Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a player's sense of expectation from lowering even if non-ready-to-win identification information is announced as a kind of identification information to be stopped in a first stopping variation display section out of a plurality of variation display sections in which variation display is brought to a stop first.SOLUTION: The probability of execution of a stopping pattern advance notice (advance notice of stopping of decorative patterns in a mode other than a ready-to-win display mode) in variation display resulting in a false continuation or a sudden probability variation jackpot becomes higher than the probability of execution of a stopping pattern advance notice (advance notice of stopping of the decorative patterns in a mode other than the ready-to-win display mode) when the variation display results in a losing other than the foregoing. The reliability of resulting in the false continuation when no ready-to-win display mode appears at a stage where right and left decorative patterns are stopped is higher when the same kind of decorative patterns as those actually brought to a stop are announced in advance than when no stopping pattern advance notices are carried out, and becomes much higher when the kind of the decorative patterns different from the decorative patterns actually brought to a stop are announced in advance.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and in particular, provides advance notice of identification information to be stopped by a first stop change display unit in which a change display is stopped before a predetermined post stop change display unit among a plurality of change display units. It relates to a gaming machine.

  The pachinko gaming machine performs a jackpot lottery when the game ball launched into the game area wins the start winning opening, and is controlled to the jackpot gaming state by winning the lottery. In addition, there are two types of jackpots: normal jackpots and more favorable probability variation jackpots. When the probability variation jackpot is reached, the gaming state after the jackpot gaming state is over, the next jackpot lottery probability is higher than normal. It is controlled to the probability fluctuation state which becomes high.

  The occurrence of such a jackpot gaming state or probability fluctuation state is caused by displaying a symbol (special symbol) in a variable manner on an image display device such as a liquid crystal display called a special symbol game, and there is a predetermined symbol (generally) Are notified by deriving symbols of the same type). And in the period until the result of the special figure game is derived, in order to effectively increase the player's sense of expectation and improve the interest of the game, Various effects such as displaying images are performed in the image display device.

  Of course, no matter what effects are performed before the result of the special figure game is derived, whether or not the jackpot is generated depends on the combination of the finally derived symbol types. For example, in a pachinko gaming machine of the type that displays symbols variably in the three most common left, middle, and right fluctuation areas, and the same type of symbols is a big hit, the left and right symbols stop first Here, when the same type of symbols are arranged, the reach display mode is set, and when the reach display mode is displayed and the symbols that are finally stopped are also aligned with the same type of symbols, the jackpot display mode is set.

  In this way, the player is more interested in what kind of designs will be stopped in addition to what kind of effects will be performed until the result of the special figure game is derived. Has a sense of expectation. Therefore, in order to respond straightly to the interests of such players, before the stop signifying the end of the reach state (big hit or losing) is made, a notice of stop sign is given and the sign of the figure that will be stopped There was a thing which announced a kind (for example, refer to patent documents 1).

JP 2002-239158 A

  However, when the jackpot result is displayed in the special figure game, since the fluctuation time from the start of the special figure game is generally longer, it will be delayed even if the player expects only this . As described above, when the jackpot result is displayed in the special figure game, the reach display mode is displayed on the premise of almost all cases, so the player first reaches the reach display mode at the beginning of the special figure game. Will be interested in whether or not. In other words, you will be interested in what kind of symbols other than the symbols that will be stopped at the end.

  Here, when the game machine of Patent Document 1 is applied and a symbol other than the symbol that is finally stopped is foretold, the player is expected to be a big hit if the forewarned symbol is not in a reach display mode. The feeling is also removed. This will effectively increase the player's expectation, such as expecting the player to display the reach display mode first, and then expecting to win a big win. Will be impossible.

  The present invention provides a player's discriminating information that does not become a reach display mode as identification information that will be stopped by a first stop variation display unit that is first stopped from a plurality of variation display units. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can improve the interest of a game without reducing expectation.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention provides:
A plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed in a plurality of variation display portions (decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c) according to establishment of a predetermined start condition, and a first stop variation display portion (left) of the plurality of variation display portions is displayed. And the change of the identification information in the post-stop change display section (inside the decorative design display area 9b) different from the previous stop change display section after the display of the change of the identification information in the decorative pattern display areas 9a and 9c on the right is stopped. A variable display device (variable display device 9) for stopping the display is provided, and when the combination of specific identification information is stopped on the variable display device, the game is played in a specific gaming state (first jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player A gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 1) for controlling the state,
Specific determination means (CPU 56: jackpot lottery, jackpot type lottery) for deciding whether or not to control the specific gaming state after stopping the variation display of identification information before the variation display of identification information is stopped ,
The means for selecting the variation pattern of the identification information performed in the variation display device until the variation display of the identification information is stopped according to the determination result of the specific determination means, and controlling to the specific gaming state When a change is determined, change pattern selection means for selecting a reach change pattern (normal reach, super reach) and a re-change pattern (pseudo-continuous) at a higher rate than when it is not determined to control to the specific gaming state ( CPU56: Determination of variation pattern)
In accordance with the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection means, the variation display unit constituting the variation display device displays the identification information in a variable manner, and the determination result of the specific determination means and the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection means Variation display execution means (display control CPU of display control board 80: execution of variation display of decorative symbols) for stopping the identification information of the combination according to
Before the variable display of the identification information in each of the plurality of variable display units is stopped, the identification information notice means for notifying the identification information to be stopped by the variable display unit (display control CPU of display control board 80: stop) Design notice),
The variation display execution means includes:
When a reach variation pattern is selected as the variation pattern, the predetermined stop reach display unit stops the identification information that becomes a reach display mode that constitutes a part of the combination of the specific identification information, and then the predetermined reach is reached. Reach fluctuation display execution means for stopping the identification information on the post-stop fluctuation display section after performing the production;
When a re-variation pattern is selected as the variation pattern, a combination of identification information different from the combination of the specific identification information is finally displayed on the plurality of variation display units before the variation display of the identification information is finally stopped. Re-variable display executing means for executing re-variable display once or a plurality of times for displaying the identification information again in a variable manner in all the variable display sections after being temporarily stopped,
The identification information notice means includes:
When the re-variation pattern is selected as the variation pattern, the re-variation display notifies the first stop variation display section of the identification information that is temporarily stopped (in the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the first temporary variation pattern is displayed). With the notice of the types of decorative symbols to be stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c at the time of stoppage,
When the re-variation pattern is selected, the probability of notifying the identification information that will be temporarily stopped on the first stop variation display portion is the probability that the change pattern other than the re-variation pattern is selected. The identification information that does not become the reach display mode is notified in advance as the identification information that is stopped by the first stop change display unit so that the probability that the identification information that is stopped by the stop change display unit is notified is higher. Non-reach display mode notice means (FIG. 5A),
Reach display mode notifying means for notifying that the identification information in the reach display mode may be stopped by the first stop change display unit.

  In the gaming machine according to the first aspect, when it is determined to control to a specific gaming state that is advantageous to the player, a combination of specific identification information is stopped on a plurality of variable display portions. That is, when the combination of identification information stopped by the plurality of variation display units becomes a combination of specific identification information, the game state is controlled to the specific gaming state. Instead of stopping the variation display of the identification information on the multiple variation display sections all at once, the variation display of the identification information on the subsequent stop variation display section is stopped after the variation display of the identification information on the first stop variation display section is stopped. Will be. In addition, identification information to be stopped by the variable display unit may be notified in advance before the variable display of the identification information in each variable display unit is stopped. For the first stop fluctuation display section in which the fluctuation display of the identification information is stopped first, the identification to be stopped by the first stop fluctuation display section before the fluctuation display of the identification information in the first stop fluctuation display section is stopped. Information will be announced.

  Here, if the identification information notified before the variable display of the identification information in the first stop variable display unit is stopped is the identification information that does not become the reach display mode, the player displays the reach in the variable display of the identification information. In addition to not being able to expect an aspect to be displayed, a combination of identification information when the identification information is stopped in a plurality of variable display sections cannot be expected to be a combination of specific identification information (notified in advance). Assuming that the reach display mode is not displayed according to the identification information, no particular identification information is combined no matter what identification information is stopped in the post-stop change display section).

  However, as a variation pattern in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the combination of identification information different from the combination of specific identification information is temporarily stopped in a plurality of variation display units, and then all variation display units A re-variation pattern for executing re-variation display for causing the identification information to be variably displayed again may be selected. In this case, even if the identification information is not temporarily stopped by a combination of specific identification information, the variation display of the identification information may be finally stopped by a combination of specific identification information. When such a re-variation pattern is selected, the identification information is variably displayed again in all the variation display portions, not the identification information that is finally stopped in the first stop variation display portion. The identification information (identification information that does not become the reach display mode) that is temporarily stopped may be notified in advance before the first stop change display unit.

  For this reason, even if identification information that is not in the reach display mode is notified by the identification information notification means, the re-variation pattern is still selected at the time when the notification is performed (that is, finally the specific identification information Since the player can sufficiently expect that the player may have a combination of the above, the player's sense of expectation is not diminished. In addition, the probability that the identification information that does not become the reach display mode when the re-variation pattern is selected is predicted, the identification information that does not become the reach display mode when a variation pattern other than the re-variation pattern is selected. Therefore, the advance notice of the identification information that does not become the reach display mode causes the player to expect that the re-variation pattern is selected, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  Note that the identification information notifying means stops the variation display of the identification information in all of the two or more first stop variation display portions when the first stop variation display portion is composed of two or more variation display portions. Prior to this, identification information that will be stopped by all of the preceding stop change display sections may be notified in advance. Alternatively, the identification information notice means may not yet recognize the identification information change display in a part of the two or more previous stop change display parts and before the identification information change display stops in another part. The identification information that will be stopped may be notified in advance by some other first stop change display units in which the change display of information is not stopped. The same applies to a gaming machine according to a second aspect described later.

In the gaming machine according to the first aspect,
In addition to the identification information to be temporarily stopped by the first stop change display unit on the condition that a re-change pattern is selected as the change pattern, the identification information notice unit, the post stop change display unit It is also possible to include all identification information notifying means for notifying the identification information to be temporarily stopped (display control CPU of the display control board 80 (FIG. 5: the stop symbol in FIG. 5 is also notified)).

  Here, not only the identification information that will be stopped (once) on the first stop change display unit, but also the identification information that will be (once) stopped on the rear stop change display unit will be notified to the player. You can feel unexpectedness. In addition, when the post-stop variation display section is notified of the identification information to be stopped (once), it is determined that the re-variation pattern has been selected at this point, so that the stop is displayed at each variation display section. It is possible to increase the player's interest in the advance notice of the identification information to be performed.

In the gaming machine according to the first aspect,
The non-reach display mode notice means includes first identification information (same as the decorative pattern to be stopped) as identification information to be notified and second identification information (decoration to be stopped) different from the first identification information. Notice information selection means for selecting any one of those different from the design), and the notice information selected by the notice identification information selection means is notified as identification information to be stopped by the first stop change display section It may be. In this case,
The notice identification information selection means controls the ratio of the probability of selecting the second identification information to the probability of selecting the first identification information when the re-variation pattern is selected to the specific gaming state. The ratio of the probability of selecting the second identification information to the probability of selecting the first identification information is different from the probability of selecting the first identification information when a variation pattern other than the re-variation pattern is selected. The identification information to be notified can be selected (FIG. 5A).

  In this case, the re-variation pattern is changed depending on whether the first identification information or the second identification information is notified as the identification information to be (temporarily) stopped on the first stop change display section. Since the reliability of the selection is different, the identification information to be notified as the identification information to be stopped on the first stop change display section (the first identification information is notified in advance or the second identification It is possible to increase the player's interest in whether the information is to be announced.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the second aspect of the present invention provides:
A plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed in a plurality of variation display portions (decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c) according to establishment of a predetermined start condition, and a first stop variation display portion (left) of the plurality of variation display portions is displayed. And the change of the identification information in the post-stop change display section (inside the decorative design display area 9b) different from the previous stop change display section after the display of the change of the identification information in the decorative pattern display areas 9a and 9c on the right is stopped. A variable display device (variable display device 9) for stopping the display is provided, and when the combination of specific identification information is stopped on the variable display device, the game is played in a specific gaming state (first jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player A gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 1) for controlling the state,
Means for deciding whether or not to control the specific gaming state after stopping the variable display of identification information before the variable display of identification information is stopped, and for a predetermined period of time as the specific game result The first specific gaming state (second jackpot gaming state) controlled in this way and the second specific gaming state (first jackpot gaming state) controlled over a longer period of time than the first specific gaming state Specific determination means for determining whether to do (CPU 56: jackpot lottery, jackpot type lottery),
After the first specific game state ends, special game state control means (CPU 56: second big hit game based on occurrence of a sudden big hit) that controls the game state to a special game state that is advantageous to a player different from the specific game state. After the state ends, control to the probability variation state),
A means for selecting a variation pattern of identification information performed in the variation display device until the variation display of the identification information is stopped according to a determination result of the specific determination means, and is controlled to the second specific gaming state When it is decided to do so, a fluctuation pattern selection means (CPU 56: fluctuation pattern) that selects a reach fluctuation pattern (normal reach, super reach) at a higher rate than when it is not decided to control to the second specific gaming state. Decision)
In accordance with the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection means, the variation display unit constituting the variation display device displays the identification information in a variable manner, and the determination result of the specific determination means and the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection means Is a means for stopping the identification information of the combination corresponding to each of the variable display units, and when it is determined to control to the first specific gaming state, identification of a combination different from the combination of the specific identification information Fluctuation display execution means (display control of the display control board 80) that stops information (the variation pattern of the decorative pattern when the sudden hit is determined is the same as non-reach loss, and the result of loss is displayed without reaching) CPU: execution of decorative pattern change display),
Before the variable display of the identification information in each of the plurality of variable display units is stopped, the identification information notice means for notifying the identification information to be stopped by the variable display unit (display control CPU of display control board 80: stop) Design notice),
The variation display execution means stops the identification information that becomes a reach display mode constituting a part of the combination of the specific identification information in the first stop variation display unit when a reach variation pattern is selected as the variation pattern. And a reach fluctuation display execution means for stopping the identification information on the post stop fluctuation display section after executing a predetermined reach effect.
The identification information notice means has a probability that the identification information to be stopped by the first stop change display unit when the control to the first specific gaming state is determined is in the specific gaming state. Identification to be stopped by the first stop change display unit so that the probability of notifying the identification information to be stopped by the first stop change display unit when it is not decided to control is higher Non-reach display mode notice means (FIG. 5 (a)) for notifying the identification information that does not become the reach display mode as information;
Reach display mode notifying means for notifying that the identification information in the reach display mode may be stopped by the first stop change display unit.

  The specific determination means includes a special determination means (suddenly probable big hit) for determining to control to the special game state after controlling to the first specific game state, and the control to the first specific game state after the control. Non-special determination means (small hit) for determining not to control to the special gaming state may be included. In this case, the special gaming state determining means may control to the special gaming state on condition that the first specific gaming state controlled based on the determination of the special determining means has ended. it can.

  In the gaming machine according to the second aspect, when it is determined to control to the second specific gaming state that is particularly advantageous for the player among the specific gaming states, the identification information of the specific identification information is displayed on the plurality of variation display units. The combination is stopped. That is, when the combination of identification information stopped by the plurality of variable display units becomes a combination of specific identification information, the second specific gaming state is controlled. Instead of stopping the variation display of the identification information on the multiple variation display sections all at once, the variation display of the identification information on the subsequent stop variation display section is stopped after the variation display of the identification information on the first stop variation display section is stopped. Will be. In addition, identification information to be stopped by the variable display unit may be notified in advance before the variable display of the identification information in each variable display unit is stopped. For the first stop fluctuation display section in which the fluctuation display of the identification information is stopped first, the identification to be stopped by the first stop fluctuation display section before the fluctuation display of the identification information in the first stop fluctuation display section is stopped. Information will be announced.

  Here, if the identification information notified before the variable display of the identification information in the first stop variable display unit is stopped is the identification information that does not become the reach display mode, the player displays the reach in the variable display of the identification information. In addition to not being able to expect an aspect to be displayed, a combination of identification information when the identification information is stopped in a plurality of variable display sections cannot be expected to be a combination of specific identification information (notified in advance). Assuming that the reach display mode is not displayed according to the identification information, no particular identification information is combined no matter what identification information is stopped in the post-stop change display section).

  However, in the gaming machine according to the second aspect, when it is determined to control to the first specific gaming state among the specific gaming states, the first specific gaming state itself controlled according to this determination is the player. Although it is not so advantageous for the player, after the first specific game state is finished, the game is controlled (possibly) in a special game state that is advantageous for the player different from the specific game state. Thus, even when it is determined to control to the first specific gaming state with control to the special gaming state (or there is a possibility of control), it is stopped by the first stop variation display unit. As the type of identification information, the identification information that does not become the reach display mode may be notified in advance.

  For this reason, even if identification information that does not enter the reach display mode is notified by the identification information notification means, it is still determined that the control to the first specific gaming state is still performed at the time when this notification is performed (ie, the special information state) Since the player can sufficiently expect to be controlled in the gaming state), the player's sense of expectation is not reduced. In addition, the probability that the identification information that is not in the reach display mode when it is determined to control to the first specific gaming state is notified in advance is the probability that the control to the specific gaming state is not determined. Since the identification information that does not become higher than the probability of being notified, the advance notice of the identification information that does not become the reach display mode will cause the player to expect control to the special gaming state through the first specific gaming state. Can improve the interest of

In the gaming machine according to the second aspect,
In addition to the identification information to be stopped by the first stop change display section on the condition that the control to the first specific gaming state is determined, the identification information notifying means, in addition to the post stop change The identification information to be stopped on the display unit may include all identification information notifying means for notifying (display control CPU of the display control board 80 (FIG. 5: stop symbol in FIG. 5 is also notified)).

