When a variation pattern command corresponding to the specified holding ball random number is a ready-to-win state command, the performance correction means determines to display the notice performance of high reliability in addition to a ready-to-win state performance in the game based on the specified holding ball random number.

Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game.

  In general, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol in a game area in the game board, an effect display device that displays a predetermined effect, and a special winning opening (starting port) that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol. ), Etc., and when a game ball launched toward the game area wins the special winning opening, an electronic lottery related to the special symbol is performed and the special symbol is changed on the special symbol display device. The result of the electronic lottery is notified by displaying the mode of stopping. If the result of the electronic lottery is a big win, the special symbol indicating the big win is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device, and the jackpot gaming state advantageous to the player is entered. In this jackpot game state, the game ball enters the big winning opening that is exposed by opening and closing the attacker device a predetermined number of times, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  In addition, when a game ball wins a specific winning slot while the special symbol is changing, a reserved ball random number storage unit (with a predetermined number (for example, four) as an upper limit of a predetermined number (for example, four) as a reserved ball random number Memory). When the special symbol related to the current game stops and the result of the electronic lottery is finalized, the stored ball random numbers stored in the stored ball random number storage unit are sequentially read out and the hit of the held ball random numbers is determined, The result is displayed by changing and stopping the special symbol, and the game based on the reserved ball random number is advanced.

  In the period from when the special symbol is changed to when it is stopped, various types of effects are usually displayed (such as variable display using effects symbols or effects symbols). Although the player enjoys the game with a thirst for the display of the mode, since the fun gradually disappears when the same display is viewed many times, in recent years, a more sophisticated display mode has been devised. Yes. More specifically, the effects during the special symbol change were related to the current game, but were stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit while the game was being played. There is an effect that a notice is given in advance (so-called pre-reading effect) in advance of information suggesting whether the reserved ball random number is a win or a loss.

  For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a determination of jackpot is also made for a holding ball other than the holding ball related to symbol variation, and the display of the holding ball when the jackpot is different from the display of other holding balls. In this way, a technique for displaying a notice of a big hit is known. According to such known technology, it is possible to know in advance which holding ball is a big hit, so when a notice is displayed, the order of the game based on the random number stored on hold will come around. Meanwhile, the player can enjoy the game while expecting.

  Furthermore, in Patent Document 2, the information on the reserved ball random number is transmitted to the sub-board prior to the start of the game, and if the winning hold is stored, the data of the effect related to the holding of the previous loss is stored. There has also been disclosed a technique for rewriting and performing a notice effect straddling a hold from a hold of a loss to a hold of a hit. According to such a known technique, a notice effect can be made across the hold, so that the player can maintain a sense of expectation in the game related to the hold ball.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-243224 (page 14, FIG. 49, etc.) JP 2002-52194 A (paragraphs 0017, 0026, etc.)

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, although there is an advantage that it is possible to predict which holding ball is a jackpot, for the holding balls other than the holding ball for which the jackpot notice is displayed, I can't expect any jackpot. Therefore, the interest in the game is lost until the game order based on the reserved ball on which the notice is displayed turns. In other words, a game based on a holding ball other than the holding ball on which the jackpot notice is displayed has only the meaning of a waiting time until it becomes a big hit, and the game has no fun for the player.

  On the other hand, the technique described in Patent Document 2 has an advantage that a certain expectation can be expected in the game from the previous hold to the big hit hold because the notice effect over the hold can be performed. However, even if a notice effect is made for suspending a lost game, a reach effect (one effect symbol is left out of a plurality of effect symbols and all the effect symbols are stopped at the same symbol, and the remaining one effect symbol is displayed. If the stop effect) is not executed, the interest and expectation of the game related to the loss hold will be reduced at a stretch. That is, in a pachinko machine, a reach effect is always performed in order to be a big hit, and the fact that the reach effect is not performed means that the game is lost. Therefore, even if a notice effect is displayed, a player who knows that a reach effect is not displayed will immediately understand that the game in which the notice effect is displayed is a loss, so his interest and expectation for the game Is no longer held.

