Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily understandably report to a player that a present drawing probability state is a high probability drawing state by forcibly storing that shifting to a high probability conclusive mode and by shifting to the performance mode of stored contents when a symbol variation game is executed by variation contents capable of shifting. <P>SOLUTION: Since the probability of executing the symbol variation game of short variation time is high during a high probability suggestion mode to which a variation shortening state is imparted, shifting to the high probability conclusive mode is forcibly stored in the symbol variation game to be executed for the 100th time or thereafter when a second probability variable 15-round big winning is won, shifting to the high probability conclusive mode is performed when the symbol variation game is executed by the variation contents (normal ready-to-win state losing or normal variation) capable of shifting, and thus it is easily understandably reported to a player that the second probability variable 15-round big winning is won. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a game effect is performed in a plurality of effect modes.

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

  Therefore, conventionally, as a gaming state after the end of the big hit game, a plurality of performance modes including a high-accuracy latent mode that is set regardless of whether the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state are set. A pachinko gaming machine that changes the effect mode according to the situation has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Literature 1, it is possible to make an interest about whether or not a high-probability lottery state is reached even in a game after the end of the big hit game, and to improve the interest of the game.

JP 2003-10449 A

  By the way, in the recent pachinko machines, the starting condition of the symbol variation game is given when the game ball enters, and the game ball enters from the closed state where it is difficult for the game ball to enter the entrance of the game ball. Many of them are provided with starting means having opening / closing means that can be changed to an open state that is easy to ball. And in such a pachinko gaming machine, in addition to changing the lottery probability state, based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery, the operating state of the opening and closing means after the end of the big hit game is determined as the opening time per unit time. It is determined whether or not an open time increasing state in which the time increases is determined. When the open time increase state is given, the player's possession is not significantly reduced, and the digestion efficiency of the symbol variation game is increased, which is advantageous to the player. In such a pachinko gaming machine, the same high-accuracy latent mode is executed so that it is not known from the operation mode of the opening / closing means whether or not the high-probability lottery state is given.

  Here, as the type of jackpot, regardless of whether or not a probability variation state is given, a probability variation state is given, which is the first hit when the increased open time state ends when the predetermined number of symbol variation games are finished. In this case, it is assumed that the second hit in which the open time increasing state is continuously given even after the predetermined number of symbol variation games is completed is set. In this case, since it is determined that the second win is won when the increased open time state is given beyond the predetermined number of times, the player is notified quickly and easily that the probable change state has been given. In order to do so, it is desirable to shift to a high-accuracy confirmation mode in which the fact that a high-probability lottery state has been established is notified.

  However, it is assumed that the transition timing of the effect mode is “when the symbol variation game is executed with the content of“ normal variation ”that is most easily executed when the increased open time state is not given”. In this case, since the digestion efficiency of the symbol variation game is increased when the increased open time state is given, the content of “normal variation” is difficult to select, and instead the variation time is shorter than “normal variation”. The symbol variation game is easy to be executed with the content of “shortening variation”. The “normal variation” is an off-line effect in which, after the symbol variation game is started, the variation of symbols in each column is stopped in accordance with a predetermined variation stop order and the symbols are derived in each column. Also, during the open time increase state, in order to increase the digestion efficiency of the symbol variation game per unit time, if you do not win the jackpot lottery, you decide whether or not to run out of reach reach win the winning reach lottery It is difficult to do. Thereby, when the reach effect is executed during the open time increase state, the big hit expectation degree of the reach effect is increased.

  Therefore, no matter how much the second win is won, the symbol variation game is difficult to be played with the contents of “normal variation” during the open time increase state, and therefore it is not possible to shift to the high-accuracy determination mode. In addition, if the effect time required for the mode transition effect is shortened so as to be able to cope with any variation time of the symbol variation game, a long time is required in spite of an important effect that informs whether or not it is a high probability lottery state. As a result, the player cannot be excited and the transition of the production mode may be frequently executed.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. The purpose is to forcibly memorize the transition to the high-definition confirmation mode and to shift to the effect mode of the memorized content when the symbol variation game is executed with the variation content that can be shifted Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of easily informing a player that the current lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a display means for displaying a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbols, and the symbol variation game triggered by the entrance of a game ball. A starting means for providing a starting condition, and having an opening / closing means for changing the entrance of the game ball from a closed state where the game ball is difficult to enter to an open state where the game ball is easy to enter; and establishment of the start condition And a winning lottery means for performing a winning lottery for determining whether to win or not, and the symbol variation game includes a plurality of first variation contents and a second variation having a variation time shorter than the first variation contents. If the game is executed with any of the contents and an open time increasing state is provided in which the open time of the opening / closing means increases after the winning game ends, the symbol variation game is likely to be executed with the second variation contents. And said Including a plurality of high-accuracy latent modes with different expectations for the fact that the lottery probability state of the lottery is in a high-probability lottery state and a high-confirmation confirmation mode set only when the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state When the transition destination of the presentation mode is determined in the transition lottery for determining the transition destination presentation mode from the plurality of presentation modes, and the symbol variation game is executed with the first variation content, the transition lottery In the gaming machine that shifts to the production mode determined in step 2, the winning type determination means that determines the type of winning when the winning lottery is won, and the transition lottery is executed at a predetermined opportunity to move after the winning game ends Effect mode determining means for determining the mode transition mode after the effect mode, storage setting means for storing the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining means in the storage means, and the effect Effect mode control means for transitioning to the effect mode determined by the game mode determining means, and the winning is a first hit that gives the opening time increasing state a predetermined number of times after the end of the winning game, The second hit that gives the open time increase state beyond the predetermined number of times is set, and when the first hit is determined, the lottery probability state may be in a low probability lottery state On the other hand, when the second winning is determined, the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state, and after the winning game for the first and second hits, the winning game When the transition lottery is won, the storage setting means stores the lottery result of the transition lottery while the high-accuracy latent mode is executed as the first production mode after the end. 2 wins If the number of executions of the symbol variation game exceeds a preset number of times, the symbol variation game executed after the predetermined number of times can be shifted to the high probability determination mode. The certainty mode is forcibly memorized, and the production mode control means is a plurality of first variations as variation contents of the symbol variation game which is won per second and is executed after the predetermined number of times. The gist is to shift to the high-accuracy determination mode when a specific variation content determined in advance is determined.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, when the storage setting unit stores the high-accuracy determination mode, whether or not the high-accuracy latent mode is stored in the storage unit. If the high-accuracy latent mode is already stored, the high-accuracy confirmation mode is stored after resetting the stored contents stored in the storage means.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, the memory setting means is already configured so that the high-accuracy determination mode is already in the symbol variation game executed before a predetermined number of times. When stored in the storage means, the gist is to maintain the storage contents of the storage means.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, when the first winning is determined, the predetermined number of times of the symbol variation game is determined. It is set so as to shift to the specific high-accuracy latent mode in which the degree of expectation is set low at the time of completion, and the effect mode control means until the symbol variation game within the predetermined number of times is executed. In the symbol variation game after a specific number of times, even if the high-accuracy latent mode having a higher expectation level than the specific high-accuracy latent mode is stored in the storage means, the transition to the effect mode is performed. The gist is to regulate.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the type of winning game depends on the type of special symbol indicating the lottery result of the winning lottery. According to the type of the special symbol and how many times the current symbol variation game is the symbol variation game after the winning game ends, The gist is to execute a mode lottery for determining whether or not to shift the effect mode with a different lottery probability, and to execute the transition lottery when the mode lottery is won.

  According to the present invention, when the symbol variation game is executed with the variation content that can be forcibly memorized and shifted to the high-accuracy determination mode, the mode is shifted to the effect mode of the memorized content. By doing so, it is possible to inform the player in an easy-to-understand manner that the current lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state.

In addition, on the front side of the middle frame 12 and to the right of the lower plate 18, a launch handle 19 for launching a game ball that is turned by the player when the game ball is fired on the game board YB is mounted. ing. The front frame 14 has a lower speaker 17c on the left side of the lower plate 18 that outputs various sounds and produces sound effects. The lower speaker 17 c is attached to the middle frame 12.

  The upper plate 15 is provided with a not-shown payout opening for game balls to be paid out from the inside of the machine on the left side, and a concave storage passage 15a for storing game balls held by the player is provided continuously. Furthermore, an upper plate intake port (not shown) for taking game balls in the storage passage 15a into the machine is provided on the right side. The game balls stored in the upper plate 15 are guided to the upper plate take-in port by the storage passage 15a, and are taken into the machine one by one through the upper plate take-in port, and launched toward the game board YB. Is done. The game ball that is launched toward the game board YB is set in terms of launch intensity according to the amount of rotation of the launch handle 19. The lower plate 18 is provided with an outlet 18a for a game ball that overflows and flows down from the upper plate 15, and a concave storage portion 18b that stores the game ball is connected to the outlet 18a of the game ball. Yes.

Next, the configuration of the game board YB will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
On the front surface of the game board YB, a guide rail 20 that guides a game ball launched by operating the launch handle 19 and forms a substantially circular game area H1 that is the main body of a pachinko game is laid in a circular spiral shape. Yes. With this guide rail 20, a game ball guide path 20 a extending from the lower left to the upper left of the game board YB is formed on the game board YB, and a game area H 1 is formed inside the guide rail 20. . Further, the outside of the game area H1, which is the front surface of the game board YB and outside the guide rail 20, is a non-game area H2 that is not directly involved in the pachinko game.

  A display frame body (center accessory) 21 with various displays and various decorations is mounted almost at the center (center) of the game area H1 of the game board YB. A set port 21a that opens in a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from the front is formed in the approximate center of the display frame 21. The display frame 21 has a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH in alignment with the set port 21a. An effect display 22 as a display means is attached. The effect display 22 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are images. It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display 22, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game on the effect display 22 is performed using decorative symbols for diversifying display effects.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a special-purpose display 23 serving as a 7-segment display is provided on the lower left side of the game area H1 on the game board YB. The special symbol display 23 performs a symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. Then, in the symbol variation game, the special symbol display 23 displays a special symbol by varying a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “special symbols”) in one row. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of the internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit.

  Then, on the special symbol display 23, the symbol variation display is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, on the effect display 22, the variation display of the decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game. Then, at the same time as the end of the game, the decorative drawings in each row are displayed in a fixed stop state. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. Note that the special effect indicator 23 and the effect indicator 22 simultaneously start the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game, and end simultaneously (that is, the special symbol and the decoration diagram are confirmed and stopped at the same time).

  In the present embodiment, the special figure display 23 selects one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery from a plurality of types of special figures, and the selected special figure is displayed when the symbol variation game ends. The fixed stop is displayed. Multiple types of special charts are 100 kinds of big hit symbols (corresponding to the big hit display result) that can recognize big hits, and 10 kinds of small hits symbols (small hit display results) that can recognize the big hits )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The jackpot game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the effect indicator 22 has seven types of numbers, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7] for each column. It is displayed as a decorative drawing. And in this embodiment, it is comprised with a large display area compared with the special figure indicator 23, and a decorative drawing is displayed much larger compared with a special figure. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display 22. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the effect display 22 are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, the player is awarded a jackpot game after the symbol variation game is over. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display 22 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. When a predetermined symbol combination (for example, [123]) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either the big hit or the small hit is won. Probability suggestion suggesting that the symbol combination that can recognize that either the big hit or the small win is won, the probability variation state (probability variation state) that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery becomes a high probability lottery state is given. It becomes the symbol combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the effect display 22 is configured such that the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner along a predetermined change direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol change game is started. When the symbol variation game is started (decoration of each column starts to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side on the effect display 22 The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are the same symbol, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are stopped and displayed in the same design, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first stops the decorative drawing becomes the first stop display column, and the right column that stops and displays the decorative drawing next. It becomes a 2nd stop display row | line | column, and the middle row | line | column which stops and displays a decoration drawing finally becomes a 3rd stop display row | line | column.