  Here, not only the identification information that will be stopped by the first stop variation display section, but also the type of identification information that will be stopped by the subsequent stop variation display section is noticed, and the player feels unexpected. Can be made. In addition, when the post-stop variation display section is notified of the type of identification information to be stopped, it is determined at this time that control is made to the first specific gaming state (that is, the first specific gaming state). Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the advance notice of the type of identification information to be stopped by each variation display unit.

In the gaming machine according to the second aspect,
The non-reach display mode notice means includes first identification information (same as the decorative pattern to be stopped) as identification information to be notified and second identification information (decoration to be stopped) different from the first identification information. Notice information selection means for selecting any one of those different from the design), and the notice information selected by the notice identification information selection means is notified as identification information to be stopped by the first stop change display section It may be. In this case,
The notice identification information selection means has a ratio of a probability of selecting the second identification information to a probability of selecting the first identification information when it is determined to control the first specific gaming state. The identification information to be notified in advance is different from the ratio of the probability of selecting the second identification information to the probability of selecting the first identification information when it is not determined to control to the specific gaming state. It can be selected (FIG. 5A).

  In this case, the first specific gaming state depends on whether the first identification information or the second identification information is notified as the type of identification information to be stopped by the first stop change display section. Since the reliability of the fact that it is determined to be controlled (that is, to be controlled to the special gaming state through the first specific gaming state) is different, it is stopped in the first stop variation display unit It is possible to increase the player's interest in the identification information that is notified as the identification information (whether the first identification information is notified or the second identification information is notified).

In the gaming machine according to the first and second aspects,
The first stop variation display unit may include two or more variation display units. In this case,
The identification information notifying unit may sequentially notify the identification information to be stopped by the two or more first stop change display units at different timings for each change display unit (display control of the display control board 80). CPU: The stop symbol notice is performed in the order of the left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol).

  In this case, it is possible to gradually increase the player's sense of expectation as to what kind of identification information will be stopped by two or more first stop change display sections, and improve the interest of the game be able to.

The gaming machine according to the first and second aspects is as follows.
When the starting condition is satisfied, the numerical data updating means for updating predetermined numerical data within a predetermined numerical range is controlled to the specific gaming state after the change display of the identification information based on the satisfied starting condition is stopped. Specific determination numerical data (a big hit determination random number, a big hit type determination random number) for the determination by the specific determination means, and a fluctuation pattern determination numerical value for the fluctuation pattern selection means to select a fluctuation pattern Numerical data extraction means (CPU 56, display control CPU of display control board 80) for extracting numerical data including data (random number for variation type determination);
Reservation storage means (reserved storage buffer of RAM 55) that stores numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means as a reserved storage until a predetermined upper limit number is reached and variable information is displayed based on the numerical data. )When,
The identification information notice unit is in accordance with the numerical data stored in the holding storage unit, before the stop of the variable display of the identification information that is executed before the execution of the variable display of the identification information based on the numerical data is started. In addition, pre-identification information notice means (CPU for display control of display control board 80: pre-reading stop notice (FIG. 5B)) for notifying the identification information to be stopped by each variable display section is further included. be able to.

  At this time, the identification information that will be stopped in each variation display section is notified before the variation display of the identification information that has not yet been executed is stopped. The player's interest can be directed to the variation display of the identification information executed before the variation display, and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, when the identification information different from the identification information notified by the previous identification information notifying means is stopped by the previous stop change display unit, a sense of expectation for the change display of the identification information executed based on the hold storage (re-execution) An expectation that is a variation pattern and an expectation that is controlled to the special game state through the first specific game state) can be given to the player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Here, in the case of the gaming machine according to the first aspect,
The numerical data extraction means extracts numerical data including fluctuation pattern determination numerical data (variation type determination random number) for the fluctuation pattern selection means to select a fluctuation pattern,
The pre-determining means determines whether or not to control the specific gaming state based on the numerical value data for specific determination when the start condition of the identification information is satisfied (a jackpot lottery is a special symbol display) (When the start condition of the special symbol variation display in the containers 10a and 10b is satisfied),
The variation pattern determining means includes a determination result of the prior determination means, a number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage means when a start condition of identification information variation display is established, and the numerical data extracting means The variation pattern is determined on the basis of the value of the variation pattern determining numerical data extracted by the above and the determination values corresponding to a plurality of types of variation patterns stored in the variation pattern storage means (FIG. 4: The range of random numbers for selecting the loss variation pattern differs depending on whether the number of reserved memories at the start of variation display is 2 or less or 3 or more),
The determination value corresponding to the re-variation pattern is set to the same determination value regardless of the number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage unit when the variation display start condition of the identification information is satisfied (pseudo). The range of random numbers for selecting a continuous variation pattern is the same when the number of reserved memories is 2 or less or 3 or more (FIG. 4)),
The determination value corresponding to the non-re-variation pattern different from the re-variation pattern has a determination value that differs depending on the number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage means when the start condition of the variation display of the identification information is satisfied. (The range of random numbers for selecting the non-reach loss / normal reach loss variation pattern differs depending on whether the number of reserved memories is 2 or less and 3 or more (FIG. 4)).
In this case, the gaming machine is
Whether or not the re-variation pattern is obtained based on the value of the specific determination numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means and the value of the fluctuation pattern determination numerical data before the determination by the fluctuation pattern determination means Pre-start judgment means for judging whether or not (by analyzing the start winning command, it can be determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, the short-term jackpot or sudden probability change jackpot, and even more detailed variation pattern Although it cannot be determined, it can be determined at least whether it is a variation pattern belonging to the type of at least one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, three pseudo-reams, and four pseudo-reams).
The prior identification information notice means performs notice of the identification information that will be stopped by the prior stop change display section depending on whether or not the re-variation pattern is determined by the pre-start determination means. (The pre-reading stop notice may include a pseudo-variable pattern in the pending memory, a sudden sudden change in the pending memory, or It is determined according to the classification of whether there is a variation pattern or sudden sudden change jackpot).

  In this case, the determination value corresponding to the non-re-variation pattern different from the re-variation pattern is different depending on the number of the hold memories stored in the hold storage means when the start condition of the variation display of the identification information is satisfied. However, the determination value corresponding to the re-variation pattern becomes the same determination value regardless of the number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage means when the variation display start condition of the identification information is satisfied. ing. As a result, while the re-variation pattern is always selected at a constant rate, the variation pattern (predetermined other than the re-variation pattern is determined according to the number stored in the holding storage means when the start condition of the variation display of the identification information is satisfied. It is also possible to change the ratio of selecting the fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, the variation pattern that is actually determined for the variation display of the identification information each time is determined according to the number of pending storage when the variation display start condition of the identification information is satisfied, It is selected in the same way regardless of the number of reserved storages when the start condition for the variable display of the identification information is satisfied. For this reason, when the start condition is satisfied, a re-variation pattern can be obtained even if the number of reserved memories when the start condition of the variation display of the identification information corresponding to the satisfied start condition is satisfied is not confirmed. Only can be specified.

A chance button 16 is provided on the front surface of the hit ball supply tray 3. The chance button 16 is produced depending on whether or not the player operates a predetermined type of effect on the effect means such as the variable display device 9 and the operation satisfies a predetermined operation condition. It is a button that can change the result.

  Below the hitting ball supply tray 3, there is an extra ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the hitting ball in the game area 7 by rotating. Is provided. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  Near the center of the game area 7, a variable display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided. In a circular frame surrounding the periphery of the variable display device 9, decoration lamps 25 a to 25 c serving as production means and an accessory 26 are provided. Below the variable display device 9 in the game area 7, two start winning ports 14a and 14b are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. A variable winning device 15 that facilitates winning of a game ball by being in an open state is provided at the start winning opening 14b on the lower side. When the variable winning device 15 is in the closed state, it is difficult to win a game ball to the start winning port 14b, but it is not completely impossible.

  A special variable winning device 20 is provided below the start winning ports 14a and 14b so that the large winning port 21 is opened. When the special variable prize-winning device 20 is in the closed state, the game ball cannot win at all in the big prize opening 21. The position at which the special variable winning device 20 is provided is that if the player is proceeding with the game while looking at the variable display device 9, the player is almost sure whether or not the big winning opening 21 is open. The position is unknown. On both sides of the special variable prize-winning device 20, special symbol indicators 10a and 10b composed of 7-segment LEDs are provided. In the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the special symbol displayed by the 7-segment LED is displayed in a variable manner.

  The special symbol display 10a displays a variation of the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball at the start winning port 14a, and the special symbol display 10b displays the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball at the starting winning port 14b. Display the fluctuation of. Both the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b do not display the variation of the special symbol at the same time. After the special symbol variation display is completed on the special symbol indicator 10a or 10b, both of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b are displayed. When the condition for starting the variable display is satisfied, the special symbol display is performed preferentially on the special symbol display 10b to which so-called electric chew support is performed.

  Among the display results displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the specific display result (bonus symbol) includes a first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and a second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). The third specific display result (suddenly probable jackpot symbol) and the fourth specific display result (temporal jackpot symbol) are included. Display results other than the first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result are lost patterns.

  There are 2 ^ 7-1 = 127 combinations of the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b depending on the combination of lighting / non-lighting of the seven segments (^ represents a power and all of the seven segments are not lighted) This is excluded as a display result of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, so that 1 is subtracted). The first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result may include symbols that are relatively easy to understand for the player, such as numbers “0” to “9”. However, the combination of lighting / non-lighting of seven segments that cannot be recognized as meaningful characters is also adopted, and it is very difficult to specify the type of jackpot from the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become a thing.

  After the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to a probability variation state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal gaming state (or the short time state in which the probability variation state is not established).

  After the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the second big hit gaming state described later. After the end of the second jackpot gaming state, until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs, the gaming state is controlled to a short time state (a state in which the time for changing the display of special symbols and normal symbols is shortened). In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After displaying the fourth specific display result (short-time big hit symbol) on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to a first big hit gaming state to be described later. After the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the gaming state is controlled in a short-time state until the variable symbol display is performed 100 times on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, but the jackpot probability until the next jackpot occurrence is usually set It is controlled to the normal gaming state (becomes lower than the jackpot probability of the probability variation state). The occurrence of any type of jackpot in the normal gaming state is referred to as first hit.

  Further, the variable display device 9 performs variable display in which decorative symbols (for example, 10 types “0” to “9”) are scrolled vertically in three decorative symbol display areas 9 a to 9 c arranged in the horizontal direction. Is going. The variable display device 9 is a variable display device for displaying the contents of the variable display performed by the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b to the player with enhanced effects by the variable symbol display. As long as the variation display of the special symbol is continued on the special symbol display 10a, 10b, even if the variation display of the decoration symbol is temporarily stopped (temporary stop), the definite display result for the big hit lottery and the big hit type lottery is obtained. It has never been shown.

  Further, in the variable display device 9, effects such as display of characters as the decorative symbols are variably displayed (various effects such as a stop symbol advance notice, a pre-read stop notice advance notice, a pseudo-continuous notice, a reach notice, etc., which will be described later). Is done. Further, the variable display device 9 is used not only for displaying a decorative symbol in accordance with a special symbol, but also for performing a big hit round effect.

  It should be noted that the control from the first jackpot state to the probability variation state (+ short time) is indicated by both the display of the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). There is no change in the control of the gaming state. However, when the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time are aligned with “1” or “7”. For example, it is notified that the state is controlled to the probability variation state.

  On the other hand, when the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed, the fourth specific display result (temporal bonus jackpot symbol) is displayed as the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time. Similarly to the time, it is not notified that the probability variation state is controlled by arranging with symbols other than “1” or “7”. When the fourth specific display result (the symbol for winning the time and college) is displayed, the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 is a symbol other than “1” or “7”. The fact that it is controlled to the probability variation state is notified by the probability variation promotion effect performed in the jackpot round effect.

  When the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 are displayed in the same three decorative symbols as when the special symbols are displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become the aspect which is not prepared. Note that the second jackpot gaming state controlled by the sudden probability jackpot, as will be described later, is that the opening of the big prize opening 21 is completed in a very short period, and the jackpot round effect is not executed until the next fluctuation display starts. Keep the symbol displayed. However, when the second jackpot gaming state ends and the next variation display is started, the probability variation state is controlled.

  Further, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a or 10b and the variable display device 9 is performing the variable symbol display, the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on or the accessory 26 is displayed. There is a case where an effect by driving is performed. The effects executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are roughly divided into a notice and a notice. The notice is a notice that the contents indicated by the notice may occur, and is indicated by the notice. It is distinguished from notifications that are notifications that definitely indicate that content will occur. However, it only shows the possibility until the end of a series of productions, but if a final announcement is made at the final part of the series of productions, the final part will be announced and the part before it will be announced It will be a production with meaning.

  A game ball enters the start winning opening 14a, 14b in the lower display area of the display area of the variable display device 9, but the start condition is still satisfied, but the start condition of the special symbol indicators 10a, 10b (for example, the previous special display) The number of reserved memories stored in the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) of the main board 31 to be described later as the number of times that the starting condition is not established (end of symbol change display, end of jackpot gaming state) is established. Special symbol hold storage display sections 11a and 11b are set as display means.

  The special symbol hold storage display unit 11a includes a display unit of four icons, and every time there is an effective start win (start win when the hold storage number is less than 4 in the present embodiment) to the start winning port 14a, Each time an icon to be displayed is added to the right side of the currently displayed icon and the special symbol display on the special symbol display device 10a is started, the icon displayed on the leftmost side (started this time) (The one corresponding to the variable display) is deleted, and the other displayed icons are shifted to the left one by one and displayed. That is, the number of icons to be displayed is reduced by one. Similarly, for the special symbol hold storage display unit 11b, every time there is an effective start winning in the start winning opening 14b, the number of icons is increased by one, and the special symbol display unit 10b starts the variable symbol variable display. Reduce the icon by one.

  In the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2), the jackpot extracted by the CPU 56 (see FIG. 2) of the main board 31 when the special symbol start condition in the special symbol display device 10a is established (the hit ball wins the start winning opening 14a). Four pending storage buffers are provided for storing the extraction order of various random numbers such as random numbers for determination in an identifiable manner. The special symbol hold storage display unit 11a displays the number of hold storage buffers (holding storage number) in which various random numbers are stored among the hold storage buffers so as to be specified. In the reserved storage buffer, numerical data for which the start condition (for example, the end of the previous special symbol variation display, the end of the jackpot gaming state) is not established among the extracted random numbers is set as a predetermined upper limit number. Up to 4 are stored. A similar reserved memory buffer is provided for the special symbol reserved memory display unit 11b.

  The winning balls that have entered the starting winning ports 14a and 14b are respectively guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by starting port switches 62a and 62b (see FIG. 2). The variable winning device 15 is opened by a solenoid 71 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71 in accordance with the result of the normal symbol variation display described later, thereby making it easier for the game ball to win the start winning opening 14b (easier to start winning) and for the player. This is an advantageous state.

  Further, the special variable winning device 20 is movable by a solenoid 72 (see FIG. 2) and is in an acceptable state in which a game ball can be won in the grand prize winning port 21, and in an unacceptable state in which a game ball cannot be won in the grand prize winning port 21. The large winning opening 21 is opened in the acceptable state. Also, the winning ball guided from the special variable winning device 20 to the back of the game board 6 is detected by the count switch 63 (see FIG. 2). A solenoid 73 (see FIG. 2) for switching the route in the special winning opening 21 is also provided on the back of the game board 6.

  In the first jackpot gaming state, the special variable prize winning device 20 is in a state in which the big prize opening 21 is opened until a predetermined time elapses from the opening of the big prize opening 21 or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins. And Until a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds in the first jackpot gaming state, 1 second in the second jackpot gaming state) has elapsed after the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened or closed, or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls One round is required until winning the big prize opening 21. The jackpot gaming state is a gaming state in which the opening of the big winning opening 21 is repeatedly provided for a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times).

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 also opens the prize winning opening 21 only twice in a very short time (for example, about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds) in the second jackpot gaming state. The gaming state before being controlled to the probability variation state when a sudden probability change big hit is this second big hit gaming state. In the second jackpot gaming state, the opening of the grand prize winning opening 21 is performed only for a very short period. Therefore, when one hit ball is finished without winning the big winning prize opening 21, it is controlled to the probability variation state. In many cases, the player is not aware of the fact that the game is controlled to the second big hit gaming state.

  Further, on the right side of the game area 7, a normal symbol display 12 made up of a pair of left and right LEDs labeled “◯” and “×” is provided. The normal symbol display 12 can variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When the gate switch 61 (see FIG. 2) detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b, a random number for determination per normal symbol is extracted and the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31 (see FIG. 2). In the normal symbol buffer of FIG. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol that can be stored in the normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) is four. If the normal symbol display 12 can start the variable display in which the normal symbol display state changes ("○" and "x" are alternately turned on) (the end of the previous variable display in the normal symbol display 12). Then, the normal symbol display unit 12 starts to display the variation of the normal symbol.

  Above the normal symbol display 12, a normal symbol holding storage indicator having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer. 13 is provided. When the gate switch 61 detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b and a new random number for determining the normal symbol is stored, the normal symbol storage memory display 13 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. . The number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by 1 every time the normal symbol display 12 starts to display fluctuations of normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”).

  In the normal symbol display 12, the left and right lamps marked with ○ and X (the symbols become visible when lit) are alternately lit, so that the fluctuation of the normal symbol is performed. For example, if the time-short state is 2.9 seconds, otherwise it is 29.2 seconds). If the left lamp with a circle is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. When the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is a win, the variable winning device 15 is only for a predetermined time (for example, 2.9 seconds in the short time state, 1.4 seconds in the short time state). It becomes an open state.

