(First embodiment)
A first embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine that is a kind of gaming machine will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows a pachinko gaming machine 10, and a vertical rectangular middle frame for setting various gaming components on the front side of the opening of an outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body of the pachinko gaming machine 10. 12 is assembled, and a front frame 14 is assembled on the front side of the middle frame 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the front frame 14 is assembled so as to overlap the middle frame 12 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front side. The front frame 14 is configured by integrally forming an upper plate (storage plate) 15 as a first storage plate capable of storing game balls, and protects the game board YB disposed inside the machine on the back side. A glass support frame (not shown) is assembled. In addition, a lower tray (storage tray) 18 for storing game balls overflowing from the upper tray 15 is mounted on the front side of the middle frame 12 and at the lower portion of the front frame 14, and to the right of the lower tray 18. Is mounted with a launch handle 19 for launching a game ball that is turned by the player when launching the game ball onto the game board YB. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a lamp unit 16 for performing a light emission effect (game effect) by light emission (lighting or blinking) of a light emitter (lamp, LED, etc.) (not shown). Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs sound effects (game effects).

  Near the center of the game board YB, a display frame (center accessory) 21 with various displays and various decorations is mounted, and the display frame 21 has a liquid crystal display type image display unit. An effect display device 22 having GH is attached. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 functions as a game execution unit, an effect execution unit, and a notification execution unit. The effect display device 22 includes a symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns) and the symbol variation game is performed once from the variation start to the final stop display. Various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the symbol variation game are displayed as images. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22 is performed using a decorative symbol (hereinafter simply referred to as “decorative symbol”) for diversifying the display effect.

  The display frame 21 is provided with a 7-segment special figure display 23. The special symbol display 23 displays a symbol variation game that is performed by varying a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter simply referred to as “special symbols”) in a single row. The special figure that can be displayed on the special figure display 23 is a notification pattern indicating the result of the internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit.

  The symbol variation game displayed on the effect display device 22 and the special symbol display 23 is an effect for deriving the lottery result of the big hit lottery whether or not the big hit, and if the big hit is won in the big hit lottery, the big hit is won. Recognizable symbols are displayed. On the other hand, when a big win lottery is not won, a symbol that can recognize a loss is derived. In the present embodiment, on the effect display device 22 and the special symbol display 23, the symbol variation display is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In the effect display device 22, before the end of the symbol variation game, the symbol combination based on the ornament is derived in a swinging variation state and is temporarily stopped and displayed. . Here, the “variable display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the display for displaying the symbol is changing, and the “pause display” is the state within the display area. This is a state in which the symbol is displayed in a fluctuation state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of decorations that are varied in each symbol sequence in the effect display device 22 are nine types of numeric symbols [1] to [9], and are composed of the same numeric symbols. The symbol combination is a jackpot symbol based on the decoration. For example, the big hit symbol by the decorative drawing is [777] or the like. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game cannot be definitely recognized from the types of decorations constituting the jackpot symbol. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, symbol combinations that are not composed of the same numerical symbols are used as decorative symbols. For example, the out-of-line symbol by the decorative drawing is [123] or the like. In addition, the effect display device 22 is designed to derive a symbol combination by a decorative drawing corresponding to the special drawing displayed on the special drawing display 23.

  Further, in the symbol variation game in the effect display device 22 of the present embodiment, the symbol sequence variation stops according to a predetermined variation stop order after a lapse of a predetermined time since the variation of each symbol sequence starts. A decorative drawing is derived for each column. In the present embodiment, the change stop order is left column → right column → middle column. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the variation in the left column and the right column is stopped in the symbol variation game, the case where the decorations derived in both columns are the same symbol is set to the reach state, and the reach is performed. Reach production is performed to derive the middle row of symbols after the state is formed. In the present embodiment, the decorative drawing derived when the reach state is formed is a reach formation symbol, and the two left and right columns are reach formation symbol sequences from which the reach formation symbol can be derived. The reach effect is a game effect that is performed with various effect contents (such as displaying a predetermined character or background) after the reach state is formed in the symbol variation game displayed on the effect display device 22. In addition, in the symbol variation game displayed on the effect display device 22, a predetermined image such as a character or a character (serif) is displayed in addition to the reach effect, and the possibility of whether or not it is a big hit based on the type of the image is displayed. A suggestive announcement is made.

  On the other hand, in the special figure display 23 of this embodiment, one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery is selected from a plurality of types of special figures, and the selected special figure is the symbol variation game. A fixed stop display is displayed when the operation ends. The multiple types of special symbols are classified into a jackpot symbol that is a symbol for recognizing a jackpot and one type of missing symbol that is a symbol for which a loss is recognizable. When the big hit symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 23, the big hit (hit big hit game) is given to the player after the end of the symbol variation game. The jackpot game of this embodiment will be described later in detail.

  In addition, a start winning opening 26 having an entrance 25 for a game ball is arranged below the display frame 21 in the game board YB. The start winning opening 26 includes an opening / closing blade 27 that opens and closes by an operation of a solenoid (not shown). When the opening / closing blade 27 is opened, the start winning opening 26 is expanded to enter the game ball easily. On the other hand, when the opening / closing blade 27 is closed, the entrance ball is not expanded and the game ball enters. It is said that it is difficult to ball. A start opening sensor SE1 (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a winning game ball (winning detection) is disposed behind the start winning opening 26. The start winning opening 26 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the game ball that has entered. In the present embodiment, the start winning opening 26 and the start opening sensor SE1 constitute a winning detection means.

  In addition, in the display frame 21, on the upper right side of the image display unit GH, the number of stored start balls (hereinafter simply referred to as “hold memory”) stored in the machine (main control RAM 30 c shown in FIG. 2). There is provided a holding indicator Ra for notifying the number of the symbol variation games that are on hold based on “there may be indicated as“ number ””. The number of reserved memories indicates the number of symbol variation games that are on hold (waiting). The reserved memory number is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening 26, and is decremented by 1 when the symbol variation game is started. Accordingly, when a game ball enters the start winning opening during the symbol variation game, the reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment).

  The display frame 21 is provided with a general-purpose display 24. In the normal display 24, a normal symbol variation game for deriving the lottery result of the winning lottery (whether or not the opening / closing blade 27 is opened) separately from the big winning lottery determination whether or not the big hit Hereinafter, it is simply displayed as “general game”. In the common figure display 24 of this embodiment, when the winning is determined by the winning lottery, the winning symbol consisting of the usual figure is displayed in a fixed stop display in the usual figure game. On the other hand, when the shift is determined in the winning lottery, the symbol display 24 according to the present embodiment displays the stop symbol that is a regular symbol in the regular game in a fixed stop display. When the winning symbol is displayed on the universal symbol display 24, the game per symbol is awarded after the universal symbol game is over. When a game is given per game, the opening / closing blade 27 is opened to open the start winning opening 26, which makes it easy to win the game ball. In other words, when a game per game is awarded, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the start winning opening 26, so that the player can obtain a start condition of the symbol variation game and a chance to win a prize ball. In the present embodiment, the winning lottery is performed when the game ball wins (passes) the operating gate 13 provided in the game board YB.

