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

  As shown in FIG. 1, an effect display device 11 as an effect device having a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH is disposed almost at the center of a game board 10 of a pachinko gaming machine. The effect display device 11 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in the present embodiment), and various display effects executed in association with the game are displayed as images. . In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 11, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 11 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays eight types of numbers [1] to [8] as decorative symbols for each column. Then, when the symbols in all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 11 in the present embodiment are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given is recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777], etc.). it can. On the other hand, when the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 11 are different, or when the symbols of one column are different from the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [767] Etc.) can be recognized.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols of each column in the effect display device 11 are 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 starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 11 The decorative symbols 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, the decorative symbols in a specific column (in this embodiment, the left column and the right column) of the plurality of columns are stopped in the same pattern, and the columns other than the specific column (in this embodiment, the middle column) This is a state in which the decorative symbols in the column) are variably displayed.

  A 7-segment special symbol display device 12 is disposed at the lower left of the effect display device 11. In the special symbol display device 12, a symbol variation game is displayed in which a plurality of types of special symbols are varied and displayed. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) whether or not the big hit.

  The effect display device 11 displays a display result corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 12. More specifically, when a big hit symbol that can recognize a big hit is displayed on the special symbol display device 12 in a fixed stop display, the big hit symbol is also displayed on the effect display device 11 in a fixed stop manner. In addition, when a special symbol display device 12 displays a stop symbol that can recognize a shift, the special symbol display device 12 also displays the stop symbol on the effect display device 11.

  The “variable display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the display device that displays the symbol is changing, while the “pause display” is the state within the display area. Is a state in which the symbol is displayed in a swinging fluctuation state (stationary state). The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the effect display device 11 and the special symbol display device 12, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is simultaneously ended (that is, the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and stopped at the same time. ).

  On the lower left side of the special symbol display device 12, a special symbol reservation storage display device 13 having a plurality of (four in this embodiment) special symbol reservation light emitting units is disposed. The special symbol hold storage display device 13 notifies the player of the number of stored special design start balls stored inside the machine (hereinafter referred to as “special figure start hold storage number”). The special figure start reserved memory count is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start prize opening 15 provided on the game board 10, while it is decremented by 1 when the symbol variation game is started. Therefore, when a game ball enters the start winning opening 15 during the symbol variation game, the special figure start reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). In the present embodiment, the four special symbol holding light emitting units are provided with five types of light emission modes (combination of all light extinction and lighting), and the number of reserved memories of 0 to 4 is set to the four special symbol holding light emission. The notification is made in the light emission mode in the section. The number of reserved memories is the number of symbol variation games whose execution is suspended.

  A normal symbol display device 14 is arranged on the left side of the special symbol display device 12. In the normal symbol display device 14, a normal symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as a “general symbol game”) is performed in which a plurality of types of normal symbols are varied to derive one normal symbol. The normal symbol display device 14 of the present embodiment is composed of a plurality (two in this embodiment) of normal symbol display units configured by covering a light emitting body (LED, lamp, etc.) (not shown) with a lens cover. . The normal symbol display device 14 displays a lottery result of an internal lottery (lottery per later drawing) to determine whether or not to hit a general symbol separately from the big hit lottery to determine whether or not to win.

  Below the effect display device 11, a start winning port 15 having a game ball entrance 15a is disposed. The start winning opening 15 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 16 that opens and closes by an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) not shown. The start winning port 15 is opened by opening the opening and closing blades 16 so that the game ball can be easily entered (winning). On the other hand, the closing operation of the opening and closing blades 16 does not expand the entrance. The ball is in a closed state where it is difficult to enter (win). A start port switch SW1 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed behind the start winning port 15. The start winning opening 15 can provide a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the game ball that has entered.

  Also, below the start winning opening 15 is a large winning opening (special electric accessory) 18 as a winning means provided with a large winning opening door 17 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) not shown. It is arranged. A count switch SW2 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the big winning opening 18. The big winning opening 18 can give a condition for paying out game balls as a predetermined number (for example, 13) of prize balls by detecting the game balls that have entered. The big winning opening 18 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 17 during the big hit game, thereby allowing a game ball to enter. For this reason, during the big hit game, the player can obtain a chance to win a prize ball.

  Further, a normal symbol operation gate (hereinafter referred to as “gate”) 19 is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 11. A normal symbol variation switch SW3 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered and passed is disposed behind the gate 19. The gate 19 can give only the start condition for the usual game (the lottery opportunity for lottery per usual figure) when the game ball passes.

  In a pachinko gaming machine, a player operates a launching device (not shown) to drive the launching device, whereby a game ball is launched into the game area of the game board 10. Then, when the game balls launched to the game board 10 flow down the game board 10, the game balls are moved to the start winning opening 15, the grand prize opening 18, the gate 19, etc. by the game nails arranged on the game board 10. It is supposed to be guided.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a probability fluctuation (hereinafter referred to as “probability change”) state advantageous to the player may be given. When the probability variation state is given, the winning probability (lottery probability) of the big hit lottery is changed (improved) from a low probability (normal probability, for example, 4/1439) to a high probability (for example, 33/1439). Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. The probability variation state is advantageous to the player because the winning probability of the big hit lottery varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur.

  Further, in this embodiment, there is a case where a variation time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “shortening”) state is given as a state of improving the entrance rate that is advantageous to the player. When the variable state is given, the fluctuation time of the normal game is shortened, and the winning probability (lottery probability) of the lottery per normal map based on the passage of the gate 19 is low (normal probability, for example, 1/251) ) To a high probability (for example, 250/251). In addition, when the variable state is given, when the lottery per normal drawing is won, the opening / closing blade 16 of the start winning opening 15 is not given the variable state (the non-variable state is given). Open / close operation with a different operation pattern. Specifically, when the non-variable state is given, the open / close blade 16 is opened and opened for a predetermined first number of times (for example, once) when winning in the lottery per ordinary drawing. Until the first opening time (for example, 0.3 seconds) elapses. On the other hand, in the variable state, when the open / close blade 16 is won by lottery per ordinary figure, the opening / closing blade 16 is opened for a second number of times (for example, three times) larger than the first number of times, and is opened in one opening. The open state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1.54 seconds) longer than the first number of times has elapsed. In this manner, the variable speed state can be advantageous for the player because the opening / closing blade 16 operates favorably for the player and the rate of entry into the start winning opening 15 per unit time is improved.

Next, the jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (hit symbol combination) is confirmed and stopped on each of the display devices 11 and 12 in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the special winning opening 18 (the special winning entry door 17) is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of rounds as a predetermined upper limit (15 rounds in this embodiment). In one round game, the special prize opening door 17 of the special prize opening 18 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once). Also, during one round game, the big winning opening 18 is until the end condition is satisfied (the specified number of game balls (the maximum number of balls entered) wins or the specified time (round game time) elapses). It is released for a while. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from the two types of big hits shown in FIG. 2, and the big hit game based on the determined big hit is given. ing. Which one of the two types of jackpots is to be determined is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the big hit symbols of 100 kinds of special symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 12 are classified into two groups of symbol A and symbol B. 65 kinds of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 12 are distributed to the symbol A. Similarly, 35 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 12 are assigned to the symbol B.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol (symbol A and symbol B) is displayed on the special symbol display device 12 is a 15 round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”. In the big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “8 balls”. In the big hit game, the grand prize winning door 17 is set to be opened “once” in each round game.

  In addition, in the jackpot game, “10 (seconds)” as the opening time, “25 (seconds)” as the round game time (specified time) of one round game, and “11 (seconds)” as the ending time, respectively. Is set. Each round game may be terminated when a maximum number of game balls are entered. For this reason, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time. In addition, after the big hit game based on the symbol A, the probability variation state (no limit (until the next big hit)) and the variable state are given until the end of the probability variation state. In addition, after the big hit game based on the symbol B is finished, the variable state is given to the non-probable variation state and the symbol variation game of 100 times (maximum value).

