Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of executing a suggestion effect that causes a player to guess a gaming state after the end of a winning game.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some pachinko machines that are a type of gaming machine have a probability variation function that shifts a lottery probability state of a big hit lottery from a low probability lottery state to a high probability lottery state after the end of the big hit game. If the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state (probability variation state), it is easy to win a big hit in the big hit lottery, which is advantageous to the player. Normally, if a player wins a big hit in the big hit lottery and obtains the big hit game, the player wants to be given a high probability lottery state as the gaming state after the big hit game ends. For this reason, when it turns out that it will not be in a high-probability lottery state after the big hit game, but will be in a low-probability lottery state, there is a possibility that the interest of the player is lowered.

  Therefore, conventionally, a pachinko gaming machine has been proposed that executes a suggestion effect that suggests to the player whether or not a high-probability lottery state has been given as the gaming state after the big hit game (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). In the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1, while concealing whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state or a low-probability lottery state, a production mode (intermediate mode, A plurality of suggestive effects including a high-accuracy mode and the like are provided, and the player is made to guess whether or not the player is in a high-probability lottery state by shifting to each effect mode. And in the pachinko machine of Patent Document 1, the transition is made when the transition condition is established between the performance modes such as the higher performance mode that is highly likely to be in the high probability lottery state and the lower performance mode that is less likely By doing so, the expectation to be in the high probability lottery state is enshrined.

JP 2007-135700 A

  By the way, in such a pachinko gaming machine, the main purpose is to make a player guess whether or not it is in a high probability lottery state. And for the purpose of making a player guess whether or not it is in a high-probability lottery state, in a pachinko machine, only the game nature that makes you guess whether or not it is in a high-probability lottery state only from the type of the transitioned production mode In addition, it is desired to further improve the interest of the game by inferring whether or not it is a high-probability lottery state depending on other factors.

  This invention was made paying attention to the problem which exists in such a prior art, and the objective is not to guess a lottery probability state only from the kind of suggestion effect, but to shift to a suggestion effect. By making it possible for the player to infer whether or not it is in a high-probability lottery state depending on the type of suggestion production that has been staying until now, it is possible to further entertain the player with the gameability that makes it possible to guess the lottery probability state It is to provide a gaming machine.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is a display device that displays a symbol variation game that is performed by varying a plurality of types of symbols, a winning lottery means that performs a winning lottery for winning or not, And when the winning lottery is won, a winning game is performed after the end of the symbol variation game, and the winning game is a round game that opens a winning means that allows a game ball to enter during the winning game. In the gaming machine constituted by the above, the winning game includes a probability-changing winning game in which the winning lottery probability state of the winning lottery is set to a high-probability lottery state after the winning of the winning game, and when the winning lottery is won, Hitting seed determining means for determining the winning seed, and when the winning seed determining means determines the probability variation winning game, the lottery probability state after the winning game is set to the high probability lottery state, and the winning seed determination There is a possibility that the lottery probability state setting means for setting the lottery probability state after the end of the winning game to the low probability lottery state when the means determines a game other than the probability variation per game, and the lottery probability state is a low probability state. Having a chance to win the winning lottery during a normal performance that suggests to the player that it is high, and having an expectation that the lottery probability state is the high-probability lottery state after the winning game ends. An effect execution control means for executing a suggestion effect that suggests to the player that the game can be performed; and a storage means for storing the type of the suggested effect that is executed when the effect execution control means causes the suggestion effect to be executed. The suggestion effect includes a plurality of types of suggestion effects with different expectations for the lottery probability state being a high-probability lottery state, and the effect execution control unit is configured to perform the winning lottery during the normal effect. In the event that the winning game is won, after the winning game ends, any one of the plurality of suggested effects is executed, and when the lottery probability state after the corresponding game ends is a high probability lottery state, It is easier to execute a suggestion effect with a high expectation that the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state than when the lottery probability state is a low-probability lottery state. When the predetermined end condition is satisfied, the normal effect is executed in place of the suggestive effect being executed, and the suggested effect is executed again during the normal effect from the suggestion effect. In the case where the resumption lottery for determining whether or not to perform the resumption lottery can be executed and the suggestion effect is executed according to the lottery result of the resumption lottery, the suggestion effect other than the suggestion effect stored in the storage means is executed. The gist is to make it run.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, in the execution of the restart lottery, the effect execution control means is configured such that, when the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state, the lottery probability The gist is that it is easier to derive a lottery result for executing the suggestion effect in the restart lottery than when the state is a low-probability lottery state.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, the production execution control means can execute the suggested production in response to establishment of a special condition different from the restart lottery. When the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state, the special condition is more easily established than when the lottery probability state is a low probability lottery state. One of the types of suggested effects is executed, and when the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state, the lottery probability state is higher in the probability lottery state than when the lottery probability state is a low probability lottery state. The gist is that it is easy to execute a suggestive effect with high expectation of being.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state during the suggestion stage. In this case, the gist of the present invention is that it is more difficult to establish a predetermined end condition for the suggestion effect being executed than when the lottery probability state is the low-probability lottery state.

  According to the present invention, it is determined whether or not the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state depending on the type of the suggestion effect that was staying before the transition to the suggestion effect, instead of inferring the lottery probability state only from the type of the suggestion effect. By making it possible for the player to make a guess, it is possible to further make the player enjoy the gameability that makes the lottery probability state guessed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”) which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is schematically shown. On the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body, a vertical rectangular inner frame 12 for setting various gaming components is provided. It is assembled to be openable and detachable. On the front side of the middle frame 12, an upper plate unit 15a having a front frame 14 having a glass frame and an upper ball tray 15 for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine in a transparent state is respectively provided. It is assembled so that it can be opened and closed in a horizontally open state. The front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13a of the game board 13 are provided with a decoration lamp 16 that is turned on (flashing) or turned off to perform a game effect (light emission effect) based on the light emission decoration. A speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect (sound effect) based on the sound output is disposed below the outer frame 11 (lower part of the pachinko gaming machine 10). A lower tray unit 18 a having 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, the game balls stored in the upper ball tray 15 are launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13. Note that the strength of the launching of the game ball launched toward the game area 13 a is set according to the operation amount of the launching device 19.

  On the front surface of the game board 13, a guide rail 20 that guides a game ball launched by the operation of the launching device 19 and forms a substantially circular game area 13 a that is the main body of the pachinko game is laid in a circular spiral shape. Yes. With this guide rail 20, a game ball guide path 21 extending from the lower left to the upper left of the game board 13 is formed on the game board 13, and a game area 13 a is formed inside the guide rail 20. . A firing rail (not shown) that is attached to the middle frame 12 and guides a game ball hit by the operation of the firing unit is disposed below the guide path 21. Further, the outside of the game area 13a that is the front surface of the game board 13 and outside the guide rail 20 is a non-game area 13b that is not directly involved in the pachinko game.

  A display frame body (center accessory) 23 with various display devices and various decorations is attached to the center (center) of the game area 13a of the game board 13. A set opening 23a that opens in a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from the front is formed in the approximate center of the display frame 23, and the display frame 23 has a liquid crystal display type image display portion GH in alignment with the set opening 23a. An effect display device H2 as a display device is attached. The effect display device H2 includes a symbol variation game executed by varying a plurality of types of symbols, and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are displayed as images. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device H2, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device H2 is performed using a decorative symbol (effect symbol) that serves as an effect symbol for diversifying display effects.

  A special symbol display device H1 as a display device is disposed below the display frame 23. The special symbol display device H1 of the present embodiment is a 7-segment LED display device. On the special symbol display device H1, a symbol variation game that is performed by varying a plurality of types of symbols in one row is displayed in a flashing manner. Note that the symbol variation game of the special symbol display device H1 is performed using a special symbol serving as a notification symbol indicating the result of an internal lottery (big hit lottery) as to whether or not a big hit.

  In the special symbol display device H1 and the effect display device H2, the variation of the symbols (special symbol and decorative symbol) is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game. Specifically, with the start of the symbol change game, the special symbol display device H1 starts to change the special symbol, while the effect display device H2 starts to change the decorative symbol of each column. Then, on the special symbol display device H1 and the effect display device H2, on the basis of the lottery result of the big hit lottery, the big win symbol or the off symbol is simultaneously confirmed and stopped by the end of the symbol variation game. At this time, in the special symbol display device H1 and the effect display device H2, when the lottery result of the big hit lottery is a big hit, the big hit symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed on any display device, and the lottery result of the big hit lottery is off. In some cases, the symbols are displayed on both display devices in a fixed and stopped manner. The jackpot symbol is displayed in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a big hit, and the outlier symbol is displayed in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is out. It is what is done.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device H1 selects one special symbol corresponding to the lottery results of the big hit lottery and the small lottery lottery from a plurality of types (in this embodiment, 102 types) of special symbols. The selected special symbols are individually displayed with a fixed stop when the symbol variation game ends. The 102 types of special symbols are 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and one type of small jackpot symbol (results of small hits display) that can recognize jackpots. ), 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 effect display device H2 (image display unit GH) has [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] for each column. , “8” and “9” are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the effect display device H2 is configured with a display area larger than the special symbol display device H1, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. . For this reason, the player can recognize a big hit or loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device H2. When the symbols of all columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device H2 are of the same type, the big hit can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot becomes a jackpot symbol combination (hit symbol) by a decorative symbol. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device H2 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [757] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier symbol) that is out of the decorative symbol. If a predetermined symbol combination ([112] [223] [334] [445] [556] [667] in this embodiment) is displayed among the symbol combinations out of place, the small hit game or the big hit is displayed. It can be recognized that any game is given. The symbol combination that can recognize this small hit game or big hit game may be given a probability variation state in which the winning probability (big win lottery probability state) of the big hit lottery (big hit determination) is changed from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state It is a symbol combination of probability change suggestion.

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

  The effect display device H2 displays a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device H1. More specifically, the symbol combination by the special symbol of the special symbol display device H1 corresponds to the symbol combination by the decorative symbol of the effect display device H2, and when the symbol variation game ends, the symbol combination by the special symbol and the symbol by the decorative symbol is combined. Correspondingly, a fixed stop is displayed. For example, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device H1, the big hit symbol combinations such as [222] and [444] are also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device H2. . Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device H1, the off symbol combination such as [151] or [345] is also displayed on the effect display device H2 in a fixed stop manner. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and a symbol combination with one decorative symbol is selected from among symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative symbols with respect to one special symbol. Yes.

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

  In FIG. 1, below the display frame 23, on the left side of the special symbol display device H1, a special symbol hold storage display device 24 for informing the player of the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored inside the machine. Is arranged. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball enters a start winning opening (upper start winning opening 26 and lower start winning opening 27) disposed below the display frame 23, the game that has entered the game The number of spheres is stored, and stored as a reserved storage number for special symbols inside the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35). The number of reserved symbols for special symbols indicates the number of symbol variable games that are on hold (waiting for symbol variable games). The reserved memory number for the special symbol is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening, and is decremented by 1 when the symbol variation game is started. Accordingly, when a game ball enters the starting winning opening during the symbol variation game, the number of reserved symbols for special symbols is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). Yes.

  The special symbol hold storage display device 24 includes four hold lamps including a first hold lamp 24a, a second hold lamp 24b, a third hold lamp 24c, and a fourth hold lamp 24d. The special symbol hold storage display device 24 is configured to notify the player of the number of symbol variation games that are on hold based on the number of lighting of the hold lamps. For example, when only the first hold lamp 24a is lit, it indicates that one symbol variation game is being held, and when all of the first to fourth hold lamps 24a to 24d are lit. Indicates that four symbol variation games are pending. If the number of reserved symbols for special symbols is “0 (zero)”, all of the first to fourth reservation lamps 24a to 24d are turned off.

  A light emitting normal symbol display device H3 is disposed below the display frame 23 and to the right of the special symbol display device H1. The normal symbol display device H3 of the present embodiment is a 7-segment LED display device. On the normal symbol display device H3, a normal symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of types of symbols is displayed in a flashing manner. In this embodiment, in the normal symbol variation game of the normal symbol display device H3, one row of normal symbols is derived. In the normal symbol variation game, an internal lottery (ordinary win) of whether or not the normal winning is performed separately from the above-mentioned big winning lottery determination (whether or not the lower start winning opening 27 is opened by opening the opening and closing blades 28). The lottery result of (lottery) is displayed. In the present embodiment, when the normal winning is determined by the normal winning lottery, the normal symbol consisting of the number [7] is displayed as the normal winning symbol in the normal symbol changing game, and the normal winning lottery is shifted. If it is determined, a normal symbol consisting of a symbol [-(bar)] is displayed as a normal symbol in the normal symbol variation game.

  Further, below the display frame 23 and to the right of the normal symbol display device H3, a normal symbol hold storage display device 25 for notifying the player of the number of reserved symbols for normal symbols stored inside the machine is arranged. Has been. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment stores the number of game balls that have entered the normal symbol operation gate 31 placed on the left side of the display frame 23, for the normal symbol Is stored in the apparatus (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35). The number of reserved memories for normal symbols indicates the number of normal symbol variation games that are on hold (waiting for normal symbol variation games). The number of reserved memories for the normal symbol is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 31 and is subtracted by 1 at the start of the normal symbol variation game. Therefore, when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 31 during the normal symbol variation game, the number of reserved memories for the normal symbol is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). It has become.

  The normal symbol hold storage display device 25 includes four hold lamps including a first hold lamp 25a, a second hold lamp 25b, a third hold lamp 25c, and a fourth hold lamp 25d. The normal symbol on-hold storage display device 25 is configured to notify the player of the number of normal symbol variation games on hold based on the number of on-hold lamps. For example, when only the first hold lamp 25a is lit, it indicates that one normal symbol variation game is being held, and all of the first to fourth hold lamps 25a to 25d are lit. Indicates that four regular symbol variation games are pending. When the number of reserved symbols for normal symbols is “0 (zero)”, all of the first to fourth reservation lamps 25a to 25d are turned off.

  Further, in the game area 13a below the display frame body 23, as an entry detection means having an upper start winning opening 26 as an entry detection means having an entrance 26a for a game ball and an entrance 27a for a game ball. The lower start winning ports 27 are arranged in the vertical direction. The upper start winning opening 26 is configured such that the entrance 26a is always open so as to allow the entrance of game balls at all times. On the other hand, the lower start winning opening 27 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 28 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown). The entrance 27a is opened to allow entry of a sphere. In other words, the lower start winning opening 27 is configured such that it is impossible to enter a game ball unless the opening / closing blade 28 opens to open the entrance 27a.

  In each of the depths of the upper start winning opening 26 and the lower start winning opening 27, start opening sensors SW1 and SW2 (shown in FIG. 3) are disposed as the entrance detecting means for detecting the entered game ball. The upper start winning opening 26 and the lower start winning opening 27 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of winning balls by detecting a game ball that has entered. When the opening and closing blades 28 are opened, the lower start winning opening 27 is made in a state where the entrance is expanded and the game balls are easy to enter, whereas when the opening and closing blades 28 are closed, the entrance balls are not expanded and It is difficult to enter the ball.

  Also, in the game area 13a below the lower start winning opening 27, a large winning opening (special electric motor) as a winning means provided with a large winning opening door 29 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) not shown. 30) is provided. When the big hit game or the small hit game is awarded, the big winning opening 30 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 29 and the game ball is allowed to enter, so that the player has a lot of winning balls. You can get a chance to win. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by the internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game. In addition, this small hit game is given when a small hit is determined by an internal lottery and the small hit symbol (small hit display result) is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game.

  A normal symbol operating gate 31 is disposed in the game area 13a on the left side of the display frame 23. Behind the normal symbol operation gate 31 is provided a gate sensor SW3 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operation gate 31. The normal symbol operation gate 31 can give the start condition of the normal symbol variation game when the game ball passes.