  In this case, even if a notice effect spanning from the loss hold to the hit hold is made, it is difficult to maintain interest in a game other than the game related to the hit hold. In particular, an experienced player cannot maintain the expectation other than the game related to the hit-holding, so that the willingness to play the game is also reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is not to lower the game's expectation for what is stored as a reserved ball random number prior to a big hit reserved ball random number. The purpose is to provide a pachinko machine.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, an effect display device for displaying effects related to a game, and the start In response to the winning of a game ball in the mouth, a main control processing unit that controls the game by performing an electronic lottery related to a special symbol, and receives a command from the main control processing unit to display the effect display device. A sub-control processing unit for controlling, and the main control processing unit is a means for performing electronic lottery, a special symbol random number generating means for generating a special symbol random number, and the special symbol random number generation Special symbol random number acquisition means for acquiring one random number among the special symbol random numbers generated by the means when the game ball has won at the start opening, for the special symbol acquired by the special symbol random number acquisition means Large random numbers A special symbol success / failure determining means for determining whether or not the game is based on the special symbol random number and a special symbol random number acquired by the special symbol random number acquiring means An electronic lottery means configured to include a reserved ball random number storage unit that sequentially stores as a reserved ball random number up to the upper limit of the number, and the special symbol random number acquiring unit acquires the special symbol each time it acquires the special symbol random number A variation pattern command determining means for determining a variation pattern command corresponding to a random number for the game, and a jackpot game control for providing a jackpot game advantageous to the player as compared to a normal game when the lottery result by the electronic lottery means is a jackpot And the sub control processing unit stores an effect mode storage unit in which a plurality of types of effect modes are stored in association with the variation pattern command in advance. The effect mode determining means for determining the effect mode to be displayed on the effect display device from the effect modes associated with the variation pattern command determined by the change pattern command determining means when starting the game, and the effect mode In a pachinko machine including an effect display control means for controlling the effect mode determined by the determining means to be displayed on the effect display device, the main control processing unit stores the reserved ball random number storage unit. Pre-reading determination means for determining whether or not the reserved ball random number is a big hit before the game based on the reserved ball random number starts is provided, and the sub-control processing unit is a big hit by the pre-read determining means Providing an effect correcting means for correcting an effect on the specific reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit earlier than the determined reserved ball random number; In the effect mode storage unit, an overall effect storage unit in which an aspect of the entire effect performed over the entire game is stored in the effect mode, and a part of one game in the effect mode. A partial effect storage unit storing a mode of the partial effect to be performed, and the overall effect storage unit leaves one effect symbol out of a plurality of effect symbols and after all the effect symbols stop at the same symbol A plurality of types of overall effects including a reach effect where the remaining one effect symbol stops is stored in advance in association with the variation pattern command, and the partial effect storage unit is a partial effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit. A plurality of types of partial effect modes including a low-reliability partial effect that is less likely to be a big hit and a high-reliability partial effect that is more likely to be a big hit than the low-reliability partial effect. If the variation pattern command corresponding to the specific reserved ball random number is a reach command associated with the reach effect, the effect correcting means (corresponds to the reach command). ) In the game based on the specific reserved ball random number (when the game is started), it is determined to additionally display the high-reliability partial effect on the effect display device, and the effect display control means In response to the determination, in the game based on the specific reserved ball random number, in addition to the reach effect determined by the effect mode determining means, control to display the high-reliability partial effect on the effect display device; did.

  In the present invention, when there is a specific reserved sphere random number stored in the reserved sphere random number storage means before the reserved sphere random number determined by the prefetch determination means as a big hit, the variation pattern corresponding to this specific reserved sphere random number On the condition that the command is a reach command, the effect correcting means additionally displays a high-reliability partial effect on the effect display device at the start of the game based on the specific reserved ball random number for which the reach command is determined. decide. The effect display control means that has received this determination displays a highly reliable partial effect in addition to the reach effect based on the reach command in the game based on the specific reserved ball random number.

  In other words, the present invention displays the high-reliability partial effect only for the specific reserved ball random number for which the reach effect is performed among the specific reserved ball random numbers stored prior to the reserved ball random number determined to be a big hit. It is. Therefore, when a game related to the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit is performed and a high-reliability partial effect is displayed on the effect display device in addition to the reach effect, the player In addition to being able to enjoy the game with great expectation that it may be a big hit, even if it is lost in this game, the fact that the highly reliable partial production is displayed in addition to the reach production is pending The expectation of the game with respect to the remaining reserved ball random numbers will be sustained from the expectation that there is a ball random number determined as a big hit by the prefetch determination means.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the high-reliability partial performance is performed only for the game with the possibility of a big hit, that is, the game where the reach production is performed. The situation of decline is eliminated. Moreover, the possibility of a big hit with the remaining reserved ball random numbers can be suggested by displaying the high-reliability effect.

  Here, the “variation pattern command” of the present invention is a command used to determine an effect mode (variation display mode using an effect symbol), and specifically, determines an overall effect mode. And a command for determining the mode of the partial effect. This variation pattern command is determined with reference to the random number when one special symbol random number is acquired. That is, when a game ball wins at the start opening, one variation pattern command is determined based on the win. In addition, when the acquired special symbol random number is stored as a reserved ball random number, the reserved ball random number is stored based on the fact that the game ball has won a prize at the starting port, so the reserved ball random number One variation pattern command corresponding to is determined.

  For example, in the case where the overall production mode includes a different production time (fluctuation time of the production symbol) or a production with different production contents, a command indicating that the time used as the production is 60 seconds, A command (reach command) or the like indicating that the current effect is a reach effect is a command for determining an aspect of the overall effect, and thus corresponds to the variation pattern command of the present invention. In addition, when various notice effects are prepared according to the degree of possibility of jackpot (reliability) in the partial effect mode, this notice effect is designated as a highly reliable highly reliable notice effect. Since the command for instructing is a command for determining the mode of partial effects, it corresponds to the variation pattern command of the present invention. Note that the command for determining the mode of the partial effect includes a command indicating that the partial effect is not performed.

  Further, in the present invention, the “time when the game is started” is synonymous with the time when the change of the special symbol starts. “Before the game is started” is synonymous with the time before the change of the special symbol is started, but more specifically, when the special ball is changing, the game ball wins the start opening. From the time when the special symbol random number acquisition means acquires the special symbol random number, the random number is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit as the reserved ball random number, and the variation of the special symbol in the game related to the reserved ball random number is started. Say the previous period.