  Whether or not to win the result of the normal symbol variation display is determined by the value of the random number for determination per normal symbol extracted when the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b and is detected by the gate switch 61. Is determined according to whether or not the value matches a predetermined judgment value per ordinary symbol. The hit probability is very high (for example, 35/36) in the short-time state, but is low (for example, 1/36) if it is not in the short-time state. In the short-time state, since the percentage of the variable winning device 15 being in the open state is very high in this way, the number of game balls held by the player is not reduced (or even if it is reduced, the reduction amount is very small). The game is ready to proceed.

  Winning holes 29a to 29d are provided on the left and lower sides of the gate 28a and on the lower and right sides of the gate 28b, respectively. When it is detected by the winning port switch 64a (see FIG. 2) that a game ball has won the winning ports 29a to 29d, a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. The payout of the game ball is also performed by winning the game ball to the start winning ports 14a and 14b and the big winning port 21, but is not performed even if the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b.

  In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there is provided an out port 30 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A top frame lamp 40, a frame lamp left 41, and a frame lamp right 42 provided on the front frame are provided at the outer peripheral upper portion, the outer peripheral left portion, and the outer peripheral right portion of the game area 7.

  Although not shown in FIG. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a hitting ball launching device 45 (see FIG. 2) that drives a driving motor by operating a hitting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball into the gaming area 7. It has been. The game balls launched from the hit ball launching device 45 enter the game area 7 through a hit ball rail mounted in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7 on the game board 6, and then descend the game area 7. . The game balls that have not won any of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, the big winning port 21, and the winning ports 29a to 29d are discharged from the out port 30.

Is a microcomputer for effect control that controls light emitting bodies such as lamps and LEDs provided in the variable display device 9, the speaker 27, and the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the effect control command (control signal).

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variation display on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment and the decorative symbol variation display on the variable display device 9 will be described. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot (Lottery lottery), if it is a jackpot, which type of jackpot is to be won (Lottery type lottery), and what is the variation pattern of the special symbol (Determining the variation pattern) is determined when the special symbol variation display start condition in the special symbol displays 10a and 10b is established based on various random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning.

  First, the determination of jackpot will be described. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a jackpot determination table stored in the ROM 54. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot is determined based on the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3 (a) and the jackpot determination random number among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning (random R: 0 to 65535). And is determined based on the value of. In normal time (non-probability fluctuation), if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1000 to 1059 or 13320 to 13477, it is determined to be a jackpot, otherwise it is determined to be lost. decide. On the other hand, at the time of probability variation, if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1020-1519 or 13320-15004, it is determined to be a jackpot, and if it is any other value, it is determined to be lost.

  Next, determination of the jackpot type will be described. FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C are diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. Here, FIG. 3 (b) is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol display 10b performs variable symbol display, and FIG. 3 (c) is a special symbol display. 12 is a jackpot type determination table for determining a jackpot type when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the device 10a.

  When the special symbol display 10b is used to display the variation of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol based on the random number for jackpot determination and the table for jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot, the start prize is further awarded. If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted from time to time is 0, 3, 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1, it is determined as a probabilistic promotion jackpot If it is 9, it is determined that it is suddenly a promising jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined that it is a jackpot.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a, if it is determined that the result of the special symbol variation display is based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table, If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning is 3, 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1, it is determined as a probable promotion jackpot If it is 0 or 9, it is suddenly determined to be a promiscuous jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined to be a jackpot.

  By the way, in the probability variation state, a big hit is made with a probability of 1/30. However, until the new jackpot is generated, the special symbol variation display is executed without restriction on the number of times of execution. In the short time state, the percentage that the variable winning device 15 is in the open state is very high, and the start winning opening 14b for causing the special symbol display 10b to be given priority over the special symbol display 10a to display the variation of the special symbol. Reservation memory due to winning a prize is rarely interrupted. Further, since the time during which the first jackpot gaming state is controlled is very long, there is almost no exception, and the holding storage by winning of the start winning opening 14a until the first jackpot gaming state is ended is also the starting winning opening 14b. All of the hold memories due to winning will be full.

  When the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is 2/5 (= 4/10) in the case of the jackpot, whereas the special symbol indicator 10a is special. When the special symbol variation display is performed on the symbol display 10b, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is ½ (= 5/10) of the jackpot. In other words, once a probability variation jackpot or a probabilistic promotion jackpot occurs, after the first jackpot gaming state based on it ends, the player can acquire more game balls through the first jackpot gaming state. As a result, the ratio of the probability fluctuation state is high.

  Next, determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol will be described. The special symbol variation pattern is the result of the special symbol variation display (whether or not it is a big win, when the start condition is satisfied (that is, when the special symbol and decorative symbol variation display starts) Is determined according to the type of jackpot. Further, when determining the variation pattern, first, the variation pattern type is determined based on the variation type determination random number value among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning, and further the variation pattern determining random number extracted at the time of starting winning The variation pattern is determined based on the value of.

  If it is determined that the variation pattern type is lost, non-reach loss without pseudo-ream, normal reach without pseudo-ream, super reach without pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, pseudo-ream There are 6 types, 3 times in a row. If it is decided that the probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short time jackpot will be normal reach without pseudo-ream, super reach without pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, 3 pseudo-reams, pseudo-ream There are 6 types of 4 times. When it is determined that the sudden probability change is a big hit, it is one type of sudden probability change, but this is basically the same as non-reach loss regarding the variation of the decorative pattern.

  Here, both the normal reach and the super reach are patterns in which a reach display mode in which the left and right decorative symbols that are stopped first and second in the process of the variable display are aligned with the same type of symbols appears. Normal reach is a variation pattern in which the variation display mode of the decorative pattern in the inside is not different from the case of loss (the pattern that is finally stopped is different), and the time required from the start to the end of the variation display is non-reach loss Compared to normal cases, there is no change.

  On the other hand, after reaching the reach display mode, the super reach is an effect display in which the variation display of the decorative pattern that is stopped last is different from the normal display mode (for example, a reach effect such as a battle effect of the character). The time required for the variable display is considerably longer than that of non-reach loss or normal reach. Super reach with probability variation jackpots, probabilistic promotion jackpots, or short-term jackpots includes variation patterns with re-lottery and variation patterns without re-lottery, and the variation pattern type is super based on the random number value for variation type determination. When the reach is determined, it is determined as a specific variation pattern type based on the variation pattern determination random number.

  In addition, the pseudo-ream means that the decorative symbol is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the variation display of the special symbol, but for the variation display of one special symbol (that is, one start winning), After temporarily changing the decorative symbol display in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c (the updating of the symbol is stopped but not confirmed, and may be swayed). This refers to a variation pattern of a decorative pattern in which re-variable display for variably displaying all decorative symbols is executed once or a plurality of times.

  For example, one pseudo-ream is a pattern in which the re-variation display is performed only once for the special symbol variation display for one time (a total of two variation displays are performed before and after the re-variation display). . The pseudo-continuation 4 times is a pattern in which this re-variation display is performed 4 times (a total of 5 variation displays are performed) with respect to the variation display of the special symbol for one time, and the fifth variation display is started. It is a pattern that clearly shows that the probability change jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined at this stage.

  In the variation pattern of the quasi-continuous one time, two times, three times, and four times, there are non-reach loss, normal reach, and super reach as the variation display mode from the last temporary stop of the decorative symbol to the final stop. Regardless of whether it is a final hit or a loss, the reach display mode does not appear in the temporary stop before the final stop, regardless of the number of pseudo-reams. For example, in the normal reach pattern of two pseudo-continuations, the reach display mode is the change display from the start of the change display to the first temporary stop and the change display from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop. Does not appear. The reach display mode appears in the variable display from the second temporary stop to the final stop, and the variable display is performed in the normal reach.

  It should be noted that the variation display mode from the last temporary stop of the decorative pattern in the pseudo-ream once, twice, three times, and four times the variation pattern to the final stop is not determined as the type of variation pattern. When the variation pattern type is determined to be one, two, three or four pseudo-continuations based on the value of the variation type determination random number, the specific variation based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number It is determined as the type of pattern.

  However, when the number of reserved memories becomes 3 or more, the time for executing the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is shortened from the original variation display time of the selected variation pattern (when it becomes 4). 3). In non-reach lose and normal reach, the time when the variable display is executed in the normal case does not change, but in normal reach, the reach display mode appears once and then the result of the variable display is derived. With respect to the shortened variation time, the normal reach loss is longer than the non-reach loss that does not require such a process.

  Further, in the super reach variation pattern, the reach effect after the reach display mode is displayed may be partially omitted, and the result of the variation display of the decorative pattern may be displayed. However, the variation time shortened by the variation pattern of the super reach does not become shorter than the normal reach loss. In the case of a variation pattern of two or more pseudo-continuations, the number of re-variation displays may be reduced.

  Next, the distribution of the variation pattern types when the loss is determined will be described in detail. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a variation pattern type determination table applied when a loss is determined, among the variation pattern type determination tables stored in the ROM 54. When the losing is determined, the type distribution is different according to the number of reserved memories at the start of the special figure game. In the example of FIG. 4, description will be made assuming that the random number for determining the variation type takes a value in the range of 0 to 251.

  As shown in the figure, when the number of pending storages is 2 or less, when the random number value for variation type determination is 0 to 99, non-reach loss, 100 to 229 is normal reach loss, and 230 to 236 is super reach loss, 237 If it is ˜241, it will be quasi-reamed once, and if it is 242-246, it will be quasi-reamed twice, and if it is 247-251, quasi-ream 3 times. On the other hand, when the number of reserved memories is 3 or more, if the random number value for variation type determination is 0 to 199, it is non-reach loss, 200 to 229 is normal reach loss, 230 to 236 is super reach loss, 237 to 241 If it is quasi-continuous 1 time losing, 242 to 246 is pseudo-continuous 2 losing, and 247 to 251 is quasi-continuous 3 losing.

  In other words, the range of random numbers that are assigned to Super Reach Loss, Pseudo-Continuous Loss, Pseudo-Continuous Loss, and Pseudo-Continuous Loss is the same regardless of the number of reserved memories. The range of random numbers assigned to reach lose and normal reach lose depends on the number of reserved memories. However, if the random number for variation type determination is 0 to 99, it is distributed to normal reach loss regardless of the number of reserved memories, and if the random number for variation type determination is 200 to 229, regardless of the number of reserved memories. Sorted into normal reach loses. The range of the variation type determination random number for which the type of variation pattern to be distributed differs according to the number of reserved memories is 100 to 199.

  On the other hand, although not shown, the variation pattern type determination table applied when the probability variation jackpot is determined, the variation pattern type determination table applied when the probability variation promotion jackpot is determined, In the variation pattern type determination table that is applied when the probability is determined, and in the variation pattern type determination table that is applied when the sudden probability change jackpot is determined, the number of reserved memories at the start of the special figure game There is no difference in the sorting of the corresponding types.

  In other words, the range of random numbers assigned to each of normal reach, super reach, pseudo-ream 1 time, pseudo-ream 2 times, pseudo-ream 3 times, and pseudo-ream 4 times is the number of reserved memories at the start of the special game. Regardless. In addition, the ratio assigned to Super Reach is higher than when the loss is decided, and among the cases where the loss is decided, the probability fluctuation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the short-term big hit per the ratio assigned to the normal reach. The probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-term jackpot is determined for the ratio that is assigned to super reach among the cases where the loss is decided, rather than the ratio of the ratio that is assigned to the normal reach when the Sometimes the ratio of the ratios assigned to super reach is higher (this relationship does not change according to the number of reserved memories at the start of the special game). In other words, the reliability of the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot is higher in the super reach than in the normal reach.

  The ratios assigned to each of the quasi-ream 1, quasi-ream 2, and quasi-ream 3 are equal to each other when the loss is determined, but the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined. The pseudo-continuous 2 times are higher than the pseudo-continuous 1 times, and the pseudo-continuous 3 times are higher than the pseudo-continuous 2 times. The quasi-continuous 4 times is a type of variation pattern that is not distributed when a loss is determined. In other words, the reliability of the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the short-term jackpot increases as the number of re-variable displays is increased, and when four re-variable displays are performed, that is, the probability variation jackpot , Probability promotion jackpot, or short-term jackpot will be confirmed.

  When the type of variation pattern is determined, the variation pattern is determined more finely. Here, there is only one variation pattern selected when the variation pattern type is non-reach loss, probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot and normal reach. The variation patterns selected in the case of normal reach lose include a plurality of variation patterns (one frame before, one frame after, two frames after) with different numbers of decorative symbols. The variation patterns selected in the case of super reach lose include a plurality of variation patterns (one frame before, one frame after, and two frames after) with different numbers of decorative symbols.

  There are multiple variation patterns in which each of the quasi-continuous losing, the quasi-continuous losing, and the quasi-continuous losing has different normal reach or super reach losing, and the number of sliding frames when the decorative design is finally stopped. is there. There is a variation pattern of normal reach and super reach for each pseudo-ream, for each pseudo-ream, for two pseudo-reams, and for every four pseudo-reams.

  By the way, there is no difference in the type and type of the variation pattern between the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display 10a and the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display 10b, and the same variation display results are compared. Then, there is no difference in the selection probability of the variation pattern type. However, when the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probable change promotion jackpot is higher and the probability of the sudden probability change jackpot is lower than that of the special symbol display 10b. In consideration of this, the type of variation pattern and the selection of the type differ depending on which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  For example, even when special symbols are variably displayed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the ratio of loss does not change, so there is no pseudo-continuation, one pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, and three pseudo-continuations. The ratio of selection of types (including non-reach and reach) is not changed. On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10a is used for variable display of the special symbol, the probability of sudden probability change is lower than when the special symbol display 10b is used for variable display of the special symbol. The probability of being selected is relatively low. Therefore, when the special symbol display is performed using the special symbol display device 10a, the number of times that the re-variation display is performed is more likely to occur than when the special symbol display device 10b is used to display the special symbol variation display.

  In addition, the special symbol display start condition for the special symbol displays 10a and 10b is that all the variable displays based on the start winning prior to the start winning that causes the variable display to be performed are finished. Established (however, when controlled to the first and second jackpot gaming state, it is established upon completion). Therefore, when a start winning is made in a state where there is no reserved memory, the start condition for the special symbol variation display is immediately established by the start winning.

  On the other hand, in the case where the hold is stored due to the start winning when the variable display based on the previous start winning has not been finished (the specific starting winning is assumed), only one is ahead of the specific starting winning. When the special symbol variation display based on the start prize (pre-start prize) is completed, the start condition for the special symbol variation display based on the specific start prize is established. At this time, after the end of the special symbol variation display based on the pre-start prize, the special symbol variation display based on the specific start prize is started without delay.

  As described above, when the special symbols are variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the decorative symbols are variably displayed on the variable display device 9. The special symbol variation display on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b is started immediately when the start condition is satisfied, but the decorative symbol variation display on the variable display device 9 is started immediately upon the start condition being satisfied. Instead, the operation is started after a certain delay time has elapsed since the start condition was satisfied. The special symbol variation display is executed until the variation display time determined in accordance with the variation pattern selected after the start condition is satisfied.

  By the way, the player expects that it will eventually become a probabilistic variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot depending on the result of the variation display of the decorative symbols, which is a considerable amount of the variation display being executed. Since it is not known unless it becomes the last one, first of all, it is expected that a reach display mode will appear as a premise. This is because if at least the reach display mode appears, the reliability of the probability change promotion jackpot or the time-saving jackpot is higher than when the reach display mode does not appear.

  Here, the decorative symbols that are variably displayed on the variable display device 9 stop in the order of left, right, and middle, but if the left and right decorative symbols are stopped, the same type of decorative symbols are available, This means that the reach display mode has appeared. However, the appearance of a highly reliable reach display mode that is a probable promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot will not be recognized by the player until both the left and right decorative designs have actually stopped.

  Even if the player does not know whether the reach display mode will appear until both the left and right decorative designs have actually stopped, It does not mean that the probability change jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot will not be expected. In addition, even if the reach display mode appears, the possibility of a probability variation jackpot is also expected, so the player's expectation is also directed to what kind of decorative pattern the reach display mode appears.

  Also, the fact that the reach display mode does not appear when the left and right decorative symbols stop (including temporary stop) does not mean that the player cannot expect anything. In addition, after the decorative symbol in the middle is also stopped, it may be a pseudo-continuous variation pattern in which all symbols are variably displayed again. In that case, the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot Because there is also. In addition, even if the decorative pattern in the middle is stopped and the display mode of losing is confirmed, there is a case where it is suddenly a probable big hit.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, after the decorative symbol change display is started, the type of the decorative symbol to be stopped before any decorative symbol has been stopped (including temporary stop). We are going to give notice. In the pseudo-ream fluctuation pattern, the type of symbol temporarily stopped at the first time is notified in advance. The stop symbol notice includes a left decorative symbol (temporarily) stopped in the decorative symbol display region 9a and a right decorative symbol (provisionally) stopped in the decorative symbol display region 9c (in some cases, the decorative symbol display region 9b). The decorative designs that are being stopped in time will also be announced in time.

  In the stop symbol advance notice, the decorative symbol display areas 9a, 9b, and 9c are (provisionally) stopped in the decorative symbol display areas 9a, 9c, and the temporary symbol is stopped in the decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c. In some cases, a decorative pattern of a different type from the decorative pattern to be displayed is notified. In the case where a decorative pattern of the same type as the decorative pattern that will be stopped when executing the variable display in the variable pattern in which the reach display mode appears, the decorative pattern to be notified also constitutes the reach display mode. Become. Even if a decorative pattern of a different type from the decorative pattern that will be stopped when executing variable display with a variable pattern that does not appear reach display mode, the decorative pattern to be notified constitutes the reach display mode There is nothing to do. Details of the determination of the stop symbol notice will be described later.

  Further, as described above, when the first, second, or fourth specific display result is derived to the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, that is, when the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time-short jackpot occurs, the first jackpot Although it is controlled by the gaming state, even if a start prize that causes this probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot is generated, a special design (decorative pattern) is also based on the previous start prize There may be a variable display. In this case, the right to perform the variable display based on the start winning is stored, but the fact that it is stored is displayed on the special symbol storage display unit 11a, 11b and is notified to the player. Become.