  Further, in the lowermost part of the game area 13a of the game board 13 (below the big prize opening 30), game balls that have been launched into the game area 13a and have not entered any of the prize openings are regarded as out balls. An out port 32 is formed for discharging to the outside of the machine. The game balls that have passed through the out port 32 are discharged to an out ball tank (not shown) disposed in the installation facility (game island) of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability changing function is a function for giving a probability changing state in which the lottery probability state (winning probability state) of the big hit lottery changes from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state after the big hit game ends. The probability variation state is given until the next big hit is generated. When the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the lottery is changed to a high probability lottery state, and it is easy for the jackpot to be generated. While playing games.

  In this embodiment, the jackpot that gives the probability variation state after the big hit game is the probability variation big hit (probability variation), and the jackpot state is not given after the big hit game ends (the non-probability variation state is given). Win). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, among the 100 types of special symbol jackpot designs, 75 types of special symbols are set as special symbols (specific symbols) that are probable big hits, and 25 types of special symbols are provided. It is set to a special symbol (non-specific symbol) that becomes a non-probable big hit.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a function of shortening the variation time (hereinafter, referred to as “variable shortening”). The variable speed function shortens the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, and the lottery probability state (winning probability per normal) of the normal symbol variation game based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 31 is higher than the low probability lottery state. This is a function that gives a variable state (variable state) changing to a lottery state as a privilege. The open / close blades 28 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened / closed in different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game, depending on whether the variable state is given or not. It is like that. That is, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is not given, the first and second opening times (for example, 300 ms) after the opening and closing blades 28 are opened for the first number of times (for example, one time). ) It keeps open until it passes. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is given, the number of times the opening and closing blades 28 are opened increases (for example, three times) to a second number greater than the first number, The opening state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1400 ms) longer than the first opening time elapses after the opening in one opening. In other words, the open / close blade 28 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the variable state is not applied. During the variable speed state, the opening / closing blade 28 operates favorably for the player, and the rate of entry of game balls into the lower start winning opening 27 per unit time is improved. Become. The variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are played, or until a big hit occurs before the number of games is reached. That is, the variable state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. It should be noted that the number of times that the short / short state is given varies depending on the gaming state when winning the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, the variable state that increases the opening time per unit time of the opening and closing blades 28 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time increasing state. On the other hand, the non-changeable state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening and closing blades 28 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time non-increasing state.

Hereinafter, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one kind of big hit game is determined from the three types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. . Of the three types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, 100 types of special symbols are prepared as jackpot symbols, and the jackpot symbols of these 100 types of special symbols are divided into three types, symbol A, symbol B, and symbol C, as shown in FIG. It is classified. In the present embodiment, by classifying a plurality of types of special symbols for each of the symbols A to C, it is difficult for the player to recognize which of the symbols A to C the special symbol is classified. Further, in the symbol D shown in FIG. 2, one type of special symbol (small symbol) corresponding to the small hit is distributed.

  44 types of jackpot symbols belong to symbol A, 31 types of jackpot symbols belong to symbol B, and 25 types of jackpot symbols belong to symbol C. When special symbols are distributed in this way, the jackpot game based on symbol A is 44% (44/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on symbol B is 31% (31/100) of the entire jackpot, The jackpot game based on the symbol C is 25% (25/100) of the entire jackpot.

  In the big hit game based on the pattern A, the specified number of rounds is “16”, and the big prize opening 30 is opened “one time” during one round game, so that the big prize opening 30 is “16” during the big hit game. It is a big hit game that opens "time (16 rounds x 1)". Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is referred to as “16R probability variable jackpot game”. In the 16R probability variation big hit game, “10000 (ms)” is set as the opening effect time, “25000 (ms)” is set as the round game time of each round game, and “8000 (ms)” is set as the ending effect time. Yes. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 16R probability variable big hit game is set to “8 balls”. After the end of the 16R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability changed state (no limit (until the next big hit)) and the variable state are given until the end of the probability changed state. It is like that. In FIG. 2, the case where the variable state is given until the end of the probability change state is described as “no limit”.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbol C, the specified number of rounds is set to “16”, and the jackpot 30 is opened “one time” during one round game. It is a big hit game that opens "time (16 rounds x 1)". Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol C is referred to as “16R non-probable variable jackpot game”. In the 16R non-probable big hit game, “10000 (ms)” is set as the opening effect time, “25000 (ms)” is set as the round game time of each round game, and “8000 (ms)” is set as the ending effect time. ing. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 16R non-probability big hit game is set to “8 balls”. Then, after the 16R non-probability change big hit game is over, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big win lottery, the non-probability change state (normal state) and the change state (100 times) are given. In the following description, the “16R probability variable jackpot game” and the “16R non-probability variable jackpot game” may be collectively referred to as “16R system jackpot game”.

  In the present embodiment, after the jackpot game based on the symbols A and C is finished, the variable state is awarded for at least 100 symbol variation games regardless of whether or not the probability change jackpot. .

  Also, in the big hit game based on the design B, the specified number of rounds is “2”, and the big prize opening 30 is opened “one time” during one round game. It is a big hit game that opens “2 times (2 rounds × 1 time)”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol B is referred to as “2R probability variable jackpot game”. In the 2R probability variation big hit game, “4 (ms)” is set as the opening effect time, “500 (ms)” is set as the round game time of each round game, and “7000 (ms)” is set as the ending effect time. Yes. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 2R probability variable big hit game is set to “8 balls”. Further, “500 (ms)” that is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time.

  After the 2R-probability big hit game is over, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big win lottery, the probable change state (no limit (until next big hit)) and the variable state are given until the end of the probable change state. In some cases, only the probability variation state (no limit (until next big hit)) is given.

  In the small hit game based on the design D, the specified number of rounds is “one time”, and the big prize opening 30 is opened “twice” during one round game. “2 times (1 round × 2 times)” is opened. In the small hit game, “4 (ms)” is set as the opening effect time, and “500 (ms)” is set as the opening time of the first winning opening 30 and the second opening time in the round game. “7000 (ms)” is set as the ending effect time. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the small hit game is set to “8 balls”.

  In the small hit game, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probable state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is changed. If it is in the state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the variable state. In addition, in the small win game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the non-probable change state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is In the non-variable state, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the non-variable state.

  In the present embodiment, the time until the next symbol variation game starts after the 2R probability variation big hit game is started after the stop of the variation of the symbol variation game that gives the 2R probability variation big hit game, and the variation stop of the symbol variation game that gives the small hit game. The time until the next symbol variation game starts from the small hit game is set to the same time. The 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are performed by opening the big winning opening 30 in the same opening / closing operation mode. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game cannot be discriminated by the player from the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 30. That is, the player cannot discriminate whether the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game has been awarded from the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening 30 or the time.

  In the present embodiment, the 2R probability variable jackpot game and the 16R system jackpot game are different in the upper limit number of round games (16 times and two times) constituting the jackpot game, and once due to the length of one round game time. There may be a difference in the number of winning balls that the player can acquire in the big hit game. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the 16R system big hit game is a big hit game that can obtain a larger number of prize balls than the 2R probability variable big hit game.

  The prize ball is a game ball given as a prize to the player for one ball entering the big prize opening 30. The small number of winning balls obtained in comparison with the 16R big hit game described above is a small amount when the total number of winning balls obtained before the end of the big hit game is compared. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, “14 balls” of game balls are set to be paid out as a prize ball with respect to one ball entering the grand prize opening 30. If the upper limit number of balls is set to “8 balls” and “8 balls” game balls enter the big prize opening 30, “112 balls” game balls must be paid out to the player as prize balls. become.

  It should be noted that “Low accuracy + No change”, “Low accuracy + No change”, “High accuracy + No change”, “High accuracy + No change” shown in the “Status at the time of winning” in FIG. The four states indicate the following states, respectively. “Low accuracy + no change” indicates a non-probability change state and a non-change change state. “Low probability + variable” indicates a non-probable variable state and a variable state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the “low probability + variable” state is irrespective of the state at the time of winning. Created by winning a 16R non-probable big hit game. “High accuracy + no change” indicates a state of probability change and a non-change state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + no change” is “low accuracy + no change”. It is created by winning the 2R probable big hit game in the state of "." In addition, “highly accurate + variable” indicates a probable state and a variable state, and in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the “highly accurate + variable” state is won for a 16R probability variable big hit game. Produced by doing. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + variation” is the state of “low accuracy + variation”, “high accuracy + variation”, or “high accuracy + variation”. It is also created by winning the 2R probable big hit game in the “None” state.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 35 as a main control device for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 35 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 and performs arithmetic processing on control signals (control commands) as various control commands for controlling the game according to the processing results. The control signal (control command) is output. Further, a sub-integrated control board 36, a display control board 37, and an audio / lamp control board 38 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The sub general control board 36, the display control board 37, and the sound / lamp control board 38 serve as a sub control device.

  The sub integrated control board 36 controls the display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38 in an integrated manner based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 35. The display control board 37 controls the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device H2 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36. . Further, the sound / lamp control board 38 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36, and the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting timings) of the various lamps (decorative lamps 16). And the sound output mode (timing of sound output, etc.) of the speaker 17 is controlled.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the display control board 37 will be described.
On the main control board 35, a main control CPU 35a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 35b for storing a main control program of the main control CPU 35a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A main control RAM 35c is provided. A main control ROM 35b and a main control RAM 35c are connected to the main control CPU 35a.

  In addition, the main control CPU 35a includes a start port sensor SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize port 26, a start port sensor SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize port 27, and a normal A gate sensor SW3 that detects a game ball that has passed through the symbol operating gate 31 is connected. Further, a special symbol display device H1, a normal symbol display device H3, a special symbol hold storage display device 24, and a normal symbol hold storage display device 25 are connected to the main control CPU 35a. The main control CPU 35a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 35c before the update. The value is rewritten, and random number update processing (random number generation processing) is executed. Further, the main control CPU 35a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main control CPU 35a stores (sets) various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control ROM 35b. In addition to the main control program, a plurality of types of variation patterns (effect patterns) are stored in the main control ROM 35b. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, from the time when the symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is confirmed and stopped (the symbol variation game ends). A pattern serving as a base for a light emission effect and a sound effect) is shown. In the variation pattern, a variation time from the start to the end of the symbol variation game is determined for each variation pattern. Further, the variation patterns are classified for each effect content including a hit effect (for a big hit effect or a small hit effect), an outlier reach effect, and an outlier effect (normal variation). The winning effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol after the reach effect. The outlier effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so that the final symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state without going through the reach effect.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the variation pattern is a win pattern lottery selected when the winning of the big hit lottery is determined and the 16R system big hit game is determined, and the variation time is longer than the variation pattern P1. There is a fluctuation pattern P2 for a hit effect to be shortened. Further, the variation pattern includes a variation pattern P3 for winning effect that is selected when the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery is won and the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game is determined to be given. In addition, the variation pattern is a variation pattern P4 for an off-reach reach effect, which is substantially the same as the variation pattern P1 in the case of a loss that is not won in the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery, and the effect time varies. There is a variation pattern P5 for the outlier reach effect that is substantially the same as the pattern P2. Further, the variation pattern is selected when neither the big win lottery nor the small hit lottery is won, and there is a variation pattern P6 for off-stage production that makes the production time shorter than the variation patterns P1 to P5. FIG. 4 shows a part of the variation pattern stored in the main control ROM 35b in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment.

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P6 will be described.
When the symbol variation game is played based on the variation patterns P1 and P2 for the winning effect, the symbol varying game finally reaches the symbol combination (decorative symbol) for the big hit through the reach effect on the effect display device H2. In the special symbol display device H1, the symbol variation game is expanded so that symbols A and C (special symbols), which are jackpot symbols, are displayed in a fixed stop state. In addition, when the symbol variation game is played based on the variation pattern P3 for the winning effect, the symbol variation game does not reach reach in the effect display device H2, and finally the symbol combination (decoration symbol) suggesting the probable change is confirmed and stopped. The special symbol display device H1 is developed so as to display the symbol B (special symbol) which is a big hit symbol or the symbol D (special symbol) which is a small hit symbol in the special symbol display device H1. The

  Further, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P4 and P5 for the outlier reach effect, the symbol variation game is finally subjected to the reach effect in the effect display device H2, and finally the symbol combination (decorative symbol) of the outlier (outlier reach). The special symbol display device H1 is developed so that the symbol change game is released and the special symbol is displayed in a fixed stop manner.

  In addition, when the symbol variation game is played based on the variation pattern P6 for the offending effect, the symbol variation game does not reach the reach effect on the effect display device H2, and finally the symbol combination (decoration symbol) of the outlier is confirmed and stopped. In addition, the special symbol display device H1 is developed so that the symbol variation game is removed and the symbol (special symbol) is displayed in a fixed stop state. Note that the “normal variation” based on the variation pattern P6 is to stop the variation according to a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column) after the start of the symbol variation game. This is an off-line effect in which symbols are derived for each column.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a reach effect is performed in the symbol variation game, the jackpot reliability is set to be higher as the effect time specified by the variation pattern is longer. That is, when the main control CPU 35a determines to give a 16R system big hit game among the big hit games, it becomes easier to determine a fluctuation pattern having a longer effect time than a fluctuation pattern having a short presentation time. 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 control CPU 35a can easily determine a variation pattern having a shorter production time than the variation pattern. Therefore, the main control CPU 35a can easily determine the variation pattern P1 having a long variation time by comparing the variation patterns P1 and P2 for winning effects in the case of determining the grant of the 16R system big hit game among the big hit games. . On the other hand, when determining the outlier reach effect, the main control CPU 35a makes it difficult to determine the variation pattern P4 having a long variation time when comparing the variation patterns P4 and P5 for the outlier reach effect.

  The fluctuation patterns P2 and P5 are patterns that can specify “normal reach” as the fluctuation contents. Normal reach derives the same type of symbols in a plurality of predetermined symbol sequences (in this embodiment, the first stop symbol sequence (left column) and the second stop symbol sequence (right column)) after the symbol variation game is started. This is an effect in which a reach is formed and the remaining symbol sequence (in this embodiment, the third stop symbol sequence (middle sequence)) is varied for a predetermined time to derive the symbol.

  The variation patterns P1 and P4 are patterns that can specify “super reach” as the variation content. Super Reach derives the same type of symbols in a plurality of predetermined symbol sequences (in this embodiment, the first stop symbol sequence (left column) and the second stop symbol sequence (right column)) after the start of the symbol variation game. Then, after forming the reach, it is an effect performed by developing the reach production via the normal reach. Super reach is an effect of causing a character or the like to appear and deriving the symbol to the final symbol stop line by the action of the character.

  In the present embodiment, super reach is associated with the variation patterns P1, P4, and normal reach is associated with the variation patterns P2, P5 whose variation time is shorter than the variation patterns P1, P4. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when an effect based on super reach appears in a symbol variation game, the expectation of jackpot is set higher than when an effect based on normal reach appears. .

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the content of the effect of the variation pattern P3 is configured to be the same mode as the off-state effect (normal variation) in which the variation time is different from that of the variation pattern P6. In the present embodiment, the effect contents of the variation pattern P3 have the same stop pattern stop pattern as the change pattern P6, while the effect contents developed after the stop of the decoration pattern are the development of the effect according to the scene. It is comprised so that. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, even if the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game are visually recognized, whether the game is a 2R probability variation big hit game or a small hit game at the time of execution of the symbol variation game by the loss effect. It is difficult to recognize whether it is present (difficult to distinguish), and it is also difficult to recognize (difficult to distinguish) whether or not it is an off-line effect until a symbol combination by a decorative symbol is derived in the symbol variation game. In this embodiment, even if the display content of the effect display device H2 is visually recognized in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3, either the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is given when the symbol combination by the ornament symbol is derived. Is not recognized (cannot be distinguished). Therefore, it cannot be determined whether the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is given from the effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3. It is not possible to recognize whether it has been granted or not.