  Further, in the above configuration, when there is a special variation pattern command including the reach command and the command associated with the low reliability partial effect in the variation pattern command corresponding to the specific reserved ball random number In other words, it is preferable that the effect display control means performs control so that the low reliability partial effect corresponding to the special variation pattern command is not displayed on the effect display device.

  In the present invention, when there is a holding ball random number determined to be a big hit, among the specific holding ball random numbers stored earlier than the holding ball random number, based on the specific holding ball random number for which the reach effect is performed In the game, a high-reliability partial effect is displayed in addition to the reach effect. However, in some cases, a command indicating that the low-reliability partial effect is performed is included as the variation pattern command corresponding to the specific reserved ball random number for which the reach effect is performed. That is, in addition to the effect based on the variation pattern command “with reach + low reliability partial effect”, there is a case where a high reliability partial effect is sometimes performed. In this case, if both the low-reliability partial effect and the high-reliability partial effect are displayed on the effect display device, it becomes ambiguous whether the possibility of a big hit is high or low, and the low-reliability partial effect and the high reliability The inconvenience that the meaning of having distinguished the partial performance from the level of the big hit is lost.

  Therefore, according to the above configuration, when the high-reliability partial effect is displayed, the effect display control unit controls not to display the low-reliability partial effect. It will be resolved.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to another invention, a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and an effect display device for displaying an effect related to the game, A main control processing unit for controlling the game by performing electronic lottery related to the special symbol in response to the winning of the game ball at the start opening, and receiving the command from the main control processing unit, the effect display device A special control random number generating means for generating a random number for a special symbol, which is a means for performing electronic lottery, and the special control One random number for special symbol generated by the random number generating unit for special symbol is acquired by the special symbol random number acquiring unit for acquiring one random number when the game ball is won at the starting port. Special design A special symbol random number determining means for determining whether or not the random number is a jackpot (when the game based on the special symbol random number is started), and the special symbol random number acquired by the special symbol random number acquiring means. The electronic lottery means configured to include a reserved ball random number storage unit that sequentially stores as a reserved ball random number up to a predetermined upper limit, and the special symbol random number acquiring unit acquires the special symbol random number each time A variation pattern command determining means for determining a variation pattern command corresponding to a special symbol random number, and a jackpot that provides a jackpot game that is advantageous to the player as compared to a normal game when the lottery result by the electronic lottery means is a jackpot A game control means, and the sub-control processing unit stores a plurality of types of effects in association with the variation pattern commands stored in advance. And an effect mode determining means for determining an effect mode to be displayed on the effect display device from among the effect modes associated with the change pattern command determined by the change pattern command determining means when the game is started. In the pachinko machine including the effect display control means for controlling the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining means to be displayed on the effect display device, the main control processing unit, the reserved ball random number storage unit, A pre-read determination unit is provided for determining whether or not the stored ball random number is a big hit before the game based on the ball random number starts. When it is determined that the big hit is determined by the prefetch determination means, the specific stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit prior to the reserved ball random number determined as the big hit An effect correction means for correcting an effect on the reserved ball random number, and a variation pattern command storage unit that stores a variation pattern command corresponding to the specific reserved ball random number until a game based on the specific reserved ball random number is started. Provided, in the effect mode storage unit, the overall effect storage unit in which the mode of the overall effect performed over the entire game of the one game is stored, and the game of one game in the effect mode. A partial effect storage unit that stores a partial effect mode performed in part, and the overall effect storage unit leaves one effect symbol out of a plurality of effect symbols and all the effect symbols stop at the same symbol After that, a plurality of types of overall effects including a reach effect in which the remaining one effect symbol stops are stored in advance in association with the variation pattern command, and the partial effect storage unit can make a big hit A plurality of types of partial effects including a low-reliability partial effect that suggests a low-reliability and a high-reliability partial effect that is more likely to be a big hit than the low-reliability partial effect Is stored in association with the variation pattern command in advance, and the variation pattern command determining means determines a variation pattern command including the command related to the overall effect mode and the command related to the partial effect mode. If the command related to the aspect of the overall effect is a reach command associated with the reach effect in the change pattern command stored in the change pattern command storage unit, the effect correction The means forcing the command related to the aspect of the partial effect to the variation pattern command including the reach command. The variation is stored in the variation pattern command storage unit when the game based on the specific reserved ball random number is started. The effect mode is determined based on the pattern command.

  In the present invention, when there is a specific reserved sphere random number stored in the reserved sphere random number storage means before the reserved sphere random number determined by the prefetch determination means as a big hit, the variation pattern corresponding to this specific reserved sphere random number On the condition that the command is a reach command, the effect correcting means corrects the variation pattern command including the reach command. Specifically, the effect correction means forcibly corrects the command related to the partial effect mode of the variation pattern command to a command for performing the highly reliable partial effect. In other words, when the command related to the partial effect is a command indicating that the partial effect is not performed, the effect correcting unit rewrites the command to a command indicating that the highly reliable partial effect is performed. Similarly, when a command for performing a low-reliability partial effect has been determined, the effect correction unit rewrites the command with a command for performing a high-reliability partial effect.