  The effect display 22 displays a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special figure display 23. More specifically, the special graphic displayed on the special graphic display 23 corresponds to the graphic combination by the decorative graphic displayed on the effect display 22, and when the graphic variation game ends, the special graphic and the decorative graphic are displayed. The combination is displayed in a fixed stop correspondingly. For example, when the big hit symbol is displayed on the special symbol display unit 23 as a fixed stop display, as a rule, the big hit symbol combination such as [222] or [444] is displayed on the final display unit 22 as a fixed stop display. ing. When the special symbol display 23 displays the deferred symbols, the deferred symbol combinations such as [121] and [345] are also deterministically stopped and displayed on the effect display 22. . In addition, when the small hit symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 23 as a fixed stop display, the symbol combination such as [123] is also displayed on the special effect display 22 as a fixed stop display. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the effect display device 22 of the present embodiment, a display effect related to the symbol variation game (a symbol variation game in which symbols in three rows are displayed in a variable manner to display a combination of symbols) is performed. .

  Further, a general-purpose display 24 is arranged at the lower left of the game area H1 on the game board YB and to the left of the special-purpose display 23. In the general symbol display 24, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a “general symbol game”) that derives one ordinary symbol by changing a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “general symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In the present embodiment, the general-purpose display 24 covers a light-emitting body (such as an LED or a lamp) (not shown) with a lens cover (in FIG. 2, the surface is decorated with “circle” and “x”). And a plurality of (two in the present embodiment) ordinary symbol display units. In the common figure indicator 24, an internal lottery (ordinary figure) of whether or not the universal figure is performed separately from the big prize lottery of whether or not the big hit or not (whether or not the lower start winning opening 26 is opened by the opening operation of the opening and closing blades 27). The lottery result of “winning lottery” is displayed. Then, in the common figure display 24 of this embodiment, when the winning is determined by lottery per common figure, the winning symbol consisting of the usual figure in the general figure game is displayed as a fixed stop (in this embodiment, “○ (circle ) "Normal symbol display section is lit). On the other hand, when the shift is determined in the lottery per base drawing, the base symbol display 24 according to the present embodiment displays a stop symbol indicating that the base symbol in the base game is a fixed stop (in this embodiment, “× (Batsu ) "Normal symbol display section is lit).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the game area H1 below the front view of the display frame 21, a starting means having an upper start winning port 25 having a game ball entrance 25a and a game ball entrance 26a. Are arranged so as to be lined up and down. The upper start winning opening 25 is configured such that the entrance 25a is always open so as to allow the entrance of game balls at all times. On the other hand, the lower start winning opening 26 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 27 as an opening / closing means for performing an opening / closing operation by the operation of the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 (shown in FIG. 7). Is configured to open the entrance 26a so that the entrance of the game ball can be allowed by opening.

  At the back of each of the upper start winning opening 25 and the lower start winning opening 26, start opening sensors SE1 and SE2 (shown in FIG. 7) for detecting the game balls that have entered are disposed. The upper start winning opening 25 and the lower 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 winning balls by detecting a game ball that has entered. When the opening and closing blades 27 are opened, the lower start winning opening 26 is made in a state in which the entrance is expanded and the game balls are easy to enter, while when the opening and closing blades 27 are closed, the entrance balls are not expanded and the game balls are opened. It is difficult to enter the ball.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, below the lower start winning opening 26, a large winning opening device 29 provided with a large winning opening door 28 that opens and closes by the operation of a large winning opening solenoid SOL1 (shown in FIG. 7). Is arranged. A count sensor SE3 that detects a game ball that has entered the ball is provided in the back of the big prize opening device 29. Then, when a winning game (a big hit game and a small hit game) is generated, the big winning opening device 29 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning port door 28 and the game ball can be entered. You can get a chance to win many prize balls. The winning game is given when the winning is determined by internal lottery, and the winning symbol (including the big winning symbol and the small winning symbol) is determined and stopped in the symbol changing game.

  In addition, on the lower left side of the game area H1 on the game board YB and on the left side of the special-purpose display 23, the number of reserved starting balls stored in the machine (RAM 30c) (hereinafter, “ A special figure hold display device Ra is provided for informing the number of symbol variation games on hold based on “special figure hold memory number”. The special figure holding memory number indicates the number of symbol variation games that are on hold (waiting for symbol variation games). Then, the special figure hold memory number is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening (upper start winning opening 25 and lower start winning opening 26), and is subtracted by 1 at the start of the symbol variation game. It has become. Accordingly, when a game ball enters the start winning opening during the symbol variation game, the special figure holding memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). The special figure hold indicator Ra is composed of a plurality of (four in this embodiment) lamps, and notifies the player of the special figure hold memory number by lighting a number of lamps corresponding to the special figure hold memory number. .

  An operation gate 35 is disposed on the left side of the display frame 21. Further, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 7) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided behind the operation gate 35. The operation gate 35 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the lower start winning opening 26 is opened (whether a game ball can be won in the lower starting winning opening 26). The lower start winning opening 26 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 27. In this closed state, the game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, in the lower start winning opening 26, when a game is given per usual figure, the lower starting winning opening 26 is opened by opening the opening / closing blade 27, and the game ball can be won. In other words, when a game per game is awarded, a game ball can be awarded to the lower start prize opening 26 by opening the opening / closing blade 27, so that the player can acquire the start condition and the prize ball for the symbol variation game. You can get a chance. Note that a game ball can always be awarded to the upper start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a general-purpose holding display Rb is disposed at the lower left of the game area H1 in the game board YB and to the right of the general-purpose display 24. The general-purpose hold indicator Rb has a number of start-holding balls stored in the machine (RAM 30c) as a start-holding ball when the game ball passes through the operating gate 35 (hereinafter referred to as "the general-purpose holding memory number"). Display), and the number of times the general game is held is notified by the display content of the general map hold display Rb. The usual figure storage number is incremented by 1 (+1) when the game ball passes through the operation gate 35, and is subtracted by 1 (-1) when the usual game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 35 during the normal game, the general-purpose reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). In the present embodiment, the general-purpose hold indicator Rb is composed of a plurality of (four in the present embodiment) lamps, and the number of lamps corresponding to the general-purpose reserved memory number is turned on to play the general-purpose reserved memory number. Inform the person.

  In addition, in the lowermost part of the game area H1 of the game board YB (below the big prize opening device 29), the game balls that have been launched into the game area H1 and have not entered any of the prize openings are out balls. As shown in FIG. The game balls that have passed through the out ball opening 13 are discharged to an out ball tank (not shown) disposed in the installation facility (game island) of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability variation function is based on the fact that the type of jackpot symbol (special symbol) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. In this embodiment, this is a function for giving a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from 5/1697) to a high probability lottery state (in this embodiment, 50/1697). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. 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.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a variable function that provides a variable time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “variable”) state. When the variable state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 27 is shortened, and the probability of hitting the ordinary game is increased from the normal probability to the high probability A fluctuating entrance rate improvement state is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 27 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game.

  In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 27 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 0.3 seconds or 1.0 seconds have elapsed since opening. . On the other hand, when the normal game is won in the variable state, the opening / closing blade 27 is opened three times, and the open state is maintained until 1.5 seconds have elapsed since the opening in one opening. It is like that. In other words, the open / close blade 27 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the normal state is applied. Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is entered, the opening / closing blade 27 is closed. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 27 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. Further, the variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed or until a big hit is generated before the predetermined number of times is reached. It should be noted that the number of times that the short / short state is given varies depending on the gaming state when winning the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, the variable state that increases the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 27 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time increasing state. It should be noted that during the variable speed state (open time increasing state), the total time for which the opening / closing blades 27 are opened by one ordinary figure increases compared to the non-short time state.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game (15 round jackpot game and two round jackpot game) and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from the five types of big hits shown in FIG. 3, and the big hit game based on the determined big hit is given. It has become. Of the five types of jackpots, which jackpot is awarded is determined according to the type of special figure (jacket symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into five types: symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, symbol D, and symbol E, as shown in FIG. Symbol A has 28 types of jackpot symbols, symbol B has six types of jackpot symbols, symbol C has eight types of jackpot symbols, symbol D has twenty types of jackpot symbols, symbol E has There are 38 types of big hit symbols. In addition, in the symbol F shown in FIG. 3, ten types of special symbols (small bonus symbols) corresponding to the small bonus are assigned.

  The jackpot game based on the symbols A and B is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol A is indicated as “first probability variation 15 round jackpot”, and the jackpot based on the symbol B is denoted as “second probability variation 15 round jackpot”. In the first probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the second probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls (count) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. In the 15 round games in the first probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the second probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the grand prize winning door 28 is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In addition, the first probability variation 15 round jackpot and the second probability variation 15 round jackpot, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state after the end of the jackpot game and the variable state until the end of the probability variation state. It comes to grant. In FIG. 3, the case where the variable state is given until the end of the probability change state is described as “no limit”. In the present embodiment, the first odd-change 15 round jackpot and the second odd-change 15-round jackpot have different effect modes that are shifted to after the jackpot game ends. The effect mode will be described in detail later.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol C is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol C is indicated as “probability 15 round jackpot with 100 times variation”. In a probability variation 15 round jackpot game with 100 variations, the upper limit number of balls (count) for a single round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the probability variation 15 round jackpot game with 100 variations, the grand prize winning door 28 is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the probability variation 15 round big hit with 100 times change, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state after the big hit game ends and the predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) is changed as the upper limit number. A short state is given.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol D is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol D is referred to as “probability two-round jackpot”. In the probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the probabilistic two round big hit game, it is set so that the grand prize winning door 28 is opened “once” in each round game. Also, in the probabilistic 2 round big hit, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable change state after the big hit game and the variable state until the end of the probable change state are given, and the probable state only after the big hit game ends May be granted.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol E is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability variation state is imparted). Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol E is referred to as “non-probable 15 round jackpot”. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (count number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, it is set so that the grand prize winning door 28 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the predetermined number of times (100 in this embodiment) is set as the upper limit number without giving a probable state after the big hit game is finished. It is designed to give a variable state.

  In the small hit game based on the symbol F, the specified number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number of balls (count) for one round game is set to “9”. Further, in the single round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the grand prize winning door 28 is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small win game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probabilistic state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is changed. If it is in the state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the variable state. In addition, in the small win game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the non-probable change state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is In the non-variable state, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the non-variable state.

  In each of the big hit games and the small hit games, the opening time, the round game time and the ending time of one round game are set as shown in FIG. Since each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls are entered, the round game time of one round game shown in FIG. 3 is the maximum time.

  It should be noted that “low accuracy + no change”, “low accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” G2 shown in the “state when hit” column in FIG. ”And“ G3 with high accuracy + variation ”indicate the following states, respectively. “Low accuracy + no change” indicates a non-change change state and a non-change change state, and is “normal state” in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. “Low probability + variable” indicates a non-probable variable state and a variable state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the “low-probable + variable” state is a non-probable variable 15 round big hit game. Produced by winning. “High accuracy + no change” indicates a state of probability change and a non-change state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + no change” is “low accuracy + no change”. It is created by winning a probable 2 round jackpot game in the state of "."

  Further, “highly accurate + variable G2” indicates that the transition mode is the “highly accurate suggestion mode” in addition to the state of probability variation and the state of variation, and the pachinko of this embodiment. In the gaming machine 10, the state of “high probability + variable G2” is created by winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot game or the probability variation 15 round jackpot game with 100 variations. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + variation G2” is “low accuracy + variation”, “high accuracy + no variation”, or “high accuracy + variation”. It is also created by winning the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game in the state of "Short G2". “Highly accurate + variable G3” indicates that the transition mode is the “highly accurate mode” in addition to the variable state and the variable state, and the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. The state of “high probability + variable G3” at 10 is created by winning the first probability variation 15 round jackpot game. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the state of “highly accurate + variable G3” is also created by winning a promiscuous 2-round jackpot game in the state of “highly accurate + variable G3”.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, after each big hit game, the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state (probability variation state) or a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state). A plurality of (three in this embodiment) effect modes for displaying a game state notification image that suggests to the player whether or not. FIG. 4 shows a transition mode of the effect mode in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the transition lottery that determines whether the transition mode of the presentation mode is won and whether or not the presentation mode after the presentation mode that has been transitioned after the winning game is to be transitioned ( Mode lottery) has been won, and the effect mode to be transferred differs according to the winning type and the lottery result of the transfer lottery. By the transition of the effect mode, the player infers whether or not the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state from the effect mode during the stay, that is, the game state notification image displayed in the effect mode. It is like that.