  However, even if the display of hold memory is displayed while the display of the decorative symbol based on the previous start prize is being displayed, a random number that is suddenly likely to be a big change may be included. I can't know. In addition, there may be a random number that will be displayed in a variation pattern of pseudo-sequential variation patterns, but the variation pattern of the variation display of the decorative design based on the previous start prize is for the later start prize Is selected regardless of the pending storage. Therefore, even if the variation pattern of the decorative symbol variation display based on the previous start prize is considered, the random display will be executed in the pseudo-variable variation pattern in the reserved memory. The player cannot know that is included.

  However, the player does not know whether it will suddenly become a probable big hit or a pseudo-ream in the variation display made based on the starting winning prize due to the variation pattern of the variation display of the decorative design. I don't expect it. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, in order to increase the player's sense of expectation, the fluctuations that will be performed after the next by the hold memory even while the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner. A pre-reading stop symbol notice is given to notify that there is a possibility that the display will suddenly become a probable big change or a pseudo-variable variation pattern.

  The pre-reading stop notice is determined based on the determination result by determining whether there is a variation display that suddenly becomes a probable big hit or a variation display that is executed in a pseudo-variable variation pattern during hold storage at the beginning of the variation. However, in the variable display in which the stop symbol notice is executed, the prefetch stop symbol notice is not executed. The stop symbol notice is performed by simultaneously notifying the left decorative symbol to be (tentatively) stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9a and the right decorative symbol to be (temporarily) stopped in the decorative symbol display region 9c. ing.

  Even if there is a fluctuation display that suddenly becomes a probable big hit during pending storage, or a fluctuation display that is executed with a fluctuating fluctuation pattern, the type of decorative symbols that are stopped in these fluctuation displays is a fluctuation that performs a pre-read stop notice notice It is not decided by the display. Therefore, the type of the decorative symbol that is notified in advance in the pre-reading stop symbol notice is determined according to the type of decorative symbol that is to be stopped in the variable display in which the pre-reading stop symbol notice is executed. Whether the decorative symbol on the right and the decorative symbol on the right is notified in advance or at the same time is discriminated whether the symbol is a stop symbol or a pre-read stop symbol. Details of the determination of the prefetch stop symbol notice will also be described later.

  In addition, the occurrence of probability variation jackpots, probability change jackpots, or short-term jackpots is ultimately determined by the type of decorative pattern that will eventually be stopped, but the reliability of probability variation jackpots, probability variation jackpots, or short-term jackpots is It varies depending on the variation pattern in which the decorative symbol variation display is performed. In the pseudo-ream variation pattern, the greater the number of re-variable displays, the higher the reliability, and the player expects the occurrence of pseudo-ream (execution of re-variable display). For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, it is possible to execute the re-variation display in the pseudo pattern (pseudo series 1, pseudo series 2, pseudo series 3 or pseudo series 4). The pseudo-continuous notice to be notified is executed.

  The quasi-continuous notice is an effect of notifying that the decorative symbol will be displayed again after the decorative symbol has been temporarily stopped. There is a pseudo notice after it is executed when it stops. In the case of two to four pseudo-continuations, not only the first temporary stop but also the decorative pattern is displayed again and again after each temporary stop for each variation display included in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern. It will be noticed. Here, the pseudo continuous notice mode will be described first, and the determination of the pseudo continuous notice to be executed will be described later.

  The first pseudo-announcement is a pseudo-annual notice that is executed by turning on the decoration lamps 25a to 25c or driving the accessory 26 during the variation display before the decorative symbol temporarily stops in the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream. It is. The pre-pseudo notice includes an early execution timing and a late execution timing. For example, the pseudo-preliminary notice that the execution timing is early is, for example, the timing at which the display of the decorative pattern starts to change (or the display of the change after temporary stop) or the display of the post-temporary stop is still temporarily stopped. (The preliminary pseudo-notice that is started while the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped will be further noticed that the variable display will be executed after the next temporary stop). The late first preliminary notice is started, for example, after a certain period of time has elapsed since the display of the decorative pattern (after the temporary stop) is started.

  In addition, the preliminary simulation notice is executed by driving the accessory 26 in addition to the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, the one executed only by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, Some are performed only by driving the object 26. For each of these, there are an early execution timing and a late execution timing, and there are six types of pre-pseudo notices according to the difference between the execution means for executing the pre-pseudo notice and the execution timing. Furthermore, there will be more types of prior notice in accordance with the difference in the production mode.

  Further, in the prior pseudo notice (including those used in combination with the driving of the accessory 26) executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, the number of executions of the re-variable display in the pseudo ream (the re-variable display to be executed next is also performed). The number of executions is included, but if one time is subtracted from here, the number of executions of re-variable display will not be changed). This number of executions is not notified directly, but is notified according to the difference in lighting among the decorative lamps 25a to 25c. For example, when notifying the first re-change display, the notification is made only by lighting the decorative lamp 25a, but the second time is notified by lighting the two decorative lamps 25a and 25b, and the second time the two decorative lamps 25b, The notification is made by turning on 25c, and the fourth time is notified by turning on all the decorative lamps 25a to 25c.

  However, in the preliminary pseudo-notice that is executed when the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, one of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c that is turned on may be different from the actual number of re-variable display executions. As shown in detail later, the previous pseudo-announcement that is different from the original number of re-variable displays is likely to be followed by a new re-variable display after the re-variable display announced in the previous pseudo-announcement. It shows that it becomes.

  On the other hand, the post-pseudo-notice is a variable display device that displays a specific character (hereinafter referred to as a specific character) that cannot appear except in such a temporary stop when a decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern. By displaying in 9, after all the temporarily stopped symbols are variably displayed again, a notice that re-variable display including temporary stop and variably displayed decorative symbols will be executed is performed. Since all the symbols are displayed again and again after the fourth temporary stop, the decorative symbols are not temporarily stopped again, so the post-pseudo advance notice is executed until the third temporary stop.

  The post-pseudo notice is included and executed in the process of displaying the decorative symbols, but is not determined on the main board 31 side, but on the display control board 80 side in accordance with the pseudo-variable display pattern. To decide. In addition, there are two types of specific characters, the specific character A and the specific character B, displayed in the post-pseudo advance notice, and any of the specific characters is displayed in the post-pseudo notice.

  In addition, the stop symbol notice described above is not necessarily performed if the reach display mode is to appear, but the stop symbol notice when the reach display mode is to appear is not necessarily performed. Since not all the decorative symbols constituting the reach display mode are notified, the player expects the reach display mode to appear regardless of whether or not the stop symbol notice is executed. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, a reach notice effect for notifying that the reach display mode appears in the variation display of the decorative symbols is also executed.

  The reach notice effect is a notice indicating that there is a possibility that a reach display mode may appear in the variation display of decorative symbols. In the variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears, the reach notice effect is performed while the variation display before the reach display mode appears, and in the variation pattern in which the reach display mode does not appear, the reach display mode appears. The reach notice effect is performed while the change display is performed while the possibility remains. In the quasi-continuous variation pattern, a reach notice effect may be performed between each variation display from the temporary start of the decorative symbol to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the temporary stop, and from the temporary stop to the final stop.

  The reach notice effect is a notice that indicates the possibility that the reach display mode appears, but if the reach display mode appears, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot may be reached. If no appears, the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot and the hourly jackpot will not be. Accordingly, it can be said that the reach notice effect is an effect indicating the possibility of a probability variation jackpot, a probability change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  There are various types of effects in the reach notice effect executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment. Among them, any one of the first to third stages is included. A step-up effect in which the effect changes step by step is included. For step-up effects, only the first stage is executed and finished (step-up effect 1), the first stage and the second stage are executed in sequence (step-up effect 2), and the first stage is finished. There is one (step-up effect 3) that is executed by sequentially executing from the stage to the third stage. Step-up effect 3 is an effect that is executed only when the reach display mode appears in the variable display. In addition, there are production A and production B as reach notice productions other than the step-up production. The determination of the reach notice effect to be executed will be described later.

  The display control CPU of the display control board 80 determines whether or not to execute a stop symbol advance notice (prefetch stop stop symbol advance notice) when a decorative symbol variation display is performed, and which type of decorative symbol is notified in advance. Is to be determined. Further, the display control CPU of the display control board 80 determines all effects executed in the variable display device 9 in addition to the decorative symbol variation display such as pseudo-continuous notice and reach notice effect. Further, with regard to decorative pattern variation display, the types of decorative symbols to be specifically displayed are subject to the determination of jackpot, determination of jackpot type, and determination of variation pattern performed by the CPU 56 of the main board 31. The display control CPU of the display control board 80 is determined.

  In order to enable the display control CPU of the display control board 80 to make these decisions, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 14a or 14b, the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot type determination extracted at this time A start in which a random number, a random number for variation type determination (may further include a random value for variation pattern determination), and the type of the start winning opening where the game ball has been won are associated with identification information for each start win A winning command is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  Also, when the special symbol display 10a or 10b is started to display the variation of the special symbol, the identification information of the start winning prize that has started this, whether or not to make a big hit, the type of the big hit, and the determined variation pattern Is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. Further, when the game state changes, a game state command indicating the changed game state is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In addition, when the first specific display result, the second specific display result, or the fourth specific display result is derived on the special symbol display 10a or 10b and controlled to the first big hit gaming state, each round is started. A jackpot round command indicating the number of rounds is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. At the end of each round, a round end command indicating the end of the round is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  Further, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, if the data at the previous power-off is not cleared and stored in the RAM 55, the state at the time of power-off (the stored storage of the start winning ports 14a and 14b is stored). If the RAM 55 has been cleared from the initial state (the number of the reserved winning openings 14a and 14b is 0), the game progress is started. A startup command including information related to the on-hold storage of the start winning ports 14a and 14b and information indicating the gaming state is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. .

  The display control CPU of the display control board 80 stores the reserved memory when the start winning command is received with respect to the number of reserved memories of the start winning ports 14a and 14b indicated by the information regarding the reserved memory indicated by the startup command. By incrementing the number and subtracting the number of reserved memories when a start command is received, the number of reserved memories in the start winning ports 14a and 14b can be grasped in real time.

  Hereinafter, in the pachinko gaming machine according to this embodiment, the control of effects executed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80 will be described. When receiving the start command, the display control CPU of the display control board 80 selects the type of decorative design as described below, and the variable display device 9 displays the decorative design in a variable pattern indicated by the start command. Then, the selected type of decorative design is displayed on the variable display device 9 to show the result of the variable display.

  The detailed variation pattern of the decorative symbol variation display is determined only when the variation display is started. Also, the type of the fluctuation pattern is determined according to the number of reserved memories when the fluctuation display is started at the time of losing. However, the range of the variation type determination random number for which the variation pattern type is determined to be one pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, three pseudo-continuous, and four pseudo-continuous, the variation display result is a probability variation jackpot, Whether or not the probable change promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot wins, it does not change regardless of the number of reserved memories when the variable display is started.

  The display control CPU of the display control board 80 receives a start winning command when a game ball wins the start winning opening 14a, 14b. This start winning command is a jackpot determining random number, jackpot type determining It shows the values of random numbers and random numbers for variation type determination. Therefore, if this start winning command is analyzed, it can be determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, the time-shortage jackpot, or the sudden probability variation jackpot. Furthermore, although the detailed variation pattern in the variation display corresponding to the start winning command cannot be determined, the variation pattern belonging to the type of at least one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series, and four pseudo-series It can be judged only whether or not.

  Next, selection of a decorative design to be stopped will be described. As described above, the types of decorative symbols specifically displayed in the decorative symbol variation display are subject to the determination of jackpot determination, jackpot type determination, and variation pattern determination performed by the CPU 56 of the main board 31. The display control CPU of the display control board 80 is determined. For example, when the probability variation jackpot is determined, all three decorative symbols that are finally stopped are the same symbol of “1” or “7”, and when the probability variation promotion jackpot or the short-time jackpot is determined, All three decorative symbols that are finally stopped are the same symbols other than “1” or “7”.

  In the probable promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot, the symbol to be finally stopped must be the same symbol other than “1” or “7”, so the reach display mode displayed on that assumption is also “1” or “7” It becomes a mode in which two identical symbols other than are stopped. Even if there is a re-lottery in Super Reach, it cannot be demoted there. Therefore, in order to make the symbol to be finally stopped the same symbol other than “1” or “7”, the reach display mode is also “1” or “ This is because two identical symbols other than “7” must be stopped.

  In the probability variation jackpot, the symbol to be finally stopped must be the same symbol of “1” or “7”, so in order to display the probability variation jackpot symbol in the normal reach variation pattern without re-lottery, The reach display mode displayed on the premise must also be a mode in which two identical symbols of “1” or “7” are stopped. On the other hand, in the super-reach with re-lottery, the same design other than “1” or “7” can be once aligned and then changed to the mode in which the same design of “1” or “7” is aligned. The display mode may be a mode in which two identical symbols other than “1” or “7” are stopped.

  In the case of normal reach loss and super reach loss (including the case of normal reach loss and super reach loss after the last temporary stop in the pseudo-ream), the same design is selected for the left and right decorative symbols (whichever Can be selected evenly, or the selection ratio of specific symbols such as “1” and “7” may be changed.) For the inside, this is determined according to the number of sliding frames in the selected variation pattern. A different design is selected. In non-reach loss and sudden probability variation jackpots, different symbols are selected for the left, middle, and right.

  In addition, in the case of a pseudo-continuous variation pattern, the decorative design at the time of temporary stop is also selected, but in this case, the same design as that of the losing appearance, that is, a different design for the left, middle, and right is selected. The

  Next, the determination of the stop symbol notice will be described. The determination of the stop symbol notice is performed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80 prior to the determination of the prefetch stop symbol notice when the decorative symbol variation display is started (that is, when the start command is received). Done. FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating a stop symbol advance determination table for determining whether or not to execute a stop symbol advance and determining the type of decorative symbol to be notified. For the fluctuating pattern of quasi-continuations, the stop symbol notice is determined for the decorative symbol that is temporarily stopped first.

  As shown in the figure, the stop symbol notice shows that the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display to be started (that is, the fluctuation pattern indicated by the start command) has no pseudo-ream (regardless of whether it is a loss or a big hit, and whether it is normal or super) Or pseudo-ream (whether it ’s lost or jackpoted, regardless of how it fluctuates after the last temporary stop), or suddenly probable (even if it does n’t look like it ’s lost, it ’s suddenly a promising jackpot) It is determined according to the classification of whether there is a variation pattern of loss or not.

  The types of determination of the stop symbol notice are that the stop symbol notice is not executed, the same type of ornament symbol that is actually stopped for the left and right ornament symbols, and the left and right ornament symbols are noticed. In contrast, a different type of decorative pattern that is actually stopped is notified in advance, and in addition to the left and right decorative patterns, the same type of decorative pattern that is actually stopped is notified in addition to the decorative pattern in the middle There are four types, and the selection ratio is different for each of the above categories.

  In the case of a reach without pseudo-ream, stop symbol notice is not executed, and the left and right ornament symbols are notified of the same type of ornament symbols that are actually stopped (reach display mode appears) The ratio of A0, B0, and C0 (A0 + B0 + C0 = 1) is to notify the left and right decorative symbols of different types from the decorative symbols that are actually stopped, respectively. Determined by A0 and C0 are values close to 0, and it is rare that the stop symbol notice is not executed or the reach display mode does not appear even though it is a reach without pseudo-ream. In addition to the left and right decorative symbols, it is not determined to notify the same type of decorative symbols that are actually stopped for the central decorative symbol.

  If it is a quasi-ream, do not execute the stop symbol advance notice, notify the left and right ornament symbols of the same type of ornament symbols that are actually stopped (reach display mode will not appear) Notice that the left and right decorative symbols are of a different type than the decorative symbols that are actually stopped (however, the reach display mode will not be notified), and the left and right decorative symbols In addition, it is determined at the ratio of A1, B1, C1, and D1 (A1 + B1 + C1 + D1 = 1) that the same type of decorative design that is actually stopped is notified to the decorative design in the middle.

  If it is suddenly abrupt, stop symbol notification is not executed, and the left and right decorative symbols are notified of the same type of decorative symbols that are actually stopped (reach display mode does not appear) Notice that the left and right decorative symbols are of a different type than the decorative symbols that are actually stopped (however, the reach display mode will not be notified), and the left and right decorative symbols In addition, it is determined at a ratio of A2, B2, C2, and D2 (A2 + B2 + C2 + D2 = 1) that the same type as the decorative pattern that is actually stopped is notified to the decorative pattern in the middle.

  If the pattern is a variation pattern other than that, do not execute the stop symbol advance notice, and notify the left and right ornament symbols of the same type as the ornament symbols that are actually stopped (reach display mode) Notice that the left and right decorative patterns are different from the decorative patterns that are actually stopped (however, the reach display mode will not be notified), It is determined by the ratio of A3, B3, C3 (A3 + B3 + C3 = 1). In addition to the left and right decorative symbols, it is not determined to notify the same type of decorative symbols that are actually stopped for the central decorative symbol.

  Here, A3> A1, B1> B3, and C1> C3, and the relationship of A1 / (A1 + A2 + A3) <B1 / (B1 + B2 + B3) <C1 / (C1 + C2 + C3) holds. The probability that a stop symbol notice (notifying that the decorative symbol will be stopped in a mode other than the reach display mode) will be executed when becoming a pseudo-ream is the probability of executing a stop symbol notice (other than the reach display mode) Is higher than the probability that the decorative symbol will be executed). In addition, when the reach display mode does not appear when the left and right decorative symbols are stopped, the reliability that becomes a pseudo-ream is the decorative symbol that is actually stopped compared to when the stop symbol notification is not executed. Is higher when the same type is forewarned, and higher when a type different from the actually stopped decorative symbol is foretold.