  Then, when the game based on the specific reserved ball random number is started, the production mode determining means determines the production mode based on the variation pattern command stored in the variation pattern command storage unit, but the variation pattern command is a reach command. In this game, in addition to the reach effect, in this game, the high-reliability is added because the command related to the partial effect of the variation pattern command has already been rewritten by the effect correction means. The partial effect is also displayed on the effect display device.

  That is, in another invention, among the specific reserved ball random numbers stored prior to the reserved ball random number determined to be a big hit, the high-reliability partial effect is applied only to the specific reserved ball random number for which the reach effect is performed. Will be displayed. Therefore, when a game related to the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit is performed and a high-reliability partial effect is displayed on the effect display device in addition to the reach effect, the player In addition to being able to enjoy the game with great expectation that it may be a big hit, even if it is lost in this game, the fact that the highly reliable partial production is displayed in addition to the reach production is pending The expectation of the game with respect to the remaining reserved ball random numbers will be sustained from the expectation that there is a ball random number determined as a big hit by the prefetch determination means.

  As described above, even with another invention, a high-reliability partial performance is performed only for a game that is likely to be a big hit, that is, a game where a reach effect is performed, so there is a sense of expectation for the game at once. In addition to eliminating the situation of the decline, it is possible to indicate the possibility of a big hit with the remaining reserved ball random numbers by displaying the high reliability presentation.

  Here, the “variation pattern command” of the present invention is a command used to determine an effect mode (variation display mode using an effect symbol), and specifically, determines an overall effect mode. And a command for determining the mode of the partial effect. This variation pattern command is determined with reference to the random number when one special symbol random number is acquired. That is, when a game ball wins at the start opening, one variation pattern command is determined based on the win. In addition, when the acquired special symbol random number is stored as a reserved ball random number, the reserved ball random number is stored based on the fact that the game ball has won a prize at the starting port, so the reserved ball random number One variation pattern command corresponding to is determined.

  For example, in the case where the overall production mode includes a different production time (fluctuation time of the production symbol) or a production with different production contents, a command indicating that the time used as the production is 60 seconds, A command (reach command) or the like indicating that the current effect is a reach effect is a command for determining an aspect of the overall effect, and thus corresponds to the variation pattern command of the present invention. In addition, when various notice effects are prepared according to the degree of possibility of jackpot (reliability) in the partial effect mode, this notice effect is designated as a highly reliable highly reliable notice effect. Since the command for instructing is a command for determining the mode of partial effects, it corresponds to the variation pattern command of the present invention. Note that the command for determining the mode of the partial effect includes a command indicating that the partial effect is not performed.

  Further, in the present invention, the “time when the game is started” is synonymous with the time when the change of the special symbol starts. “Before the game is started” is synonymous with the time before the change of the special symbol is started, but more specifically, when the special ball is changing, the game ball wins the start opening. From the time when the special symbol random number acquisition means acquires the special symbol random number, the random number is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit as the reserved ball random number, and the variation of the special symbol in the game related to the reserved ball random number is started. Say the previous period.

  Moreover, the said structure WHEREIN: It is preferable that the said production | presentation display control means is provided with the partial production | presentation display time lottery means for determining the timing which displays the said highly reliable partial production | generation on the said production | presentation display apparatus by lottery. According to this configuration, since the display timing of the high-reliability partial effect can be changed, the variation of the effect is increased, and the fun of the game is further increased.

  According to the present invention, even in a game based on a reserved ball random number stored before a big hitting ball random number, a high-reliability partial effect is displayed only for a game where a reach effect is performed. Therefore, the expectation of the game with respect to what is stored as the reserved ball random number earlier than the reserved ball random number that is a big hit is not reduced. In addition, if a high-reliability partial effect is displayed during a reach effect, the expectation of the jackpot in that game will increase, and even if the game loses, there may be a big hit in the reserved ball random number The excellent effect that the expectation that it is not possible can be sustained will be exhibited.

When the CPU reads and executes various programs and data stored in the ROM, main processing relating to the game is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a special symbol lottery unit (electronic lottery means) 110 that performs electronic lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37, and this special symbol lottery A special symbol determination unit 120 that determines a special symbol according to the lottery result determined by the unit 110, a variation pattern command determination unit (variation pattern command determination means) 140 for determining a variation pattern command, and a reserved ball random number is a big hit If the lottery result judgment by the special symbol lottery unit 110 and the special symbol lottery unit 110 is a big hit, the attacker device 41 (solenoid thereof) is operated to make a big hit game The jackpot game control unit (the jackpot game control means) 160 to be transferred and the normal symbol according to the passing of the game ball through the through chucker 21 A normal symbol lottery unit 170 performs child drawing, the main control unit 11 and an electric tulip operation control unit 180 that controls the operation of the electric tulip 49 is configured.

  The special symbol lottery unit 110 generates a random number for a special symbol that generates a software random number by updating the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). (When the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43 is input to the main control processing unit 11) A special symbol random number acquisition unit (special symbol random number acquisition means) 112 that acquires (latches) one random number, and a special symbol determination table that indicates whether or not the random number acquired by the special symbol random number acquisition unit 112 is a big hit 114, the special symbol determination unit (special symbol determination unit) 113 and the special symbol random number acquisition unit 112 that determine the random number are acquired, and the special symbol is changing. If that includes pending ball random number memory unit 115 for storing up to four the acquired random number as reserved sphere random, the.

