Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine configured to continuously execute a notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit over a plurality of symbol variation games.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine that is a type of gaming machine, a big hit lottery of whether or not a big hit is made when a game ball enters the start winning opening arranged on the game board, and multiple lottery results of the big hit lottery are obtained It is derived by executing a symbol variation game in which the symbols of the columns are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, the player can recognize the big hit if the symbol that is finally stopped is a big hit symbol.

  In addition, in this type of pachinko machine, in order to improve the interest of the player, an effect that continuously executes (appears) a notice effect across multiple symbol variation games (hereinafter referred to as “continuous notice”). ”). The continuous notice is performed once in one symbol variation game from a number of symbol variation games that are performed before the symbol variation game in which the jackpot effect may be performed. The game is continued across the symbol combination game. Such continuous notice is proposed in the inventions described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, for example.

  In the pachinko machine described in Patent Literature 1 or Patent Literature 2, when a winning game ball is detected at the start winning opening, if the value of the random number for jackpot determination matches the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot is determined, Decide to run the notice. Then, when there are a plurality of start holding balls indicating the number of the game where the game ball is detected at the start winning opening, that is, the number of the symbol variation game held, there are more than the symbol variation game that is a big hit. Continuous notice is executed from the previous symbol variation game. As a result, the player can have a sense of expectation for the big hit from the symbol variation game several times before, and the willingness to continue the game can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the front frame 14 is assembled so as to overlap the middle frame 12 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front side. For this reason, the middle frame 12 is disposed on the rear side of the front frame 14 and cannot be visually recognized from the front side of the machine. The front frame 14 has a window at the center, and an upper ball tray (storage tray) 15 that can store a game ball as a game medium of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is integrally formed below the window. . On the back side of the front frame 14, a glass support frame (not shown) that protects the game board 13 disposed inside the machine and supports glass having a size covering the window is assembled so as to be attachable / detachable and tiltable. The game board 13 is attached to the middle frame 12. In addition, a decorative lamp 16 is provided on the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13a of the game board 13 to perform a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.). . 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.

  In FIG. 2, on the lower right of the game area 13a of the game board 13, there are a first special symbol display H0 as a 7-segment type first special symbol display means and a second 7-segment type special symbol display means. A second special figure display H1 is provided. Further, in the game area 13a of the game board 13, a variable display H2 is provided as a liquid crystal display type effect execution means. The game area 13a of the game board 13 is provided with a center accessory 20 as a decorative member. In the first special symbol display device H0 and the second special graphic display device H1, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column. Is displayed. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display H0 is referred to as “first variation game (first symbol variation game)”, and the symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display H1 is referred to as “second variation game”. ”Fluctuation game (second symbol fluctuation game)”. On the other hand, in the display effect related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display a decorative drawing for each column. This decorative drawing is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special diagram is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special diagram and the decoration drawing are confirmed and stopped at the same time). ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special symbol and the decoration drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state. ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In this embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 include a big hit lottery (big hit determination) and a small lottery lottery (from 61 types in this embodiment) One special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the “small hit determination” is selected, and the selected special figure is individually confirmed and stopped when the symbol variation game ends. The 61 types of special charts are 50 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize the jackpot, and 10 types of jackpot symbols (small hit display results) that can recognize the jackpot. ), And is classified into one type of off-symbol that becomes a symbol that can recognize the off-point. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when a small hit symbol is displayed, a small hit game is given to the player. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is far more than the special figure. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([121] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is given. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability change state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is low probability to high probability is given.

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

  The variable display H2 displays symbol combinations corresponding to the display results of the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. More specifically, a special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 and a combination of symbols based on the decorative graphic displayed on the variable display H2 are supported, and the symbol variation game When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special figure and the decorative drawing is displayed correspondingly in a fixed stop state. For example, when a big hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 in a fixed stop state, the variable big indicator H2 is generally a big hit symbol such as [222] or [444]. The combination is displayed with a fixed stop. In addition, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, a combination of symbols such as [121] and [345] is determined also on the variable display H2. The stop is displayed. In addition, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, the symbol combination of [121] suggesting the probable change is also displayed on the variable display H2. It has become so. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effects relating to the first and second variable games (the symbol variable game in which three rows of symbols are variably displayed to display a combination of symbols). Is to be done.

  Also, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 so as to sandwich the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). ”May be indicated). In this embodiment, there are three types of ordinary diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the right LED is lit, only the left LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the common figure shown when both the two LEDs are lit is called “0”, and the common figure shown when only the right LED is lit is called “1”. The usual figure shown by turning on only the LED is the ordinary figure “2”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or deviation from a symbol combination (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the normal symbols displayed on the normal symbol display H10 are “1” and “2”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal symbol holding display M is disposed above the normal symbol display H10. The normal symbol hold indicator M has the number of stored start balls stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c) as the game balls pass through the actuating gate 23 and becomes the start hold balls (hereinafter referred to as “the normal figure start hold memory number”) (Or “ordinary symbol start reserved memory number”)), and the number of times of the regular symbol game being held is notified by the display content of the normal symbol hold indicator M.

  The usual figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23, and is subtracted by 1 (-1) when the usual figure game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the normal map start-up storage number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). And the normal symbol hold | maintenance display M is comprised by the multiple (4 pieces) light emission means. When one light emitting means is lit, it is informed that one ordinary game is on hold.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability of winning a lottery (winning probability) after the jackpot game is over, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special symbol) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined specific symbol (probability symbol). This is a function for providing a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a normal probability (3/953 in the present embodiment) that is a normal state to a high probability (29/953 in the present embodiment). In the present embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is finished is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not given is a non-probability variation jackpot. Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit is generated. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open / close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the normal game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state which fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1360 ms elapses after opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates favorably for the player. Yes.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, when the upper limit number (for example, 9 balls) of game balls enters, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 9 balls) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entry rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. .

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that gives a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time-short”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. Yes. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game, as described above.

  In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, when the normal game is won when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the open state is maintained until 1360 ms elapses after opening in one opening. It has become. That is, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is given, compared to the state where the normal state is given. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is stopped and displayed on the respective displays H0 to H2 in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit (15 rounds or two rounds in this embodiment). . One round game is performed until the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times. During one round game, the grand prize opening device 29 has a predetermined number (the maximum number of balls to be entered). ) Until the game ball wins or until the specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the five types of big hit games shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become so. Of the five types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, the 50 special symbol jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are five groups of symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, symbol D, symbol E as shown in FIG. are categorized.

Eleven types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are distributed to the symbol E. Also, 10 types of special symbols (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are assigned to the symbol F shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the 50 special symbol jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1 are classified into four groups of symbol a to symbol c and symbol e as shown in FIG. . In the symbol a, 20 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1 are distributed. Similarly, seven types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1 are distributed to the symbol b. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1, three types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol c. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1, 20 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol e.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol a is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, it is given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol a is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “15R special probability variable jackpot game”. In the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the 15R special probability variable big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R special probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the positive change state is given after the big hit game ends, and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the positive probability change state. .

  In addition, in the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the opening time is “6.0 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “15. 1 (second) "is set. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. Therefore, in the 15R special probability variable big hit game, “25 (seconds)” which is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 15R special probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol B is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol b is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol B is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol b is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “15R normal probability variable jackpot game”. In the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the positive change state is given after the big hit game ends, and the next big hit is generated until the 100 symbol variation games are finished. In the meantime, a state of improving the entrance rate is given.

  In addition, in the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, “6.0 (seconds)” as the opening time, “25 (seconds)” as the round game time (specified time) of one round game, and “15. 1 (second) "is set. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, in the 15R normal probability variation big hit game, “25 (seconds)” that is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 15R normal probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol C is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol c is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol C is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol c is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “2R normal probability variable jackpot game”. In the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) of one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, each of the round games is set to open the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) one by one. Further, in the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the positive change state and the increased entry rate state are given after the big hit game is finished.

  Also, in the 2R normal probability variation big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.32 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “4.296 ( Sec) ”is set. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the interval time between rounds in the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, in the round game time (0.32 (seconds)) of the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game is equal to the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of 2R normal probability variation big hit game, within the round game time (0.32 (seconds)), to launch the game ball of “9 balls” which will be the upper limit number of balls to enter, It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 has the specified number of rounds set to “2” and the probability change state after the jackpot game ends. Is a 2-round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is referred to as “2R special probability variable jackpot game”. In the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to be opened “one time” in each round game. In addition, in 2R special probability variable big hit games, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state are given after the big hit game ends, or only the positive change state is given after the big hit game ends. There are cases. Specifically, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state and the increased entry rate state are given after the big hit game ends. In addition, if the winning rate improvement state is given even if the probability change state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability changing state and the entering rate improvement state are given after the big hit game is finished. On the other hand, if the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state are not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is assigned after the end of the big hit game, but the entrance rate improvement state is not provided.

  In addition, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.32 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “4.296 ( Sec) ”is set. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the interval time between rounds in the 2R special probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. Further, the opening mode of the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 in the 2R special probability variable big hit game is the same as the opening mode in the 2R normal probability variable big hit game.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (0.32 (seconds)) of the 2R special probability variable big hit game is that the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game is equal to the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of 2R special probability variable big hit game, within 9 hours of round game time (0.32 (seconds)), the game ball of “9 balls” that will be the upper limit number of balls to be launched, It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol E is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol e is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability change state is given). Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol E is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol e is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game”. In the 15R normal non-probability large hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the big hit game is finished, a short time state (that is, an improved entry rate state) is given until the symbol variation game is played 100 times. It has come to be.

  In the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the opening time is “6.0 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “15” .1 (second) "is set. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, “25 (seconds)” that is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  The small hit game given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 has the specified round number set to “1” and one round The upper limit number of games (count number) is set to “9 balls”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability change state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game, and the short time state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery. For example, even after the small hit game ends, the short time state is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the entrance rate improvement state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In the small hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “4.296 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.32 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the large winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. Thereby, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “2.64 (seconds)” composed of “0.32 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.32 (seconds)”. Will be. For this reason, the round game time of the small hit game is the second round after the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened in the first round of the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the 2R special probability variable big hit game. The time until the big prize opening device 29 is closed is the same time.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, in the round game time (2.64 (seconds)) of the small hit game, the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. It is set to such a time. In other words, in a round game of small hit games, it is practical to launch and enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (2.64 (seconds)). It is impossible.

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

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. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special symbol display H0, a second special graphic indicator H1, a first reserved indicator Ra, a second reserved indicator Rb, and a normal symbol reserved indicator M. ing. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. In addition, the main CPU 30a executes various control programs, updates various random number values such as a hit determination random number every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) updated values in a setting area of the RAM 30c for updating. Rewriting the previous value.

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

  As shown in FIG. 6, the fluctuation pattern is won in the big hit lottery, and when the 15 round big hit game is awarded, the fluctuation patterns P1 to P5 for the 15 round big hit presentation and the big hit lottery are won. The winning pattern is a variation pattern P6 for special hit production that is selected when a two-round jackpot game is awarded, or when a lottery lottery is won. It consists of fluctuation patterns P7 to P15 for off-stage effects that are selected in the case of no off-line. In the variation pattern for the offending effect, a reach is formed, and after the reach effect is performed, the variation pattern P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect that is finally set as a deviation, and the outlier effect that is a deviation without forming the reach. Variation patterns P12 to P15.

  In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P1 to P5 for the big hit effect are selected when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability variable big hit game are determined. The variation pattern P6 for the special hit effect is selected when the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game are determined.