  Further, A3> A2, B2> B3, and C2> C3 are satisfied, and a relationship of A2 / (A1 + A2 + A3) <B2 / (B1 + B2 + B3) <C2 / (C1 + C2 + C3) is established. The probability that a stop symbol notice (notifying that the decorative symbol will be stopped in a mode other than the reach display mode) will be executed when the sudden probability big win is reached is the probability that the stop symbol notice (reach display mode will be used). It is higher than the probability that the decorative design will be stopped in other cases. If the reach display mode does not appear at the stage when the left and right decorative symbols are stopped, the reliability that is suddenly a probable big hit is the decorative symbol actually stopped compared to when the stop symbol notice was not executed. It is higher when the same type has been foretold, and even higher when a type different from the actually stopped decorative symbol has been foretold.

  It should be noted that A0 and C0 are values close to 0, and there is almost no notice that the stop symbol notice is not executed or the reach display mode does not appear even though the reach is not a pseudo-ream. When ignoring such cases, at the stage where both the left and right decorative symbols have not yet stopped, or at the stage where the left decorative symbol has stopped but the right decorative symbol has not yet stopped. Even if there is at least a stop symbol advance notice, the reliability of becoming a pseudo-ream or suddenly probable big hit is higher than when the stop symbol advance notice is not executed.

  Furthermore, in addition to the left and right decorative patterns, the same type of decorative pattern that is actually stopped for the decorative pattern in the middle is only noticeable when it is a pseudo-ream or suddenly probable jackpot. Since it cannot be determined, when the stop symbol notice is given to the inside decorative symbol, the pseudo-ream or sudden probability change jackpot is confirmed.

  Next, the determination of the stop symbol notice will be described. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a prefetch stop symbol advance notice determination table for determining whether to execute the prefetch stop symbol advance and determining the type of decorative symbol to be notified. Note that the determination of the prefetch stop symbol advance notice is performed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80 following the determination of the stop symbol advance notice in the variable display in which it is determined not to execute the stop symbol advance notice.

  As shown in the figure, the prefetch stop symbol advance notice includes a pseudo-continuous fluctuation pattern in the hold memory, a sudden sudden change in the hold memory, or a pseudo-change in the hold memory. It is determined according to the classification of whether there is a series of fluctuation patterns or sudden sudden change jackpots. The type of determination of the pre-reading stop notice is that the pre-reading stop notice is not executed, the left and right decorations are notified in advance of the same type as the decorations that are actually stopped in this variable display, There are three types of notifications for the left and right decorative symbols that are different from the decorative symbols that are actually stopped by the current variation display, and the selection ratios differ for the above categories. .

  Do not execute pre-read stop symbol notice when there is a pseudo-variable variation pattern in the hold memory, and the ornament that is actually stopped with the current variation display for the left and right ornament symbols E1, E2, E3 (notifying the same type as the symbol, and notifying the left and right decorative symbols of different types from the decorative symbols that are actually stopped by the current variation display, respectively. E1 + E2 + E3 = 1).

  If there is something that suddenly becomes a probable big hit in the stored memory, do not execute the look-ahead stop symbol notice, and the decorative symbol that is actually stopped with the current variation display for the left and right decorative symbols Predicting the same type, and notifying the left and right decorative symbols of different types from the decorative symbols that are actually stopped by the current variation display, F1, F2, F3 (F1 + F2 + F3 = It is determined by the ratio of 1).

  If there is no pseudo-ream fluctuation pattern or sudden probability change jackpot during hold memory, do not execute the pre-read stop symbol notice, and the current fluctuation display for the left and right decorative symbols The same type as the decorative pattern that is actually stopped in, and the left and right decorative symbols may be notified in advance of a different type from the decorative pattern that is actually stopped by this variation display, Each is determined by the ratio of G1, G2, G3 (G1 + G2 + G3 = 1).

  Here, there is a relationship of E1 / (E1 + E2 + E3) <F1 / (F1 + F2 + F3) <G1 / (G1 + G2 + G3), and the reliability that a pseudo-continuous variation pattern is included in the pending storage is prefetch stop It was higher when the same type of ornamental design that was actually stopped was noticed than when it was not executed, and a different type of ornamental design was actually foretold The time is even higher.

  In addition, there is a relationship of E2 / (E1 + E2 + E3) <F2 / (F1 + F2 + F3) <G2 / (G1 + G2 + G3). It is higher when the same type of ornamental design that was actually stopped is foretold than when it was not executed, and when a different type of ornamental design was actually foretold Is even higher.

  Furthermore, since up to four start prizes for the start prize openings 14a and 14b are each stored on hold, it is already held when there is a start prize that has a pseudo-variable variation pattern or a sudden probability big hit. Depending on the number of start prizes that were memorized, the rate of determination when there was a continuous fluctuation display of multiple times, and when there was a pseudo-variable fluctuation pattern or a sudden probability change big hit in the hold memory A pre-read stop notice may be made. Therefore, when the prefetch stop symbol advance notice is continuously performed with a plurality of fluctuation displays, the reliability that the pseudo-ream fluctuation pattern or the sudden probability change big hit is included in the hold memory is, It will be very expensive.

  It should be noted that the type of decorative symbol to be notified in the pre-reading stop symbol notice is not based on the type of decorative symbol that will be stopped by the variable display included in the hold memory, but to be stopped at the current variable display. The type of decorative design to be determined is determined when the variable display starts when the type of decorative design that will be stopped by the variable display included in the hold memory is finally determined. Therefore, at the stage of executing the prefetch stop symbol advance notice, the type of the decorative symbol that will be stopped by the variable display included in the hold storage is not yet known.

  Next, determination of the pseudo continuous notice to be executed (including no pseudo continuous notice) will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing various tables for determining the pseudo continuous notice to be executed. When determining the pseudo-continuous notice to be executed when the pseudo-series 1 time, the pseudo-series 2 times, the pseudo-series 3 times, or the pseudo-series 4 times is selected as the type of the variation pattern, the first random number is extracted. Referring to the table shown in FIG. 6A in accordance with the extracted first random number, first, there is no pseudo continuous notice, the first pseudo notice is executed, the second pseudo notice is executed, or both the first pseudo notice and the second pseudo notice are given. Is determined to be executed.

  This determination is determined when starting the decorative display of the decorative symbol. For example, when the pseudo-prediction is determined twice in the pseudo-continuous sequence, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped twice. A pseudo notice (display of a specific character) is performed. In order to simplify the explanation, here, there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execution of prior pseudo-notice, and post-pseudo notice in any one of the pseudo-series, the pseudo-series 2, the pseudo-series 3 times, or the pseudo-series 4 times. Or the execution probability of both the first pseudo-announcement and the second pseudo-announcement are the same (however, depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined) However, the selection probabilities may be different in one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series, or four pseudo-series.

  In addition, the probability of selecting whether to execute pseudo-preliminary notice, post-pseudo-notice, execute pre-pseudo notice, or execute both is determined to be one of probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-term jackpot Depending on whether or not. In other words, the selection probabilities for selecting whether to execute the post-pseudo advance notice, execute the pre-pseudo notice, or execute both are α1, α2 when the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is not determined, respectively. , Α3, α4, and when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined, β1, β2, β3, and β4, respectively. The selection probabilities α4 and β4 for executing both are considerably higher than the selection probabilities α1 and β1 without pseudo-announcement, the selection probabilities α2 and β2 for executing post-pseudo-notice, and the selection probabilities α3 and β3 for executing pre-pseudo-notice. The number is low.

  Here, the selection probability β2 of the post-pseudo-notice when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined is slightly lower than α2. The selection probability β3 for executing the prior pseudo notice and the selection probability β4 for executing both are higher than the selection probabilities α3 and α4 when neither is determined, and the selection probability β4 for executing both is α4. Is much higher than. β4 is only slightly higher than α4. Accordingly, the selection probability β1 without pseudo-announcement is significantly lower than α1. There is a magnitude relationship of α1 >> β1, α2> β2, α3 <β3, α4 << β4. From this, a relationship of β1 / α1 <β2 / α2 <β3 / α3 <β4 / α4 occurs.

  In the case of a loss calculated in consideration of the jackpot probability or the reach probability, the selection probability of performing both the pseudo-prediction notice, the post-pseudo notice, and the pre-pseudo notice, and the probability change jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot among the jackpots If the probability of Y is Y (Y is 9/10 or 8/10), both pseudo-predictive notice, post-pseudo notice, and pre-pseudo notice are executed in the case of probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-term jackpot When the calculation is considered in consideration of the selection probability, the pseudo-announcement is not executed, the post-pseudo-notice is executed, the pre-pseudo-notification is executed, and both are probabilistic change jackpots, probable change promotion jackpots, or short-term jackpots The reliability is different (the aspect described later has higher reliability).

  Since the probability of the reach display appearance is increased by determining whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined, there is no execution of the pseudo-announcement, the execution of the first pseudo notice, the second pseudo notice Depending on the execution and the difference in execution, the reliability with which the reach display mode appears also differs. In addition, if any one of probability fluctuation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot is determined, it is easy to select the variation pattern of the pseudo-reams with a large number of times. Depending on the execution of the post-pseudo notice and the difference in execution of both, the reliability with which the re-variable display in the pseudo-continuation continues will be different.

  In addition, the execution probability of the post-pseudo advance notice (including the case where it is executed with the pre-pseudo notice), that is, the probability that the specific character is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped is either a probability change big hit, a probability change big hit or a short-term big hit Depending on whether or not is determined, the specific character is not displayed for the probability that the display result will be lost (lost or sudden big hit) without displaying the specific character in the variation display of the decorative pattern. The ratio of the probability of becoming a (probability change jackpot, probable change promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot) is different from the ratio of the probability that the specific character is displayed and the jackpot with respect to the probability that the specific character is displayed and loses .

  However, the execution probability of the post-pseudo-notice is set to the above ratio depending on whether the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined. The ratio of the probability that the specific character is not displayed and the reach display mode does not appear but the probability that the reach display mode appears is the ratio of the probability that the specific character is displayed but the reach display mode does not appear Thus, the ratio of the probability that the reach display mode appears is also different.

  Further, the ratio of the probability that the re-variable display is executed M times and the specific character is displayed with respect to the probability that the re-variable display is executed only M times and the specific character is not displayed in the decorative pattern change display is N times (N It is also different from the ratio of the probability that the re-variation display is executed N times and the specific character is displayed with respect to the probability that the re-variation display is executed and the specific character is not displayed only by> M).

  In addition, the ratio of executing the pseudo-predictive notice when the pseudo-predictive notice is executed (that is, when a specific character is displayed) when the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly / temporary jackpot is determined. Is α4 / (α2 + α4), and the rate at which the pre-pseudo notice is executed when the post-pseudo notice is not executed (that is, the specific character is not displayed) is α3 / (α1 + α3). In addition, when the post-preliminary notice is executed (ie, a specific character is displayed) when the loss is determined, the rate at which the pre-false notice is also executed is β4 / (β2 + β4). The rate at which the pre-pseudo notice is executed when the post-pseudo notice is not executed (that is, the specific character is not displayed) is β3 / (β1 + β3).

  Here, since α4 and β4 are considerably lower values than α1, α2, α3, β1, β2, and β3, α4 / (α2 + α4) <α3 / (α1 + α3), β4 / (β2 + β4) <β3 The relationship / (β1 + β3) is generated. In other words, regardless of whether or not the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly / temporary jackpot, the rate at which the first pseudo notice is also executed when the specific character is displayed is the first rate when the specific character is not displayed. It is lower than the rate at which the pseudo notice is executed.

  When the following pseudo-notice is executed, the preceding pseudo-notice is executed, or both are executed, the mode of the pseudo continuous notice to be executed (pre-pseudo notice and / or post-pseudo notice) It is determined when the variable display is started for each unit from the first temporary stop until the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the next temporary stop, and each variable display from the temporary stop to the final stop. It has become a thing.

  When it is determined to execute the first pseudo notice (including the case where it is determined to be executed together with the second pseudo notice), the second random number is extracted, and the second random number is extracted according to the extracted second random number. ) With reference to the table shown in FIG. The selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notice differs depending on whether the notice of the first re-variable display, the second or third re-variable display notice, and the fourth re-variable display notice In addition, it differs depending on whether the re-variable display is executed after that or whether the display result is derived without executing the re-variable display.

  When it is decided to execute the pre-pseudo notice (including the case where it is decided to execute with the pre-pseudo notice), the third random number is extracted and the execution timing of the pre-pseudo notice is determined. It is supposed to be. Although a table for determining the execution timing of the first pseudo-notice is not particularly illustrated, the selection probability of the execution timing of the first pseudo-notice for the second to fourth re-variable display is the subsequent re-variable display executed. Or, it depends on whether the display result is derived without executing the re-variable display. For example, the ratio for selecting the late execution timing is higher when the re-variable display is executed after that than when the re-variable display is not executed again, but in either case, the early timing is selected. The ratio is higher than the ratio for selecting a later timing.

  In the first notice of re-variation display (the change pattern of special symbols is presumed to be pseudo-continuous, there is no pre-preliminary notice when re-variation display is not executed), no execution, only accessory, only decoration lamp Any mode of the accessory + decorative lamp is selected at a ratio of a1, a2, a3, a4, respectively. Since it is a notice of the first re-change display, only the decoration lamp 25a among the decoration lamps 25a to 25c is turned on in the form of the accessory + decoration lamp only.

  Also, it is only in the case of the first notice of re-variable display that no execution, that is, restricting the execution of the first pseudo notice is selected. If no execution is selected as the notice of the first re-variable display in the case of one pseudo-continuation, the prior notice is not executed at all until the final result is derived. In the case of 2 to 4 times in a row, even if no execution is selected as a notice of the first revariable display, the notice of the second to fourth revariable display is performed.

  In the notice of the second or third re-change display, only the accessory, decoration lamp only (± 0), decoration lamp only (-1), decoration lamp only (+1), accessory + decoration lamp (± 0), Any mode of an accessory + decorative lamp (−1) and an accessory + decorative lamp (+1) is selected. Here, “± 0”, “−1”, “+1” in only the decorative lamp and in the accessory + decorative lamp are the revariable display up to that point when it is assumed that the revariable display is performed after that. This indicates that the number of executions is 1 less than the actual number of executions and 1 more than the actual number of executions, as the actual number of executions. For example, when the decorative lamp (± 0) is selected as a notice of the second re-variable display, the decorative lamps 25a and 25b are turned on. When the decorative lamp (+1) is selected, the decorative lamps 25a and 25c are turned on. Lights up.

  In addition, the selection probability of each mode is b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, respectively, and then revariates when the display result is derived without performing revariable display thereafter. When the display is executed, they are c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, and c7, respectively. Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, there is a relationship of b1> c1 (= b1− (b5 + b6 + b7)), b2 = c2, b3 = c3, b4 = c4, b5 <c5, b6 <c6, b7 <c7. . That is, when the pre-preliminary notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26, the probability that the subsequent change display is executed is relatively low, while the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26 are turned on. When the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed by driving, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that becomes relatively high.

  Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, b2 / (b2 + b3 + b4)> c2 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b3 / (b2 + b3 + b4) <c3 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b4 / (b2 + b3 + b4) <c4 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b5 There is also a relationship of (b5 + b6 + b7)> c5 / (c5 + c6 + c7), b6 / (b5 + b6 + b7) <c6 / (c5 + c6 + c7), b7 / (b5 + b6 + b7) <c7 / (c5 + c6 + c7). That is, when the number of times different from the actual number of variable displays is notified by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c in the previous pseudo-notice, the probability that the re-variable display will be executed after that is relatively high.

  In the notice of the fourth re-change display, only the accessory, decoration lamp only (± 0), decoration lamp only (-1), accessory + decoration lamp (± 0), accessory + decoration lamp (-1) Either aspect is selected. In the case of only the decorative lamp (± 0) and in the accessory + decorative lamp (± 0), all of the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are lit, but only in the decorative lamp (−1) and in the accessory + decorative lamp (−1). The decorative lamps 25a and 25c are turned on so that the number of times is one less than the actual number. In addition, the selection probability of each mode is d1, d2, d3, d4, and d5, respectively, and then the re-variable display is performed when the display result is derived without performing the re-variable display thereafter. Are e1, e2, e3, e4, and e5, respectively.

  Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, there is a relationship of d1> e1 (= d1− (e4 + e5)), d2 = e2, d3 = e3, d4 <e4, and d5 <e5. That is, when the pre-preliminary notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26, the probability that the subsequent change display is executed is relatively low, while the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26 are turned on. When the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed by driving, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that becomes relatively high.

  Also, d2 / (d2 + d3)> e2 / (e2 + e3), d3 / (d2 + d3) <e3 / (e2 + e3), d4 / (d4 + d5)> e4 / (e4 + e5), d5 / (d4 + d5) <e5 / (e4 + e5). There is also a relationship, and when the number of times different from the actual number of variable displays is notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c in the prior pseudo notice, the probability that the re-variable display will be executed after that is relatively high. .

  Note that the re-variable display is executed means that the number of pseudo-reams increases, and the probability that the reach display mode appears, the probability fluctuation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the short-term big hit is high. That is. Accordingly, when the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed only by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on and the drive of the accessory 26 is performed rather than when the pre-pseudo notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26. In this case, when the pre-pseudo notice is executed, the reliability of the re-variable display is not only higher than when the pre-pseudo notice is executed by turning on the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, but a reach display mode appears. The reliability is also high, such as the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot.

  Further, when the preliminary simulation is executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c (including the case where the preliminary simulation is executed even when the accessory 26 is driven), the actual number of re-variable display is different. When the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are lit, the reliability with which the variability display is executed is higher than when the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are lit in a manner corresponding to the actual number of variability displays. In addition, the reliability with which the reach display mode appears also increases the reliability of the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot.