  In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game is a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that is not given a probability variation state (that is, a non-probability variation state is given) after the big hit game is a non-probability big hit. In other words, the jackpot in which the symbol A is determined as the special symbol jackpot symbol is a probabilistic jackpot, and the jackpot in which the symbol B is determined as the jackpot symbol in the special symbol is a non-probable bonus jackpot. In the present embodiment, among the special symbol jackpot symbols, the symbol A that is a probability variation jackpot is set as a specific symbol, and the symbol B that is a non-probable variation jackpot is set as a non-specific symbol. As described above, in this embodiment, the type of jackpot game is classified according to the jackpot symbol of the special symbol, and the type of jackpot game and whether or not the jackpot game is to be changed to a probable state and whether or not to change the state of the jackpot game. An internal control state based on this is identified.

  And in this embodiment, when the big hit game is awarded, the big hit symbols ([111] to [888]) of the decorative symbols whose symbols in all the rows are the same symbol are derived. Further, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot game based on the symbol A is given, the jackpot symbols ([111] [333] [555] [777]) of the decorative symbols in which the symbols in all the rows are the same odd number symbols are provided. Has been derived. Further, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot game based on the symbol B is given, the jackpot symbols ([222] [444] [666] [888]) of the decorative symbols in which the symbols in all the columns are the same even symbols are obtained. Has been derived. That is, the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol in which the symbols in all the rows are the same odd number symbol is the display result of the probability big hit that notifies the player of the probability big hit. Similarly, a big hit symbol of a decorative symbol whose symbols in all the rows are the same even symbols is a display result of the non-probable big hit that notifies the player of the non-probable big hit.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control commands (control commands) according to the process results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 controls the operation of the effect display device 11 based on the control command output by the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control CPU that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected so that various switches SW1 to SW3 can detect and output detection signals from the game balls. Also, a special symbol display device 12, a special symbol hold storage display device 13, and a normal symbol display device 14 are connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  Also, the main control CPU 30a updates random number values such as a jackpot determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number at predetermined intervals ( Execute random number generation processing). The big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining the big hit symbol of the special symbol when winning in the big hit lottery. In the present embodiment, one special symbol distribution random number value is associated with each of the 100 types of special jackpot special symbols described above. The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not a reach state is to be formed in the case of not winning the big hit lottery. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when a variation pattern is selected. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program, various determination values (such as jackpot determination values) and a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that serves as a base for effects (display effects, light-emitting effects, sound effects) from the start of the symbol variation game to the end of the symbol variation game. The time (variation time) can be specified. That is, it is possible to specify the effect contents and effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special symbol starts to fluctuate until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped by the variation pattern. Then, the variation patterns are classified for each variation content composed of a jackpot effect, an outlier reach effect, and an outlier effect.

  The jackpot effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so that the jackpot symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state after reaching the reach effect. Further, the outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally subjected to the reach effect and finally the stop symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state. Further, the off-stage effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the out-of-place symbol without stopping and reaching the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach state is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol on the effect display device 11 until the symbol combination (big hit symbol or off symbol) is finally derived. . In the special symbol display device 12, when each symbol variation game is started, the variation of the symbol is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a big hit determination value. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the big hit lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (all 1237 kinds of integers from 0 to 1236) that the big hit determination random number can take. In addition, the big hit judgment value is a low probability big hit judgment value used in the big hit lottery when the internal control state is in an uncertain change state (low probability lottery state), and when the internal control state is a probable change state (high probability lottery state). There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the jackpot lottery. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in the present embodiment) is set to be larger than the number of jackpot determination values in the non-probability variation state (four in the present embodiment). For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit in the big hit lottery in the non-probable variation state is 4/1237, while the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery in the probabilistic state is 1237 minutes. 40.

  The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not to form a reach when determining a loss (a reach determination), and a reach determination random number (0 to 0). 241 types of integers up to 240). For example, if the number of reach determination values is 3, the probability of winning a reach in reach determination is 3/241, while if the reach determination value is 20 or 35, reach is determined in reach determination. The probability of winning is 20/241 or 35/241.

  Further, the main control ROM 30b stores a standard hit value. The judgment value per common figure is a judgment value used in internal lottery (lottery per common figure) for whether or not per common figure, and a numerical value that can be taken by the random number for judgment per common figure (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250) ). Furthermore, the per-map decision value is the low-probability per-map decision value used in the lottery per lot when the internal control state is non-variable, and the per-map figure when the internal control status is variable. There is a judgment value per common map for high probability used in the lottery. In addition, the number of judgment values per common figure in the variable state (250 in the present embodiment) is larger than the number of judgment values per common figure in the non-variable state (10 in the present embodiment). Is set. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the probability of winning per universal figure in the lottery per drawing in the variable state is 250/251, while in the lottery per non-variable state, The probability of winning per figure is 10/251.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a variation pattern distribution table. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment includes two tables, a variation pattern distribution table T1 and a variation pattern distribution table T2. The variation pattern distribution table of each system is classified according to the result of internal lottery (whether it is a big hit, the type of big hit (special symbol), or the reach in the case of a loss). In the variation distribution table of each system, the variation pattern can be specified based on the random number for variation pattern distribution according to the classification of the result of the internal lottery. For example, when the variation pattern distribution table T1 is used for jackpot based on the symbol A, the variation pattern is specified from the table classified as the symbol A in the system of the variation pattern distribution table T1. In the variation pattern distribution table for each system, the variation patterns that can be selected for each classification are distributed, and the variation pattern distribution random numbers can be taken as numerical values (251 total integers from 0 to 250). The change patterns that can be selected are associated with each other. For this reason, in this embodiment, the distribution pattern of the variation pattern is based on a variation pattern distribution table used according to the situation.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the variation pattern distribution tables T1 and T2 are associated with internal control states managed by the main control CPU 30a. Then, the fluctuation pattern distribution table T1 is associated with an internal control state (“no low probability change” or “no high probability change”) that is in the non-change state in the non-change state or in the non-change state in the change state Has been. Further, the variation pattern distribution table T1 is associated with an internal control state (“with low probability variation” or “with high probability variation”) in which the variation state is in the non-probability variation state or the variation state in the certain variation state. Yes. Similarly, the variation pattern distribution table T2 is associated with the internal control state ("with special high-probability variation short") that is the first variation after the end of the big hit game. Has been.

  In the present embodiment, the probability change state is a variable state, and the internal control state that is the first (first time) after the end of the jackpot game is, after the end of the probability change jackpot (the jackpot game based on the symbol A), This is a scene in which the first (first) symbol variation game is executed. Then, when the first (first) symbol variation game is performed after the end of such a probability variation jackpot (a jackpot game based on symbol A), the variation pattern of the symbol variation game is stored in the variation pattern distribution table T2. Will be determined. In particular, when the first (first time) symbol variation game is a big hit after the end of probability variation jackpot (big hit game based on symbol A), the variation pattern of the symbol variation game is included in the variation pattern distribution table T2. It is determined using a table that is classified into a lottery lottery result.

  As described above, when the first (first) symbol variation game is a big hit after the end of the probable big hit (the big hit game based on the symbol A), the big hit game is continuously given. In other words, in the present embodiment, the situation where the big hit game is continuously given is a situation where the big hit game is given without interposing a symbol variation game that becomes an outlier after the big hit game ends.

Here, the variation pattern of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
In the present embodiment, a variation pattern HP selected by the deviation of the variation pattern distribution tables T1 and T2 ("no reach" that is not selected in reach determination) is prepared as the variation pattern for the offending effect. . The fluctuation pattern HP can be selected in any internal control state as long as it is the result of the internal lottery of out-of-range (no reach). Further, in the present embodiment, as the variation pattern for the outlier reach production, the variation patterns NRP and SRP selected by the out of the variation pattern distribution tables T1 and T2 ("reach with" that is won in reach determination) are prepared. ing. The fluctuation patterns NRP and SRP can be selected in any internal control state as a result of outlier (with reach) internal lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, variation patterns NAP and SAP selected as a big hit in the variation pattern distribution tables T1 and T2 are prepared as variation patterns for the big hit effect. The variation patterns NAP and SAP can be selected in any internal control state as long as it is the result of the big win internal lottery.

  In addition, the fluctuation patterns NRP and NAP of the present embodiment specify normal reach as the reach effect. In addition, the fluctuation patterns SRP and SAP specify super reach as a reach effect. In normal reach, the same symbol is derived in two specific columns (left column and right column in this embodiment) to form a reach, and the remaining symbol columns (middle column in this embodiment) are changed for a predetermined time. This is an effect of deriving the design. In addition, super reach is an effect performed by developing normal reach after forming the reach, in principle via normal reach. In the present embodiment, when the fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 30a specifies the reach effect, the effect control board 31 (the effect control CPU 31a) uses the effect pattern of the specific reach effect based on the change pattern ( Type).