  The jackpot effect performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P5 is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P15 will be described in detail.
When the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P1 to P5 for the big hit effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 have a combination of the big hit symbol and the big hit symbol that can recognize the big hit respectively. It is finally displayed. In addition, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P1 to P5 for the big hit effect, the big special symbol and the big hit that can recognize the big hit respectively on the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2. The symbol combination is finally displayed.

  When the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P6 for the special hit effect when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game and the 2R special probability variation big hit game are determined, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display In H2, the jackpot symbol and the symbol combination suggesting the probability change are finally displayed for each. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P6, the combination of the jackpot symbol and the symbol suggesting the probability variation is finally displayed on the second special symbol display H1 and the variable indicator H2, respectively. It has become. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P6 selected when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is determined, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the probability variation suggestion by the decoration diagram At the same time as the symbol combination is displayed, a big hit symbol based on the special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P6 for the special hit effect when the small hit game is determined, the small special symbol is displayed on the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, respectively. And the symbol combination of the probability change suggestion is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P6 for the special hit effect when the small hit game is determined, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 each have a small hit. A symbol and a symbol combination suggesting a probability change are finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P6 for the special hit effect, after the reach effect is performed by the variable display H2, the symbol combination suggesting the probability change by the decorative drawing is displayed at the same time. In the first special figure display H0, a small hit symbol according to the special figure is displayed.

  In addition, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2 respectively have a outlier symbol and a outlier (outlier reach) symbol. The combination is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect, the second special figure display device H1 and the variable display device H2 each have a dislocation symbol and a disengagement (outlier reach). The symbol combination is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed with the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers according to the decorative drawing is displayed. At the same time, the first special figure display device H0 displays the off symbol according to the special figure.

  Then, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P12 to P15 for the offending effect, after the normal variation on the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, the combination of the deviation symbol and the deviation symbol respectively. Is finally displayed. When the second variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P12 to P15 for the offending effect, the second special symbol display device H1 and the variable display device H2 have the final symbol combination and the symbol combination of the disparity after the normal variation, respectively. The pattern is displayed automatically. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P12 to P15 for the offending effect, after the symbol variation game is started, the normal variation is performed, and the symbol combination of the deviation based on the decoration is displayed on the variable display H2. At the same time, the first special figure display H0 is configured to display the off symbol according to the special figure.

  In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 to P5 for the big hit effect and the variation patterns P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect, any one of the reach effects NR and SR1 to SR4 is achieved. To be done. The reach effect is an effect that is performed in a symbol change game with decorative symbols, from the time when a reach symbol combination is formed until a bonus symbol combination or an outlier symbol combination is derived. For example, in the reach effect NR, after the reach symbol combination by the decorative symbol is displayed, the reach effect is performed with the effect of deriving the decorative symbol by changing the remaining one column (in this embodiment, the middle column). (Also called normal reach production (normal reach production)). In addition, the reach effects SR1 to SR4 pass through the reach effect NR, and after the remaining one row of decorative drawings is changing or temporarily stopped, for example, a specific character appears and is called “XX reach” which is called by the name of the appearing character. ”(Development), and reach production is performed with the production content that derives the decorative design (also referred to as super reach production). In this embodiment, the reach production NR (normal reach production) becomes a normal reach production (normal reach production), and the reach production SR1 to SR3 (super reach production) develops in stages through the normal reach production NR ( Special reach production).

  And in this embodiment, the ratio (hit reliability or expectation degree of jackpot) to which the big hit game is given is varied according to the type of reach production. More specifically, the reach effects SR1 to SR4 are set to have a higher ratio of jackpot games than the reach effect NR. This indicates that the reach effects SR1 to SR4 increase the degree of expectation (possibility) that the big hit game is given compared to the reach effect NR. The ratio at which the jackpot game is given is determined according to the distribution mode when the variation pattern in which each reach effect is performed is allocated to the reach effect instead of the jackpot effect.

  In other words, in order to increase the percentage that the jackpot game of reach production is given, in the case of jackpot relative to the ratio of the reach production (the overall ratio that appears in the case of reach instead of the jackpot) What is necessary is just to distribute a fluctuation pattern so that the ratio that the reach effect appears may be reduced (or one of them) when the reach effect is increased and the ratio that the reach effect appears is decreased. In this way, by changing the ratio of winning jackpot games, the reach symbol combination is displayed, and when a reach effect is performed, the player's expectation for the jackpot according to the type of reach effect The feeling can be changed. In this embodiment, the reach effect NR is executed in a symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 and P7, and the reach effects SR1 to SR4 are symbol variations based on the variation patterns P2 to P5 and P8 to P11. It is supposed to be executed in the game.

  When a reach effect is performed in the symbol variation game, the longer the rendering time specified by the variation pattern is, the higher the jackpot reliability is set. That is, the main CPU 30a makes it easier to determine a variation pattern having a longer presentation time than a variation pattern when the 15R special probability variation big hit game, the 15R normal probability variation big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probability big hit game is determined to be given. . On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative and the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a can easily determine a variation pattern having a shorter effect time than a variation pattern. Accordingly, the main CPU 30a is more likely to determine a variation pattern having a longer variation time among the variation patterns P1 to P5 for the big hit effect (in this embodiment, the order of P1 <P2 <P3 <P4 <P5). On the other hand, the main CPU 30a is less likely to determine a fluctuation pattern having a longer fluctuation time among the normal fluctuation patterns P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect (in this embodiment, the order of P7 <P8 <P9 <P10 <P11). Yes.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (all 953 kinds of integers from 0 to 952) that the random number for winning judgment can take. The number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (29 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (three in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. The hit determination random numbers used in the second variable game are hit determination random numbers in the same range as the first variable game. The jackpot determination value is commonly used in the first variation game and the second variation game. That is, the jackpot determination value used for the big hit determination based on the first start holding ball is the same as the jackpot determination value used for the big hit determination based on the second start holding ball.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the small hit is, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination (953 different integers from 0 to 952). Note that the small hit determination value is the first variation game and the second variation game (by the value of the special symbol variation processing flag indicating which of the first variation game and the second variation game is performed). The number is different. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values when the first variable game is played (six in this embodiment) is the number of small hit determination values when the second variable game is played (this execution) More than 0) in the form. Note that the random number for hit determination uses the random number used in the jackpot determination as it is. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special figure is assigned a predetermined number of special figure distribution random numbers, and when the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when the big hit determination is affirmative), the main hit is based on the acquired special figure distribution random numbers. Determine the design. The special CPU distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical value range (in the present embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) at predetermined intervals. The value is updated by adding 1 to the value (every 4 ms). Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated value in the RAM 30c as a special figure distribution random number value, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number value by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random value value. It is supposed to do. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random number is acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. Commonly used in two fluctuation games. That is, the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. Is the same.

  Note that the jackpot symbol determined by which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A to E (in the case of the second variation game, the symbols a to c, It is different in which group (e). Specifically, [0] indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag indicating that either the first variation game or the second variation game is to be executed. If it is, it is classified into any group of symbols A to E. Then, when a big hit is made in the first floating game, a symbol classified as symbol A as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 30/100, a symbol classified as symbol B is displayed with a probability of 5/100, A symbol classified as symbol C is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and a symbol classified as symbol D is displayed with a probability of 25/100. In addition, symbols classified as symbol E as jackpot symbols are displayed with a probability of 37/100.

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to c and e. . Then, when a big hit is made in the second variable game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a big hit symbol is displayed with a probability of 46/100, a symbol classified as symbol b is displayed with a probability of 7/100, The symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 10/100, and the symbol classified as symbol e is displayed with a probability of 37/100. On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the ten types of small hit symbols, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and When the small hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of missing symbol. The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the RAM 30c stores a small hit design random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit.

  The RAM 30c stores a reach determination random number used when determining whether or not to execute the reach effect when the big hit determination and the small hit determination are off. The reach determination random numbers are numerical values at predetermined intervals (every 4 ms) so that the main CPU 30a can take numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 241 integers from 0 to 240). Is updated by adding 1. Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated value in the RAM 30c as the value of the reach determination random number, and sequentially updates the value of the reach determination random number by rewriting the value of the reach determination random number. It has become. In the present embodiment, the reach determination random number is acquired when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the reach determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the reach determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. belongs to.

  In addition, the reach determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the reach lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect when the symbol variation game is out of the range, and a reach determination random number (from 0 to 240). 241 types of integers). As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the reach determination value indicates whether or not the first variation game is executed, whether or not the entering rate improvement state is given, and the number of stored starting balls. Depending on the number. Specifically, when the first variable game (shown as special figure 1 in FIG. 11) is executed and when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the first special figure start pending storage number When “0” is “1”, the reach determination value is 0 to 33. When the first floating game is executed and the entry rate improvement state is not given, and the first special figure start reserved memory number is “2”, the reach determination value is 0 to 16 It has become. When the first floating game is executed and the entry rate improvement state is not given, and the first special figure start reserved memory number is “3”, the reach determination value is 0-4. It has become. When the first variation game is executed and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the reach determination value is 0-9. When the second variation game (shown as special figure 2 in FIG. 11) is executed and the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the reach determination value is 0 to 19. When the second variation game is executed and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the reach determination value is 0-8.

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. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The overall CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program.

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. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. If the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a proceeds to step 5.

  If the determination result in step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the first special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (1), and the first special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S3). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a determines the value of the hit determination random number, the value of the reach determination random number, the value of the primary distribution random number as the random number for distribution pattern table distribution, and the secondary as the random number for variation pattern distribution. The distribution random number value, the special figure distribution random number value, and the small hit symbol distribution random number value are read out from the RAM 30c and obtained, and the values are stored in the RAM 30c associated with the first special figure start pending storage number. A predetermined storage area is set (step S4).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. When the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S6). If the determination result of step S6 is negative (second special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result in step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the second special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (one addition), and the second special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S7). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a obtains the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the random number for reach determination, the value of the primary distribution random number, the value of the secondary distribution random number, and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 30c. The value is read and acquired, and the value is set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S8). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the big hit game (or the small hit game) is being executed (step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12), and determines whether the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14), and the first special figure start hold memory is stored. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure start reserved memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect has already been output (step S15). S16). When this determination result is negative (when the demonstration designation command is not output), the main CPU 30a outputs the demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (if the first special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a sets the first symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c to the first variation. A value [0] indicating that the game is to be executed is set (step S18). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the first special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S19), and is associated with the first special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, reach determination random number, primary distribution random number, secondary distribution random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S20). More specifically, the main CPU 30a obtains a random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “1” stored earliest. Further, after acquiring the random number, the main CPU 30a corresponds to the random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure start reserved memory number “2” corresponding to the first special figure start reserved memory number “1”. Store in the attached storage area. Similarly, the main CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “3” and the storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “2”. To remember. Similarly, the main CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “4” and the storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “3”. To remember.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of jackpot determination is affirmative (the probability of jackpot) is 3/953. The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 29/953.