  Also, below the start winning opening 26, a large winning opening device 29 having a large winning opening door 28 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed. When the big win symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol change game and the big hit is generated, the big winning opening device 29 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning door 28 and the game ball can be entered. A person can get a chance to obtain a large number of prize balls.

  In this embodiment, when the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After completion of the opening effect, the round game in which the special winning opening device 29 (large winning entrance door 28) is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as an upper limit (7 rounds or 15 rounds in the present embodiment). One round game is performed until the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened and closed once, and during the single round game, the big prize opening device 29 has a predetermined maximum number of balls entered. The game is opened until a game ball (for example, 9 balls) wins or until a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter, may be referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability change function is a normal probability that the jackpot lottery probability state is a low probability lottery state after the jackpot game is over, for example, on condition that the type of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) displayed in a fixed stop state is a predetermined probability change symbol. , 1/300) to a high probability lottery state (for example, 1/30), a probability variation state (probability variation state) is added. In the present embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is finished is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not given is a non-probability variation jackpot. This probability variation state is given until the next big hit is generated. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a variable function for providing a variable time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “variable”) state. When the variable speed state is given, the fluctuation time of the above-mentioned ordinary game is shortened, and the entrance rate improvement state in which the hit probability of the usual game fluctuates from the normal probability to the high probability is given as a privilege. It has become. In the normal state, when winning the normal game, the opening / closing blade 27 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 0.3 seconds have elapsed since the opening. On the other hand, when the winning rate is won in the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 27 is opened three times, and the open state is maintained until 1.5 seconds elapses after opening in one opening. It is supposed to be. As described above, when the improved entrance rate state is given, it becomes easier to enter the game ball into the start winning opening 26, so the improved entrance rate state is a game state advantageous to the player. It should be noted that the entrance rate improvement state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed or until a big hit is generated before reaching the number of times.

Next, the jackpot defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a big hit is won in the big hit lottery, one big hit is determined from among the three types of big hits, and a big hit game according to the determined big hit type is given. It has become. The type of jackpot is determined in accordance with the type of special figure (big hit symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the special bonus jackpot symbols are classified into three groups: symbol A, symbol B, and symbol C.

  The jackpot given based on the jackpot symbol of the special figure classified as the symbol A gives a jackpot game set to “15 times” as the specified number of rounds, and gives a probability change state after the jackpot game ends. Round probability variation jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “15R probability variation jackpot”). In addition, the jackpot given based on the jackpot symbol of the special figure classified as the symbol C gives a jackpot game with “7 times” set as the prescribed number of rounds, and gives a probable change state after the jackpot game ends. 7 rounds probable big hit (hereinafter referred to as “7R probable big hit”). In the 15R probability variation big hit and the 7R probability variation big hit, in addition to the probability variation state after the big hit game ends, the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability variation state (that is, there is no limit).

  The jackpot awarded based on the jackpot symbol of the special figure classified as the symbol B gives the jackpot game set as “15 times” as the prescribed number of rounds, and after the jackpot game is over, The 15 round non-probable big hit (hereinafter referred to as “15R non-probable big hit”) to be given. In addition, in the 15R non-probability big hit, the probability change state is not given after the big hit game is finished, and the ball entering rate improvement state is given with the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) as the upper limit number.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the value is different for each type of jackpot given to the player. That is, 15R probable big hit and 15R non-probable big hit (hereinafter simply referred to as “15R big win”) are executed more times than one 7R probable big hit, and thus more during one big hit game. There is a possibility that a game ball can be obtained. For this reason, the value given to the player differs between the 15R big hit and the 7R probability variable big hit in that the number of executions of the round game that can acquire the game ball during the big hit game is different. In addition, the 15R probability variation big hit and the 7R probability variation big hit (hereinafter simply referred to as “probability big hit”) are given the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state after the end of the big hit game, so only the entrance rate improvement state is given. A game state that is more advantageous to the player than the 15R non-probable big hit is provided. For this reason, the value given to the player differs between the probability variation big hit and the 15R non-probable big hit in terms of whether or not the probability variation state is imparted. For this reason, the player plays the game with an interest not only in winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery but also in what kind of jackpot is awarded.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in one symbol variation game, a variation cycle in which one cycle from the symbol variation start to the symbol variation stop (temporary stop display) is performed once is continuously executed a plurality of times. It is configured to be able to execute a pseudo-continuous production (hereinafter, simply referred to as “pseudo-continuous”) as a special variation production made possible. The pseudo-continuous effect is expressed as an effect only by the effect display device 22 in a single symbol variation game performed by the effect display device 22 and the special figure display device 23. One symbol variation game is started by the start of variation of symbols (decorative drawings and special symbols), and is terminated when the symbol is stopped after the symbol variation is stopped. This one-time symbol variation game is executed in response to one starting hold ball (start hold memory). In other words, a single symbol variation game with a pseudo-continuous effect is expressed in a pseudo manner as if a symbol variation game is performed continuously several times in the internal control. It is done.

  In the pseudo-continuous production that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, three types of pseudo-continuous production in which two, three, and four fluctuation cycles are executed in one symbol variation game can be executed. It has become. Then, the one symbol variation game with the pseudo-continuous effect according to the present embodiment is a jackpot reliability that can determine whether or not the jackpot symbol (symbol combination) is displayed depending on the number of executions of the variation cycle constituting the game. It is configured so that the degree (expected degree of jackpot) changes. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a pseudo-continuous effect in which the number of executions of the variable cycle is larger when the big win is won by the big hit lottery than when the big win is not won by the big hit lottery. Floating games are easier to play. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as the number of change cycles increases in one symbol change game by a decorative drawing performed on the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH), The probability that a big hit symbol is derived in the symbol variation game increases step by step. In particular, the pseudo-continuous production in which the fourth variation cycle is executed in excess of the predetermined number of times (three in the present embodiment) determined in advance in this embodiment is performed only when winning in the big hit lottery, The jackpot is confirmed to be confirmed when the jackpot is confirmed. In the present embodiment, when the pseudo-continuous production is executed during the symbol variation game, the above-described notice production (for example, a character appears or a line is displayed) is performed for each variation cycle. To get.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. (Control command) is output. A display control board 31 and a sound / lamp control board 32 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The display control board 31 and the sound / lamp control board 32 are connected to the main control board 30. The display control board 31 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 22 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The sound / lamp control board 32 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the lamp unit 16 based on a control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The sound / lamp control board 32 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30.

