the present embodiment, there are special symbols as a plurality of types of small hit symbols, and the special symbols as the small hit symbols are distributed by a predetermined number. In FIG. 4, in order to simplify the description, the special drawings distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “small hit symbol D”.

  In the small hit game based on the small hit symbol D, the specified number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number of balls (count) for one round game is set to “9”. . Further, in the single round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize winning opening 29 is opened “twice”. That is, in the present embodiment, in one round game of the small hit game, the big winning opening 29 is opened for the same number of rounds as the number of rounds set in the probability variation 2 round big hit game. In the small hit game, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probable state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is changed. If it is in the state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the variable state. In addition, in the small win game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the non-probable change state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is In the non-variable state, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the non-variable state. In this embodiment, the small hit game is the second hit game.

  In this embodiment, the time from the stop of the fluctuation of the symbol variation game that gives the probability variation 2 round jackpot game to the start of the next symbol variation game through the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, and the symbol variation game that grants the small variation game. The time from the change stop to the start of the next symbol change game through the small hit game is set to the same time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game based on the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 29. That is, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning game 2 round big hit game or the small win game is given from the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening 29 or the time.

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

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined order. The main CPU 30a is connected to a ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main CPU 30a and a RAM 30c that can write and call necessary data. The main CPU 30a is connected to an upper start sensor SE1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize opening 25 and a lower start opening sensor SE2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize opening 27. Has been. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 29 and a gate sensor SE4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 23. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special symbol display H0, a normal symbol display H10, a holding display R, and a general drawing holding display M. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected to a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL1 for operating the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blade 26 and a large winning opening solenoid SOL2 for operating the opening / closing operation of the large winning opening door 28. .

  The main CPU 30a sequentially updates the values of various random numbers such as special hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol random numbers, and universal hit determination random numbers every predetermined cycle. Then, the main CPU 30a rewrites the value before update by setting the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 30c. The special hit determination random number for special figures is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) to determine whether to win or not, and if the big hit lottery is not won, the small hit lottery to determine whether to win the big hit This is a random number used in (small hit determination). The jackpot symbol random number is a random number used to determine a special chart to be confirmed and stopped on the special chart display H0 in the case of a big hit. Moreover, the hit determination random number for a common figure is a random number used in the lottery per common figure (determination per common figure) for determining whether or not to make a hit per common figure. Further, the main CPU 30a of the present embodiment is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started).

  The ROM 30b stores a main control program for controlling the pachinko machine 10, various determination values (such as a big hit determination value, a small hit determination value, a normal hit determination value), a plurality of types of variation patterns, and the like. The variation pattern indicates a pattern that is a base of a game effect (display effect, light emission effect, sound effect) from the start of the symbol change game to the end of the game. In the variation pattern, a game production effect time (variation time) is defined for each variation pattern.

  The variation pattern includes a variation pattern for a jackpot effect that is selected when the big hit lottery is won, and a variation pattern for a loss effect that is selected in the case of a loss that is not won the big hit lottery. The fluctuation pattern for outlier production includes a fluctuation pattern with reach (fluctuation pattern for outlier reach production) that will eventually become a deviation after the reach is formed, and a fluctuation pattern without reach that does not form a reach. There is. In addition, the variation pattern selected when the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game are determined in the present embodiment executes a common effect in the symbol variation game and is associated with the same variation time. It is a pattern. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the display content of the variable display H2 is visually recognized, it is not possible to distinguish between the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game.

  The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the hit determination random numbers for special figures. In addition, the big hit judgment value is a big hit judgment value for low probability used in the big hit lottery when the gaming state is non-probable change state (low probability lottery state), and a big hit when the gaming state is probable state (high probability lottery state) There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the lottery. For example, the possible numerical value of the random number for hit determination for special figure is set to all 600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and from that value, the big hit determination value for low probability is set. When two values are set, the rate at which the big hit determination is positively determined in the non-probability change state, that is, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is 2/600 (1/300). In addition, when 20 values are set as the high probability jackpot determination value, the rate at which the big hit determination is positively determined in the probability variation state, that is, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is 20/600 (1/30). Become.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the determination random number for special drawing. For example, the numerical value that can be taken by the random number for determination for special figure is set to all 600 kinds of integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and one of them is used as a small hit determination for small hit. When the value of is set, the rate at which the small hit determination is positively determined, that is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 1/600. The common figure determination value is a determination value used in a lottery per general figure, and is determined from the possible values of random numbers for general use. The figure per base figure is the low probability per base figure used in the lottery per lot when the gaming state is non-variable and the lot per lot when the game state is short. There is a judgment value per common figure for high probability to be used. For example, the number of possible random numbers for hit determination for common maps is set to a total of 251 integers from “0 (zero)” to “250”, from which the low-probability hit per-map determination When one value is set as the value, the rate at which the determination per common figure is positively determined in the non-variable state, that is, the winning probability is 1/251. In addition, when 250 values are set as the high probability common figure determination value, the rate at which the normal figure determination is positively determined in the variable state, that is, the winning probability is 250/251.

  The RAM 30c stores (sets) various types of information (such as various flags, various types of pending storage, timer values, and count values) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

Next, a variation pattern stored in the ROM 30b of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 shows some variation patterns among the plurality of variation patterns stored in the ROM 30b in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment.

  The variation patterns P1 and P2 are variation patterns for the offending effect (normal variation), and the variation times are different (the variation time of the variation pattern P2 <the variation time of the variation pattern P1). In the present embodiment, the variation pattern P1 is the second specific variation pattern, and the variation pattern P2 is the first specific variation pattern. Further, the variation patterns P3 to P6 are variation patterns for reach production (with reach) in which two types of reach production with different jackpot expectations are associated as production contents. Specifically, in the variation patterns P3 and P4, after the same symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the two left and right columns to form a reach state, the final symbol sequence (the middle column in the present embodiment) is varied, and a predetermined time has elapsed. This is a fluctuation pattern for normal reach (NR) that later derives symbols in the middle row. The variation patterns P5 and P6 are variation patterns for super reach (SR) which are performed by developing the contents of the effect of reach through the normal reach. Note that, in the pachinko machine 10, the super reach is more likely to produce a big hit expectation than the normal reach. In addition, the fluctuation patterns P3 and P5 are fluctuation patterns for outlier reach effects, while the fluctuation patterns P4 and P6 are fluctuation patterns for jackpot effects.

  The variation patterns P7 and P8 are mainly variation patterns that are selected when the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game are given. The variation pattern P7 is similar to the variation pattern P2 as the effect contents. “Normal fluctuation” is set. In addition, in the variation pattern P8, the contents of the effect of super reach are set as in the variation pattern P6.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a that can execute control operations in a predetermined procedure, a ROM 31b that stores a control program for the overall CPU 31a, and a RAM 31c that can write and read necessary data. In addition, a ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. In addition, a production operation button BT is connected to the overall CPU 31a, and an operation signal from the production operation button BT is input. The operation signal is a signal output by the effect operation button BT every time the effect operation button BT is operated. The general CPU 31a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which the symbol variation game is started).

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a that can execute a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a ROM 32b that stores a control program for the sub CPU 32a, and a RAM 32c that can write and read necessary data. An effect display device 20 (variable display H2) is connected to the sub CPU 32a. Further, the sub CPU 32a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the main control board 30 (main CPU 30a), the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), and the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) will be described.
First, the control contents of the main control board 30 will be described.

  When the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the upper start winning port 25 or the lower start winning port 27 and inputs detection signals output from the start port sensors SE1 and SE2 that detect the game ball, the main CPU 30a inputs to the RAM 30c. It is determined whether or not the stored storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment).

  If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (holding memory count <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the holding memory count and rewrites the holding memory count. Further, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the hold determination, the main CPU 30a obtains the value of the special hit determination random number and the value of the big hit symbol random number from the RAM 30c, and associates the values with the hold storage number to the RAM 30c. Stored in a predetermined storage area. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory number = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the holding memory number exceeding the upper limit number, and the hit determination random number value and jackpot symbol for the special figure Do not get a random value.

  Then, the main CPU 30a reads the value of the special hit determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, The jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b is compared to determine whether or not the jackpot is big (lottery lottery). In the big hit determination, when the gaming state is the normal state, the main CPU 30a compares the big probability determination value for low probability with the value of the random number for hit determination for the special figure, and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state. Is compared with the value of the jackpot determination value for high probability and the value of the random number for hit determination for special figure.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the big hit determination value match), the main CPU 30a determines the big hit. Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines a jackpot symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game based on the value of the random symbol for the symbol symbol for special symbol. As shown in FIG. 4, the special bonus jackpot symbol is assigned to each type of jackpot game. Therefore, by determining the jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, determining the specific symbol A means determining the probability 15 round jackpot to give the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, and determining the specific symbol B is the probability variation 2. Probabilistic 2 round jackpots that grant round jackpot games will be determined. Further, determining the non-specific symbol C determines the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot that gives the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that determines the type of the big hit game when the big win is won serves as the hit game determining means. Further, the main CPU 30a that performs the winning lottery functions as the winning lottery means.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the jackpot symbol stores the determined jackpot symbol in the RAM 30c. The main CPU 30a that has determined the big hit selects and determines one fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation patterns that can be selected when the big hit is won. Specifically, the main CPU 30a in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment selects one of the variation pattern P4 and the variation pattern P6 when it is determined to give the probability variation 15 round big hit game. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a selects either the variation pattern P7 or the variation pattern P8 when it is determined to give the probability variation 2-round jackpot game. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that determines the variation pattern serves as the variation pattern selection means.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a stores the special hit determination random number value and the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value (whether the small hit determination value for the symbol variation game) is compared to determine whether or not it is a small hit. If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value coincide with each other), the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and sets the small hit to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game A winning symbol (special symbol) is determined, and one variation pattern is selected from among variation patterns that can be selected when winning a small hit. Specifically, the main CPU 30a selects one of the variation pattern P7 and the variation pattern P8 when winning a small hit.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination as to whether or not to make a loss reach. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the outlier reach, determines the outlier symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and selects from the variation patterns that can be selected during the outlier reach. One variation pattern is selected and determined. Specifically, the main CPU 30a selects one of the fluctuation pattern P3 and the fluctuation pattern P5 when the outlier reach is determined.

  When the determination result of reach determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines an outage, determines an out symbol (special image) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and selects a variation pattern that can be selected at the time of the outage. One variation pattern is selected and determined. Specifically, the main CPU 30a selects one of the fluctuation pattern P1 and the fluctuation pattern P2 when the deviation is determined. Incidentally, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the number of stored start balls is 0 or 1, the probability that the variation pattern P1 is selected is higher than the variation pattern P2. On the other hand, when the number of stored start and hold balls is 2 to 4, the probability that the variation pattern P2 is selected is higher than the variation pattern P1. Moreover, when the variable state is given, it is set so that the probability that the variation pattern P2 is selected is higher than the variation pattern P1.

  The main CPU 30a having determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. Next, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol stop designating command for instructing the special symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time determined in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number. And main CPU30a controls the display content of the special figure display H0 with the start of a symbol change game. That is, the main CPU 30a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and the special symbol determined when the variation time determined in the determined variation pattern has elapsed (a big hit symbol, a small bonus symbol, or an outlier symbol). Is displayed with a fixed stop.

  When the main CPU 30a enters a game ball into the operation gate 23 and inputs a detection signal output from the gate sensor SE4 that detects the game ball, the main CPU 30a has an upper limit for the number of reserved memories stored in the RAM 30c. Whether or not the number is less than the number (4 in this embodiment) is determined. If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for normal use <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the number of reserved memories for normal use, and rewrites the number of reserved memories for normal use. Further, the main CPU 30a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for ordinary use is rewritten. Further, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the hold determination, the main CPU 30a acquires a random value for hit determination for the common map from the RAM 30c, and associates the value with the hold memory number for the normal map in a predetermined amount of the RAM 30c. Store in the storage area. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of reserved memory for ordinary maps = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the number of reserved memories for ordinary maps exceeding the upper limit, and The random number for judgment is not acquired.

  The main CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hitting determination for normal use stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c immediately before the start of the normal game, and this value and the determination value for normal response stored in the ROM 30b. Are compared with each other to determine whether or not it is per common map. In the base hit determination, the main CPU 30a compares the low probability base hit determination value with the base hit determination random number value when the gaming state is in the non-variable state, and the gaming state changes. In the case of the state, the judgment value for high probability for common maps is compared with the value of random numbers for common judgment for common maps.

  And main CPU30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 with the start of a usual game. That is, the main CPU 30a starts the fluctuation of the usual figure by the start of the usual figure game, and displays the fixed figure (winning symbol or off symbol) determined at the time of elapse of a predetermined fluctuation time. The main CPU 30a sets different fluctuation times as the fluctuation times of the normal game according to the gaming state at the start of the normal game, and displays the fixed figure in a fixed stop state. For example, the main CPU 30a sets the first time as the variation time in the non-variable state, and sets the second time shorter than the non-variable state as the variation time in the variable state. As a result, the fluctuation time of the usual game played in the variable state is shortened compared to the fluctuation time of the usual game played in the non-variable state.

Next, as the control content executed by the main control board 30, the control content related to the execution of the hit game (big hit game, small hit game, and hit game at the time of normal hit) will be described.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the big hit game and the small hit game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and outputs an ending command at the end. The opening command instructs the start of the opening, the round command instructs the start of the round game, and the ending command instructs the start of the ending. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a release signal for opening the big winning opening 29 at the start of each round game in each big hit game and small hit game. The opening signal is output to the big prize opening solenoid SOL2, and the big winning opening solenoid SOL2 is operated by the opening signal, and the big prize opening door 28 is opened. In addition, the main CPU 30a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game and inputs a detection signal from the count switch SW3 disposed in the big winning opening 29 in each big hit game and small hit game. Count the number of game balls that entered during the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a, in each of the big hit games and the small hit games, fulfills one of the end conditions that the round game time has elapsed and that the upper limit number of game balls have entered the game, A closing signal for closing 29 is output. The closing signal is output to the big winning opening solenoid SOL2, and the big winning opening solenoid SOL2 is activated by the closing signal, and the big winning opening door 28 is closed.

  The main CPU 30a that has finished the big hit game and the small hit game, when the reserved memory number for the special figure at the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is "1" or more, based on the start hold ball, Start the next symbol variation game. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a, when the reserved memory number for the special figure at the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is “0”, the game ball enters the upper start winning port 25 or the lower start winning port 27 and starts. It waits, without running a symbol change game until conditions are satisfied.