  If the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (step S22). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 from among the big hit symbols based on the special diagram based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S23). . The jackpot symbol of the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is classified into any of symbols A to E. Specifically, when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “29” is classified as special figure A, The special jackpot symbol corresponding to the fractional random numbers “30” to “34” is classified as special figure B, and the special jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “35” to “37” is the special figure. Classified as C. Further, when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “38” to “62” is classified into the special figure D, and the special figure distributed random number “ The special bonus jackpot symbols corresponding to 63 ”to“ 99 ”are classified as special graphics E.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the specified jackpot game (step S24). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, B, and E, the main CPU 30a refers to the big hit effect variation pattern table TA shown in FIG. A variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns P1 to P5 for production. The variation pattern table TA is composed of variation patterns P1 to P5 for jackpot effects, and each of the variation patterns P1 to P5 is assigned a plurality of secondary distribution random numbers. Specifically, many secondary distribution random numbers are distributed in the order of variation pattern P1 <variation pattern P2 <variation pattern P3 <variation pattern P4 <variation pattern P5. The main CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table TA and determines the variation patterns P1 to P5 corresponding to the acquired secondary distribution random numbers as variation patterns. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols C and D, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P6 for special hit effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S25). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H0 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a specifies a final stop symbol and outputs a special symbol designation command for indicating the type of the symbol variation game (either the first variation game or the second variation game). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the first special symbol display H0 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made to determine a small hit (lottery lottery) (step S26). In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is positive (small hit probability) is 6/953.

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small bonus symbols (symbol F) based on the special symbol based on the acquired small bonus symbol allocation random number. (Step S28). After that, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P6 for special hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S29). After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25 and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. The various processes related to the changing game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the display device H0 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S26 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S30). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 30c during the process of step S30 matches the reach determination value. It should be noted that the reach determination value at the start of variation differs depending on the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state, the number of first special figure starting reservation storage and the special symbol variation processing flag.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), When the number of 1 special figure start hold memory is “0” “1”, the main CPU 30a affirms the reach determination with a probability of 34/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30 a Is “2”, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 17/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30 a Is “3”, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 5/241. As described above, the greater the number of first special figure start hold memories, that is, the more first variable games that are held, the lower the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation games that are on hold, the faster the digestion of the first variation game that is on hold. On the other hand, the smaller the number of first special figure start reserved memories, that is, the smaller the number of first variable games held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure start hold storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a does not depend on the winning probability of the big hit determination and the number of first special figure start pending storage number The reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 10/241.

  If the determination result in step S30 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S31). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect (step S32).

  Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines one variation pattern table from among the variation pattern tables TB to TD for loss reach production based on the primary distribution random number acquired in step S20. As shown in FIGS. 12B to 12D, primary distribution random numbers are distributed to the variation pattern tables TB to TD. The main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern tables TB to TD corresponding to the acquired primary distribution random numbers. In the variation pattern tables TB to TD, primary distribution random numbers are distributed in the order of variation pattern table TD <variation pattern table TC <variation pattern table TB, and the variation pattern table TB is most easily determined. Yes.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the variation pattern with reference to the determined variation pattern tables TB to TD. In other words, the variation pattern tables TB to TD are composed of a plurality of variation patterns P7 to P11 for outlier reach effects, and each of the variation patterns P7 to P11 is assigned a plurality of secondary distribution random numbers. For this reason, the overall CPU 31a refers to the determined variation pattern tables TB to TD, and determines a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect corresponding to the secondary distribution random number. The variation pattern table TB is composed of variation patterns P7 to P11, and a large number of secondary distribution random numbers are distributed in the order of variation pattern P11 <variation pattern P10 <variation pattern P9 <variation pattern P8 <variation pattern P7. ing. The variation pattern table TC is composed of variation patterns P8 to P9, and many secondary distribution random numbers are distributed in the order of variation pattern P9 <variation pattern P8. The variation pattern table TD is composed of variation patterns P10 to P11, and many secondary distribution random numbers are distributed in the order of variation pattern P11 <variation pattern P10.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S30 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S33). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P12 to P15 for the offending effect (step S34). At this time, the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a differs depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a When the figure start pending storage number is “0” “1”, the fluctuation pattern P12 for the off-stage production with the fluctuation time of 12.5 seconds is determined with the probability of 240/251, and the fluctuation time with the probability of 9/251. A variation pattern P13 for a deviation effect of 7 seconds is determined, and a variation pattern P14 for a variation effect of 3 seconds is determined with a probability of 1/251. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a has the first special diagram start pending storage number “2”. The variation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of 7/251, the variation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 239/251, and the variation pattern P14 is determined with a probability of 5/251. Further, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a, when the first special diagram start reserved memory number is “3”, The fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of 2/251, the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 17/251, and the fluctuation pattern P14 is determined with a probability of 232/251. Thus, as the number of the first variation game being held increases, a variation pattern having a shorter variation time is easily determined. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the more the first variation game being held can be executed more quickly. On the other hand, the smaller the number of the first variation game held, the easier it is to determine a variation pattern with a longer variation time. For this reason, when the number of first special figure start reservation storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P12 with a probability of 249/251 when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, and 1/251. The variation pattern P13 is determined with the probability of ½, and the variation pattern P15 for the off-state effect with the variation time of 2 seconds is determined with the probability of 1/251. As a result, when a state of improving the rate of entry of a ball that facilitates the second variation game is given, the variation time is lengthened, and a time for winning the game ball at the second start winning opening 27 is earned. ing.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a changes the special symbol variation stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c as shown in FIG. A value [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the processing flag (step S35). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the second special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S36), and is associated with the second special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, the special distribution random number, the primary distribution random number, the secondary distribution random number, and the reach determination random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S37). More specifically, the main CPU 30a obtains a random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure start hold storage number “1” stored earliest. Further, after acquiring the random number, the main CPU 30a corresponds to the random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number “2” corresponding to the second special figure start reserved memory number “1”. Store in the attached storage area. Similarly, the main CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure start hold storage number “3” and the storage area associated with the second special figure start hold storage number “2”. To remember. Similarly, the main CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure start hold memory number “4” and the storage area associated with the second special figure start hold memory number “3”. To remember.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). (Step S38). In the present embodiment, in the normal state (low probability), the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (big hit probability) is 3/953, and in the probability variation state (high probability) The probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 29/953.

  When the determination result of step S38 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step S39). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from the big hit symbols based on the special diagram based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S40). . The jackpot symbol of the special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is classified into one of symbols a to c and e. Specifically, when displaying on the second special figure display H1, special figure jackpot symbols corresponding to special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “45” are classified into special figure a, The special jackpot symbol corresponding to the random numbers “46” to “52” is classified as the special symbol b, and the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special symbol distribution random numbers “53” to “62” is the special symbol c. are categorized. Further, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “63” to “99” is classified into the special figure e.

  After the process of step S40, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines the variation patterns P1 to P5 for the jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S41). Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, b, and e, the main CPU 30a refers to the big hit effect variation pattern table TA shown in FIG. The variation patterns P1 to P5 corresponding to the secondary distribution random numbers are determined as variation patterns. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol c, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P6 for special hit effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes relating to the second variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S42). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a designates the final stop symbol and outputs a special symbol designation command for indicating the type of the symbol variation game. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step S38 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S43). Note that the reach determination value at the start of variation differs depending on the gaming state, the number of reserved memories, and the value of the special symbol variation processing flag. As shown in FIG. 11B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), the main CPU 30a Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability of 241. On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a affirms the reach determination with a probability of 9/241.

  If the determination result in step S43 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S44). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P7 to P11 for the outlier reach effect (step S45).

  Specifically, as described above, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern tables TB to TD corresponding to the primary distribution random numbers obtained in step S37. Then, the overall CPU 31a refers to the determined variation pattern tables TB to TD, and determines a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect corresponding to the secondary distribution random number.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Note that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S43 is negative (when the reach determination is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed on the second special symbol display H1 as a fixed stop (step S46). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P12 to P15 for the offending effect (step S47). At this time, the determined variation pattern for the offending effect varies depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the value of the special symbol variation process flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a performs the second special feature. If the figure start pending storage number is “0” “1”, the fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of 240/251, the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 9/251, and the fluctuation pattern with a probability of 1/251. P14 is determined. When the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a has 7 / The fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of 251; the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 239/251; and the fluctuation pattern P14 is determined with a probability of 5/251. When the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special figure start pending storage number is “3”. The fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of 251, the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 17/251, and the fluctuation pattern P14 is determined with a probability of 232/251. In this way, the more the second variation game held, the easier it is to determine a variation pattern with a shorter variation time. For this reason, the more the second variation game being held, the faster the second variation game being held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the number of second variation games that are held, the easier it is to determine a variation pattern with a longer variation time. For this reason, when the number of second special figure start reservation storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special diagram start reserved memory number is “0”. The fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of / 251, the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 1/251, and the fluctuation pattern P15 is determined with a probability of 1/251. In addition, when the special symbol variation processing flag value is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has the second special figure start pending storage number “1” and “2”. In this case, the fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of 10/251, the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 10/251, and the fluctuation pattern P15 is determined with a probability of 231/251. Further, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special diagram start reserved memory number is “3”. The fluctuation pattern P12 is determined with a probability of / 251, the fluctuation pattern P13 is determined with a probability of 10/251, and the fluctuation pattern P15 is determined with a probability of 236/251. As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given and the second special figure start reserved memory number is “1” or more, the variation time is shortened. The held second variation game is executed as soon as possible. On the other hand, when the entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given and the second special figure start reserved memory number is “0”, the variation time is lengthened, It is easy to execute the second variable game.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Note that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  By executing such a special symbol starting process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main CPU 30a performs the second variable game. Is executed preferentially. The second start winning opening 27 has the open / close blade 26 open to facilitate the winning of the game ball when the winning rate improvement state is given. As a result, the winning rate improvement state is given. In the probability variation state or the short time state, the second variation game is easily executed continuously. And if the second variation game is a big hit, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that of the first variation game, but when the probability variation state is given, the 15 round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. That is, the distribution of the special figure distribution random numbers is different, and when the big win is made in the second variable game, the 15 round big hit game is easily given. Therefore, a 15-round jackpot game that can be expected to acquire more game balls than a 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game contents advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the 15-round jackpot game is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game. As described above, in the probability variation state, the second variation game is likely to be continuously executed, and when the second variation game is a big hit, 15 rounds of the big variation game are compared with the first variation game. The probability of being granted is high. From this, when the big hit is continued in the probability variation state or the short time state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the prescribed round number of games becomes 15 rounds is high.

  Further, the main CPU 30a is configured not to give a small hit game when making a determination based on a random number for hit determination stored as the second start holding ball (in the case of the second variable game). For this reason, in the situation where the entrance rate improvement state is given and the second variable game is likely to be played, the possibility that a small hit game that is not expected to be profitable for the player is reduced. In other words, in the state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, it is possible to improve the interest of the game without causing the player to feel stress.

  Then, when the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol And a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a will be described for each of the 15R special probability variable big hit game, 15R normal probability variable big hit game, 2R normal probability variable big hit game, 2R special probability variable big hit game, and 15R normal non-probable big hit game.

  First, the control when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probable big hit game is given will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (6 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (15.1 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when the 15R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to “1” and indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set the operation flag to “1”. In addition, when the 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets 10,000 (no limit) as the number of times of operation indicating the remaining number of symbol variation games to which the entering rate improvement state is given. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted. Further, when the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the probability variation flag, the main CPU 30a outputs a probability variation command indicating the probability variation state to the overall control board 31 and sets “0” in the probability variation flag. Outputs a non-probability change command indicating the non-probability change state to the overall control board 31. Thereby, the overall CPU 31a can grasp whether or not the certainty change state is currently given. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, the main CPU 30a outputs an operation command indicating that the entrance rate is improved to the overall control board 31, and sets the operation flag to “0”. In the case of setting, a non-operation command indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is not given to the overall control board 31 is output. Thereby, the general CPU 31a can grasp whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is currently given.