First, the main control board 30 will be described in detail.
The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a capable of executing control processing in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b for storing a main control program for the main control CPU 30a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A main control RAM 30c is provided. A start port sensor SE1 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a gate sensor (not shown) that detects a game ball won in the operating gate 13. The main control CPU 30a is connected with a special display 23, a general display 24, and a hold display Ra.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as the big hit determination random number, the fluctuation pattern distribution random number, and the special figure distribution random number every predetermined cycle, and the updated values are used for the main control. The value before update is rewritten by storing (setting) it in the setting area of the RAM 30c. The big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) whether or not to make a big hit. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to select a variation pattern. The special figure distribution random number is a random number used when determining the jackpot symbol of the special figure.

  The main control ROM 30b stores various determination values such as a big hit determination value in addition to the main control program. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number. Then, the probability of winning a jackpot in the jackpot lottery (the jackpot probability) is determined by the number of numerical values determined as the jackpot determination value. For example, when the jackpot determination random number value is set to 600 integers ranging from “0 to 599” and the jackpot determination value in the normal state is set to “2”, the jackpot probability is 2/600 ( = 1/300) When the big hit determination value in the probability variation state is set to “20”, the big hit probability is 20/600 (= 1/30).

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern includes the effect contents of the game effect and the variation time (effect time) from when the symbol starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) to when the symbol is confirmed and stopped (the symbol variation game ends). Is stipulated. Fluctuation patterns are categorized into jackpot presentations that are selected when a big win is won in the jackpot lottery and outliers that are selected when the jackpot lottery is not won in the jackpot lottery (including outlier reach production). It is possible.

  The jackpot effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the jackpot symbol (symbol combination) is finally stopped after the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the final symbol (the symbol combination) is finally stopped after the reach effect. The out-of-reach effect without reach is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so that the final symbol is finally displayed in a definite stop state without undergoing the reach effect.

  Here, the fluctuation pattern prepared in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows only a part of the variation pattern. In FIG. 3, “pseudo continuous X times” indicates a quasi-continuous effect composed of a fluctuation cycle of “X times (“ X ”is an integer value)”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the fluctuation pattern P1 is a fluctuation pattern for an off-stage effect without reach. Further, the fluctuation pattern P2A, the fluctuation pattern P3A, and the fluctuation pattern P4A are the fluctuation patterns for the outlier reach effect. The variation pattern P2B, the variation pattern P3B, the variation pattern P4B, and the variation pattern P5 are variation patterns for the big hit effect.

  The variation pattern P1 is a variation pattern of normal variation in which the symbol variation game ends without forming a reach state. In addition, the variation pattern P2A and the variation pattern P2B (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “variation pattern P2”) are formed with a reach state after the start of the symbol variation game, and a predetermined effect content (for example, a predetermined character is displayed). It is a variation pattern in which reach production is performed. The fluctuation pattern P3A and the fluctuation pattern P3B (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as “fluctuation pattern P3”) have a pseudo continuous effect consisting of two fluctuation cycles, and a reach state is formed during the second fluctuation cycle. Thus, the variation pattern is such that a predetermined reach effect is performed. In addition, the fluctuation pattern P4A and the fluctuation pattern P4B (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as “fluctuation pattern P4”) are subjected to a pseudo-continuous production consisting of three fluctuation cycles, and reach during the third fluctuation cycle. Is formed, and a variation pattern in which a predetermined reach effect is performed. The variation pattern P5 is a variation pattern in which a pseudo continuous effect including four variation cycles is performed, and a predetermined reach state is formed during the fourth variation cycle, and a reach effect is performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery (that is, in the case of the big win), the variation pattern P1 is not selected. Further, in the variation patterns P2 to P4, when the big win is won in the big hit lottery, the variation pattern P2 is most difficult to be selected, and the variation pattern P2 <the variation pattern P3 <the variation pattern P4 is easily selected. Note that the fluctuation pattern P5 is less likely to be selected than any of the fluctuation patterns P2 to P4 even when the big win lottery is won. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is not won (that is, in the case of a loss), the variation pattern P4 is most difficult to be selected, and the variation pattern P4 <the variation pattern P3 <the variation pattern P2 is selected. It is configured easily. Note that the variation pattern P5 is configured not to be selected when the big win is not won in the big win lottery. For this reason, in this embodiment, the big hit reliability for each fluctuation pattern is the lowest in the fluctuation pattern P1 (displacement) (that is, the reliability is “zero”), the fluctuation pattern P2 (reach effect), and the fluctuation pattern P3 (pseudo sequence 2). Times), the variation pattern P4 (pseudo-continuous 3 times), and the variation pattern P5 (pseudo-continuous 4 times) in this order. In particular, the fluctuation pattern P5 can be selected only when the big win is won in the big hit lottery (that is, in the case of the big win), and the production content of “quasi-continuous 4 times” associated with the fluctuation pattern P5 is the big hit reliability. Will be positioned as the production content of the finalized effect of determining the big hit with 100%.

Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described.
The main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 stores a game ball in the start winning opening 26 and inputs a detection signal output from the start port sensor SE1 that detects the game ball, and is stored in the main control RAM 30c. It is determined whether or not the number of reserved memories is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of stored memories <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the held memory number and rewrites the held memory number. Further, when the main control CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the hold determination, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the big hit determination random number, the value of the variation pattern distribution random number, and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the main control RAM 30c. (Reading), the value is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the holding memory count exceeding the upper limit number, and also determines the value of the big hit determination random number and the variation pattern distribution. Do not get the value of the random number for use and the value of the special distribution random number.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a reads the jackpot determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the read jackpot determination The value of the random number is compared with the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b to determine whether or not the jackpot is a big hit (big hit lottery). When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for jackpot determination matches the jackpot determination value), the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a jackpot symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. Further, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the big hit selects and determines one fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation patterns for the big hit effect.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (when the reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off-line symbol (special image) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is determined. Determine the variation pattern from the inside. Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and the variation for the out effect A variation pattern is determined from the patterns.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a, which has determined the special figure and the variation pattern, outputs a predetermined control command to the display control board 31 (display control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Next, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for instructing a special symbol. The main control CPU 30a outputs an all 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. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number. Then, the main control CPU 30a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and when the variation time determined in the determined variation pattern elapses, the determined special symbol (big hit symbol or outlier symbol) is displayed. Display the confirmed stop.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit (when the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative determination), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the big hit identified from the big hit symbol (special symbol) The control of the big hit game is started according to the kind of the game, and a predetermined control command is output to the display control board 31 (display control CPU 31a) and the sound / lamp control board 32 at a predetermined timing.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs an opening command for instructing an opening effect upon the end of the symbol variation game. Next, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing a round effect every time a round game is started. When the round game for the specified number of rounds is completed, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing the ending effect, and ends the big hit game after the ending time set as the ending effect effect time has elapsed. Let Then, the main control CPU 30a executes control so that the game state after the end of the jackpot game is given a probability variation state and a ball entering rate improvement state according to the type of the jackpot. That is, in the case of 7R probability variation big hit and 15R probability variation big hit, the main control CPU 30a gives the probability variation state and the increased entrance rate state as the gaming state after the big hit game. Further, in the case of 15R non-probable big hit, the main control CPU 30a gives only the improved entrance rate state without giving the positive change state as the game state after the big hit game.