  Further, the variation pattern command determination unit 140 includes a variation pattern random number lottery unit 130 that performs a lottery process of variation pattern random numbers used for determining a variation pattern command. As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation pattern random number lottery unit 130 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Based on the random number generator 131 for the variation pattern that generates the software random number and the winning ball 37 winning the game ball (the timing when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43 is input to the main control processing unit 11 And a variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132 that acquires (latches) one random number, and a variation pattern random number storage unit 134 that stores the random number acquired by the variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132.

  The variation pattern command determination unit 140 determines a variation pattern command used to determine an effect mode to be displayed on the effect display device 34 based on the variation pattern random number acquired by the variation pattern random number lottery unit 130. Specifically, the command including the presence / absence of the notice effect (partial effect), the content of the notice effect, and the pattern of the overall effect (including the presence / absence of reach and the variation time) is determined. For example, as the variation pattern command, a command with a content such as “High-reliability notice effect + reach + change time (effect time) 120 seconds” is determined. When this command is received, the production mode determination unit 210 selects the high-reliability notice and the production with reach from the notice production and the overall production shown in FIG. 7, which will be described later.

  The variation pattern command determination unit 140 determines that the special symbol random number acquired by the special symbol random number acquisition unit 112 is a specific random number (consisting of several random numbers including a jackpot random number). The command “high reliability notice” is determined so that the notice effect E and the notice effect F are selected, and the effect pattern I (120 seconds) and effect pattern J (120 seconds) having a long effect time are determined. As selected, the probability of determining the command “with reach + variation time 120 seconds” as the variation pattern command is high. In other words, when a specific random number is acquired, the variation pattern command based on the variation pattern random number is set so that “high-reliability notice effect + reach + variation time 120 seconds” is determined with high probability. It is. Therefore, when the notice effect E or the notice effect F is displayed and the effect patterns I and J are displayed, the player can predict that the possibility of a big hit is high.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the random number for the variation pattern is acquired at the timing when the game ball wins the start winning opening 37. When a game starts immediately after winning, the variation pattern command is determined based on the variation pattern random number. However, since the special symbol is changing during the winning, when the special symbol random number acquired based on the winning is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 as the reserved ball random number, it is acquired at the timing of the winning. The variation pattern random number is stored in the variation pattern random number storage unit 134. When the game based on the reserved ball random number is started, the variation pattern command determining unit 140 determines the variation pattern command based on the stored variation pattern random number.

  Next, the prefetch determination unit 150 determines whether or not the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 is a big hit before the game based on the reserved ball random number starts. Is performed at the time when it is stored as the reserved ball random number in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 (it can also be said that the game ball is won at the start winning opening 37). Note that the special symbol determination table 114 is also referred to when the prefetch determination unit 150 determines a jackpot. The result determined by the prefetch determination unit 150 is immediately transmitted as a command to the effect control processing unit 12a.

  The jackpot game control unit 160 controls the attacker device 41 to be opened and closed by a predetermined number of rounds according to the type of jackpot. Further, the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is triggered by the fact that the game ball has passed through the through-chucker 21 and the normal symbol random number generator having the same configuration as the number of random numbers generated by the special symbol random number generator 111. The normal symbol random number acquiring unit that acquires (latches) one random number (at the timing when the detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11), and the normal symbol random number acquiring unit acquires If the normal symbol is changing when the normal symbol random number acquisition unit and the normal symbol random number acquisition unit acquire random numbers, the normal symbol determination table that determines whether or not the random number is per normal symbol And a normal symbol reserved ball random number storage unit for storing the acquired random number as a normal symbol reserved ball random number. In addition, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 to open and close based on a command won per normal symbol by the electronic lottery by the normal symbol lottery unit 170.

  Next, a sub control processing unit that receives various commands (commands) from the main control processing unit 11 and controls various devices will be described. An effect control processing unit 12a, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, and a normal symbol display control unit 12f constituting the sub control processing unit are provided on the back surface of the game board 3 with support members and the like. Is a device that controls the effect display device 34, the speaker 20, and other effect devices (such as LED devices) in accordance with the processing information generated by the main control processing unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the effect control processing unit 12 a serves as an effect mode determining unit (effect mode determining unit) 210 for determining an effect mode, and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 as a processing unit. An effect display control unit (effect display control means) 220 that controls display on the effect display device 34, and the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 that stores the reserved ball random number determined to be a big hit by the prefetch determination unit 150 And an effect correcting unit (effect correcting means) 230 for correcting the effect on the specified reserved ball random number. In addition, the effect control processing unit 12a serves as a storage unit, an effect mode storage unit 260 in which a plurality of types of effect modes are stored, and a prefetching jackpot set when the prefetch determination unit 150 determines that the reserved ball random number is a big hit. A pre-read jackpot flag storage unit 280 for storing the flag until a game based on the reserved ball random number determined to be a jackpot starts.