  The main control ROM 35b stores a big hit determination value. The big hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the internal lottery (big hit judgment) of whether or not the big hit, from among the numerical values (all 1549 integers from 0 to 1548) that can be taken by the random number for the special symbol hit judgment It has been established. In addition, the big hit judgment value is a big hit judgment value for low probability used in the big hit lottery when the gaming state is non-probable change state (low probability lottery state), and a big hit when the gaming state is probable state (high probability lottery state) There are high-probability jackpot judgment values used in lottery, and the number of jackpot judgment values in the probability variation state (29 in this embodiment) is the number of jackpot judgment values in the non-probability variation state (three in this embodiment). ) Is set more than. The main control RAM 35c stores a hit determination random number used for determining the big hit.

  Further, the small hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 35b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery (small hit determination) for whether or not a small hit, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for hit determination for a special symbol (all 1549 integers from 0 to 1548). It is determined from among. In the present embodiment, the number of small hit determination values when the symbol variation game is played is set to eight. In addition, the random number for hit determination uses the random number used in the jackpot determination as it is. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is imparted and whether or not the variation state is imparted (the same value is determined). Further, the main control RAM 35c stores a small hit symbol distribution random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit.

  The main control RAM 35c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special figure is assigned a predetermined number (one in the present embodiment) of this special figure distribution random number, and the main control CPU 35a determines when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the acquired random number for special map distribution. The special control distribution random number is predetermined by the main control CPU 35a so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers from "0" to "99"). Each time period (every 2 ms) is incremented by one and updated. Then, the main control CPU 35a stores the updated value in the main control RAM 35c as a special figure distribution random number value, and rewrites the already stored special figure distribution random number value. The random number value is updated sequentially. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random numbers are acquired when a game ball is won at each start winning opening 26, 27.

  The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 35b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to execute a shift reach effect when determining a shift, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). It is determined from the (integer of the street). Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the reach determination value includes whether or not a probability variation state is imparted (winning probability imparting mode), whether or not a variation state is imparted, and The value is different depending on the number of reserved memories for special symbols, and the reach probability is different. The main control RAM 35c stores a reach determination random number used for reach determination. In this embodiment, the reach determination random number is acquired at the time of reach determination.

  The main control ROM 35b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in internal lottery (normal win lottery) to determine whether or not the normal hit, from among the numerical values (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250) that the normal hit determination random number can take. It has been established. Note that the number of normal hit judgment values varies depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and the number of normal hit judgment values when the variable state is given (250 in this embodiment). Is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values (15 in this embodiment) when the variable state is not given. The main control RAM 35c stores a normal hit determination random number used for the normal hit determination. In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the normal hit is acquired when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 31.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
On the sub-general control board 36, an overall control CPU 36a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 36b for storing an overall control program of the overall control CPU 36a, and writing and reading of necessary data An overall control RAM 36c is provided. The overall control CPU 36a is connected to the overall control ROM 36b and the overall control RAM 36c. The overall control CPU 36a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started).

  In addition to the overall control program, the overall control ROM 36b stores various tables to be referred to when determining various effects. Details of the various tables will be described later.

Next, the display control board 37 will be described.
The display control board 37 has a display control CPU 37a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 37b for storing a display control program of the display control CPU 37a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A display control RAM 37c is provided. An effect display device H2 is connected to the display control CPU 37a. Further, the display control CPU 37a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The display control ROM 37b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the display control board 37 will be described.
First, the main control board 35 will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 that executes the following various processes based on the main control program functions as a winning lottery means, a winning seed determining means, a lottery probability state setting means, and a reach determining means. .

  When the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 receives a game ball in the upper start winning port 26 or the lower start winning port 27 and inputs detection signals output from the start port sensors SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 35c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for special symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 to the number of reserved memories for special symbols (+1), and sets the number of reserved memories for special symbols. rewrite. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. For example, when the number of reserved memories for the special symbol after rewriting is “3”, the main control CPU 35a lights up three reserved lamps. When the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a obtains the value of the random number for hit determination and the value of the random number for special figure distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and holds the values for the special symbol hold. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the storage number. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the reserved memory count for the special symbol exceeding the upper limit, and Neither the special figure distribution random value is acquired.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the big hit stored in the main control ROM 35b. The determination value is compared, and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a big hit game. In the big hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the big hit determination value for the low probability with the value of the random number for the hit determination when the gaming state is an uncertain change state (the probability of winning is low), and the gaming state Is a probable change state (the probability of winning is high), the high probability jackpot determination value is compared with the value of the random number for determination. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 35a, which has determined the big hit, reads the value of the special symbol distribution random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c, and is a symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device H1 based on the value. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each type of jackpot game as described above, the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit acquires the random pattern distribution random number value from the main control RAM 35c, and changes the fluctuation pattern based on the type of the big hit game specified from the acquired value and the special symbol. Select and confirm.

  Specifically, when the special symbol is a big hit symbol corresponding to the 16R series big hit game, the main control CPU 35a selects one of the variation patterns including the change patterns P1 and P2 that can be selected when the 16R type big hit game is won. Select and determine one variation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 35a selects one variation pattern from variation patterns including variation patterns P3 that can be selected when the 2R probability variation big hit game is won when the special symbol is a big hit symbol corresponding to the 2R probability variation big hit, decide.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination does not match the value of the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the value of the random number for hit determination and the small value stored in the main control ROM 35b. The hit determination values are compared, and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a small hit game. If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the small hit. The main control CPU 35a which has determined the small hit determines the small hit symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol changing game performed by the special symbol display device H1. Further, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hit acquires the random value for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value, the variation pattern that can be selected when winning the small hit game. One variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns including P3 and determined.

  In the present embodiment, the same variation pattern is set as the variation pattern that can be selected when the 2R probability variable big hit game is won and when the small hit game is won. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to distinguish which game is given from the variation contents of the symbol variation game that is performed at the time of winning the 2R probability variable big hit game and at the time of winning the small hit game. There is no such thing.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a determines a deviation when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination does not match the small hit determination value). Then, the main control CPU 35a determines an off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the special symbol display device H1. In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the deviation acquires the random value for reach determination from the main control RAM 35c, compares the acquired value with the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b, and determines the difference. Reach determination is performed to determine whether or not to execute reach production.

  In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (reach probability) changes depending on the gaming state and the number of reserved memories. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the winning probability is “not probable” and the winning probability is “low probability” (non-variable state and low probability lottery state), the big hit determination and the small hit determination are executed. When the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol is 1 or 2 before (immediately before), the reach probability (Wa) (for example, 36/241) is set. Further, when the winning probability is “low” with “no change” and the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol is 3 before (or immediately before) the big hit determination and the small hit determination, the reach probability (Wb) ( For example, 18/241), and when the number of reserved storage is 4, the reach probability (Wc) (for example, 4/241) is set.

  In addition, if the winning probability is “high probability” with “no change” (high probability lottery state with no change), the number of reserved memories for the special symbol will be When it is 1, 2, the reach probability (Xa) is set (for example, 36/241 = reach probability (Wa)). Further, when the winning probability is “high” with “no change”, the reach probability (Xb) (when the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol is 3 before the execution of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (immediately before) For example, 20/241> reach probability (Wb)), and when the number of reserved memories is 4, the reach probability (Xc) (for example, 5/241> reach probability (Wc)).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the winning probability is “low probability” and the winning probability is “low probability and low probability lottery state” as shown in FIG. The reach probability (Y) (for example, 12/241) is used regardless of the number of reserved symbols for special symbols. In addition, when the winning probability is “high accuracy” with “variable”, the reach probability (Z) ( For example, 6/241 <reach probability (Y)).

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the non-variable short state, the number of reserved memories for special symbols is more probable when in the probabilistic state than in the non-probable variable state. The reach probability is set to be high (reach probability (Xa) = reach probability (Wa), reach probability (Xb)> reach probability (Wb), reach probability (Xc)> reach probability (Wc)). For this reason, in the case of the non-variable short state, the reach probability is configured to be higher in the probability variation state than in the non-probable state. Therefore, in the case of the non-variable short state, the normal fluctuation (fluctuation pattern P6) is greater in the non-probable variable state than in the probabilistic state under the condition of determining the outlier (negative in the big hit determination and small hit determination). The appearance rate (selection rate) of is increasing. On the other hand, in the case of the non-variable short state, the reach effect (variation patterns P4 and P5 (super-reach and normal reach)) is more likely in the case of the non-probability state than in the case of the non-probability state under the condition that the deviation is determined. The appearance rate (selection rate) of is increasing. Furthermore, in the case of the non-variable short state, the appearance of reach (variation patterns P4 and P5 (super reach and normal reach)) is more likely in the case of the non-probable state than in the non-probable state under the condition that the deviation is determined. As a result of the increase in the rate (selection rate), it is easy to generate a phenomenon in which the reach effect appears continuously.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the variable state, the number of reserved memories for special symbols is smaller in the non-probable state than in the probable state. Regardless, the reach probability is set high (reach probability (Y)> reach probability (Z)). For this reason, in the variable state, the reach probability is increased in the non-probable state than in the probabilistic state.

  When the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (execution of the outlier reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 35a acquires the random value for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value. In addition, one variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns including variation patterns P4 and P5 that can be selected at the time of winning the outlier reach effect. On the other hand, if the reach determination result is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main control CPU 35a acquires the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value, One variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns including the variation pattern P6 that can be selected at the time of winning the off-line effect and determined.

  The main control CPU 35a having determined the special symbol and the variation pattern generates a predetermined control command, and outputs the generated control command to the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) at a predetermined timing. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a generates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game, and outputs the variation pattern designation command first when the symbol variation game is started. . Further, the main control CPU 35a generates a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol that designates a special symbol, and outputs the stop symbol designation command next after outputting the variation pattern designation command. Then, the main control CPU 35a generates a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, and the symbol stop command is changed to the variation symbol. Output as time passes.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the special symbol display device H1 with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and confirms and stops the special symbol (big hit symbol or missing symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Display.

  When determining the big hit, the main control CPU 35a starts control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and the sub control board 36. A predetermined control command is output to the (overall control CPU 36a) at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control content executed by the main control CPU 35a will be described.

First, control when a 16R system big hit game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (10000 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time (maximum 25000 (ms)). Starts measurement and outputs an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 29 of the big prize opening 30 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main control CPU 35a 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 29 of the big prize opening 30 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main control CPU 35a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round (1000 ( ms)), a round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main control CPU 35a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main control CPU 35a controls the round games of the third to sixteenth rounds. Then, when the round game of the final round is completed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the final release interval time (1000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending time (8000 (ms)). . Then, the main control CPU 35a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the 16R probability variation big hit game is imparted, and the operation flag indicating that the variation state is imparted. Set “1” to. When the 16R non-probability change big hit game is given, the main control CPU 35a sets the probability change flag to “0”, sets the operation flag to “1”, and the remaining symbols to which the variable state is given. 100 times is set as the number of operations indicating the number of variable games.

  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 variable state is provided. When “0” is set, the variable state is not provided. It is shown that. Further, the number of operations 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). Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. Each flag is cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded.

Next, control when a 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time (500 (ms) at the maximum). Start measurement. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 29 is opened (first opening), and if the round game time (500 (ms)) has elapsed, the first round A closing signal is output to end the game.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures the interval time (1000 (ms)) 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 control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round to start the second round game, and the round game time (500 (ms) at the maximum) ) Measurement starts. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 29 is opened (second opening), and if the round game time (500 (ms)) has elapsed, the second round A closing signal is output to end the game.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the second round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the final release interval time (1000 (ms)) has elapsed after the end of the second round game, and measures the ending time (7000 (ms)). To start. Then, the main control CPU 35a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” in the probability variation flag when the 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded. The main control CPU 35a sets the operation flag to “0” when the 2R probability variable big hit game is given and the winning probability is low and the variable state is not given at the time of the big win. To do. Further, the main control CPU 35a gives a 2R probability variable big hit game, and if the winning probability is high at the time of big hit, or if the variable state is given, the operation flag is set to “1”. Set.

  Further, when determining the small hit, the main control CPU 35a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and performs a predetermined control on the sub overall control board 36 (the overall CPU 36a). The control command is output at a predetermined timing.

Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game and starts measuring the round game time. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a opens the grand prize opening door 29 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. The main control CPU 35a for starting the first round game outputs an opening signal as opening of the first big prize opening door 29. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 29 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time (500 (ms)) has elapsed, the first big winning prize opening. In order to end the opening of the door 29, a closing signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 29 (first closing). At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures the interval time (1000 (ms)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 29. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal as opening the second big prize opening door 29. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 29 is opened (second opening), and if the opening time (500 (ms)) has elapsed, the second big winning prize opening. In order to end the opening of the door 29, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after elapse of the final opening interval time (1000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending time (7000 (ms)). Then, the main control CPU 35a ends the small hit game after the ending time has elapsed. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning a small hit is maintained, the main control CPU 35a 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 manner, in the present embodiment, the opening mode of the big winning door 29 is the same in the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game. From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is not possible to distinguish whether the game is a 2R probability variation big hit game or a small hit game even if the open state of the big prize opening door 29 is visually confirmed. In addition, in the case of winning 2R probability variable big hit game or small hit game, it is determined which winning game is executed from the contents of the design variation game, the open state of the big winning door 29, the change state grant mode, etc. Can not. Therefore, in such a state, the player can be expected that the probability variation state may be given, and the game can be continued.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs a high probability designation command and a variable operation command when giving “high probability + variable” as the game state after the end of each big hit game, and outputs “low probability + variable”. When “short” is given, a low probability designation command and a variable operation command are output. Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs a high probability designation command and a variable non-operation command when giving “high probability + no change” as the game state after the end of each big hit game, When “no change” is given, a low probability designation command and a change non-operation command are output. On the other hand, in the case of a small hit game, since the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main control CPU 35a controls in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit even during the small hit game, and after the small hit game ends. Does not output a command to specify the game state. Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs a low probability command and a variable non-operation command when starting each big hit game, and is in a non-variable state during each big hit game. .

  Further, the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35, when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 31, and receives a detection signal output from the gate sensor SW3 that has detected the game ball, stores it in the main control RAM 35c. It is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation game being held is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). If the determination result of the general symbol hold determination is affirmative (the number of general symbol hold memory <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 (+1) to the number of reserved memory of the normal symbol variation game, and holds the normal symbol variation game. Rewrite the number. Further, the main control CPU 35a obtains the normal hit determination random number value from the main control RAM 35c when the common figure hold determination is affirmed, and the acquired normal hit determination random number value is changed to the normal symbol variation. It is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the number of stored games stored. The main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the number of the reserved figure storage exceeding the upper limit when the determination result of the usual figure hold determination is negative (the number of reserved memories = 4), and the value of the random number for normal hit determination Don't get.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a reads the normal hit determination random number value stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the normal symbol variation game, and the read normal hit determination random number value and The normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b is compared to determine whether or not the normal hit is normal. In the normal hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the normal probability determination value for low probability with the random number value for normal hit determination when the variable state is not given as the gaming state, and the variable state is determined as the gaming state. When “” is given, the normal hit determination value for high probability is compared with the value of the random number for normal hit determination.

  When the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for normal hit determination matches the normal hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the normal hit. The main control CPU 35a which has determined the normal hit determines the normal hit symbol (normal symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the normal symbol changing game performed by the normal symbol display device H3. On the other hand, if the determination result of the normal hit determination is negative (the value of the normal hit determination random number and the normal hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the normal deviation. The main control CPU 35a, which has determined the normal deviation, determines the normal deviation symbol (normal symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the normal game performed by the normal symbol display device H3.