Next, the display control board 31 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the display control board 31 includes a display control CPU 31a that can execute a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 31b that stores a display control program for the display control CPU 31a, and a necessary operation. A display control RAM 31c capable of writing and reading various data is provided. The display control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters (messages), and characters) in addition to the display control program. Further, the display control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers such as a notice execution determination random number, a selection number determination random number, a notice selection random number, a group selection random number, and the like after every predetermined period. Is stored (set) in the setting area of the display control RAM 31c, and the value before update is rewritten.

  The notice execution determination random numbers are defined as all 101 types of integers from “0 to 100”, and are used when determining whether to execute the notice effect. The random number for determining the number of selections is defined as a total of 102 integers from “0 to 101”, and is a random number used when determining the number of selections for the notice effect. The random number for selecting a notice is a random number used when selecting the contents of the notice effect. Further, the group selection random number is a random number used when selecting a table for selecting the contents of the effect of the notice effect.

Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 31a based on the display control program will be described.
When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the display control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly. For example, when the variation control designation command is input, the display control CPU 31a selects (determines) the specific content of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. The display content of the image display unit GH (effect display device 22) is controlled so that the symbol variation game is performed. At this time, the display control CPU 31a uses the image data stored in the display control ROM 31b based on the selected effect content to generate display data for displaying an image according to the effect content. Then, the display control CPU 31a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data. Switch every control cycle.

  Further, when the display control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the effect display device 22 is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination by the decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped is determined. Then, the display control CPU 31a derives the symbol combination based on the determined decoration symbol in the symbol variation game, and displays the symbol combination (one of the jackpot symbol or the off symbol) based on the decoration symbol by inputting all symbol stop commands. The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so as to end the symbol variation game.

  Further, when the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the display control CPU 31a determines the specific contents of the big hit game based on the type of the big hit game corresponding to the big hit symbol. Then, the display control CPU 31a determines the opening effect based on the specific effect contents of the determined jackpot game and various commands (opening command, round command, and ending command) related to the jackpot game input from the main control CPU 30a. The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so that the round effect and the ending effect are projected.

  Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a pseudo-continuous effect consisting of four fluctuation cycles in which a jackpot is determined is executed, and a symbol variation game that is a big hit during a pending symbol variation game is played. If included, a special notice effect as a notification effect can be executed during the fourth fluctuation cycle. This special notice effect informs that the symbol variation game that is a big hit is included in the symbol variation game that is on hold, and the type of jackpot that is given after the end of the symbol variation game that is a big hit ( It is said that it is a game production for making a notice. Hereinafter, a specific configuration for executing the notice effect including the special notice effect will be described.

  First, the control executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 will be described. The main control CPU 30a wins the game ball at the start winning opening 26 and, at the same time, affirmatively determines the hold determination described above, the value of the random number for jackpot determination acquired from the main control RAM 30c, and whether or not to execute the special notice effect It is determined whether or not the special notice effect execution value matches the special notice effect determination value. In other words, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment compares the value of the jackpot determination random number read when the winning detection is detected with the special advance notice execution determination value at the time of winning detection, and determines the special notice effect execution determination. It can be said that

  The special notice determination value of this embodiment is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The special notice determination value is set to the same value as the value set as the jackpot determination value from the numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number (in this embodiment, all 600 integers from “0 to 599”). In addition, the number of special notice determination values is set to match the number of jackpot determination values. Specifically, for example, when “2” values of “3” and “77” are set as the jackpot determination values in the normal state, the special notice determination values of “3” and “77” are also set. A value of “2” is set. Similarly, for example, when a value of “20” is set as the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state, “20” is set as the special notice determination value as the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state. .

  Therefore, the main control CPU 30a always makes an affirmative even in the special notice effect execution determination when the value of the random number for determining the big hit that is read when the winning is detected is a value that is positively determined in the big hit determination performed immediately before the start of the symbol variation game. It comes to judge. With such a configuration, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment detects the winning at the timing at which the game ball won at the start winning opening 26 is detected even before the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is executed. It is possible to determine in advance whether or not the symbol variation game based on the value of the jackpot determination random number (starting holding ball) read out as a trigger will be a jackpot.

  The main control CPU 30a having affirmatively determined the special notice effect execution determination determines the number of reserved memories associated with the jackpot determination random number that has been affirmed in the special notice effect execution determination stored in the main control RAM 30c. Make a hold memory decision. In this embodiment, the special notice effect execution determination and the hold memory determination are performed after adding the hold memory number by 1 when the winning detection is detected, and before decrementing the hold memory number by 1 with the start of the symbol variation game. To do. Therefore, in the hold memory determination performed by the main control CPU 30a, the number of hold memories (that is, the number of symbol variation games being held) at the time when the special notice effect execution determination is positively determined is determined.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a having affirmed the special notice effect execution determination refers to the special figure distribution random number value acquired simultaneously with the jackpot determination random number value affirmed in the special notice effect execution determination. A jackpot symbol (special chart) determined after the jackpot determination is specified based on the value of the distributed random number. Then, the main control CPU 30a selects the type of jackpot (any one of 15R probability variable big hit, 15R non-probable big hit, and 7R probability big jackpot) given when the specified jackpot symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 23. It is designed to identify in advance.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a instructs the execution of the special notice effect, and displays a special notice effect instruction command indicating the value of the number of reserved storage at the time when the special notice effect execution determination is affirmed. CPU 31a). The main control CPU 30a outputs a big hit type designation command for designating the specified big hit type to the display control board 31 (display control CPU 31a). As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a big hit lottery means, a prior big hit determination means, a big hit seed preliminary determination means, and a big hit seed determination means. Further, the main control RAM 30c functions as a holding storage means.

  Next, processing executed by the display control board 31 (the display control CPU 31a) in order to execute the notice effect including the special notice effect will be described with reference to FIGS. The display control ROM 31b of the display control board 31 stores content selection tables TN1 to TN4 that are referred to when the display control CPU 31a selects a specific content of the notice effect (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Show). The display control ROM 31b stores notice tables TA to TE to be referred to when the display control CPU 31a selects the content selection tables TN1 to TN4 (shown in FIGS. 5 to 9). The display control ROM 31b stores a notice table selection table TS that is referred to when the display control CPU 31a selects the notice tables TA to TE (shown in FIG. 4).