  In addition, the main CPU 30a that ended each jackpot game executes a probability change grant determination as to whether or not to grant a probability change state after the jackpot game ends. Then, based on the determination result of the determination (whether the lottery probability state of the winning lottery is set to the high probability lottery state), the main CPU 30a gives a certain change state (high probability lottery state) when the determination result is affirmative. . On the other hand, when the determination result is negative, the main CPU 30a does not give a probability variation state (determines a low probability lottery state as a lottery probability of winning lottery). In this embodiment, when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game are won, the probability variation grant determination is positively determined. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the non-probability variation 15 round big hit game is won, the probability variation grant determination is negative. In addition, the main CPU 30a that ended each jackpot game, based on the determination result of whether or not to give a change state after the jackpot game ends (whether or not to give an improved entrance rate state), When the determination result is affirmative, a short state (entrance rate improvement state) is given, and when the determination result is negative, a short state is not given. In the present embodiment, when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game are won, the variable grant determination is affirmed. Also, in this embodiment, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won in any of the gaming states of “low probability + variation”, “high probability + variation”, and “high probability + variation”. If it is determined that the change granting determination is affirmative. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the probability variation 2 round big hit game is won in the gaming state of “low probability + no variation”, the variation grant determination is negative.

  The main CPU 30a having affirmatively determined the change grant determination outputs a change operation command to the overall CPU 31a instructing to change the gaming state to the change state. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a having made a negative determination of the change grant determination outputs to the overall CPU 31a a change non-operation command for instructing the gaming state to be a non-change state. Then, the main CPU 30a to which the variable state is given counts the number of times the symbol variable game is executed after the big hit game is finished. When the main CPU 30a is elected to the non-probability variable 15 round big hit game, when the counted number of executions reaches a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment), the predetermined number of symbol variation games At the end of the process, a variable end command for instructing the end of the variable state is output to the overall CPU 31a.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that determines the lottery probability state of the winning lottery serves as the lottery probability determining means. Further, the main CPU 30a that determines whether or not to give the entrance rate improvement state becomes the entrance rate improvement state determination means. Further, the main CPU 30a that gives the increased entrance rate state serves as an increased entrance rate state giving means.

  In the case of a small hit game, since the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit game is maintained, the main CPU 30a controls the game state at the time of winning the small hit game even during the small hit game, and the small hit game. A command for specifying the gaming state is not output after completion. That is, when the main CPU 30a wins the small hit game, the main CPU 30a does not perform the probability change grant determination and the change grant grant determination.

Next, the control of the opening / closing blade 26 at the time of normal symbol hit will be described.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal for opening the opening and closing blades 26 and a closing signal for closing the opening and closing blades 26 after the end of the normal game for the normal drawing, and controls the opening mode of the opening and closing blades 26. . The opening signal and the closing signal are output to the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 is activated by the opening signal, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, and the ordinary electric combination is received by the closing signal. The object solenoid SOL1 is activated, and the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. And main CPU30a controls the open mode of the opening-and-closing blade 26 according to the game state at the time of hitting a usual figure. Specifically, in the non-changeable state, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 for the first number of times (for example, 1 (times)) in the first opening time (for example, 0.3 (seconds)). To control. In the variable state, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be opened for the second number of times (for example, 3 (times)) in the second opening time (for example, 1.4 (seconds)).

  The main CPU 30a that has finished the opening control of the opening and closing blades 26 based on the usual figure, when the number of reserved figures for the usual figure at the time of the completion is “1” or more, Start the game. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a, when the number of reserved memory for the usual figure at the end of the opening control of the opening and closing blade 26 is "0", until the start condition is satisfied until the game ball enters the operation gate 23. Wait without running the game.

Next, the control contents executed by the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a) according to the overall control program will be described.
When the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 receives the change pattern designation command, it outputs the change pattern designation command to the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively. In addition, when the general CPU 31a inputs a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol, the decorative symbol constituting the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. To decide. In addition, when a special symbol stop symbol designation command is input, if the big bonus symbol is designated as the special symbol stop symbol designation, the general CPU 31a stores the designated special symbol big bonus symbol in the RAM 31c. To do. Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs a symbol stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively. In addition, when the general CPU 31a inputs an opening command, a round command, and an ending command from the main control board 30, display control is performed for an effect instruction command for instructing a predetermined effect content according to the big hit game and the small hit game that are given. Output to the board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively.

  When the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the probability variation jackpot as the symbol combination of the decorative symbol. To do. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a can recognize the non-probable variation jackpot as the symbol combination of the decoration diagram. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation two-round jackpot game, the general CPU 31a uses a symbol combination that can recognize a loss as a symbol symbol combination. Among them, a predetermined specific symbol combination (chance) is determined. The specific symbol combination includes an outlier symbol combination that does not form a reach, and an outlier symbol combination that forms a reach. When the variation pattern P7 is selected, the overall CPU 31a determines an unrecognized symbol combination that does not form a reach as a chance. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P8 is selected, the overall CPU 31a determines reach as a chance. The combination of symbols to be formed is determined. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a small hit symbol, the general CPU 31a performs a specific symbol combination (chance) in the same manner as in the probability variation two round big hit game. Eye). In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a missing symbol excluding the small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the deviation. In the case of an outlier design, when determining a symbol combination that can recognize a discrepancy, the combination may be determined excluding the specific symbol combination, or the combination including the specific symbol combination is determined. May be. Then, the overall CPU 31a that has determined the decoration drawing outputs a stop symbol designating command for decoration drawing designating the decoration drawing to the display control board 32.

  The overall CPU 31a is connected to the production operation button BT, and detects that the production operation button BT has been pressed by inputting an operation signal from the production operation button BT. Yes. Then, the overall CPU 31a that has detected the pressing operation of the effect operation button BT outputs a button operation command indicating that the button has been operated to each of the control boards 32-34.

  In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a sets the RAM 31c to be assigned a probability variation state. On the other hand, the general CPU 31a sets in the RAM 31c that the normal state (non-probability variation state) is given when the stop symbol (special diagram) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a big hit symbol corresponding to the non-probability variation big hit game. To do. Further, the general CPU 31a sets the RAM 31c that the change state is given when the change operation command is input, and sets the RAM 31c that the change state is not given when the change end command is input. Then, the overall CPU 31a stores and maintains the current setting contents in the RAM 31c until a variable speed operation command and a variable speed end command are input. Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs these commands, ie, the change operation command and the change end command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the respective commands to the control boards 32-34.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a plurality of mode effects having different effect modes as effects performed by the effect display device 20. Specifically, the probability change notification mode production (hereinafter referred to as probability variation mode) and the probability variation latency confirmation mode effect (hereinafter referred to as probability variation latency confirmation mode) that can stay when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state. And are set. In the probability variation mode, the player is surely notified that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery state is a high probability lottery state, while in the probability variation latency confirmation mode, the confirmation is similar to the probability variation mode. There is no specific notification, and the fact that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high probability state is set as a hidden state. In addition, the mode effect set in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment includes a probability variation latent suggestion that the player can stay regardless of whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state. A mode effect (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation latent suggestion mode) and a normal mode effect (hereinafter referred to as a normal mode) are set. The probability variation latency suggestion mode is a mode for staying when shifting to the probability variation latency confirmation mode, and includes a first probability variation latency suggestion mode and a second probability variation latency suggestion mode. The normal mode is a mode in which the user stays when shifting to the probability variation latent suggestion mode.

  In the following explanation, “the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state” is indicated as an internal high probability state, and “the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a low probability lottery state”. May indicate an internal low probability state. In the present embodiment, the internal high accuracy state is positioned as an effect with high expectation in the order of normal mode <first probability variation latent suggestion mode <second probability variation latent suggestion mode <probability variation latent confirmation mode = probability variation mode. Yes. Further, in the following description, the first probability variation latency suggestion mode and the second probability variation latency suggestion mode may be collectively referred to as a “probability variation latency suggestion mode”.

  In addition, a game state notification image is displayed on the effect display device 20 in each effect mode. Specifically, in the normal mode, the background image G1 as the gaming state notification image is displayed, while in the first probability variation latent suggestion mode, the background image G2 as the gaming state notification image is displayed. An image is displayed, and a background image G3 as a gaming state notification image is displayed in the second probability variation latent suggestion mode. Further, in the probability variation latency determination mode, the background image G4 as a gaming state notification image is displayed. On the other hand, in the probability variation mode, the background image G5 as a gaming state notification image is displayed. It has become. These background images G <b> 1 to G <b> 5 have different image contents, and the player can grasp the current mode from the type of the background image displayed on the effect display device 20. The background image is an image projected on the back of the symbol.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the probability variation mode is an effect (mode) that is executed while the probability variation state and the variation state are both given up to the next big hit game. . Further, the first probability variation latency suggestion mode, the second probability variation latency suggestion mode, the probability variation latency confirmation mode, and the normal mode are effects (modes) that are executed when the variable state is not given.

  Next, transition modes to various modes as the game progresses and the contents of effects executed during the probability variation latent suggestion mode will be described. Note that details of the control of the overall CPU 31a during various modes will be described later.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the player is elected to either one of the probability variation 2 round big hit game or the small hit game while staying in the normal mode of “low probability + no change” (FIG. 8A), The mode is shifted to the first probability variation latent suggestion mode (FIG. 8B). In addition, after the end of the probability variation latency suggestion mode, if the final mission as a suggestion effect for notifying whether or not to shift to the probability variation latency confirmation mode fails, the probability variation latency suggestion mode is shifted to the normal mode (see FIG. 9 (e)). And even if it is a case where it transfers to the normal mode from the probability variation latency suggestion mode, it can transfer to the probability variation latency suggestion mode from the normal mode again. More specifically, when the final mission fails and the mode changes from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the normal mode, a re-transition lottery is performed to determine whether or not to transition from the normal mode to the probability variation latency suggestion mode again. (Refer to FIG. 10) When the re-transition lottery is won, the normal mode is shifted to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode (FIG. 8C). In the re-transition lottery, the ratio of re-transition to the probability variation latent suggestion mode is set to be higher in the case of the internal high probability state than in the internal low probability state. If the re-transfer lottery is not won, the normal mode is continued.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the re-transition lottery is performed in the probability variation 2 round big hit or small hit in the internal low probability state after the transition to the normal mode until 20 symbol variation games are executed. This is executed when the variation pattern P1 is selected without winning. On the other hand, in the internal high-accuracy state, it is executed when the variation pattern P1 is selected from the transition to the normal mode until the next big hit is won. However, when the re-transition lottery is executed in the low internal probability state, the number of times of transition from the normal mode to the probabilistic latent suggestion mode based on the win for the re-transition lottery without winning the probable 2-round big win or small win is The specified number of times (three times in the present embodiment) is set. On the other hand, when the re-transition lottery is executed in the internal high-accuracy state, the number of times of shifting from the normal mode to the probability variation latent suggestion mode based on the winning of the re-transition lottery is set to a predetermined number or more. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of times of transition from the normal mode to the probability variation latency suggestion mode has exceeded four times based on winning the re-transition lottery without winning the odd variation 2 round big hit game or the small hit game. In this case, it is possible to make the player visually recognize that the state is highly accurate.

  In addition, in the case of winning the mode transition lottery in which the first certain variation latent suggestion mode is shifted to the second certain variation latent suggestion mode during the first certain variation latent suggestion mode, the second certain variation latent suggestion mode is selected. There is a case to move to. In addition, while staying in the normal mode of “high accuracy + no change”, if you win a 2-round jackpot game with probability variation or win a 15-round jackpot game with probability variation, you can change from the normal mode to the probability variation mode ( FIG. 8D). In addition, when staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode of “high probability + no variation”, if the player wins the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the probability variation latency suggestion mode can be shifted to the probability variation mode (FIG. 8D).

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a mission effect (issue assignment effect) for presenting a predetermined task is executed during the stay in the probability variation latent suggestion mode. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of mission effects are set. Specifically, the “strong bow mission” is a task in which the character KY shoots a bow and hits the target (FIG. 9B), and the “sprint mission” in which the character KY runs a horse (FIG. 9 ( c)), a “jumping mission” in which the character KY jumps the horse is set (FIG. 9D). In these mission effects, the operation buttons BT for the effects are operated in order to perform the presented missions (tasks). Then, when the production operation button BT is operated with the aim of achieving (success) the task, points (values) corresponding to the result of the task are given to the player based on the operation of the production operation button BT. It has come to be. The points given by the operation of the effect operation button BT are accumulated every time a point is acquired based on the operation of the effect operation button BT during the probability variation latent suggestion mode period.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to execute a notice effect that suggests whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit in the symbol variation game in the probability variation latency suggestion mode and the probability variation latency confirmation mode. ing. In the present embodiment, as a notice effect, a fallen (in this embodiment, petal) W1 is displayed as an image in the display area of the effect display device 20, and a big hit is made depending on the presence / absence of a fallen notice and the timing of the fallen W1 if present. A “fall-off notice” is set to indicate the expectation level (FIG. 8F). Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as a notice effect, a character image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 20, and the level of big hit expectation is suggested depending on the presence or absence of the reach logo notice and the content of the character image when there is. “Reach logo notice” is set (FIG. 8G). Further, in the present embodiment, as a notice effect, the character KY is displayed as an image in the display area of the effect display device 20, and the level of big hit expectation is suggested depending on the presence or absence of the character KY and the type of the character KY. “Cut-in notice” is set (FIG. 8H). In addition, in the present embodiment, “telop notice” indicating the content of the mission (FIG. 8E) and “aura notice” for causing the background image OR of a specific color to appear around the character KY can be executed. (FIG. 9A). These notice effects are respectively executed at predetermined execution timings from the start of the symbol variation game (variation start) to the end of the symbol variation game.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, a “sense effect” that suggests the possibility of executing a mission effect is executable. As shown in FIG. 9A, the sense effect is executed before the timing at which the mission effect is executed, and a specific message is displayed in the message display frame W2. At this time, in the variable display H2, as shown in FIG. 9A, the sensing effect and the aura notice can be executed at the same timing.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a mission effect is executed during the probability variation latent suggestion mode, each time a mission is performed based on the operation of the effect operation button BT, the subordinate of the acquired points is used. Thus, it is ranked into a plurality of (four in this embodiment) classes (ranks). The acquired points (Pt) are cumulatively displayed every time points are added to the point display frame W3 displayed at the lower right of the variable display H2 (FIGS. 9B to 9). e)). The class associated with the acquired points is displayed in the class display frame W4 displayed on the lower left side of the variable display H2 (FIGS. 9B to 9E).