  The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device H3 with the start of the normal symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts normal symbol variation by starting the normal symbol variation game, and displays the fixed symbol (ordinary winning symbol or normal deviation symbol) determined when a predetermined variation time has elapsed. The main control CPU 35a sets a different variation time as the variation time of the normal symbol variation game according to the gaming state at the start of the normal symbol variation game, and displays the normal symbol in a fixed stop display. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a sets “10000 (ms)” as the variation time when the variable state is not assigned, and sets the variable time as the variable time when the variable state is assigned. “1100 (ms)”, which is a shorter time than when the variable state is not assigned, is set. Thereby, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game performed when the variable state is given is shortened than the variation time of the symbol variation game performed in the non-variable state.

  Then, when determining the normal hit, the main control CPU 35a executes control related to the normal hit game after the normal symbol change game based on the determined normal symbol change pattern. The main control CPU 35a opens the opening and closing blades 28 three times when the variable symbol state is given when the normal symbol variation game is finished, and 1600 (ms) is released after opening each time. It controls to maintain an open state until it passes. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a opens the open / close blade 28 once when the normal symbol variation game is finished, and when the variable state is not given, and opens until 300 (ms) has elapsed since the release. Control to maintain the state.

  The main control CPU 35a controls to close the opening / closing blade 28 when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even before the specified time has elapsed since opening. To do. Similarly, even if the main control CPU 35a has not been opened a predetermined number of times, when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls enters, the main control CPU 35a performs control so that the opening / closing blades 28 are closed.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control board 36 based on the overall control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control board 36 that executes the following various processes based on the overall control program functions as the effect execution control means, and the overall control RAM 36c of the sub overall control board 36 stores the storage means. Function as.

  When the central control CPU 36a of the sub general control board 36 receives the change pattern designation command, it outputs the command to the display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38. When the overall control CPU 36a inputs a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol, the overall control CPU 36a determines a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the special symbol corresponding to the command. When the overall control CPU 36a inputs a symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 36a outputs the command to the display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38. Similarly, when the general control CPU 36a inputs an opening command, a round command, and an ending command, a presentation instruction command corresponding to the opening command, the round command, and the ending command is sent to the display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38, respectively. Output.

  Further, when the high control designation command or the variable speed operation command is input, the general control CPU 36a sets information (such as a flag) indicating that the probability change state or the variable state is given to the general control RAM 36c. Further, the overall control CPU 36a sets that the probability change state is given to the overall control RAM 36c when the high probability designation command is input, and sets the non-probability change state to be assigned when the low probability designation command is inputted. Set in RAM 36c. Further, the overall control CPU 36a sets that the variable state is given when the variable operation command is input to the general control RAM 36c, and when the variable non-operation command is input, the non-variable state is assigned. This is set in the overall control RAM 36c. Then, the overall control CPU 36a stores and maintains the current setting contents in the overall control RAM 36c until a high probability designation command, a low probability designation command, a variable speed operation command, and a variable speed non-operation command are input. Then, the overall control CPU 36a grasps whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in the probable change state or in the change state based on the setting contents of the overall control RAM 36c. When the general control CPU 36a inputs these commands of the high probability designation command, the low probability designation command, the variable speed operation command, and the variable speed non-operation command, the respective commands are displayed on the display control board 37 and the voice / lamp control board 38. Respectively.

  Further, when the overall control CPU 36a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol stop symbol designation command, the final stop designated by the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol stop symbol designation command. Based on the symbol (special symbol), as shown in FIG. 4, the symbol combination (liquid crystal symbol) by the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device H2 is determined.

  More specifically, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol A (a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 16R probability variation jackpot game), the overall control CPU 36a uses a specific symbol combination ([111], [333], [555], [777], or [999]) is determined. Further, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol C (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 16R non-probable big hit game), the overall control CPU 36a uses a symbol symbol combination ([222], [[ 444], [666], or [888]) is determined.

  In the present embodiment, a specific symbol combination determined only when the designated final stop symbol is symbol A (16R probability variable big hit game) is given a 16R probability variable big hit game, and after the big hit game ends, It becomes a jackpot symbol combination that allows the player to recognize the notification content that is given “+ Variable (no limit)”. In the present embodiment, the symbol combination of the chance determined when the designated final stop symbol is symbol C (16R non-probability variable big hit game) is given a 16R non-probable big hit game and after the big hit game ends. This is a jackpot symbol combination that allows the player to recognize the notification content that is given “low probability + variable (100 times)”.

  Further, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol B (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 2R probability variable big hit game), the overall control CPU 36a uses a symbol combination ([112], [ 223], [334], [445], [556], [667], [778], [889], or [991]). In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol D (small hit symbol corresponding to the small hit game), the overall control CPU 36a, as in the case of 2R probability variable big hit game, uses the symbol combination indicating the probability change. decide.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the case of 2R probability variation big hit game or small hit game, only the symbol combination suggested by probability variation can be determined. For this reason, in the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game mode is set to the same mode. From the display contents of the display device H2, it is impossible for the player to recognize whether the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is given.

  Further, the overall control CPU 36a determines a combination of symbols for the detachment reach when the designated final stop symbol is a detachment symbol and a variation pattern for the detachment reach effect is designated. Further, the overall control CPU 36a determines a combination of out-of-designs when the designated final stop design is an out-of-design, and a variation pattern for out-of-production is designated.

Then, the overall control CPU 36a outputs to the display control board 37 a stop design designation command for a design that designates the determined design of each column.
In addition, when the jackpot game is awarded, the overall control CPU 36a determines an effect pattern for specifying the specific effect contents of the jackpot game, based on the combination of the designated final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol based on the determined decoration symbol. The production pattern is output.

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 36a is assigned the 16R probability variable big hit game when the designated final stop symbol is the symbol A and the symbol combination of the big symbol by the decorative symbol determined is a specific symbol combination. Then, an effect pattern in which the game effect indicating that the probability variation state is given is set as the effect content of the big hit game is output. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is the symbol C and the jackpot symbol combination based on the determined ornament symbol is a chance symbol combination, the overall control CPU 36a indicates “low probability + variable ( 100 times) ”is output as an effect pattern having the effect content of the big hit game as the game effect indicating that“ 100 times) ”is given.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a big hit symbol corresponding to the 2R probability variable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a has a probability variation state ("high accuracy + short variation (no limit)", "high accuracy + no variation"). ) Is output with a game effect that suggests that there is a possibility of being provided) as the content of the effect of the big hit game. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect pattern in which the game content having the same content as the 2R probability variable big hit game effect content is the effect content of the small hit game. . In the 2R probable big hit game that is in a variable state after the big hit game ends, an effect pattern in which a game effect indicating that “high accuracy + variable length (no limit)” is given is the effect content of the big hit game Is output.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a 2R probability variation big hit game or a small hit game is awarded, the player recognizes which win game has been given from the contents of the effects during these hit games. In addition, the player may be given a probability change state (“high accuracy + variable (no limit)”, “high accuracy + no change”) after each game. It has come to expect.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a lottery probability of the big hit lottery after the end of each big hit game and the small hit game, whether the lottery probability is a high probability lottery state (probability variation state), or a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state). ) Is provided with a plurality of (seven in this embodiment) presentation modes.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a probability change notification mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “probability change mode”) that suggests (notifies) the player that the game state is a probability change state. Can be executed by the effect display device H2 which is a mode execution means. In the effect change mode, the effect display device H2 displays the “probability change mode” based on the background image G1 for the probability change mode, as shown in the scene A1a of FIG. The probability variation mode is an effect mode that appears (executed) when the gaming state is “high probability + short variation (no limit)”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a chance mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “CH mode”) that suggests (notifies) the player that the gaming state is an uncertain change state is executed by the effect display device H2, which is a mode execution unit. It is configured to be possible. In the CH mode, the effect display device H2 displays the “CH mode” based on the CH mode background image G2 as shown in the scene A1b of FIG. Note that the CH mode is an effect mode that appears (executed) when the gaming state is “low probability + variable (100 times)”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a mode effect according to a low expectation level (hereinafter referred to as “low expectation”) that suggests (informs) the player that the game state can have an expectation that the game state is a probabilistic state. The degree display mode ”is configured to be executable by the effect display device H2, which is the mode execution means. Further, in the present embodiment, the mode execution means is a medium expectation mode effect (hereinafter, referred to as “medium expectation mode”) in which the expectation for the probability variation state is set higher than the low expectation mode. The effect display device H2 is configured to be executable. Further, in the present embodiment, a high expectation mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “high expectation mode”) in which the expectation for the probability variation state is set higher than both the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode. Is displayed on the effect display device H2 which is a mode execution means. Further, in the present embodiment, execution of each expectation mode (low expectation mode, medium expectation mode, and high expectation mode) that suggests to the player that he / she can have an expectation of being in a probabilistic state. The effect transition mode effect (hereinafter, referred to as “effect transition mode”) as an suggestion preparation effect for notifying the player of the above is executed by the effect display device H2, which is the mode execution means. In the present embodiment, in the effect display apparatus H2 in the low expectation degree mode, as shown in the scene A2c of FIG. 7, “low expectation degree” is displayed based on the background image G5 for the low expectation degree mode. Further, in the effect display device H2 in the medium expectation degree mode, as shown in the scene A2d of FIG. 7, “medium expectation degree” is displayed based on the background image G6 for the medium expectation degree mode. In the high expectation mode, the effect display device H2 displays “high expectation” based on the background image G7 for the high expectation mode as shown in the scene A2e of FIG. In the effect transition mode, the effect display device H2 displays an image of the “effect transition mode” based on the background image G4 for the effect transition mode, as shown in the scene A2b of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, each of the anticipation mode and the effect transition mode of the low expectation mode, the medium expectation mode, and the high expectation mode can have an expectation that the gaming state is a probabilistic state. This is a probability change suggestion mode for informing (notifying) the player or giving a notice. In addition, each expectation degree mode and production transition mode appear (execute) when the gaming state is “high probability + no change”, “low probability + no change”, and a non-change state. Thus, the production mode is such that both the probability variation state and the non-probability variation state exist.

  In addition, when it is not in any of the probability variation mode, the CH mode, each expectation degree mode, and the effect transition mode, the player is notified that there is a high possibility that the probability variation state is not executed mainly when the gaming state is not the probability variation state. The normal mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “normal mode”) as a normal effect is configured to be executable by the effect display device H2 that is the mode execution means. In the effect display device H2 in the normal mode, as shown in the scene A2a of FIG. 7, the “normal mode” is displayed based on the background image G3 for the normal mode. Note that the normal mode appears (executes) when the gaming state is “high probability + no change”, “low probability + no change”, and the non-change state. It is a production mode in which both the state and the uncertain change state are present. On the other hand, there is a case where it is determined that the normal mode is a game state of “low probability + no change” (normal mode shifting from the CH mode as will be described later). It will be suggested to the player. In this embodiment, it is also possible to define the normal mode as the probability change suggestion mode. In particular, the performance mode in the gaming state of “high probability + no change” is set in the game state of “low probability + no change”. It can also be defined as a probability change suggestion mode that is the same mode as the production mode. Moreover, in this embodiment, the normal mode which can suggest a player that it is a non-probability change state among the production modes which can be defined as a probability change suggestion mode is a non-probability change state among other probability change suggestion modes. The production mode has the highest possibility and the lowest possibility of being in a probabilistic state.

  In the present embodiment, in the effect display device H2, a background image displayed in association with the symbol variation game is displayed as an image, and the decorative symbols in each column are displayed as images so as to overlap the background image. The symbol variation game is executed by displaying the ornament symbols variably. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, various effect modes are executed based on the background image displayed on the effect display device H2, and the type of effect mode currently staying at the player is determined based on the type of background image. The user is informed of whether or not he / she can have an expectation for being in the state of probability change, or informed of the state of probability change. The background image in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is an image that can be configured excluding the symbols displayed in the symbol variation game, and is displayed in association with each decorative symbol that is variably displayed in the symbol variation game. It is different from the thing.

  Next, transition modes of various modes as the game progresses will be described with reference to FIG. The details of the control performed by the overall control CPU 36a during various rendering modes will be described later. In FIG. 7, the 16R probability variation big hit game is “16R probability variation”, the 16R non-probability variation big hit game is “16R non-probability variation”, and the 2R probability variation big hit game that becomes a variation state after the big hit game ends is “2R probability variation (variable)”. "The 2R probability change big hit game that is in the non-changeable state after the big hit game is finished" is indicated as "2R probability change (no change)", and the small hit game is indicated as "small hit". Further, in FIG. 7, the scene A1 is shown during the variable state, and the scene A2 is shown during the non-variable state. Further, in FIG. 7, the scene A1a indicates that the probability variation mode is staying in the scene A1, and the scene A1b indicates that the CH mode is staying. Further, in FIG. 7, in scene A2, staying in normal mode is scene A2a, staying in stage transition mode is scene A2b, staying in low expectation mode is scene A2c, staying in medium expectation mode is scene A2d, and high expectation mode The scene A2e indicates that the user is staying, and the scene A2f indicates that the user is staying in the reentry period during the normal mode.

  When the 16R probability variation big hit game is won, the game changes to the probability variation mode shown in the scene A1a (A1) regardless of which effect mode shown in the scenes A1 and A2. In addition, when the 16R non-probable big hit game is won, the CH mode shown in the scene A1b (A1) is shifted to any one of the effect modes shown in the scenes A1 and A2. In addition, during the non-variable state shown in the scene A2, when the 2R probability variable big hit game that becomes a variable state after the big hit game ends is won, that is, the game state at the time of winning is “high accuracy + no change”. At this time, the gaming state is “high probability + variable (with limit)”, so that the game changes to the probability variation mode shown in the scene A1a (A1). Note that the probability change mode and the CH mode triggered by the winning of the 16R series jackpot game are started (granted) with the end of the 16R series jackpot game. Further, the probability change mode triggered by the winning of the 2R probability variable big hit game is started (provided) with the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game. In this embodiment, the execution of the corresponding effect mode is instructed with the end of each winning game, and the next symbol variation game is started after the end of each winning game with the end of each winning game. Until that time, execution of the production mode is instructed.

  And, while staying in the probability variation mode shown in the scene A1a (A1), if the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is won, the game state at the time of winning (“high accuracy + short variation (no limit)”) Since it is maintained, the probability variation mode is continued. That is, the probability change mode continues until the next 16R non-probability big hit game is won.

  In addition, during the stay in the CH mode shown in the scene A1b (A1), if the 2R probability change big hit game is won, the game state after the win is “high probability + change short (no limit)”, so the scene A1a (A1 ) To shift to the probability variation mode shown in The probability change mode triggered by the winning of the 2R probability variable big hit game is started (provided) with the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game. In addition, if the small hit game is won while staying in the CH mode, the game state at the time of winning ("low probability + shortage (100 times)") is maintained, so the CH mode is continued. ing. Further, during the stay in the CH mode, the transition to the normal mode of the scene A2a (A2) is made when the provision of the variable state is terminated and the variable state is changed to the non-variable state. . It should be noted that the normal mode that shifts from the change state to the non-change state while staying in the CH mode is a normal mode in which it is determined that the state is the non-changeable state. Further, the normal mode triggered by the end of the variable state is started (given) after the end of the variable state, with the start of the next symbol variation game.

  When the re-entry condition is satisfied during the stay in the normal mode shown in the scene A2a (A2), each expectation mode (low expectation mode, medium expectation mode, and high) shown in the scenes A2c to A2e (A2) is satisfied. (Expectation mode). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the re-entry condition is satisfied when the re-entry lottery (resumption lottery) is won while staying in the normal mode, and the scene A2f (set after the transition from each expectation mode in the normal mode) The re-entry condition can be established during the re-entry period shown in A2). The normal mode during the re-entry period or the normal mode via the re-entry period is a normal mode as a probability change suggesting mode that suggests to the player that the player can have an expectation in the probability change state. In addition, each expectation mode that shifts from the normal mode when the re-entry condition is satisfied is started (given) together with the start of the symbol variation game that becomes the trigger when the re-entry condition is satisfied.