  The effect mode storage unit 260 stores an overall effect storage unit 261 that stores an aspect of the overall effect performed over the entire game and a mode of partial effect performed in a part of the game. A notice effect storage unit (partial effect storage unit) 262 is provided, and various effect modes are stored. Specifically, the overall effect storage unit 261 stores 10 patterns of effect patterns A to J as patterns of the overall effect. Production patterns A and B are production contents in which variation time (production time) is performed for 5 seconds without reach, production patterns C and D are production contents performed for 20 seconds with reach, production patterns E and F are with reach Production contents performed for 40 seconds, production patterns G and H are production contents performed for 60 seconds with reach, and production patterns I and J are production contents performed for 120 seconds with reach. The notice effect storage unit 262 stores six patterns A to F as notice effects (partial effects), and the notice effects A and B are low-reliability notices indicating that the likelihood of a big hit is low. The notice effects C and D are medium-reliability notices with a medium probability of jackpot, and the notice effects E and F are highly reliable notices with a high probability of jackpot.

  Next, the effect mode determination unit 210 is for determining the effect mode used for the game based on the variation pattern command determined by the variation pattern command determination unit 140 at the start of the game, as shown in FIG. As described above, the effect mode to be performed in the current game is determined based on the variation pattern command from among the plurality of effect modes. For example, when the variation pattern command is a command for instructing “with high reliability notification + reach + effect time 120 seconds”, the effect mode determination unit 210 receives the command, and the notification effect storage unit Select either the highly reliable notice effect E or F stored in H.262, select either the effect pattern I or J stored in the overall effect storage unit 261, and this effect For example, the effect mode of “notice effect F + effect pattern J” is determined.

  In addition, the effect display control unit 220 controls the effect display device 34 to display the overall effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 at the same time when the game is started. In the above example, since the effect pattern J is determined, the effect pattern J is displayed with the start of the game, and after 120 seconds, the effect display control unit 220 stops the display of this effect pattern J. Controls display. In the present embodiment, the effect display control unit 220 includes a notice effect display timing lottery unit (partial effect display time lottery means) 221. The notice effect display timing lottery unit 221 operates when it is determined to display a highly reliable notice in a game to be performed this time, and is used to determine the timing for displaying the highly reliable notice by lottery. . More specifically, when the later-described effect correcting unit 230 displays a high-reliability notice effect (high-reliability partial effect) in this game, that is, as a result of the determination by the prefetch determination unit 150, It is determined that the random number has a jackpot (the prefetch jackpot flag storage unit 280 stores the prefetch jackpot flag), and is stored as a holding ball random number, and the game variation pattern command in the order to be performed this time has “reach” When the effect correcting unit 230 determines to display the highly reliable notice effect, the notice effect display timing lottery part 221 determines when to display the highly reliable notice. It is decided by lottery. This timing lottery is performed by selecting one from predetermined display times (display timings). Specifically, at the start of the game, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 15 seconds after the game starts. One of the four timings is determined by lottery.

  When the prefetch determination unit 150 determines the jackpot as a result of the jackpot determination for the reserved ball random number, the effect correcting unit 230 stores the reserved ball random number before the reserved ball random number determined to be the jackpot. The content of the effect is corrected for the reserved ball random number stored in the unit 115. Specifically, when the prefetch determination unit 150 determines that a big hit is received, the prefetch big hit flag is stored in the prefetch big hit flag storage unit 280 in response to a command to that effect. Then, when the game based on the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 is started, the effect correcting unit 230 determines whether or not the prefetched jackpot flag storage unit 280 stores a prefetched jackpot flag. Check.

  When the look-ahead jackpot flag is stored and a variation pattern command indicating that a reach effect is to be performed in the game effect to be performed now is input to the effect mode determination unit 210, this effect mode determination unit 210 In addition to the production mode that is determined, that is, the production with reach (any of the production patterns C to J), the production modification unit 230 decides to additionally display either the highly reliable notice production E or F. To do. In response to this determination, the effect display control unit 220 controls to display a highly reliable notice effect in addition to the reach effect, and the timing for displaying the notice effect on the effect display device 34 is as described above. The preliminary announcement effect display timing lottery unit 221 determines the lottery.

  As will be described repeatedly, when the game based on the reserved ball random number is started, the effect correcting unit 230 checks whether or not the prefetching jackpot flag storage unit 280 stores a prefetching jackpot flag, and the flag is stored. If so, it is checked whether the reach command is included in the variation pattern command related to the game to be played. When there is a reach command, the effect correcting unit 230 determines to perform a highly reliable notice effect as an effect used in the game.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the special symbol display control unit 12 b is based on the special symbol command determined by the special symbol determination unit 120 of the main control processing unit 11 and the variation pattern command determined by the variation pattern command determination unit 140. The special symbol determined by the special symbol determining unit 120 is displayed on the special symbol display device 17 in such a manner that the special symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped. On the other hand, the normal symbol display control unit 12f receives a lottery result command related to the normal symbol by the normal symbol lottery unit 160, displays the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 22 based on the command, and displays it in a manner of stopping. It is controlled to do. The basic symbol display control unit 12f has substantially the same basic configuration of display control, although the symbol to be displayed is different from the display control by the special symbol display control unit 12b described above. The lamp control processing unit 12c receives commands from the main control processing unit 11 and controls lighting of various lamps and electrical decorations.