Hereinafter, the production mode of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, “Round game” is indicated as “R”.
In the present embodiment, the three production modes have different production modes. Specifically, when the variable state is not given, and when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in the high probability lottery state or the low probability lottery state, and when the variable state is given In some cases, the high probability suggestion mode for staying when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in the high probability lottery state or the low probability lottery state is set. In addition, a variable state is given, and a high-accuracy confirmation mode for staying when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high-probability lottery state is set. The high-confirmation confirmation mode is an effect that definitely suggests (informs) the player that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state, that is, that the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a probable change state. ing. On the other hand, the normal mode and the high probability suggestion mode are effects that are executed regardless of whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state. That is, the normal mode and the high probability suggestion mode are high probabilities that suggest (notify) the player indefinitely whether the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state. It is considered as a latent production, and these two production modes suggest the possibility of a probabilistic state. In the present embodiment, the normal mode and the high-accuracy suggestion mode become the high-accuracy latent mode, while the normal mode becomes the specific high-accuracy latent mode.

  The above-described three performance modes indicate the level of expectation of being in the probability variation state (the magnitude of the possibility of being in the probability variation state), and are the effects distinguished by the height. In the present embodiment, it is positioned as an effect mode with a high expectation level that is a probability variation state in the order of normal mode <high accuracy suggestion mode <high accuracy determination mode.

  Further, the high-accuracy suggestion mode in the present embodiment is further divided into a plurality of modes (four in the present embodiment), and is set so that the expectation level that is a probable change state differs for each effect mode. Specifically, the first high-accuracy suggestion mode, the second high-accuracy suggestion mode, the third high-accuracy suggestion mode, and the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode are set, and the first high-accuracy suggestion mode is set. It is positioned as an effect mode in which the expectation level is high in the order of mode <second high suggestion mode <third high suggestion mode <fourth high suggestion mode. And in this embodiment, it is comprised so that it can transfer to the 4th high probability suggestion mode only when the 2nd probability variation 15 round big hit is won. As a result, the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode is categorized as the “high-probability suggestion mode”, but the player is definitely notified that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is the high-probability lottery state. become.

  Further, during the stay in each effect mode, a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is displayed on the effect display 22. Specifically, in the normal mode, the normal background image G1 as the gaming state notification image is displayed, and in the high suggestion mode, the high probability background image G2 as the gaming state notification image is displayed. An image is displayed. Furthermore, in the first highly accurate suggestion mode, the highly accurate background image G2a (FIG. 5A) is in the third highly accurate suggestion mode, and in the second highly accurate suggestion mode, the highly accurate background image G2b (FIG. 5B) is in the third In the high accuracy suggestion mode, the high accuracy background image G2c (FIG. 5C) is displayed, and in the fourth high accuracy suggestion mode, the high accuracy background image G2d (FIG. 5D) is displayed. ing. In the following description, the high-accuracy background images G2a to G2d may be collectively referred to as “high-accuracy background image G2”. In the high-accuracy confirmation mode, a confirmed background image G3 is displayed as a game state notification image. By displaying each of these background images G1 to G3, the player can grasp the degree of expectation that the winning probability of the big hit lottery is in a high probability state. The background image is an image displayed on the back of the symbol.

Hereinafter, transition modes of the effect mode will be described.
The normal mode is an effect mode in which the user stays at “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”. Then, when the player wins the first probability variation 15 round jackpot while staying in the normal mode, the game proceeds to the jackpot game through the jackpot game. In addition, during the regular mode stay, if you win one of the 2nd probability 15 round jackpots, the 100th rounded odds 15th round jackpot, or the non-probable 15th rounds big jackpot, Move to high accuracy suggestion mode. In addition, if the player wins a big hit or a small hit of the probability change 2 rounds while staying in the normal mode “low accuracy + no change”, the mode shifts to the high accuracy suggestion mode without change. In addition, if the player wins a two round probability win while staying in the normal mode of “high accuracy + no change”, the mode shifts to the high suggestion mode with change. In addition, if the player wins a small hit while staying in the normal mode of “high accuracy + no change”, the mode shifts to the high suggestion mode without change. In the following description, the second probability variation 15 round big hit, the probability variation 15 round big hit with 100 times change and the non-probability variation 15 round big hit may be collectively referred to as “15 round system big hit”.

  The high-accuracy determination mode is a production mode in which the user stays when “high-accuracy + changed”. And, while staying in the high-definition fixed mode, if you win one of the 2nd probability variation 15 round big hits, the probability variation 15 round big hit with 100 times change and the non-probability 15 round big hits, Move to the high accuracy suggestion mode. In addition, when the player wins the big change or the small win of the probability variation 2 round while staying in the high-accuracy determination mode, the mode shifts (continues) to the high-accuracy determination mode. The end condition of the high-accuracy determination mode is set to win a 15-round system big hit in the big hit lottery, and is continued until the big win is won in the big hit lottery.

  The high accuracy suggestion mode is classified into a high accuracy suggestion mode with variation and a high accuracy suggestion mode without variation. More specifically, the high-accuracy suggestion mode with variation is a production mode in which the user stays at “low accuracy + variation” and “high accuracy + variation”. In other words, in the high-accuracy suggestion mode with a change made by winning either the second probability change 15-round jackpot or the 100-change change-correct 15-round jackpot, the gaming state is “high-probability + variable-change”. It becomes. On the other hand, the high-accuracy suggestion mode with a change made by winning the 15th round of the non-probable change is a “low + change”. If the first probability variation 15 round jackpot is won while staying in the high probability suggestion mode with variation, the game shifts to the high certainty mode through the jackpot game. In addition, if the player wins a two-round big hit or small hit in probability change while staying in the high accuracy suggestion mode with variation, the mode shifts (continues) to the high accuracy suggestion mode with variation.

  In addition, the end condition of the high probability suggestion mode with variable shortening is that the 15 round system big hit (including the first probability variable 15 round big hit) is won in the big hit lottery, and the variable state given after the big hit game ends One of the following is established. For this reason, when shifting to the high accuracy suggestion mode with a change by winning either of the 15 round jackpots with a probability change of 100 times and the 15 round jackpots with a non-probability change, the normalization is completed by the end of the shortage state. Transition to mode. As a result, the normal mode that shifts through the high-accuracy suggestion mode with variation is still in the probability variation state, and is in the state of probability variation latency. It should be noted that the high probability suggestion mode without the variable state may be terminated by winning the falling lottery or may be terminated by winning the big win in the big win lottery.

  On the other hand, when shifting to the high-accuracy suggestion mode with a change due to winning the second round of 15 chances, the high-impact suggestion mode with a change is continued until winning the big win. . Accordingly, when a player who plays a game with the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment shifts to the high-accuracy suggestion mode with a change after the big hit game, the high-precision with the change is obtained by the end of 100 symbol variation games. If the suggestion mode does not shift to the normal mode, it can be recognized from the transition mode of the effect mode that it is in a probable change state. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a 15-round system big hit is won, after the big hit game ends, the first high probability suggestion mode (with variation) to the third high probability suggestion mode (with variation) Which production mode is to be selected is determined by lottery.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment performs the promotion lottery (the first lottery content) during the stay in the high-accuracy suggestion mode that is “high accuracy + variation” or “low probability + variation”. Running. On the other hand, during the normal mode, and during the stay in the high accuracy suggestion mode of “high accuracy + no change” or “low accuracy + no change”, the promotion lottery and the falling lottery (second lottery content) are executed. is doing. Incidentally, the promotion lottery is a lottery executed in order to determine whether or not to shift to the production mode set with a higher expectation level that is more likely to change than the production mode during the current stay. In addition, the falling lottery is a lottery executed to determine whether or not to shift to the production mode (normal mode in the present embodiment) in which the degree of expectation that is a probable variation state is set lower than the production mode during the current stay. is there.

In the present embodiment, the non-probability variable 15 round big hit is the first hit. On the other hand, the second probability variation 15 round big hit becomes the second hit.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the effect mode is shifted by winning the promotion lottery or the falling lottery, the mode transition effect is executed in a manner as shown in FIG. Specifically, after the start of the symbol variation game, the door T is displayed on the image display unit GH, and when the door T is opened after a predetermined time has elapsed, the effect mode executed after the end of the mode transition effect is notified. It is like that. Further, when the mode transition effect is executed, the changing symbol is displayed much smaller than the door T in the lower left part of the image display unit GH. Then, after the door T is opened and the effect mode of the transition destination is notified, the changing symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state. As described above, when the mode transition effect is executed, the decoration drawing is displayed in a small size on the image display unit GH. Therefore, the player pays attention to the execution mode of the mode transition effect. Note that the transition trigger of the mode transition effect performed in the mode as shown in FIG. 6 is set when a specific variation pattern (the variation pattern P1 in this embodiment) is selected.

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. In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display 22 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the various lamp units 16a to 16c based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. To do. The voice control board 34 controls voice output modes (such as voice output timing) of the various speakers 17a to 17c based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. An upper start port sensor SE1, a lower start port sensor SE2, a count sensor SE3, and a gate sensor SE4 are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected with a special figure display 23, a common figure display 24, a special figure hold display Ra, and a general figure hold display Rb. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. In addition, the main CPU 30a uses a hit determination random number for special figures, a random number for special figure distribution, a random number for reach determination, a random number for fluctuation pattern distribution, a random number for small hit symbol distribution, and a hit determination for ordinary figures. Values of various random numbers such as random numbers are updated at predetermined intervals, and the updated values are stored (set) in the setting area of the RAM 30c to rewrite the values before the update. Further, the main CPU 30a updates a timer for measuring time. The RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The special hit determination random number for special figures is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) to determine whether to win or not, and if the big hit lottery is not won, the small hit lottery to determine whether to win This is a random number used in (small hit determination). Further, the special figure distribution random number is a random number used when determining a big hit symbol as a special figure to be displayed on the special figure display 23 when the big hit is made. In addition, the reach determination random number is a reach lottery (whether or not a big win lottery and a small win lottery are won), that is, a reach is formed in the case of a loss and a reach lottery for determining whether or not a reach effect is performed ( This is a random number used in reach determination. Moreover, the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution is a random number used when selecting and determining a fluctuation pattern. The random number for hit determination for a common figure is a random number used in a lottery per common figure (judgment per common figure) for determining whether or not to make a hit per common figure. The random number for small hit symbol distribution is a random number used when determining the small hit symbol as a special figure to be displayed on the special symbol display 23 when the small hit is made.

  In this embodiment, the hit determination random number for special figure, the random number for special figure distribution, the random number for reach determination, and the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution are acquired at the same time (same timing). That is, each random number is acquired when a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25 or the lower start winning opening 26.

  The ROM 30b stores a main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to fluctuate (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production.

FIG. 8 shows a part of variation patterns that can be selected in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, three types of variation patterns P1 to P3 are prepared as variation patterns for the offending effect. In these fluctuation patterns P1 to P3, the fluctuation contents are “normal fluctuation” and “shortening fluctuation”. “Normal variation” means that after a symbol variation game is started, variation is stopped in accordance with a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column) and symbols are derived in each column. It is off-line production. “Abbreviated fluctuation” is an off-stage effect in which the fluctuation time is set shorter than “normal fluctuation”, and the fluctuation of each column is stopped at substantially the same timing and the symbol is derived in each column. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation pattern P1 to P3 has a fluctuation time that is shorter in the fluctuation pattern P2 (fluctuation time T2) than in the fluctuation pattern P1 (fluctuation time T1), and is longer than the fluctuation pattern P2. T3) is shorter. Further, in the present embodiment, the variation patterns P1 to P3 are selected according to the special figure holding memory number (0 to 3) at the start of the symbol variation game.

  The variation patterns P4 and P5 are variation patterns for a winning effect (2R / small hit) that can be selected when a winning block of two rounds of probability variation is won. Specifically, the variation pattern P4 is a variation pattern with “normal reach (NR)”, while the variation pattern P5 is a variation pattern with “super reach (SR)”. Note that “normal reach” means that in the symbol variation game of the effect display 22, the same decorative drawing is derived in a plurality of predetermined symbol rows (in this embodiment, the left row and the right row) and reach is achieved. This is a reach effect of the variation content that is formed and the remaining one column (in this embodiment, the middle column) is varied to derive a decorative drawing. On the other hand, “Super Reach” is a symbol change game on the effect display 22, for example, a specific character appears after the remaining one row is changed or stopped after the normal reach effect. It is a reach production of variation contents that shift (develop) to the so-called “XX reach” and derive a decorative drawing.