  In addition, while staying in the normal mode, when winning 2R probability variable big hit game or small hit game where the big hit game is not changed after the end of the big hit game, “no change” is maintained as the gaming state, so the scene A2b Transition to the effect transition mode shown in (A2) is made. In this embodiment, the 2R probability variable big hit game that is in the non-changeable state after the big hit game ends is when the game state at the time of winning is “low probability + no change”. The effect transition mode that shifts from the normal mode in response to the winning of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game is started (provided) with the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game.

  Further, during the stay in the normal mode, when the special transition condition (special condition) is established, the transition to the effect transition mode shown in the scene A2b (A2) is made. In the present embodiment, the special transition condition can be established when the special transition lottery is won while staying in the normal mode. The effect transition mode that shifts from the normal mode when the special transition condition is satisfied is started (provided) with the start of the symbol variation game that triggers the establishment of the special transition condition.

  In addition, while staying in the effect transition mode shown in the scene A2b (A2), when the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game that is not changed after the big hit game is won is won, the game state is “no change”. "Is maintained, so the production transition mode is continued.

  Further, during the stay in the effect transition mode, when the mode effect transition condition (effect transition condition) is satisfied, the mode transitions to any one of the expectation modes shown in the scenes A2c to A2e (A2). In this embodiment, while staying in the effect transition mode, a specific change pattern (in this embodiment, a change pattern P6 that specifies normal change, a change pattern P4 that specifies super reach, or a change pattern P1 for a hit effect) Under the condition that P2) is selected, the mode effect transition condition can be established. In addition, each expectation degree mode that shifts from the effect transition mode when the mode effect transition condition is satisfied is started (given) together with the start of the symbol variation game that becomes the trigger when the mode effect transition condition is satisfied. .

  In addition, while staying in each of the expectation modes shown in the scenes A2c to A2e (A2), when a 2R probability variable big hit game or a small hit game that is in an unchangeable state after the big hit game ends is won, Since “no change” is maintained, the transition to the effect transition mode shown in the scene A2b (A2) is made in the same manner as during the stay in the normal mode shown in the scene A2a (A2). In addition, the effect transition mode that shifts from each expectation mode triggered by the winning of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game starts (gives) with the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game. Yes.

  Further, during the stay in each expectation degree mode, when the end condition for each expectation degree mode is satisfied, the mode is shifted to the normal mode shown in the scene A2a (A2). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the end condition is satisfied when winning the mode end lottery while staying in each expectation mode, so that the end condition can be satisfied under conditions different from the winning of the big win or the small win It has become. Further, when shifting from each expectation degree mode to the normal mode, it is apparently the normal mode of the scene A2a (A2), and it internally shifts to the re-entry period shown in the scene A2f (A2). . Note that the normal mode that shifts from each expectation mode is started (given) with the start of the symbol variation game that triggers the completion of the end condition for each expectation mode.

Next, a process executed by the overall control CPU 36a while staying in each production mode will be described.
In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a stores information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the effect mode during the stay in the overall control RAM 36c, and can specify the type of the effect mode during the stay based on the information. ing. Further, the overall control CPU 36a performs overall control on information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the determined presentation mode after the end of each winning game or when determining the transition from the presentation mode during the stay to another presentation mode. This is stored in the RAM 36c. In addition, when the overall control CPU 36a determines the transition from the presentation mode during the stay to another production mode after the end of each winning game, an overall production command that can specify the type of the decided production mode is given at a predetermined timing. Is output to the control boards 37 and 38. Then, the overall control CPU 36a instructs to start the effect mode determined by outputting an effect command that can specify the type of the determined effect mode, and starts the effect mode. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect command to indicate the type of the background image, thereby providing a background pattern corresponding to the display control board 37 (display control CPU 37a). The display of the background image based on the effect display device H2 is instructed.

  In addition, the overall control CPU 36a generates, at a predetermined timing, an effect command that can individually specify the contents for instructing the execution of various effects and the contents of various determinations as a result of processing related to various effects during the control during each effect mode. It outputs to each control board 37,38. The overall control CPU 36a sets (stores) the content instructed by the command in the overall control RAM 36c each time when the production command is output, and the content instructed to the control boards 37 and 38. It is possible to read out and confirm (confirm) the contents of the effects of various game effects currently being executed by the effect display device H2 and the like from the overall control RAM 36c.

Next, the probability variation mode during the variation state shown in the scene A1 and the processing while staying in the CH mode will be described.
When the 16R probability variable big hit game is won during the variable state, the overall control CPU 36a decides to start (continue) the probability change mode at the end of the 16R probability variable big hit game, and instructs the start (continuation) of the probability change mode. To do. In addition, when the 16R non-probability variable big hit game is won during the variable state, the overall control CPU 36a decides to start (continue) the CH mode with the end of the 16R non-probable big hit game and start the CH mode ( Continuation).

  When the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of the probability variation mode, the overall control CPU 36a continues the probability variation mode until the 16R non-probability variation big hit game is won. In other words, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the continuation of the probability variation mode while staying in the probability variation mode, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning of the winning game, when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game ends.

  When the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of the CH mode, the overall control CPU 36a continues the CH mode until the end condition for the CH mode is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the end condition for the CH mode is the progress of the symbol variation game corresponding to 100 times determined in the variable state without winning the 16R system big hit game again after the end of the 16R uncertain big hit game. In other words, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the transition to the normal mode when shifting from the variable state to the non-variable state during the CH mode stay. Further, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the transition to the probability change mode while staying in the CH mode, at the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the 2R probability variable big hit game. In addition, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the continuation of the CH mode regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit game when the small hit game is ended while staying in the CH mode.

  Next, processing during stay in the normal mode (re-entry period), production transition mode, and each expectation mode (low expectation mode, medium expectation mode, high expectation mode) in the non-variable state shown in the scene A2 Will be described.

  When the 16R probability variation big hit game is won during the non-variable state, the overall control CPU 36a determines to start the probability variation mode when the 16R probability variation big hit game ends, and instructs the start of the probability variation mode. In addition, when the 16R non-probability variable big hit game is won during the non-variable state, the overall control CPU 36a decides to start the CH mode when the 16R non-probable big hit game ends, and instructs the start of the CH mode. . Further, when the 2R probability variable big hit game in which the overall control CPU 36a is in a variable state after the big hit game ends, that is, when the game state is “high probability + no change”, the 2R probability variable big hit game is ended. At the same time, it is determined to start the probability variation mode, and the start of the probability variation mode is instructed.

  Next, processing of the overall control CPU 36a in accordance with a simple flow of transition of the production mode during the non-variable state based on the mode transition mode shown in FIG. 7 will be described. Here, the flow on the premise that the 16R system big hit game during the non-changeable state or the 2R probability variable big hit game that becomes the changed state after the big hit game is not won will be described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when instructing the start of the normal mode that is not the re-entry period (scene A2f) shown in the scene A2a, until the transition to another production mode (in this case, the production transition mode) Continue normal mode. Note that the normal mode that is not the re-entry period is either a normal mode that shifts when the CH mode is changed to the non-changed state or a normal mode after the re-entry period ends. When the overall control CPU 36a wins the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game in which the big hit game is in the non-changeable state after the big hit game ends while staying in the normal mode (scene A2a), the transition is made at the end of these hit games. Decide to start the mode and instruct the start of the production transition mode. In addition, when the special transition condition is satisfied while staying in the normal mode (scene A2a), the overall control CPU 36a starts the effect transition mode together with the start of the symbol variation game executed when the special transition condition is satisfied. And instructing the start of the production transition mode. That is, in this embodiment, in addition to the case where the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game is passed, the special transition condition under the conditions different from those hit games without passing through the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game is set. Even if it is established, it is possible to shift to the production transition mode.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a executes a special transfer lottery to determine whether or not a special transfer condition is satisfied in response to the input of a change pattern designation command that indicates each change pattern. It is supposed to be. The overall control CPU 36a varies the establishment ratio of the special transition condition according to the gaming state, and in the case of the probability variation state (winning probability is “high probability”), the non-probability variation state (winning probability is “low probability”). The establishment rate is set higher than in the case of. Further, the overall control CPU 36a executes the special transition lottery only under the condition that the fluctuation pattern is the outlier effect without the reach effect with the change pattern P6 or the hit effect with the change patterns P1 and P2. It has become. When establishing the special transition condition, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect command for instructing the establishment of the special transition condition to each of the control boards 37 and 38.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, depending on the establishment of the special transition condition, the degree of expectation to the probability variation state is determined from the state of establishment, that is, the number of symbol variation games from the start of the normal mode to the establishment of the special transition condition. Suggested to the player. Further, in the present embodiment, depending on the transition of the effect transition mode accompanying the establishment of the special transition condition, the winning of the big hit (16R system big hit game) will be confirmed by the appearance of the reach effect. In the present embodiment, when the special transition condition is established, the effect display device H2 executes a display effect that allows the player to grasp the establishment of the special transition condition (for example, “special transition condition established” or the like is displayed as an image). To do).

  Subsequently, when the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of the effect transition mode shown in the scene A2b, the effect control mode is changed until the transition to another effect mode (in this case, one of the expectation modes). Let it continue. In addition, the overall control CPU 36a newly starts the effect transition mode internally when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game in which the big hit game is in the non-changeable state after the end of the big hit game is won. It has come to handle as a thing.

  In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) in the overall control RAM 36c mode history information (such as a flag) that indicates (understands) the type of effect mode that has been staying in the latest. . Then, when starting the effect transition mode, the overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) in the overall control RAM 36c mode history information (such as a flag) that indicates (understands) from which effect mode the effect transition mode is started. ). The overall control CPU 36a continuously stores and holds mode history information (such as a flag) while staying in each production mode. That is, when starting the effect transition mode via the normal mode, the overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) mode history information indicating that the user has stayed in the normal mode most recently. Further, the overall control CPU 36a continues without updating the content of the mode history information when winning the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game in which the big hit game is not changed after the big hit game ends while staying in the effect transition mode. To store (set). In addition, the transition to the effect transition mode may be made by winning a 2R probability variable big hit game or a small hit game in which the big hit game is not changed after the big hit game is finished. Stores (sets) mode history information indicating that the user has stayed in each expected degree mode most recently.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the normal mode (the normal mode in this case is not the re-entry period) is set as the initial stay effect mode when the power is turned on or when the power is restored, and the effect transition mode is set. When shifting to, it is configured to pass through the normal mode or each expectation degree mode. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when staying in the effect transition mode, the mode history information stores (sets) information indicating (obtains) either the normal mode or each expectation degree mode.

  When the mode effect transition condition is satisfied during the stay in the effect transition mode, the overall control CPU 36a determines the start of each expectation degree mode and instructs the start of the determined effect mode.

  The overall control CPU 36a can establish the mode effect transition condition after the execution of the symbol change game twice after starting the effect transition mode while staying in the effect transition mode. That is, whether or not the overall control CPU 36a establishes the mode effect transition condition with the start of the symbol variation game after the third (predetermined number of times) after starting the effect transition mode while staying in the effect transition mode. It comes to judge. The overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) information (such as the number of times) indicating the number of times (number of executions) of the executed symbol variation game after the start of the effect transition mode in the overall control RAM 36c. Yes. For example, each time the overall control CPU 36a executes the symbol variation game on the condition that the number of games is set to “twice” with the start of the effect transition mode and the start of another effect mode is not instructed. The number of games is grasped by subtracting and updating the number of times one by one. Then, the overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not the mode effect transition condition can be established depending on whether or not the number of games is “0 (zero)”.

  Further, the overall control CPU 36a can establish the mode effect transition condition in three types of establishment modes according to the situation in which the mode effect transition condition can be satisfied while staying in the effect transition mode.

  The overall control CPU 36a determines that the mode effect transition condition is satisfied as the first establishment mode, in which the change pattern P6 due to the normal variation is specified when the mode effect transition condition can be satisfied during the stay in the effect transition mode. That is, in the first establishment mode, the mode production transition condition is established when the off-line production due to the normal fluctuation appears in the production transition mode.

  The overall control CPU 36a indicates that the change pattern P4 due to super reach is specified and then the change pattern P6 due to the next normal change is specified when the mode effect change condition can be satisfied during the stay in the effect change mode. Assume that the mode effect transition condition is established as the second establishment mode. That is, in the second establishment mode, the mode effect transition condition is established when the outlier reach effect is designated by the next normal fluctuation after the designation of the outlier reach effect by the super reach while staying in the effect transition mode. In the present embodiment, regarding the second formation mode, when the outlier reach effect based on the fluctuation patterns P4 and P5 is continuously designated after the designation of the outlier reach effect by the super reach, the outage effect due to the normal fluctuation is designated. Until this is done, the establishment of the mode effect transition condition is postponed.

  The overall control CPU 36a sets the mode effect transition condition as a third condition that the variation patterns P1 and P2 for the hit effect are specified when the mode effect transition condition can be satisfied during the stay in the effect transition mode. Established. That is, in the third establishment mode, the mode effect transition condition is satisfied when the hit effect is specified based on the variation patterns P1 and P2 while staying in the effect transition mode.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not to establish the mode effect transition condition based on the progress of each symbol variation game after the third time after starting the effect transition mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a does not determine the duration of the effect transition mode in advance, but establishes the mode effect transition condition based on the progress of the symbol variation game while staying in the effect transition mode. It is determined by determining whether or not, and the duration of the effect transition mode is made random for each effect transition mode to be started.

  When the overall control CPU 36a does not determine the big hit or the small hit with the start of each symbol variation game after the third time after starting the effect transition mode with respect to the first and second formation modes, It is determined whether or not the mode effect transition condition is satisfied based on the determination result of the reach determination of the control CPU 35a. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the case of the non-variable state, the reach probability (the ratio that is positively determined in the reach determination) is set to be higher than that in the non-probable state when the probability variation state. . That is, in the non-probable change state, the fluctuation pattern P6 due to the normal change is easily determined, so the first establishment mode is more likely to arrive than in the probability change state. On the other hand, in the probability variation state, the reach probability is higher than that in the non-probability variation state, so that the variation pattern P4 due to super reach can be easily determined. However, in the probability variation state, the reach probability is higher than that in the non-probability variation state, so that the scene where the reach determination is continuously determined as an affirmative determination is also easier to arrive than in the non-probability variation state, and it is easier to foresee the arrival of the second establishment mode. Yes. Further, in the second establishment mode, the mode effect transition condition can be satisfied in the symbol variation game after the next time when the variation pattern P4 by super reach is determined. Therefore, the duration of the effect transition mode is set at least for one symbol variation game. Can be extended.

  In addition, while staying in the effect transition mode, it is possible that a reach effect (out of reach reach effect) appears in the symbol variation game for two times after the start of the effect transition mode, and appears when the reach effect appears. The required period until the third symbol variation game is started is longer than when not. For this reason, in the probability variation state, as a result of increasing the reach probability compared to the non-probability variation state, the reach effect (outlier reach effect) is more likely to appear in the symbol variation game for two times after the start of the effect transition mode. The required period until the symbol variation game is started can be lengthened, and further, the duration of the effect transition mode can be extended.

  Therefore, in the effect transition mode of the present embodiment, the expectation degree to the probability variation state as the effect transition mode is continued (the number of times the symbol variation game to be executed is increased or the staying period is longer). Is configured to enhance.

  When the overall control CPU 36a determines that the mode transition establishment condition is satisfied, the mode history information stored in the overall control RAM 36c and the gaming state (“high accuracy + no change”) are satisfied under the conditions of each establishment mode. Or “low accuracy + no change”), the mode transition lottery is executed according to the mode transition lottery table for each mode shown in FIGS. When the information indicating the normal mode is stored (recognized) in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a executes the mode shift lottery according to the shift lottery table for the previous normal mode shown in FIG. Further, when information indicating (obtaining) the low expectation mode is stored in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a performs the mode shift lottery according to the table for the previous low expectation mode transition illustrated in FIG. Execute. Further, when information indicating (obtaining) the medium expectation mode is stored in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a performs the mode transition lottery according to the table for the previous medium expectation mode shown in FIG. Execute. Further, when information indicating the high expectation mode is stored in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a executes the mode change lottery according to the table for the previous high expectation mode transition lottery shown in FIG.