  The pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured such that the final mission is executed after the mission effect execution period ends (FIG. 9E). Note that the “final mission” in the present embodiment has an issue of defeating an enemy character that opposes the character KY. The success rate of the final mission is set to be different depending on the internal lottery state and the class, and the higher the internal high-accuracy state and the higher the class, the easier it is to succeed. When the final mission is successful (FIG. 9 (f)), the mode changes from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode (FIG. 9 (g)). In the following explanation, in order to distinguish between “sprinting mission, archery mission, jumping mission” and “final mission”, “sprinting mission, archery mission, jumping mission” is combined with “point acquisition mission”. It may be shown.

  In this way, whether or not to shift to the probability variation latency determination mode is notified by the result of the final mission, and the final mission is more likely to succeed as the internal high-accuracy state and the class are higher. For this reason, in order to make the final mission “successful”, in the mission production that can be executed during the probability variation latent suggestion mode, a number of points must be acquired to promote the rank. And in order to acquire many points, unless the operation button BT for production is operated and actively participates in mission production, many points cannot be acquired. Therefore, the probability variation latent suggestion mode in the present embodiment is a point collection period for making the final mission successful (establishing the suggestion condition). When the final mission fails (FIG. 9 (h)), the mode changes from the probability variation latent suggestion mode to the normal mode (FIG. 9 (i)).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the transition is not made directly from the normal mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode. It is supposed to be. Then, since the probability variation latency suggestion mode shifts via the normal mode, the normal mode becomes a mode in which a stay is made when the transition condition for shifting to the probability variation latency suggestion mode is established. In the present embodiment, the probability variation latency determination mode is a special mode effect, the probability variation latency suggestion mode is a special mode effect, and the normal mode effect is a specific mode effect. Further, the first probability variation latency suggestion mode effect becomes the first special mode effect, and the second probability variation latency suggestion mode effect becomes the second special mode effect. Note that the mission effect can be executed even in the probability variation latency confirmation mode. In the present embodiment, the probability execution latency suggestion mode in which the mission effect is executed is an effect execution period for executing the mission effect.

Next, a process executed by the overall CPU 31a while staying in each production mode will be described.
In the present embodiment, the general CPU 31a stores information (flags and the like) indicating the type of effect mode during stay in the RAM 31c, and can specify the type of effect mode during stay based on the information. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a determines the transition from the effect mode during stay to another effect mode after the end of each winning game, the control CPU 31a sends an effect command that can specify the type of the determined effect mode to each control board 32 ~. 34. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a outputs a production command to instruct the type of the background image, thereby changing the background image based on the background pattern corresponding to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). An instruction to display an image on the display H2 is given.

  In addition, when executing the re-transfer lottery to determine whether or not to shift again from the normal mode to the probability variation latent suggestion mode, the general CPU 31a performs the re-transfer lottery, the lottery probability state at the time of the re-transfer lottery execution, and The number of times of transition from the normal mode to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode is stored. Then, the overall CPU 31a executes the fourth re-transition lottery while staying in the normal mode when the number of times of transition from the normal mode to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode exceeds 3 times during the internal low probability state. The fourth transition to the second likelihood variation suggestion mode is restricted.

Hereinafter, the control content related to the probability variation latent suggestion mode will be described.
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the contents to be executed (the type of mission effect and the contents of the mode transition effect) are distributed to the variation pattern selected during the probability variation latent suggestion mode. Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the selection is made when determining the contents of the effect to be executed according to the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery and the number of symbol variation games during the stay in the probability variation latent suggestion mode. Each table to be set is set (FIGS. 13 to 15). Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the table based on the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery and the number of times the symbol variation game is executed, and determines the type of mission effect to be executed and the contents of the mode transition effect based on the selected variation pattern. It is supposed to be.

  FIG. 12 is an effect pattern correspondence table in which the types of mission effects that can be executed during the stay in the probability variation latent suggestion mode and the contents of the mode transition effects are associated. In FIG. 12, a plurality of types (11 types in the present embodiment) of production patterns for specifying the types of mission effects that can be executed during the stay in the probability variation latent suggestion mode and the contents of the mode transition effects are associated. In FIG. 12, the “effect pattern” is simply indicated as “effect”. In the table shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the type of mission effect to be executed and the content of the mode transition effect, the execution mode of the sense effect is set for the effect pattern. In FIG. 12, “○ (maru)” indicates that the notification effect is executed, “△ (sankaku)” indicates that the notification effect is executed, and “not (not shown)” indicates that the notification effect is not executed. Shown as “x”.

  In the effect pattern A, the content of the mission effect is not set, and “Δ” is set for the sense effect. Therefore, it is understood that when the effect pattern A is selected, the mission effect cannot be executed. In the effect pattern B, “first mode transition effect” is set as the effect content. In the first mode transition effect based on the effect pattern B, after the execution of the effect, the first certain variation latent suggestion mode can be shifted to the second certain variation latent suggestion mode. In the effect pattern B, “Δ” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern C is an effect pattern that specifies “sprinting mission” as the effect content and is selected when the internal low probability state. In the effect pattern C, “◯” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern D is an effect pattern that specifies “strong bow mission” as the effect content and is selected when the internal low probability state. In the effect pattern D, “◯” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern E is an effect pattern that specifies “jumping mission” as the effect content and is selected when the internal low probability state. In addition, in the effect pattern E, “◯” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern F is an effect pattern that specifies “final mission” as the effect content. In the effect pattern F, “◯” is set for the sense effect.

  The effect pattern G is an effect pattern that specifies “probability change mode entry” as the effect content. In the mode transition effect based on the effect pattern G, after the execution of the effect, the mode changes to the probability change mode. The production pattern G can be selected when a winning game of winning two odd rounds is won while staying in the probability changing latent suggestion mode of “high accuracy + no change”. In the effect pattern G, “x” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern H is an effect pattern that specifies “sprinting mission” as the effect content and is selected in the state of high internal accuracy. In the effect pattern H, “◯” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern I is an effect pattern that specifies “strong bow mission” as the effect contents and is selected in the state of high internal accuracy. In the production pattern I, “◯” is set for the sensing production. The effect pattern J is an effect pattern that specifies “jumping mission” as the effect content and is selected in the state of high internal accuracy. In the effect pattern J, “◯” is set for the sense effect. The effect pattern K is an effect pattern that specifies “second mode transition effect” as the effect content. In the second mode transition effect based on the effect pattern K, after the execution of the effect, the normal mode, the probability variation latency confirmation mode, and the probability variation mode other than the staying mode and the normal variation mode There is a case to shift to the mode except. Also, the production pattern K is selected when winning a small hit game while staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode, or when winning a probability variation 2 round jackpot game while staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode of “low probability + no change”. It is possible. In the effect pattern K, “×” is set for the sense effect.

  FIG. 13 is a table (a low probability lottery table) that is referred to when the general CPU 31a determines an effect pattern in the low probability lottery state. On the other hand, FIG. 14 is a table (high-precision lottery table) that is referred to when the general CPU 31a determines an effect pattern in the high-probability lottery state. FIG. 15 also shows the effect pattern when the central CPU 31a selects the variation pattern P1 in the symbol variation game after the 20th time since entering the probability variation latent suggestion mode regardless of the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery. It is a table to be referred when doing. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the variation pattern P1 is not selected in the 20th symbol variation game after entering the probability variation latent suggestion mode, the lottery table shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. An effect pattern is determined based on the above. Each table of FIGS. 13 to 15 is stored in the ROM 31b. Further, in each table of FIGS. 13 to 15, a predetermined number of random numbers (all 101 kinds of integers from 0 to 100) are distributed so that any one of the production patterns A to K can be selected. . Moreover, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the production time set for the production patterns A to K is set to be shorter than the fluctuation time set for the selected fluctuation pattern. Therefore, the mission effect ends within the variation time of one symbol variation game.

  In the lottery table for low probability shown in FIG. 13, when the variation pattern P1 is selected, any one of the effect patterns B to E can be selected, while the variation pattern P2 is selected. In this case, only the effect pattern A can be selected. Further, when the variation patterns P3 to P6 and P8 are selected, any one of the effect patterns C to E can be selected. Therefore, when the variation pattern P1, P3 to P6, P8 is selected in the low probability lottery state, any one of the “sprinting mission”, “strong bow mission”, and “jumping mission” is performed. It has become so. In FIG. 13, the selection probability is set to increase in the order of “jumping mission” <“strong bow mission” <“sprinting mission”. In FIG. 13, when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won and the variation pattern P7 is selected while staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode of “high probability + no variation”, the production pattern G is selected. (Indicated by “*” in FIG. 13). On the other hand, if the variation pattern P7 is selected while winning the probability variation 2 round jackpot game while staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode of “low probability + no variation”, or the probability variation latency suggestion that the variation state is not given. When the small hit game is won during the mode stay and the variation pattern P7 is selected, the effect pattern K is set to be selected (indicated by “*” in FIG. 13).

  In the lottery table for high probability shown in FIG. 14, when the variation pattern P1 is selected, any one of the effect patterns B and H to J can be selected, while the variation pattern P2 is selected. When selected, only the effect pattern A can be selected. Further, when the variation patterns P3 to P6 and P8 are selected, any one of the effect patterns H to J can be selected. Accordingly, when the variation pattern P1, P3 to P6, P8 is selected in the high probability lottery state, any one of the “sprinting mission”, “strong bow mission”, and “jumping mission” is performed. It has become so. In FIG. 14, the selection probability of “jumping mission” is set to be higher than the low probability lottery table shown in FIG. 13. Therefore, the selection probability of the “jumping mission” is higher in the high probability lottery state than in the low probability lottery state. Therefore, in this embodiment, the “jumping mission” is a specific assignment assignment effect. In FIG. 14, the effect pattern G and the effect pattern K are selected under the same conditions as in FIG.

  In the lottery table referred to in the symbol variation game after the 20th rotation shown in FIG. 15, when the variation pattern P1 is selected, only the effect pattern F can be selected. Therefore, when the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 20th and subsequent symbol variation games, the effect pattern F that specifies the “final mission” is selected.

  The general CPU 31a counts the number of symbol variation games executed after the probability variation latency suggestion mode is started every time a variation pattern designation command is input during the probability variation latency suggestion mode. Then, if the number of symbol variation games executed after the probability variation latency suggestion mode is started is less than 20, the overall CPU 31a determines the lottery probability state at the start of the symbol variation game based on the setting mode of the RAM 31c. The lottery table of FIG. 13 or FIG. 14 is selected based on the confirmation result. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the variation pattern P1 has been selected when the number of symbol variation games executed after the probability variation latent suggestion mode has started reaches the 20th. If the determination result is negative (the variation pattern specifying the 20th symbol variation game is not the variation pattern P1), the overall CPU 31a determines the lottery probability state at the start of the symbol variation game based on the setting mode of the RAM 31c. Based on the confirmation result, the lottery table of FIG. 13 or FIG. 14 is selected to select an effect pattern. When the number of symbol variation games executed after the probability variation latent suggestion mode has started exceeds 20, the overall CPU 31a issues a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P1 every time the symbol variation game is started. It is determined whether or not it has been input. Then, until the variation pattern P1 is selected, an effect pattern is determined based on the lottery table shown in FIG. 13 or 14 according to the lottery probability state at the start of the symbol variation game.

  If the variation pattern P1 is selected as the variation pattern for specifying the 20th and subsequent symbol variation games after the probability variation latent suggestion mode starts, the overall CPU 31a displays the variation variation pattern P1 in FIG. 15 at the start of the symbol variation game. A lottery table to be shown is selected, and an effect pattern is determined from the lottery table. When the final mission is successful, the mode shifts from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode. On the other hand, when the final mission is unsuccessful, the mode shifts from the probability variation latent suggestion mode to the normal mode. In the present embodiment, the period from the start of the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the 19th symbol variation game is executed is a fixed period, while the symbol of the 20th and subsequent times after the probability variation latency suggestion mode is started. The period until the variation pattern P1 is selected in the variation game is a variable period.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the accumulated value of points acquired in the point acquisition mission reaches a predetermined value (for example, 50000 points), the overall CPU 31a performs control so as not to execute the point acquisition mission.

  Next, the overall CPU 31a determines detailed effect patterns distributed to each effect pattern based on the determined effect patterns (FIGS. 16 to 26). The detailed effect pattern corresponds to the effect pattern selected in FIGS. 13 to 15 and is a pattern used when specifying the effect content to be executed in the symbol variation game. In addition, in the tables shown in FIGS. 16 to 26, a predetermined number of random numbers (all 101 kinds of integers from 0 to 100) are selected so that a specific detailed effect pattern can be selected for the variation patterns P1 to P8. , Have been distributed.

  FIG. 16 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns distributed to the effect pattern A. In the distribution table shown in FIG. 16, only the detailed effect pattern MP1 classified as “out of R1” can be selected for the variation pattern P2. Note that the “outage R1” specifies the production contents for shortening variation that derives a design that is out of reach without a reach production. Therefore, when the effect pattern A is selected based on the fact that the variation pattern P2 is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to only one type of detailed effect pattern. FIG. 17 shows an effect pattern distribution table that identifies detailed effect patterns distributed to effect pattern B (first mode transition effect). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 17, only the detailed effect pattern MP2 classified as “offset R2” can be selected for the variation pattern P1. Note that the “outage R2” specifies the contents of the effect for normal variation that derives the out of pattern without going through the reach effect. Therefore, when the production pattern B is selected based on the selection of the fluctuation pattern P1, the fluctuation pattern corresponds to only one type of detailed production pattern.

  FIG. 18 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns assigned to the effect pattern C (sprint mission for low probability). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 18, when the variation pattern P1 is selected, only the detailed effect pattern MP3 classified as “offset R2” can be selected. On the other hand, for the variation patterns P3, P5, and P8, only the detailed effect pattern MP4 classified as “outlier R3” classified as “outlier reach” can be selected. Note that. “Outgoing R3” specifies the contents of the effect for deriving the out-of-service symbol through the reach effect regardless of the type of reach effect. Further, only the detailed effect pattern MP5 classified as “winning” can be selected for the variation patterns P4 and P6. Note that “winning” specifies the content of the effect for deriving the jackpot symbol through the reach effect. Therefore, when the production pattern C is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to the three types of detailed production patterns based on the type of the selected variation pattern.