  In the present embodiment, the super-reach big hit reliability is set higher than the normal reach big hit reliability. The big hit reliability is determined according to the distribution mode when the fluctuation pattern specifying each reach effect is assigned to the reach effect instead of the big hit effect. In order to increase the jackpot reliability of a specific reach production, in the case of a big hit fluctuation with respect to the rate at which the specific reach production appears (the overall rate that appears when the reach production is different from the case of the jackpot production) The rate at which the specific reach effect appears may be increased.

  In the present embodiment, a variation pattern SPAP selected only for a big hit in the variation pattern distribution table T2 is prepared as a variation pattern for the big hit effect. The variation pattern SPAP is a result of the big win internal lottery, and can be selected only in the internal control state that becomes the first (first) symbol fluctuation game after the end of the probable big hit (big hit game based on the symbol A). It has become. Furthermore, the variation pattern SPAP of this embodiment is the winning of the probability variation jackpot (symbol A), especially in the scene where the first (first) symbol variation game is a jackpot after the probability variation jackpot (spot bonus game based on the symbol A) ends. Since the assignment is made only to the table classified into the scenes, it can be selected only in such a scene.

  In addition, the variation pattern SPAP of the present embodiment specifies effect contents different from the effect contents using decorative symbols such as normal reach and super reach. And in this embodiment, the fluctuation pattern which specifies such special production | presentation content is set only to the variation pattern for jackpot production. For this reason, depending on the appearance of the special effect content, it is determined that not only the big win is won, but the probability variable big win is confirmed and the probability variable big win is continuously given. From this point, in the present embodiment, the special effect content (the effect content specified by the variation pattern SPAP) is produced after the probability variation jackpot is over, and the probability variation jackpot is continuous in the first game (the first symbol variation game). It is positioned as “one game series production” that appears in the scene given to the player. In the following description, the special effect content may be indicated as “one game continuous effect”. The single game continuous effect will be described in detail later. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern SPAP for specifying the content of the effect of the one-game continuous effect is a special variation pattern, and the variation pattern distribution table T2 to which the special variation pattern is distributed is a special variation pattern distribution table.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described.
The effect control board 31 has an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The effect control CPU 31a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values at predetermined intervals. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image display data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, the control content executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described.

  When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the start port switch SW1, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the special figure start hold storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the special figure start hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the special figure start hold memory number, and rewrites the special figure start hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a updates the display content of the special symbol hold storage display device 13 with rewriting of the special figure start hold storage number. When the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a obtains the jackpot determination random number value and the special symbol distribution random number value from the main control RAM 30c, and stores the values in the special figure start hold storage. The number is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the number. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the special start holding memory count exceeding the upper limit number, and the jackpot determination random number value and the special symbol The random number for distribution is not acquired.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a checks the special figure start reserved memory number immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and if the reserved memory number is present (when larger than “0”), the control related to the symbol variation game is performed. Execute. The main control CPU 30a reads the value of the big hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the special figure start reserved memory number in the control related to the symbol variation game, and the main control CPU 30a The jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b is compared to determine whether or not to win (whether or not to win a jackpot game).

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value match), the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit. The CPU 30a for main control which has determined the big hit reads out the value of the random number for special symbol distribution stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the number of special figure start pending storage, and based on the value, the special symbol A jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in a symbol variation game performed on the display device 12. Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each jackpot type as described above, the jackpot symbol to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the big hit acquires the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the acquired value, the fluctuation pattern distribution table according to the internal control state at that time One variation pattern is selected and determined according to a table classified based on the jackpot symbol (symbol A or symbol B) of the special symbol. In this case, the main control CPU 30a reads information necessary for specifying the internal control state at that time from the main control RAM 30c and specifies the variation pattern distribution table. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes a variation pattern selection process for selecting and determining a variation pattern functions as a control unit.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 30a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines an off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the special symbol display device 12. In addition, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the detachment acquires the reach determination random number value from the main control RAM 30c, compares the acquired value with the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and determines the disconnection. Reach determination is performed to determine whether or not to execute reach production.

  When the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (execution of the reaper reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 30a acquires the random value for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the acquired value. Then, one variation pattern is selected and determined according to a table classified as “with outlier reach” in the variation pattern distribution table according to the internal control state at that time. In this case, the main control CPU 30a reads information necessary for specifying the internal control state at that time from the main control RAM 30c and specifies the variation pattern distribution table.

  On the other hand, if the reach determination result is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main control CPU 30a acquires the random value for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the acquired value at that time One variation pattern is selected and determined in accordance with a table classified as “no outlier reach” in the variation pattern distribution table according to the internal control state. In this case, the main control CPU 30a reads information necessary for specifying the internal control state at that time from the main control RAM 30c and specifies the variation pattern distribution table.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a stores (sets) information indicating the special symbol jackpot symbol assigned immediately before in the main control RAM 30c as the last special symbol information. The special symbol information of the previous time is updated to information indicating the jackpot symbol by determining the jackpot symbol of the special symbol by newly winning the jackpot. Further, the main control CPU 30a stores (sets) information indicating the number of times of execution of the symbol variation game executed after the jackpot game is ended in the main control RAM 30c as frequency information. The number of executions is cleared (initial value is set) by newly winning a big win and updated by adding 1 each time the symbol variation game is executed.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a identifies the internal control state based on the previous special figure information and the number-of-times information in the main control RAM 30c. If the last special figure information is symbol A, the main control CPU 30a identifies an internal control state (“highly accurate change short” or “special high accuracy change short”) to be a change state of the probability change state. In this case, if the number-of-times information indicates the first time (first time) after the end of the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a identifies the internal control state of “special high-accuracy change short” and determines the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern distribution table T2 is used. On the other hand, if the number-of-times information indicates two or more times after the end of the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a identifies the internal control state of “with high probability of change”, and when determining the variation pattern, The table T1 is used.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines that the internal control state (“low probability variation”) is set to the non-probability variation state if the previous special symbol information is symbol B and the number information indicates 100 times or less after the end of the big hit game. Specify “Short”. In this case, the main control CPU 30a uses the variation pattern distribution table T1 when determining the variation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 30a, when the last special figure information is symbol B and the number of times information indicates 101 or more times after the big hit game ends, the internal control state ("low" Control without "short change"). In this case, the main control CPU 30a uses the variation pattern distribution table T1 when determining the variation pattern.

  In this embodiment, information that can specify that the symbol variation game to be executed from now on is the first (first) symbol variation game after the probability variation big hit (big hit game based on symbol A) ends. It can also be configured to store (set) in the RAM 30c. That is, the main control CPU 30a stores (sets) the special flag in the main control RAM 30c until the first (first) symbol variation game is executed after the probability variation big hit (the big hit game based on the symbol A) ends. ), It is possible to specify that the game is the first (first) symbol variation game after the probability variation jackpot (the jackpot game based on symbol A) ends. The main control CPU 30a uses the variation pattern distribution table T2 when the special flag is set, and uses the variation pattern distribution table T1 when the special flag is not set. become.

  The main control CPU 30a having determined the special symbol and the variation pattern generates a predetermined control command, and outputs the generated control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a generates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game, and outputs the variation pattern designation command first when the symbol variation game is started. . In this case, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 12. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol that designates a special symbol, and outputs the stop symbol designation command next after outputting the variation pattern designation command. Then, the main control CPU 30a generates a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, and the symbol stop command is changed to the variation symbol. Output as time passes. In this case, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 12 so as to display the determined special symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern.

  The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the special figure start reserved memory number at the start of each symbol variation game, and rewrites the special figure start reserved memory number. Then, the main control CPU 30a updates the display content of the special symbol hold storage display device 13 with the rewriting of the special figure start hold storage number.

  In addition, when determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control based on the type of jackpot specified based on the special symbol after the symbol changing game based on the variation pattern for the big hit effect, A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to 31 (production control CPU 31a). Here, the main control CPU 30a executes control related to the jackpot game based on the type of jackpot or control related to the internal control state after the jackpot game based on the type of jackpot.