First, the case where the mode history information indicates the normal mode will be described.
The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T1a shown in FIG. 8A when the gaming state is “high accuracy + no change” in the mode transition lottery based on the first and second formation modes. When the gaming state is “low probability + no change”, the transition lottery table T1b shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T1c shown in FIG. 8C regardless of the gaming state in the mode transition lottery based on the third establishment mode.

  For example, in the transition lottery table T1a shown in FIG. 8A, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (100 integers in this embodiment) are “low expectation mode”, “medium expectation mode”, “high expectation mode”. A predetermined number is assigned to each of the “expectedness mode”. In the transfer lottery table T1a, 10 random numbers are assigned to the “low expectation mode”, 30 random numbers are assigned to the “medium expectation mode”, and 60 random numbers are assigned to the “high expectation mode”. Therefore, in the transition lottery table T1a, the probability that the “low expectation mode” is selected is assigned to 10/100 (the transition rate is 10%), and the probability that the “medium expectation mode” is selected is 30/100 ( The migration rate is assigned to 30%), and the probability that the “high expectation mode” is selected is assigned to 60/100 (the migration rate is 60%).

  In this embodiment, in the transition lottery table for the previous normal mode, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the probability variation state (the gaming state is “high probability”). + No change ”), the probability of winning is set higher in the order of low expectation mode <medium expectation mode <high expectation mode, and the non-probability change state (the game state is“ low probability + no change ”). In this case, the winning probability is set higher in the order of high expectation mode <medium expectation mode = low expectation mode. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the level of expectation to the probability change state of each expectation mode is determined based on the transition lottery table for the previous normal mode, and when the effect transition mode from the normal mode is passed This is the degree of expectation for the probability variation state of each expectation degree mode. In the following explanation, the expectation to the probability variation state of each expectation mode when it is passed through the production transition mode from the normal mode may be indicated as “expectation to the reference probability variation state” of each expectation mode. is there.

  In the present embodiment, the normal mode is not only likely to be in a non-probable change state, but also won't shift to other performance modes unless winning various win games or special transition conditions are established, Since it is also an effect mode that shifts at the end of each mode and each expectation degree mode, it becomes an effect mode that makes it easy for frequent scenes to stay during the game and in various effect modes. Therefore, the player can experience the degree of expectation to the probable change state of each expectation mode when going through the effect transition mode from the normal mode in which the staying scene easily occurs in various effect modes during the game. Become.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is won while staying in the normal mode, and when the transition to the effect transition mode is established due to the establishment of the special transition condition, the probability change mode or the CH mode is entered. Unless it shifts, it finally shifts to one of each expectation degree modes. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is agreed that, when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is won while staying in the normal mode, the mode is shifted to each expectation mode after the winning game ends. Further, in the present embodiment, when the special transition condition is satisfied during the stay in the normal mode, it is an agreement with the transition to each expectation mode after the special transition condition is satisfied. For this reason, in the effect transition mode, since it can be shifted to any effect mode including each expectation degree mode, it becomes a notice mode for notifying the transition to any effect mode including each expectation degree mode.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the 2R probability change big hit game or the small hit game is won while staying in the normal mode, when the winning game is after the end of the winning game, the case is more than the case of the non-probable change state. It is easy to shift to the high expectation mode where the expectation to the standard probability variation state is high, and in the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode, the expectation to the standard probability variation state is high when the probability variation state is high. It becomes easy to shift to the expectation mode. In addition, in this embodiment, it is the same aspect also in the case of shifting when the special transition condition is met.

  Further, in the transition lottery table for the previous normal mode, as shown in FIG. 8C in the third establishment mode, in the symbol variation game in which the 16R series big hit game is won, the low expectation mode <the medium expectation The probability of selecting in the order of mode <high expectation mode is set high. For this reason, if you win a 16R series jackpot game while staying in the effect transition mode via the normal mode, it will be easier to generate a big hit phenomenon by shifting to the high expectation mode, so that you will stay in the effect transition mode. It is possible to let the player experience it as if it was in a probabilistic state. By configuring in this way, it is possible not only to make the player have expectation for the probability variation state while staying in the effect transition mode via the normal mode, but also to increase the expectation to the probability variation state that the player has. become.

Next, a case where the mode history information indicates each expectation degree mode (low expectation degree mode, medium expectation degree mode, and high expectation degree mode) will be described.
First, the case where the mode history information indicates the low expectation mode will be described.

  The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T2a shown in FIG. 9A when the gaming state is “high accuracy + no change” in the mode transition lottery based on the first and second formation modes. When the gaming state is “low probability + no change”, the transition lottery table T2b shown in FIG. 9B is referred to. The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T2c shown in FIG. 9C regardless of the gaming state in the mode transition lottery based on the third establishment mode.

  For example, in the transition lottery table T2a shown in FIG. 9A, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers) are set in the “medium expectation mode” and the “high expectation mode”, respectively. A predetermined number is assigned. In the transfer lottery table T2a, 30 random numbers are assigned to the “medium expectation mode”, 70 random numbers are assigned to the “high expectation mode”, and no random numbers are assigned to the “low expectation mode”. Therefore, in the transition lottery table T2a, the probability that the “medium expectation mode” is selected is assigned to 30/100 (the transition rate is 30%), and the probability that the “high expectation mode” is selected is 70/100 ( The transition rate is 70%), and the “low expectation mode” is not selected (the transition rate is 0%).

  In this embodiment, in the transition lottery table for the previous low expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 9A in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the probability variation state (the gaming state is “high probability + variation”). In the case of “no short”), the probability of selecting in the order of medium expectation mode <high expectation mode is set high, and the low expectation mode is not selected. Further, in the transition lottery table for the previous low expectation degree mode, as shown in FIG. 9B in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the non-probability change state (the game state is “low probability + no change”). ”, The probability of selecting in the order of high expectation mode <intermediate expectation mode is set high, and the low expectation mode is not selected. In the effect transition mode via the degree mode, the low expectation mode that is the origin of the passage based on the mode history information cannot be selected depending on the first and second establishment modes, and the expectation is low when the probability change state is present. It is easy to select a high expectation mode that has a high expectation for a standard probability variation state among medium expectation and high expectation modes other than the degree mode, and in the transition lottery table for the previous low expectation mode , The third establishment 9C, when the 16R system big hit game is won, the probability of selecting in the order of medium expectation mode = high expectation mode <low expectation mode is set high. In the present embodiment, in the effect transition mode via the low expectation mode, the low expectation mode that is the transit origin based on the mode history information is most easily selected depending on the third establishment mode.

Next, a case where the mode history information indicates the medium expectation degree mode will be described.
The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T3a shown in FIG. 10 (a) when the gaming state is “high accuracy + no change” in the mode transition lottery based on the first and second formation modes. When the gaming state is “low probability + no change”, the transition lottery table T3b shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T3c shown in FIG. 10C regardless of the gaming state in the mode transition lottery based on the third establishment mode.

  For example, in the transition lottery table T3a shown in FIG. 10A, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (in this embodiment, all 100 integers) are assigned to the “low expectation mode” and the “high expectation mode”, respectively. A predetermined number is assigned. In the transfer lottery table T3a, 30 random numbers are assigned to the “low expectation mode”, 70 random numbers are assigned to the “high expectation mode”, and no random numbers are assigned to the “medium expectation mode”. Therefore, in the transition lottery table T3a, the probability that the “low expectation mode” is selected is assigned to 30/100 (the transition rate is 30%), and the probability that the “high expectation mode” is selected is 70/100 ( The transition rate is 70%), and the “medium expectation mode” is not selected (the transition rate is 0%).

  In this embodiment, in the transition lottery table for the expectation mode during the previous time, as shown in FIG. 10A in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the probability variation state (the gaming state is “high probability + variation”). In the case of “no short”), the probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode <high expectation mode is set high, and the medium expectation mode is not selected. Further, in the transition lottery table for the expectation mode during the previous time, as shown in FIG. 10B in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the non-probability change state (the game state is “low probability + no change”). ”, The probability of selecting in the order of high expectation mode <low expectation mode is set high, and the medium expectation mode is not selected. In the effect transition mode via the degree mode, the medium expectation degree mode that is the origin of the passage based on the mode history information cannot be selected depending on the first and second establishment modes, and the medium expectation is obtained when the probability change state. It is easy to select a high expectation mode that has a high expectation for a certain probability variation state among low expectation and high expectation modes other than the predictive mode. The third establishment As shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the 16R big hit game is won, the probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode = high expectation mode <medium expectation mode is set high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the effect transition mode via the medium expectation degree mode, the medium expectation degree mode that is the route origin based on the mode history information is most easily selected depending on the third establishment mode.

Next, the case where the mode history information indicates the high expectation mode will be described.
The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T4a shown in FIG. 11 (a) when the gaming state is “high accuracy + no change” in the mode transition lottery based on the first and second formation modes. When the gaming state is “low probability + no change”, the transition lottery table T4b shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 36a refers to the transition lottery table T4c shown in FIG. 11C regardless of the gaming state in the mode transition lottery based on the third establishment mode.

  For example, in the transition lottery table T4a shown in FIG. 11 (a), numerical values that can be taken by random numbers (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers) are assigned to the “low expectation mode” and the “medium expectation mode”, respectively. A predetermined number is assigned. In the transfer lottery table T4a, 30 random numbers are assigned to the “low expectation mode”, 70 random numbers are assigned to the “medium expectation mode”, and no random numbers are assigned to the “high expectation mode”. Therefore, in the transition lottery table T4a, the probability that the “low expectation mode” is selected is assigned to 30/100 (the transition rate is 30%), and the probability that the “medium expectation mode” is selected is 70/100 ( The migration rate is distributed to 70%), and the “high expectation mode” is not selected (the migration rate is 0%).

  In the present embodiment, in the transition lottery table for the previous high expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 11A in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the probability variation state (the gaming state is “high probability + variation”). In the case of “no short”), the probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode <intermediate expectation mode is set high, and the high expectation mode is not selected. Further, in the transition lottery table for the previous high expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 11B in the first establishment mode and the second establishment mode, the non-probability change state (the game state is “low probability + no change”). ”, The probability of selecting the medium expectation mode <the order of the low expectation mode is set to be high, and the high expectation mode is not selected. In the effect transition mode via the degree mode, the high expectation degree mode that is the origin of the passage based on the mode history information cannot be selected depending on the first and second establishment modes, and the expectation is high when the probability change state is established. It is easy to select a medium expectation mode with a high expectation to the standard probability variation state among low expectation and medium expectation modes other than the degree mode, and the transition lottery table for the previous high expectation mode The third establishment As shown in FIG. 11C, when the 16R big hit game is won, the probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode = medium expectation mode <high expectation mode is set high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the effect transition mode via the high expectation degree mode, the high expectation degree mode that is the origin of transit by the mode history information is most easily selected depending on the third establishment mode.

  Then, when the transition destination is determined by the mode transition lottery, the overall control CPU 36a starts each expectation degree mode determined together with the start of the symbol variation game as a trigger when the mode effect transition condition is established.

  Subsequently, when the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of each expectation degree mode shown in the scenes A2c to A2e, each transition control mode until the transition to another production mode (in this case, the normal mode or the production transition mode) Continue expectation mode. Then, when the overall control CPU 36a wins the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game where the big hit game is in the non-changeable state after the end of the big hit game while staying in each expectation mode, the overall control CPU 36a switches to the effect transition mode after the end of the hit game. Decide to start, and instruct the start of the production transition mode. When the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of the effect transition mode from each expectation degree mode, the overall control CPU 36a includes information indicating (obtaining) each expectation degree mode that is the origin in the mode history information of the overall control RAM 36c. Set.

  Then, the overall control CPU 36a decides to start the normal mode of the reentry period shown in the scene A2f when the end condition for each expectation mode is satisfied while staying in each expectation mode. Instruct the start of the mode.

  The overall control CPU 36a can satisfy the end condition for each expectation degree mode after executing the symbol variation game 10 times after starting each expectation degree mode while staying in each expectation degree mode. That is, whether or not the overall control CPU 36a establishes the end condition for each expectation mode with the start of the 11th and subsequent symbol variation games after the start of each expectation mode during the stay in each expectation mode. It is to judge whether. Note that the overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) information (such as the number of times) indicating the number of times (execution number) of the executed symbol variation game in the overall control RAM 36c after the start of each expectation degree mode. ing. For example, each time the overall control CPU 36a executes the symbol variation game on the condition that the number of games is set to “10” with the start of each expectation mode, and the start of another production mode is not instructed. The number of games is grasped by subtracting and updating the number of games one by one. The overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not the end condition for each expectation degree mode can be satisfied depending on whether or not the number of games is “0 (zero)”.

  Then, the overall control CPU 36a uses each expectation degree when the change pattern P6 for specifying the normal change is designated with the start of the eleventh and subsequent symbol change games after starting each expectation degree mode. An end lottery for determining whether or not the end condition for the mode is satisfied is performed. The overall control CPU 36a determines the end of each expectation mode by establishing the end condition for each expectation mode and determines the transition to the normal mode (re-entry period) when winning is determined in the end lottery. . The overall control CPU 36a determines the continuation of each expectation mode as it is when the non-winning is determined in the end lottery.

  Further, the overall control CPU 36a executes the end lottery based on the end lottery table shown in FIG. In the end lottery table, the winning probabilities are determined based on whether or not the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability or low probability). In the end lottery table, when the gaming state is a probable change state, the probability of being “non-winning” is assigned to 9/10, and the probability of being “winning” is assigned to 1/10. In the end lottery table, when the gaming state is an uncertain change state, the probability of being “non-winning” is assigned to 4/5 (8/10), and the probability of being “winning” is 1/5 ( 2/10).

  As described above, the overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not to satisfy the end condition for each expectation degree mode based on the progress of each symbol variation game after the eleventh time after starting each expectation degree mode. It has become. For this reason, in this embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a does not determine the duration of each expectation mode, but determines the duration for each expectation mode based on the progress of the symbol variation game while staying in each expectation mode. It is determined by determining whether or not the end condition is satisfied, and the duration of each expectation degree mode is randomized for each expectation degree mode to be started.

  When the overall control CPU 36a does not determine the big hit or the small hit with the start of each of the 11th and subsequent symbol variation games after starting each expectation degree mode with respect to the end condition, the reach of the main control CPU 35a is reached. It is determined whether or not the end condition for each expectation degree mode is satisfied based on the determination result. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the case of the non-variable state, the reach probability (the ratio that is positively determined in the reach determination) is set to be higher than that in the non-probable state when the probability variation state. . That is, in the non-probable change state, the variation pattern P6 due to the normal change is easily determined, so that the end condition is more likely to arrive than in the probability change state. Further, regarding the end condition, the overall control CPU 36a is more difficult to win the end lottery when it is in the probability variation state than in the non-probability variation state, and it is difficult to satisfy the end condition. Therefore, each expectation degree mode of the present embodiment is configured to increase the expectation degree to the probability variation state as each expectation degree mode is continued.

  When the overall control CPU 36a determines the end of each expectation degree mode by the end lottery, the general control CPU 36a starts the normal mode (re-entry period) together with the start of the symbol variation game that triggers the end condition for each expectation degree mode. And set a re-entry period. The overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) information (such as a flag) indicating (recognizes) the reentry period in the overall control RAM 36c when the normal mode that is the reentry period is started. It has become. On the other hand, when starting the normal mode that does not enter the re-entry period, the overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) information (such as a flag) indicating (recognizes) the re-entry period in the overall control RAM 36c. (That is, information (such as a flag) indicating (obtaining) that is not the re-entry period is set in the overall control RAM 36c). When the general control CPU 36a instructs the start of the normal mode from each expectation degree mode, the general control CPU 36a sets information indicating (obtains) each expectation degree mode that is the origin in the mode history information of the general control RAM 36c. To do.

