Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine providing expectation of a jackpot of a symbol variation game, when the symbol variation game is performed, and increasing the player's interest in the game.SOLUTION: A second symbol variation game is more likely to be performed while a variation time-reduced status is awarded rather than while the variation time-reduced status is not awarded, and in the second symbol variation game, a jackpot game advantageous to a player is likely to be awarded rather than in a first symbol variation game. When a winning probability oscillation jackpot game is awarded in the disadvantageous first symbol variation game, while the variation time-reduced status is awarded, a first presentation result representing the awarding of winning probability oscillation status after the end of the jackpot game as a result of upgrading presentation, is likely to be derived, rather than when the winning probability oscillation jackpot game is awarded in the first symbol variation game performed while the variation time-reduced status is not awarded.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that includes a plurality of start winning holes and has different types of jackpot games to be given or a ratio at which a specific jackpot game is given for each start winning opening that has been a trigger for a symbol variation game. Is.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a kind of gaming machine, a random number for determining a big hit is obtained when a gaming ball enters a start winning opening arranged on the gaming board, and the value of the random number is determined in advance. Depending on whether or not the big hit determination value matches, the big hit lottery of whether or not the big hit is done. In addition, the lottery result of the big hit lottery is derived by executing a symbol variation game in which symbols of a plurality of columns are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, when the jackpot display result is finally displayed as a fixed stop, the player can recognize the jackpot. In addition, after the big hit display result is displayed in a fixed stop state, a big hit game that is performed by opening the big prize opening is awarded.

  By the way, some pachinko machines have a start winning opening (hereinafter referred to as “first start winning opening”) in which a game ball enters with a certain probability regardless of the mode of giving the variable state, and the variable state. There is a gaming machine provided with a start winning opening (hereinafter referred to as a “second starting winning opening”) in which the probability that a game ball will enter is high by being given (for example, Patent Document 1) . In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, when the second symbol variation game executed when the game ball is won at the second start winning opening becomes a big hit, the game ball wins at the first starting winning opening. As a result, an advantageous jackpot game is more likely to be awarded than the jackpot game that is awarded when the first symbol variation game that is executed as a trigger is a jackpot. In other words, in the gaming machine as in Patent Document 1, when the variable state is given, the second symbol variation game is more easily played than when the variable state is not given, and therefore an advantageous big hit. A game is likely to be given.

JP 2007-111334 A (paragraph numbers [265] to [266])

  By the way, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, just because the variable state is given, not only the second symbol variation game is executed, but the first symbol variation game may be executed. That is, when the variable state is given, the first symbol variation game is executed, and the symbol variation game may be a big hit. If the first symbol variation game is a big hit when the variable state is given, an advantageous big hit game is less likely to be awarded as compared to the case where the second symbol variation game is a big hit. As a result, when the variable state is given, even if the first symbol variation game is executed, it is difficult to expect the first symbol variation game to be a big hit, and the player's interest is sufficiently improved. I could not.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine that can be expected to be a big hit when the symbol variation game is executed, and that can improve the interest of the game.