  The main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the big hit game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and further outputs an ending command at the end of the big hit game in the big hit game specified based on the special symbol. Output. The opening command instructs the start of the opening (effect), the round command instructs the start of the round game (effect), and the ending command instructs the start of the ending (effect).

  Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening 18 in a corresponding opening manner at the start of each round game in the big hit game specified based on the special symbol. In addition, the main control CPU 30a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game in the jackpot game specified based on the special symbol, and inputs a detection signal from the count switch SW2 to enter the round game. Count the number of game balls entered. Then, the main control CPU 30a, in each round game of the big hit game, wins a big prize by satisfying one of the end conditions that the round game time has passed and that the upper limit number of game balls have entered. The mouth 18 is controlled to be closed.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a that ended the big hit game sets “1” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given when the internal control state is changed to the probability change state after the big hit game ends. Then, a probability change command indicating that a probability change state is to be given is output. Further, when the non-probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability change flag to “0” and outputs a non-probability change command indicating that the non-probability change state is given. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is to be provided and also applies the variable state when the variable state is to be provided after the end of the big hit game. Outputs a variable command indicating.

  In the present embodiment, when the main control CPU 30a wins the uncertain change big hit, the end condition of the variable state is satisfied at the end of the symbol variation game in which the main control RAM 30c is executed 100 times. End the variable state. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the operation flag and outputs a non-variable command indicating that the non-variable state is to be given.

  The probability variation flag and the operation flag are cleared ("0" is set) when a big hit game is awarded. In this case, when the big hit is generated, the main control CPU 30a ends the probability changing state and the changing state with the start of the big hit game. Further, the probability variation flag and the operation flag are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. By these probability change command, non-change command, change command, and non-change command, the production control CPU 31a is currently in the change state or in the non-change state, in the change state or in the non-change state. You can see if there is.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has finished the big hit game confirms the number of special figure start hold memories at the end of the big hit game, executes the process related to the symbol variation game based on the start hold ball, Have a floating game. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a causes the symbol variation game to be executed until a game ball enters each start winning slot 15 when the special figure start reserved memory number at the end of the big hit game is "0". Without waiting.

  Further, when a detection signal indicating that the game ball has passed through the gate 19 is input, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number for determining the normal hit from the main control RAM 30c, and the value is stored in the main control RAM 30c. Store in a predetermined storage area.

  Further, when the game is not in a normal game and is not in a game per normal game, the main control CPU 30a obtains a random number for determining a normal map stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a confirms the normal symbol display device 14 when the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol matches the universal symbol determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b (per normal symbol). As a final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed, a normal symbol hit symbol is determined. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a determines a symbol that is out of the normal symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 14 when the random number for determining the symbol per symbol does not match the criterion value per symbol. To do.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes related to the usual game. More specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 14 so as to start changing the normal symbol. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the usual variation game. Thereafter, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 14 so as to display the determined final stop symbol.

  The main control CPU 30a opens the open / close blade 16 three times and opens each time when the normal game is finished, when the normal game is finished, or when the variable speed state is given. The open state is maintained until 1540 ms elapses after opening. On the other hand, when the normal game is finished, the main control CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 16 once and maintains the open state until 300 ms elapses after the change state is not given.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 will be described.
When the effect control CPU 31a inputs the probability change command or the change command, the effect control CPU 31a sets information (such as a flag) indicating that the probability change state or the change state is given to the effect control RAM 31c. The effect control CPU 31a sets the effect control RAM 31c to be assigned a probability change state when a probability change command is input, while the effect control RAM 31c indicates that a non-probability change state is provided when a non-probability change command is input. Set to. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a sets in the effect control RAM 31c that the variable state is given when the variable command is input, while the non-variable state is assigned when the non-variable command is input. This is set in the effect control RAM 31c. Then, the effect control CPU 31a stores and maintains the current setting contents in the effect control RAM 31c until the probability change command, the non-changeable command, the change command, and the non-change command are input. The effect control CPU 31a grasps whether or not the internal control state is a probable change state or a change state based on the setting contents of the effect control RAM 31c.

  When the variation control designation command and the special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a receives the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Specific contents (such as production contents and combinations of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped) are determined.

First, the effect control CPU 31a determines specific effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern.
Then, the production control CPU 31a specifies the design variation game in the case where the designated variation pattern is the variation pattern NRP, SRP for the reach reach production that specifies the execution of the reach production and the variation pattern NAP, SAP for the jackpot production. The production contents of reach production to be executed as typical production contents are determined. In addition, when the specified variation pattern is a variation pattern SPAP for a jackpot effect that specifies execution of the effect of the special effect content, the effect control CPU 31a determines a one-game continuous effect as the specific effect content of the symbol variation game. To do.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the specified variation pattern does not execute the reach effect. In the case of the variation pattern HP for the effect effect, the effect content that does not execute the reach effect as the specific effect content of the symbol variation game. To decide.

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 31a performs symbol variation executed on the effect display device 11 from the type of variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command. The combination of decorative symbols to be derived in the game is determined.

  Then, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is the big hit symbol of symbol A (probable variation big hit), the effect control CPU 31a displays all the rows as decorative symbol symbol combinations. A jackpot symbol ([111] [333] [555] [777]) of a decorative symbol that is an odd symbol having the same symbol is determined. Similarly, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is the symbol B big hit symbol (non-probable big hit), the effect control CPU 31a The jackpot symbol ([222] [444] [666] [888]) of the decorative symbol that is the same even symbol in the column is determined.

  In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of a deviating symbol by a decorative symbol that can recognize the loss. At this time, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the effect control CPU 31a determines the out-of-pattern combination that forms the reach. On the other hand, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the effect control CPU 31a determines the off-set symbol combination that does not form the reach.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the symbol variation game having the determined contents. In addition, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the symbol combination based on the determined decorative symbol is confirmed and stopped.

  In addition, when the opening control command is input in the control related to the execution of the jackpot game, the effect control CPU 31a displays the display on the effect display device 11 so as to execute the opening effect according to the jackpot game to be given (the effect during the hit game). Control the content. In addition, when the round command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute each round effect corresponding to the jackpot game to be given (the effect during the hit game). In addition, when the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to execute an ending effect corresponding to the jackpot game to be given (the effect during the hit game). In other words, the effect control CPU 31a executes various effects corresponding to the jackpot game given based on the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped.

  Specifically, in the big hit game based on the probable big hit (special symbol big hit symbol is symbol A), the opening effect, each round game effect, and the ending effect are executed in the flow shown in FIG. Then, when a combination of odd symbols (here [777]) in the same row is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11, it corresponds to a big hit game based on a probable big hit (a special big hit symbol is a symbol A). Various effects are performed. As an opening effect, “probability big hit” is displayed on the effect display device 11 as an image. Thereafter, in each round game, “(number of times) R” indicating the number of round games to be executed by the effect display device 11 is displayed as an image. For example, if the round game to be executed is the third round game, “3R” is displayed as an image. In the present embodiment, as each round game effect, a background image associated with each round game in advance is displayed as an image. That is, in each round game effect, the background image also changes in accordance with the change in the number of rounds. Finally, as the ending effect, “probability change entry” is displayed on the effect display device 11 as an image. Thereby, the player can grasp | ascertain provision of the variable state with a certain variable state.

  On the other hand, in the big hit game in which the big hit symbol of the special symbol is based on the symbol B, the opening effect, each round game effect, and the ending effect are executed in the flow shown in FIG. When the combination of even symbols (here, [666] in this example) with the same sequence in all columns is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11, various effects corresponding to the jackpot game based on the symbol B can be made. Executed. As the opening effect, “big hit” is displayed as an image on the effect display device 11. After that, in the same way as the probable big hit (big hit game based on the pattern A), “(number of times) R” is displayed on the effect display device 11 in each round game. Finally, as an ending effect, “Chance time entry” is displayed on the effect display device 11 as an image. Thereby, the player can grasp | ascertain provision of the variable state which makes 100 symbol change games an upper limit with an uncertain change state.

  In addition, after directing execution of the ending effect, the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command until the first (first time) symbol variation game is instructed after the end of the big hit game. The effect display device 11 is controlled to continuously display the effect image (“probability change entry” or “chance time entry”) due to the ending effect.