  FIG. 19 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns distributed to effect pattern D (low probability strong bow mission). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 19, only the detailed effect pattern MP6 classified as “offset R4” can be selected for the variation patterns P1, P3, P7, and P8. Note that “outgoing R4” specifies the content of the effect from which the outlier symbol is derived regardless of whether or not the reach effect is passed during execution of the archery mission. Further, only the detailed effect pattern MP8 classified as “winning” can be selected for the variation pattern P4. Further, for the variation pattern P6, a detailed effect pattern MP8 and a detailed effect pattern MP9 classified as “winning” can be selected. Therefore, the detailed performance pattern MP8 is a detailed performance pattern that can be selected when the variation pattern for the big hit effect that derives the big hit symbol through the reach effect is selected regardless of the type of the reach effect at the time of executing the strong bow mission. It has become. On the other hand, the detailed performance pattern MP9 is a detailed performance pattern that can be selected when a variation pattern for the big hit effect that derives the big hit symbol through the super reach effect is selected during the execution of the strong bow mission. On the other hand, for the variation pattern P5, either the detailed effect pattern MP6 or the detailed effect pattern MP7 classified as “out of R5” can be selected. Note that “outgoing R5” specifies the content of the effect that derives the outlier symbol through the super reach effect at the time of executing the archery mission. Therefore, when the effect pattern D is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to four types of detailed effect patterns based on the type of the selected variation pattern.

  FIG. 20 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns assigned to the effect pattern E (low probability jumping mission). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 20, only the detailed effect pattern MP10 classified as “offset R2” can be selected for the variation pattern P1. In addition, only the detailed effect pattern MP11 classified as “offset R3” can be selected for the variation patterns P3, P5, and P8. Further, the detailed effect pattern MP12 classified as “winning” can be selected for the variation patterns P4 and P6. Therefore, when the production pattern E is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to three types of detailed production patterns based on the type of the selected variation pattern.

  FIG. 21 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns allocated to the effect pattern F (final mission). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 21, only the detailed effect pattern MP13 classified as “offset R2” can be selected for the variation pattern P1. Therefore, when the production pattern F is selected based on the selection of the fluctuation pattern P1, the fluctuation pattern corresponds to only one type of detailed production pattern. FIG. 22 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying the detailed effect patterns distributed to the effect pattern G (probability change mode entry). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 22, only the detailed effect pattern MP14 that specifies “2R (electric support)” can be selected for the variation pattern P7. In addition, “2R (electric support)” indicates a case where a winning game is won in the probability variation 2 round big hit game in the state of “high probability + no variation”. Therefore, when the production pattern G is selected based on the selection of the variation pattern P7, the variation pattern corresponds to only one type of detailed production pattern.

  FIG. 23 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns distributed to the effect pattern H (sprint mission for high probability). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 23, only the detailed effect pattern MP15 classified as “offset R6” can be selected for the variation patterns P1 and P7. Note that the “outage R6” specifies the effect content for normal variation that derives the symbol (including the chance symbol) without reaching the reach effect. On the other hand, for the variation patterns P3, P5, and P8, only the detailed effect pattern MP16 classified as “outgoing R3” can be selected. Further, only the detailed effect pattern MP5 can be selected for the variation patterns P4 and P6. Therefore, when the effect pattern H is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to three types of detailed effect patterns based on the type of the selected variation pattern.

  FIG. 24 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns distributed to effect pattern I (high probability strong bow mission). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 24, only the detailed effect pattern MP17 classified as “outgoing R4” can be selected for the variation patterns P1, P3, P7, and P8. Further, only the detailed effect pattern MP8 can be selected for the variation pattern P4. On the other hand, for the variation pattern P5, either the detailed effect pattern MP17 or the detailed effect pattern MP18 classified as “out of R5” can be selected. Further, detailed effect patterns MP8 and MP9 can be selected for the variation pattern P6. Therefore, when the production pattern I is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to the four types of detailed production patterns based on the type of the selected variation pattern.

  FIG. 25 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns distributed to the effect pattern J (high probability jumping mission). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 25, only the detailed effect pattern MP19 classified as “displacement R6” can be selected for the variation patterns P1 and P7. In addition, only the detailed effect pattern MP20 classified as “outgoing R3” can be selected for the variation patterns P3, P5, and P8. Further, only the detailed effect pattern MP12 classified as “winning” can be selected for the variation patterns P4 and P6. Therefore, when the production pattern J is selected, the variation pattern corresponds to the three types of detailed production patterns based on the type of the selected variation pattern.

  FIG. 26 shows an effect pattern distribution table for specifying detailed effect patterns distributed to the effect pattern K (second mode transition effect). In the distribution table shown in FIG. 26, only the detailed effect pattern MP21 classified as “small hit / 2R (latency)” can be selected for the variation pattern P7. Note that “2R (latency)” indicates a case where a winning game with a probability of 2 rounds is won in a state of “low probability + no change”. On the other hand, “small hit” indicates a case where a small hit game is won in a state of “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”. Therefore, when the effect pattern K is selected based on the selection of the variation pattern P7, the variation pattern corresponds to only one type of detailed effect pattern.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the effect pattern distribution tables shown in FIGS. 16 to 26 based on the determined effect patterns (effect patterns A to K). Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the detailed effect pattern by lottery according to the variation pattern designated by the inputted variation pattern designation command.

  Next, the overall CPU 31a determines the contents of effects to be executed in the symbol variation game based on the determined detailed effect patterns (detail effect patterns MP1 to MP26) (FIGS. 27 to 32). In the present embodiment, “pre-reach notice” in the description of FIGS. 27 to 32 indicates the type of notice effect that is executed from the start of change to reach formation including reach formation. On the other hand, “post-reach notice” indicates the type of notice effect that is executed after the reach is formed.

  FIG. 27 shows a low-probability distribution table that is referred to when determining the production contents classified into “pre-reach notice X0” and “pre-reach notice X1”. The “pre-reach notice X0” is classified into “telop notice” and “getting off notice”. Further, in FIG. 27, “None” is shown when “Telop notice” and “Get off notice” classified as “Pre-reach notice X0” are not selected. In FIG. 27, for the detailed effect patterns MP1 to MP21, any one of the effect content specifying patterns for specifying “none”, “telop notice”, or “getting off notice” can be selected. A predetermined number of random number values (a total of 101 integers from 0 to 100) are assigned. For example, in FIG. 27, “none” or “telop notice” is selected for the detailed performance patterns MP1, MP2, and MP14. Further, for the detailed effect patterns MP3 to MP13 and MP15 to MP20, all the effect contents classified as “pre-reach notice X0” are selected.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the effect content specifying patterns for specifying the effect contents classified as “pre-reach notice X0”, and then moves to the item indicated by “pre-reach notice X1”. One of the production contents classified as “pre-reach notice X1” is determined.

  “Pre-reach notice X1” includes “sense effect (common) + aura notice”, “sense effect (running) + aura notice”, “sense effect (strong bow) + aura notice”, and “sense effect (leaping)” + Aura notice, “mode transition effect (normal)” and “mode transition effect (probability change)”. In FIG. 27, the case where none of the aforementioned effects classified as “pre-reach notice X1” is selected is indicated as “none”. Note that, in the pre-reach notice X1, the type of the notice effect that is performed before the mission effect is executed is determined. For example, “sensation effect (common)” specifies the effect content that can be used in common for any effect content of the sprinting mission, the archery mission, and the jumping mission. In addition, for each of “sense effect (sprint)”, “sense effect (strong bow)”, and “sense effect (jumping)”, the effect content that predicts the appearance of each mission effect is specified. In the table shown in FIG. 27, the sense effect and the aura notice are a set. In FIG. 27, random number values (all 101 from 0 to 100) are selected so that any one of these seven effect content specifying patterns can be selected for the detailed effect patterns MP1 to MP21. A predetermined number of street integers) are distributed. For example, in FIG. 27, “none” or “sense (common) + aura notice” is selected for the detailed performance pattern MP1. In addition, for the detailed performance patterns MP3 and MP4 classified as performance pattern C (low-probability sprint mission), “sense (common) + aura notice” or “sense (sprint) + aura notice” is selected. Is set to The detailed effect pattern MP2 classified as the effect pattern B (first mode transition effect) and the detailed effect pattern MP21 classified as the effect pattern K (second mode transition effect) include “mode transition effect (normal)”. "" Is set to be selectable. On the other hand, only the “mode transition effect (probability change)” can be selected in the detailed effect pattern MP14 classified as the effect pattern G (probability change mode entry). In addition, for the detailed effect patterns (detail effect patterns MP5, MP8, and MP12) classified as “winning”, four types of “notification effects” can be selected as the contents of the pre-reach notice X1. Therefore, when the perception effect is executed when the detailed effect pattern classified as “winning” is selected, it is possible to notify the player that the winning effect is won.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the production content specifying patterns that specify the production content classified as “pre-reach notice X1”, and then shifts to the low-probability distribution table shown in FIG. Then, one of the production contents classified as “pre-reach notice X2” is determined from the table. When “mode transition effect (normal)” or “mode transition effect (probability change)” is selected as the effect content classified as “pre-reach notice X1”, the overall CPU 31a selects the table shown in FIG. First, the process related to the determination of the production content is terminated.

  FIG. 28 shows a low-probability distribution table that is referred to when determining the contents of effects classified as “pre-reach notice X2”. In addition, “pre-reach notice X2” includes “no mission (MT)”, “sprinting mission success”, “sprinting mission failure”, “strong bow mission D1”, “strong bow mission D2”, and “leaping mission” It is classified as “success”, “jumping mission failure”, and “final mission”. In FIG. 28, an effect content specifying pattern (task assignment pattern) for specifying these contents is set. In the pre-reach notice X2, it is determined whether or not each mission effect is executed, the type of each mission effect, or whether each mission effect (excluding the final mission) is successful. For example, “successful sprinting mission” is set as “successful” as the content of the sprinting mission. However, as described above, in order to achieve the mission effect, the effect operation button BT must be operated, so “success” in FIG. 28 merely indicates the type of effect content. Whether or not points are actually awarded is determined by another control. In FIG. 28, random number values (all 101 from 0 to 100) are selected so that any one of the eight effect content specifying patterns for specifying the effect details can be selected for the detailed effect patterns MP1 to MP21. A predetermined number of street integers) are distributed.

  In FIG. 28, it is set so that only “no mission” can be selected for the detailed performance pattern MP1. In addition, for detailed production patterns MP3 and MP5 classified as production pattern C (low-probability sprinting mission), either “sprinting mission success” or “sprinting mission failure” can be selected. ing. On the other hand, for the detailed effect pattern MP4 classified as effect pattern C, only “sprinting mission success” is set to be selectable. Also, for the detailed effect patterns MP7 and MP8 classified as effect pattern D (low-probability strong bow mission), either “strong bow mission D1” or “strong bow mission D2” is set to be selectable. ing. On the other hand, for the detailed effect patterns MP6 and MP9 classified as effect pattern D, only “strong bow mission D1” is set to be selectable. In addition, for the detailed performance patterns MP5 and MP12 classified as “winning”, the ratio of “XX mission success (XX indicates sprinting or jumping)” is set to be high. Yes. However, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, whether or not the mission effect is “successful” does not correspond to the result of the symbol variation game, so even if “success” is associated as the content of the mission effect. In some cases, the symbol variation game is lost. In addition, only the “final mission” is selected for the detailed production pattern MP13 classified as the production pattern F (final mission).

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the effect content specifying patterns that specify the effect content classified as “pre-reach notice X2”, and then shifts to the low-probability distribution table shown in FIG. From the table, one of the production contents classified as “post-reach notice G1” is determined.

  FIG. 29 shows a low-probability distribution table that is referred to when determining the production contents classified into “post-reach notice G1” and “post-reach notice G2”. The “post-reach notice G1” is classified into “reach logo normal” and “reach logo opportunity”. In FIG. 29, the case where the effect classified as “pre-reach notice G1” is not selected is indicated as “none”. And in FIG. 29, random number values (all 101 from 0 to 100) are selected so that any one of the three effect content specifying patterns for specifying the effect details can be selected for the detailed effect patterns MP1 to MP21. A predetermined number of street integers) are distributed. For example, in FIG. 29, for the detailed performance patterns MP4, MP9, MP11, MP14, MP16, and MP20, only “reach logo normal” is set to be selectable. Further, for the detailed performance patterns MP5, MP7, MP8, MP12, and MP18, either “reach logo normal” or “reach logo opportunity” is set to be selectable.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the production content specifying patterns that specify the production content classified as “post-reach notice G1”, and then moves to the item shown in “post-reach notice G2”. One of the production contents classified as “post-reach notice G2” is determined. Note that, when “none” is selected as the effect contents classified as “post-reach notice G1”, the general CPU 31a does not select the effect contents classified as “post-reach notice G2”, and determines the effect contents. This process is terminated. Further, in the present embodiment, the expectation level for jackpot is set higher in the order of no reach for the reach logo <“normal” <“opportunity”.

  The “post-reach notice G2” is classified into “cut-in C1” and “cut-in C2”. In FIG. 29, the case where the effect classified as “pre-reach notice G2” is not selected is indicated as “none”. For example, in FIG. 29, “cut-in C1” is set to be selectable for the detailed performance patterns MP1 to MP4, MP10, MP14, MP15, and MP20. Further, “cut-in C1” and “cut-in C2” are set to be selectable for the detailed performance patterns MP5, MP11, MP16, MP19, and MP21.

  Then, after selecting any one of the contents of the effects classified as “pre-reach notice G2”, the overall CPU 31a ends the process related to the determination of the effects to be executed in the symbol variation game. Note that the images of the character KY used in the cut-in notice in this embodiment are “character KY1” and “character KY2”, which are specified by “cut-in C1” and “cut-in C2”, respectively. In this embodiment, the big hit expectation is set in the order of no cut-in notice <“character KY1” <“character KY2”.