  The payout control processing unit 12e receives a signal from the CR unit and controls the prize ball paying device 14 so as to lend out a game ball to the player. In addition, the payout control processing unit 12e receives a payout command from the main control processing unit 11, The prize ball payout device 14 is controlled so as to pay out the prize ball to the player. The prize ball payout device 14 includes a sprocket (not shown) in which notches are formed for holding game balls one by one, and a motor (not shown) for rotating the sprocket. By controlling the rotation of the motor, the required number of prize balls can be paid out. Specifically, when the start winning opening detection sensor 43, the general winning opening detection sensor 44, the big winning opening detection sensor 45, etc. detect the passage of the game ball, the winning ball payout device 14 passes through the main control processing section 11. The game ball is paid out based on the received command.

  The firing control processing unit 13 is a device that controls the operation of the launching device 9 according to the rotation amount of the handle 7. More specifically, control processing is performed such as energizing the launching device 9, stopping energization, or changing the energization current. The launch control processing unit 13 is connected to the payout control processing unit 12e, and a launch stop signal is received when the CR unit is not connected.

  Next, processing related to the determination of the effect mode of the pachinko machine P described above will be described with reference to FIG. First, when a game based on the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 is started, the game is determined based on the acquired random number for variation pattern in addition to the command of the determination result of the success / failure by the special symbol determination unit 113. The variation pattern command is input to the effect control processing unit 12a. Upon receiving this input, the effect correction unit 230 has stored a pre-fetch jackpot flag in the pre-fetch jackpot flag storage unit 280 (a big hit is obtained as a result of the judgment by the pre-read judgment unit 150 in the one that has become a reserved ball random number later). Whether there is any) is checked (step S10).

  If the look-ahead jackpot flag is stored (Yes in step S10), there is a reserved ball random number that has been determined to be a jackpot, and the game to be played from now on is determined to be a jackpot This means that the game is based on a specific reserved ball random number stored before the ball random number. Therefore, in step S11, the effect correcting unit 230 checks whether or not the variation pattern command related to the game to be started now includes a command with reach (reach command). If there is a reach command (Yes in step S11), the production mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not the variation pattern command has an effect of low reliability notification in step S12. When there is a low-reliability notice effect (Yes in Step S12), the effect mode determination unit 210 ignores the command with the low-reliability notice effect (Step S13). Then, based on this reach command, it is determined to display any one of the effect patterns C to J, which are the reachable patterns shown in FIG. 7, as the current overall effect mode (step S14). That is, in the case where there is a look-ahead jackpot flag, and the variation pattern includes a reach command, and when a command with a low-reliability notice effect (special variation pattern command) is received, the effect mode determination unit 210 However, as a result of ignoring the command with the low-reliability notice, the effect display control unit 220 does not display the low-reliability notice effect.

  Next, the effect correction unit 230 determines to display either the notice E or the notice F shown in FIG. 7 as the highly reliable notice effect (step S15). Next, the notice effect display timing lottery unit 221 determines the timing for displaying the determined notice effect by lottery (step S14).

  Then, the effect display control unit 220 displays the reach effect (effect pattern) determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 on the effect display device 34, and at the timing determined by the notice effect display timing lottery unit 221, the high reliability notification effect. Is controlled to be displayed (step S17). And the process from the determination of the effect in one game to a display is complete | finished. In the case of No in step S11, the effect mode used this time is selected from the effects (notice effect and overall effect) stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the variation pattern command corresponding to the reserved ball random number. It is determined by the production mode determination unit 210 (step S18). Further, in the case of No in step S12, step S13 is skipped and the process proceeds to before step S14.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the prefetch determination unit 150 determines that the reserved ball random number is a big hit, the reserved ball random number is earlier than the reserved ball random number. When there is a variation pattern command indicating that the reach effect is performed in the game about the specific reserved ball random number stored in the storage unit 115, the effect correcting unit 230 in addition to the reach effect causes the highly reliable notice effect. Since the player has decided to display the game, the player will enjoy the game with the expectation that this game will be a big hit if a highly reliable notice effect and reach effect are displayed. Will be able to. Moreover, even if the game is lost, the high-reliability notice and reach effects are displayed, so there is an expectation that some of the reserved ball random numbers are judged to be big hits. Is born, and expectation continues for games based on reserved ball random numbers.

  Next, the pachinko machine P according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The pachinko machine P according to the second embodiment is the same as the pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment. Since most of the configurations are the same, the description below will focus on the differences, and the same reference numerals will be given to the components having the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. I will omit it.

  The pachinko machine P according to the second embodiment has some differences in the means constituting the effect control processing unit 12a. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the effect correction unit 430 according to the second embodiment is different from the effect correction unit 430 according to the first embodiment. Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the second embodiment, the effect control processing unit 12a has a configuration of the variation pattern command storage unit 480. However, in the pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment, The configuration is different in that it does not include such a storage unit. In the second embodiment, the variation pattern command determination unit 140 determines a variation pattern command at the time when it is stored as a reserved ball random number based on the acquired variation pattern random number, and immediately sends this command to the effect control processing unit. 12a. This variation pattern command is temporarily stored in the variation pattern command storage unit 480 described below.