  Subsequently, when the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of the normal mode that is the re-entry period shown in the scene A2f, the other control mode (here, normal mode (establishment of the re-entry period end condition), effect transition mode) Or any one of each expectation mode). The overall control CPU 36a, when staying in the normal mode that is the re-entry period, wins the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game that becomes the non-changeable state after the big hit game ends, and produces the effect after the end of the hit game. Decide to start the transition mode, and instruct the start of the effect transition mode. When the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of the effect transition mode from the normal mode that is the re-entry period, the general control CPU 36a indicates (obtains) the normal mode that is the origin in the mode history information of the overall control RAM 36c. Set.

  The overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) information (such as the number of times) indicating the number of times (the number of executions) of the executed symbol variation game in the overall control RAM 36c after the start of the normal mode as the re-entry period. It is like that. Then, for example, the overall control CPU 36a executes the symbol variation game on the condition that “10 times” is set as the number of games with the start of the normal mode that is the re-entry period, and the start of the other effect modes is not instructed. Each time the game is performed, the number of games is subtracted one by one and updated to grasp the number of games. Then, the overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not to continue the re-entry period depending on whether or not the number of games is “0 (zero)”. In other words, the overall control CPU 36a establishes that the re-entry period end condition is satisfied when the number of games is “0 (zero)”, and indicates (understands) information (flags, etc.) indicating that it is not the re-entry period. ) Is set in the overall control RAM 36c to cancel (end) the setting of the re-entry period, and the normal mode shown in the scene A2a is set.

  The overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not to satisfy the re-entry condition in response to the input of the variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P6 that specifies the normal variation during the normal mode stay that is the re-entry period. A re-entry lottery to determine whether or not. As a result of executing the re-entry lottery, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the execution of any one of the expectation modes assuming that the re-entry condition is satisfied when the winning is determined by the re-entry lottery. Note that, as a result of executing the re-entry lottery, the overall control CPU 36a continues the normal mode in which the re-entry period is established if the re-entry lottery is determined and the re-entry condition is not satisfied.

  The overall control CPU 36a executes the re-entry lottery according to the re-entry lottery table shown in FIG. 13 based on whether the winning probability is high probability (probability variation state) or low probability (non-probability variation state). In the re-entry lottery table, the winning probabilities are respectively determined based on whether or not the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability or low probability). In the re-entry lottery table, when the gaming state is a probable change state, the probability of being “non-winning” is assigned to 6/7, and the probability of being “winning” is assigned to 1/7. In the re-entry lottery table, when the gaming state is an uncertain change state, the probability of being “non-winning” is assigned to 54/55, and the probability of being “winning” is assigned to 1/55.

  When the overall control CPU 36a wins in the re-entry lottery, the mode history information stored in the overall control RAM 36c and the gaming state ("high probability + no change" or "low probability + no change"). ")), The re-entry destination mode shift lottery is executed in accordance with the mode shift lottery table for each mode shown in FIGS.

  Further, at the time of re-entry lottery, information indicating (obtaining) one of each expectation degree mode is stored (set) as the mode history information. For this reason, when the information indicating the low expectation mode is stored in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a performs the transition lottery for the previous low expectation mode shown in FIG. Re-entry destination mode transfer lottery is executed according to the transfer lottery tables T2a and T2b shown in (a) and (b). In addition, when information indicating (obtaining) the medium expectation mode is stored in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a performs the transition lottery for the previous medium expectation mode shown in FIG. Re-entry destination mode transfer lottery is executed according to the transfer lottery tables T3a and T3b shown in a) and (b). Further, when the information indicating the high expectation mode is stored in the mode history information, the overall control CPU 36a performs the transition lottery for the previous high expectation mode shown in FIG. The reentry destination mode transfer lottery is executed according to the transfer lottery tables T4a and T4b shown in a) and (b).

  Then, in the case where the mode control information in the mode transition lottery based on the first and second establishment modes during the stay transition mode shown in the scene A2b described above is information indicating one of the respective expectation modes, the overall control CPU 36a The re-entry destination mode transition lottery is executed in the same manner as in Fig. 9 (a), (b), Fig. 10 (a), (b), Fig. 11 (a), (b).

  Further, the overall control CPU 36a is configured to satisfy the re-entry condition even when the variation patterns P1 and P2 for winning effects are specified during the stay in the normal mode that is the re-entry period. Then, the overall control CPU 36a has the same mode as that in the case where the mode history information in the mode transition lottery based on the third establishment mode during the presentation transition mode staying in the scene A2b described above is one indicating each of the expected mode. The re-entry destination mode transfer lottery is executed (the same table shown in FIGS. 9C, 10C, and 11C).

  In the reentry destination mode lottery when the mode history information indicates the low expectation mode in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, the probability change state (the game state is “high probability + no change”). In this case, the probability of selecting in the order of medium expectation mode <high expectation mode is set high, and the low expectation mode is not selected. Further, in the re-entry destination mode lottery when the mode history information indicates the low expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 9B, in the non-probable change state (when the game state is “low probability + no change” The probability of selecting in the order of high expectation mode <intermediate expectation mode is set high, and the low expectation mode is not selected.In this embodiment, therefore, the low expectation mode is passed through. In the normal mode, which is the re-entry period, in principle, the low expectation mode that is the origin of the mode history information cannot be selected, and the medium expectation other than the low expectation mode when it is in a probabilistic state, It is easy to select a high expectation mode with a high expectation for the probability variation state as a reference among the high expectation modes, while reentry destination mode transition when the mode history information indicates the low expectation mode. In the lottery, Figure 9 ( ), When the 16R big hit game is won, the probability of selecting in the order of medium expectation mode = high expectation mode <low expectation mode is set high. In the normal mode, which is a re-entry period via the low expectation mode, the low expectation mode that is the transit origin based on the mode history information can be selected exceptionally and is most easily selected.

  In this embodiment, in the re-entry destination mode lottery when the mode history information indicates the medium expectation degree mode, as shown in FIG. 10A, the probability change state (the game state is “high probability + no change”). ), The probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode <high expectation mode is set high, and the medium expectation mode is not selected. Further, in the re-entry destination mode lottery when the mode history information indicates the medium / low expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 10B, the non-probable change state (when the game state is “low prob. + No change”). Therefore, the probability of selecting in the order of high expectation mode <low expectation mode is set high, and the medium expectation mode is not selected. In the normal mode that is the re-entry period, in principle, the medium expectation mode that was the origin of transit by the mode history information cannot be selected, and the low expectation other than the medium expectation mode when in the probabilistic state , It is easy to select a high expectation mode with a high expectation to the standard probability change state among the high expectation modes, while the reentry destination mode when the mode history information indicates the medium expectation mode. In the transition lottery, As shown in 0 (c), when the 16R big hit game is won, the probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode = high expectation mode <medium expectation mode is set high. In the embodiment, in the normal mode that is a re-entry period via the medium expectation degree mode, the medium expectation mode that is the origin of passage by the mode history information can be exceptionally selected and can be selected most easily. Yes.

  In this embodiment, in the re-entry destination mode lottery when the mode history information indicates the high expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 11A, the probability change state (the game state is “high probability + no change”). ), The probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode <intermediate / high expectation mode is set high, and the high expectation mode is not selected. Further, in the re-entry destination mode transition lottery when the mode history information indicates the low expectation mode, as shown in FIG. 11B, in the non-probable change state (when the game state is “low probability + no change” The probability of selecting in the order of medium expectation mode <low expectation mode is set high, and the high expectation mode is not selected.For this reason, in this embodiment, the high expectation mode is not used. In the normal mode, which is the re-entry period of all, in principle, the high expectation mode that was the origin of the mode history information cannot be selected, and the low expectation other than the high expectation mode when in the probabilistic state, It is easy to select the medium expectation mode with high expectation to the probability variation state as the standard among the medium expectation modes, while re-entry destination mode transition when the mode history information indicates the high expectation mode In the lottery, Figure 1 As shown in (c), when the 16R big hit game is won, the probability of selecting in the order of low expectation mode = medium expectation mode <high expectation mode is set high. In the mode, in the normal mode that is the re-entry period via the high expectation mode, the high expectation mode that is the transit origin based on the mode history information can be selected exceptionally and is most easily selected. .

  Then, when the overall control CPU 36a determines the transition destination by the re-entry destination mode transition lottery, the overall control CPU 36a starts each expectation degree mode determined together with the start of the symbol variation game that triggers the re-entry condition.

  Subsequently, when the overall control CPU 36a instructs the start of each expectation degree mode shown in the scenes A2c to A2e, the overall control CPU 36a continues until the transition to another effect mode (in this case, the normal mode or the effect transition mode). Let Then, as described above, the overall control CPU 36a executes the same process as when the mode is changed to each expectation mode by the mode change lottery while staying in each expectation mode.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 36a performs the processing during the non-changed state shown in the scene A2, and as a result, the trigger to shift from the normal mode to each expectation mode is the mode effect transition condition or the re-entry condition. The mode of determination of each expectation degree mode at the transition destination is made different depending on whether it exists. That is, the overall control CPU 36a changes the mode from the normal mode to each expectation level mode either through the effect transition mode (mode effect transition condition) or not via the effect transition mode (re-entry condition). The determination mode of each expectation degree mode of the transfer destination is made different.

  More specifically, in the production transition mode in which the normal mode is the transit origin, when transitioning to each expectation mode due to the establishment of the mode production transition condition, the expectation from the type of the production mode that became the transition destination to the certain change state is expected. Can be made to guess by the player. On the other hand, in the normal mode that is the re-entry period, when transitioning to each expectation mode due to the establishment of the re-entry condition without going through the effect transition mode, it is simply a certain change state from the type of the effect mode that is the transition destination. Rather than letting the player guess the expectation of the game, it is the type of each expectation mode that was staying most recently (the type of production mode that was staying just before the normal mode that is the re-entry period) and the transition destination The player is supposed to guess the expectation of the probable state from the type of the production mode.

  That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when transitioning to the low expectation mode due to the establishment of the re-entry condition, the transition destination is the latest when staying in the medium expectation level or high expectation mode. Since the transition to the production mode in which the expectation to the standard probability variation state is low among the candidates, it is not possible to greatly increase the expectation to the probability variation state, but when recently staying in the low expectation mode, the 16R system The winning of the jackpot game will be confirmed.

  In addition, when transitioning to the medium expectation mode due to the re-entry condition being met, when the most recent stay is in the low expectation mode, the expectation to the probability variation state that is the reference among the transition destination candidates is Since the transition to the low production mode, the expectation to the probability variation state cannot be greatly increased, but by changing to the production mode where the expectation to the standard probability variation state is set high, the appearance to the certain variation state appears. Can increase expectations. In addition, when transitioning to the medium expectation mode when the re-entry condition is satisfied, when the most recent stay in the high expectation mode, the performance mode in which the expectation to the standard probability variation state is set low However, since the transition is made to the production mode that has a high degree of expectation for the reference probability variation state among the candidates for the transition destination, the expectation for the probability variation state can be increased. Further, in this embodiment, when the re-entry condition is satisfied and the mode is shifted to the medium expectation mode, the winning of the 16R system big hit game is determined when the user has recently stayed in the medium expectation mode.

  In addition, when the re-entry condition is satisfied and the mode is shifted to the high expectation mode, the expectation to the standard probability variation state is set high when the user has recently stayed in the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode. By shifting to the production mode, it is possible to increase the expectation of the probable state that the player has in appearance. Further, in the present embodiment, when transitioning to the high expectation mode when the re-entry condition is satisfied, when it has recently stayed in the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode, it becomes a reference among candidates of the transition destination Since it has shifted to the production mode in which the expectation level for the probability change state is high, not only the appearance but also the expectation for the probability change state of the player can be increased. Further, in this embodiment, when the re-entry condition is satisfied and the mode is shifted to the high expectation mode, the winning of the 16R system big hit game is confirmed when the user stays in the high expectation mode most recently.

  Moreover, as a result of performing the processing in the non-changeable state shown in the scene A2, the overall control CPU 36a is triggered by any one of the mode effect transition conditions and the re-entry conditions as a trigger for transitioning from each expectation degree mode to each expectation degree mode. Depending on whether or not there is the same mode of determination for each expectation mode at the transition destination. That is, in the overall control CPU 36a, the mode of transition from each expectation degree mode to each expectation degree mode is either via the effect transition mode (mode effect transition condition) or not via the effect transition mode (re-entry condition). As described above, the determination mode of each expectation degree mode at the transition destination is made the same. In addition, when each expectation mode transitions from each expectation mode and goes through the production transition mode, the 2R probability variable big hit game or the small hit game wins as a trigger, and the 2R probability variable big hit game is triggered. It is also possible that he has been elected. And in such a case, the type of each expectation mode that stayed most recently (the type of production mode that stayed just before the normal mode that is the re-entry period) and the production mode that became the transition destination The player is expected to expect from the kind to the probable state.

  Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 37a of the display control board 37 based on the display control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 37a of the display control board 37 that executes the following various processes based on the display control program functions as an effect execution control means.

  When a control command is input from the sub-general control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a), the display control CPU 37a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. More specifically, when the display control CPU 37a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the effect display device H2 displays the decoration symbols in a variation manner designated by the variation pattern designation command and starts the symbol combination game. The display content of (image display part GH) is controlled. When the symbol stop command is input, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device H2 so as to display the symbol combination specified by the input decorative symbol stop symbol designation command. By this control, the symbol display game is performed on the effect display device H2. When the display control CPU 37a executes the symbol variation game, the effect display device H2 performs the symbol variation game using the background images G1 to G7 based on the background pattern (background data) for the currently designated effect mode. Controls the display content of.

  Further, when the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect command instructing the transition to each effect mode, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device H2 so that the symbol variation game is performed with the effect content specified by the command. . When the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect command instructing the transition to each effect mode, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device H2 with the background image based on the background pattern specified in the command. The display control CPU 37a continuously controls the display contents of the effect display device H2 without switching the current background image until the next effect command for instructing the transition to each effect mode is input.

  In the present embodiment, when the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect command instructing the transition to each effect mode, the type of effect indicated by the command at a predetermined timing after the winning game ends or at the start of the symbol variation game The display content of the effect display device H2 is controlled so as to play a symbol variation game with a background image based on the background pattern (background data) corresponding to the mode. When the display control CPU 37a executes each effect mode, the effect display device H2 displays a symbol variation game based on background images based on different background patterns so that the player can recognize the type of effect mode being executed from the display content. Let me do it. As a result, in the effect display device H2, various effect modes are executed according to the display modes shown in the scenes A1a (A1f), A1b, and A2a to A2e in FIG. When the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect command for instructing establishment of the special transition condition, the display control CPU 37a performs a display effect indicating that the special transition condition is satisfied at a predetermined timing in the target symbol variation game (for example, “ The display content of the effect display device H2 is controlled so that “special transition condition is satisfied” is displayed.

  In addition, when the opening control is input, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device H2 so as to execute the opening effect based on the effect pattern specifying the effect content of the jackpot game determined by the overall control CPU 36a. To do. Further, when the display control CPU 37a inputs a round command, the display content of the effect display device H2 is executed so that each round effect is executed based on the effect pattern specifying the effect content of the jackpot game determined by the overall control CPU 36a. Control.

  When the ending command is input, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device H2 so as to execute the ending effect based on the effect pattern specifying the effect content of the jackpot game determined by the overall control CPU 36a. To do. In addition, when the 2R probability change big hit game or the small hit game is given, the display control CPU 37a conceals whether or not the probability change state is given by executing the same mode of effect. Yes. Thereby, in the effect display apparatus H2, an opening effect, a round effect, and an ending effect are each performed.