  In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a first start winning means configured such that a game ball wins with the same probability regardless of a mode of giving a variable state; A second start winning means configured to win the game ball with a higher probability when the short state is given than when the short state is not given, and the first start winning means or the second A game execution means for causing the effect display device to change a plurality of symbols by executing a winning game ball to the starting winning means, and a plurality of types of big hit games when the symbol variation game to be executed is a big hit A jackpot game deciding means for deciding a jackpot game to be awarded after the end of the symbol variation game that is a jackpot, and giving a probability change state in which the probability of being a jackpot after the jackpot game ends is higher than usual. When the jackpot game determination means determines a probability variation jackpot game, in a gaming machine to which a probability variation state is given after the probability variation jackpot game ends, a notification is given that a probability variation state is imparted when the probability variation jackpot game is determined. The effect execution determining means for determining whether or not to execute the notification effect to be performed, the jackpot game determining means is executed when the winning game ball is awarded to the second start winning means by the symbol variation game that has won the jackpot In the case of the second symbol variation game, the symbol variation game that is a big hit is compared with the case where it is the first symbol variation game that is executed in response to the winning of the game ball to the first start winning means. Thus, it is easy to determine a jackpot game that is advantageous to the player, and the effect execution determining means is that the first symbol variation game is a jackpot, and the probability variation jackpot game is granted. When a fixed state is given when the first symbol variation game is won, when the first symbol variation game is executed, when the first symbol variation game is won. The gist is to determine the execution of the notification effect with high probability.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the invention, the effect execution determining means has a big hit when the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not given, and the probability change When the second symbol variation game is a big hit with a probability higher than the probability of determining the execution of the notification effect when the jackpot game is determined to be awarded, the notification effect of the notification effect is determined when the probability variable jackpot game is determined to be given. The probability that the execution of the notification effect is determined when the execution of the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is given is a big hit, and the provision of the probable big hit game is decided. The gist is to determine the execution of the notification effect when the second symbol variation game is a big hit with a low probability and the provision of the probability change big hit game is decided.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, a period in which a variable state is provided after the end of the probability change big hit game, and a probability change state is not provided after the big hit game ends. The gist is that the period during which the variable state is given after the end of the non-probable large hit game is the same period.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the first effect mode in which the symbol variation game can be executed with a predetermined effect content; At least two types of effect modes of the second effect mode capable of executing the symbol variation game with effect contents different from the effect mode are configured to be set, and the effect mode setting means for setting various effect modes is provided, The setting means is configured to set the first effect mode after the end of the big hit game. After the predetermined number of symbol variation games have been executed after the end of the big hit game, the notification means has already been executed. When it is informed that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished, the first effect mode is continuously set, while the notification effect is not executed, The gist that you set the performance mode.

  According to the present invention, when the symbol variation game is executed, the symbol variation game can be expected to be a big hit, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special symbol display device 14 are classified into symbol a, symbol b, symbol c, and symbol f. Specifically, 63 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 14 are distributed to the symbol a. In addition, seven types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and displayed on the second special symbol display device 14 are distributed to the symbol b. Of the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 14, five types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol c. Of the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 14, 25 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol f. Note that in the second symbol variation game in the present embodiment, no small lottery is performed. Therefore, on the second special figure display device 14, the small hit symbol is not fixedly stopped and displayed, but the big hit symbol or the off symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed.

  Granted when a big hit symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 with a fixed stop or when a big hit symbol classified as symbol a is displayed on the second special symbol display device 14 with a fixed stop The jackpot game to be played is a jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “16” and a probability variation state is given after the game is ended (hereinafter, referred to as “16R probability variation jackpot”). In addition, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol E is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is set to “16 times” as the specified number of rounds. A jackpot game (hereinafter, referred to as “16R non-probability variable big hit”) in which no state is given (non-probability change state is given). In the 16R probability variation big hit and 16R non-probable big hit, “8 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “15 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In the 16R probability variation big hit and the 16R non-probability big hit, “25 (seconds)” is set as each round game time. Although not shown, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) at 16R probability variation big hit and 16R non-probability big hit is set to “2.5 (seconds)”.

  Also, after the end of the 16R-probable big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the 16R-probable big win, the variable state is given until the next big hit game is given (in FIG. 3, "until next time"). Is done. On the other hand, after the end of 16R non-probable big hit, regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the 16R non-probable big hit, until the execution of the “100 times” symbol variation game is finished (in FIG. 3, “100 times” is shown). In the meantime, a variable state is given.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol b is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 14 is set to “16 times” as the specified number of rounds, and the probability change state after the game ends. This is a jackpot game to be awarded (hereinafter referred to as “step-up jackpot”). The step-up jackpot is different from the 16R probability variation jackpot (or 16R non-probability variation jackpot) in the opening mode of the second grand prize opening 26 in the ninth round game. In the step-up jackpot, the second big prize opening door 25 of the second big prize opening 26 is opened a plurality of times (in this embodiment, nine times) in the ninth round game, and in the round games other than the ninth round. The second grand prize opening door 25 of the two big prize opening 26 is set to be opened “once”.