Next, a detailed description will be given of a case where a one-game continuous effect is determined by the effect control CPU 31a as the specific effect content of the symbol variation game.
First, a scene where a one-game continuous effect is executed in the symbol variation game will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol variation game to be executed is “the first (first) symbol variation game after the end of the probable variation big hit”, “ It is possible to execute a one-game continuous effect in a scene satisfying all of “winning probability is a probable big hit” and “variable pattern SPAP”. In the present embodiment, these conditions are set as an execution condition for executing a one-game continuous effect in a symbol variation game, and a one-game continuous effect can be executed in a symbol variation game in a scene that satisfies the execution condition. .

  In the present embodiment, the scene satisfying such an execution condition means that, in the situation where the main control CPU 30a uses the variation pattern distribution table T2 when selecting the variation pattern, “the first time after the end of the probable variation big hit (first time It is a scene that satisfies " Under such circumstances, in the situation where the main control CPU 30a uses the table classified as the symbol A of the variation pattern distribution table T2 when selecting the variation pattern, “the big win is won and the winning is a positive change big hit. It is a scene that satisfies "something". Furthermore, in such a situation, in a situation where the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern SPAP, the execution condition is satisfied by satisfying that the variation pattern is the variation pattern SPAP.

  In the present embodiment, in a scene that satisfies “the first (first) symbol variation game after the end of probability variation jackpot”, the design control CPU 31a has the symbol variation triggered by the immediately preceding probability variation jackpot. In the game, it is determined that the big hit symbol with the decorative symbol which is the same odd symbol in all the columns is determined to be stopped. In addition, in a scene where “winning a big win and the winning is a promising big win” is satisfied, it is based on a decorative design that is an odd design in which all the columns are the same in the design variation game to be executed by the production control CPU 31a. This is a situation where it is possible to determine that the big hit symbol is to be confirmed and stopped. For this reason, in a scene where these two conditions are satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a displays a big hit symbol that is the same as the big hit symbol by the decorative symbol that has been fixedly stopped and displayed in the symbol change game that triggered the previous probability change big hit, Even in the symbol variation game to be executed from now on, it becomes a situation where it is possible to display the fixed stop. In other words, in the present embodiment, the specific conditions are “it is the first (first time) symbol variation game after the end of the probability variation jackpot”, and “the winner is the winning jackpot and the winning is the probability variation jackpot”. .

  In addition, as in the present embodiment, in the specification for predetermining the big hit symbol by the decorative symbol as the type of the big hit, it is the same as the big hit symbol by the decorative symbol that has been fixedly stopped and displayed in the symbol variable game that triggered the previous big hit game. A scene that can be confirmed and stopped even in a symbol variation game to be executed from now on becomes a scene that can be given the same jackpot game continuously.

Next, a specific effect mode of one game continuous effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, when one game series effect is executed in the symbol variation game, as shown in FIG. 7, the symbol combination by the ornament symbol is displayed in a fixed stop display in the symbol variation game that triggered the last big hit game. The production is performed in such a manner as to return to the state that has been performed. That is, when a one-game continuous effect is executed in the symbol variation game, an effect is performed in which the symbol combination by the decorative symbol is confirmed and stopped and the flow executed through the big hit game is reversed. . Note that the one-game continuous effect of this embodiment is configured so that the player does not visually recognize normal fluctuations such as the decorative symbols in each row starting to fluctuate to form a reach state.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, when a one-game continuous effect is started in the symbol variation game, “rewind” is displayed on the effect display device 11 as an image. After that, while inserting a blackout (BL) image in the middle, “probability rush” → “15R” → (BL) → “12R” → (BL) → “9R” → (BL) → The effect images of “6R” → (BL) → “3R” → (BL) → “probability big hit” are displayed in order. In addition, while these effect images are being displayed, “rewind” is continuously displayed on the effect display device 11. Finally, in the example shown in FIG. 7, [777] is displayed on the effect display device 11 while being confirmed and stopped. When the final stop display is finally displayed, the “rewind” image displayed on the effect display device 11 is not displayed. Also, in this embodiment, after the end of the ending effect, until the start of the next symbol variation game is instructed, the effect image of the ending effect is continuously displayed. It is possible to connect without giving a sense of incongruity to the start of the one-game continuous production.

  The one-game continuous effect is composed of several effect images selected from a plurality of effect images constituting the effects (opening effect, each round game effect, and ending effect) executed through the jackpot game shown in FIG. Has been. That is, the one-game continuous effect is an effect image of the opening effect, the third, the sixth, the ninth, the twelfth, from a plurality of effect images constituting the effect executed through the jackpot game shown in FIG. Each of the fifteenth round game effect effect images and ending effect effect images is configured. In the one-game continuous effect, the selected effect images are executed when the effect executed through the jackpot game based on the probability variation jackpot (the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol A) shown in FIG. Are displayed on the effect display device 11 in the reverse order. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the effect display device 11 displays corresponding effect images in the order of ending effect → 15th time → 12th time → 9th time → 6th time → 3rd time → opening effect. Then, in the one-game continuous effect, after the effect image of the opening effect is displayed on the image, the effect display device 11 displays an image of an odd symbol combination (here, [777]) in the same row and the image is displayed. The combination is displayed with a fixed stop. In addition, in the symbol variation game with one game series effect, the symbol combination by the decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game that triggered the last big hit game is displayed as an image, and the symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. It is displayed. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol “777” is displayed in a fixed stop display in the symbol variation game that triggered the previous jackpot game.

Next, processing executed by the effect control CPU 31a when executing a one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the variation pattern designated by the command, and if the variation pattern SPAP, determines to execute the one-game continuous effect. The process which concerns on execution of the said 1 game continuous production is performed. For this reason, if the variation pattern SPAP is specified, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the one-game continuous effect is to be executed, while if other than the variation pattern SPAP is specified, It is determined that the production is not executed. In the present embodiment, the fact that the variation pattern SPAP is specified satisfies the execution condition (specific condition) of the one-game continuous effect. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that executes the special effect process for determining whether or not the execution condition (specific condition) for the one-game continuous effect is satisfied functions as an effect processing unit. In the present embodiment, the specific content of the symbol variation game (such as the content of the effect and the symbol combination of the decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped) is determined, and the one-game continuous effect is executed based on the determination result of the special effect process. The effect control CPU 31a that executes the process according to the above functions as a game execution means.

  Then, when the effect control CPU 31a executes the one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game, the effect image of “probable big hit (opening effect)” is displayed as an image in the single-game continuous effect, and then the last big hit game is performed. The effect display device 11 is controlled so as to display an image of the jackpot symbol based on the decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game that has been triggered.

  Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a stores (sets) in the effect control RAM 31c the decorative symbol information that can identify the big hit symbol based on the decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game that triggered the big hit game. ). The decorative symbol information is updated to information indicating the jackpot symbol by newly determining the jackpot symbol based on the decorative symbol by winning the jackpot. The effect control CPU 31a can also clear the decorative symbol information by executing or ending the first (first) symbol variation game after the jackpot game ends. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can store the decorative symbol information only after the probability variation jackpot (the jackpot symbol of the special symbol is a jackpot game based on the symbol A) ends. Further, as the decorative symbol information, data of the big hit symbol based on the decorative symbol may be stored.

  Then, when the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the symbol variation game is to be executed in a single game continuous effect, the big hit symbol by the decorative symbol specified from the decorative symbol information stored in the effect control RAM 31c is determined for one game continuous. It is determined that the image is displayed after the effect image of “probability big hit (opening effect)” is displayed as an effect. Further, when the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the symbol variation game is to be executed in one game series effect, the ornament design stored in the effect control RAM 31c as a big hit symbol based on the ornament symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game is displayed. The jackpot symbol based on the decorative symbol specified from the information is determined.

  As a result, when the effect control CPU 31a executes the one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game, the big hit symbol based on the decorative symbol specified from the decorative symbol information stored in the effect control RAM 31c is displayed as “ The effect display device 11 is controlled to display an image after the effect image of “probability big hit (opening effect)” is displayed. Further, when the effect control CPU 31a executes a one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game, the bonus game symbol by the ornament symbol specified from the ornament symbol information stored in the effect control RAM 31c is changed by the symbol variation by the one-game consecutive effect. The effect display device 11 is controlled so as to display a fixed stop in the game.