  The variation patterns P4 and P6 are variation patterns for winning effects (for 15R big hits) that can be selected when a 15-round big hit (including the first probability variation 15 round big hit) is won. Further, the variation patterns P7 to P9 are variation patterns for outlier reach effects. In addition, the fluctuation patterns P4 to P9 have longer fluctuation times for the fluctuation patterns P5 and P8 (fluctuation time T5) than the fluctuation patterns P4 and P7 (fluctuation time T4), and the fluctuation patterns P6 and P9 than the fluctuation patterns P5 and P8. (Fluctuation time T6) is longer. Further, the fluctuation time T1 and the fluctuation time T4 are substantially the same length.

  The ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value. The big hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from the numerical values (1697 different integers from 0 to 1696) that can be taken by the random numbers for special hit judgment. . Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (50 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be greater than the number (5 in this embodiment).

  In the present embodiment, the variation content specified by the variation pattern P1 and the variation pattern P7 is the first variation content, while the variation content identified by the variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3 is the second variation content. . In addition, the variation content specified by the variation patterns P1 to P3 becomes the variation content without reach, while the variation content specified by the variation patterns P4 to P9 becomes the variation content with reach.

  Further, the ROM 30b stores a determination value per ordinary figure. The per-standard figure judgment value is a judgment value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not per common figure, and can be selected from among the numerical values (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240) that can be taken by the random number for judgment for general charts. It has been established. It should be noted that the number of determination values per normal map varies depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and the number of standard figure determination values when the variable state is assigned (240 in this embodiment). Is set to be larger than the number of determination values per normal map in the normal state (50 in this embodiment). In addition, the RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number for use in a normal drawing used in the determination of a normal hit. In the present embodiment, the hit determination random number for ordinary use is acquired when the game ball passes through the operation gate 35.

  In addition, the reach determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in reach lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not a reach effect is to be executed when the symbol variation game is out of play, and a reach determination random number (from 0 to 162). 163 types of integers). As shown in FIG. 9, the number of reach determination values varies depending on the number of start-up balls stored. Specifically, when the game state is either “low accuracy + no change” or “high accuracy + no change” and the special figure hold storage number is “0” or “1”, the reach determination value Is 0-22. Further, when the game state is “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change” and the special figure holding memory number is “2”, the reach determination value is 0-17. It has become. Further, when the game state is either “low probability + no change” or “high accuracy + no change” and the special figure holding memory number is “3”, the reach determination value is 0-7. It has become. On the other hand, when the gaming state is “low probability + variable” and “high probability + variable”, the reach determination value is 0 to 6 regardless of the value of the special figure holding memory number.

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

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. An effect display 22 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). In the ROM 32b, a display control program for controlling the display contents of the effect display 22 is stored. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that executes the following processing functions as a winning lottery means and a winning seed determining means.

  When the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the upper start winning opening 25 or the lower start winning opening 26 and inputs a detection signal output from the start opening sensors SE1 and SE2 that detect the game ball, the main CPU 30a inputs the detection signal to the RAM 30c. Whether or not the stored special figure hold storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) is determined.

  When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (special figure hold memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the hold memory number and rewrites the special figure hold memory number. Further, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the hold determination, the main CPU 30a obtains the value of the special determination hit determination random number and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and sets the value as the special figure hold storage number. The data are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with each other. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (number of special figure hold memory = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the special figure hold memory number exceeding the upper limit number, and the hit determination random number for the special figure Do not obtain the value and random number for special map distribution.

  Then, immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, the main CPU 30a reads the value of the special decision hit random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with the special figure holding storage number, and the read special figure. The big hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b is compared with the value of the random number for determining the big hit, and the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed. In the big hit determination, when the gaming state is the normal state, the main CPU 30a compares the big probability determination value for low probability with the value of the random number for hit determination for the special figure, and the gaming state is a probable change state. Is compared with the value of the jackpot determination value for high probability and the value of the random number for hit determination for special figure.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the big hit determination value match), the main CPU 30a determines the big hit. Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines a jackpot symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. Since a predetermined number of special figure distribution random numbers are assigned to the symbols A to E, the main CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbols (special characters) classified into the symbols A to E based on the values of the special symbol distribution random numbers. Figure) will be determined. Further, the main CPU 30a that has determined the big hit identifies the type of the big hit game from the determined final stop symbol, selects one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the big hit effect corresponding to the identified big hit game, and decides To do.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number does not match the big hit determination value), the main CPU 30a stores the value of the special hit determination random number and the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is determined by comparing the small hit determination values. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value match), the main CPU 30a determines the small hit. Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines a small hit symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, based on the value of the random symbol for small hit symbol distribution. The main CPU 30a that has determined the small hit selects and determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns that can be selected when the small hit game is won.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination in the special figure and the small hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a determines the deviation. Then, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol that is not a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the special symbol display 23. In addition, the main CPU 30a that has determined the detachment determines whether or not to execute the detachment reach effect. Specifically, the main CPU 30a performs reach determination based on whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 30c matches the reach determination value. Note that the reach determination value is different depending on the value of the special figure reservation storage number.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the special figure holding memory number is “0” when the variable state is not given regardless of whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is the high probability lottery state or not. When it is “1”, the main CPU 30a affirms the reach determination with a probability of 23/163. Similarly, the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 18/163 when the special figure hold storage number is “2”. Similarly, the main CPU 30a affirmatively determines the reach determination with a probability of 8/163 when the number of special figure hold storage is “3”.

  Thus, the greater the number of special figure hold memories, that is, the greater the number of symbol variation games that are held, the lower the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, the more symbol variation games that are on hold, the faster the symbol variation game that is on hold can be digested. On the other hand, the smaller the number of special figure holding memories, that is, the fewer the symbol variation games that are held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of special figure holding memories is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the variation time so that the symbol variation game is not interrupted. On the other hand, regardless of whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is the high probability lottery state or not, regardless of the value of the special figure holding memory number, the main CPU 30a is 7/163. Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability of.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (execution of the divergence reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a selects and determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns that can be selected when the losing reach effect is won. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main CPU 30a selects and determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns that can be selected when the outlier effect is won.

  The main CPU 30a according to the present embodiment determines the variation pattern of the off effect according to the selection rates shown in FIGS. The selection rate of the variation pattern for the offending effect is set according to the remaining number of special figure reservations stored after subtracting the variation. When the game state is “low probability + no change” and “high probability + no change”, the main CPU 30a follows the change pattern selection rate without change shown in FIG. Select. When there is no change, the main CPU 30a selects and determines the change pattern P1 at a selection rate of 241/241 when the special figure reservation storage number is “0” or “1”. When there is no change, the main CPU 30a selects the change pattern P1 with the selection rate of 12/241 and the change pattern P2 with the selection rate of 229/241 when the number of special figure reservations is “2”. decide. When there is no change, the main CPU 30a sets the variation pattern P1 at the selection rate of 2/241 and the variation pattern P2 at the selection rate of 10/241 and 229/241 when the number of special figure hold storage is “3”. The variation pattern P3 is selected and determined with the selection rate of

  Further, when the game state is “low probability + variable” and “high probability + variable”, the main CPU 30a follows the variation pattern selection rate at the time of variation shown in FIG. Select. When there is a change, the main CPU 30a changes the change pattern P1 with the selection rate of 2/241, the change pattern P2 with the selection rate of 9/241, and the selection rate of 230/241 regardless of the number of special figure reservations. Each pattern P3 is selected and determined.

  The main CPU 30a having determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Next, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for instructing a special symbol. Then, the main 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 CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the special figure reserved memory number at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the special figure reserved memory number. And main CPU30a controls the display content of the special figure display device 23 with the start of a symbol fluctuation game. In other words, the main CPU 30a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and the special symbol (big hit symbol or the off symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed is confirmed and displayed. Let

Next, as the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a, the control contents during the big hit game and the small hit game will be described.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the big hit game and the small hit game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and outputs an ending command at the end. The opening command instructs the start of the opening, the round command instructs the start of the round game, and the ending command instructs the start of the ending. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal for opening the special winning opening door 28 at the start of each round game. The opening signal is output to the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 of the large winning opening door 28, the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 is operated by the opening signal, and the large winning opening door 28 is opened. Further, the main CPU 30a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game, and inputs a detection signal from the count sensor SE3 to count the number of game balls entered during the round game. The main CPU 30a then closes the grand prize winning door 28 by satisfying any end condition that the round game time has elapsed and the upper limit number of game balls have entered. Is output. The closing signal is output to the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 of the large winning opening door 28, the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 is activated by the closing signal, and the large winning opening door 28 is closed.

  The main CPU 30a that ended the big hit game and the small hit game sets “1” in the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given when the probability change big hit game is given. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Further, the main CPU 30a sets “0” to a probability variation flag indicating that a certain probability variation state is imparted when a non-probability variation big hit game is awarded. Further, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is provided when the variable state is provided until the end of the certain change state. When “1” is set in the operation flag, it indicates that the variable state is provided. When “0” is set, the variable state is not provided. Is shown. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c, and is cleared (set to “0”) when a big hit game is awarded.

  Further, the main CPU 30a sets the number of times of operation as 100 times as the number of times of the symbol variation game that gives the shortage state when the probability variation 15 round big hit game with 100 times shortage or the non-probability variable 15 round big hit game is given. Set. The number of times of changing state is subtracted by 1 every time the symbol change game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set).

  Then, the main CPU 30a outputs a high-probability designation command and a variable operation command when the gaming state is changed to the probabilistic state and the variable state after the big hit game ends, and when the gaming state is set to the variable state, the main CPU 30a operates the variable operation. Output only commands. On the other hand, in the case of a small hit game, since the gaming state at the time of the small hit game is maintained, the main CPU 30a controls the game state at the time of the small hit game even during the small hit game, and after the small hit game ends, the game Does not output commands that specify status. That is, when the main CPU 30a wins the small hit game, the main CPU 30a does not perform the state transition determination as to whether or not to give the probability variation state.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described.
When the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 receives the change pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to each of the control boards 32-34. Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs a special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a determines a decoration that constitutes a symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the effect display 22 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command.

  In determining the decoration diagram, the general CPU 31a determines that the first symbol combination of the decoration symbol is the first symbol combination when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the first probability variation 15 round jackpot game. The symbol combination (in this embodiment, an odd symbol) that can recognize the probability variation 15 round jackpot is determined. In addition, the stop symbol specified by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to any of the second probability variable 15 round jackpot game, the probability variable 15 round jackpot with 100 times change, and the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game. Suppose. In this case, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination (even symbols in this embodiment) that cannot recognize whether the winning combination is a winning combination or a non-probable variation winning combination as the decorative symbol combination. In addition, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the general CPU 31a indicates a probability variation suggestion from among the symbol combinations that can recognize the deviation as a symbol symbol combination. Determine the symbol combination. The symbol combination of the probability change suggestion is a combination of symbols that do not form a reach. Further, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is a small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion in the same manner as in the probability variation two round big hit game.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol excluding the small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the deviation. In the case of an outlier symbol, when determining a symbol combination that can recognize a discrepancy, a combination may be determined except for the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion, or a combination including the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion may be determined. You may decide. Further, when determining a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment including a reach formation symbol when a variation pattern for a detachment reach effect is instructed. On the other hand, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing a loss that does not include the reach formation symbol. Then, the overall CPU 31 a that has determined the decoration drawing outputs a decoration designating command for designating the decoration drawing to the display control board 32. Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs all symbol stop commands, the overall CPU 31a outputs the commands to the control boards 32 to 34.

Next, the control content related to the effect mode executed by the overall CPU 31a will be described.
The general CPU 31a is based on the type of jackpot symbol designated by the special symbol designation command output from the main CPU 30a, each designation command relating to the operation / non-operation (end) of the variable state, and the setting value of the effect mode flag. In addition, the transition mode of the effect mode is controlled. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the RAM 31c. When the overall CPU 31a sets the production mode flag, the overall CPU 31a outputs a mode designation command to instruct the production mode during the stay to each of the control boards 32 to 34. The control related to the effect mode by the overall CPU 31a, that is, specific control contents related to the transition of the effect mode will be described later.