  In the step-up big hit, “8 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “15 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In addition, in the step-up jackpot, as the opening mode of the second grand prize winning opening 26 in the ninth round, the opening time of the first to eighth opening is “0.5 (second)”, and the opening time of the ninth time is “21 seconds”. "Is set respectively. In addition, after the first opening to the seventh opening, “2.5 (seconds)” is set as the interval time. In addition, after the eighth release, “4 (seconds)” is set as the interval time. As a result, the round game time for the ninth round of the step-up jackpot is “(0.5 (seconds) +2.5 (seconds)) × 7 + 0.5 (seconds) +4 (seconds) +21 (seconds)”. 46.5 (seconds) ". On the other hand, in round games other than the ninth round (1st to 8th round and 10th to 16th round) in the step-up jackpot game, the number of times the second grand prize winning opening 26 is opened is “1”. In addition, “25 (seconds)” is set as the round performance time. Each round game time (25 seconds) of round games other than the 9th round is the total opening time ((0.5 (seconds) × 8) +21 (seconds) = 25 seconds) of the grand prize winning opening 26 of the ninth round. The same time is set. The round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may be ended when a maximum number of game balls enter. Although not shown, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in step-up jackpot is set to “2.5 (seconds)”. In addition, after the step-up jackpot is over, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the step-up jackpot, a variable state is given until the next jackpot game is awarded (in FIG. 3, “until next time”). Is done.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol c is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display device 14 is set to “16 times” as the specified number of rounds, and the probability change state after the game ends. This is a jackpot game to be given (hereinafter referred to as “substantially 8R probability variation jackpot”). In addition, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol f is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 14 is set to “16 times” as the specified number of rounds, and the bonus game is changed after the game ends. A jackpot game with no state assigned (hereinafter referred to as “substantially 8R non-probable big hit”). In the real 8R probability variable big hit and the real 8R non-probable big hit, the opening mode of the second big winning opening 26 in the round game of the 9th to 16th rounds is different from the 16R positive variable big hit (or 16R non-probable big hit). In the actual 8R probability variation big hit and the actual 8R non-probable big hit, “8 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “8 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In addition, in the real 8R probability variation big hit and the real 8R non-probability big hit, “25 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of the first to eighth round games, and the ninth to sixteenth round games. As the round game time, “0.5 (seconds)” is set. Although not shown, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the actual 8R probability variation big hit and the actual 8R non-probability big hit is set to “2.5 (seconds)”. As a result, in the real 8R probable big hit and the real 8R non-probable big hit, the time until the second big prize opening 26 is closed in the 16th round after the second big prize opening 26 is closed in the round game of the ninth round ( 21.5 (seconds)) is the same as the time from the first opening of the second big prize opening 26 to the eighth closing in the ninth round of the step-up jackpot.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. However, the round game time after the 9th round (0.5 (seconds)) is that the number of game balls entering the second grand prize opening 26 in one round game is the upper limit number (10) ) Is set to a time that does not satisfy. By the way, in pachinko machines, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to about “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. That is, in the round game of the 9th to 16th rounds of the actual 8R probability variation big hit and the actual 8R non-probability big hit, within the round game time (0.5 (seconds)), “10 balls” that will be the upper limit number of entering balls It is difficult to launch and enter a game ball.