  In addition, when the 15R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted, and also indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set “1” in the flag. In addition, when the 15R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the number of times of operation indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the improved entering rate is given to 100 times. The number of times that the entrance rate improvement state is given is decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set).

  In addition, when the 15R normal non-probability change big hit game is given, the main CPU 30a sets “0” in the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given, and indicates that the entry rate improvement state is given. Set the operation flag to “1”. Then, when the 15R normal non-probability big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets 100 as the number of times of operation indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entering rate improvement state is given. In addition, each flag, the probability variation state giving frequency, and the operation frequency are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c.

Next, the control when the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are given will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 0.32 seconds). . The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (the first opening), and if the round game time (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the main round of the first round game is played. To end, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round to start the second round game, and measures the round game time (max 0.32 seconds). Start. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (second opening), and if the round game time (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the main game 30a starts the second round game. A closing signal is output to finish.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. When the round game of the second round ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (4.296 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0]. At that time, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag and the operation flag when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the probability variation flag when the 2R special probability variation big hit game is awarded. In addition, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a, if the operation flag or the probability variable flag is set to “1” at the start of the symbol variation game where the 2R special probability variable big hit game is given, The operation flag is set to “1” and the operation frequency is set to 10,000 times. On the other hand, when the 2R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a operates the flag if the probability variable flag and the action flag are not set to “1” at the start of the symbol variation game where the 2R special probability variable big hit game is given. “1” is not set in the.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the small hit (when [1] is set in the small hit flag), the main CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. A predetermined control command is output to the control board 31 (general CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game and starts measuring the round game time (max 2.64 seconds). . In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize opening door 28 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the first big winning prize door 28 is opened. A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as opening the second big prize opening door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time (0.32 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big prize winning opening. To close the door 28, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (4.296 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the small hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to [0]. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value).

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the small hit game, and the open mode of the big winning door 28 are in the same mode. Is produced. Specifically, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game and 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the first round game time (0.32 seconds) + interval time (2.0 seconds) + second round game time (0) .32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds), and the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. And in the small hit game, multiply the first opening time (0.32 seconds) + interval time (2.0 seconds) + second opening time (0.32 seconds) = round game time (2.64 seconds) Thus, the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. That is, the time from the first opening of the big prize opening door 28 in the 2R special probability variable big hit game, 2R normal probability variable big hit game and small hit game to the end of the second time is “2.64”. (Seconds) "and the opening / closing mode is the same. That is, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening manner for “2.64 (seconds)”.

  From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the open state of the big prize opening door 28 is visually confirmed, it is not possible to distinguish between 2R special probability variable big hit game, 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and small hit game. . As a result, even if the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice in a short time (0.32 seconds), the player cannot distinguish whether the game is a small hit game or not.

Further, the main CPU 30a serves as an entrance rate improvement state giving means to which an entrance rate improvement state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to assign a probability change state. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly and outputs the predetermined control command at a predetermined timing.

  For example, the overall CPU 31a sets the production mode based on various control commands. In the effect mode, a normal mode that is set when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability change state are not given, and a probability change state that is set when the entrance rate improvement state is not given are assigned. There is usually a probabilistic suggestion mode that suggests a possibility. In addition, the production mode is set when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and a special probability change suggestion mode that suggests that there is a possibility that the probability change state is given, the entrance rate improvement state, and There is a probability variation mode that is set when the probability variation state is imparted and indicates that the probability variation state is imparted.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the general CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34. Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the general CPU 31a displays the variable display H2 based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols based on the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped is determined. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a inputs the all symbols stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the all symbols stop command to the display control board 32. Further, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to each of the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

Hereinafter, these detailed processes will be described.
First, a process for determining a symbol combination (hereinafter simply referred to as a confirmed symbol) based on a decorative symbol that is to be confirmed and stopped on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game will be described. The overall CPU 31a according to the present embodiment displays a decorative symbol that is displayed on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command, the set effect mode, and the variation pattern. The combination is decided.

  Specifically, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the special symbol A, a (a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 15R special probability variable big hit game), the general CPU 31a is given a probability variation state as a confirmed symbol. The jackpot symbol combination based on a specific symbol that can be recognized is determined. In this embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination based on a specific symbol that can be recognized to be given a probability variation state is [111] [333] [555] [777].

  Further, the general CPU 31a determines that the designated final stop symbol is symbol B, b (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 15R normal probability variable big hit game) or symbol E, e (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 15R normal non-probable variable big hit game). In the case of, a jackpot symbol combination based on a non-specific symbol that cannot be recognized that a probability variation state is given is determined as a definite symbol. The jackpot symbol combinations based on the non-specific symbols are [222] [444] [666] [888].

  Further, the general CPU 31a determines that the designated final stop symbol is a special symbol C, c (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 2R normal probability variable big hit game), or a symbol D (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 2R special probability variable big hit game), or In the case of the symbol F (small hit symbol), the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation is determined as the confirmed symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach as the final symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and a variation pattern for a loss effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination as a definite symbol. As described above, when the overall CPU 31a determines the confirmed symbol, the overall CPU 31a outputs a decoration design designation command for designating the confirmed symbol to the display control board 32.

Next, processing for setting the effect mode will be described.
When the final stop symbol specified by the special symbol designation command is the special symbol A, a or the special symbol C, c, the general CPU 31a sets the probability variation mode after the big hit game is finished. To do. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol B, b or symbol E, e, the overall CPU 31a sets a special probability change suggestion mode after the jackpot game ends when the jackpot game ends. . Further, the general CPU 31a sets the normal probability variation suggestion mode when the special probability variation suggestion mode is set and the entrance rate improvement state is not imparted and the probability variation state is imparted. To do. In addition, when the special probability change suggestion mode is set, the general CPU 31a is in a case where the entrance rate improvement state is not provided, and in the case where the probability change state is not provided, the normal probability change suggestion mode or normal One of the modes is determined by lottery, and the determined production mode is set.

  Further, the overall CPU 31a sets the special probability change suggestion mode when the designated final stop symbol is the symbol D and the entry rate improvement state is given. Further, the overall CPU 31a sets the normal probability variation suggestion mode when the designated final stop symbol is the symbol D and the entry rate improvement state is not given. Further, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol F, the overall CPU 31a continues the effect mode before the small hit or sets the normal probability change suggestion mode. In addition, when the normal probability change suggestion mode is set and the entrance rate improvement state and the probability change state are not given, the general CPU 31a changes the normal mode after the predetermined symbol variation game is over. Set. Then, when setting the effect mode, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect mode specifying command for specifying the set effect mode to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs an effect mode designation command, the designated effect mode is set. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 32a is variable so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed and the symbol combination game is started based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the set effect mode. The display content of the display H2 is controlled. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbols stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the variable display device H2 to display the fixed symbol designated by the decoration drawing designation command.

  Further, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the opening effect. In addition, when the round command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the round effect. Further, when the ending command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the ending effect. Thereby, in the variable display H2, an opening effect, a round effect, and an ending effect are each performed.

  And in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, it is comprised so that the notice effect which suggests the possibility of a big hit over several symbol change games can be performed. Hereinafter, a process for executing the notice effect will be described. Based on FIG. 13, the notice setting process executed by the main CPU 30a will be described. This advance notice setting process is executed after the special symbol input process.

  When executing the advance notice setting process, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25 (step S101). If the determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the big hit is being made (whether or not “1” is set in the big hit flag) (step S102). When the determination result is negative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (whether or not “1” is set in the operation flag) (step S103). When this determination result is negative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the notice effect can be executed in the first variable game (that is, whether or not the notice effect is executed), and determines that it can be executed. If so, the first continuous notice determination process shown in FIG. 14 is executed in order to output a control command for designating the contents of the notice effect (step S104).

  When the determination result of step S101 is negative, when the determination result of step S102 is affirmative, when the determination result of step S103 is affirmative, or when the process of step S104 ends, the main CPU 30a then 2. It is determined whether or not a game ball is detected at the start winning opening 27 (step S105). When this determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the notice effect can be executed in the second variable game (that is, whether or not the notice effect is executed), and determines that it can be executed. If so, the second continuous notice determination process shown in FIG. 15 is executed to output a control command for designating the contents of the notice effect (step S106). Then, the overall CPU 31a ends the notice setting process.

  If a game ball has entered at the second start prize opening 27, even if the game ball has entered at the first start prize opening 25 before that and the first special figure start reserved memory number is 1 or more, The first variable game is put on hold and the second variable game is preferentially executed. For this reason, when the entrance rate improvement state in which the second variation game is easy to continue is given and the notice effect is set to end in the first variation game, the second variation game has priority. There is a possibility that the continuous notice will not end or the continuous notice will be interrupted (does not become a continuous notice) until it is executed and the second special figure start reserved memory number is exhausted or the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a is stored in the RAM 30c when a game entrance rate improving state in which a game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening 27 is given or when a big hit game is being played. When rewriting by adding 1 to the number of first special figure start hold storage, it is not determined whether or not the notice effect can be executed (the first continuous notice determination process is not executed). As a result, during the winning rate improvement state or during the big hit game, even if a game ball is detected at the first start winning opening 25, the notice effect is not executed, and the continuous notice is not ended or the continuous notice is interrupted. Can be prevented. Therefore, a notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit can be continuously executed over a plurality of symbol variation games without a sense of incongruity.

  Next, the first continuous notice determination process in step S104 will be described based on FIG. The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the notice effect can be executed based on the value of the random number for winning determination obtained when the game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25 in the special symbol input process. It is determined whether or not it matches with the jackpot notice determination value for performing (step S201). The jackpot notice determination value is set to be the same value as the jackpot determination value, and the number of the jackpot notice determination value and the number of jackpot determination values is also set to be the same. That is, in the present embodiment, the big hit determination values are set to “5”, “47”, and “397” in the normal state (non-probability variation state). “5”, “47”, and “397”. Similarly, in the probability variation state, the big hit determination values are “5”, “47”, “397”, “23”, “71”, “101”, “157”, “211”, “223”, “311”. ”,“ 431 ”,“ 463 ”,“ 503 ”,“ 577 ”,“ 607 ”,“ 631 ”,“ 769 ”,“ 853 ”,“ 911 ”,“ 919 ”,“ 3 ”,“ 11 ”, Since “373”, “709”, “797”, “109”, and “499” are set, the jackpot notice determination value is also “5”, “47”, “397”, “23” in the probability variation state. ”,“ 71 ”,“ 101 ”,“ 157 ”,“ 211 ”,“ 223 ”,“ 311 ”,“ 431 ”,“ 463 ”,“ 503 ”,“ 577 ”,“ 607 ”,“ 631 ”, “769”, “853”, “911”, “919”, “3”, “11”, “373” "709", "797", "109", is set to be "499". Accordingly, when the big hit is made, the main CPU 30a always makes an affirmative determination in step S201.

  If the determination result in step S201 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a can designate the first special figure start suspension storage number stored in the RAM 31c and execute the notice effect, and the first variation The first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command indicating that the game will be a jackpot is output (step S202). Then, the first continuous notice determination process ends. At the time of the process of step S202, the main CPU 30a is after the special symbol input process, and as a result of winning the game ball in the first start winning opening 25, 1 is added to the first special figure start reserved memory number. Thus, the stored contents of the RAM 30c have already been rewritten. In addition, since it is before execution of the special symbol start process, 1 is not subtracted from the first special figure start hold memory number after adding 1 to the first special figure start hold memory number.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S201 is negative, the main CPU 30a indicates that the reach determination random number value acquired together with the hit determination random number when the game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25 is the notice effect. It is determined whether or not it coincides with the reach advance notice determination value for determining whether or not it can be executed (step S203). The reach notice determination value for reach is set to be the same value as the reach determination value. In the present embodiment, the reach determination value at the start of variation is determined by the gaming state (whether it is the first variation game, presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state, number of stored start balls, presence / absence of probability variation state), Although the range of possible values is set to be different, even if the gaming state is different, some of the ranges are set to be able to take the same value. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the reach determination value always includes a value of 0 to 4 in the range. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the reach determination value always includes a value of 0 to 8 in the range. Therefore, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is set as the reach advance notice determination value in the normal state, and the entrance rate improvement state is assigned. At this time, a value of 0 to 8 is set as the reach notice determination value for reach in the improved entrance rate state.