Next, the control content related to the jackpot game executed by the overall CPU 31a will be described.
When the general CPU 31a receives an opening command, a round command, and an ending command, the general CPU 31a determines the effect content of the opening effect, the effect content of the round effect, and the effect content of the ending effect according to these commands. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs production instruction commands for instructing the decided production contents to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs the variation pattern designation command, the effect display 22 selects the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command and causes the symbol variation game to be executed with the effect content. Controls the display content of. At this time, the sub CPU 32a generates display data for displaying an image in accordance with the effect content using the image data in the ROM 32b based on the selected effect content.

  Then, the sub CPU 32a measures an elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the effect display 22 based on the measured time and display data for a predetermined control cycle. Switch every (for example, every 4 ms). Then, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display 22 so that when the all symbols stop command is input during the symbol change game, the effect instructed display is performed on the effect display 22 with the symbols instructed by the decorative symbol designation command. End the symbol variation game. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a mode designation command, the sub CPU 32a changes the background image based on the instruction content.

Next, mode control executed by the overall CPU 31a will be described.
First, the mode control in the high suggestion mode to which the variable state is given will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the overall CPU 31a checks the effect mode flag stored in the RAM 31c (step S101). When the production mode flag is set to “1”, the production mode is the normal mode. When the production mode flag is set to “2”, the production mode is the first. When the production mode flag is set to “3”, the production mode is the second high accuracy suggestion mode. When the production mode flag is set to “4”, the production mode is the third high suggestion mode, and when the production mode flag is set to “5”, When the production mode is the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode and “6” is set in the production mode flag, it indicates that the production mode is the high certainty mode.

  At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not a value indicating any one of the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode is set in the effect mode flag. If the determination result is negative (not the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode), the overall CPU 31a ends the change-mode operation.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is affirmative (any one of the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode), the general CPU 31a determines what the current symbol variation game is after the jackpot game ends. It is confirmed whether it is the second symbol variation game (current number of revolutions) (step S102). Specifically, when the variable state is given, the overall CPU 31a manages the number of symbol variation games to be executed after the big hit game is ended with a rotation number flag set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 31c. . Therefore, the overall CPU 31a confirms the value set in the rotation speed flag, thereby confirming how many times the current symbol variation game is the symbol variation game after the big hit game ends.

  Next, the general CPU 31a confirms the type of jackpot determined based on the winning of the jackpot lottery by the input special symbol designation command (step S103). Thereafter, the overall CPU 31a checks whether or not the rotation number read in step S102 is less than 91 rotations (step S104). If the determination result of step S104 is affirmative (within 90 revolutions), the overall CPU 31a subsequently sets a value for specifying the transition-destination effect mode in the mode stock release flag set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 31c. It is determined whether or not (stocked) (step S105). The mode stock release flag is internally determined to shift the production mode by winning the transition lottery before the current symbol variation game, but the variation pattern that triggers the transition is still selected. It is a flag indicating that it is not. Incidentally, when the mode stock release flag is set to “0”, it indicates that the destination production mode is not set, and when the mode stock release flag is set to “1”, It shows that the production mode of the transition destination is the normal mode. Further, when “2” is set in the mode stock release flag, it indicates that the effect mode of the transition destination is the first high suggestion mode. Further, when “3” is set in the mode stock release flag, it indicates that the destination production mode is the second high suggestion mode, and “4” is set in the mode stock release flag. If it is, it indicates that the production mode of the transition destination is the third high suggestion mode. Further, when “5” is set in the mode stock release flag, it indicates that the destination production mode is the fourth highly suggestive mode, and “6” is set in the mode stock release flag. If it is, it indicates that the production mode of the transition destination is the high-definition confirmation mode.

  If the determination result of step S105 is affirmative (stocked), the overall CPU 31a ends the variable time mode transition process without executing the primary lottery. That is, the overall CPU 31a does not execute a new lottery when the mode stock release flag is set. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S105 is negative (no stock), the overall CPU 31a performs the variation shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 according to the current rotation speed read in step S102 and the type of jackpot read in step S103. A primary lottery (mode shift lottery) for determining whether or not to shift the effect mode based on the time transition table is executed (step S106). At this time, the overall CPU 31a acquires the first mode transition random number from the RAM 31c. The random number for transition to the first mode is a random number that is sequentially updated by the overall CPU 31a every predetermined period, and the overall CPU 31a rewrites the value before the update by setting the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 31c. . In the present embodiment, the numerical values that can be taken by the random number for first mode transition are 211 total numbers from 0 to 210.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a uses the transition table to change the presentation mode based on the presentation mode currently staying, the type of jackpot, the value of the rotation number flag, and the first mode transition random number. Decide.

  As shown in FIG. 14 to FIG. 16, the transition table is categorized roughly according to the type of the current production mode and finely classified according to the value of the rotation speed flag, and each identifies “winning”. A winning pattern and a non-winning pattern for specifying “non-winning” are associated with each other. A random number for shifting to the first mode is assigned to each winning pattern and each non-winning pattern.

  Further, the transition table (FIG. 14) selected when the current presentation mode is the first high suggestion mode and the current presentation mode are selected when the second high suggestion mode is selected. In the variable time transition table (FIG. 15), the first high that is set by winning one of the 15 probability big hits of the non-probability variable, the second round 15 probability odds, and the probability round 15 round hits with 100 times variation. In the certain suggestion mode, the probability of winning the first lottery is set higher as the number of revolutions after the end of the big hit game increases. However, the first high probability suggestion mode that is set by winning the 15th round of non-probable variation is the first lottery than when staying in the first high probability suggestion mode that is set by winning other jackpots. It is difficult to win. In the following description, the table shown in FIG. 14 is referred to as a first change transition table, while the table shown in FIG. 15 is referred to as a second change transition table.

  On the other hand, in the variable time transition table selected when the current production mode is the third high accuracy suggestion mode (FIG. 16), when winning a non-probability variable 15 round big hit or a 100-time variable probability big hit, Regardless of the number of revolutions after the big hit game, it is set not to win the first lottery. In the following description, the table shown in FIG. 16 is referred to as a third variable time transition table. Further, in the third transition time transition table (FIG. 16), when the production mode is the third high probability suggestion mode set by winning the second probability variation 15 round big hit, the big hit game ends. As the number of subsequent rotations increases, the probability of winning the first lottery is set higher. Note that the third variable time transition table is set so that the probability of winning the first lottery is lower than that of the first variable time transition table and the second variable time transition table.

  For example, it is assumed that the value of the rotation speed flag during the stay in the first high accuracy suggestion mode set by winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is “30”. In this case, the overall CPU 31a determines “winning” with a probability of 14/211 and determines “non-winning” with a probability of 197/211.

  In each transition table, the first lottery is executed at the start of each symbol variation game until the number of revolutions after the big hit game reaches the 90th rotation, and the 91st rotation In the subsequent symbol variation games, the primary lottery is not executed.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the transition of the production mode has been determined, that is, whether or not the winning pattern has been determined in Step S106 (Step S107). If the determination result is negative (a non-winning pattern has been determined), the overall CPU 31a directly ends the variable mode switching process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S107 is affirmative (the winning pattern has been determined), the overall CPU 31a follows the current rotational speed read in step S102 and the jackpot type read in step S103 according to FIGS. A secondary lottery (transition lottery) for determining the transition destination production mode is executed based on the transition time transition table shown (step S108). At this time, the overall CPU 31a acquires the second mode transition random number from the RAM 31c. The random number for transition to the second mode is a random number that is sequentially updated every predetermined cycle by the overall CPU 31a, and the overall CPU 31a rewrites the value before the update by setting the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 31c. . In the present embodiment, the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for transition to the second mode are 97 different integers from 0 to 96.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the transition destination production mode based on the presentation mode during the current stay, the type of jackpot, the value of the rotation speed flag, and the second mode transition random number using the transition table. .

  In the transition table shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the transition destination production mode is associated according to the value of the production mode flag indicating the type of the current mode, the type of jackpot, and the value of the rotation speed flag. Yes. In the transition table shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern that specifies the “second high-accuracy suggestion mode” and the third high-specificity that specifies the “third high-accuracy suggestion mode”. A positive suggestion pattern, a fourth highly accurate suggestion pattern that specifies “fourth highly accurate suggestion mode”, and a non-winning pattern that specifies “do not shift the production mode (non-winning)” are associated with each other. Each pattern is assigned a random number for shifting to the second mode.

  In the first transition table (FIG. 14), the primary during the first high suggestion mode stay set by winning the non-probable 15 round jackpot or the 100-round odd jackpot 15 round jackpot. When the lottery is won, the probability of winning the second lottery increases as the number of rotations after the big hit game increases. Specifically, the selection probability is set so as to increase in the order of the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the non-winning pattern. The random number for mode transition is not assigned. However, the first high probability suggestion mode set by winning the non-probable 15 round jackpot is when staying in the first high suggestion mode set by winning the 100 round odd variation 15 round jackpot Rather than the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern or the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern. On the other hand, if the first lottery game is won during the first high probability suggestion mode stay set by winning the second round of probability variation 15 in the first transition table (FIG. 14), the big hit game ends. As the number of subsequent rotations increases, the probability of winning the secondary lottery is set higher. Specifically, the selection probability is set to increase in the order of the fourth high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the non-winning pattern. That is, it is possible to shift to the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode only when staying in the first high-accuracy suggestion mode set by winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot.

  Further, in the second transition time transition table (FIG. 15), the primary during the second high suggestion mode stay set by winning the non-probable 15 round jackpot or the 100-round odd jackpot 15 round jackpot. When the lottery is won, the probability of winning the second lottery increases as the number of rotations after the big hit game increases. Specifically, the probability of selection is set to be higher in the order of the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the non-winning pattern, and the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern and the fourth high-accuracy suggestion pattern are the second. The random number for mode transition is not assigned. However, the second high probability suggestion mode set by winning the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot is when the second high probability suggestion mode set by winning the probability variable 15 round jackpot with 100 times variation Rather, the selection rate of the third highly suggestive pattern is set to be lower. On the other hand, if the first lottery is won while staying in the second high suggestion mode set by winning the second round 15 in the second transition table (FIG. 15), the big hit game ends. As the number of subsequent rotations increases, the probability of winning the secondary lottery is set higher. Specifically, the selection probability is set so as to increase in the order of the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the fourth high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the non-winning pattern. The random number for mode transition is not assigned. That is, only when staying in the second high accuracy suggestion mode set by winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot, it is possible to shift to the fourth high accuracy suggestion mode, The probability that the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode is selected is set to be higher than when the highly accurate suggestive mode is staying.

  In addition, in the third transition time transition table (FIG. 16), the primary during the third high probability suggestion mode set by winning the non-probable 15 round jackpot or the 100-variable odd variation 15 round jackpot. Even if the lottery is performed, the second mode transition random number value is distributed so that only the non-winning pattern is selected. On the other hand, if the first lottery is won while staying in the third high-accuracy suggestion mode set by winning the 15th round of jackpot in the second probability variation, the fourth high-accuracy suggestion pattern is always selected. Random values for second mode transition are assigned. Therefore, it is possible to shift to the fourth high probability suggestion mode only while staying in the third high probability suggestion mode set by winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot.

  For example, it is assumed that the value of the rotation speed flag while staying in the first high-accuracy suggestion mode set by winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is “30” and further winning the first lottery. In this case, the overall CPU 31a sets the “second highly accurate suggestion mode” with a probability of 30/97, the “third highly accurate suggestion mode” with a probability of 8/97, and the “fourth highly accurate suggestion mode” with a probability of 6/97. Will be determined with the probability of 53/97.

  In addition, in each change time transition table, as in the primary lottery, the secondary lottery is executed at the start of each symbol variation game until the number of rotations after the big hit game reaches the 90th rotation. In the symbol variation game after the 91st rotation, the secondary lottery is not executed.