  30 to 32 are high probability distribution tables, and FIG. 30 shows a high probability to be referred to when determining the contents of presentation classified into “pre-reach notice X0” and “pre-reach notice X1”. The distribution table for is shown. FIG. 31 shows a high-probability distribution table that is referred to when determining the production contents classified as “pre-reach notice X2”. FIG. 32 shows a high-probability distribution table that is referred to when determining the production contents classified into “post-reach notice G1” and “post-reach notice G2”. 30 to 32 have the same effect contents as the distribution table shown in FIGS. 27 to 29 described above. Then, the overall CPU 31a executes control related to the determination of the effect content to be executed in the symbol variation game by the same procedure as the content described in the tables shown in FIGS.

  Then, after determining the effect content to be executed in the symbol variation game based on the distribution table shown in FIG. 27 to FIG. 32, the overall CPU 31a sequentially details the effect content classified as “pre-reach notice X0”. Determine the contents of the production.

  FIG. 33 is an effect content distribution table that is referred to when the detailed content of the effect content classified as “pre-reach notice X0” is determined. In FIG. 33, the detailed performance patterns are classified into a plurality of types (four types in the present embodiment), and the detailed contents of the telop notice and the drop-off notice are determined based on the classified detailed performance patterns. In FIG. 33, the detailed performance patterns MP1 to MP3, MP6, MP10, MP13, MP15, MP17, MP19, and MP21 are classified into the item “out of”. Further, the detailed performance patterns MP4, MP9, MP11, MP14, MP16, and MP20 are classified into the item “reach B1”. Further, the detailed performance patterns MP7 and MP18 are classified into the item “reach B2”. Further, the detailed performance patterns MP5, MP8, and MP12 are classified into the item “winning”.

  In the table shown in FIG. 33, random values (a total of 101 kinds of integers from 1 to 100) are predetermined so that any one of the telop notice patterns T1 to T5 that specify the contents of the telop notice can be selected. They are sorted by number. In addition, in the table shown in FIG. 33, random number values (all 101 kinds of integers from 1 to 100) are predetermined so that either “first half” or “second half” can be selected as the contents of the announcement of the falling-off notice. They are sorted by number. In addition, in the falling notice of the present embodiment, two types of “first half” and “second half” are prepared as execution timings of the falling notice. Incidentally, in the “first half” in the present embodiment, it is associated with the execution of the falling-off notice in the first half of the time when the symbol variation game is divided into approximately two equal parts. On the other hand, in the “second half” in the present embodiment, execution of a falling notice is associated with a variation time in the second half of the symbol variation game divided into approximately two equal parts. In this embodiment, the big hit expectation degree is set higher in the order of “no prior notice” <“first half” <“second half”.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the telop notice patterns T1 to T5 from the table shown in FIG. 33 based on the selected detailed performance pattern. Similarly, the overall CPU 31a selects “first half” or “second half” from the table shown in FIG. 33 as the execution timing of the falling-off notice based on the selected detailed performance pattern.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a specifies the content of the effect from the table shown in FIG. 34 based on the selected telop notice pattern. For example, in the telop notice pattern T1, there are three types of “missions:“ running ”,“ bow ”and“ jumping ”! ? Is specified. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect command for specifying the selected notice pattern to each of the control boards 32 to 34 at the start of the symbol variation game.

Next, control related to mode transition will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 35 is a mode transition lottery table which the general CPU 31a refers to when executing the mode transition effect. The table shown in FIG. 35 is stored in the ROM 31b. In the table shown in FIG. 35, a plurality of types (four types in this embodiment) of transition patterns for specifying the mode of the migration destination are set. The transition pattern I1 is a transition pattern for instructing transition (stay) to the first probability variation latent suggestion mode. The transition pattern I2 is a transition pattern for instructing transition (stay) to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode. The transition pattern I3 is a transition for instructing the transition (stay) to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode when winning the probability variation two round jackpot game while staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode at the time of “low probability + no variation”. It is a pattern. The transition pattern I3 is also a transition pattern for instructing a transition (stay) to the second certain variation latent suggestion mode when a small hit game is won while staying in the probability variation latent suggestion mode to which no shortage state is given. The transition pattern I4 is a transition pattern for instructing transition to the probability variation mode. In the table shown in FIG. 35, random numbers (101 previous integers from 0 to 100) are distributed by a predetermined number so that any one of these transition patterns can be selected.

  In the table shown in FIG. 35, with respect to the detailed effect pattern MP2 classified as effect pattern B (first mode transition effect), that is, with respect to the variation pattern P1 (FIG. 17), the transition pattern in the internal low probability state. The selection probability of the transition pattern I1 is set to be higher than that of I2. On the other hand, in the internal high-accuracy state, the selection probability of the transition pattern I2 is set to be higher than that of the transition pattern I1. Therefore, when the first mode transition lottery is executed based on the selection of the detailed performance pattern MP2 during the stay in the first probability variation latent suggestion mode, the lottery probability state when the first mode transition lottery is executed is high. When in the probability lottery state, the rate at which the transition from the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode is determined is high.

  Further, for the detailed effect pattern MP14 classified as the effect pattern G (probability change mode entry), that is, when “high accuracy + no change” is given, it is determined that the probability change 2 round jackpot game is given, and the change pattern P7 is When selected, the transition pattern I4 is set to be selected. Therefore, when the winning game is won with the probability variation 2 round big hit game in the state of “high probability + no variation”, the mode always shifts to the probability variation mode. In addition, for the detailed effect pattern MP21 classified as the effect pattern K (second mode transition effect), that is, when “low probability + no change”, it is determined that a probabilistic two-round big hit game is given and a variation pattern When P7 is selected, the transition pattern I3 is set to be selected. In addition, it is set so that a small hit game is determined to be given while staying in the probability variation latent suggestion mode, and the transition pattern I3 is selected even when the variation pattern P7 is selected.

Next, the overall CPU 31a determines a mode transition destination based on the determined transition pattern.
FIG. 36 is a table showing the relationship between the mode before transition and the mode after transition. In FIG. 36, the vertical item indicates the mode before the transition, and the horizontal item indicates the mode after the transition. For example, when the player is elected to the probability variation 2 round big hit game or the small hit game while staying in the normal mode of “low probability + no change”, the mode shifts to the first probability variation latent suggestion mode (transition based on the transition pattern I1). In addition, a re-transition lottery is executed when the variation pattern P1 is selected while staying in the normal mode that has been transferred via the probability variation latent suggestion mode. If the lottery is won, the second latent suggestion mode is entered. (Winning the re-draw lottery). Also, when staying in the normal mode, if you win a 15-round jackpot game with a probability change, or if you win a 2-round jackpot game with a high probability + no change, you will enter the odd-change mode (big hit).

  Whether or not to shift from the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode by selecting the effect pattern B based on the fact that the variation pattern P1 is selected while staying in the first probability variation latency suggestion mode. When the first mode transition lottery is executed and the first mode transition lottery is lost, the first probability variation latent suggestion mode is continued (continuation based on the transition pattern I1). On the other hand, when the first mode transition lottery is won, the mode shifts to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode (transition based on the transition pattern I2). In addition, when the effect pattern K is selected based on the fact that the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won and the variation pattern P7 is selected while staying in the first probability variation latent suggestion mode at the time of “low probability + no variation”, A lottery is executed as to whether or not to shift from the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode. When the lottery is won, the mode shifts to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode (transition based on the transition pattern I3), while the lottery whether to shift to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode is not won. The first probability variation latent suggestion mode is continued. On the other hand, when the stage pattern K7 is selected based on the fact that the small hit game is won and the variation pattern P7 is selected while staying in the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to which the variation state is not given, the second probability variation latency is selected. The lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the suggestion mode is not executed, and the first probability variation latent suggestion mode is continued. In addition, when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won while staying in the first probability variation latent suggestion mode at the time of “high probability + no variation”, the mode shifts to the probability variation mode (transition based on the transition pattern I4). Further, when the final mission executed at the end of the first probability variation latent suggestion mode “fails”, the mode shifts from the first probability variation latent suggestion mode to the normal mode (final mission failure). On the other hand, when the final mission executed at the end of the first probability variation latency suggestion mode is “successful”, the mode shifts from the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode (successful final mission).

  Further, when the variation pattern P1 is selected while the second certain variation latent suggestion mode is staying, the second certain variation latent suggestion mode is continued (continuation based on the transition pattern I1 or the transition pattern I2). In addition, when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won while staying in the second probability variation latency suggestion mode at the time of “low probability + no variation”, the second probability variation latency suggestion mode is continued (continuation based on the transition pattern I3). Also, when the small hit game is won while staying in the second certain variation latent suggestion mode to which the variable state is not given, the second certain variation latent suggestion mode is continued (continuation based on the transition pattern I3). In addition, when the player wins the probability variation 2 round jackpot game while staying in the second probability variation latent suggestion mode at the time of “high accuracy + no variation”, the mode shifts to the probability variation mode (transition based on the transition pattern I4). Further, when the final mission executed at the end of the second probability variation latency suggestion mode is “failed”, the mode shifts from the second probability variation latency suggestion mode to the normal mode (final mission failure). On the other hand, when the final mission executed at the end of the second probability variation latency suggestion mode is “successful”, the mode shifts from the second probability variation latency suggestion mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode (successful final mission).

  Further, when the variation pattern P1 is selected while staying in the probability variation latency confirmation mode, the probability variation latency confirmation mode is continued (continuation based on the transition pattern I1 or the transition pattern I2). In addition, when the small hit game is won while staying in the probability variation latency confirmation mode, the probability variation latency confirmation mode is continued (continuation based on the transition pattern I3). Further, when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won while staying in the probability variation latency confirmation mode, the mode is shifted to the probability variation mode (transition based on the transition pattern I4). In addition, while staying in the probability variation mode, if the probability variation 15 round jackpot game or the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is won, the probability variation mode is continued (bonus).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, there is a case where the mode shifts from the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode. As a result, 20 symbol variation games are executed after the first probability variation latency suggestion mode is started, and when the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 20th symbol variation game, the second probability variation latency suggestion mode is not passed. Final mission is executed. On the other hand, when shifting from the first probability variation latent suggestion mode to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode, the number of symbol variation games executed within the period combining the first probability variation latent suggestion mode and the second probability variation latent suggestion mode is counted. The Then, when the number of times is 20 and the variation pattern P1 is selected, the final mission is executed after the end of the second probability variation latent suggestion mode.

Next, description will be given of the determination of the contents of the effect classified as “pre-reach notice X1”.
FIG. 37 is an effect content distribution table that is referred to when determining the detailed content of the notification effect classified as “pre-reach notice X1”. In FIG. 37, as in FIG. 33, the detailed performance patterns are classified into four. In the table of FIG. 37, a predetermined number of random numbers are assigned so that any one of the notice notice patterns S1 to S13 as the effect contents specifying pattern for specifying the effect contents of the notice effect can be selected. More specifically, the notice notice pattern is roughly divided into four types according to the type of notice effect classified as the pre-reach notice X1 determined in FIG. 27 or 30 based on the lottery probability state at the time of the winning lottery. Specifically, in FIG. 27 or FIG. 30, when “notification effect (common)” is selected, any one of the notification notice patterns S1 to S4 classified as “notification effect (common)” is selected. A predetermined number of random values (a total of 101 kinds of integers from 0 to 100) are assigned as possible. Further, when “sensation effect (sprinting)” is selected, a random value (0 to 100) is selected so that any one of the notification notice patterns S5 to S7 classified as “sensation effect (sprinting)” can be selected. A total of 101 integers) are distributed by a predetermined number. In addition, when “sensation effect (strong bow)” is selected, a random value (0 to 100) is selected so that any one of the notification notice patterns S8 to S10 classified as “sensation effect (strong bow)” can be selected. A total of 101 integers) are distributed by a predetermined number. In addition, when “sensation effect (jumping)” is selected, a random value (0 to 100) is selected so that any one of the notice notice patterns S11 to S13 classified as “sensation effect (jumping)” can be selected. A total of 101 integers) are distributed by a predetermined number.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a selects any one of the notice notice patterns S1 to S13 from the table shown in FIG. 37 based on the selected detailed effect pattern. Then, the overall CPU 31a specifies the content of the effect from the table shown in FIG. 38 based on the selected notice pattern. For example, in the notice notice pattern S1, the content “!!!!” is specified. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect command for specifying the selected notice pattern to each of the control boards 32 to 34 at the start of the symbol variation game.

  Also, in the table shown in FIG. 39, any one of the notice patterns as the effect contents specifying pattern for specifying “none”, “blue”, or “yellow” is selected as the effect contents of “Aura notice”. A predetermined number of random values (a total of 101 kinds of integers from 0 to 100) are assigned as possible. More specifically, when the “aura effect” classified in the pre-reach notice X1 determined in FIG. 27 or FIG. 30 is selected based on the lottery probability state at the time of performing the winning lottery, the aura effect is based on the table. The contents of are determined. For example, in the table shown in FIG. 39, when a detailed production pattern classified as “out” is selected, and “aura production” is selected as the content of the pre-reach notice X1, “yellow” <“blue” <The selection probability is set to increase in the order of “none”. On the other hand, when a detailed production pattern classified as “winning” is selected and “aura production” is selected as the content of the pre-reach notice X1, “none” <“blue” <“yellow” The selection probability is set to be high. Further, when a detailed performance pattern classified as “winning” is selected in the internal high-accuracy state, “yellow” is set so that the selection probability is the highest. Therefore, when “yellow” is selected as the “aura effect”, it is possible to have an expectation for the internal high-accuracy state.

  Next, a case where “strong bow mission” is selected as the pre-reach notice X2 will be described. FIG. 40 is a table that is referred to when determining the number of arrows to hit when “strong bow mission” is selected as the pre-reach notice X2. The “strong bow mission” is composed of “strong bow mission D1” and “strong bow mission D2”.

  In FIG. 40, random numbers (all 101 kinds of integers from 0 to 100) are selected so that any one of “0”, “1”, “2”, and “3” can be selected. Are distributed by a predetermined number. For example, when a detailed performance pattern classified as “out of” is selected in the low internal state, “1” or “2” can be selected. On the other hand, when a detailed performance pattern classified as “out” is selected in the internal high-accuracy state, “0” to “2” can be selected. In addition, when the detailed performance pattern classified as “out” is selected, the selection probability of “2” is set to be higher in the internal high-accuracy state than in the internal low-accuracy state. . When a detailed performance pattern classified as “winning” is selected, any one of “0” to “3” can be selected. On the other hand, when a detailed performance pattern classified as “out” is selected in the internal high-accuracy state, “0” to “2” can be selected. Therefore, even when the detailed performance pattern classified as “winning” is selected in the internal low-accuracy state, “0” can be selected as the number of arrows to be hit successfully. If "" is selected, there is no possibility that the symbol variation game will be lost, but it can be expected that the probability variation state is given. It should be noted that “3” is always selected when a strong bow mission is selected during the probability variation latency confirmation mode.