  Accordingly, in step S203, the main CPU 30a matches the reach advance notice determination value (0 to 8) in the entrance rate improvement state with the acquired reach determination random number when the entrance rate improvement state is given. It is determined whether or not. In step S203, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach advance notice determination value (0 to 4) in the normal state matches the acquired reach determination random number when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Determine.

  If the determination result of step S203 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the first continuous notice determination process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S203 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a refers to the value of the primary distribution random number acquired together with the reach determination random number when the game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25, It is determined whether or not to determine the variation pattern including the reach effects SR1 and SR2 in the effect content from the variation pattern table TC (step S204). Specifically, since the fluctuation pattern table TC is associated with the primary distribution random numbers from 150 to 199, the main CPU 30a determines that the acquired primary distribution random numbers are in the range from 150 to 199 in step S204. It is determined whether or not it can be taken.

  If the determination result in step S204 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a indicates the stored number of first special figure start hold storage, and can execute a notice effect, and reach effects SR1 to SR2 (super reach effect) ) Is output (step S205). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the first continuous notice determination process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S204 is negative, the main CPU 30a refers to the value of the primary distribution random number acquired together with the reach determination random number when the game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25, It is determined whether or not to determine a variation pattern including reach effects SR3 to SR4 in the effect content from the variation pattern table TD (step S206). Specifically, since the fluctuation pattern table TD is associated with the primary distribution random numbers from 200 to 238, the main CPU 30a determines that the acquired primary distribution random numbers are in the range from 200 to 238 in step S206. It is determined whether or not it can be taken.

  If this determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 30a designates the first special figure start hold storage number stored in the RAM 30c, and can execute the notice effect, and reach effects SR3 to SR4 (super reach) A first highly reliable reach advance notice effect instruction command for a variable game indicating that the effect is executed is output (step S207), and the first continuous notice determination process is terminated. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S206 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the first continuous notice determination process.

Next, the second continuous notice determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the winning determination random number acquired when the game ball is detected in the second start winning opening 27 in the special symbol input process can cause the notice effect to be executed. It is determined whether or not it matches the jackpot notice determination value for determining whether or not (step S301). If the determination result in step S301 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a can designate the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c and execute the notice effect, and the second variation. A second variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command indicating that the game is a big hit is output (step S302), and the second continuous notice determination process is terminated. At the time of the process of step S302, the main CPU 30a is after the special symbol input process, and therefore, as a result of winning the game ball in the second start winning opening 27, 1 is added to the second special figure start reserved memory number. Thus, the stored contents of the RAM 30c have already been rewritten. In addition, since it is before execution of the special symbol start process, 1 is not subtracted from the second special figure start hold memory number after adding 1 to the second special figure start hold memory number.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S301 is negative, the main CPU 30a acquires the reach determination random number when the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 27, as in the process of step S203 described above. It is determined whether or not the value of the determination random number matches the reach notice determination value for determining whether or not to execute the notice effect (step S303). When the determination result is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the second continuous notice determination process.

  If the determination result in step S303 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a refers to the value of the primary distribution random number acquired together with the reach determination random number when the game ball is detected in the second start winning opening 27, and the fluctuation pattern It is determined whether or not to determine a variation pattern including the reach effects SR1 and SR2 in the effect contents from the table TC (step S304). Specifically, in step S304, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired primary distribution random number can take a range of 150 to 199.

  If the determination result in step S304 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a indicates the stored second special figure start reserved memory number and can execute the notice effect, and reach effects SR1 to SR2 (super reach effect) ) Is output (step S305). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the second continuous notice determination process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S304 is negative, the main CPU 30a refers to the value of the primary distribution random number acquired together with the reach determination random number when the game ball is detected in the second start winning opening 27, It is determined whether or not to determine a variation pattern including the reach effects SR3 to SR4 in the effect content from the variation pattern table TD (step S306). Specifically, in step S306, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired primary distribution random number can take a range of 200 to 238.

  If this determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 30a designates the second special figure start reserved storage number stored in the RAM 30c, and can execute the notice effect, and reach effects SR3 to SR4 (super reach) The second highly reliable reach advance notice effect instruction command for variable game indicating that the effect is executed is output (step S307), and the second continuous notice determination process is terminated. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S306 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the second continuous notice determination process.

  As described above, in the first continuous notice determination process and the second continuous notice determination process, the main CPU 30a determines that when the random number for hit determination matches the big hit notice determination value that matches the big hit determination value, or reaches When the determination random number matches the reach notice determination value that matches the reach determination value, the notice effect can be executed. For this reason, when a notice effect is executed, a big hit or a reach effect is always executed. Thereby, when the notice effect is executed, the player's expectation can be sufficiently improved.

  Next, the notice effect determining process executed by the overall control board 31 in order to determine whether or not to execute the notice effect will be described. First, the notice effect determination process when the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input will be described.

  The overall CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect with a probability of 50/101 when the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input when the probability variation state is given. Further, the general CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect with a probability of 48/101 when the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input when the probability variation state is not given. When the overall CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect, and when the first variable game jackpot notice instruction command is input, the general CPU 31a receives the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command. The designated first special figure start reserved memory number is stored in the RAM 31c as the first notice number indicating the number of times of the first variable game to be executed before the notice effect ends. Further, the general CPU 31a indicates that there is a normal notice effect (first notice effect) that suggests that there is a possibility of a big hit, and that the possibility of a big hit is higher than the normal notice effect (first notice effect). Which of the suggested high-reliability notice effects (second notice effect) is to be executed is determined. Then, the overall CPU 31a sets a notice effect execution command for instructing the determined notice effect in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command output when the notice effect is executed. The overall CPU 31a determines the execution of the high-reliability notice effect (second notice effect) with high probability when the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a notice effect execution command set in the RAM 31c every time the symbol variation game is executed (every time a variation pattern designation command is output) until the first notice count becomes zero. In addition, when the general CPU 31a executes the first variable game, when outputting the high-reliability notice effect execution command, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice number stored in the RAM 31c to obtain the value of the first notice number. rewrite.

Next, the notice effect determination process when the second variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input will be described.
The overall CPU 31a determines that the announcement effect is executed with a probability of 50/101 when the second variation game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input while the probability variation state is given. In addition, when the second variation game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input when the probability variation state is not given, the overall CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect with a probability of 48/101. When the overall CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect, and when the second variable game jackpot notice instruction command is input, the general CPU 31a uses the input second variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command. The designated second special figure start reserved memory number is stored in the RAM 31c as the second notice number indicating the number of times of the second variable game to be executed before the notice effect is finished. Further, the general CPU 31a indicates that there is a normal notice effect (first notice effect) that suggests that there is a possibility of a big hit, and that the possibility of a big hit is higher than the normal notice effect (first notice effect). Which of the suggested high-reliability notice effects (second notice effect) is to be executed is determined. Then, the overall CPU 31a sets a notice effect execution command for instructing the determined notice effect in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command output when the notice effect is executed. The overall CPU 31a determines the execution of the high-reliability notice effect (second notice effect) with high probability when the second variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs the set notice effect execution command every time the symbol variation game is executed (every time the variation pattern designation command is output) until the second notice number becomes zero. Further, when the general CPU 31a executes the second variable game, when the high-reliability notice effect execution command is output, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the second notice number stored in the RAM 31c to obtain the value of the second notice number. rewrite.

Next, a description will be given of the notice effect determination process when the first variable game high reliability reach notice effect instruction command is input during the normal state.
When the overall CPU 31a is in the normal state (when the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are not given), when the first highly reliable reach advance notice instruction command for a variable game is input, FIG. Referring to the reach notice determination table in the normal state, it is determined whether or not to execute the notice effect. The reach notice determination table is 101/101 when the number of first special figure start hold storage numbers specified in the input first high-reliability reach notice instruction instruction command for variable game is “1”. If the random number is distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect with the probability of, and the number of the first special figure start reserved storage number is “2”, the notice effect is executed with the probability of 90/101 Random numbers are distributed to determine. Similarly, the reach notice determination table is 80 when the number of first special figure start pending storage numbers specified by the input first high-reliability reach notice instruction instruction command for variable game is “3”. When the random number is distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect with the probability of / 101, and the number of the first special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, the notice effect of 70/101 is assumed. Random numbers are assigned to determine execution.

  Then, the general CPU 31a determines that the notice effect is to be executed, and if the first variable game high-reliability reach notice effect instruction command is input, the input first variable game height The first special figure start hold storage number designated by the reliability reach notice effect instruction command is stored in the RAM 31c as the first notice number. In addition, the overall CPU 31a instructs to execute a highly reliable notice effect (second notice effect) that suggests that the possibility of a big hit is higher than the normal notice effect (first notice effect). The degree notice execution command is set in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command output when the notice effect is executed. Then, each time the symbol variation game is executed (every time a variation pattern designation command is output), the overall CPU 31a outputs the set high reliability notification effect execution command until the first notification count becomes zero. In addition, when the general CPU 31a executes the first variable game, when outputting the high-reliability notice effect execution command, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice number stored in the RAM 31c to obtain the value of the first notice number. rewrite.

Next, a description will be given of the notice effect determination process when the second variable game high reliability reach notice effect instruction command is input during the normal state.
When the general CPU 31a is in the normal state (when the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are not given) and inputs the second highly reliable reach advance notice instruction command for a variable game, FIG. Referring to the reach notice determination table in the normal state, it is determined whether or not to execute the notice effect. The reach notice determination table is 101/101 when the number of the second special figure start hold storage number specified by the input second high reliability reach advance notice instruction command for variable game is “1”. When random numbers are distributed so that the execution of the notice effect is determined by the probability, and the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number is “2”, the execution of the notice effect is determined by the probability of 90/101 Random numbers are distributed as you do. Similarly, the reach notice determination table is 80 when the number of the second special figure start pending storage number designated by the input second high-reliability reach notification instruction command for variable game is “3”. When the random number is distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect with the probability of / 101, and the number of the second special figure start reserved storage number is “4”, the notice effect of 70/101 is assumed. Random numbers are assigned to determine execution.

  Then, when the general CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect, and when the second variable game high reliability reach notice effect instruction command is input, the input second variable game height The second special figure start hold storage number specified by the reliability reach notice effect instruction command is stored in the RAM 31c as the second notice number. In addition, the overall CPU 31a instructs to execute a highly reliable notice effect (second notice effect) that suggests that the possibility of a big hit is higher than the normal notice effect (first notice effect). The degree notice execution command is set in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command output when the notice effect is executed. Then, each time the symbol variation game is executed (every time a variation pattern designation command is output), the overall CPU 31a outputs the set high reliability notification effect execution command until the second notification count becomes zero. When the general CPU 31a executes the second variable game until the second notice count reaches zero, the overall CPU 31a outputs 1 from the second notice count stored in the RAM 31c when outputting the highly reliable notice effect execution command. Subtract and rewrite the value of the second notice count.