  In addition, after the actual 8R probability variable big hit, the variable state is given until the next big hit game is given regardless of the game state at the time of the real 8R probability variable big hit. On the other hand, after the actual 8R non-probable change big hit is over, regardless of the game state at the time of the real 8R non-probable big win, the variable state is given until the execution of the “100 times” symbol variation game is completed. That is, in this embodiment, after the end of the actual 8R probability variation big hit or the actual 8R non-probability big hit, which jackpot game has been given (whether the probability change state has been given) until at least 100 symbol variation games are played. ) Cannot be recognized from the provision of the variable state.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol D is displayed on the first special figure display device 12 as a fixed stop is set to “16 times” as the specified number of rounds. This is a jackpot game to be given (hereinafter referred to as “16R shortened probability variation jackpot”). In addition, in the 16R shortening probability variation big hit, “0.04 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “2.86 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In addition, in the 16R shortened probability variation big hit, “0.04 (seconds)” is set as each round game time. Further, “1.5 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between rounds in the 16R shortened probability variation big hit. In addition, when 16R shortened probability variation jackpot is awarded, if at least one of the probability variation state and the variation state is imparted when the 16R shortened probability variation jackpot is won, the next jackpot game is awarded after the 16R shortened probability variation jackpot ends. In the meantime, a variable state is given. On the other hand, when a 16R shortened probability variation jackpot is awarded, if neither the probability variation state nor the variation state is imparted when the big hit is won, the variation state is not imparted after the end of the 16R shortened probability variation jackpot (FIG. 3). Then, “0 times” is indicated).

  In the present embodiment, the value given to the player (a prize that can be expected to be acquired) is different between the 16R probability variation jackpot and the 16R shortened probability variation jackpot by changing the total round game time (opening time of the big winning openings 24 and 26). The number of spheres is different. Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the 16R probability variation big hit and the 16R shortened probability variation big hit, the value given to the player is higher in the 16R probability variation big hit, and the jackpot game is advantageous to the player. In addition, the value given to the player differs depending on the total round game time for the actual 8R probability variation jackpot and the 16R shortened probability variation jackpot. In the present embodiment, the actual 8R probability variation big hit and the 16R shortened probability variation big hit have a higher value given to the player, and the jackpot game is advantageous to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the number (type) of symbols classified into the 16R probability variable big hit (symbol a) among the big hit symbols that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special symbol display device 14 is the first special diagram display device 12. The number of symbols classified into the 16R probability variation big hit (symbol A) is larger than the big hit symbols displayed to be confirmed and stopped. That is, there is a higher possibility that the 16R probability variable big hit will be awarded in the case of the big win in the second symbol variation game than in the case of the big win in the first symbol variation game. As a result, when the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game are compared, the second symbol variation game is a symbol variation game that is more advantageous to the player.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since there is no symbol classified as 16R shortened probability variation big hit in the big hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display device 14 in a fixed stop display, when the big win is achieved in the second symbol variation game. Is not given a 16R shortened probability variation big hit. In other words, even if it is a big hit, the value is higher than the 16R shortened probability variable big hit in the case of a big hit than the first symbol variation game that may be given a 16R shortened probability variable big hit (for example, the actual 8R probability variable big hit) ) Is a symbol variation game that is more advantageous to the player. In addition, when the variable state is given, it becomes easier to win the game ball at the second start winning opening 21 than when the variable state is not given, and the second symbol variation game is easily executed. It is an advantageous state for the player that the variable state is given.

  In addition, in the small hit game that is given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol G is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 as a fixed stop display, “0 (seconds)” as the opening time is “ 2.90 (seconds) "is set for each. Further, in the small hit game, “16 times” is set as the number of times the first big winning opening 24 is opened. In addition, in the small hit game, the opening time of the first to 16th opening is set to “0.04 (seconds)”, and between each opening (for example, from the second opening to the third opening) "1.5 (seconds)" is set as the interval time. Thus, in the small hit game, the opening / closing time from the first opening to the 16th closing is “0.04 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds) +0.04 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds) + ... + 1 .5 (second) +0.04 (second) "is set to" 23.14 (second) ". As described above, the opening mode of the first big winning opening 24 is from the opening of the first round to the closing of the 16th round in the 16R shortening probability variation big hit and from the first opening to the closing of the 16th round in the small hit game. Are the same. For this reason, it is not possible to recognize whether the 16R shortened probability variation big hit or the small hit game has been awarded from the opening mode and the production time of the first big winning opening 24.