  The overall CPU 31a that has determined the number of arrows using FIG. 40 determines the next target content. FIG. 41A is a table used when determining the target content when the strong bow mission D1 is selected. In the table shown in FIG. 41A, target contents of a plurality of types (three types in the present embodiment) are associated with classes K1 to K3, and the class and lottery probability at the time when the archery mission is executed. A predetermined number of random numbers (251 total integers from 0 to 250) are distributed so that any one target type can be selected according to the state. For example, when comparing classes, the selection probability of the target E3 is set higher in the order of class K1 <class K2 <class K3. In addition, the selection probability of the target E3 is set to be higher in the internal high accuracy state than in the internal low accuracy state. Therefore, the target E3 is more easily selected as the target type when the internal high-accuracy state and the class are higher.

  FIG. 41B is a table used when determining the target contents when the strong bow mission D2 is selected. In the table shown in FIG. 41 (b), multiple types (four types in the present embodiment) of target contents are set. In the table shown in FIG. 41 (b), unlike the table shown in FIG. 41 (a), the target type is not determined according to the class and the lottery probability state, and any of the targets E4 to E7. One target type is decided by lottery.

  Then, the general CPU 31a that has determined the target type using the table of FIG. 41 (a) or FIG. 41 (b) next gives points to be given to the player when the archery mission effect is achieved, The determination is made using the tables shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 41 (c) shows a point distribution table to be referred to when “1” is determined as the number of arrows hit. FIG. 41D shows a point distribution table to be referred to when “2” is determined as the number of arrows to be hit. Further, FIG. 41 (e) shows a point distribution table that is referred to when “3” is determined as the number of arrows to be hit. In the tables shown in FIGS. 41C to 41E, the contents of a plurality of types of points are associated with the classes K1 to K3, and according to the class and the lottery probability state when the archery mission is executed. A predetermined number of random numbers (a total of 251 kinds of integers from 0 to 250) are distributed so that any one point can be selected. When these tables are comprehensively determined, the points that can be acquired when the strong bow mission is successful are set to be higher in the internal high accuracy state than in the internal low accuracy state. In addition, it is set so that the ratio of the point of the second order when the strong bow mission is successful is higher in the internal high accuracy state than in the internal low accuracy state. In FIG. 41 (e), since the point “3333” is assigned only in the case of the internal high probability state, when the point is given, the player can visually recognize that it is in the internal high probability state. be able to. In addition, as the number of arrows that hit is increased, the points that can be obtained when the archery mission is successful are set higher. Furthermore, the points that can be obtained when the archery mission is successful are set higher in the order of class K1 <class K2 <class K3. Therefore, when the lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state and the current class is the class K3, there is a high possibility that the most advantageous result for the player will be obtained.

  Next, a case where “sprinting mission” is selected as the pre-reach notice X2 will be described. FIG. 42 is a table that is referred to when determining the content of a sprinting mission when “sprinting mission success” is selected as the pre-reach notice X2. If “sprinting mission failure” is selected, the table shown in FIG. 42 is not selected, and the sprinting mission effect is executed, but the content that always fails is determined.

  In FIG. 42, the sprinting missions are classified into “one-shot type” and “continuous hit type”. Note that “one-shot system” indicates that the number of times of whipping into a horse is one. Further, “repetitive hitting” indicates that the number of times of whipping into a horse is multiple times. Furthermore, in FIG. 42, after the number of whip-in is divided into “one-shot type” or “repetitive hitting type”, the running speed of the horse is further classified into “medium speed” or “high speed”. In FIG. 42, any one of “one-shot failure”, “medium-speed / one-shot success”, “medium-speed / one-stroke”, “high-speed / one-shot success”, and “high-speed / continuous-stroke” is selected. A predetermined number of random numbers (a total of 101 kinds of integers from 0 to 100) are assigned as possible.

The overall CPU 31a, which has determined the content of the sprinting mission using FIG. 42, next determines the number of enrollment using the tables shown in FIGS. 43 (a) to 43 (d).
FIG. 43A shows a frequency distribution table to be referred to when determining the number of times of whipping based on one button operation when “one success” is selected in the table shown in FIG. On the other hand, FIG. 43B shows a frequency distribution table that is referred to when determining the number of times of whipping based on one button operation when “one shot failure” is selected in the table shown in FIG. . FIG. 43 (d) shows a frequency distribution table that is referred to when determining the number of times of whipping based on one button operation for each button operation when “continuous hitting” is selected in the table shown in FIG. Indicates. In the tables shown in FIGS. 43 (a), 43 (b), and 43 (d), a plurality of types (three types in the present embodiment) of the number of whirlings are associated with the classes K1 to K3. Then, a random number (a total of 251 different integers from 0 to 250) is assigned to each predetermined number so that any one number can be selected according to the class and the lottery probability state when the sprinting mission is executed. It has been. In the table shown in FIG. 43 (a), for example, in the case of the internal high-accuracy state than in the internal low-accuracy state, the number of lashing is “1 time” <“2 times” <“3 times”. The selection probability is set to be high. In the table shown in FIG. 43B, “3 times” is set not to be selected during the internal low-accuracy state, and “3 times” <“2 times” even during the internal high-accuracy state. "<" Once "in order of selection probability. Further, in FIG. 43 (d), regardless of whether the lottery probability state is low probability or high probability, the number of times of whipping that is determined every time the production operation button BT is operated is It is the same distribution mode in the class. In FIG. 43 (d), when “repetitive hitting” is selected, the number of times of whipping is determined every time the button is operated, so that the number of whipping is “0 times” based on one button operation. Can also be selected.

  FIG. 43C shows a frequency distribution table that is referred to when determining the number of times to achieve the sprinting mission when “sequential hitting” is selected in the table shown in FIG. In the table shown in FIG. 43 (c), unlike in FIGS. 43 (a) and (b), the number of button operations required to achieve a sprinting mission is set to a plurality of times. In the table shown in FIG. 43 (c), a plurality of types (eight types in the present embodiment) of the required number of lashing are associated with the classes K1 to K3, and the class at the time when the sprinting mission is executed. A random number (a total of 251 kinds of integers from 0 to 250) is distributed by a predetermined number so that any one of the required number of inscriptions can be selected according to the lottery probability state. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when “repetitive hitting” is selected in the table shown in FIG. 42, after the number of required lashing is first determined based on the table shown in FIG. Based on the table shown in (d), the number of times of whipping based on one button operation is determined. Then, each time the button operation is performed, the total number of times of whipping determined based on the table shown in FIG. 43 (d) reaches the required number of whippings determined based on the table shown in FIG. 43 (c). Whether or not the mission has been accomplished is determined by whether or not In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when “continuous hitting” is selected, each time a button operation is executed, one button is pressed in the whirling number determination table shown in FIG. The number of times the whip was put by the operation is determined by lottery, so the number of button operations is not the number of whistling.

  Then, the general CPU 31a that has determined the number of times of whipping in the sprinting mission based on the tables shown in FIGS. 44 is determined using the tables shown in FIGS. 44 (a) to 44 (c).

  FIG. 44A shows a point distribution table in which points that can be acquired by one whip are distributed when “repetitive hitting” is selected. In the table shown in FIG. 44A, the contents of a plurality of types (six types in the present embodiment) of points are associated with the classes K1 to K3. And, when “Sequential Strike” is selected in the sprinting mission, any one point can be selected according to the current class and lottery probability status each time the production operation button BT is operated once. In this way, a predetermined number of random numbers (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250) are assigned. When the table is comprehensively determined, the points that can be acquired with one button are set higher in the internal high-accuracy state than in the internal low-accuracy state. Further, the points that can be acquired with one button are set higher in the order of class K1 <class K2 <class K3. Therefore, when the lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state and the current class is the class K3, there is a high possibility that the most advantageous result for the player will be obtained.

  FIG. 44B shows a point distribution table in which “medium speed” is selected in the table shown in FIG. 42 and points that can be acquired when the mission succeeds based on the operation of the effect operation button BT. Show. FIG. 44 (c) shows a point distribution table in which “high speed” is selected in the table shown in FIG. 42 and points that can be acquired when the mission succeeds based on the operation of the effect operation button BT. Indicates. In the tables shown in FIGS. 44B and 44C, as described above, a plurality of types of points are associated with the classes K1 to K3. When the table is comprehensively determined, the points that can be acquired when the sprinting mission is successful are set to be higher in the internal high accuracy state than in the internal low accuracy state. In addition, it is set so that the ratio of the point of the second order is higher when the high-speed sprinting mission is successful than when the high-accuracy state is internal. In FIG. 44 (c), the point “3333” and the point “1” are assigned only in the case of the internal high probability state. It can be visually recognized that it is in a state. In addition, in the order of class K1 <class K2 <class K3, the points that can be acquired when the sprinting mission is successful are set higher. In addition, the number of points obtained when the sprinting mission is successful is set to be higher at a high speed than at a medium speed. Further, when comparing “one-shot type” and “continuous hit type”, in the “continuous hit type” sprinting mission, every time the button operation is performed even before the required number of times of lashing is reached, FIG. Since the points are given based on the table shown in FIG. 5, the “continuous hit system” can acquire more points than the “one shot system”. Therefore, when the lottery probability state is the high probability state and the current class is the class K3, there is a high possibility of obtaining the most advantageous result for the player.

  For example, even if “sprinting mission success” is selected in the pre-reach notice X2 in the distribution table shown in FIG. 28 or FIG. 31, if “one shot / failure” is selected in the table shown in FIG. The sprint mission will fail and no points will be awarded for completing the mission. Even if “sprinting mission success” is selected, if the production operation button BT is not operated within the operation valid period, it is considered that the mission has failed, and points that can be acquired when the mission is successful are not given.

  Next, a case where “jumping mission” is selected as the pre-reach notice X2 will be described. FIG. 45 is a table that is referred to when determining the content of a jumping mission when “jumping mission success” is selected as the pre-reach notice X2. When “jumping mission failure” is selected, the table shown in FIG. 45 is not selected, and the jumping mission effect is executed, but the contents that always fail are determined.

  In FIG. 45, the jumping targets of the jumping mission are classified into “low fence” and “valley”. Furthermore, in FIG. 45, “success” and “failure” are associated with each jump target. In FIG. 45, random numbers (all 101 from 0 to 100 are selected so that any one of “low fence failure”, “low fence success”, “valley failure”, and “valley success” can be selected. A predetermined number of street integers) are distributed.

  The overall CPU 31a, which has determined the contents of the jumping mission using FIG. 45, next determines the number of points to be given to the player when the jumping mission is achieved using the table shown in FIG.

  In the table shown in FIG. 46, as described above, a plurality of types (seven types in the present embodiment) of points are associated with the classes K1 to K3. When the table is comprehensively determined, the points that can be acquired when the jump mission is successful are set higher in the internal high-accuracy state than in the internal low-accuracy state. In addition, it is set so that the ratio of the point of the second order when the jump mission is successful is higher in the internal high accuracy state than in the internal low probability state. In addition, since the point of “3333” is assigned only in the case of the internal high probability state, when the point is given, the player can visually recognize that it is in the internal high probability state. Furthermore, in the order of class K1 <class K2 <class K3, the points that can be acquired when a jumping mission is successful are set higher. Therefore, when the lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state and the current class is the class K3, there is a high possibility that the most advantageous result for the player will be obtained. In the present embodiment, the tables shown in FIGS. 41, 44, and 46 are the first distribution table. Further, in the present embodiment, the points of “Long eyes” and “1” are values of the specific mode.

  When the general CPU 31a executes each mission effect in one symbol variation game, after the symbol variation game is started and a predetermined time has elapsed after the mission effect is started, the general operation button BT Set the operation validity period. Next, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the production operation button BT has been operated within the operation effective period. If the production operation button BT has been operated, the mission is determined to be successful or unsuccessful depending on the type of mission production. Judge whether to do. The overall CPU 31a counts the elapsed time from the start of the operation effective period, and ends the operation effective period of the effect operation button BT when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Specifically, when executing the strong bow mission, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the effect operation button BT is operated once within the operation effective period. If the determination result is affirmative (the effect operation button BT is operated once within the operation effective period), the overall CPU 31a determines that the mission is successful. Then, the overall CPU 31a gives points according to the number of arrows hit.

  Further, when executing the sprinting mission, the overall CPU 31a determines whether the content of the selected sprinting mission is “one-shot type” or “continuous hit type”. When the content of the selected sprinting mission is “one-shot system”, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the production operation button BT is operated once within the operation effective period. If the determination result is affirmative (the effect operation button BT is operated once within the operation effective period), the overall CPU 31a determines that the mission is successful. The overall CPU 31a gives points according to the speed of the sprinting mission (medium speed or high speed).

  When the content of the selected sprinting mission is “continuous hitting”, the overall CPU 31a is based on the table shown in FIG. 43D every time the effect operation button BT is operated within the operation effective period. Determine the number of lashings based on one button operation. Then, based on the fact that the production operation button BT has been operated a plurality of times within the operation effective period, the total number of times of insertion determined in FIG. 43 (d) is the required number of times of insertion determined in FIG. It is determined whether or not it has been reached. If the determination result is affirmative (the total number of whippings based on each button operation has reached the number of whippings required), the overall CPU 31a determines that the mission is successful. The overall CPU 31a gives points according to the speed of the sprinting mission (medium speed or high speed).

  When the jumping mission is executed, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the effect operation button BT is operated once within the operation effective period, similarly to the strong bow mission. If the determination result is affirmative (the effect operation button BT is operated once within the operation effective period), the overall CPU 31a determines that the mission is successful.