Next, a description will be given of the notice effect determination process when the first variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is input during the normal state.
When the general CPU 31a is in the normal state (when the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are not given) and inputs the first variable game normal reach advance notice instruction command, the normal CPU of FIG. With reference to the reach notice determination table in the state, it is determined whether or not to execute the notice effect. The reach notice determination table has a probability of 101/101 when the number of first special figure start hold storage numbers designated by the input first variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is “1”. When random numbers are distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect, and the number of the first special figure start hold storage number is “2”, the execution of the notice effect is determined with a probability of 101/101. Random numbers are distributed. Similarly, the reach notice determination table is 70/101 when the number of first special figure start hold storage numbers designated by the input first variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is “3”. If the random number is distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect with the probability of and the number of the first special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, the notice effect is executed with the probability of 60/101.

It is set in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs the set normal notice effect execution command every time the symbol variation game is executed until the first notice number becomes zero. Further, when the general CPU 31a executes the first variable game until the first notice count reaches 0, when the normal notice effect execution command is output, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count stored in the RAM 31c.

The first special figure start hold storage number designated by the production instruction command is stored in the RAM 31c as the first notice count. Further, the overall CPU 31a sets the normal notice effect execution command in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command that is output when the notice effect is executed. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs the set normal notice effect execution command every time the symbol variation game is executed until the first notice number becomes zero. Further, when the general CPU 31a executes the first variable game until the first notice count reaches 0, when the normal notice effect execution command is output, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count stored in the RAM 31c. To rewrite the value of the first notice count.

Next, the notice effect determination process when the second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is input during the probability change state will be described.
When the overall CPU 31a is in the probability change state, when the second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is input, the general CPU 31a executes the notice effect with reference to the reach notice determination table in the probability change state in FIG. Decide whether or not to The reach notice determination table in the probability change state is 50 / when the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number specified by the input second reachable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is “1”.

Similarly, the reach notice determination table is 45/101 when the number of the second special figure start hold storage number specified by the input second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is “3”. If the random number is distributed so that the execution of the notice effect is determined with the probability of, and the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, the notice effect is executed with the probability of 40/101.

The general CPU 31a outputs the set normal notice effect execution command every time the symbol variation game is executed until the second notice number becomes zero. When the general CPU 31a executes the second variable game until the second notice count reaches zero, the general CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the second notice count stored in the RAM 31c when outputting the normal notice effect execution command. To rewrite the value of the second notice count.

Next, the notice effect determination process when the second highly reliable reach notice effect instruction command for the variable game is input during the time-short state will be described.
When the general CPU 31a inputs the second highly reliable reach advance notice instruction command for the variable game in the time reduction state, the general CPU 31a refers to the reach advance notice determination table in the time reduction state of FIG. Determine whether to execute. The reach notice determination table is 70/101 when the number of the second special figure start hold storage number designated by the input second high reliability reach advance notice instruction command for variable game is “1”. If random numbers are distributed so that the execution of the notice effect is determined by the probability, and the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number is “2”, the execution of the notice effect is determined by the probability of 60/101 Random numbers are distributed as you do. Similarly, the reach notice determination table indicates that when the number of second special figure start pending storage numbers specified by the input second high-reliability game high reliability reach notice notice instruction command is “3”, 60 If the random number is distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect with the probability of / 101, and the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, the notice effect of the 50/101 probability is Random numbers are assigned to determine execution.

In addition, the overall CPU 31a sets a highly reliable notice effect execution command in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command that is output when the notice effect is executed. Then, each time the symbol variation game is executed (every time a variation pattern designation command is output), the overall CPU 31a outputs the set high reliability notification effect execution command until the second notification count becomes zero. When the general CPU 31a executes the second variable game until the second notice count reaches zero, the overall CPU 31a outputs 1 from the second notice count stored in the RAM 31c when outputting the highly reliable notice effect execution command. Subtract and rewrite the value of the second notice count.

Next, the notice effect determination process in the case where the second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is input during the short-time state will be described.
When the general CPU 31a is in the short-time state and inputs a second reachable game normal reach notice effect instruction command, the general CPU 31a executes the notice effect with reference to the reach notice determination table in the short-time state in FIG. Decide whether or not to The reach notice determination table in the probability change state is 60 / when the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number specified by the input second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is “1”. When random numbers are distributed so as to determine the execution of the notice effect with the probability of 101, and the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number is “2”, the notice effect is executed with the probability of 60/101 Random numbers are distributed so as to determine. Similarly, the reach notice determination table is 50/101 when the number of second special figure start hold storage numbers specified by the input second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is “3”. If the random number is distributed so that the execution of the notice effect is determined with the probability of, and the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, the notice effect is executed with the probability of 40/101. Random numbers are distributed to determine.

  Then, the general CPU 31a determines that the notice effect is to be executed, and if the second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is input, the input second variable game normal reach notice is input. The second special figure start reserved memory number designated by the effect instruction command is stored in the RAM 31c as the second notice number. Further, the overall CPU 31a sets the normal notice effect execution command in the RAM 31c as a notice effect execution command that is output when the notice effect is executed. The general CPU 31a outputs the set normal notice effect execution command every time the symbol variation game is executed until the second notice number becomes zero. When the general CPU 31a executes the second variable game until the second notice count reaches zero, the general CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the second notice count stored in the RAM 31c when outputting the normal notice effect execution command. To rewrite the value of the second notice count.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the main CPU 30a prefetches that the shift reach effect is executed when the winning of the game ball is detected, the primary distribution random number acquired at the time of detecting the winning is the highly reliable reach effect SR3. When the variation pattern table TD in which ~ SR4 is executed is indicated, a highly reliable notice effect execution command is output so as to execute the highly reliable notice effect. Further, in the present embodiment, when the main CPU 30a prefetches that a jackpot effect is executed when a winning of a game ball is detected, the main CPU 30a outputs a notice effect execution command so as to execute a highly reliable notice effect or a normal notice effect. . For this reason, it is possible to predict what kind of game effect will be executed in the symbol variation game at the end of the continuous notice effect, and make the player pay attention to the notice effect based on the content of the notice effect. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, when the general CPU 31a determines to execute the notice effect when a game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25, the first special figure start reserved memory number at the time of detecting the winning is determined. Is set as the first notice count. Then, each time the first variable game is executed, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count, and the notice effect is executed for each symbol change game until the first notice count becomes zero. For this reason, even when the second variation game that is preferentially executed is executed while the notice effect is being executed across the plurality of first variation games, the second variation game is in progress. The notice effect is executed at the same time, and the continuous notice is not interrupted. In addition, since the general CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the number of first notices each time the first variable game is executed, the general CPU 31a performs the second notice while the notice effect is executed across the plurality of first variable games. Even if the first variation game is preferentially executed, the first variation game for which the continuous notice ends is not shifted. That is, in the first variable game in which the big hit determination (or reach determination) is performed with the random number for hit determination (or the random number for reach determination) acquired when the execution of the notice effect is determined, and the continuous notice ends. The big hit effect or the reach effect can be executed without fail.

  In the present embodiment, the general CPU 31a designates that the main CPU 30a is capable of executing a notice effect (when a notice effect instruction command is input), and the gaming state (the number of stored reserved balls for starting) The execution of the notice effect is determined with a probability corresponding to the presence / absence of the probability variation state, the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state, the contents of the effect of the notice effect, and the like. For this reason, it is possible to change the appearance rate, the reliability, and the contents of the effect of the continuous notice depending on the gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the general CPU 31a does not determine the execution of the notice effect when the first notice number or the second notice number is set when the notice effect instruction command is input. Yes. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a notice determination unit for determining whether to execute a notice effect. The main control board 30 serves as main control means. The overall control board 31 and the display control board 32 serve as sub-control means. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as a notice determination unit for determining execution of the notice effect. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a and the sub CPU 32a serve as effect control means. The main CPU 30a serves as a notice content determination unit.

Next, the execution timing of the notice effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 17A, in a normal state, a game ball is detected at the first start winning opening 25, and the random number for winning determination obtained at the time of detecting the winning matches the jackpot notice determination value (and the jackpot determination value). It will be explained as a thing. In addition, the winning determination random number other than the winning determination random number acquired at the time of winning detection does not match the jackpot determination value, and the reach determining random number other than at the time of winning detection does not match the reach determination value. Shall. Further, the general CPU 31a will be described as determining the execution of the notice effect when the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input. Also, at the start of FIG. 17A, the first special figure start hold memory number is “3”, the first special figure start hold memory number becomes “4” upon winning detection, and thereafter the first start is started. In the following description, it is assumed that a game ball is not detected at the winning opening 25. Further, at the start of FIG. 17A, the second special figure start reserved memory number is “0”, and when the first special figure start reserved memory number becomes “1”, the second start winning opening In the following description, it is assumed that a winning game ball is detected to No. 27 and the second special figure start holding memory number is “1”. Further, after the second special figure start reserved memory number becomes “1”, it is assumed that no game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 27.

  When a winning game ball is detected at the first start winning opening 25 and the first special figure start reserved memory number becomes “4” (time T10), the main CPU 30a determines that the acquired hit determination random number is the jackpot advance notice determination value. It is determined whether or not it matches. Since this determination result is affirmative based on the premise, the main CPU 30a instructs the central control board 31 that the first special figure start reservation storage number is “4” and the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction. Output the command. When the general CPU 31a inputs the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the notice effect. Based on the premise, in order to determine that the notice effect is to be executed, the overall CPU 31a sets the first special figure start hold memory number “4” designated by the input first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command to the first notice number of times. Set as. Further, when outputting the execution command, the overall CPU 31a sets the RAM 31c to output the high-reliability notice effect execution command.

Is determined (time T11). Then, the main CPU 30a is related to the first special figure start reserved memory number and is stored earliest (the first special figure start reserved memory number at the time when the first special figure start reserved memory number “4” is stored). The hit determination random number and the reach determination random number (corresponding to “1”) are read, and the big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the random numbers. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first special figure start pending storage number to “3”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count to set the first notice count to “3”, and also includes the input variation pattern designation command and the set high reliability notice. A production execution command is output. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes the high-reliability notice effect based on the input fluctuation pattern designation command and the high-reliability notice effect execution command, and a variable indicator so as to execute a symbol change game that is out of place. Controls the display content of H2. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

  When the symbol variation game is ended, the main CPU 30a has the second special figure start winning port reserved memory number “0” and the first special figure start reserved memory number “3”. The game is determined to be executed (time T12). The main CPU 30a is related to the first special figure start reserved memory number, and is stored the earliest (the first special figure start reserved memory number at the time when the first special figure start reserved memory number “4” is stored). The hit determination random number and the reach determination random number (corresponding to “2”) are read, and the big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the random numbers. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first special figure start reserved memory number to “2”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count to set the first notice count to “2”, and also provides the input variation pattern designation command and the set high reliability notice. A production execution command is output. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes the high-reliability notice effect based on the input fluctuation pattern designation command and the high-reliability notice effect execution command, and a variable indicator so as to execute a symbol change game that is out of place. Controls the display content of H2. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

  Similarly, when the symbol variation game is ended, the main CPU 30a has the second special figure start winning port reserved memory number “0” and the first special figure start reserved memory number “2”. Is determined to be executed (time T13). The main CPU 30a is related to the first special figure start reserved memory number, and is stored the earliest (the first special figure start reserved memory number at the time when the first special figure start reserved memory number “4” is stored). The hit determination random number and the reach determination random number (corresponding to “3”) are read out, and the big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the random numbers. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first special figure start reserved memory number to “1”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count to set the first notice count to “1”, and also includes the input variation pattern designation command and the set high reliability notice. A production execution command is output. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes the high-reliability notice effect based on the input fluctuation pattern designation command and the high-reliability notice effect execution command, and a variable indicator so as to execute a symbol change game that is out of place. Controls the display content of H2.