  The voice / lamp control board 38 controls the light emission mode of the decorative lamp 16 and the voice output mode of the speaker 17 when various commands are input. That is, the voice / lamp control board 38 performs control so as to cause an effect corresponding to the contents of the effect instructed by these commands, like the display control board 37.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The overall control CPU 36a, after staying in the normal mode, after winning the 2R-probable big hit game or the small hit game that does not change after the big hit game ends, is triggered after the end of the hit game (the effect transition mode). Therefore, when the corresponding game is in the probability variation state, it is easy to start the high expectation mode in which the expectation of the probability variation state serving as a reference is higher than that in the non-probability variation state. Also, the overall control CPU 36a, after staying in the normal mode, after winning the 2R-probable big hit game or the small hit game that does not change after the big hit game has been changed, becomes the trigger after the end of these hit games (the effect transition mode is changed). In the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode, it is easy to start the medium expectation mode in which the expectation of the reference probability change state is high in the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode. On the other hand, if the re-entry condition is satisfied by the lottery result of the re-entry lottery during the normal mode stay that is the re-entry period from each expectation mode, the overall control CPU 36a stores the mode history information in the overall control RAM 36c. Each expectation mode other than the stored expectation modes is executed. That is, each expectation degree mode has a different expectation with respect to the standard probability variation state, but corresponds to each expectation degree mode in the case of going through the re-entry lottery. Expectation to the probability variation state changes depending on the type of each expectation mode that stayed in the immediate vicinity (immediately before the normal mode that becomes the reentry period) as well as the expectation to the standard probability variation state. It becomes. For this reason, the variation of the expectation to the probability change state which can guess whether it is a probability change state to a player can be increased. Therefore, rather than letting you guess whether or not it is a probabilistic state only from the type of each expectation mode, whether it is a probabilistic state or not depending on the type of each anticipation mode that was staying before moving to each anticipation mode By making it possible for the player to infer whether or not, it is possible to further entertain the player with a game that makes it possible to infer whether or not it is in a probable state.

  (2) When executing the re-entry lottery, the overall control CPU 36a makes it easier to derive a lottery result for winning in the case of the probability variation state than in the case of the non-probability variation state. For this reason, it is possible to make it possible for the player to guess whether or not the player is in a probable variation state from the derivation mode of the re-entry lottery result. Therefore, whether or not it is a promising state from the type of each expectation mode and the type of each expectation mode that was staying before the transition to each expectation mode, but also from the mode of deriving the lottery result of the re-entry lottery By making it possible for the player to make a guess, it is possible to further make the player enjoy the gameability that makes it possible to guess whether or not it is in a probable state.

  (3) The overall control CPU 36a can execute each expectation degree mode (through the effect transition mode) even when the special transition condition is satisfied. The overall control CPU 36a is more likely to establish the special transition condition when in the probability variation state than in the non-probability variation state, and has a high expectation for the reference probability variation state (in the effect transition mode). The expectation mode is easy to execute, and in the low expectation mode and the medium expectation mode, it is easy to execute the medium expectation mode in which the expectation to the probability variation state as a reference is high. For this reason, depending on the establishment of the special transition condition, it may be possible to guess whether or not the player is in a probable state from the type of each expectation mode that is executed in the same manner as during the normal mode stay that does not enter the re-entry period. it can. Therefore, by increasing the variation of the scenes that can be estimated whether or not it is in the probability variation state, it is possible to further make the player enjoy the game that makes it possible to guess whether or not it is in the probability variation state.

  (4) The overall control CPU 36a makes it difficult to satisfy the end condition for each expectation mode when it is in the probability variation state while staying in each expectation mode than in the non-probability variation state. For this reason, it can be made possible for the player to guess whether or not the state is in a probable variation state even from the end mode during staying in each expectation degree mode. Therefore, whether or not it is a probabilistic state not from the type of each expectation mode or the type of each expectation mode that was staying before shifting to each expectation mode, but also from the end mode during each expectation mode stay By making it possible for the player to make a guess, it is possible to further make the player enjoy the gameability that makes it possible to guess whether or not it is in a probable state.

  (5) In the reentry lottery, the overall control CPU 36a has a probability change state that is a reference in each expectation degree mode that can be selected from each expectation degree mode when it is in a probability change state rather than in a non-probability change state. It is configured to make it easy to execute the production mode with a high expectation for. For this reason, as a result of the re-entry lottery, it is possible to make it possible for the player to infer whether or not the probability change state is based on the type of each expectation degree mode to be executed. Therefore, not only from the type of each expectation mode or the type of each expectation mode that was staying until the transition to each expectation mode, but also from the type of each expectation mode executed as a result of the re-entry lottery By making it possible for the player to infer whether or not it is in a certain change state, it is possible to further make the player enjoy a game that makes it possible to guess whether or not it is in a certain change state.

  (6) The overall control CPU 36a executes an effect transition mode in which the player is notified of the execution of each expectation mode when the 2R probability change big hit game or the small hit game that does not change after the big hit game ends. Thus, each expectation mode is executed when the mode effect transition condition is satisfied during the stay in the effect transition mode. Further, the overall control CPU 36a is configured to vary the establishment ratio of the mode effect transition condition depending on whether or not the state is in a probable change state while staying in the effect transition mode. For this reason, it was made possible for the player to infer whether or not it is in a probable state from the stay mode (length of duration) in the effect transition mode. That is, for example, even when the low expectation mode is executed, it is possible to increase the expectation that the state is in a probable variation state depending on the stay mode in the effect transition mode. Therefore, it is not possible to guess whether or not the probability change state is based only on the type of each expectation mode, but it is also determined whether or not the probability change state depends on the stay mode of the effect transition mode until the transition to each expectation mode. By making it possible for a player to make a guess, it is possible to further entertain the player with a game that makes it possible to guess whether or not the player is in a probable state.

  (7) During the stay in the effect transition mode, since the advancement of each expectation mode is being announced, it is a period in which the player can always have an expectation for the execution of each expectation mode. That is, as the player stays in the effect transition mode, the player can continuously have expectations for the execution of each expectation degree mode. On the other hand, as a result of staying in the effect transition mode for a long time, if the player is in an uncertain change state, the player's discouragement increases as much as he / she can continuously expect the execution of each expectation degree mode. Therefore, when the player is in the probability variation state, the player can stay in the effect transition mode longer than in the case of the non-probability variation state, so that the player can continue to have expectations for the execution of each expectation mode. Appearance of disappointing scenes can be suppressed.

  (8) The overall control CPU 36a makes it possible to establish the mode effect transition condition when the main control CPU 35a decides not to perform the reach effect (out of reach effect). In addition, the main control CPU 35a makes it easier to determine that the reach effect (displacement reach effect) is performed in the probability variation state than in the non-probability variation state. For this reason, during the stay in the effect transition mode, in the non-probability change state, the opportunity for satisfying the mode effect transition condition is more likely to be established than in the probability change state. Then, while staying in the effect transition mode, the player is made to recognize whether or not each expectation mode is executed depending on whether or not a reach effect (out of reach), which is a phenomenon that the player can easily recognize during the game, appears. Thus, it is possible to further make the player enjoy a game that makes it possible to guess whether or not it is in a probabilistic state.

  (9) The overall control CPU 36a makes it possible to satisfy the mode effect transition condition with the start of the symbol variation game executed after the third time after starting the effect transition mode while staying in the effect transition mode. As a result, during the stay in the effect transition mode, it continues three times or more based on the number of times the symbol variation game is executed. For this reason, instead of causing each expectation mode to be executed immediately after the appearance transition mode appears, it is possible to allow the player to guess whether or not it is in a probable change state by providing a period in which the expectation transition mode can be maintained. Can be secured. Furthermore, during the stay in the effect transition mode, the effect transition mode can be started and changed to the stay mode according to the execution mode of the symbol variation game before the third time. By realizing the above, it is possible to further entertain the player with a game that makes it possible to guess whether or not the state is in a probable state.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-This embodiment should just be the structure which can select each expectation degree mode other than each expectation degree mode which became the transit origin by mode history information, when a re-entry condition is satisfied, for example, when it is in a probability change state It is good also as a structure which can determine easily each expectation degree mode in which the expectation degree to the probability variation state used as a reference | standard is lower than the time of a non-probability variation state.

  -In this embodiment, as mode history information, in addition to the type of the production mode that has been staying until the last time (last time), the type of the production mode that has been staying most recently of the production mode that has been staying most recently ) May be configured so as to be able to memorize the types of production modes that have been staying up to. Then, the overall control CPU 36a, when the mode effect transition condition and the re-entry condition are satisfied, each expectation other than the effect mode that has stayed until the previous time and the previous time based on the effect mode type that stayed until the previous time and the previous time. The degree mode may be determined as the transfer destination. However, in such a configuration, it is preferable to store information for each expectation degree mode as information of the previous and previous times among the mode history information, and to set four or more kinds of each expectation degree mode. . In such a configuration, it is also necessary to separately prepare a table that specifies that each expectation degree mode other than the production mode in which the user stayed the previous time and the last time is set as the transition destination.

  -In the present embodiment, when the re-entry condition is satisfied, it is easier to select each expectation mode having a high standard expectation out of each expectation mode that can be selected in the non-probability change state than in the probability change state. If there is no.

  In the present embodiment, the end condition for each expectation degree mode may be that the symbol variation game is executed a prescribed number of times from the start of each expectation degree mode, or the prescribed time may elapse.

  -In this embodiment, the re-entry period end condition can be changed to less than 10 times or more than 11 times, and the number of times that can be continued depends on whether or not it is in a probable state. For example, if it is a certain change state, it can also be made until it transfers to another production mode. In addition, the re-entry period end condition may be that a specified time elapses from the start of the re-entry period, or may be configured to determine whether to end by lottery.

In the present embodiment, the winning ratio in the end lottery table may be changed, and for example, the same winning ratio can be set regardless of whether or not it is in the probability variation state.
-This embodiment can also be configured without special transition conditions.

  In the present embodiment, the easiness (establishment ratio) of establishment of the special transition condition may be varied depending on the type of variation pattern (whether it is a big hit, whether it is a reach effect, etc.) In addition, it is possible to make it easier to establish a special transition condition in an effect with a high degree of expectation of jackpot than an effect with a low expectation degree of jackpot.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the transition destination is determined by a dedicated transition lottery table when transitioning to the effect transition mode due to the establishment of the special transition condition.
In the present embodiment, the winning ratio in the re-entry lottery table may be changed, and for example, the same winning ratio can be set regardless of whether or not the probability change state.

  -In this embodiment, the re-entry lottery execution trigger (the trigger for establishing the re-entry condition) can be changed and configured, for example, only at the time of a break or a symbol variation game regardless of the type of variation pattern Or at the beginning of each.

In the present embodiment, the type of each expectation degree mode can be changed. For example, four or more types can be changed according to the application.
-In this embodiment, you may change as long as it is the structure which can recognize the production mode of each production mode, for example, the operation mode (production mode) of an exclusive movable body, and the light emission mode of the decoration lamp 16 A configuration may be employed in which the player is notified of the type of the effect mode by the (effect mode) or the sound output mode (effect mode) of the speaker 17.

In the present embodiment, the special transition condition is established, and the special transition condition may be established as the special transition condition is established through the progress of the effects over a plurality of symbol variation games.
In the present embodiment, the reach probability (Xa) in the non-variable short state can be configured to be higher than the reach probability (Wa), and the reach experienced by the player through the game in the probability variation state than in the non-probability variation state. Any configuration may be used as long as the appearance rate of the production (out of reach production) can be increased. Further, the individual probability of reach probability (Xa) and reach probability (Wa), reach probability (Xb) and reach probability (Wb), reach probability (Xc) and reach probability (Wc) may be prominent. It is possible to make the difference in the appearance rate of the reach effect (out-of-bound reach effect) experienced by the player depending on whether or not it is significant. During the non-variable state, the number of reserved symbols for special symbols is less likely to increase than in the variable state, so the appearance rate of the reach effect (outlier reach effect) experienced by the player depending on whether or not it is in a probable state. In order to make the difference conspicuous, it is also an effective means to make the difference in reach probability depending on whether or not the state of probability variation is more prominent as the number of stored memories is smaller.

-This embodiment is good also as a structure which can establish mode production | generation transition conditions from the 1st symbol variation game after the start of this production | generation transition mode, while staying in production | generation transition mode.
In the present embodiment, the effect transition mode may be a configuration that can be continued at least once in the symbol variation game after the start of the effect transition mode. For example, after the start of the effect transition mode, It is also possible to adopt a configuration that can establish the mode effect transition condition from the fourth time onward.

  -In this embodiment, the opportunity which establishes mode production conditions can also be changed and comprised, for example, can also be made only at the time of a failure without a reach production. Further, when the mode production condition is established, it may be configured to determine whether or not the mode production transition condition is established by lottery.

  -In this embodiment, it can also be set as the structure which makes the stay period in effect transfer mode longer than the probability change state in a non-probability change state, and whether it is a probability change state from the stay aspect of effect transfer mode also by such a structure. Can be made to guess by the player.

  In the present embodiment, the mode effect transition condition is forcibly triggered by the execution of the symbol variation game for the specified number of times (for example, the fourth time) without starting the effect transition mode and then shifting to another effect mode. It may be configured to be established. In addition, when the symbol variation game of the specified number of times is a reach effect (out of reach effect), it is continued until the next normal variation. According to such a configuration, the overall control CPU 36a does not satisfy the mode effect transition condition after starting the effect transition mode, and does not win the 2R probability variation game. The production transition condition is forcibly established when the variable game is executed. Further, in the non-probability changing state, it is easier to execute each expectation mode before the effect transition mode reaches the specified number of times than in the case of the probability changing state. For this reason, after suppressing the protracted transition mode from being unnecessarily long, it is possible to execute each expectation mode while estimating whether or not it is in a probable variation state depending on the stay mode of the rendering transition mode. It is possible to further entertain the player with a game that makes it possible to infer whether or not it is in a state.

  -In this embodiment, it is sufficient if the player can conceal whether or not the game state is a probable change state, for example, the change state of the change state and the number of times to give it are arbitrarily changed. You can also. In addition, for example, a pachinko gaming machine in which only a jackpot game where a player with an upper limit of 16 is able to obtain many prize balls is provided, and either a probabilistic state or a non-probable state is given after the jackpot game ends. You may apply to. In addition, for example, a 16R probability variable jackpot game based on the symbol A (a jackpot game in which the player can acquire many prize balls) and a 2R probability variable jackpot game based on the symbol C (a jackpot game in which the player can hardly acquire a prize ball). And 2R non-probability variable big hit game (a big hit game in which a player can hardly acquire a prize ball) that is in a non-probable change state after the big hit game ends. That is, even if a small hit game is not provided, the probability change state can be concealed by the 2R probability change big hit game and the 2R non-probability big hit game.

  -In this embodiment, if it is the structure which can recognize the kind of effect mode to a player, you may change the effect aspect of each effect mode, for example, the operation mode (effect aspect) of a dedicated movable body, A configuration may be adopted in which the player is notified of the type of effect mode by the light emission mode (effect mode) of the decorative lamp 16 and the sound output mode (effect mode) of the speaker 17.

-In this embodiment, what is necessary is just to provide at least normal mode and each expectation degree mode, and you may change a structure arbitrarily.
In the present embodiment, after each winning game, the start of the corresponding production mode may be instructed together with the start of the next symbol variation game.

-In this embodiment, it can also be set as the structure which makes a player acquire a prize ball by extending the open time of the big winning opening 30 in 2R probability change big hit game and small hit game.
In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a may acquire all the various random numbers related to the determination of the symbol variation game from the main control RAM 35c at the time of winning each of the start winning ports 26 and 27.

Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above-described embodiment and other examples are added below.