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the notice table selection table TS, notice tables TA to TE are associated with the variation patterns P1 to P5, respectively. Specifically, in the notice table selection table TS, the notice table TA for the fluctuation pattern P1 and the fluctuation pattern P2, the notice table TB for the fluctuation pattern P3, and the notice table TC for the fluctuation pattern P4. The notice table TD and the notice table TE are associated with the variation pattern P5.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the notice selection table TA includes a contents selection table as a table group for selecting a contents selection table for selecting the notice contents of the notice effect to be executed in the symbol variation game without the pseudo continuous effect. Three types of table groups obtained by selecting and grouping one content selection table among TN1 to TN3 are associated with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the notice table TB includes a contents selection table as a table group for selecting a contents selection table for selecting the effect contents of the notice effect to be executed in each fluctuation cycle of the two fluctuation cycles. Three types of table groups obtained by selecting and grouping a total of two content selection tables from TN1 to TN3 are associated with each other. As shown in FIG. 7, the notice selection table TC includes a contents selection table as a table group for selecting a contents selection table for selecting the effect contents of the notice effect to be executed in each of the three fluctuation cycles. Three types of table groups obtained by selecting and grouping a total of three content selection tables from TN1 to TN3 are associated with each other.

  The notice table TD shown in FIG. 8 and the notice table TE shown in FIG. 9 are tables for selecting a content selection table for selecting the contents of the notice effect to be executed in each of the four fluctuation cycles. As groups, three types of table groups are selected in which a total of four content selection tables among the content selection tables TN1 to TN4 are selected and grouped. And in each table group G1-G3 matched with each notice table TA-TE, the content selection table selected for every fluctuation | variation cycle can be specified. For example, in the notice table TD, the table group G2 selects the contents selection table TN1 as the contents selection table for selecting the contents of the notice effect in the first fluctuation cycle, and the notices in the second and third fluctuation cycles. It is possible to select the content selection table TN2 as a content selection table for selecting the production content of the production, and to select the content selection table TN3 as the content selection table for selecting the production content of the notice effect in the fourth variation cycle. It is shown. Note that each of the notice tables TA to TE is assigned a predetermined number of random numbers for group selection for each of the table groups G1 to G3.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, in the content selection table TN1, a plurality of types (three types in the present embodiment) of serif notices are set as specific contents of the notice effect. The serif notice in the present embodiment is performed in such a manner that a character image imitating a predetermined serif (“What's up?”, “I can expect!” Etc.) is displayed on the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH). This is a notice effect. In the content selection table TN1, a predetermined number of random numbers for notice selection are assigned to the contents of each line notice. In addition, in the content selection table TN1, a predetermined number of random numbers for the notice execution determination are assigned to each line notice content, and compared with the time when the deviation is determined from the distribution mode of the random number for the notice execution determination. Thus, it is easier to decide whether or not to execute the serif notice when the jackpot is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, in the content selection table TN2, a plurality of types (four types in the present embodiment) of character notices are set as specific contents of the notice effect. The character announcement in this embodiment is a notice effect performed in such a manner that a character image is displayed so that a predetermined character (“character K1”, “character K2”, etc.) appears on the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH). It is. In the content selection table TN2, a predetermined number of random numbers for notice selection are distributed for each effect of the notice of each character. In addition, in the content selection table TN2, a predetermined number of notice execution determination random numbers are assigned to each character notice content. Based on the distribution mode of the random number value for determining the notice execution in the content selection table TN2, any content of “Character K1 Appears”, “Character K2 Appears” and “Character K1 and Character K2 Appears” when the big hit is determined. While the character notice according to can be executed with the same probability, at the time of determination, “Character K1 appears” is most easily executed, and “Character K2 appears” and “Character K1 and character K2 appear” are executed in this order. It has become difficult. In addition, the character advance notice based on the content of the effect “Character K3 appears” is not always executed at the time of determination of the loss, and is difficult to execute even at the time of determination of the big hit (in this embodiment, it is executed at 1/101). ) Therefore, in this embodiment, the character notice by the content of the effect “Character K3 appears” is a confirmed effect of determining the big hit (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “premium effect”).

  As shown in FIG. 10C, in the content selection table TN3, a plurality of types (four types in the present embodiment) of background image previews are set as the specific content of the preview effect. The background image notice in the present embodiment is a predetermined background image (“display how birds fly”, “display flyer“ big hit ””, etc. on the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) during the execution of the symbol variation game. ) Is a notice effect performed in a manner of displaying.

  In addition, in the content selection table TN3, a predetermined number of random numbers for selecting a notice are distributed for each effect of the background image notice. In the content selection table TN3, a predetermined number of random numbers for notice execution determination are distributed for each effect of the background image notice. From the distribution mode of the random number for determining the notice execution in the content selection table TN3, any one of “display flyer“ big sale ””, “display how the bird flies”, and “display how the plane flies” at the time of determining the big hit While the background image notice by the production contents of can be executed with the same probability, at the time of deciding off, "display flyer" big sale "" is the most easily executed, "display how birds fly", "state where airplanes fly" It is difficult to execute in the order of “Display”. In addition, the background image preview with the effect of “display flyer“ big hit ”” is not always executed at the time of losing decision, and is less likely to be executed than other background image notices even at the time of determining the big hit (this book In the embodiment, it is executed in 1/101). As described above, in the present embodiment, the background image notice based on the effect content “display flyer“ big hit ”” is a premium effect in which the big hit is confirmed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the content selection table TN4 includes a plurality of types (in this embodiment, seven types) of production contents (“display flyer“ big hit ”” and “character K3 are displayed as specific contents of the notice production. Appearance "etc.) is set. In the present embodiment, the contents of the effects of all the notice effects associated with the contents selection table TN4 include the above-described background image notice that “displays the flyer“ big hit ”” and the character notice that “character K3 appears”. This is a premium production that will be a big hit. In the present embodiment, the background image preview for “displaying the flyer“ big hit ”” and the character preview for “character K3 appears” are used as premium effects. However, other settings set in the content selection table TN4 are described. The effect contents of the notice effect may be configured to be a premium effect with a similar configuration, or may be configured to be a premium effect with other configurations. That is, in order to configure a specific notice effect as a premium effect, the ratio of the appearance rate at the time of determining the big hit (when winning the big hit in the big hit lottery) in the entire appearance rate of the specific notice effect in the symbol variation game is 100%. What is necessary is just to comprise. When the premium effect configured as described above is performed during the symbol variation game, the player can be surely grasped that the current symbol variation game is a big hit when the premium effect appears. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the player is given a sense of security that the big hit has been committed by executing the premium effect, and the player's interest is enhanced. In the content selection table TN4, a predetermined number of random numbers for selecting a notice are distributed for each effect of the notice effect.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12, in the display control ROM 31b, a selection for determining the selection number (the number of executions of premium effects) from which the display control CPU 31a selects a premium effect (effect content) from the content selection table TN4. A number determination table TK is stored. In the selection number determination table TK, for each combination of the jackpot type designated by the jackpot type designation command output from the main control CPU 30a (that is, the jackpot type determined by the main control CPU 30a) and the selected number of premium effects. In addition, a predetermined number of random numbers for selection number determination are assigned. From the distribution mode of the selection number determination random numbers in the selection number determination table TK, when 15R probability variable big hit is specified by the big hit seed designation command, the selection number is “3”, “5”, and “7” Any number is determined from “pieces”. Further, when 15R non-probable big hit is specified by the big hit type designation command, “3” is determined as the selection number. Further, when the 7R probability variable big hit is designated by the big hit type designation command, “5” is determined as the selection number.