  Further, when the first special figure start reserved memory number becomes “1” based on the premise, a game ball is detected in the second start winning opening 27 during the first variable game, and the main CPU 30 a The special figure start hold storage number is set to “1”, and a random number is acquired and stored in association with the second special figure start hold storage number (time T13a). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

The big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the reading and the random number. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a decrements the second special figure start pending storage number by 1 to “0”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a outputs the input variation pattern designation command and the set high-reliability notice effect execution command without subtracting 1 from the first notice number. When the sub-CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs the variation pattern designation command and the high-reliability notice effect execution command, the sub-CPU 32a executes a symbol variation game that becomes a deviation based on the variation pattern and also executes the high-reliability notice effect.

Since the hit determination random number stored at this time coincides with the jackpot determination value based on the premise, the main CPU 30a affirmatively determines the jackpot determination, and outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for the jackpot presentation. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first special figure start reserved memory number to “0”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the first notice count to set the first notice count to “0”. At the same time, the overall CPU 31a outputs the input variation pattern designation command and the set high reliability notice effect execution command. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes a high-reliability notice effect based on the input change pattern designation command and high-reliability notice effect execution command, and a variable indicator so as to execute a symbol change game that is a big hit. The display content of H2 is controlled. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game. Thereafter, the big hit game is executed (time T16).

  Next, a description will be given based on FIG. In FIG. 17 (b), the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 27 during the improved winning rate, and the random number for winning determination at the time of detecting the winning does not coincide with the big hit notice determining value. The description will be made assuming that the reach determination random number acquired at the time of winning detection matches the reach advance notice determination value. Further, the description will be made assuming that the value of the primary distribution random number acquired at the time of detecting the winning is 160 (a value specifying the variation pattern table TC). Further, the general CPU 31a will be described as determining the execution of the notice effect when the second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command is input. Also, at the start of FIG. 17B, the second special figure start hold memory number is “3”, the second special figure start hold memory number becomes “4” upon winning detection, and thereafter the second start. A description will be given assuming that a game ball is not detected in the winning opening 27. Further, at the start of FIG. 17B, the first special figure start reserved memory number is “0”, and when the second special figure start reserved memory number becomes “1”, the first start winning opening In the following description, it is assumed that a winning game ball is detected at 25 and the first special figure start reserved memory number is “1”. In addition, after the first special figure start reserved memory number becomes “1”, it is assumed that no game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25.

  When the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 27 and the second special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, the main CPU 30a determines whether the acquired hit determination random number matches the big hit notice determination value It is determined whether or not (time T20). Since the determination result is negative based on the premise, the main CPU 30a next determines whether or not the acquired reach determination random number matches the reach notice determination value. Since this determination result is affirmative from the premise, the main CPU 30a next determines whether the acquired primary distribution random number can take a range of 150 to 199. Since this determination result is affirmative from the premise, the main CPU 30a notifies the general control board 31 that the second special figure start reserved memory number is “4”, and the second variable game normal reach notice A production instruction is output. When the general CPU 31a inputs the second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether to execute the notice effect. Based on the premise, in order to determine that the notice effect is to be executed, the overall CPU 31a sets the second special figure start hold memory number “4” designated by the input second variable game normal reach notice effect instruction command to the second notice. Set as number of times. Further, when outputting the execution command, the overall CPU 31a sets the RAM 31c to output the normal notice effect execution command.

  After that, the main CPU 30a, based on the premise, the second special figure start winning port hold memory number is “4” and the first special figure start hold memory number is “0”, so that the second variable game is executed. Is determined (time T21). Then, the main CPU 30a is related to the second special figure start reserved memory number and stored the earliest (the second special figure start reserved memory number at the time when the second special figure start reserved memory number “4” is stored). The hit determination random number and the reach determination random number (corresponding to “1”) are read, and the big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the random numbers. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second special figure start reserved memory number to “3”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the second notice count to set the second notice count to “3”, and also executes the input variation pattern designation command and the set normal notice effect. Output the command. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes the normal notice effect based on the input change pattern designation command and the normal notice effect execution command, and displays the display contents of the variable display H2 so as to execute the symbol change game that is out of place. To control. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

  When the symbol variation game is terminated, the main CPU 30a has the second special figure start winning port reserved memory number “3” and the first special figure start reserved memory number “0”. The game is determined to be executed (time T22). Then, the main CPU 30a is related to the second special figure start reserved memory number and stored the earliest (the second special figure start reserved memory number at the time when the second special figure start reserved memory number “4” is stored). The hit determination random number and the reach determination random number (corresponding to “2”) are read, and the big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the random numbers. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second special figure start reserved memory number to “2”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the second notice count to set the second notice count to “2”, and also executes the input fluctuation pattern designation command and the set normal notice effect. Output the command. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes the normal notice effect based on the input change pattern designation command and the normal notice effect execution command, and displays the display contents of the variable display H2 so as to execute the symbol change game that is out of place. To control. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

  Similarly, when the symbol variation game is ended, the main CPU 30a displays the second special figure start winning port reserved memory number “2” and the first special figure start reserved memory number “0”. Is determined to be executed (time T23). Then, the main CPU 30a is related to the second special figure start reserved memory number and stored the earliest (the second special figure start reserved memory number at the time when the second special figure start reserved memory number “4” is stored). The hit determination random number and the reach determination random number (corresponding to “3”) are read out, and the big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the random numbers. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second special figure start reserved memory number to “1”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the number of second notices to set the number of second notices to “1”, and also executes the input fluctuation pattern designation command and the set normal notice effect. Output the command. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 executes the normal notice effect based on the input change pattern designation command and the normal notice effect execution command, and displays the display contents of the variable display H2 so as to execute the symbol change game that is out of place. To control.

  Further, when the second special figure start reserved memory number becomes “1” from the premise, the game ball is detected to the first start winning opening 25 during the second variable game, and the main CPU 30a The special figure start hold storage number is set to “1”, and a random number is acquired and stored in association with the first special figure start hold storage number (time T23a). At that time, since the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a does not determine whether the notice effect can be executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

  When the symbol variation game is ended, the main CPU 30a has the second special figure start winning port reserved memory number “1” and the first special figure start reserved memory number “1”. Is determined to be executed (time T24). Then, the main CPU 30a relates the random number for reach determination and the random number for reach determination associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number (corresponding to the second special figure start reserved memory number "1") earliest. The big hit determination and the reach determination are performed based on the reading and the random number. From the premise, the main CPU 30a makes a negative determination on the jackpot determination, while making an affirmative determination on reach determination. Then, the main CPU 30a determines to refer to the variation pattern table TC based on the read primary distribution random number together with the reach determination random number, and determines the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect based on the variation pattern table TC. . At this time, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P8 including the reach effect SR1 in the effect content. The main CPU 30a outputs the determined variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P8. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a decrements the second special figure start pending storage number by 1 to “0”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since this determination result is negative, the overall CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the second notice count, sets the second notice count to “0”, and inputs the input variation pattern designation command and the set normal notice effect execution command. Output. When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs the change pattern designation command and the normal notice effect execution command, the sub CPU 32a executes the normal notice effect based on the change pattern and also executes the symbol change game that is out of the reach effect SR1. Thus, the display content of the variable display H2 is controlled. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

  When the symbol variation game is ended, the main CPU 30a has the second special figure start winning port reserved memory number “0” and the first special figure start reserved memory number “1”. Is determined to be executed (time T25). The main CPU 30a is related to the first special figure start reserved memory number and is stored earliest (the first special figure start reserved memory number "1" at the time when the first special figure start reserved memory number "1" is stored). ) Corresponding to “)” is read out, and jackpot determination and reach determination are performed based on the random number. Based on the premise, the main CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern for a loss effect in order to make a negative determination for the big hit determination and the reach determination. Further, when the main CPU 30a reads the random number, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first special figure start reserved memory number to “0”, and erases the read random number from the RAM 30c.

  When the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Since the determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a outputs the input variation pattern designation command. Since the first notice count and the second notice count are 0, the notice effect execution command is not output. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute a symbol variation game that is out of place based on the input variation pattern designation command. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command based on the variation pattern, and ends the symbol variation game.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the main CPU 30a stores the starting hold ball in the RAM 30c, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the stored hit determination random number matches a predetermined jackpot advance notice determination value. It is determined that the notice effect can be executed. At the same time, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number stored in the RAM 30c matches the predetermined reach advance notice determination value. It is determined that the notice effect can be executed. The jackpot notice determination value is set to be the same value as the jackpot determination value used for the jackpot determination, and the reach notice determination value for the reach is set to be the same value as the reach determination value used for the reach determination. Is set. For this reason, when a notice effect (continuous notice) is continuously executed over one or a plurality of symbol change games, the symbol change game in which the continuous notice ends (the hit determination value coincides with the jackpot notice determination value) In a game where the reach determination value and the reach notice determination value match), the reach effect is always executed. Thereby, when a continuous notice is executed, the player's expectation can be sufficiently improved.

  (2) At the same time, when executing the notice effect, the main CPU 30a decides whether or not the acquired hit determination random number matches the jackpot notice determination value equal to the jackpot determination value or the acquired reach determination It is configured to determine whether the random number matches the reach notice determination value having the same value as the reach determination value. In other words, in the symbol variation game in which the continuous notice ends, the reach effect is not forcibly executed. The symbol variation game in which the outlier reach effect is performed is pre-read, and when the game ball is detected, the reach reach is detected. When the symbol variation game in which the effect is to be performed is determined, the continuous notice is executed from before the symbol variation game. For this reason, it is not necessary to change the appearance rate of the reach effect that causes the symbol variation game to be lost, and there is no problem that the jackpot reliability for the reach effect is lowered. Accordingly, the player's expectation can be sufficiently improved.

  (3) In the first variable game executed when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the number of reach determination values used for reach determination is stored in the RAM 30c when the main CPU 30a performs reach determination. When the number of reserved first special figure start pending memories is large, the number is set to be small. On the other hand, when the number of first special figure start pending memories is small when performing reach determination, the number is set to be large (FIG. 11 (b)). reference). In this way, the larger the first special figure start reserved memory number, the smaller the reach determination value, and the less likely the reach effect is to be executed. The more there are, the higher the reliability of reach for hits. That is, the probability of reach determination is changed in accordance with the number of first special figure start reserved memory. On the other hand, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the reach determination value (value of 0 to 4 in the present embodiment) set to the same value regardless of the first special figure start reserved memory number, It was set as the advance notice determination value for reach when the entrance rate improvement state was not given. For this reason, despite the fact that the probability of reach determination is changed according to the number of first special figure start hold memory at the start of the symbol variation game, continuous notice is executed over a plurality of symbol variation games. In this case, the reach effect can be surely executed in the last symbol variation game without forcibly executing the reach effect. And it is also possible to prevent the reach determination probability set according to the first special figure start reserved memory number at the start of the symbol variation game from being changed.