  Next, a display mode on the effect display device 11 when the effect control CPU 31a executes a one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, in the symbol variation game that triggered the big hit game immediately before the symbol variation game with one game series effect, there is no one game sequence effect, and [777] is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game. It is assumed that

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), in the effect display device 11, a symbol variation game without a one-game continuous effect → a jackpot game (probability variable jackpot) → a symbol variation game with a one-game consecutive effect → a jackpot game ( The display effect is executed in a flow of “probable big hit”. That is, in the effect display device 11, an effect related to the symbol variation game based on the winning of the probable big hit is performed over the period Ta. With the end of the symbol variation game in the period Ta, the effect display device 11 thereafter performs an effect related to the big hit game (probability big hit) over the period Tb. With the end of the big hit game (probability big hit) in the period Tb, the effect display device 11 subsequently performs an effect related to the symbol variation game by one game continuous effect over the period Tc. With the end of the symbol variation game (single game continuous production) in the period Tc, the production display device 11 subsequently produces an effect related to the big hit game (probability big hit) over the period Td.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the effect display device 11 in the period Ta, a display effect is started in which the symbols (decorative symbols) in each column start to change (indicated by “↓”). Subsequently, in the effect display device 11, a display effect in which [7 ↓ 7] (reach state) is formed is executed at a predetermined timing. Thereby, the player can grasp that it is a promising big hit if it is a big hit. Subsequently, in the effect display device 11, after the elapse of the variation time set in the variation pattern, a display effect in which [777] is confirmed and stopped is executed. Thereby, the player can grasp that the big hit game is given by winning the probability variation big hit.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8C, in the effect display device 11 in the period Tb after the end of the symbol variation game in the period Ta, a display effect in which “probable big hit” is displayed as an image is executed. Thereby, the player can grasp the start of the big hit game. Subsequently, in the effect display device 11, “1R” → “2R” → “3R” →... → “13R” → “14R” → “15R” in accordance with the start and execution of each round game. A display effect that displays an image is executed. Thereby, the player can grasp that the round game corresponding to the image display is starting or being executed. Subsequently, in the effect display device 11, a display effect in which “probability change entry” is displayed as an image is executed. Thereby, the player can grasp the end of the big hit game.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8D, in the effect display device 11 in the period Tc after the end of the big hit game in the period Tb, a display effect is displayed in which “probability entry” is displayed together with “rewind”. The In the effect display device 11 in this case, the effect image of “probability rushing” is displayed as an image until immediately before. For this reason, in the effect display device 11, the kite is also expressed as if the big hit game was rewound. As a result, the player can feel that the big hit game is being rewound rather than the start of a new symbol variation game. For this reason, the player can grasp that the big hit game is given again rather than the start of the symbol variation game by grasping the start of the one-game continuous effect.

  Subsequently, in the effect display device 11, while the effect image of “rewind” is displayed, the “probable entry” → “15R” → “12R” → “9R” → “6R” while sandwiching the blackout (BL) image. The effect images of “3R” → “probability big hit” are displayed in order. As a result, the player can have a sense that the big hit game is being rewound. Subsequently, on the effect display device 11, the effect image of “rewind” is not displayed and [777] is confirmed and stopped. For this reason, in the effect display device 11, the game is expressed as if it had returned to the state immediately before the start of the previous jackpot game. Thus, the player can grasp that [777] is confirmed and stopped and a jackpot game based on the probability variation jackpot is given, and can feel as if he has returned to the state immediately before the start of the previous jackpot game. .

  Subsequently, in the effect display device 11, in the effect display device 11 in the period Td after the end of the symbol variation game with one game continuous effect in the period Tc, the effect related to the big hit game is performed in the flow shown in FIG. Will be executed. For this reason, in the effect display device 11, the effect is expressed as if the game is reproducing the big hit game in the period Tb. Thus, the player can feel as if the previous jackpot game is given again.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the first symbol variation game after the end of the probabilistic jackpot, if the execution condition is satisfied, the first symbol variation game is triggered by the previous jackpot game with one game series effect. The big hit symbol with the same decorative symbol as the changed symbol variation game is displayed in a fixed stop state. Then, as the one-game continuous effect, an effect that is executed in such a manner as to return to the state in which the big-hit symbol by the decorative symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state in the symbol-changing game that triggered the last big-hit game is set. In the development of such effects, especially in the case where the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is associated with the type of big hit, as a result of executing the one game continuous effect, the symbol variation game that triggered the last big hit game is performed. It is necessary to determine whether or not the big hit symbol based on the decorative symbol can be displayed in a fixed stop even in the first symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game. For this reason, as an execution condition for executing the one-game continuous effect, not only winning the big hit, but also setting the conditions related to the big hit symbol of the above-mentioned decorative symbol, it is possible to set the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol It is also possible to prevent the correspondence between the types of jackpots from being broken. Then, as a result of the development of the one game continuous production in this way, after the big hit game is finished, the kite is also expressed as if it had returned to the state immediately before the start of the big hit game, so that the big hit game is continuously played. It is possible to entertain the player in the situation that takes place.

  (2) One game series effect is composed of several effect images selected from a plurality of effect images constituting various effects (opening effect, each round game effect, and ending effect) during a big hit game with a promising big hit. I did it. In the one-game continuous effect, the several effect images are displayed in the reverse order to the case where various effects of the probable big hit are executed. For this reason, in the one-game rendition, the big hit game is rewound to the screen where the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game that triggered the big hit game, and the big hit game is once again played. It is expressed as if it were repeated. Therefore, in a situation where a big hit game is continuously performed, it is possible to entertain the player with a feeling of “repetition” instead of a feeling of “continuation”.

  (3) When realizing the one-game continuous effect, a variation pattern distribution table T2 that is used only when winning the probability variation big win in the first (first time) symbol variation game after the probability variation big hit ends is provided. did. Further, the variation pattern SPAP that enables execution of one game continuous effect is distributed to the variation pattern distribution table T2. For this reason, when realizing a one-game continuous effect, the variable pattern SPAP is set together with the variable pattern distribution table T2, so that the one-game continuous effect can be executed with a variable pattern capable of executing other effect contents. In addition, it is not necessary to forcibly adjust to the time of the other effect contents, and the width of the configuration of the one-game continuous effect can be expanded. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  (4) On the other hand, in addition to the one-game continuous production, other production contents can be executed, and if the variation pattern SPAP can be selected even in a scene that does not satisfy the execution conditions for the one-game continuous production, When selecting the pattern SPAP, the effect control CPU 31a must further determine whether or not the execution condition is satisfied. For this reason, by providing the variation pattern distribution table T2 as in the present embodiment and providing the variation pattern SPAP, the effect control CPU 31a relates to the one-game continuous effect only when the variation pattern SPAP is designated as the variation pattern. You just have to execute the process. Therefore, when realizing the one-game continuous effect, it is possible to minimize the structural influence on the scene that does not satisfy the execution condition of the one-game continuous effect.

  (5) In the present embodiment, if the type of jackpot is the same, the specification of setting the jackpot symbol of the decorative symbol is the same. For this reason, the execution condition of the single game continuous effect is a case where the same type of jackpot is determined in the symbol variation game that triggered the previous jackpot game. As a result, it is possible to prevent inconsistencies in production.

  (6) The execution condition of the single game continuous effect was set when winning the probable big hit in the first (first time) symbol variation game after the end of the probable big hit. Depending on the one-game continuous effect, an internal control state given after the end of the big hit game is also reproduced. Therefore, in a situation where a big hit game is continuously performed, it is possible to entertain the player with a feeling of “repetition” instead of a feeling of “continuation”.