  Next, a description will be given of the control for determining the content of the notice effect to be executed during the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command by the display control CPU 31a.

  When the display control CPU 31a inputs a special notice effect instruction command from the main control CPU 30a, in the symbol change game for the number of reserved memories designated by the special notice effect instruction command, the specific effect content (for example, the symbol change game is displayed). It is determined whether or not a notice effect such as flashing immediately after the start is executed. When the determination result is affirmative, the display control CPU 31a stores the number of reserved memories instructed by the special notice effect instruction command in the predetermined area of the display control RAM 31c as the number of notice executions, while in the case of negative determination. Does not store the number of notice executions. Further, the display control CPU 31a determines whether or not the number of notice executions is set (that is, whether or not the number of notice executions is “1” or more) when the change pattern designation command is input, and the result of the determination is In the case of affirmative determination, a specific effect content is selected as the effect content of the notice effect, and the display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so that the notice effect based on the selected specific effect content is executed during the symbol variation game. It is like that. On the other hand, when the number of advance notice executions is not set (that is, when the number of advance notice executions is “0 (zero)”), the advance notice effect with the specific effect content is not executed. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the number of times that a notice effect with a specific effect content is indicated in the number of notice executions is provided on the condition that the number of reserved memories specified by the special notice effect instruction command is plural ("2" or more). Are continuously executed across the minute symbol variation game (so-called continuous production). Each time the display control CPU 31a executes the notice effect based on the specific effect contents based on the fact that the notice execution number is set, the display control CPU 31a displays “0 (zero)” until the notice execution number becomes “0 (zero)”. 1 "is subtracted and updated.

  Further, when the display control CPU 31a inputs a special notice effect instruction command, a period in which the special notice effect can be executed by subtracting “1” from the value of the number of reserved memories indicated in the command (in the case of the symbol variation game). Is stored (set) in a predetermined area of the display control RAM 31c as a special notice value indicating the number of executions). The display control CPU 31a updates the special notice value by subtracting “1” at each timing when the symbol variation game is finished every time the symbol variation game is executed by inputting the variation pattern designation command. The process of subtracting the special notice value is continuously executed until the special notice value becomes “0 (zero)”. Therefore, when the special notice value is set in the display control RAM 31c (that is, when the special notice value is “1” or more), the start holding ball corresponding to the held symbol variation game (the held symbol) It is shown that a start holding ball (design variation game) that is a big hit is included in the variation game). On the other hand, when the special notice value is not set (that is, when the special notice value is “0 (zero)”), the start holding ball corresponding to the pending symbol variation game (the pending symbol variation) (Game) does not include a start-up holding ball (design variation game) that is a big hit. When the display control CPU 31a receives a jackpot type designation command from the main control CPU 30a, the display control CPU 31a sets information (such as a control flag) indicating the type of jackpot designated by the command in a predetermined area of the display control RAM 31c. Remember the type of jackpot.

  Further, when the display control CPU 31a receives a variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a, the display control CPU 31a executes variation pattern determination as to whether or not the variation patterns designated by the variation pattern designation command are the variation patterns P1 to P4. To do. When an affirmative determination is made in this fluctuation pattern determination, the display control CPU 31a refers to the notice table selection table TS and selects one notice table corresponding to the designated change pattern from the notice tables TA to TC.

  When a negative determination is made in the variation pattern determination (that is, when the variation pattern P5 is designated), the display control CPU 31a determines whether or not a special notice value is set in the display control RAM 31c. . When the special notice value is not set, the display control CPU 31a selects the notice table TD. When the special notice value is set, the display control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the special notice effect by lottery or the like. The display control CPU 31a selects the notice table TD when it is determined that the special notice effect cannot be executed, and selects the notice table TE when it is determined that the special notice effect can be executed. . In other words, the display control CPU 31a selects the notice table TD when the start hold ball that is a big hit is not included in the start hold ball corresponding to the held symbol variation game, while the symbol on hold is selected. When the start holding ball corresponding to the big game is included in the start holding ball corresponding to the variable game, the notice table TE is configured to be selectable. That is, the notice table TE includes a start holding ball that is a big hit in the start holding ball corresponding to the symbol variation game that is held at that time when the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative. The notice table can be selected only in the case. The content selection table TN4 associated only with the notice table TE is a case where the big hit determination result is an affirmative determination, and the big hit in the start holding ball corresponding to the symbol variation game held at that time This is a content selection table that can be selected only when the starting hold ball is included.

  The display control CPU 31a that has selected any one of the notice tables TA to TE selects any one table group from the table groups G1 to G3 associated with the selected notice table based on the value of the group selection random number. select. Then, the display control CPU 31a selects the content of the notice effect that causes the content selection table associated with the selected table group to be executed during the symbol variation game (each variation cycle) that can be identified from the designated variation pattern. Is set as a content selection table for each.

  When the notice tables TA to TD are selected, the display control CPU 31a randomly draws the contents of the notice effect to be executed during each change cycle based on the value of the notice selection random number and the set contents selection table. Select by. Then, the display control CPU 31a determines whether or not the notice effect can be executed for each content of the effect of the selected notice effect based on the value of the random number for the notice execution determination. Then, the display control CPU 31a performs the contents of the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) according to the content of the effect of the selected notice effect (including the specific effect content described above) and the determination result of whether the effect of the notice effect is executable. Control display content. For this reason, in the image display unit GH, the symbol variation game is started by the start of the variation of the decorative drawing, and the notice effect based on the selected effect content can be executed during the variation cycle.

  On the other hand, when the notice table TE is selected, the display control CPU 31a produces the notice effect to be executed during the first to third fluctuation cycles based on the value of the notice selection random number and the set content selection table. The contents are selected by lottery, and the execution of the notice effect is determined based on the value of the notice execution determination random number for each effect content of the selected notice effect. Subsequently, the display control CPU 31a determines the number of effects contents to be selected from the effects contents of the premium effects associated with the contents selection table TN4. More specifically, first, the display control CPU 31a grasps the type of jackpot designated by the jackpot type designation command input from the main control CPU 30a based on the information set in the display control RAM 31c. Then, the display control CPU 31a determines the number of effects to be selected with reference to the selection number determination table TK based on the grasped type of jackpot and the value of the selection number determination random number. The display control CPU 31a that has determined the number of selections selects, by lottery, the content of the premium effect for the selected number of selections based on the value of the random number for preliminary selection and the content selection table TN4.