  (4) The number of reach determination values varies depending on the number of start-pending balls, depending on whether or not the entry rate improvement state is given. For example, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the number of reach determination values is changed according to the first special figure start reserved memory number, but when the entrance rate improvement state is assigned, the first The number of reach determination values is not changed according to the special figure start hold storage number. For this reason, when the number of reach determination values changes according to the first special figure start reserved memory number (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given), the same value regardless of the first special figure start reserved memory number. The reach determination value (in the present embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 in this embodiment) is set as the reach advance notice determination value when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. On the other hand, when the number of reach determination values does not change (when the entrance rate improvement state is given), the entrance rate improvement state is assigned from the possible values of the reach determination value. Set the advance notice value for reach. Thereby, regardless of the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state, the reach effect can be executed in the symbol variation game in which the continuous notice ends, and the appearance rate of the reach effect is not changed.

  (5) When a game ball is detected in the first start winning opening 25 (or the second start winning opening 27), the main CPU 30a obtains a primary distribution random number (variation pattern) acquired when the winning of the game ball is detected. The table distribution random number) is stored in association with the first special figure start reserved memory number (or the second special figure start reserved memory number). Then, when the main CPU 30a executes the outlier reach effect, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern table for the outlier reach effect using the primary distribution random number. Further, when the main CPU 30a stores the start hold ball, the reach determination random number associated with the start hold ball when the hit determination random number associated with the start hold ball does not coincide with the big hit notice determination value. When the random number for use coincides with the reach notice determination value for reach, the value of the primary distribution random number associated with the start holding ball is a variation pattern composed of variation patterns P8 to P9 including the reach effects SR1 to SR2 in the effect contents. When the table TC is designated, it is determined that the normal notice effect (first notice effect) can be executed. On the other hand, when the main CPU 30a stores the start hold ball, the reach determination random number associated with the start hold ball is the time when the random number for hit determination associated with the start hold ball does not coincide with the jackpot notice determination value. When the random number for use coincides with the reach notice determination value for reach, the value of the primary distribution random number related to the start holding ball is a variation pattern composed of variation patterns P10 to P11 including the reach effects SR3 to SR4 in the contents of the effect. When the table TD is designated, it is determined that a highly reliable notice effect (second notice effect) can be executed. As a result, when the normal notice effect appears as the continuous notice, it can be determined that the reach effects SR1 to SR2 are executed or a big hit. In addition, when the high-reliability notice effect appears, it can be determined that the reach effects SR3 to SR4 are executed or a big hit. For this reason, it is possible to recognize in advance what kind of effect is executed in the symbol variation game in which the notice effect ends according to the effect content of the notice effect. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the contents of the notice effect, and to improve the interest in the notice effect.

  (6) If the main CPU 30a determines that the main CPU 30a can execute the notice effect, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the notice effect with a winning probability corresponding to the gaming state. For example, when the first variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command or the second variable game jackpot notice effect instruction command is input, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the notice effect is determined depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. Was changed. For this reason, when the normal probability variation suggestion mode or the special probability variation suggestion mode is set, whether or not the probability variation state is given can be predicted from the appearance frequency of the notice effect that is a big hit.

  (7) Further, the general CPU 31a is given the normal state when the advancement effect state or the probability variation state is given when the notice effect is finished in the symbol variation game where the outreach reach effect is performed. Execution of the notice effect is less likely to be determined than when it is. As a result, when the entrance rate improvement state in which the second variable game is likely to be executed is given, or when the probability change state that is likely to be a big hit is given, the appearance frequency of the notice effect that ends in a loss And the reliability of the notice effect can be improved.

  (8) Further, when the notice effect ends in the symbol variation game in which the outlier reach effect is performed, the general CPU 31a stores the first special figure start hold memory number or the second special figure start hold specified by the input control command. Execution of the notice effect is more easily determined when the number of memories (that is, the number of notices) is small than when the number is large. As a result, when the number of symbol variation games in which the notice effect is continuously executed is large, the appearance frequency of the notice effect that ends as an outage decreases, and the reliability of the notice effect can be improved. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to how many times the symbol effect game appears continuously in the game, and the interest is improved.

  (9) The overall CPU 31a is when the hit determination random number associated with the start holding ball stored in the RAM 30c does not coincide with the jackpot advance notice determination value during the entrance rate improvement state or the probability change state. When the reach determination random number associated with the start hold ball matches the reach notice determination value, the primary distribution random number associated with the start hold ball is determined by the high-reliability reach effects SR3 to SR4. When showing the fluctuation pattern table TD in which the fluctuation pattern for the outlier reach effect included in the effect content is shown, the execution of the notice effect is higher than when the change pattern table TC in which the reach effects SR1 to SR2 can be executed is shown. Determine with probability. As a result, when the high-reliability reach effects SR3 to SR4 are executed in the symbol variation game in which the continuous notice is ended during the entrance rate improvement state or the probability change state, the low-reliability reach effects SR1 to SR2 are Continuous notice is easier to execute than when it is executed. For this reason, when the continuous advance notice is executed during the entrance rate improvement state or the probability change state, since the big hit reliability is high, it is possible to improve the player's expectation and improve the interest of the game. .

  (10) When a game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 27, even if the game ball is detected at the first start winning opening 25 before that, the first variable game is suspended. In addition, the second variation game based on the game ball that has entered at the second start winning opening 27 is preferentially executed. In addition, when a big hit game is awarded, the opening time of the opening / closing blade 26 is lengthened, and the second start winning opening 27 is given a state in which a winning rate is easily detected so that the game ball is easily detected. And when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a does not determine whether or not to execute the notice effect when adding 1 to the first special figure start reserved memory number. Thereby, when the winning rate improvement state is given, the notice effect is not executed by detecting the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 25. For this reason, when the entry rate improvement state is given, the continuous notice is not finished until the second special figure start reserved memory number becomes “0” or the entry rate improvement state is not given, or the continuous notice Can be prevented from being interrupted (not a continuous notice). Therefore, a notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit can be continuously executed over a plurality of symbol variation games without a sense of incongruity.

  (11) After the big hit game is finished, there may be a case where an improved entrance rate is given. For this reason, when the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening after the game effect is determined to be performed at the first starting winning opening during the jackpot game, The continuous notice will not end or the continuous notice will be interrupted (not a continuous notice) until the special figure start reserved memory count becomes “0” or the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Therefore, in this embodiment, whether or not the notice effect is to be executed even when the main CPU 30a stores the first start holding ball (when adding 1 to the first special figure start holding memory number) during the big hit game. By not performing such determination, it is possible to prevent the continuous advance notice from being completed or interrupted (not provided as a continuous advance notice) until the launch of the game ball is stopped or the entrance rate improvement state is not given.

  (12) When a game ball is detected at the second start winning port 27, even if a game ball is detected at the first start winning port 25 before that, The first variable game based on the winning detection is put on hold, and the second variable game based on the game ball detected by winning at the second start winning port 27 is preferentially executed. When the general CPU 31a instructs the main CPU 30a to execute the notice effect when adding 1 to the first special figure start reserved memory number, the first special figure designated by the inputted notice effect instruction command is input. The number of start-pending memories (that is, the number of first start-pending balls stored in the RAM 30c) is set as the first notice count. The first notice count is decremented by 1 every time the first variable game is executed, and the general CPU 31a determines that the first notice count is 0 for each symbol variable game until the first notice count becomes zero. The notice effect is executed. That is, the notice effect is executed for each symbol variation game from the symbol variation game for which the execution of the notice effect has been decided until the first variation game corresponding to the number of first special figure start hold memories at that time ends. Let Similarly, when the main CPU 30a instructs that the notice effect can be executed when adding 1 to the second special figure start reserved memory number, the general CPU 31a designates the second feature specified by the inputted notice effect instruction command. The figure start hold memory number (that is, the number of second start hold balls stored in the RAM 30c) is set as the second notice number. The second notice number is subtracted by 1 every time the second variable game is executed, and the general CPU 31a determines that the second notice number becomes 0 for each symbol variable game until the second notice number becomes zero. The notice effect is executed. That is, the notice effect is executed for each symbol variation game from the symbol variation game for which the execution of the notice effect is determined until the second variation game corresponding to the number of the second special figure start reserved memory at that time ends. Let

  Therefore, after the winning determination random number acquired when the game ball is detected at the first starting winning opening 25 matches the jackpot determining value and the execution of the notice effect is decided, the second starting winning opening 27 is displayed. Even if the winning of the game ball is detected and the second variable game is preferentially executed, the first variable game of the same number of times as the first special figure start reserved memory number when the main CPU 30a determines is finished. Until then, the notice effect is executed for each symbol variation game. That is, even if the second variable game is interrupted and executed, the continuous notice is ended in the first variable game in which the big hit determination is performed with the random number for hit determination referred to when the main CPU 30a makes a positive determination. The first variable game is a big hit. Therefore, the symbol variation game that has been a target for suggesting the possibility of the big hit is not shifted, and the possibility of the big hit can be surely suggested.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol as 1st embodiment is attached | subjected to the structure similar to 1st embodiment, the detailed description and drawing are abbreviate | omitted or simplified.

  In the present embodiment, during the normal probability change suggestion mode or the special probability change suggestion mode, the overall CPU 31a executes the notice effect only in one symbol variation game without inputting various notice effect instruction commands. It is configured so that it can be determined. Specifically, the general CPU 31a is when the normal probability change suggestion mode or the special probability change suggestion mode is set and the first notice number and the second notice number are 0 (the notice effect is not executed). When the change pattern designation command is input, it is determined whether or not the notice effect is to be executed. At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines that the notice effect is to be executed with higher probability when the probability variation state is assigned than when the probability variation state is not imparted.

  If the determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a outputs the normal notice effect execution command together with the variation pattern designation command. The sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the symbol variation game and the normal notice effect based on the variation pattern designated by the inputted variation pattern designation command. .

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(13) During the normal probability change suggestion mode or the special probability change suggestion mode, the overall CPU 31a can decide to execute the notice effect only in one symbol variation game without inputting various notice effect instruction commands. . For this reason, in the normal probability variation suggestion mode or the special probability variation suggestion mode, if a notice effect that ends in one symbol variation game is executed, the player is informed that the probability variation state is given. It can be reminiscent and the game can be continued.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the distribution of the primary distribution random numbers to the variation pattern tables TB to TD may be made different depending on the presence / absence of the probability variation state or the presence / absence of the improved entrance rate. At that time, the threshold values in step S204 and step S304 also need to be changed according to the presence / absence of the probability variation state and the presence / absence of the improved entrance rate according to the primary distribution random number.

In the above embodiment, the variation pattern table TB includes the variation patterns P8 to P11 including the reach effects SR1 to SR4 in the contents of the effects, but they may not be included.
In the above embodiment, the reach determination value and the reach probability may not be changed according to the gaming state (the presence / absence of the probability variation state, the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state, the number of reserved memories, the type of the symbol variation game, etc.). .

  In the above embodiment, the reach determination value and the reach probability may be changed depending on the presence or absence of a probability variation state. Further, the selection probability of the variation pattern for the loss effect may be changed depending on the presence or absence of the probability variation state.

  In the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be a pachinko machine to which only 15R special probability variable big hit games and 15R special non-probable big hit games are given. Further, the number of rounds of the big hit game and the number of symbol variation games to which the improved entrance rate is given may be changed. For example, a 10-round jackpot game may be given, or after the big hit game, a state in which the entering rate is improved may be given until 50 symbol variation games are completed.

  In the above embodiment, if the jackpot notice determination value can take the same value as the jackpot determination value, the number of jackpot notice determination values and the number of jackpot determination values may not match. That is, the number of jackpot notice determination values may be small. For example, in the normal state, when the jackpot determination value is set to “5”, “47”, “397” as in the above embodiment, the jackpot notice determination value is set to be “5”. May be.