  (7) In addition, as the execution condition of the one-game continuous effect, the first (first) symbol variation game is set after the end of the big hit game. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the one game continuous effect is allowed for a plurality of symbol variation games after the end of the big hit game, the one game sequence effect can be executed for the plurality of symbol variation games. However, it is necessary to consider the process of preventing the execution of one game continuous production. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to consider the processing that must be taken into account when the execution condition of the single game continuous effect is allowed for a plurality of symbol variation games after the end of the big hit game. Therefore, when realizing the one-game continuous effect, it is possible to minimize the structural influence on the scene that does not satisfy the execution condition of the one-game continuous effect.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the specifications (spec) including the jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine. For this reason, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

The jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15 rounds” or “5 rounds”. In the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the three types of big hit games shown in FIG. 9, and the determined big hit game is given. And in this embodiment, the big hit symbol of 100 types of special symbols displayed on the special symbol display apparatus 12 is classified into three groups of symbol A1, symbol A2, and symbol B. And 45 types of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 12 are distributed to the symbol A1. Similarly, 20 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 12 are assigned to the symbol A2. Similarly, 35 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 12 are assigned to the symbol B.

  The jackpot game given when the symbols A1 and B are displayed on the special symbol display device 12 as the jackpot symbol is a 15 round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”. The jackpot game given when the symbol A2 is displayed on the special symbol display device 12 as a jackpot symbol is a five-round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “5”.

  Also, after the big hit game based on the symbols A1 and A2, the probability change state (no limit (until next big hit)) and the variable state are given until the end of the probability change state. In addition, after the big hit game based on the symbol B is finished, the variable state is given to the non-probable variation state and the symbol variation game of 100 times (maximum value). In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game is a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that is not given a probability variation state (that is, a non-probability variation state is given) after the big hit game is a non-probability big hit. That is, the big hit for which the symbols A1 and A2 are determined as the special symbol big hit symbol is a probable variation big hit, and the big hit for which the symbol B is determined as the special symbol big hit symbol is a non-probable big hit. In the present embodiment, among the special symbol jackpot symbols, the symbol A1 and the symbol A2 that are probable variation jackpots are set as specific symbols, and the symbol B that is a non-probable variation jackpot symbol is set as a non-specific symbol. .

  And in this embodiment, when the big hit game based on the symbols A1 and A2 is given, the big hit symbols ([111] [333] [555] [777] of the decorative symbols in which the symbols in all the rows are the same odd number symbols. ]) Is derived. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the big hit game based on the symbols A1 and A2 is given, the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol in which the symbols in all the columns become the same odd number symbols as the decorative symbol big hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop manner. It is configured to be able to.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a, regarding the internal control state, if the last special symbol information is the symbol A1 and the symbol A2, the internal control state (“with high accuracy variation” or “special high accuracy variation” is set to the variation state of the probability variation state. Specify “Short”. In this case, if the number-of-times information indicates the first time (first time) after the end of the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a identifies the internal control state of “special high-accuracy change short” and determines the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern distribution table T2 is used. Note that the main control CPU 30a selects the variation pattern, and if the result of the big winning internal lottery is a probable variation big winning (symbol A1 and symbol A2), the variation pattern distribution table shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). Among them, a table classified as symbol A is used. That is, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern SPAP can be selected when the probability variation big hit (the special symbol big hit symbol is the symbols A1 and A2).

  Further, the main control CPU 30a causes a round game for a specified number of rounds (for 15 times or 5 times) to be executed in an open manner determined by the type of jackpot specified from the jackpot symbol of the special symbol regarding the control of the jackpot game. Then, when the 15R big hit game based on the symbols A1 and B as the special symbol big hit symbol is specified, a round game for a specified number of rounds (15 times) is executed in an open mode defined in the 15R big hit game. In addition, when the 5R big hit game based on the symbol A2 is specified as the special symbol big hit symbol, the main control CPU 30a executes the round game for the specified number of round games (for five times) in the release mode defined in the 5R big hit game. Let

Next, the one game continuous effect of this embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, when a one-game continuous effect is started in the symbol variation game, “rewind” is displayed on the effect display device 11 as an image. Thereafter, the effect image of “probability rushing” is displayed on the effect display device 11 while the blackout (BL) image is sandwiched in the middle. After that, the effect image by the background image corresponding to each round game effect is sequentially displayed on the effect display device 11. In this embodiment, the number of rounds indicating the number of round games is not displayed as an image. And in this embodiment, 5 rounds, 4 rounds, 3 rounds, 2 rounds, 1 round, so that the big hit game immediately before the 1-game continuous performance can be handled by either “15 rounds” or “5 rounds”. The effect image by the background image corresponding to is displayed on the effect display device 11 in this order. In addition, while these effect images are being displayed, “rewind” is continuously displayed on the effect display device 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, finally, the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol with the same odd number symbol is displayed on the effect display device 11 and is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  For this reason, the one-game continuous effect of the present embodiment is the effect image of the opening effect, the first time, the second time, the third time, from a plurality of effect images constituting the effect executed through the jackpot game shown in FIG. Each of the fourth, fifth, and fifth rounds of the game effect effect image and the ending effect effect image are configured. In the one-game continuous effect, these selected effect images are displayed on the effect display device 11 in the reverse order to the case where the effect executed through the jackpot game based on the probability variation shown in FIG. Is displayed. That is, the effect display device 11 displays corresponding effect images in the order of ending effect → 5th time → 4th time → 3rd time → second time → first time → opening effect.

  In the present embodiment, if the winning game is a symbol variation game that was triggered by the previous jackpot game and the symbol variation game that will be executed in the future, if both wins a probable variation jackpot, these symbol variation games have the same decorative symbol jackpot symbol. Can be displayed in a fixed stop display. For this reason, as in this embodiment, in the specification of setting a big hit symbol of the same decorative symbol among different types of big hits, the ornament that is fixedly stopped and displayed in the symbol variation game that triggered the previous big hit game The scenes that can be confirmed and stopped even in the symbol variation game that will be executed from now on will be the scenes that can be given probable big hits continuously.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects (1) to (5) and (7) of the first embodiment.
(8) As a condition for executing the single game continuous production, the decorative symbol displayed in the symbol variable game in which the big hit is won, and the type of the big hit this time was the trigger for the last big hit game to be performed is displayed. Set when jackpot symbols are associated. As a result, the same jackpot type does not have to be determined as the execution condition of the one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game to be executed in the future and the symbol variation game that triggered the previous jackpot game. Thus, it is possible to cause a one-game continuous production to appear appropriately without causing any inconsistency in production.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the jackpot symbol of the decorative symbol associated with the jackpot type. For this reason, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

  In this embodiment, when the jackpot game based on the pattern A is given, the jackpot symbol of the decorative symbol in which the symbols in all the columns become the same odd symbol, and the jackpot symbol in the decorative symbol in which the symbols in all the columns become the same even symbol The symbols ([111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777] [888]) are derived. In this embodiment, the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol that is the same even symbol in all the rows is a display result that notifies the player that there is a possibility that it is a probable big hit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a executes various effects according to the big hit of the decorative symbol displayed in a definite stop state when each command is input in the control related to the execution of the big hit game. 11 display contents are controlled. Then, the effect control CPU 31a causes the effect during the jackpot game based on the probability variation jackpot shown in FIG. 6A to be executed when the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol having the same odd number of symbols in all the rows is confirmed and stopped. Control. On the other hand, in the case where the effect control CPU 31a displays the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol in which all the rows are the same even symbols in a fixed stop display, by executing the effect during the big hit game shown in FIG. Control is performed so that there is a possibility of a probabilistic big hit even for a big hit symbol of a decorative symbol that is the same even symbol. That is, in this embodiment, even if the type of jackpot is the same, the subsequent effect (effect during the jackpot game) varies depending on the jackpot symbol of the decorative symbol displayed to be confirmed and stopped.

Next, processing executed by the effect control CPU 31a when executing a one-game continuous effect in the symbol variation game of this embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the variation pattern SPAP is designated by the variation pattern designation command, the production control CPU 31a is triggered by the last big hit game from the decorative symbol information stored in the production control RAM 31c. The big hit symbol of the decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game is confirmed. Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the one-game continuous effect if the decorative symbol information indicates the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol that is the same odd number in all the columns, and the one-game continuous effect. The processing related to the execution of is executed. For this reason, in this embodiment, a game continuous effect is executed in a scene in which the player knows that the probability variation jackpot is continuous, and in a scene in which the probability variation jackpot continues. become. In other words, in the present embodiment, “after the end of the jackpot game, it is the first (first time) symbol variation game”, “winning the jackpot and the winning is a promising jackpot”, “decorative symbol information However, the specific condition is that all the rows are the big hit symbols of the decorative symbols that are the same odd number symbols (the probability variation big hit was notified in the symbol change game that triggered the previous big hit game).