  When the overall CPU 31a determines that each mission effect is “successful”, the overall CPU 31a outputs an instruction command indicating the determined point to each of the control boards 32 to 34 in order to give a predetermined point. In this case, the variable display H2 executes a display effect in which points are given (accumulated) within the variation time of the symbol variation game in which the mission effect is executed after the completion of each mission effect. . On the other hand, when determining that each mission effect is “failure”, the overall CPU 31a does not output an instruction command for instructing the determined point to each of the control boards 32-34. By executing such control, when the production operation button BT is operated for mission execution in one symbol variation game, points are given, while production operation is performed for mission execution. When the button BT is not operated, it is possible to create a situation where points are not given. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, one mission effect is not executed across a plurality of symbol variation games in the probability variation latency suggestion mode, but one mission in one symbol variation game. Production is to be executed. Since the mission effect can be executed every time a specific variation pattern (in this embodiment, variation patterns P1, P3 to P6, P8) is selected while staying in the probability variation latency suggestion mode, the probability variation latency suggestion mode is selected. Inside, multiple missions can be performed.

  When comparing the archery mission, the sprinting mission, and the jumping mission, even if the point distribution modes shown in the tables of FIGS. It is set to increase the points that can be earned in the mission production. For example, when the “strong bow mission” is executed, if the number of arrows hit is “3”, “3000” or “3333” can be selected, but the selection probability of “3” Is lower than the selection probability of “1” or “2”, so it is unlikely that “3000” or “3333” will be selected in the archery mission. On the other hand, when the “jumping mission” is executed, the point giving mode is not changed again according to the number of arrows as in the archery mission. Therefore, the possibility that “3000” or “3333” is selected is higher than when the arch mission is executed.

  Then, the general CPU 31a counts the number of symbol variation games executed during the stay in the probability variation latent suggestion mode. If the number is 19 or less, the overall CPU 31a selects the mode type based on the table shown in FIG. decide. Then, when a mode that specifies any one of “strong bow mission”, “sprinting mission”, and “jumping mission” is selected, execution of the selected mission effect is controlled. Further, the overall CPU 31a sets the operation effective period of the effect operation button BT during the execution of the mission effect, and if the effect operation button BT is operated within the operation effective period and performs the mission, The value of points that can be acquired according to the performance result is stored in the RAM 31c. Then, until the number of symbol variation games executed during stay in the probability variation latent suggestion mode reaches 19 times, the points are accumulated and stored every time the mission effect is executed and the mission is performed. In addition, every time the overall CPU 31a acquires points given based on the performance of the mission effect, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to upgrade the class based on the promotion distribution table shown in FIG.

  In the table shown in FIG. 48, a point value is set as a reference for promotion to each class. In the class K1, L1 (for example, 0 points) is set as an initial value, and L2 (for example, 3000 points) is set as an end value. The class K2 has L3 (for example, 3001 points) as an initial value and L4 (for example, 7000 points) as an end value. In class K3, L5 (for example, 7001 points) is set as an initial value, and L6 (for example, 55000 points) is set as an end value. The class K4 indicates the class when the mission effect is executed during the probability variation latent confirmation mode, and its value is set to ∞ (infinite) so that the point value does not increase or decrease. ing. Incidentally, at the start of the probability variation latent suggestion mode, the class is K1 and the initial value is L1.

  Then, each time the overall CPU 31a acquires points by performing the point acquisition mission effect during the probability variation latent suggestion mode, the overall CPU 31a refers to the promotion distribution table shown in FIG. Determine whether the point has been reached. For example, when the current class is the class K1, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the accumulated points have exceeded the final value L2. When the accumulated points exceed the final value L2 (for example, 3500 points), the overall CPU 31a promotes the class K1 to the class K2 in accordance with the start of the next symbol variation game. And while setting the information (flag etc.) which shows the present class to RAM31c, the production command which specifies the present class is output to each control board 32-34, respectively.

  Further, when the overall CPU 31a shifts from the first probability variation latency suggestion mode to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode, the cumulative addition point and the current class are carried over. On the other hand, when the overall CPU 31a fails in the final mission and shifts from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the normal mode and again shifts to the probability variation latency suggestion mode by the re-transition lottery, The acquired points and class are reset to initial values (0 points and class K1). In addition, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the final mission is successful by lottery, and when it is determined to be “successful”, the overall CPU 31a determines the transition from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode. In this case, the cumulative value of points is “∞ (infinity)” and the class is class K4.

  Then, when the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 20th and subsequent symbol variation games after the probability variation latent suggestion mode starts, the overall CPU 31a selects the variation pattern P1 based on the tables shown in FIGS. The final mission is decided to be executed in the symbol variation game. At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the final mission is “success” or “failure” based on the distribution mode of the table shown in FIG.

  In the table shown in FIG. 47, the contents specifying “success” of the final mission and the contents specifying “failure” of the final mission are associated with the classes K1 to K3. Further, in the table shown in FIG. 47, random numbers (all 101 from 0 to 100) are selected so that “success” or “failure” can be selected according to the class and the lottery probability state at the time when the final mission is executed. A predetermined number of street integers) are distributed. Specifically, even if the class at the time of executing the final mission is any of the classes K1 to K3, “failure” is set to be always selected in the internal low probability state. On the other hand, when the internal lottery state at the time of the final mission execution is the high probability lottery state, the probability that “success” is selected in the order of class K1 <class K2 <class K3 is set higher. Therefore, when the final mission is executed in the internal low probability state, the final mission is not successful in any class, and the mode is surely shifted from the probability variation latent suggestion mode to the normal mode. On the other hand, when the final mission is executed in the internal high-accuracy state, the higher the class, the higher the probability of succeeding in the final mission, and the success of the final mission shifts from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the probability variation latency confirmation mode. Become. And in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability variation latency confirmation mode is not a mode for definitely informing that the probability variation state is given, but when it is confirmed that the state is the internal high probability state. It is a mode that can be transferred.

  Incidentally, according to the table distribution mode shown in FIG. 47, the final mission may be “failed” in the internal high-accuracy state. In this case, the mode shifts from the probability variation latent suggestion mode to the normal mode, but since it is in the internal high accuracy state, there is an expectation that the probability variation state is given even when the normal mode stays. It can be done. In the present embodiment, the points and classes at the time when the final mission is executed are the total performance results of each task. In this embodiment, the table shown in FIG. 47 is the second distribution table.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a refers to the table shown in FIG. 47 when executing the final mission, and determines whether the final mission is “success” or “failure”. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a command for instructing the result of the final mission to each of the control boards 32-34. When the overall CPU 31a determines “success” of the final mission, the overall CPU 31a determines the transition to the probability variation latency determination mode and outputs an effect command instructing the transition to the mode to each of the control boards 32-34. On the other hand, when the overall CPU 31a determines “failure” of the final mission, the overall CPU 31a determines the transition to the normal mode and outputs an effect command for instructing the transition to the mode to each of the control boards 32-34. In the present embodiment, “failure” in the final mission is the end condition of the probability variation latent suggestion mode.

  In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a serves as a period setting unit. The overall CPU 31a also functions as a task control unit. The overall CPU 31a also functions as suggestion effect control means. The overall CPU 31a also functions as mode control means. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a serves as a task assignment pattern determination unit. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a also functions as an achievement determination unit.

Next, the control contents executed by the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) according to the effect control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs the variation pattern designation command, the variable display H2 is selected so that the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command is selected and the symbol variation game is executed with the effect content. Controls the display content of. At this time, the sub CPU 32a generates display data for displaying an image in accordance with the effect content using the image data in the ROM 32b based on the selected effect content.

  Then, the sub CPU 32a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the variable display H2 based on the measured time and display data for a predetermined control cycle. Switch every time (for example, every 2 ms). Then, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display contents of the variable display H2 so that the symbol instructed by the stop symbol designation command for decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2 in a definite stop display. To end the symbol variation game.

  Further, the sub CPU 32a performs an opening effect, each round effect, and an ending effect based on the effect instruction command output by the overall control board 31 when the probability change 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability change 15 round jackpot game are given. Let it run. Specifically, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that each effect is executed with a predetermined effect content when an effect instruction command related to each effect is input. At this time, the sub CPU 32a uses the image data in the ROM 32b to generate display data for displaying an image according to the contents of each effect. Then, the sub CPU 32a switches the image displayed on the variable display H2 based on the generated display data for every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 2 ms).

  Further, the sub CPU 32a causes the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect to be executed based on the effect instruction command output by the overall control board 31 when the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game are given. At this time, the sub CPU 32a causes the effect to be executed with the same effect content so that it is not known from the effect content which of the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game is given. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment cannot recognize which is given from the production contents during the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game in addition to the opening mode of the big winning opening 29. It is like that.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 32a inputs an effect command instructing transition to each effect mode, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol variation game is performed with the effect content specified by the command. When the sub CPU 32a inputs an effect command for instructing the transition to each effect mode, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 with the background image based on the background pattern specified in the command. The sub CPU 32a switches the current background image until the next time the effect command for instructing the transition to each effect mode is input or the effect command for instructing to switch the background image in the normal mode is input. The display content of the variable display H2 is continuously controlled without any change.

  Further, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the mission effect and the notice effect that can be executed during the mission effect are performed with the content instructed from the general CPU 31a during the execution of the mission effect. Further, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to increase the points each time a command for indicating the points acquired from the overall CPU 31a is input. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a command for instructing the promotion of the class from the overall CPU 31a, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the class specified by the command. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 32a serves as a hit notice execution means.

  Next, the flow of game effects executed during the probability variation latent suggestion mode will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, the flow of the game from the state in which the final mission is failed in the internal high probability state and then the mode is changed to the normal mode will be described. Therefore, it is assumed that the internal high accuracy state is assumed during the probability variation latency suggestion mode shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 49, when the first probability variation latent suggestion mode is started, the class of the character KY is set to the class K1, and the initial value L1 is set. Then, it is assumed that the first symbol variation game is started after the first certain variation latent suggestion mode is started, and “strong bow mission” is selected as the content of the mission effect executed in the symbol variation game. Furthermore, it is assumed that “1” is selected as the number of arrows to hit. Further, it is assumed that “1111” is selected as a point given when the mission is successful. Then, during execution of the “strong bow mission”, if one arrow hits on the basis of the operation of the effect operation button BT within the operation effective period, “1111” is given as a point.

  Thereafter, the second symbol variation game is started after the first probability variation latent suggestion mode is started, and “sprinting mission” is selected as the content of the mission effect executed in the symbol variation game. Further, it is assumed that “2222” is selected as a point given when the mission is successful. Note that when the symbol variation game is started, the accumulated value of the points is “1111”, and thus the class K1 remains. Then, during the execution of the “sprinting mission”, “2222” is given as a point when the sprinting mission is successful based on the operation of the effect operation button BT within the operation effective period. In this case, “2222” is added to “1111” acquired in the first symbol variation game, and the cumulative point becomes “3333”.

  Thereafter, the third symbol variation game is started after the first probability variation latent suggestion mode is started, and “jumping mission” is selected as the content of the mission effect executed in the symbol variation game. Further, it is assumed that “3000” is selected as a point given when the mission is successful. At the time when the symbol variation game is started, the cumulative value of the points is “3333”, and in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the initial value of the class K2 is “L3 (for example, 3001)”. The class is promoted from class K1 to class K2. Then, during execution of the “jumping mission”, “3000” is given as a point when the jumping mission is successful based on the operation of the effect operation button BT within the operation effective period. In this case, “3000” is added to “3333” acquired in the first and second symbol variation games, and the cumulative point becomes “6333”. Thereafter, when an effect pattern that specifies execution of a mission effect is selected based on the selection of a specific variation pattern (in this embodiment, variation patterns P1, P3 to P6, P8), the symbol variation game is displayed. A mission effect is executed during execution. Then, if the mission presented by operating the effect operation button BT during the mission effect is performed, points are further added according to the execution result.

  Then, it is assumed that points are added each time a mission effect is executed a plurality of times while staying in the probability variation latent suggestion mode, and promoted to the class K3. When the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 20th symbol variation game, the final mission is executed in the symbol variation game. Then, when the final mission is successful, the mode shifts to a probability change latency confirmation mode. In this case, the player can recognize that the current internal lottery state is a high-probability lottery state because the background image G4 is displayed on the variable display H2 by the transition to the probability variation latent suggestion mode. ing.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In a mission effect that can be executed a plurality of times within an effect execution period that is set over a plurality of predetermined symbol variation games after the end of the winning game, each operation based on the operation of the effect operation button BT The execution result of the mission was memorized. Then, the overall CPU 31a indicates that the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state according to the lottery probability state and the total performance result of each mission presented during the performance execution period (transition to the probability variation latency determination mode). The ratio of notification was made different. Thus, in order to know that the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state (whether or not to shift to the probability variation latency determination mode), the mission operation button BT is actively operated when the mission effect is executed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's willingness to participate in the game.

  (2) Further, when presenting the performance result of the mission effect, the general CPU 31a uses a table in which a ratio for obtaining a result advantageous to the player is set according to the lottery probability state. Furthermore, the overall CPU 31a executes the final mission based on a table in which the ratio of notifying that the lottery probability state is the high-probability lottery state is changed according to the lottery probability state and the total performance result of each mission. . By providing such a table, it is possible to set various notification modes regarding the result of the final mission and the result of each mission effect according to the lottery probability state.

  (3) The probability variation latency suggestion mode is extended until the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 20th and subsequent symbol variation games after the probability variation latency suggestion mode is started. Therefore, even if the 20th or later symbol variation game is executed after the probability variation latent suggestion mode is started, the result of each mission based on the operation of the production operation button BT is stored, and the result of the final mission is expected. Can be given. In addition, even if the symbol variation game is executed 20 times or more after the probability variation latency suggestion mode is started, the probability variation latency suggestion mode is continued until the final mission is executed, so the twenty symbol variation games are ended. The player's interest can be improved compared to the case where no production is performed at the time.

  (4) In the point achievement mission effect, the configuration is such that more points are given when the mission is achieved than when the mission is not achieved. Thereby, in order to make a player acquire a point, operation of operation button BT for production can be urged, and participation in a game can be urged more actively.

  (5) When a probabilistic two-round big hit game or a small hit game is awarded, it is possible to shift from the normal mode to the probable latent suggestion mode after the winning game ends. In addition, when a probability variation 2 round big hit game or a small hit game is awarded, the probability variation state may be given as a gaming state. For this reason, when it shifts to the probability variation latency suggestion mode, it is difficult to guess the gaming state, so that the probability variation latency suggestion mode can be expected.

  (6) In the case of “low probability + no change”, when either probability change 2 round big hit game or small hit game is awarded, it is possible to shift from the normal mode to the probability change latent suggestion mode. For this reason, when changing to the probability variation latency suggestion mode, the shortage state is not given, and it is difficult to guess the gaming state, so that the probability variation latency suggestion mode can be expected.