  Then, the display control CPU 31a controls the display content of the image display unit GH according to the determined content of the announcement effect (including the specific effect content described above) and the execution determination result. For this reason, in the image display unit GH, after the start of the symbol variation game, the announcement effect according to the selected effect content can be executed in the first to third variation cycles. Then, after the fourth fluctuation cycle, which is a finalized effect for determining the big hit, is started, a premium effect is executed with the contents of the selected number of effects determined according to the type of the big hit specified by the big hit type designation command. . In the present embodiment, each premium effect executed during the fourth fluctuation cycle is a specific notice effect. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, starting from a situation where a premium effect is executed during the fourth fluctuation cycle, a start that becomes a big hit during a start holding ball corresponding to the symbol changing game held for the player It is possible to notify and grasp that the holding ball is included. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of jackpot given after the end of the pending symbol variation game is notified from the appearance number (execution number) of the premium effect performed in the fourth variation cycle. Can be grasped.

  More specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when three premium effects are executed during the fourth fluctuation cycle, a 15R big hit (15R probability variable big hit or 15R non-probable big hit) can be recognized. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when five premium effects are executed during the fourth variation cycle, the probability variation big hit (7R probability variation big hit or 15R probability variation big hit) after the pending symbol variation game ends. Can be recognized. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when 7 premium effects are executed during the fourth fluctuation cycle, it is recognized that a 15R probability variable jackpot is awarded after the pending symbol fluctuation game is over. obtain. For this reason, in this embodiment, for a player who understands that the current symbol variation game will be a big hit by executing a special notice effect consisting of a premium effect after the start of the fourth fluctuation cycle that is a big hit decision. It is possible to enhance the interest in other game effects performed after execution of the confirmed effect.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the display control CPU 31a functions as an effect control unit and a notification effect control unit.
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following operational effects can be achieved.

  (1) A special notice effect is executed during a symbol variation game in which a pseudo-continuous effect consisting of four fluctuation cycles, which is a final effect for determining a big hit, is executed, and the special notice effect is used to handle a pending symbol variation game. The start hold ball (design variation game) that is a big hit is included in the start hold ball to be notified. For this reason, in this embodiment, even if the final effect for finalizing the jackpot is executed, it is possible to pay more attention to the special notice effect, and the player's interest in the game effect in the symbol variation game in which the finalized effect for determining the big hit is performed. Can be increased.

  (2) In the special notice effect, the number of premium effects corresponding to the type of jackpot given after the end of the pending symbol variation game is executed. Therefore, from the number of premium effects executed as a special notice effect, the type of jackpot awarded after the end of the pending symbol variation game, which is a jackpot, in addition to the pending symbol variation game being a jackpot Can be grasped. Therefore, even if a pseudo-continuous production consisting of four fluctuation cycles, which is a finalized effect for determining the big hit, is executed, it is possible to enhance the player's interest in other game effects to be performed thereafter.

  (3) The special notice effect is composed of a premium effect with a big hit reliability of 100% (a confirmed effect for determining the big hit). In general, the premium effect is a special effect with a high degree of rarity that cannot be easily seen by the player because the appearance rate is inevitably low because it is configured as a final effect for determining the big hit. In the present embodiment, after the fourth variation cycle is started, a special notice effect by a plurality of premium effects is performed. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a satisfaction that a plurality of premium effects can be seen in addition to the satisfaction that the “big hit is confirmed”.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted or simplified.

  In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 31a grasps the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game from the special chart instructed by the special symbol designation command input from the main control CPU 30a, and the grasped jackpot This is different from the first embodiment in that it is configured to determine the number of premium effects to be executed as special notice effects according to the type of the item. Details will be described below.

  When the variation pattern P5 is designated by the variation pattern designation command, the display control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the special notice effect by lottery or the like. The display control CPU 31a selects the notice table TD when it is determined that the special notice effect cannot be executed, and selects the notice table TE when it is determined that the special notice effect is executable. The display control CPU 31a that has selected the notice table TE selects any one table group by lottery based on the value of the group selection random number from among the table groups G1 to G3 associated with the selected notice table TE. .

  Then, the display control CPU 31a that has determined the content of the notice effect to be executed during the first to third fluctuation cycles and whether or not to execute the effect is selected from the contents of the premium effect associated with the content selection table TN4. Determine the number of selections. More specifically, first, the display control CPU 31a specifies the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game based on the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. That is, the CPU 31a for display control displays a 15R probability variable big hit when the special figure A is designated, a 15R non-probable big hit when the special figure B is designated, and 7R when the special figure C is designated. The probability variation jackpot is grasped as the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game. Then, the display control CPU 31a determines the number of effects to be selected with reference to the selection number determination table TK based on the grasped type of jackpot and the value of the selection number determination random number. Then, the display control CPU 31a, which has determined the selected number, selects the effect contents of the premium effect for the selected selected number by lottery based on the value of the preliminary selection random number and the content selection table TN4. Then, the display control CPU 31a controls the display content of the image display unit GH according to the determined content of the notice effect and the execution determination result. For this reason, in the present embodiment, after the fourth fluctuation cycle, which is the final effect for determining the big hit, is started, the selected number determined in accordance with the type of the big hit given after the end of the current symbol changing game. Premium production based on production content is executed.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the following operational effects can be obtained in addition to the operational effect (3) described in the first embodiment.
(4) A special notice effect is executed during a symbol variation game in which a pseudo continuous effect consisting of four fluctuation cycles, which is a final effect for determining a big hit, is executed, and after the current symbol variation game is ended by the special notice effect. Announcing the type of jackpot granted. For this reason, in this embodiment, even if the final effect for finalizing the jackpot is executed, it is possible to pay more attention to the special notice effect, and the player's interest in the game effect in the symbol variation game in which the finalized effect for determining the big hit is performed. Can be increased.

  (5) In the special notice effect, the number of premium effects corresponding to the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game is executed. For this reason, it becomes possible to grasp the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game from the number of premium effects executed as the special notice effect. Therefore, even if a pseudo-continuous production consisting of four fluctuation cycles, which is a finalized effect for determining the big hit, is executed, it is possible to enhance the player's interest in other game effects to be performed thereafter.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment embodying the present invention will be described.
In the present embodiment, in addition to the pseudo continuous effect consisting of 1 to 4 fluctuation cycles, the pseudo continuous effect consisting of 5 and 6 fluctuation cycles can be executed. In this embodiment, the pseudo-continuous production consisting of four to six fluctuation cycles exceeding the three fluctuation cycles, which is the specified number of times, is a final effect for determining the big hit as in the first and second embodiments. It is positioned. In the third embodiment, a game effect that is executed as a fluctuation cycle that exceeds the fluctuation cycle for the specified number of times after execution of the fluctuation cycle for the specified number of times (three times in the present embodiment) is used as the notification effect. It is to be executed as a special notice production. This will be described in detail below.