  Further, when it is determined to execute the post-pseudo advance notice (including the case where it is determined to execute with the pre-pseudo notice), the fourth random number is extracted, and according to the extracted fourth random number, FIG. With reference to the table shown in (c), the mode (specific character A, specific character B) of the post-pseudo advance notice is determined. Whether the selection probability of the pseudo-notice mode is changed again after the decorative symbol is displayed again, or is the display result derived without executing the display again? It is different depending on.

  Here, the selection probability g2 of the specific character B when the re-variation display is further performed is higher than the selection probability f2 of the specific character B when the re-variation display is not further performed. In addition, the selection probability g1 of the specific character A when the re-variable display is further executed is lower than the selection probability f1 of the specific character A when the re-variable display is not further executed. That is, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and the specific character B is displayed, the reliability of the re-variable display is higher than when the specific character A is displayed.

  Note that the re-variable display is executed means that the number of pseudo-reams increases, and the probability that the reach display mode appears, the probability fluctuation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the short-term big hit is high. That is. In other words, when the specific character B is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, not only the reliability that the re-variation display is executed is increased, but also the reliability that the reach display mode appears is the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation The degree of reliability is also high for promotion jackpots or hourly jackpots.

  In addition, when it is determined that the notice effect (not the pseudo continuous notice) in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice as the notice effect in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment is suddenly a jackpot. It is executed at a predetermined rate before the decorative symbol variation display is stopped. In other words, when the player thinks that the decorative symbol re-variable display is executed by the prior pseudo-notification, the display of the variable display is displayed without executing the decorative symbol re-variable display, and the second big hit It is sometimes controlled to a probability variation state through a gaming state (which is often not noticed by the player).

  In the case of a big hit, if the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice is executed, the mode of the notice effect (same as the notice of the first revariable display in the previous pseudo-notice) and the execution timing selection probability Is different from the ratio for selecting the mode and the execution timing in the case where the first change notice is notified in the first pseudo notice (only when the change indication is executed) (for example, no execution, role The selection probability of only objects, only lamps, and an accessory + lamp is h1, h2, h3, and h4).

  Next, the determination of the reach notice effect will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a reach notice effect determination table for determining the reach notice effect executed in each change display in the pseudo-continuous change pattern. The figure shows how the decorative symbols for each of the L-th (L = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) variation displays of the pseudo-continuous K times (K = 1, 2, 3, 4) are finally stopped. The selection probabilities of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2, and step-up production 3 when the reach display mode appears and when the reach display mode does not appear are shown.

  The production A and the production B are executed while the previous pseudo-notice is being executed. The step-up effect is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. Even when the step-up effect 3 is selected, the third stage can be executed before the decorative symbol stops (temporarily). (Step-up effect 1 and step-up effect 2 end earlier).

  As can be seen from FIG. 7, the ratio for selecting each of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2, and step-up production 3 as the reach notice production is the Lth fluctuation display of the pseudo-continuous K productions. Depending on the difference between K and L, and whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol finally stops.

  The more detailed case will be described. The probability that the re-change display is performed after the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the re-change display is performed when the effect A is executed. A selection probability is defined. For example, comparing the case where the reach display mode is not achieved in the second variation display of the first pseudo-series and the second variation display of the second pseudo-series, bb1 / (ba1 + bb1) <db1 / (da1 + db1). Furthermore, the probability that the production B is selected is higher in the second of the two pseudo-continuations in which the variable display is executed.

  In addition, the selection probability of the reach announcement effect is determined so that the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect A is executed. For example, ba2 / (ba1 + ba2) <bb2 / (bb1 + bb2) in the second variation display of the first pseudo-continuation. As the number of variable displays increases, probability fluctuation jackpots, probability change promotion jackpots, or short-time jackpots tend to be greater, and unless reach display forms appear, probability fluctuation jackpots, probability change promotion jackpots or time-shortage jackpots will not be achieved. It can be said that the probability that the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the hourly jackpot will be higher than the probability that the stage A is executed and the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the hourly jackpot.

  Further, the selection probability of the step-up effect 3 is 0 except when the reach display mode appears in the (K + 1) th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times. In addition, the selection probabilities of the step-up effects 1 are all zero in the (K + 1) th variation display of pseudo-continuous K regardless of whether or not the reach display mode appears. In other words, the reach display mode does not appear in the variable display in which the step-up effect has ended only in the first stage (however, the reach display mode may appear in the later variable display). Then, after the decorative design temporarily stops, the variable display is executed again.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, two start winning holes 14a, 14b and two special symbol displays 10a, 10b are provided corresponding to each, and the reserved memory is also started. The winning opening 14a and the special symbol display 10a are provided separately from the start winning opening 14b and the special symbol display 10b. When there is a start winning that is stored on both sides, the special symbol display is preferentially displayed on the special symbol display unit 10b based on the reserved storage corresponding to the start winning port 14b with electric chew support. It has been done.

  Therefore, the special symbol display is not performed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b for a relatively long time (the decorative display is not displayed on the variable display device 9). When it is controlled, the pre-read stop symbol notice is performed only for the start winning to the start winning opening 14b where the variable display is preferentially performed. Even if a game ball is won at the start winning port 14a before the start winning port 14b has been won (or while the number of wins is still small), as long as the game ball is continuously launched, the first big hit game This is because it is almost certain that the reserved storage of winnings in the start winning opening 14b will reach the upper limit by the time the state ends.

  Also, when the variable winning device 15 is in the open state by the so-called electric chew support and the time ratio is increased and the winning frequency to the start winning port 14b is increased, the variable display is preferentially displayed. The pre-reading stop symbol notice is performed only for the start winning to the start winning opening 14b. Even if a game ball wins at the start winning opening 14a, as long as the game ball is continuously launched, before the special symbol change display is performed on the special symbol display 10a based on the start win, This is because it is almost certain that game balls will win one after another at the start winning opening 14b where the variable display is given priority.

  Hereinafter, the process performed for the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described. First, processing at the time of power activation will be described. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated with the main switch 94 turned on with the reset switch 93 turned on, all the storage areas of the RAM 55 except for the in-use stack area are initialized. And the process for advancing a game can be started.

  On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started with the reset switch 93 in the OFF state and the main switch 94 in the ON state, it is diagnosed whether or not the data in the RAM 55 is corrupted. If the data when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off remains normal, the data stored in the RAM 55 is left as it is, and the state when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off last time. From this, it is possible to start processing for advancing the game.

  Processing for advancing a game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed according to a timer interrupt executed every 2 ms. Note that only the release of the game ball to the game area 7 based on the operation of the hitting operation handle 5 is performed independently of the timer interruption process every 2 ms.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed every 2 ms in the main process executed by the CPU 56. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 performs the register saving process (step S21), and then executes the game control process of steps S22 to S36. In the game control process, the CPU 56 first inputs detection signals of switches such as the gate switch 61, the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, and the clear switch 65 via the switch circuit 32, and determines their state. A switch process is performed (step S22).

  Next, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a jackpot determination random number and a jackpot type determination random number used for game control is performed (step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number (step S24) and a process for updating the counter value for generating the display random number (step S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, the corresponding symbol is selected according to the special symbol process flag for controlling the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the variable display device 9, the special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Further, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. By executing the normal symbol process, the display control of the normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the variable winning device 15 are executed.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol command control process in which a command for performing various effects in the variable display device 9 or the like is sent to the display control board 80 by being set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 by the special symbol process process (step S28). ). Further, a normal symbol command control process for sending a command related to a normal symbol set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the normal symbol process is performed (step S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S30).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes prize ball processing for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, and the like (step S31). Specifically, a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls is output to the payout control board 36 in response to winning detection based on the fact that any of the start port switches 62a, 62b, the count switch 63, etc. is turned on. The payout control CPU mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of prize balls.

  And CPU56 performs the memory | storage process which checks the increase / decrease in a pending | holding memory | storage number (step S32). In the storing process, various random numbers such as jackpot determination random numbers are extracted based on the detection signals of the start port switches 62a and 62b, and the extracted random number values are stored separately in the start port switches 62a and 62b.

  In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the gaming machine to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (step S33). Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a drive command is issued to the solenoid circuit 33 (step S34). In order to put the variable winning device 15 and the special variable winning device 20 into an open state or a closed state, or to switch the game ball passage in the big winning port 21, the solenoid circuit 33 is configured with solenoids 71 to 73 in accordance with a drive command. Drive. Thereafter, the contents of the register are restored (step S35), and the interrupt enabled state is set (step S36).

  Next, the special symbol process in step S26 will be described. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 first determines whether or not the start opening switch 62 for detecting that a game ball has won the start winning opening 14a, 14b provided in the game board 6, is turned on. It is determined whether or not a start winning that causes the ball to win the start winning ports 14a and 14b has occurred. If a start winning has occurred, a start port switch passing process is performed. In the start-port switch passing process, the jackpot determination random number jackpot, the type determination random number, the variation type determination random number, and the variation pattern determination random number are extracted, and the value of the extracted random number and the type of the start winning port where the game ball is won Is transmitted to the display control board 80 in correspondence with the identification information for each start winning prize.

  After that, depending on the state of the special symbol process flag, special symbol normal processing, variation pattern setting processing, production setting processing, special symbol variation processing, special symbol stop processing, pre-opening pre-opening processing, and large winning opening described below Either open process or jackpot end process is performed.

  Special symbol normal processing: Wait until the special symbol variable display can be started. When the CPU 56 enters a state where the special symbol variation display can be started, the CPU 56 confirms the number of numerical data stored in the reserved storage buffer (the number of reserved memories). If the count value of the pending storage counter is not 0, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is determined based on the value of the random number for jackpot determination as a result of the special symbol variation display. In this case, the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number. When the value of the hold memory counter is not 0 for any of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, the big win or the like is determined in preference to the hold memory of the start winning port 14b.

  Fluctuation pattern setting processing: The variation pattern type of the special symbol in the special symbol displays 10a and 10b is selected according to the value of the random number for variation type determination extracted at the time of starting winning and the number of reserved memories. Then, it is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns determined in advance according to the type of variation pattern selected and the value of the variation pattern determination random number extracted at the time of starting winning. Based on the determined variation pattern, the variation time of the special symbol is set in a special symbol process timer (configured by a down timer), and then the special symbol process timer is started. At this time, the special symbol display 10a or 10b outputs a signal for instructing the start of variation display of the special symbol, and whether or not to make a big hit, indicates a big hit type and a start command indicating the selected variation pattern, The state is set to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after that.

  Special symbol variation processing: Monitor the time of the special symbol process timer with the variation time set according to the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting processing, and when the variation time has passed and the special symbol process timer times out, Next, control is performed to shift to the special symbol stop process.

  Special symbol stop process: The special symbol display that is variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b is stopped, and a signal indicating that the special symbol is stopped is set in a state of being output to the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. At the same time, the symbol stop command indicating the symbol stop is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after.

  Pre-opening process for the big winning opening: When this process is performed for the first time after the big hit, after setting the number of rounds of the big winning opening 21, the control for opening the big winning opening 21 is started. Specifically, the solenoid 72 is driven, the special winning opening 21 is opened, and the special variable winning device 20 is opened. In addition, the number of rounds in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is counted, and the execution time of the special winning opening opening process is set by the release timer.

  Processing during opening of the big prize opening: The round control command and the round end command for the round display in the first jackpot gaming state and the second jackpot gaming state are displayed in the special symbol command control processing (step S28) immediately after the display control board 80. The process of setting the state to be transmitted to the game, the process of confirming the closing condition of the special winning opening 21 is performed, and the like.

  Big hit end process: A game state command indicating that the first big hit game state or the second big hit game state has ended and the game state has changed is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after. Set to the state to be performed.

  On the other hand, in the various sub-side boards such as the display control board 80, the variable display device 9 displays the variation of the decorative symbols in accordance with the variation display of the special symbols based on the command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31. , Executing various effects such as stop symbol notice, prefetch stop symbol notice, pseudo-continuous notice, reach notice effect, etc., or executing a jackpot round effect when controlled to the first jackpot gaming state I do. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In this main process, first, an initialization process for initializing a necessary area in the RAM included in the display control microcomputer mounted on the display control board 80 is performed (step S701). Next, it is determined whether or not the state of the timer interrupt flag set by timer interrupt processing executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) is 1 (step S702). The process of step S702 is repeated until it becomes.

  After the timer interrupt flag status is 1, first, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to 0 (step S703), and it is checked whether a command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 is received, If a command has been received, command analysis processing for analyzing the content is executed (step S704).

  Next, based on the analysis result of the command in the command analysis process, an effect control process process is executed in which the decorative display is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 or a jackpot round effect is executed (step S705). Further, based on the analysis result of the command, a notice control process for executing various effects such as a stop symbol advance notice, a look-ahead stop symbol advance notice, or a pseudo-continuous notice and a reach notice effect is executed (step S706). Furthermore, a random number update process for updating a random number such as a notice mode determination random number is executed (step S707), and the process returns to the process of step S702.

  Hereinafter, execution of the stop symbol notice in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described based on a specific example. Here, neither the probability variation state nor the short-time state is controlled, the start winning to the start winning port 14b is not stored, and the start winning ports 14a and 14b are not stored until the explanation of this figure is finished. There will be no winning of new game balls. In the following example, execution of pseudo-continuous notice or reach notice effect is not considered.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a specific execution example of the stop symbol notice, and here, a case where a pseudo-continuous variation pattern is selected is taken as an example. First, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), in the state where there are only two reserved memories in the start winning opening 14a (two icons are displayed on the special symbol reserved memory display section 10a), the previous decorative symbol is displayed. It is assumed that the result of the variable display is derived to the variable display device 9 and confirmed by losing. Here, it is assumed that the variation pattern of the first variation display stored on hold is determined once for the pseudo-continuation.

  When a certain period of time has elapsed since the derivation of the display result of the previous variation display in FIG. 10A, as shown in FIG. 10B, a new start is made based on the start winning to the start winning opening 10a that has been stored on hold. The variable display start condition is satisfied, and the decorative symbol variation display is started in any of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. Here, the icon of the special symbol hold storage display unit 10a is reduced to one.

  Thereafter, before the variable display of any of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns is stopped, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the type of decorative pattern that will be stopped in the left decorative pattern display area 9a ( Here, “8”) is notified, and as shown in FIG. 10D, the type of decorative symbol (here, “7”) to be stopped in the right decorative symbol display area 9c as shown in FIG. )). Since the types of decorative symbols that are to be stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c are notified in advance with a time difference, it is said that they are not a pre-reading stop symbol notification but a stop symbol notification. In addition, the type of decorative design to be stopped in the internal decorative design display area 9b is not notified as it is.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10 (e), it is assumed that the variation display of the decorative symbols in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c is sequentially stopped after the decorative symbols of the type notified in advance are derived. Here, since the reach display mode is not displayed, even if the variation display of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display area 9b is stopped as it is, the probability variation big hit, the probability variation promotion big hit, or the short and long time big hit will not occur. However, conversely, since the reach display mode is not displayed, the reliability that becomes a pseudo-ream or sudden probability variation jackpot increases.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), the decorative symbol variation display is also stopped in the central decorative symbol display area 9 b, and the display result of the loss is displayed on the variable display device 9. However, since the variation pattern selected here is one quasi-continuous sequence, as shown in FIG. 10 (g), the variation of the decorative symbols in any of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. The display starts again. Since the fluctuating display of decorative symbols is stopped and resumed in the same variation display, the number of icons in the special symbol holding storage display unit 10a remains one and does not decrease.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10 (h), in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c, the decorative symbol variation display sequentially stops in the reach display mode (here, “7− ↓ −7”). To do. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10 (i), the decorative symbol variation display stops at “7” in the middle ornament symbol display area 9 b, and the display result of the probability variation jackpot is derived to the variable display device 9. It becomes.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the display of the special symbol variation display performed by the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b based on the start winnings to the starting winning ports 14a and 14b. When the result is determined by the jackpot, the game is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state or the second jackpot gaming state according to the type of jackpot. Also, if the type of jackpot is a probability change jackpot, a probable promotion jackpot, or a sudden jackpot, the probability change that the next jackpot decision probability increases after the first jackpot gaming state or the second jackpot gaming state ends The gaming state is controlled to the state.

  The occurrence of a probability fluctuation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot that shifts to the first jackpot gaming state that is particularly advantageous for the player is also indicated by the result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the variable display device 9. Here, the display mode of the decorative symbols when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot is generated is a display mode in which all the left, middle and right decorative symbols are of the same type. However, regardless of whether or not these jackpot display modes are selected, the decorative symbol variation display is not stopped at the same time for the left, middle, and right, but is sequentially stopped in the order of left, right, and center. It is supposed to be.

  If the same type is available at the stage when the left and right decorative symbols are stopped, the reach display mode is set, and the player is expected to generate a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. Become. However, since a certain amount of time is consumed before the left and right decorative designs are stopped, the left and right decorative designs are displayed at the stage where any decorative designs have not been stopped yet. The types of decorative symbols that are stopped in the areas 9a and 9c (the first temporary stop in the case of a pseudo-ream) are notified in advance (sometimes the types of decorative symbols that are stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9b) Become.

  Here, if the noticed symbol that is stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c is a decorative symbol of a type that does not become the reach display mode, the reach display mode is displayed in the variable display. The player will not be able to expect that, and the player will expect a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot (if the type of decorative pattern as previously announced is stopped, No matter what kind of decorative design is stopped in the decorative design display area 9b, it does not become a display mode of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or short-term jackpot).

  However, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, when the reach display mode does not actually appear and the ratio for notifying the decorative pattern of the type that does not become the reach display mode, the change pattern of the change display is pseudo. When it is determined that it is a ream or when it is determined that the change display suddenly becomes a probable big hit, it is higher than when it is lost without re-change display. .