  (7) The probability variation latent suggestion mode is an effect that is executed when the variable state is not applied, and the variable pattern P1 is easily selected when the variable state is not applied. Thereby, it is possible to secure a sufficient time for executing the mission effect during the symbol variation game, and also to secure a time for securing the points.

  (8) Since the mission effect ends within the variation time of one symbol variation game and can be executed a plurality of times during the probability variation latent suggestion mode, it is a type of accomplishing one mission across a plurality of games. It is possible to give a game that is different from the conventional mission effect.

  (9) In the point-acquisition mission production, each mission is graded according to the cumulative performance of completed missions, and the grade is upgraded when a specific upgrade condition is met. And according to the lottery probability state and the final class, it set so that the ratio which alert | reports that a lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state by the last mission may differ. Thereby, in order to know that the lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state, the mission operation button BT must be actively operated when the mission effect is executed, so that the rank must be upgraded. Can increase the willingness to participate in the game.

  (10) When the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state, the jumping mission is executed at a high rate so that when the jumping mission is executed, the lottery probability state is set to the high-probability lottery state. Can be expected to be.

  (11) A plurality of types of effect contents are set as the point acquisition mission effect, and the points obtained when the mission effect is achieved according to the gaming state including the lottery probability state are set to be different. As a result, the point acquisition mission effect to be executed and the points obtained according to the current game state are different. The player's willingness to play can be stimulated.

  (12) A fluctuation pattern (in this embodiment, a fluctuation pattern) in which a fluctuation time that can end the point acquisition mission effect during one symbol fluctuation game is ended regardless of the lottery probability of the winning lottery. When the patterns P1, P3 to P6, P8) are selected, the point acquisition mission is executed. Thereby, it is difficult to understand the lottery probability state when the point acquisition mission effect is executed, and the player can be expected to be in the high probability lottery state.

  (13) Even if there are few points that can be earned when performing a point earning mission, it is highly likely that the player will be in a high-probability lottery state if he / she earns points such as a doublet or “1” Even if the number of points that can be acquired is small, it can be expected to be in a high-probability lottery state.

  (14) As shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, even if the achievement of the mission is determined in advance by the production content specifying pattern, the production operation button BT is not operated during the execution of the point acquisition mission production. If you do, the mission will not be achieved, and you will not be able to earn points that should have been earned when you completed the mission. Thereby, in order to make a player acquire a point, operation of operation button BT for production can be urged, and participation in a game can be urged more actively.

  (15) In the symbol variation game executed during the probability variation latency suggestion mode, expectation can be given to whether or not the jackpot lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state by setting the probability variation latency suggestion mode. Also, it can be expected whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit.

  (16) Even if the probability change latency suggestion mode ends due to “failure” in the final mission and then the normal mode is executed, if the re-transition lottery is won, the second probability change latency suggestion is again Change to mode. Thereby, the disappointment of the player due to the end of the mode can be dispelled.

  (17) The points are accumulated from the initial value every time the mode is changed to the probability variation latent suggestion mode, and the class starts from the lowest class K1, so the final mission confirms that the lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state. In order to do so, the player's willingness to challenge can be improved again.

  (18) The probability variation latent confirmation mode that can be shifted when the lottery probability state is internally confirmed to be the high probability lottery state enters via the probability variation latent suggestion mode. In addition, since the probability variation latency confirmation mode is set, it is determined that the internal high-accuracy state is established while the mode is being executed. Can be recognized, and can be driven into the game with peace of mind.

  (19) Based on the type of winning game to be given and the gaming state when the winning lottery is executed while maintaining the gameability that makes it difficult for the player to know whether the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state. Therefore, it is set so that it may shift to the probability change mode. In this way, the probability variation latency suggestion mode and the probability variation latency confirmation mode are prevented from continuing more than necessary, and by executing the probability variation mode, the player can further amplify the sense of superiority that the player has in the high probability lottery state. Can do.

  (20) The period during which the re-transfer lottery is executed is set to be different according to the lottery probability state. Specifically, in the case of an internal low probability state, 20 symbols change game is executed after the transition to the normal mode, while in the case of an internal high probability state, the next big hit is won. This makes it possible to expect that the lottery probability state is the high-probability lottery state while the symbol variation game is executed 20 times after the transition to the normal mode. In addition, when the re-transition lottery is executed after the symbol variation game is executed more than 20 times, it is determined that the lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state. This can be notified.

  (21) Even if the mode shifts from the probability variation latency suggestion mode to the normal mode, there is a possibility of re-transition to the probability variation latency suggestion mode by re-transfer lottery up to a preset upper limit number (three times in the present embodiment). , You can continue playing with peace of mind. In addition, when the re-transition lottery is executed exceeding the predetermined upper limit number of times and the mode is changed to the probability variation latent suggestion mode, it is determined that the lottery probability state is the high-probability lottery state, so that the player can be relieved. The game can be continued with heart.

  (22) By setting the first probability variation latent suggestion mode and the second probability variation latent suggestion mode, which have different expectations for being in the high probability lottery state, it becomes possible to execute a complicated mode transition effect, The interest can be further improved for the person.

  (23) The probability variation latency suggestion mode is continued when either probability variation 2 round big hit game or small hit game is given in the probability variation latency suggestion mode in the state of “low probability + variation”. On the other hand, when the probability variation 2 round big hit game is given in the probability variation latency suggestion mode in the “high probability + no variation” state, the mode shifts to the probability variation mode. In addition, when the small hit game is given in the probability variation latent suggestion mode in the “high probability + no change” state, the probability variation latent suggestion mode is continued. For this reason, when a promiscuous 2-round big hit game or a small win game is awarded, the mode effect of the transition destination is changed according to the game state when winning the winning lottery, so the mode effect can be complicated. It can be expected to be in a high probability lottery state.

  (24) During the internal high-accuracy state, the probability that the variable state is given is high, and the variable pattern (the variable pattern P2 in this embodiment) in which the variable time is set short is easily selected. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the point acquisition mission effect is executed when a specific variation pattern (in the present embodiment, the variation patterns P1, P3 to P6, P8) is selected even in the internal high-accuracy state. By doing so, it is possible to sufficiently secure the time for executing the point acquisition mission effect during the symbol variation game, and also to secure the time for securing the points.

  (25) By setting the probability variation latency confirmation mode, it is possible to give an expectation whether or not the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state. Can be executed, it can be expected whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit.

  (26) In the probability variation latent suggestion mode and the symbol variation game that is executed during the probability variation latent suggestion mode, it is confirmed that the internal high probability state has been established by enabling execution of the jackpot advance notice. Even if the mission does not make sense to perform the mission, a jackpot notice is executed. Thus, the player can be interested in the symbol variation game executed during the probability variation latency confirmation mode.

  (27) It is expected that the point acquisition mission will be executed when the detection effect is executed by setting two situations in which the point acquisition mission is executed and not executed after the execution of the detection effect. Can be given.

  (28) Since the point acquisition mission can be executed based on the variation pattern for the outlier effect or the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect while staying in the probability variation latent suggestion mode, the symbol variation game is out of place. Even if there is a mission effect by operating the operation button BT for performance, points are awarded. As a result, the symbol variation game is out of the way, but since points are awarded, it leads to the promotion of the class, and it is possible to have an expectation for the internal high-probability state by the promotion of the class.

  (29) In the point acquisition mission, even if points are earned by performing the mission once, in order to promote the class, the mission is performed multiple times and the point is reached to the promotion standard value of the class Must. Thereby, it is possible to pay attention to the contents of the mission effect.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
○ In the embodiment, the point acquisition mission effect is executed during the probability variation latent suggestion mode in which the variable state is not given, but may be executed in the mode in which the variable state is given. . In this case, it is desirable that it is difficult for the player to understand whether the internal lottery state is the high probability lottery state or the low probability lottery state.

  In the embodiment, the point acquisition mission may be executed only when the variation pattern P1 is selected. In this case, since the variation pattern P1 is a variation pattern for off-stage production and is a variation pattern that is frequently selected during the execution of the game, the variation pattern that triggers the point acquisition mission is limited to the variation pattern P1. However, the appearance probability of the point acquisition mission does not decrease.

  In the embodiment, a variation pattern that can be selected only when winning the probability variation 2 round jackpot may be additionally set. In FIG. 36, when the variation pattern that can be selected only when winning the probability variation 2 round jackpot is selected while staying in the first probability variation latency suggestion mode, the mode is shifted to the second probability variation latency suggestion mode. On the other hand, during the stay in the first probability variation latent suggestion mode, if the variation pattern selected when winning the probability variation two round big hit or small hit game is selected, the first probability variation latent suggestion mode is stayed. In this way, only by setting the variation pattern, if the overall control board 31 is won by winning the 2nd round of probability variation while saving the trouble of determining whether or not to shift to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode, the first probability variation is determined. Both the case of staying in the latent suggestion mode and the case of shifting to the second probability variation latent suggestion mode can be created.

  ○ In the embodiment, even if the internal high probability state is the high probability lottery state or the low probability lottery state, it is possible to shift to the same effect mode, and the variation time, the number of rounds, the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing blade 26, etc. If the winning game cannot determine the type of winning game from the effect mode, the winning game that triggers the entry into the probability variation latent suggestion mode is not limited to the probability variation 2-round big hit game or the small hit game.

In the embodiment, the jackpot notice may be omitted. In this case, the burden on the overall control board 31 can be reduced. Further, the execution of the jackpot notice may be restricted only during the probability variation latent suggestion mode, or the execution of the jackpot notice may be restricted only during the probability variation latency confirmation mode.

  In the embodiment, the points are accumulated in order to be “successful” in the final mission. However, for example, the result of the mission effect may be “◯ (maru)” or “× (batsu)”. In this case, each time the mission effect is executed, the result (Marukatsuka) is accumulated, and the rate at which the final mission becomes “Success” changes according to the number of “○ (maru)” at the time of execution of the final mission. It is good also as a structure which does.

In the embodiment, the types of point acquisition missions are not limited to three, and may be two or less, or four or more.
In the embodiment, the overall CPU 31a counts the number of symbol variation games executed after the probability variation latent suggestion mode is started, and forcibly terminates the probability variation latent suggestion mode when the number reaches 20 times. You may do it. In this case, the probability variation latent suggestion mode is not excessively extended.

  In the embodiment, the “final mission” is executed by the variable display H2 as the suggestion effect, but the suggestion effect may be the light emission of the decorative lamp 16 or the sound notification by the speaker 17. good.

In the embodiment, the mission effect may be a light emission from the decoration lamp 16 or a voice notification by the speaker 17.
In the embodiment, the manner of distributing points that can be acquired in the point acquisition mission may be changed as appropriate.

  ○ In the embodiment, when the internal high-accuracy state was set, the selection probability of the jumping mission was set to be high as the point acquisition mission, but the selection probability of the sprinting mission and the archery mission was high in the internal high-accuracy state. It may be set to.

  ○ In the embodiment, by performing the mission in the point acquisition mission, the percentage of points that can be obtained as a result that is advantageous to the player is higher in the internal high probability state than in the internal low probability state However, the success probability of the point acquisition mission may be changed in accordance with the internal lottery state.

In the embodiment, the class is not limited to four stages, but may be three stages or less, or may be five stages or more.
○ In the embodiment, when the re-transition lottery is won and the normal mode is changed to the probability variation latent suggestion mode, the class and the accumulated points are started from the initial value, but the class and the accumulated points are selected for the re-transfer lottery. It is also possible to shift to the probability variation latent suggestion mode in a state where the previous value is maintained. Further, either one of the class and the accumulated points may be started from the initial value.

  In the embodiment, the number of times of winning the re-transition lottery and shifting from the normal mode to the probability variation latent display mode in the internal high-accuracy state is limited to 3 times, but may be 2 times or less. It may be more than once. Further, when the re-transition lottery is won in the internal high-accuracy state and the normal mode is shifted to the probability variation latent display mode, the re-transition lottery may not be executed when the number of times reaches three.

In the embodiment, the probability variation mode may not be set.
In the embodiment, when the class at the time of executing the final mission is not a higher class (class K3 in the present embodiment), it may be set so that the mode cannot be shifted to the probability variation latent determination mode even in the internal high-accuracy state.

In the embodiment, the display control board 32 may execute control related to execution of the suggestion effect.
In the embodiment, the stage operation button BT is operated as an opportunity for acquiring points in the point acquisition mission, but the point granting mode is not limited to the execution of the point acquisition mission. For example, if the launching device 19 is operated to allow the game ball to enter the operation gate 23 within a predetermined effective period, points may be obtained. Further, the game is not limited to the operation gate 23, and points may be earned when a game ball is entered in the upper start winning opening 25, the lower starting winning opening 27, or the large winning opening 29 within the effective period. good. Further, when a predetermined number of game balls are entered in the operation gate 23, the upper start winning opening 25, the lower starting winning opening 27, or the large winning opening 29, points may be obtained. In such a case, the main CPU 30a sets an effective period and that a game ball has entered the operation gate 23, the upper start winning opening 25, the lower start winning opening 27, or the big winning opening 29 within the effective period. Based on the detection signal output from the upper start opening sensor SE1, the lower start opening sensor SE2, the count switch SW3, or the gate sensor SE4 that detects the game ball, the operation gate 23, the upper start winning opening 25, and the lower start winning prize are received. An instruction signal instructing that a game ball has entered the mouth 27 or the grand prize winning port 29 is output to the overall control board 31. In addition, when it is set as the specification which acquires a point when a predetermined number of predetermined game balls are entered, the main CPU 30a operates the operation gate 23, the upper start winning port 25, the lower start winning port 27, or the big winning port. The number of game balls that have entered the ball 29 is counted, and a count signal that indicates that the number of game balls has been counted is output to the overall control board 31. Then, the overall CPU 31a that has input the instruction signal determines the number of points to be given based on the input instruction signal, and outputs an instruction command that indicates the determined point to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

  In addition, when the specification is such that points are acquired when a predetermined number of game balls are entered, when the general CPU 31a inputs a count signal from the main CPU 30a, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of points to be given based on the input count signal. Then, an instruction command for instructing the determined point is output to each of the control boards 32-34. Further, when the specification is such that points are acquired when a predetermined number of game balls are entered, the number of points given according to the number of entered balls may be set differently. In this case, the overall CPU 31a determines points according to the number of game balls indicated by the input count signal.