  In addition to the above-described variation patterns P1 to P5, the main control ROM 30b of the main control board 30 further varies as a variation pattern for the big hit effect that can be selected only when the big hit is determined (when the big hit is won by the big hit lottery). A pattern P6 and a variation pattern P7 are prepared. The fluctuation pattern P6 is a fluctuation pattern in which a pseudo continuous effect including five fluctuation cycles is performed, a predetermined reach state is formed during the fifth fluctuation cycle, and a reach effect is performed. The variation pattern P7 is a variation pattern in which a pseudo continuous effect including six variation cycles is performed, and a predetermined reach state is formed during the sixth variation cycle and a reach effect is performed.

  If the main control CPU 30a makes a positive determination in the jackpot determination performed immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a determines a jackpot symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a determines (specifies) the type of jackpot to be given after the end of the current symbol variation game from the determined jackpot symbol (special symbol).

  When the type of jackpot determined from the jackpot symbol (special figure) is 15R probability variation jackpot, the main control CPU 30a includes the variation pattern P2B, the variation pattern P3B, the variation pattern P4B, and the variation among the variation patterns for the big hit effect. One variation pattern is determined from the patterns P5 to P7. When the type of jackpot determined from the jackpot symbol (special chart) is 15R uncertain variable jackpot, the main control CPU 30a includes the variation pattern P2B, the variation pattern P3B, the variation pattern P4B among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect. One variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns P5. When the type of jackpot determined from the jackpot symbol (special figure) is 7R probability variation jackpot, the main control CPU 30a includes the variation pattern P2B, the variation pattern P3B, the variation pattern P4B, and the variation among the variation patterns for the big hit effect. One variation pattern is determined from the pattern P6.

  With such a configuration, the main control CPU 30a uses the variation patterns P5 to P7 that specify the pseudo-continuous effect that becomes the finalized effect of determining the big hit when the big hit given after the end of the current symbol variable game is a 15R probability variable big hit. Either can be selected. Further, the main control CPU 30a can select the variation pattern P5, but does not select the variation pattern P6 and the variation pattern P7, when the jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game is a 15R non-probable variation big hit. Further, the main control CPU 30a can select the variation pattern P6, but does not select the variation pattern P5 and the variation pattern P7, when the jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game is a 7R probability variation big hit. ing.

  The display control CPU 31a (display control board 31), which has input the variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a, produces specific presentation contents (such as the above-mentioned announcement contents of the notice presentation stage) based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled so that the display effect is executed with the determined effect content. For example, when the variation pattern P7 is designated, the display control CPU 31a selects the content of the announcement effect to be executed in each of the 6 fluctuation cycles and determines whether or not the announcement effect can be executed, and the selected announcement effect. The display content of the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) is controlled in accordance with the effect content and the determination result of the execution feasibility determination. For this reason, in the image display unit GH, the symbol variation game is started by the start of the variation of the decorative drawing, and the notice effect based on the selected effect content can be executed during the variation cycle.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, from the number of fluctuation cycles executed after the execution of the fluctuation cycle for the specified number of times (three times in the present embodiment), after the end of the current symbol fluctuation game. The player can be notified of the types of jackpots to be given and can be grasped. That is, in the quasi-continuous production consisting of four fluctuation cycles based on the fluctuation pattern P5, only one fluctuation cycle (fourth fluctuation cycle) is executed after the prescribed number of fluctuation cycles. It can be understood that the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game is 15R jackpot (either 15R probability variable jackpot or 15R non-probable bonus jackpot). In addition, in the pseudo continuous production consisting of five fluctuation cycles based on the fluctuation pattern P6, only two fluctuation cycles (fourth and fifth fluctuation cycles) are executed after the prescribed number of fluctuation cycles have been executed. Thus, it is possible to grasp that the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game is a probability variation jackpot (either 15R probability variation jackpot or 7R probability variation jackpot). In addition, in the pseudo continuous production composed of six fluctuation cycles based on the fluctuation pattern P7, three fluctuation cycles (fourth to sixth fluctuation cycles) are executed after the prescribed number of fluctuation cycles have been executed. Thus, it can be understood that the type of jackpot given after the end of the current symbol variation game is a 15R probability variation jackpot. For this reason, in this embodiment, even when a pseudo-continuous production consisting of four or more fluctuating cycles in which the jackpot is determined is executed, the specified number of times is set according to the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game. By changing the number of executions of the surplus fluctuation cycle, the type of jackpot can be notified, and the interest of other game effects can be enhanced for the player who grasps that the current symbol variation game will be a big hit.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(6) Among a plurality of types of pseudo-continuous productions consisting of one fluctuation cycle to six fluctuation cycles, a pseudo-continuous production consisting of a number of fluctuation cycles exceeding the specified number of times (3 times in the present embodiment) It is executed as a finalized effect for confirmation, and after the prescribed number of fluctuation cycles, the number of fluctuation cycles corresponding to the type of jackpot is executed. For this reason, in this embodiment, after the execution of the fluctuation cycle for the specified number of times, the player can grasp the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol fluctuation game from the number of fluctuation cycles executed continuously. Can do. For this reason, in the present embodiment, even if a pseudo continuous effect comprising four or more fluctuating cycles in which a big hit is determined is executed, the player's interest in other game effects can be enhanced. In other words, in the present embodiment, even when the final effect for determining the big hit is executed, it is possible to focus on the special notice effect that forms a part of the pseudo-continuous effect. It is possible to enhance the player's interest in game production.

  (7) In the present embodiment, the big hit reliability increases every time the fluctuating cycle is executed in the pseudo-continuous performance, and the big hit is determined by the number of fluctuating cycles exceeding the specified number, and further continuously Every time the fluctuating cycle is executed, it is notified that a more advantageous big hit is given, such as “15R big hit” → “probable big hit” → “15R positive big hit”. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to notify up to the type of jackpot in the pseudo-continuous production, and it is possible to provide a game production that is easier for the player to understand.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.

  In the first embodiment, at the time of winning detection, the special announcement effect execution determination is performed by comparing the value of the jackpot determination random number read when the winning detection is detected with the special advance notification determination value. The special notice effect execution determination may be performed. For example, when the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot and determines the fluctuation pattern P5, all the jackpot determination random numbers and special notice determination values stored in the main control RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number Are compared to determine whether or not the symbol variation game that is on hold includes the big hit symbol variation game. When the symbol variation game on hold includes the symbol variation game of the big hit, a control command indicating that the special notice effect can be executed is output to the display control CPU 31a, and the display control CPU 31a indicates the variation pattern P5. What is necessary is just to comprise so that a special notice effect may be performed on condition (trigger) that the control command which shows execution possibility of a special notice effect is input with the change pattern designation | designated command. Even if configured in this way, even if a pseudo-continuous production consisting of four fluctuation cycles, which is a finalizing effect for determining the big hit, is executed, it is possible to pay attention to the special notice effect, and the finalizing effect for determining the big hit is performed. It is possible to increase the interest of the player with respect to the game effect in the symbol variation game.