  Further, in the small hit game, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery (in FIG. 3, it is indicated as “maintain current state”). In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability variation state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game, whereas if the probability variation state is not granted, the small hit game The probability variation state is not given even after the end of. In addition, in the small hit game, if the variable state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the short state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game, while if the short state is not given Even after the small hit game ends, no change state is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a “probability change confirmation mode” for notifying the player that the probability change state is given is configured to be executable by the effect display device 11. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 is configured to be able to execute a “probability change suggestion mode” for notifying the player that the probability change state can be expected. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 executes a “normal effect mode” which is executed mainly when the probability variation state is not provided and notifies the player that the probability variation state is unlikely to be imparted. Configured to be executable. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, while staying in the normal performance mode, since the player is actually in a concealed state that does not let the player know whether or not the probability variation state is imparted, the probability variation state is imparted. The possibilities are not completely absent.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays the decorative symbols in each column so as to overlap the background image, and the decorative symbol game is executed by variably displaying these decorative symbols. Yes. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the player is made to know the type of the production mode currently staying at the player from the type of the background image displayed on the production display device 11, and the probability variation state is given. Whether or not it can be expected is notified, or the fact that the probability variation state is given is notified. The background image in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is an image that can be configured excluding the decorative symbols displayed in the symbol variation game. In addition, in FIG. 4, the mode transition aspect when the inside of the broken line part is not provided with the variable state is shown, and the mode transition aspect when the variable state is provided outside the broken line part is shown. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the normal effect mode is an effect mode that is executed (stays) when the variable state is not given. When the effect mode during execution (staying) is the normal effect mode, when a 16R probability change big hit or step-up big hit based on the symbol a is given, the game shifts to the probability change fixed mode after the big hit game ends. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, when a 16R probability variation jackpot based on the pattern A is given, the game shifts to the probability variation suggestion mode or the probability variation confirmation mode after the jackpot game ends. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, when a real 8R probability variation big hit, 16R non-probable big hit or real 8R non-probable big hit is given, the mode shifts to the probability change suggestion mode after the big hit game ends. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, if a 16R shortened probability change jackpot is given, after the jackpot game is over, there is a case where the mode changes to the probability change confirmation mode and the normal effect mode is continuously executed. . In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, when the small hit game is given, the normal effect mode is continuously executed after the end of the small hit game.

  In addition, the probability change confirmation mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variable state is given and can recognize that the probability change state is given. When the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, if the 16R probability change big hit (big hit game based on the symbols A and a) or the step-up jackpot is given, the probability change fixed mode is continuously executed after the big hit game ends. The In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, if a real 8R probability change big hit, 16R non-probability big hit or real 8R non-probability big hit is given, the mode shifts to the probability change suggestion mode after the big hit game ends. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, if a 16R shortened probability change big hit or small hit game is given, the probability change confirmation mode is continuously executed after the hit game ends.