  On the other hand, even if the variation pattern SPAP is specified, the effect control CPU 31a shows the big hit symbol of the ornament design in which the ornament symbol information stored in the effect control RAM 31c is the same odd number of symbols in all columns. If not, it is determined not to execute the one-game continuous effect. In this case, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 11 to execute the jackpot effect that can be executed in accordance with the change time of the change pattern SPAP instead of the one-game continuous effect. For this reason, in this embodiment, the fluctuation pattern SPAP is shared with other contents of production.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects (1) to (5) and (7) of the first embodiment.
(9) Even if it is a pachinko gaming machine in which the development of the subsequent production changes depending on the jackpot symbol of the decorative symbol displayed to be confirmed and stopped, the jackpot game is continuously performed while maintaining the consistency in performance. In the situation, it is possible to entertain the player with a feeling of “repetition” rather than a feeling of “continuation”.

In addition, you may change each said embodiment as follows.
-Each embodiment can also be comprised so that 1 game continuous production can also be specified by the variation pattern NAP and SAP for jackpot production which can be selected irrespective of an internal control state. In such another example, it is possible to realize a specification in which the variation pattern SPAP is not set. Then, in the variation patterns NAP and SAP, the content of the production (normal reach or super reach) corresponding to one game series production is specified. In this case, the production time of one game continuous production and the production time of production contents that can be specified simultaneously (normal reach production time and super reach production time) are made to coincide. In this case, even if the variation patterns NAP and SAP are specified, the effect control CPU 31a specifies whether or not the symbol variation game to be executed from the type of the variation pattern satisfies the execution condition of the one-game continuous effect. You can't do it. For this reason, the effect control CPU 31a grasps the number of symbol variation games executed after inputting the probability variation command, so that the symbol variation game to be executed in the future is the number of symbol variation games after the probability variation big hit ends. You can specify if there is. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can specify whether or not the probability change command has been input and whether or not the last big hit game was a probability change big hit based on the decorative symbol information. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can identify the type of jackpot that is won by the special symbol stop symbol designation command. Moreover, according to this example, it is not necessary to separately provide a variation pattern distribution table depending on whether or not it is the first time (first time) after the end of the big hit game.

  -Moreover, in the said other example, CPU31a for production | presentation control may perform the execution lottery which determines whether 1 game continuous production is actually performed, when the execution conditions of 1 game continuous production are satisfy | filled. . In the execution lottery, for example, the symbol variation game is executed with the effect of the normal reach at a rate of 1/10 (1/10), while at the rate of 9/10 (1/10) with one game continuous effect. A symbol variation game is executed.

  In addition, in the above example, the selection ratio of the variation patterns NAP and SAP that can specify the execution of one game continuous effect in the table classified as the symbol A in the variation pattern distribution table T2 is based on the variation pattern distribution table T1 Can also be set very high. In the variation pattern distribution tables T1 and T2, the variation patterns that can be selected as the variation pattern are the same, but the selection ratio of each variation pattern is different. As a result, an effect according to the internal control state can be suitably caused to appear.

  In each embodiment, only the variation pattern SPAP may be distributed to the table classified as the symbol A in the variation pattern distribution table T2. That is, in the execution conditions, “the game is the first (first time) symbol variation game after the end of the probable big hit” and “the win is won and the win is the probable big win” In this case, the variation pattern SPAP is always selected, so that the execution condition for one game continuous production is satisfied.

  -In each embodiment, if it is a case where the execution conditions of 1 game continuous production are satisfy | filled irrespective of the kind of variation pattern, it can also be comprised so that 1 game continuous production can be performed according to the variation time of a variation pattern. In this example, “It is the first (first time) symbol fluctuation game after the end of the probable big hit” and “Winning the big win and the win is the probable big win” It becomes an execution condition (specific condition). The effect control CPU 31a grasps the number of symbol variation games executed after inputting the probability variation command, and the symbol variation game to be executed is the symbol variation game of the number of times after the probability variation big hit ends. Can be specified. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can specify whether or not the probability change command has been input and whether or not the last big hit game was a probability change big hit based on the decorative symbol information. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can identify the type of jackpot that is won by the special symbol stop symbol designation command. Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control can determine whether or not the execution condition for the one-game continuous effect is satisfied.

  -In each embodiment, the execution mode of the 1-game continuous effect is a mode in which an effect image in which the big-hit symbol of the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the symbol-variable game that finally triggered the big-hit game is displayed as an image If so, the intermediate process may be changed.

-For example, the execution mode of a one-game continuous effect can be configured with only an effect image of a round game effect.
In addition, the execution mode of the single game continuous effect can be configured to display the effect images during the big hit game from the next to the next in an appropriate order. In this case, it is particularly configured only with a background image of a round game effect, and the execution mode of the one game continuous effect is between pachinko machines with different detailed specifications as in the first to third embodiments. Allows diversion in

  ・ In addition, the execution mode of the one-game continuous effect is a symbol variation game in which a blackout (BL) image is continuously displayed in the middle of rewinding, and is finally triggered by the previous jackpot game. It may be an aspect in which the effect image in which the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is confirmed and stopped is displayed as an image.

  ・ In addition, the execution mode of the one game continuous effect is to record the effect image until the ending effect after the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game that triggered the previous jackpot game, It can also be realized by reversely reproducing the recorded effect image. In reverse playback, reverse playback can be performed by varying the speed according to the change time according to the change pattern. In this case, the effect control CPU 31a has a function of recording the effect image in the effect control RAM 31c so that the effect control CPU 31a records the effect image at a predetermined timing. It should be noted that the effect control CPU 31a can record the effect image for each big hit, or can record the effect image only in the case of a probable big hit. In addition, some pachinko gaming machines perform an effect that reflects the player's intention by using an effect button as an effect operating means that can be operated by the player during the effect of the big hit game. And according to this example, even with such a pachinko gaming machine, the effect during the big hit game reflecting the player's intention can be reproduced in reverse. In this case, the effect button is connected to the effect control CPU 31a (effect control board 31), and the effect control CPU 31a detects an operation signal indicating that the effect button has been operated, whereby the player's The intention will be reflected in the production.

  In each embodiment, it is possible to execute a one-game continuous effect involving an uncertain change big hit. That is, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a one-game continuous effect appears in a scene in which big hits (big hit games) continue. In this case, it is preferable that a one-game continuous effect is constituted by only the effect image of the round game effect as in the above-described example.

  In each embodiment, the variation pattern distribution table T2 is not used only in a scene that can satisfy the execution condition of the one-game continuous effect, but can be set as a table used in the internal control state in the probability variation state. In this case, even if the variation pattern SPAP is selected in a scene where the execution conditions for the one-game continuous effect cannot be satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a is allowed to execute other effect contents as in the third embodiment. That's fine. The effect control CPU 31a grasps the number of symbol variation games executed after inputting the probability variation command, and the symbol variation game to be executed is the symbol variation game of the number of times after the probability variation big hit ends. Can be specified. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can specify whether or not the probability change command has been input and whether or not the last big hit game was a probability change big hit based on the decorative symbol information. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can identify the type of jackpot that is won by the special symbol stop symbol designation command.

  -In each embodiment, during the execution of a single game series effect, even if the display area of the effect display device 11 is made smaller than usual at a position where it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the game, the symbol variation game with decorative symbols is executed. Good. In addition, during the execution of the one-game continuous effect, the effect design composed of symbols different from the numbers on the effect display device 11 can be changed. In this case, if the decorative pattern with numbers is the design for the first effect, the decorative design with symbols becomes the design for the second effect.

  -In each embodiment, between the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31, the sub control board which controls various effects collectively can also be newly provided. In the sub control board, a part of the process executed by the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) can be performed.

  In each embodiment, the effect display device 11 is a liquid crystal type, but may be a dot matrix type or a 7 segment LED type display device or a mechanical type display device such as a drum type.

  In each embodiment, the reach determination random number and the variation pattern distribution random number may be acquired together with the jackpot determination random number and the special figure distribution random number when winning the start winning opening 15.

  -In each embodiment, although it embodied in the pachinko gaming machine using a special design and a decoration design, you may materialize in the pachinko gaming machine using only a special design. In this case, the special symbol can be a symbol for production.