  Even if the reach display mode does not appear at the first temporary stop, if all of the decorative symbols are displayed again and again after that, the probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot, or short-term jackpot May occur. The second jackpot gaming state controlled when a sudden odd jackpot is suddenly generated is the total opening time of the big winning opening 20 as compared to the first jackpot gaming state controlled by a probability variation jackpot, a probable promotion jackpot, or a short time jackpot. It is extremely short and almost no winning ball can be expected during this period, but after the second jackpot gaming state is over, it is controlled to a probability fluctuation state in which the next jackpot occurrence probability increases.

  For this reason, even if a decorative symbol of a type that does not become the reach display mode is notified as a decorative symbol stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c, the player can display a re-variable display with a pseudo-variable variation pattern. Since it can be fully expected that a probability change jackpot, a probability change jackpot, a short-term jackpot, or a sudden chance jackpot will occur suddenly, the player's expectation will not be reduced. Rather, the fact that the decorative pattern of the kind that does not become the reach display mode is notified as the decorative pattern stopped in the left and right decorative pattern display areas 9a, 9c is that the reliability of the pseudo-ream and sudden probability variation jackpot is high. Rather, since the player can expect the occurrence of these, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the notice of the type of decorative design that will be stopped by the variable display is not performed simultaneously on the left and right decorative design display areas 9a, 9c (9b), but the decorative design variable display. As in the order of stopping, the steps are sequentially performed with a time difference. Thereby, it is possible to gradually increase the player's sense of expectation as to what kind of decorative symbol to be stopped will be notified, and to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, not only the types of decorative symbols that are stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c, but also the types of decorative symbols that are stopped in the decorative symbol display region 9b are notified in advance (in this case) The display mode of the losing may be notified in advance, but it is possible to make the player feel surprised by being subject to the notification of the decorative patterns that are usually rarely notified. In addition, when the type of the decorative symbol is notified in advance, the pseudo-ream or suddenly probable jackpot is confirmed at this time, so that the type of decorative symbol to be stopped in each of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c is notified. It is possible to increase the player's interest in.

  As a mode for notifying the types of decorative symbols that are to be stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c, when notifying the same type of decorative symbols that are actually stopped, There are cases in which a different type of decorative pattern is announced in advance. Here, since the latter is more reliable than the former, it is more reliable that it will be a pseudo-ream or suddenly probable big hit, so whether or not the type of decorative pattern that will be the reach display mode will be announced, the decorative pattern display in the middle Not only whether or not the type of decorative design to be stopped in the area 9b is notified, but also what type of decorative design is notified in the left and right decorative design display areas 9a and 9c. The interest of the player can be directed, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Further, in the normal stop symbol advance notice, the types of ornament symbols to be stopped in the left and right ornament symbol display areas 9a and 9c are notified in order, but the left and right ornament symbols are displayed in order. In some cases, the types of decorative symbols to be stopped in the display areas 9a and 9c are notified in advance. The advance notice executed in this way is an advance notice that a pseudo-ream or a sudden big hit is included in the pending storage. Thereby, a player's interest can be directed to the change display executed before the change display currently being executed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, in the variation pattern of the special symbol and the decorative symbol (especially the decorative symbol) in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the variation display of the special symbol for one time (that is, one start prize) A pseudo-variable variation pattern is included in which after all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c, the re-variable display is performed once or a plurality of times to display all the decorative symbols again. ing. There are types of pseudo-reams according to the number of re-variable displays: 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, 3 pseudo-reams, and 4 pseudo-reams.

  Pseudo-ream can be selected as the type of variation pattern when the result of the variation display of special symbols and decorative designs is lost, or when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot, but the re-variation in the pseudo-run As the number of times of display increases, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is easily selected. Further, the pseudo pattern 4 is selected as the variation pattern type only when the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot.

  In addition, when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot is reached, the reach display mode always appears as a premise, so the reach display mode appears as the number of re-variable display in the pseudo-ream is large. Sometimes it is easy to choose. As the number of pseudo-reams increases, it is easier to select when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot hits, so the player's expectation will increase as the number of re-change display executed increases. Become.

  In particular, the pseudo-quadruple 4 is selected only when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot. In other words, if the fourth re-change display (fifth change display) is performed, it can be clearly determined that the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot will be determined at that time. As the number of re-variable displays increases, the closer to the fourth re-variable display, the higher the expectation that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot will be increased. As a result, the player's attention level in the whole process of a series of change display is further increased, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  By the way, when the pseudo pattern 1 time, the pseudo series 2 times, the pseudo series 3 times, or the pseudo series 4 times is selected as the type of the variation pattern, all the decorative symbols in the variation pattern are temporarily stopped after the temporary stop. There is a case where a pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that a re-variable display for displaying a decorative pattern again is performed. By executing the pseudo-announcement, the player can expect to see a re-variable display in the process of decorative display of the decorative symbols, and can also expect to see a re-variable display being performed. The appearance of the display mode can also be expected to be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-time jackpot.

  In addition, the pseudo-continuous notice is executed by turning on the decorative lamps 25a to 25c or driving the accessory 26 during the variable display before the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern. By displaying a specific character when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped with the pseudo-preliminary notice and the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream, after all the temporarily stopped symbols are changed and displayed again, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and changed. There is a pseudo-notice after notifying that the re-variable display including the display is executed.

  At the time of starting the first variation display of a decorative symbol for a pseudo-continuous notice to be executed when pseudo-ream 1, pseudo-ream 2, pseudo-ream 3 or pseudo-ream 4 is selected as the type of variation pattern In this case, it is determined whether to execute a pseudo-preliminary notice, execute a pre-pseudo notice, execute a post-pseudo notice, or execute both a pre-pseudo notice and a post-pseudo notice. Here, the probability of selecting whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pseudo-predictive notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, or execute both is determined as one of probability change jackpot, probability change jackpot or jackpot Depending on whether or not.

  For this reason, a prior pseudo notice is given before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, a post pseudo notice is given when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (a specific character is displayed), or Depending on whether both post-pseudo advance notices are performed, or whether neither pre-pseudo notices nor post-pseudo notices are made, it is possible to expect a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot, From this, it can be expected that the reach display mode appears and the re-variable display is executed.

  In addition, before the decorative symbol temporarily stops, it is notified in advance that the re-variable display is performed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, or it is notified that the re-variable display is performed in both. In addition, the player's interest will be directed to whether or not the re-variable display will be announced in any of them, and the player's attention will be raised throughout the process of a series of decorative symbols Can improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, in the determination of whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pre-pseudo notice, execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, or execute both the pseudo-preliminary notice and the post-pseudo-predictor, And the execution of both the first pseudo-announcement and the second pseudo-announcement are different depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is decided. Yes. In other words, the ratio of the probability that a specific character is not displayed and a big hit without displaying a specific character at the time of a temporary stop and the specific character with respect to the probability that a specific character is not displayed even if a specific character is displayed at the time of a temporary stop are displayed. It is different from the ratio of the probability of being a big hit.

  As a result, paying attention to the post-pseudo notice, the player is expected to win a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot depending on whether or not a specific character is derived when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It is possible to improve the interest of the game. In addition, letting the player expect a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot will cause a reach display mode to appear and a re-variable display to be executed.

  Also, just because the specific character is not displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped does not necessarily mean that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot will not be, but the specific character when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped Just because it is displayed does not necessarily mean that the probability change jackpot, variable promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot. This gives the player a certain sense of expectation by displaying a specific character when the decorative design is temporarily stopped, but does not diminish the player's attention to the whole process of a series of variation display. , You can improve the fun of the game.

  In addition, there are two types of specific characters that can be stopped when the post-pseudo advance notice is executed, the specific character A and the specific character B, and the selection ratio of which one to stop is determined again after the next temporary stop. It differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can be made to pay attention not only to whether or not the specific character is displayed when the decorative design is temporarily stopped, but also to the type of the specific character to be displayed. In addition, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation that a re-variable display will be executed according to the type of a specific character displayed when temporarily stopped, thereby expecting a reach display mode to appear. The player can also be given a sense of expectation that the player will also have a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot.

  In addition, in the determination of whether to execute a pseudo-preliminary notice, execute a pre-pseudo notice, execute a pre-pseudo notice, or execute both a pre-pseudo notice and a post-pseudo notice, at least the pre-pseudo notice is executed (pre-pseudo notice) And the execution of both the first pseudo-announcement and the second pseudo-announcement) will also differ depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is decided. Yes. This makes it possible for the player to expect a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot depending on whether or not a prior pseudo notice is executed before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. , You can improve the fun of the game. In addition, letting the player expect a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot will cause a reach display mode to appear and a re-variable display to be executed.

  In addition, the preliminary simulation is performed by turning on the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and driving the accessory 26, and the execution mode thereof includes a plurality of types of modes for each variable display executed in the pseudo-series. It is to be selected from home. Then, the selection ratio of the previous pseudo-notice mode differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again. For this reason, when a preliminary | simulation advance notice is performed, a player can be made to pay attention also to the aspect. In addition, according to the difference in the form of the prior preliminary notice that has been executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will be executed, and thereby the expectation for the appearance of the reach display form, It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will be given.

  In addition, the pre-prediction mode includes a mode in which only the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, a mode in which only the accessory 26 is driven, and a mode in which lighting of the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and driving of the accessory 26 are combined. It is included. The fact that the selection ratio of the pre-preliminary notice mode is different depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again means that the rendering means (decorative lamps 25a to 25c, the accessory 26) used to execute the pre-preliminary notice The ratio for selecting is also different depending on whether or not re-variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can expect the re-variation display to be executed according to the difference in the production means in which the preliminary notice is executed, and can expect the re-variation display to be executed. It can be expected that a reach display mode will appear and that a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be expected.

  In addition, in the aspect of the preliminary warning, at least the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, and the player is notified of the number of re-variable display depending on the type of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c to be turned on. Become. Of course, there is an aspect in which the number of re-variable display notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c is different from the actual number, but the selection ratio of the aspect that is different from the actual number is further increased. It differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can expect the re-variable display to be executed depending on whether or not the number of re-variable displays notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c is the same as the actual number. By expecting that the re-variable display is executed, it is possible to expect a reach display mode to appear and a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  In addition, the mode of the prior pseudo-notice is selected from a plurality of types for each variation display executed in the pseudo-ream, but from the variation start of the decorative design to the first temporary stop. In the variable display, there is a case where no execution is selected as a mode of the prior pseudo notice. However, even if there is no prior pseudo-notice in the fluctuation display until the first temporary stop, if the decorative pattern is displayed in a variable pattern with the fluctuation pattern included in the pseudo-ream type, the decorative design is temporarily stopped. A re-variable display is performed in which the variable display is performed again later. In this case, if execution of only the post-pseudo advance notice is selected, the specific character is not displayed at the time of temporary stop.

  For this reason, without changing the pre-pseudo-notice (and without executing the post-pseudo-pre-notification), to the player who thought that it was not a fluctuating pattern, a decorative pattern is displayed again. It can give unexpectedness and improve the fun of the game. In addition, since the preliminary simulation prior to the first temporary stop may not be executed, even if the selected variation pattern has no pseudo-continuation, it is still replayed until the result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is finalized. It is possible to make the player expect that the variable display is performed, and to improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, regardless of whether the selected variation pattern type is pseudo-ream or pseudo-ream, the first time the (temporary) stop of the decorative symbol variation display is started, the variation of the decorative symbol again The player's interest is directed to whether or not the display is made, and the player's attention is increased throughout the series of variable display processes, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the preliminary pseudo-notice has an earlier execution timing (for example, one that starts immediately after the decorative symbol variation display (or the start of variation display after temporary stop) starts) and the execution timing. Some of them are slow (for example, one that starts after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the decorative symbol display). For this reason, the range of the period during which the player pays attention to whether or not the prior pseudo notice is executed is widened, the player's attention is increased throughout the series of variable display processes, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  Here, the selection ratio of the execution timing of the prior pseudo-notice differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the timing at which execution of the first pseudo notice is started. In addition, the player can be given an expectation that the re-variation display will be executed according to the difference in the execution timing of the prior pseudo-notice. A player can also be given a sense of expectation that a jackpot, a promising promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will be given.

  In addition, the selection ratio of the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing is lower than the selection ratio of the earlier pseudo-notice with the earlier execution timing. As a result, when the preliminary simulation is not performed at an early timing, it is possible to give an unexpectedness to a player who can hardly expect that the re-variation display in the pseudo-continuation will continue. Moreover, the ratio at which the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing is selected is somewhat higher when the re-variable display continues. For this reason, it is possible to give a player who has once lost his sense of expectation to a greater expectation than when the preliminary preliminary notice was given at an early timing, and to improve the interest of the game by the difference in the expectation it can.

  In addition, when winning the jackpot lottery based on winning to the start winning opening 14a, 14b, a jackpot type lottery that determines the type of the jackpot is performed, the jackpot type that can be determined here is a probability variation jackpot, In addition to the probabilistic promotion jackpot and hourly jackpot, there is a promising jackpot. The sudden jackpot is a gaming state in which the player changes to the probability variation state by opening the big winning opening 21 so that the player may not notice it. The variation pattern of the sudden probability variation that can be selected at this time is: Considering only the decorative pattern variation display, there is no difference from the non-reach loss variation pattern that can be selected in the event of a loss.

  In this way, when the result of the big hit type lottery is a sudden big hit, when the decorative design is displayed in a sudden and fluctuating manner, a notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice may be executed. If it is a notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice, the player usually considers this as a pre-predictive notice, and expects that the variable display will be displayed again after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It will be. Of course, this notice effect is not the pre-pseudo notice, just the same form as the pre-pseudo notice, but the decorative design is stopped as it is and is shifted to the probability variation state. In this way, it is possible to give the player the unexpectedness that the player is expected to re-variate display with the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice, and is controlled to the probability variation state without being re-variable display, The interest of the game can be improved.

  The jackpot lottery is performed based on the winnings of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, but the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is not changed in any case. On the other hand, the selection ratio of the jackpot type in the jackpot type lottery when winning the jackpot lottery is such that the winning symbol at the start winning port 14a, that is, the special symbol display on the special symbol display 10a, or the winning symbol at the starting winning port 14b, It differs depending on whether the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display 10b. In particular, the probability of selecting a surprise jackpot as the type of jackpot is 1/10 when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a, whereas the special symbol display on the special symbol display 10b is displayed. Is 2/10.

  That is, the ratio of the loss that can select the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the hourly jackpot (simply “big jackpot” in this paragraph) is displayed on the special symbol display 10a. The case differs from the case where the special symbol display 10b displays the variation of the special symbol. As a result, even when the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner with the same number of pseudo-reams, the probability of winning the jackpot is that the special symbol is changed on the special symbol display 10a and the special symbol on the special symbol display 10b. It differs from the case where it is displayed.

  For this reason, not only the decorative symbol variation display executed in the variable display device 9, but also the special symbol variation display is performed by any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, that is, which of the start winning openings 14a and 14b. The player's interest can be gathered up to whether or not the variable display is performed based on the winning of the game, and the interest of the game can be further improved. In addition, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the start winning ports 14a and 14b the game ball has won and which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  In addition, in the notice effect that is executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, in addition to the pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that the re-variable display of the decorative symbol is performed, until the decorative symbol variable display is completed. There is a reach notice effect for notifying that a reach display mode will appear. In the quasi-ream fluctuation pattern, the production A and the production B of the reach notice effects are in a period in which the prior notice is executed for each change display (the actual false notice may not actually be executed). To be executed.

  Here, there are types of reach notice effects, such as effect A, effect B, step-up effect 1, step-up effect 2, and step-up effect 3. The selection ratio of the reach notice effect is not only different according to the difference between K and L in the L-th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times, but whether or not the reach display mode appears until the final stop of the decorative symbol Depending on. For this reason, the player can expect whether or not a reach display mode will appear according to the type of effect executed as the reach notice effect while the prior pseudo notice is being performed, and further enhances the interest of the game. Can be improved. Further, depending on the type of the effect executed as the reach notice effect, the player can expect whether the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot, or whether the re-change display is performed.

  Further, in the step-up notice effect included in the reach notice effect, the reliability (reliability that becomes the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot) becomes higher as the stage to be executed becomes larger. Although it is a production, in the fluctuating display from the last temporary stop to the final stop of the decorative symbol in the pseudo-ream, regardless of whether or not the reach display mode appears here, it is completed only by the execution of the first stage. The step-up effect 1 is not executed.

  In other words, if the step-up effect has been executed only at the first stage and ended, the re-variable display in the pseudo-run may be executed although the reliability of the reach display mode appearing is small. It is to be confirmed. Thereby, even in the step-up effect up to the first stage where the reach display mode appears with a small degree of reliability, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will be executed. It can improve.

  In addition, the reach display mode may appear in the final variation display in any type of no pseudo-continuous, one pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, three pseudo-continuous, and four pseudo-continuous. The distribution ratios of the variation patterns having different reach display modes are different for each type. There is also a variation pattern that can be distributed only by a specific number of pseudo-reams, such as full rotation. As described above, by distributing the number of pseudo-reams and distributing the variation pattern that causes the reach display mode to appear, various effects of the decorative symbol display can be varied, and the entertainment of the game can be improved. Furthermore, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation according to the number of re-variable display executed until the reach display mode appears and the type of reach display mode that has appeared, thereby improving the interest of the game Can do.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the CPU 56 of the main board 31 performs the determination of the variation pattern, but the start winning command is displayed at the start winning, and the start command is displayed at the start of the variation display. By transmitting to the substrate 80, the display control CPU of the display control substrate 80 can select the stop symbol advance notice, the prefetch stop symbol advance notice, or the pseudo-continuous notice or reach notice effect. As a result, an unnecessary load is not applied to the CPU 56 of the main board 31.