  Further, the probability variation suggestion mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variation state is given. When the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode, when a 16R probability variation big hit or a step-up big hit is given, after the big hit game ends, the mode shifts to the probability change fixed mode. In addition, when the performance mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode, if a real 8R probability change big hit, 16R non-probability big hit or real 8R non-probable big hit is given, the probability change suggestion mode is continuously executed after the big hit game ends. . In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode, if a 16R shortened probability change big hit or small hit game is given, the probability change suggestion mode is continuously executed after the hit game ends. Further, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode, the transition to the normal effect mode is made when the provision of the variable state is completed.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control commands (control commands) according to the process results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 controls the display mode of the effect display device 11 (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) and various effect devices based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control CPU that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected so that various switches SW1 to SW5 can detect and output detection signals from the game balls. The main control CPU 30a includes a first special figure display device 12, a second special figure display device 14, a first special figure hold storage display device 13, a second special figure hold storage display device 15, and a normal symbol display device 17. Is connected.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets a random number value such as a hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern distribution random number, and a normal pattern determination random number for each predetermined period. Random number update processing (random number generation processing) to be updated is executed. The winning determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) and the small hit lottery (small hit determination). The special figure distribution random number is a random number used when determining the type of jackpot game to be given when the jackpot lottery is won. The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect in the symbol variation game when the big win lottery or the small win lottery is not won. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when a variation pattern is selected. In addition, the random number for determination per common figure is a random number used in the lottery per common figure (determination per common figure). The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program, various determination values (such as jackpot determination values), and a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that serves as a base for effects (display effects, light-emitting effects, sound effects) from the start of the symbol variation game to the end of the symbol variation game. The time (variation time) can be specified. Also, the variation pattern is determined when the variation pattern for the big hit effect determined at the big hit and the variation pattern for the probable change suggesting effect determined at the big hit or the small hit are out of place. There is a variation pattern for off-line production. Further, the variation pattern for the offense effect includes a variation pattern for the outlier reach effect including the reach effect in the effect content, and a variation pattern for the outlier normal effect not including the reach effect in the effect content.

  In addition, the reach effect is displayed in the symbol variation game with the ornamental symbol on the effect display device 11 until the reach symbol combination (the symbol combination that is a big hit, miss or probability change suggestion) is finally derived. It is a production performed during It should be noted that in the symbol variation game that is performed based on the variation pattern for the off-normal effect, the symbol combination of the eventual failure is developed so that the final symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state without going through the reach effect. Further, in the symbol variation game performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, the reach symbol effect is developed so that the symbol combination of the eventual event is finally stopped. Further, in the symbol variation game performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect, the reach combination is developed so that the symbol combination for the jackpot is finally displayed in a fixed stop state. Further, in the symbol variation game that is performed based on the variation pattern for the probability variation suggestion effect, it is developed so that the symbol combination for the probability variation suggestion is finally displayed in a fixed stop state after reaching the reach effect.

  The big control determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination. Further, the small hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not a small hit is made, and a value different from the big hit determination value is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination. The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the reach lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the reach determination random number. In the present embodiment, the number of reach determination values varies depending on the total value of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number. Incidentally, in this embodiment, when the total value of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is a large value, the number of reach determination values is smaller or the same as when the total value is a small value. The number of reach determination values for each total value of the number of reserved storage is determined. That is, in this embodiment, when the total value of each reserved memory number is large, the probability that the reach effect is executed is low or the same as compared with the case where the total value of each reserved memory number is small. A reach determination value is defined for each total value of the number of reserved memories. Further, the main control ROM 30b stores a standard hit value. The determination value per common figure is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not it is per common figure, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by random numbers for determination per general figure.

Next, the effect control board 31 shown in FIG. 5 will be described.
The effect control board 31 has an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The effect control CPU 31a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values at predetermined intervals. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image display data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes such as a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, and a general game process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes such as a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, and a normal game process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms).

First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start winning opening 19 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start opening switch SW1 (step S1). When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S5. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). . If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first reserved memory number = 4), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S5. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S2 is affirmative (first reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the stored first reserved memory number, and the first reserved memory number after the addition is main. The data is stored in the control RAM 30c (step S3). Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires various random number values (in this embodiment, the hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number value) from the main control RAM 30c. Then, the value of the random number is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the first reserved storage number (step S4).