  The variation pattern command storage unit 480 is for temporarily storing the variation pattern command related to the reserved ball random number until the game based on the reserved ball random number is started after the command is received. In particular, a variation pattern command corresponding to a specific reserved ball random number stored before the reserved ball random number determined to be a big hit is stored until a game based on the specific reserved ball random number is started.

  In addition, when the reserved ball random number is determined to be a big hit by the prefetch determination unit 150, the effect correcting unit 430 is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115 before the reserved ball random number determined to be the big hit. The effect on the reserved ball random number is corrected. Specifically, when a command indicating that the reserved ball random number is a big hit is sent from the prefetch determination unit 150 to the effect control processing unit 12a, the specific reserved ball random number stored in the variation pattern command storage unit 480 is added. It is determined whether or not the corresponding variation pattern command includes a reach command. If the variation command includes a reach command, the effect modification unit 430 provides a highly reliable notice effect for the variation pattern command including the reach command. A variation pattern command is created by forcibly adding a command for performing the process, that is, processing for rewriting the content of the variation pattern command is performed. That is, the variation pattern command determined by the variation pattern command determination unit 140 at the time when it is stored as a reserved ball random number is changed when the stored ball random number stored thereafter is determined to be a big hit. It is. Therefore, when a game based on the reserved ball random number whose command content has been changed is started, the production mode determination unit 210 determines the production mode based on the changed variation pattern command, and therefore reach is achieved. Not only the performance mode is selected, but also a highly reliable notice is given.

  The process of the effect correcting unit 430 of the pachinko machine P according to the second embodiment configured as described above, that is, the process of rewriting the variation pattern command will be described with reference to FIG. When the special symbol random number acquired when the game ball is won at the start winning opening 37 is stored as the reserved ball random number, the prefetch determination unit 150 stores the reserved ball random number as the reserved ball random number. The jackpot is determined at the timing. The determination result is immediately input to the effect control processing unit 12a as a command, and the effect control processing unit 12a analyzes the contents of the command (step S210). If the input command is a jackpot, that is, if the judgment result of the prefetch determination unit 150 is a jackpot (Yes in step S210), the prefetch jackpot flag is stored in the prefetch jackpot flag storage unit 280 as well. The effect correcting unit 430 checks whether the reserved sphere random number is stored in the reserved sphere random number storage unit 115 before the reserved sphere random number determined to be a big hit (step S211).

  If there is a stored ball random number previously stored (Yes in step S211), it is checked whether or not there is a reach command included in the change pattern command stored in the change pattern command storage unit 480. (Step S212). If the reach command is included (Yes in step S212), the effect correcting unit 430 adds a command for performing a high-reliability notice to the variation pattern command including the reach command. Thus, the variation pattern command is corrected (rewritten) (step S213). Next, in step S214, it is checked whether or not there is a command for performing a low-reliability notice effect for those to which a command for performing a high-reliability notice is added. When there is a command for performing a low-reliability notice effect, the effect correcting unit 430 deletes the command (step S215). Then, when the game based on the reserved ball random number in which the variation pattern command is rewritten starts, the reach effect and the high-reliability notice effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 on the effect display device 34 based on the rewritten variation pattern command. Is displayed (step S216). In the case of No in step S214, the content obtained by adding the command for performing the high-reliability notice effect added in step S213 to the variation pattern command is overwritten and stored in the variation pattern command storage unit 480. . In the case of No in steps S210, S211, and S212, the process ends without rewriting the variation pattern command.

  According to the pachinko machine P according to the second embodiment configured as described above, when a game based on the reserved ball random number is performed, the variable pattern command storage unit as a variable pattern command corresponding to the reserved ball random number. The effect pattern determination unit 210 determines the effect mode based on the command stored in the variation pattern command, but if there is a reserved ball random number that is determined to be a big hit by the prefetch determination unit 150, Among the variation pattern commands corresponding to the reserved sphere random number (specific reserved sphere random number) stored in the reserved sphere random number storage unit 115 prior to the reserved sphere random number determined to be the big hit, those including the reach command are commands The contents of are rewritten. Therefore, the production mode determination unit 210 determines the production mode based on the rewritten command.

  Here, when the reach command is included in the variation pattern command, the effect mode determination unit 210 determines the effect to be displayed this time from the effect patterns with reach as shown in FIG. As described above, the variation pattern command including the reach command is rewritten to include a command for performing the highly reliable notice effect by the effect correcting unit 430. In addition to performing an effect, the effect mode is determined so as to give a highly reliable notice.

  Therefore, when a highly reliable notice is displayed in a game in which a reach effect is performed, the player can play a game while expecting that the game is likely to be a big hit. Even if the game is lost, there is a possibility that some of the reserved ball random numbers are determined to be big hits due to the display of the high-reliability notice effect in addition to the reach effect. Since the prediction can be made, the game can be enjoyed with expectation even in the game based on the remaining reserved ball random numbers.

  In the above example, when the prefetch determination unit 150 is a big hit, the effect modification units 230 and 430 have always decided to display a highly reliable notice effect, but instead of this configuration, The display of the highly reliable notice effect may be determined by lottery. According to such a configuration, display variations of the high-reliability notice effect increase, and the range of the effect widens.