  By setting such a transition time transition table, during the high-probability suggestion mode in which the variable state is given, the high degree of expectation that the probability-change state is set higher than the current production mode by promotion lottery It is determined whether or not to shift to the certain suggestion mode. In other words, during the high-accuracy suggestion mode in which the variable state is given, expectation can be given to the fact that the probability change state is given. And even if it is a case where the promotion lottery is not won, the current production mode is continued, so it is possible to shift to the production mode in which the expectation level is lower than the current production mode. Absent. Also, the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode can be selected only when the second probability variation 15 round big hit is won.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the transition destination (promotion destination) presentation mode based on the lottery result of the secondary lottery (step S109), and sets the value specifying the determined presentation mode in the mode stock discharge flag (stock) ) (Step S110), the mode change processing at the time of change is finished as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S104 is negative (after 91 rotations), the overall CPU 31a reads and checks the value set in the mode stock release flag (step S111). At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the effect mode flag indicates any one of the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode. If this determination result is negative (not the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode), the overall CPU 31a checks whether or not the rotation speed read in step S102 is 100 rotations ( Step S112). If the determination result in step S112 is affirmative (100th rotation), the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the type of jackpot read in step S103 is the second probability variation 15 round jackpot (step S113). If the determination result in step S113 is affirmative (the second probability variation 15 round big hit), the overall CPU 31a specifies a fourth highly suggestive mode at the start of the 100th symbol variation game (this implementation) In the form, “5”) is forcibly set in the mode stock release flag (step S114), and the mode change process at the time of change is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S112 is negative (91 rotations or more and less than 100 rotations), and if the determination result in step S113 is negative (a big hit other than the second probability variation 15 round big hit), the overall CPU 31a changes as it is. The hour mode transition process is terminated. In the present embodiment, the value for specifying the fourth high-probability suggestion mode is set in the mode stock release flag by winning the second round of probability variation 15 rounds, but the number of times the symbol variation game is executed is set. Even when the variation pattern capable of shifting the mode even after exceeding 100 times is not selected, the shift mode shifting process is ended.

  If the determination result in step S111 is affirmative (the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode are set), the overall CPU 31a clears the value of the mode stock release flag (step S115). ), The changing mode switching process is terminated. In other words, the overall CPU 31a does not shift to the high accuracy suggestion mode other than the fourth high accuracy suggestion mode in the 91st and subsequent symbol variation games.

  The overall CPU 31a counts the number of executions every time the symbol variation game is executed after the big hit game is completed, and executes the change-time mode transition process. Note that the overall CPU 31a clears the value of the rotation speed flag when winning the winning combination. In addition, the overall CPU 31a does not count the number of revolutions when the mode is shifted to the fourth high accuracy suggestion mode or when the overall CPU 31a is shifted to the high accuracy determination mode.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not a value for specifying the transition destination production mode is set in the mode stock release flag at the start of the symbol variation game. If the determination result is affirmative, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the variation pattern designation command input from the main CPU 30a is a command for designating a specific variation pattern (in this embodiment, the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7). Determine. When the input variation pattern designation command is a command for designating the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7, the overall CPU 31a shifts to the effect mode specified by the value set in the mode stock discharge flag. The mode designation command is output to each of the control boards 32-34.

  In this embodiment, in order to increase the digestion efficiency of the symbol variation game during the variation state, the winning probability of the reach lottery is set to be low, and “shortening variation” having a variation time shorter than the variation pattern P1 is set. It is set so that the selectivity of the set fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 is high. In this case, no matter how much the variation pattern P1 is set as the variation pattern that triggers the mode transition, the variation pattern P1 is difficult to select during the variation state, and therefore the mode transition effect cannot be executed. If the variation patterns P2 and P3 that have a high probability of being selected during the variable state are set as the variable patterns that trigger the mode transition, the mode transition effect is important for informing whether or not the high-probability lottery state is in effect. Regardless of the effect, the player cannot be excited over a long time, and the effect mode is frequently changed. Therefore, the variation pattern that is the trigger for transition of the production mode in the high suggestion mode when the variation state is given in the present embodiment is the variation pattern that is substantially the same as the variation pattern P1 and the variation pattern P1. P7.

  For example, after the big hit game is over, the mode is shifted to the second high probability suggestion mode. After the big hit game is over, at the start of the 35th symbol variation game, the promotion lottery is won to enter the “third high probability suggestion mode”. Suppose that the migration is decided. In this case, the mode stock release flag is set to “3”. However, if the variation pattern specifying the variation content of the 35th symbol variation game is not the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7, The mode does not shift to 3 high suggestion mode. Further, in the 35th symbol variation game, since the value for specifying the transition destination effect mode is set in the mode stock release flag, the promotion lottery is not executed until the effect mode specified by the value is shifted. Thereafter, for example, it is assumed that the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7 is selected in the 40th symbol variation game. In this case, in the 40th symbol variation game, a mode transition effect as shown in FIG. 6 is performed, and an image of “the third highly suggestive mode promotion” is displayed, and the mode shifts to the third highly suggestive mode. It will be.

  In addition, when the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is won, the value for specifying the fourth high probability suggestion mode is set in the mode stock release flag between the end of the jackpot game and the end of the 100th symbol variation game. When it is not set, at the start of the 100th symbol variation game, a value for specifying the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode is set in the mode stock release flag. After that, when a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7 is input, the effect mode shifts to the fourth highly suggestive mode, and the player enters the current lottery probability state by shifting to the mode. Can be recognized to be in a high probability lottery state. In other words, when winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot, even when staying in the “high probability suggestion mode”, after the jackpot game is over, the operation mode of the opening and closing blades 27 from the 101st symbol variation game is Players now know that they have won the 2nd 15th round big hit. As a result, since it is not necessary to keep the current gaming state secret from the player, the current lottery can be performed by shifting to the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode in the symbol variation game after the 101st game after the jackpot game ends. The player is notified that the probability state is the high probability lottery state.

  In addition, if the second probability variation 15 round big win is won, the fourth high probability suggestion mode is won in the second lottery executed in the symbol variation game before the 100th symbol variation game after the big hit game ends. Suppose that In this case, if the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7 is selected, even if not after the symbol variation game is executed 100 times after the big hit game is finished, the first variation in the symbol variation game in which the variation pattern is selected. The shift to the high-accuracy suggestion mode 4 is notified.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reach probability in the variable state is set to be low, and if the reach lottery is not won, the probability that the variation patterns P2 and P3 specifying the short variation are selected Is set to be high. As a result, during the high suggestion mode to which the variable state is given, it is difficult to select the variation pattern P1 that triggers the mode transition, so just because the effect mode flag is set in the RAM 31c. As long as the fluctuation pattern P1 is not selected, the effect mode cannot be shifted. However, as a variation pattern that triggers mode transition, by setting the variation pattern P7 for the outlier reach effect that specifies the normal reach as the variation content, the variation pattern P1 for the outlier effect is originally difficult to be selected. There will be more opportunities to change modes. As a result, when the second probability variation 15 round big hit is won, the number of opportunities to shift to the fourth high probability suggestion mode is increased, so that the current lottery probability state is quickly set to the high probability lottery state. Can be recognized by the player.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of types (two types in the present embodiment) of production contents are associated with the variation pattern P7. Specifically, when the variation pattern P7 is designated, a normal pattern for specifying the content of the effect (normal content of variation) for displaying the out-of-order symbol combination forming the reach on the effect display 22 is set. Furthermore, when the variation pattern P7 is selected, a special pattern for specifying the content of the effect (special variation content) for displaying an out-of-order symbol combination that does not form reach on the effect display 22 is set. These patterns are stored in the ROM 31b.

  Thereby, the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P7, and when the primary lottery is not won, the general CPU 31a always selects the normal pattern and performs the symbol variation based on the normal pattern. A normal pattern designation command is output to the display control board 32 so as to be executed. On the other hand, the overall CPU 31a has input a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P7, and the mode stock release flag is set with a value specifying the destination production mode, and has won the secondary lottery. And In this case, the overall CPU 31a always selects a special pattern and outputs a special pattern designation command to the display control board 32 so as to execute symbol variation based on the special pattern.

Next, mode control when the variable state is not given will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the overall CPU 31a checks the effect mode flag set in the RAM 31c (step S201). At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not a value that specifies any one of the normal mode, the first high-accuracy suggestion mode, and the second high-accuracy suggestion mode is set in the effect mode flag. To do. If this determination result is negative (not the normal mode, the first high-accuracy suggestion mode, and the second high-accuracy suggestion mode), the overall CPU 31a ends the non-variable mode switching process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S201 is affirmative (any one of the normal mode, the first high-accuracy suggestion mode, and the second high-accuracy suggestion mode), the overall CPU 31a sets the mode rotational speed set in the RAM 31c. The value of the flag is confirmed, and it is confirmed how many times the current symbol variation game is the symbol variation game (current number of rotations) after the effect mode is shifted (step S202). Specifically, when the effect CPU is shifted to the production mode, the overall CPU 31a manages the number of executions of the symbol variation game after the effect mode is changed by the mode rotation speed flag set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 31c. Yes. For this reason, the overall CPU 31a confirms the value set in the mode rotation speed flag, thereby confirming how many times the current symbol variation game is the symbol variation game since the effect mode has shifted. Become.

  Next, the overall CPU 31a checks the current lottery probability state based on whether or not a high probability designation command is input from the main CPU 30a (step S203). Thereafter, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the mode stock release flag is set to a value that specifies the transition destination production mode determined according to the winning of the falling lottery (whether it is stocked) (step S204). . If the determination result of step S204 is affirmative (the content of the fall is stocked), the overall CPU 31a ends the non-change-time mode transition process as it is. That is, the overall CPU 31a does not execute a new lottery when the fall contents are set in the mode stock release flag. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S204 is negative (the content of the fall is not stocked), the general CPU 31a has a value that specifies the transition destination production mode determined according to the winning of the promotion lottery in the mode stock release flag. It is determined whether it is set (step S205). Thus, in this embodiment, the falling lottery is executed after the promotion lottery is executed.

  If the determination result in step S205 is negative (the promotion content is not stocked), the overall CPU 31a is shown in FIG. 17 according to the current rotation speed read in step S202 and the type of lottery probability state read in step S203. A primary lottery (promotional lottery) for determining whether or not to shift the effect mode based on the non-change time transition table is executed (step S206). At this time, the overall CPU 31a acquires the first mode transition random number from the RAM 31c.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a uses the non-change time transition table to determine whether or not to shift the rendering mode based on the current rendering mode, the lottery probability state, the value of the mode rotation speed flag, and the first mode transition random number. To decide.

  In the non-change time transition table (FIG. 17), whether or not to win or not according to the value of the production mode flag indicating the type of the current mode, the lottery probability state, and the value of the mode rotation number flag. Are associated with each other, and random numbers for shifting to the first mode are assigned to “winning” and “non-winning”. In the following description, the table shown in FIG. 17 is referred to as a non-change time transition table for promotion.

  In the non-change time transition table for promotion (FIG. 17), the first lottery is not executed in the symbol variation game after the 21st time since the production mode is started while staying in the normal mode. When the probability state is in the low probability lottery state, it is set so that the first lottery can hardly be won. Incidentally, when the lottery probability state is in the high probability lottery state, the probability of winning the primary lottery is set higher than in the case of the low probability lottery state.

  Further, in the non-change time transition table for promotion (FIG. 17), during the stay in the first high suggestion mode or the second high suggestion mode, the symbol variation after the 21st performance mode starts. The primary lottery is also executed in the game.

  And in the 1st to 20th symbol variation game after the start of the production mode, the probability of winning the first lottery is low when the lottery probability state during the first high suggestion mode is the low probability lottery state. It is set to be. On the other hand, in the 21st and subsequent symbol variation games, the winning probability is set to be higher than the probability of winning the primary lottery executed during the 1st to 20th symbol variation games. In addition, in the first to tenth symbol variation games in the eleventh and subsequent symbol variation games, the lottery probability state while staying in the first highly accurate suggestion mode is the high probability lottery state and the production mode is started. The winning probability is set to be higher than the probability of winning the primary lottery executed at the same time.