  Further, the CPU for display control of the display control board 80 performs a variable display with a sudden change or a pseudo-variable variation pattern during the pending storage based on the start winning command transmitted at the time of starting winning. If there is something that suddenly becomes a probable big hit in hold memory or a variable display that is executed with a pseudo-variable fluctuation pattern during pending storage, The pre-reading stop symbol notice is performed with the change display (except those currently being executed). As a result, a series of related effects (sudden probability change jackpot and pseudo It is possible to perform a pre-reading stop notice in a variation display with a series of variation patterns, and to improve the interest of the game.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the special symbol change display based on the start winning of the start winning opening 14a is the special symbol display unit 10a, and the special symbol change display based on the start winning of the start winning opening 14b. Is executed by the special symbol display unit 10b. A separate storage buffer is provided in the RAM 55 for each of the winning winning openings 14a and 14b, and special symbol storage storage units 11a and 11b are also provided separately. The variable winning device 15 is provided, and so-called electric chew support is performed only at the starting winning port 14b. Both the reserved memory by the starting winning of the starting winning port 14a and the reserved memory by the starting winning of the starting winning port 14b are provided. When there is, the reserved memory corresponding to the start winning opening 14b is given priority and the special symbol display unit 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  Here, by the time of the end, both of the start winning ports 14a and 14b are successively displayed in the first jackpot gaming state in which the reserved memory reaches the upper limit, or the starting winning port 14b in which the variable display is preferentially performed by electric support. During the short time when the game ball wins, the pre-reading stop symbol notice for the start winning port 14a without the electric chew support is not performed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from being given more than the assumed number of game balls by continuously generating the first big hit gaming state by the technical intervention of the player.

  In addition, even if a game ball wins at the start winning port 14a without so-called electric chew support or a game ball wins at the start winning port 14b with electric chew support, if the game state is the same, the jackpot probability There is no difference. When a big hit is made based on the start winning to the start winning opening 14a without electric Chu support, it becomes a probability change jackpot or a probability change promotion jackpot controlled to a probability change state through the first jackpot gaming state (30 seconds, 15 rounds). The probability is 4/10, and the probability that the game is controlled to the probability variation state through the second jackpot gaming state (0.2 to 0.5 seconds, 2 rounds) is 2/10.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot is made based on the start winning to the start winning port 14b with electric Chu support, the probability variation jackpot controlled to the probability variation state through the first jackpot gaming state (30 seconds, 15 rounds) or The probability of a probable promotion jackpot is 5/10, and the probability of a sudden jackpot that is controlled to a probability variation state through the second jackpot gaming state (0.2 to 0.5 seconds, 2 rounds) is 1/10 is there. In the short time state, it becomes easy to win the start winning opening 14b by the electric chew support, and even if controlled to the probability variation state, the game ball does not increase without being controlled by the first big hit, and the player is discouraged. Can be reduced, and the profit of the player can be increased.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the selection of the variation pattern type when the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss is selected as a super reach loss, a pseudo-ream 1-time loss, a pseudo-ream 2-time loss, or a pseudo-ream 3 The losing times are common regardless of the number of reserved memories, but non-reach loses and normal reach loses are made different according to the number of reserved memories. This makes it possible to always select a variation pattern belonging to the types of Super Reach Loss, Pseudo Continuous Loss, Pseudo Continuous Loss, and Pseudo Continuous Loss according to the number of reserved memories, while maintaining non-reach loss and normal reach. The ratio of selecting the loss can be easily changed.

  In addition, even if there is a difference in the selection of the variation pattern type depending on the difference in the number of reserved memories, there is no influence on the determination of the variation pattern of one pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, and three pseudo-continuous. It will be finished. In addition, when the number of pending storages is 3 or more, the variation time is shortened, but at the time of shortening, the ratio of selecting non-reach loses with a shorter variation time becomes larger. For this reason, when the number of reserved memories is large, the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is digested on average faster, so the number that can be retained while waiting for the display result of the variation display to be derived The number of start prizes that exceed the limit is reduced, and it is not necessary to waste the start prizes.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, when the probability fluctuation state is controlled based on the occurrence of the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the sudden probability variation jackpot, the probability variation state is continued indefinitely until the next jackpot occurs. (However, if the next jackpot is a probability fluctuation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a sudden chance jackpot, it will be controlled again in the probability fluctuation state). However, the number of special symbol variations displayed in the probability variation state is not limited, and may be up to a certain number.

  The maximum number of special symbol variations displayed in one probability variation state can be set to a number greater than the reciprocal of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state (for example, 100 times). Alternatively, the number of reserved memories is about 4 (for example, the number of reserved memories for the start winning opening 14b subject to the pre-read stop symbol notice in the first jackpot gaming state (during the big hit round production), or the start winning openings 14a, 14b 8), which is the sum of the number of reserved storages for. When the number of special symbol variations displayed in the probability variation state is limited to a certain number of times, the number of times of control in the short-time state can be adjusted accordingly.

  In the above embodiment, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on, a startup command including information related to the reserved storage of the start winning ports 14a and 14b is transmitted from the main board 31 to the display control board 80, and the display control board 80 The display control CPU increases or decreases the number of reserved memories specified by the startup command when receiving the start winning command and the start command, and grasps the number of reserved memories in real time. On the other hand, the start winning command and / or the start time command include information indicating the number of reserved memories of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, and the display control CPU of the display control board 80 directly stores the information from here. You may be able to grasp the number of

  In the above embodiment, the start winning command indicating the values of the jackpot determining random number, the jackpot type determining random number, and the variation type determining random number at the time of starting winning is transmitted from the main board 31 to the display control board 80. The display control CPU of the display control board 80 analyzes the start winning command and determines whether or not the variation display based on the start winning is a pseudo-continuous variation pattern. However, the display control CPU of the display control board 80 only needs to determine whether or not this pseudo-variable variation pattern is required when starting a winning prize. Therefore, the jackpot extracted by the CPU 56 of the main board 31 when starting a winning prize is obtained. Based on the determination random number, the jackpot type determination random number, and the variation type determination random number, it is determined whether or not it becomes a pseudo-variable variation pattern, and a start winning command indicating whether or not it is a pseudo-continuous display control board 80 may be transmitted.

  In the above embodiment, the stop symbol advance notice is performed on the right ornament which is stopped on the ornament symbol display area 9c after notifying the type of the left ornament symbol to be stopped on the ornament symbol display area 9a. It was executed by giving notice of the type of design. However, the stop symbol notification does not necessarily have to be performed according to the actual stop order of the decorative symbols. For example, the decorative symbol display is performed after notifying the type of the left decorative symbol to be stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9a. You may perform by notifying the kind of the right decoration design which will be stopped by the area | region 9c. There are cases where notices are given in the order of left and right, and cases where notices are given in the order of right and left, and the reliability of becoming a pseudo-ream or suddenly probable big hit is different between the two. Good.

  The stop symbol notice indicates the type of the right decorative symbol that will be stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9c after the left stop symbol is actually stopped in the decorative symbol display region 9a (in some cases). Further, the type of the decorative design that is to be stopped in the decorative design display area 9b may be notified in advance. In this case, if the stop symbol notice of the right ornament design is made with the same type as the left ornament symbol that has already been stopped, it is announced that the reach display mode will appear, which is different from the left ornament symbol When the stop symbol advance notice of the right decorative design is made by type, it is notified that the reach display mode does not appear.

  In the above-described embodiment, when up to the type of the decorative symbol that is to be stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9b is notified, the pseudo-ream or sudden probability variation jackpot is confirmed at that time. . On the other hand, after the left and right decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c in a pseudo-variable variation pattern, a predetermined decorative symbol (pseudo continuous symbol) predetermined in the decorative symbol display region 9b is used. ) Is temporarily stopped, the re-variable display in the pseudo-continuous may be executed. The pseudo-continuous symbol indicating that the re-variable display in the pseudo-ream is executed is not composed of the decorative pattern alone, but is composed of a combination of the left and / or right decorative symbols. Also good.

  In this case, not only the type of the decorative symbol that is to be stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9b is notified, but also the type of the decorative symbol that has been notified is displayed as a pseudo-continuous symbol (left and / or right). When a pseudo-continuous symbol is configured by a combination with a decorative symbol, the combination of the decorative symbol display area 9a and / or 9c and the one that has been announced as a decorative symbol to be stopped in the decorative symbol display region 9b is a pseudo-continuous symbol. On the condition that it is a symbol), it may be determined to be a pseudo-ream when a stop symbol notice is made.

  In the above embodiment, when the stop symbol notice is made in a different mode from the reach display mode (except when the type of the decorative symbol in the inside is given), the variable display suddenly becomes a probable big hit. The reliability of the change pattern of the pseudo-ream is assumed to be higher than when the stop symbol notice is not performed. However, it is either suddenly probable big hit or pseudo-variable fluctuation pattern that increases the reliability in the variable display when the stop symbol notice is performed in a mode different from the reach display mode. Just as good.

  In the above embodiment, there are four types of jackpot types: probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot, short-term jackpot, and sudden probability jackpot, and the first three jackpots are controlled to the first jackpot gaming state. It was. On the other hand, when a sudden probability change jackpot occurs, the number of open rounds of the big prize opening 20 and the opening time per turn are controlled to be the second big hit gaming state, which is controlled to the probability fluctuation state thereafter. It was.

  On the other hand, after the end of the second big hit gaming state, a small hit that will be controlled to the same gaming state as before may be provided. Whether or not to generate a small win can be determined based on a result of a small lottery executed separately from the big hit lottery (for example, when the big hit lottery is lost). Since the small hit is a loss as a result of the big hit lottery, the variation pattern selected in the variation display when the small hit is determined is the same as the variation pattern selected at the loss.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine with a small hit, whether a sudden probability change big hit or a small hit is generated based on the variation display mode of the decorative pattern on the variable display device 9 or the open mode of the big prize opening 20? May not know the player. Then, the selection of the stop symbol notice in the variation display when the small hit is determined is performed in the same manner as the selection of the stop symbol announcement in the variation display when the sudden probability variation big hit is determined in the above embodiment. And it is sufficient.

  As a result, the player can expect to suddenly generate either a probable big hit or a small win depending on the type of decorative symbol for which the stop symbol is notified. In this way, suddenly expecting the occurrence of either a probable big hit or a small win is not the fact that it is controlled to the probability fluctuation state itself, but the possibility of being controlled to the probability fluctuation state is expected by the stop symbol notice. , You can improve the fun of the game. This is especially the case when the reliability of the change display when the stop symbol notice is made in a mode different from the reach display mode as shown in the above-mentioned modification does not increase the reliability of the pseudo continuous pattern. It is also effective.

  In the above embodiment, the types of decorative symbols that are stopped in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c as a result of the variable display are the same regardless of the results of the jackpot lottery, the jackpot type lottery, or the selected variation pattern. It was determined when each command was received and each variable display was started. However, sudden probability variation jackpots subject to pre-reading stoppage notices, and fluctuation display will be executed with pseudo-variable variation patterns (in addition, probability variation jackpots, probability variation promotion jackpots or short time in this case) The presence / absence of a big hit) can be specified when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 14a, 14b and a starting winning command is received.

  Therefore, when the display control CPU of the display control board 80 receives the start winning command, the display control board 80 determines whether the variation display based on the starting winning command suddenly becomes a probable big hit or not, and whether or not a pseudo variation pattern is obtained. When it is judged and suddenly a probable big hit or a pseudo-variable variation pattern, the type of decorative design that will be stopped by the variation display (if it becomes a pseudo-variable variation pattern, further before the final stop The type of decorative design to be temporarily stopped may also be determined. In other variable displays, the type of decorative design that is to be stopped when the start command is received may be determined.

  In this case, the look-ahead stop symbol advance notice may be performed according to the type of the decorative symbol that is suddenly stopped or temporarily stopped by a variation display that becomes a probable big change or a pseudo-variable variation pattern. However, since the type of symbol to be notified in the pre-reading stop notice notice when there is no suddenly probable big hit or pseudo ream fluctuation pattern in the stored memory, such a method can not be selected, for example The selection may be made in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

  In this way, depending on the type of decorative pattern that is stopped or temporarily stopped with a variation display that becomes a sudden probability variation jackpot included in the hold memory or a pseudo-variable variation pattern, If it is determined, the type of decorative symbol that will be stopped in the variable display that has not been executed at the present time is forewarned, so that the variable display that is executed before the current variable display is also displayed. The interest of the player can be directed and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, if the type of decorative symbol that has been announced is different from the type of decorative symbol that has actually been stopped, there must be a pattern that suddenly becomes a probable big hit or pseudo-variable pattern during pending storage. Can be expected, and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, when the same type of decorative design is announced over multiple games with a different type of decorative design from the type of the actually stopped decorative design, it is a sudden variation or a pseudo-variable variation pattern during hold storage The reliability of being included is extremely high. Thereby, a player's expectation can be raised and the interest of a game can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the stop symbol notice is the left decorative symbol type and the right decorative symbol type sequentially (in some cases, the inside decorative symbol type is also sequentially), and the look-ahead stop symbol notice is the left decorative symbol type and the right decorative symbol type. At the same time, it was executed by giving notice of the types of decorative designs. However, the normal stop symbol advance notice and the look-ahead symbol advance notice are the same method (in the above case, there is no difference in the timing at which the stop symbol advance notice, the pre-read stop notice notice, and the type of each decorative symbol are notified). It may be executed.

  Here, if the pre-reading stop notice is used in combination with the type of decoration that will be stopped or temporarily stopped with a change display that suddenly becomes a probable big hit or a pseudo-change pattern, If the same type of decorative design is used across multiple games, the variation display will result in a sudden probability variation jackpot or a pseudo-variable variation pattern, or a sudden probability variation jackpot during pending storage, The reliability of including a variation pattern is extremely high. Thereby, a player's expectation can be raised and the interest of a game can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, in the variation display executed in the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the type of decorative symbol temporarily suspended at the first stop symbol notification is notified. However, for pseudo-continuation 2, pseudo-continuation 3 and pseudo-continuation 4, not only the type of decorative symbols that are temporarily stopped for the first time, but also all temporary decorative symbols are displayed again and again, and then temporarily stopped. The type of decorative pattern to be displayed may be notified in advance. It may be determined individually for each temporary stop or may be determined collectively for all temporary stops.

  Here, for each temporary stop, the type of decorative symbol to be notified is the type of decorative symbol that will be temporarily stopped for any number of temporary stops, and the type of decorative symbol that will eventually be stopped. It may be determined according to the type. In this case, when the left and right decorative symbols are stopped, if they are different from the type of the decorative symbol for which the advance notice has been given, the possibility that the re-variable display is executed is high. The greater the number of re-variable displays in the pseudo-ream, the more likely it will be a probability variation jackpot, a probable promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, which can give the player a sense of expectation and further enhance the game's interest. Can be improved.

  In the embodiment described above, the decorative pattern variation pattern is determined based on the determined type and the variation pattern determination random number value after the CPU 56 of the main board 31 determines the type based on the variation type determination random number value. It was supposed to be determined as a detailed pattern. However, whether or not the variation pattern is one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series, and four pseudo-series is determined by the determination of the variation pattern type based on the variation type determination random number value. Will be. The CPU 56 of the main board 31 determines only the type of the variation pattern (however, in this case, the variation display time is determined for each type), and the detailed variation pattern is determined (for example, the pseudo continuous sequence). The determination of the number of sliding frames to be either normal reach or super reach when the pseudo-continuous 2, pseudo-continuous 3 or pseudo-continuous 4 times is determined) is for display control of the display control board 80. It may be performed by the CPU.

  In the above embodiment, the look-ahead stop symbol notice is performed before any decorative symbol has stopped since the fluctuating display of the decorative symbol executed before the fluctuating display subject to the notice is started. Met. However, the prefetch stop symbol advance may be executed if the start of the change display is started after the start winning for the change display to be notified is received.

  For example, the display mode of the icons displayed on the special symbol hold storage display units 11a and 11b for the variable display to be notified is different from the normal display mode (the icon displaying the type of the stop symbol to be notified) ) May be used to make a prefetch stop symbol notice. In addition, the timing of displaying the special display mode icon and starting the prefetch stop symbol notice may be the timing when the start winning for the variation display is received, or any timing before the variation display is started. It can be. It is also possible to display a special display mode icon at the timing when a single variation display is completed and a new variation display (based on a start winning prior to the variation display to be notified) is started.

  Furthermore, unless the special symbol hold storage display units 11a and 11b have a special display mode, the prefetch stop symbol advance notice is not performed unless it is performed as an effect while the decorative symbol variation display is being executed. May be performed while the jackpot round effect is being executed under the control of the first jackpot gaming state (this time also before the start of the variable display to be notified). Even when there is no change in the mode of the stop symbol advance notice and the look-ahead stop symbol advance notice, the timing of executing the pre-read stop notice notice may be different from the timing at which the stop symbol advance notice can be executed.

  In the above embodiment, when the first jackpot gaming state is controlled and when the time-shortening state is controlled, the look-ahead stop symbol advance notification for the start winning opening 14a without the electric chew support is not performed. On the other hand, for example, even after the first jackpot gaming state or the time-saving state is over, for those that won the start winning opening 14a while being controlled to the first jackpot or the time-saving state, The prefetch stop symbol notice may not be performed.

  In the above embodiment, when a probability variation jackpot or a probabilistic promotion jackpot occurs, the probability variation state is controlled and the time reduction state is controlled until the next jackpot occurs after the end of the first jackpot gaming state. When a big hit occurs, it is controlled to be in a time-saving state until the special figure game is executed 100 times after the first big hit. On the other hand, as a gaming state other than the first and second jackpot gaming states, a pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled in the probability variation state but cannot be controlled in the time reduction state (instead of the time reduction jackpot, the probability variation state is entered. The present invention can also be applied to an ordinary jackpot that is not controlled). In this case, it is possible not to perform the pre-reading stop symbol notice for the start winning opening 14a without the electric chew support while being controlled to the probability variation state.