  Next, as a process of step S5, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning port 21 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start port switch SW2. Determine. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S6). ). When the determination result of step S6 is negative (second reserved memory number = 4), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S6 is affirmative (second reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the stored second reserved memory number, and sets the second reserved memory number after addition to the main The data is stored in the control RAM 30c (step S7). Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires various random number values (in this embodiment, the hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number value) from the main control RAM 30c. Then, the random number is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the second reserved storage number (step S8), and the special symbol input process is terminated.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the special symbol start process, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a symbol variation game or a winning game (big hit game and small hit game) is being executed (step S11). If the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S11 is negative, that is, if the symbol variation game is not being played and the winning game is not being played, the main control CPU 30a reads the second reserved memory number (step S12), and the second reserved It is determined whether or not the stored number is greater than “0 (zero)” (step S13). When the determination result of step S13 is negative (second reserved memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a reads the first reserved memory number (step S14), and the first reserved memory number is “0 (zero)”. It is determined whether it is larger than (step S15). If the determination result of step S15 is negative (first stored memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (first reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 30a indicates a value indicating that the first symbol variation game is executed in the special symbol variation processing flag (this embodiment). Then, “0”) is set (step S16). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first reserved storage number (step S17), and the hit determination random number and special figure distribution stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “1”. The random number for use and the random number for distribution pattern distribution are acquired (step S18).

Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “2” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “1”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “2”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “3”. The values of various random numbers stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “4” are deleted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 30a that has finished the process of step S18 determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. Is determined and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed (step S19). At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the jackpot determination value at the time of probability change matches the acquired value of the random number for hit determination when the probability change state is given, and the probability change state is given. If not, it is determined whether the big hit determination value at the time of uncertain change matches the value of the acquired random number for hit determination. It should be noted that the number of jackpot determination values at the time of probability change is set to be larger than the number of jackpot determination values at the time of non-probability change.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S19 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a displays a fixed stop display on the first special figure display device 12 from the jackpot symbols based on the special symbols based on the acquired special figure distribution random number value. The final stop symbol to be made is determined (step S20). Further, the main control CPU 30a determines one variation pattern based on the determined final stop symbol and the variation pattern distribution random number (step S21).

Various processes related to the game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol at the time of the presentation time set in the designated variation pattern, and displays the determined final stop symbol as a fixed stop display. The display content of the display device 12 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 7, when the determination result of step S13 is affirmative (second reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 30a executes the second symbol variation game on the special symbol variation processing flag. (In this embodiment, “1”) is set (step S31). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second reserved memory number (step S32), and the hit determination random number and special figure distribution stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “1”. The random number for use and the random number for distribution pattern distribution are acquired (step S33).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the main control CPU 30a that has finished the process of step S33 determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. Is determined and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed (step S34). At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the jackpot determination value at the time of probability change matches the acquired value of the random number for hit determination when the probability change state is given, and the probability change state is given. If not, it is determined whether the big hit determination value at the time of uncertain change matches the value of the acquired random number for hit determination.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the second symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing (step S37). . Specifically, the main control CPU 30a specifies a variation pattern, and also designates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of a symbol variation game, and a game designation command for identifying a value set in the special symbol variation processing flag. Is output first. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display device 14 so as to display the special symbols in a variable manner. Further, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game and outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

One variation pattern is determined based on the value of the random number for distribution (step S40). The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, proceeds to the process of step S37 and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol at the final stop symbol when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S38 is negative, that is, when the reach effect is not executed in the out of symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a determines the out symbol as the final stop symbol (step S41). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines one variation pattern based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier normal effects (step S42). The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, proceeds to the process of step S37 and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing.

The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed. As described above, when the symbol variation game is a big hit in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that determines the type (special symbol) of the jackpot game to be given after the symbol variation game is over is used as the jackpot game determination means. Function. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that instructs the start and end of the execution of the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game functions as a game execution means.