  In addition, in the non-change time transition table for promotion (FIG. 17), when the lottery probability state during the second high-probability suggestion mode is the low-probability lottery state, it is set so that the first lottery can hardly be won. Has been. In addition, in the 11th and subsequent symbol variation games after the start of the production mode, the lottery probability state during the second highly accurate suggestion mode stays in the high probability lottery state. The winning probability is set to be higher than the probability of winning the primary lottery executed at the same time.

  For example, it is assumed that the lottery probability state while staying in the first highly accurate suggestion mode is the high probability lottery state, and that the value of the mode rotation speed flag is “21”. In this case, the overall CPU 31a determines “winning” with a probability of 35/211 and determines “non-winning” with a probability of 176/211.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the transition to the effect mode has been determined, that is, whether or not the winning pattern has been determined in Step S206 (Step S207). If the determination result is negative (a non-winning pattern has been determined), the overall CPU 31a directly ends the non-change / short-time mode transition process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S207 is affirmative (the winning pattern has been determined), the overall CPU 31a follows the current number of rotations read in step S202 and the lottery probability state read in step S203. Based on the time transition table (FIG. 17), the secondary lottery (transition lottery) for determining the transition destination production mode is executed (step S208). At this time, the overall CPU 31a acquires the second mode transition random number from the RAM 31c.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a uses the promotion non-change time transition table (FIG. 17), based on the current lottery probability state, the value of the mode rotation speed flag, and the second mode transition random number, and the transition destination effect. Determine the mode.

  In the non-change time transition table for promotion (FIG. 17), the value of the effect mode flag indicating the type of the current mode, the current lottery probability state, and the value of the mode rotation speed flag are the same as the first mode transition random number. The transition destination production modes are associated with each other. In the non-variable short-time transition table for promotion (FIG. 17), the first highly accurate suggestion pattern, the second highly accurate suggestion pattern, and the third highly accurate suggestion pattern that specify the “first highly accurate suggestion mode”. , And a non-winning pattern are associated with each other. Each pattern is assigned a random number for shifting to the second mode.

  In the non-change time shift table for promotion (FIG. 17), if the lottery probability state during the normal mode stay is the low probability lottery state and the first lottery is won, the eleventh time after the start of the production mode. In the 20th symbol variation game, the selection rate of the first highly suggestive pattern is set to be higher than that in the 1st to 10th symbol variation games. On the other hand, if the lottery probability state during the normal mode stays in the high probability lottery state and the primary lottery is won, the secondary lottery with the same lottery probability regardless of the number of rotations after the production mode starts. Is to be executed. Specifically, the selection probability is set so as to increase in the order of the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern = the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern <the first high-accuracy suggestion pattern. The random number for mode transition is not assigned.

  Further, in the non-change time shift table for promotion (FIG. 17), when the lottery probability state during the first high-probability suggestion mode is the low-probability lottery state and the first lottery is won, the effect mode The secondary lottery is executed with the same lottery probability regardless of the number of rotations since the start. Specifically, the selection probability is set so as to increase in the order of the third highly accurate suggestion pattern <the second highly accurate suggestive pattern <the non-winning pattern. Further, in the non-change time transition table for promotion (FIG. 17), when the lottery probability state during the first high-probability suggestion mode is the high-probability lottery state and the first lottery is won, the effect mode The secondary lottery is executed with the same lottery probability regardless of the number of rotations since the start. Specifically, it is set so that the selection probability increases in the order of the third highly accurate suggestion pattern <the second highly accurate suggestion pattern <the non-winning pattern, and the lottery probability state becomes the low probability lottery state. The probability that the second high-accuracy suggestion pattern and the third high-accuracy suggestion pattern are selected is set to be higher than that of the case. In other words, when the variable state is not given, it is determined whether or not to shift to the production mode that is set with a higher expectation level that is the probability variation state than the production mode during the current stay. The suggestion mode is not selected.

  In addition, in the non-change time transition table (FIG. 17), when the first lottery is won regardless of the type of the lottery probability state during the second highly accurate suggestion mode stay, after the production mode starts. Regardless of the number of rotations, the secondary lottery is executed with the same lottery probability. Specifically, the selection probability is set so as to increase in the order of the third highly suggestive pattern <the non-winning pattern.

  For example, it is assumed that the lottery probability state while staying in the first high suggestion mode is the high probability lottery state and the value of the mode rotation number flag is “21”, and that the first lottery is won. In this case, the overall CPU 31a sets the “second high suggestion mode” at a probability of 33/97, the “third high suggestion mode” at a probability of 6/97, and the “first highly accurate suggestion mode” at a probability of 58/97. "Highly suggestive mode (non-winning)".

  By setting such a non-change time transition table, if no change state is given, a high probability suggestion that the expected degree of probability change state is set higher than the current performance mode by promotion lottery Whether or not to shift to the mode is determined, but the fourth high suggestion mode is not selected as the shift destination. And even if it is a case where the promotion lottery is not won, the current production mode is continued, so it is possible to shift to the production mode in which the expectation level is lower than the current production mode. Absent. Further, the higher the expectation level that the production mode currently staying is in a probabilistic state is set higher, the higher the probability that the third high suggestion mode will be selected as the transition destination.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the effect mode of the transition destination (promotion destination) based on the lottery result of the secondary lottery (step S209), and sets a value for specifying the determined effect mode in the mode stock discharge flag (stock) ) (Step S210), the mode change processing at the time of change is finished as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S205 is affirmative (the promotion content is stocked), the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the current effect mode is the normal mode (step S211). If the determination result in step S211 is affirmative (the current effect mode is the normal mode), the overall CPU 31a does not need to perform a falling lottery while staying in the normal mode, and thus ends the non-change-time mode transition process. . On the other hand, if the determination result in step S211 is negative (the current effect mode is not the normal mode), the overall CPU 31a follows the current rotation speed read in step S202 and the type of the lottery probability state read in step S203. A primary lottery (falling lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to change the effect mode based on the non-change time transition table shown in FIG. 18 (step S212). At this time, the overall CPU 31a acquires the first mode transition random number from the RAM 31c.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a uses the non-change time transition table (FIG. 18) to determine whether or not to shift the rendering mode based on the value of the mode rotation speed flag and the first mode transition random number. In the following description, the table shown in FIG. 18 is referred to as a non-change-time transition table for falling.

  The non-change-time transition table for falling (FIG. 18) wins or does not win according to the value of the mode rotation number flag regardless of the type of effect mode and the lottery probability state during the stay. Are associated with each other, and random numbers for shifting to the first mode are assigned to “winning” and “non-winning”. “Winning” indicates a shift to the normal mode. For example, it is assumed that the lottery probability state while staying in the first highly accurate suggestion mode is the high probability lottery state, and that the value of the mode rotation speed flag is “21”. In this case, the overall CPU 31a determines “winning” with a probability of 18/211 and determines “non-winning” with a probability of 181/211.

Further, in the non-change time transition table for falling (FIG. 18), the probability of winning is set higher as the number of symbol variation games after the start of the effect mode increases.
Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the transition to the effect mode has been determined, that is, whether or not the winning pattern has been determined in Step S212 (Step S213). If the determination result is negative (a non-winning pattern has been determined), the overall CPU 31a directly ends the non-change / short-time mode transition process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S212 is affirmative (the winning pattern is determined), the overall CPU 31a sets (stocks) the value specifying the normal mode in the mode stock release flag (step S214), and then remains unchanged. The short time mode transition process is terminated. That is, the overall CPU 31a rewrites the value of the mode stock discharge flag to a value that specifies the normal mode even if the value specifying the promotion mode of the promotion destination is set in the mode stock discharge flag.

  Then, when the overall mode 31 is shifted to the production mode, the overall CPU 31a counts the number of executions every time the symbol variation game is executed after the transition to the production mode, and executes the above-mentioned mode change processing. Note that the overall CPU 31a clears the value of the mode rotation number flag when winning a winning game or when changing the effect mode. Further, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not a value for specifying the transition destination effect mode is set in the mode stock release flag at the start of the symbol variation game. If the value specifying the promotion mode of the promotion destination is set in the mode stock release flag, the falling lottery is executed. And if a specific variation pattern (variation pattern P1 in this embodiment) is not selected in a state in which a value specifying the promotion mode of the promotion destination is set in the mode stock release flag, The content of the mode stock release flag is rewritten to a value that specifies the effect mode flag that specifies the fall destination from the promoted destination. When the input variation pattern designation command is a command for designating the variation pattern P1, the overall CPU 31a makes a mode designation command so as to shift to the effect mode specified by the value set in the mode stock discharge flag. Are output to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

  By executing such control, even if the mode is shifted to the normal mode based on the winning of the falling lottery, the mode stock release flag is not set with a value for specifying the transition destination production mode. Therefore, the promotion lottery is executed again, and when the promotion lottery is won, it is possible to shift to the high suggestion mode. In addition, the mode transition effect when the variable state is not assigned has an expectation as to which effect mode is to be transferred rather than giving an expectation to the fact that the probable state is assigned. It comes to have.

  In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a functions as an effect mode determination unit, a storage setting unit, and a variation content determination unit. Further, the ROM 31b functions as a change content storage unit. The RAM 31c functions as a storage unit.

Next, the control content related to the effect mode executed by the sub CPU 32a will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a receives a mode designation command from the overall CPU 31a, the sub CPU 32a displays the effect display 22 so as to execute the mode transition effect in a manner as shown in FIG. 6 so as to shift to the effect mode specified by the command. Control the content. When the change pattern P7 is selected and the transition to the production mode is determined, a special pattern is designated by the overall CPU 31a, so the sub CPU 32a does not form a reach according to the contents designated by the special pattern designation command. The display content of the effect display 22 is controlled so as to stop and display the symbol combination that is out of place. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 32a functions as an effect mode control means.

Next, the execution opportunity of the promotion lottery and the falling lottery will be described based on FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b).
In FIG. 19 (a), it is premised that the game is shifted to the high probability suggestion mode in response to the winning of the non-probability variable 15 round big hit, and the game is shifted from the 101th symbol variation game to the normal mode after the big hit game ends.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (a), when the promotion lottery is won while staying in the normal mode, the value specifying the destination production mode determined in the promotion lottery is set in the mode stock release flag. . At this time, if it is decided to shift to the first high suggestion mode in the promotion lottery, the mode stock release flag is set to “2”. Then, assuming that the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7 is selected in a state in which the value for specifying the transition destination production mode is set in the mode stock release flag, the mode transition is performed during the symbol variation game in which the variation pattern is selected. The effect is executed, and the effect mode shifts from the normal mode to the first high suggestion mode (time point a1). At this time, the value of the mode stock release flag is cleared. And since the value of the mode stock discharge flag is cleared during the first highly accurate suggestion mode, the promotion lottery is executable. Then, the promotion lottery is executed every time after the first highly accurate suggestion mode is started, and in the promotion lottery executed in the tenth symbol variation game after the first highly accurate suggestion mode is started, If it is elected to shift to the high accuracy suggestion mode, “3” for specifying the second high accuracy suggestion mode is set in the mode stock release flag (time point a2). At this time, since the value “3” for specifying the transition destination production mode is set in the mode stock release flag, the falling lottery is executed thereafter.

  Then, during execution of the falling lottery, the fluctuation pattern P1 or the fluctuation pattern P7 is not selected, and “falling” is won in the falling lottery executed in the 30th symbol fluctuation game after the first highly accurate suggestion mode is started. Suppose (time point a3). At this time, the overall CPU 31a deletes the value “3” set in the mode stock release flag, and instead sets “1” for specifying the normal mode. At this time, since the mode stock release flag is set to “1”, the falling lottery is not executed in the subsequent symbol variation game. If the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 33rd symbol variation game after the first highly accurate suggestion mode is started, the mode transition effect is executed during the symbol variation game, and the transition destination effect mode is normally set. The mode is notified (time point a4).

  On the other hand, in FIG. 19 (b), it is premised that the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is won, and the high probability suggestion mode that shifts after the jackpot game ends is the first high probability suggestion mode. And

  As shown in FIG. 19 (b), when the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is won, after the jackpot game is over, the mode shifts to the first high probability suggestion mode (time point b1). Then, the promotion lottery is executed every time after the first highly accurate suggestion mode is started, and after the jackpot game is finished, the promotion lottery executed in the tenth symbol variation game is shifted to the second highly accurate suggestion mode. If the winning is made, the value “3” specifying the second highly suggestive mode is set in the mode stock release flag (time point b2). If the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 10th symbol variation game after the big hit game ends, a mode transition effect is executed during the symbol variation game, and the second accuracy indication is changed from the first accuracy indication mode to the second accuracy indication. It will be notified that the mode will be shifted. At this time, the value set in the mode stock release flag is cleared. At this point in time, the value of the mode stock release flag is cleared, so that the promotion lottery can be executed.

  Then, after the jackpot game is over, it is assumed that the promotion lottery executed in the 30th symbol variation game is won to shift to the third high suggestion mode (time point b3). If the variation pattern P1 is selected in the 30th symbol variation game after the big hit game is finished, a mode transition effect is executed during the symbol variation game, and the third accuracy indication mode is changed to the third accuracy indication mode. It will be notified that the mode will be shifted. At this time, the overall CPU 31a clears the value set in the mode stock release flag, and sets a value “4” that specifies the third high suggestion mode.

  Then, in the 91st symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game, since the effect mode flag is set to “4”, the overall CPU 31a clears the mode stock release flag at the start of the symbol variation game (time point b4). . Thereby, in the symbol variation game after the 91st game after the big hit game ends, the promotion lottery is not executed and the transition of the effect mode is not executed. Then, at the start of the 100th symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game, the overall CPU 31a sets a value “5” for specifying the fourth highly suggestive mode in the mode stock release flag (time point b5). If the variation pattern P7 is set in the 103th symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game, the mode transition effect is executed during the symbol variation game, and the third accuracy suggestion mode is changed to the fourth accuracy indication mode. It will be notified that it will shift to (time b6). Thereby, the player recognizes that the current lottery probability state is the high probability lottery state by shifting to the fourth high probability suggestion mode.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) As the types of big hits, first hit (non-probability variable 15 round big hit in this embodiment) and second hit (second positive change 15 round big hit in this embodiment) are set. A high accuracy suggestion mode is set so that it is not known which jackpot is won until it is notified that the state is in a high probability lottery state. In the second probability variation 15 round jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, the 101st symbol variation game is also given a varying state, and the open / close blades 27 are in a high probability lottery state. Since it is visually recognizable, there is no meaning even if the high suggestion mode is continued, so that the high probability lottery state is promptly notified. However, since the probability that a symbol variation game with a short variation time is executed is high during the high probability suggestion mode in which the variable state is given, the general CPU 31a wins the second probability variation round 15 big hit In the symbol variation game executed after the 100th time, it is forcibly set to shift to the high probability determination mode. At the same time, when the symbol variation game is executed with the variation content that can be shifted (normal reach deviation or normal variation), the overall CPU 31a causes the player to shift to the high probability determination mode, thereby allowing the player to change the second probability variation 15 to 15%. You can be informed easily that you have won the round jackpot.

  (2) The overall CPU 31a releases the mode stock if the fourth high suggestion mode is determined as the transition destination effect mode even if the high probability suggestion mode is set in the mode stock release flag. After clearing the stored contents of the flag, a value for specifying the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode is always set. As a result, the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode can be surely executed, and the interest of the player can be improved by executing the fourth highly accurate suggestion mode.

  (3) The fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode has a low appearance rate in order to keep the degree of expectation of the mode high. Therefore, although the transition to the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode having a low appearance rate is determined, the transition to the effect mode in which the expectation level, which is the probability variation state, is set lower than that in the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode Is determined, it may be impossible to shift to the fourth high-accuracy suggestion mode that has been determined. Therefore, the occurrence of such a state is suppressed, and the fourth high-accuracy suggestion is performed. You can enter mode.

  (4) Even if any one of the first high probability suggestion mode to the third high probability suggestion mode is set in the mode stock release flag, after the big hit game ends, the symbol variation game after the 91st time Then, the production mode was not changed. As a result, for example, the player is discouraged when the mode is shifted to the normal mode as soon as the shift state ends, despite the shift to the third high suggestion mode at the end of the shift state. Such a situation can be prevented from occurring.

  (5) During the highly accurate suggestion mode to which the variable state is given, it is determined whether or not to shift to the production mode set with a higher expectation level that is the probability variation state than the current production mode by the transition lottery. I made it. In addition, during the high suggestion mode to which the variable state is given, the probability that the symbol variation game with a short variation time is executed is high, and the effect mode cannot be easily shifted. Therefore, the general CPU 31a stocks the fact that the production mode is promoted when winning the transition lottery, and when the symbol variation game is executed with the variation content (normal reach deviation or normal variation) that can be shifted, Switch to the mode of the content you are doing. On the other hand, during the highly accurate suggestion mode when in the non-variable short state, the probability that a symbol variation game with a long variation time will be executed is high, so that the production mode is promoted or falls, Changed the player's expectation by changing the mode. This makes it possible to set a different production mode transition mode depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and to execute a mode transition corresponding to the current production mode, thereby diversifying the production.

  (6) The falling lottery is executed after the promotion lottery. Thereby, for example, when the mode stock release flag is set to shift to the third high suggestion mode, but the symbol variation game that triggers the transition to the effect mode has not been executed for a long time. In spite of the fact that the mode has finally shifted to the third high accuracy suggestion mode, it is possible that the mode immediately shifts to the normal mode based on the winning of the falling lottery. In such a case, the promotion of the production mode does not make sense, and the player's interest is reduced, so it is possible to suppress falling into such a situation, and the production mode with high expectation that is a probable state Thus, switching to the production mode with low expectation that is a probable change state can be executed in a balance that does not reduce the interest of the player.

  (7) The overall CPU 31a clears the stored content when the winning lottery (big win lottery or small win lottery) is won in a state in which the value for specifying the transition destination production mode is set in the mode stock release flag. . Thereby, since the effect mode based on the type of winning game determined by winning the winning lottery is preferentially executed, it is assumed that the value specifying the effect mode of the fall destination is set in the mode stock release flag. However, the production mode of the content that falls is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to make the player expect again that the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state depending on the type of effect mode.

  (8) Since the effect mode is determined based on the number of symbol variation games after the effect mode is switched, it is possible to set the effect mode according to the game situation at that time.

  (9) When the variation pattern P7 is determined in the symbol variation game after the 100th game after winning the second probability variation 15 round jackpot, and the variation pattern P7 is determined in the 100th and subsequent games, there is an irrelevant symbol combination. By making the fixed stop display, it is possible to realize a mode transition effect that does not give the player a sense of incongruity, and to increase the chance of transition to the high-impact suggestion mode.

  (10) When the value for specifying the fourth highly suggestive mode is already set in the mode stock release flag, the transition lottery is not performed, so that it is possible to save time and effort for executing the extra control.

  (11) The fluctuation pattern P1 and the fluctuation pattern P7 are set as the fluctuation patterns that trigger the execution of the mode transition effect in the variable speed state. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the mode frequently changes during the variable state, or conversely, the mode does not change at all.

  (12) The first mode transition random number distribution number is changed according to the value of the rotation speed flag or the mode rotation speed flag. For this reason, the probability that the mode transition is internally determined can be changed according to the rotational speed. That is, it is possible to change the probability that the production mode will shift intentionally, such as when the production mode is easily shifted when the rotation speed is equal to or higher than the predetermined rotation speed, and when the rotation speed is lower than the predetermined rotation speed, the production mode is difficult to shift. .

  (13) In some change transition tables and non-change transition tables, the larger the value of the rotation speed flag or the mode rotation speed flag, the greater the number of first mode transfer random numbers assigned to the winning pattern. . Therefore, the player can enjoy a variety of games without the same production mode continuing forever.

  (14) In the non-change-time transition table for falling shown in FIG. 18, when the value of the mode rotation speed flag is 1 to 10, random numbers for first mode transition are not distributed to the winning pattern. For this reason, when the number of executions of the symbol variation game after the high suggestion mode is executed is 1 to 10, only the promotion lottery is performed, so when the number of times of the symbol variation game is 1 to 10 When the production mode is promoted, the interest of the player can be improved. In addition, when the number of symbol variation games is 1 to 10, the normal pattern is not executed. Therefore, the player is given a probability variation state for at least 10 symbol variation games. With the expectation that it might be, you can enjoy the high suggestion mode.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-In embodiment, even if it is a case where a mode change effect is performed when the fluctuation pattern P7 is selected, you may stop-display the symbol combination which forms the reach.

  In the embodiment, the mode transition opportunity except for winning the big win lottery is when the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7 is selected, but the variation is longer than the variation time set in the variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3. If it is a variation pattern in which time is set, a mode transition effect may be executed. For example, the mode transition effect may be executed when the variation patterns P8 and P9 (displacement reach (SR)) are selected.

  In the embodiment, when the variation pattern P7 is selected, an out-of-order symbol combination that does not form a reach based on the special pattern is fixedly stopped and displayed, but the variation content itself may be changed. . For example, the background image is usually a “morning” background, but when the mode transition effect is executed, it may be a “night” background.

  In the embodiment, when the variation pattern P7 is selected and the transition of the production mode is determined, the sub CPU 32a may determine the out-of-pattern combination independently so as not to form a reach.

In the embodiment, the primary lottery may be executed with a constant winning probability regardless of the number of symbol variation games.
In the embodiment, the falling lottery is executed after the promotion lottery is executed, but the promotion lottery may be executed after the falling lottery is executed. By doing so, even if it was decided to fall into the normal mode by winning the fall lottery, it was decided to shift to the highly anticipated production mode that is a probable change state in the promotion lottery For example, since the mode transition effect is executed with the content that promotes the effect mode, the interest of the player can be improved.

In the embodiment, in the promotion lottery and the falling lottery, the production mode may be promoted or dropped one step at a time.
In the embodiment, the promotion lottery and the falling lottery are executed every time the symbol variation game is executed, but may be executed every predetermined number of times (for example, every 10 times).

  In the embodiment, the falling lottery may be executed even during stay in the high suggestion mode to which the variable state is given. In this case, the run-down lottery is executed in the same procedure as the non-change time mode transition process shown in FIG. In addition, when a falling lottery is executed while staying in the high suggestion mode with the variable state, the probability of winning the “fall” is higher than during a high suggestion mode without the short state. It is desirable to set it to be low.

In the embodiment, when the falling lottery is won, when the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P7 is selected, it may be shifted to the effect mode of the fall destination.
-In the embodiment, if you win the 2nd probability variation 15 round jackpot, no matter what production mode you are staying in, make sure to select the 4th highly accurate suggestion mode. May be executed. Also, even if one of the first high-accuracy suggestion mode to the third high-accuracy suggestion mode is won, the winning contents need not be reset, and the winning contents should not be reflected in the mode transition effect. good.

  -In the embodiment, when the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is won, after the jackpot game ends, the fourth highly likely suggestion mode is specified in the mode stock release flag during the 90th to 99th symbol variation games A value to be set may be set.

  In the embodiment, after the big hit game ends, the fourth highly suggestive mode is forcibly set in the mode stock release flag in the 100th symbol variation game, but it is set in the symbol variation game after the 101st time. You may do it.

In the embodiment, the number of determinations in step S104 is 91, but is not limited to that value.
In the embodiment, when the second probability variation 15 round jackpot is won, after the jackpot game is finished, it is possible to shift to the fourth high probability suggestion mode in the 100th and subsequent symbol variation games. You may make it transfer to the high certainty determination mode in the symbol variation game after the 1st time.

  In the embodiment, the types of jackpot games may be increased or decreased. Specifically, the number of round games may be changed, the presence / absence of the probability change state and the change state, and the number of grants may be changed. Further, the number of opening / closing operations of the special prize opening device 29 may be changed. For example, the single winning opening device 29 may be opened and closed four times during one round game.

-In embodiment, you may abbreviate | provide 15 rounds big change with 100 times of shortening.
In the above embodiment, the specified number of rounds of the round game, the time for one opening / closing operation of the special winning opening device 29, and the round game time may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, the effect display 22 is a liquid crystal display, but it may be a dot matrix display or a 7 segment LED display or a mechanical display such as a drum display.

-Although the said embodiment was actualized in the pachinko gaming machine 10 using a special figure and a decoration drawing, you may materialize in the pachinko gaming machine using only a special figure.
-In embodiment, you may materialize to the pachinko game machine using two special symbols.