Next, a winning game process executed by the main control CPU 30a after the symbol variation game won in the big hit lottery (or the small hit lottery) will be described.
In the winning game process, the main control CPU 30a first outputs an opening command for instructing execution of the opening effect to the effect control CPU 31a. Next, when the big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes each round game (in the case of a small hit game, the first to 16th opening / closing of the first big winning opening 24). Control the production in time). That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command instructing the start of the round game to the effect control CPU 31a at the start of each round game, and opens and closes the first grand prize winning port 24 or the second grand prize winning port 26. To control. Then, when the final round game (in the case of a small hit game, the opening of the 16th first big prize opening 24 in the case of a small hit game) is finished, the main control CPU 30a controls the ending command to instruct the execution of the ending effect. Output to the CPU 31a. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game or the small hit game when the ending effect ends.

  Also, the main control CPU 30a sets various main control setting flags and main control count limiter values stored in the main control RAM 30c after the outlier symbol variation game ends or after the winning game ends. In the main control number limiter, the number of symbol variation games to be executed before the provision of the variable state is completed is set. In addition, the main control setting flag includes a main control probability change flag for specifying a probability change state application mode, a main control operation flag for specifying a change state application mode, and a main control frequency limiter. And a subtraction flag for main control for specifying whether to subtract the value of. When the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol A, the symbol D, the symbol a, the symbol b, or the symbol c, the probability change state is given to the main control probability variation flag after the big hit game based on the symbol is completed. (In the present embodiment, “1”) is set. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol E or the symbol f, a value indicating that the probability variation state is not given to the main control probability variation flag after the big hit game based on the symbol (in this embodiment). , “0”). Further, the main control CPU 30a does not set a new value for the main control probability variation flag when the off symbol or the small hit symbol (symbol G) is determined.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol A, the symbol a, the symbol b or the symbol c, the main control CPU 30a performs the main control after the big hit game ends, regardless of the value set in the main control operation flag before the big hit game starts. A value (in this embodiment, “1”) indicating that the variable state is given to the operation flag is set. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a sets a value (in this embodiment, “1”) indicating that the value of the main control number limiter is not subtracted to the main control subtraction flag.

  Further, when determining the symbol E or symbol f, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the main control operation flag after the big hit game, regardless of the value set in the main control operation flag before the big hit game starts. "Is set. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a sets a value (in this embodiment, “0”) indicating that the value of the main control number limiter is subtracted in the main control subtraction flag, and sets “0” in the main control number limiter. 100 "is set.

  Further, when the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol D, if the value set in either the main control operation flag or the main control probability change flag before the big hit game is "1", the big hit game After completion, the main control operation flag is set to “1”. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the main control subtraction flag. On the other hand, when the symbol D is determined, the main control CPU 30a is set to “0” in both the main control operation flag and the main control probability variation flag before the big hit game starts, and after the big hit game ends. A value (in this embodiment, “0”) indicating that the variable state is not given to the main control operation flag is set.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 30a determines a lost symbol or a small hit symbol (symbol G), when the main control subtraction flag is set to “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the lost symbol variation game or the small hit game. At the end, 1 is subtracted from the value set in the main control frequency limiter. When the value of the main control number limiter after subtraction becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the main control subtraction flag and also changes the main control operation flag to the shortened state. Is set to a value (in this embodiment, “0”) indicating that is not assigned. In addition, when the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol or the small hit symbol, when the main control subtraction flag is set to “1”, new values are added to the main control frequency limiter and the main control operation flag. Is not set. Further, during the big hit game and the small hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the main control probability change flag and the main control operation flag.

  As described above, the main control CPU 30a can specify the presently given state of the certain change state and the present state of the change state by referring to the main control probability change flag and the main control operation flag. Also, the main control CPU 30a refers to the values set in the main control subtraction flag and the main control number limiter, so that the provision of the variable state is completed when the remaining number of symbol variation games are executed. Can be specified.

Next, the ordinary game process will be described.
First, in the normal game process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the gate 27 and a detection signal output from the normal symbol variation switch SW3 that has detected the game ball has been input. . When the determination result of execution determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal game process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a normal game or a game per normal game. When it is determined that the game is in the ordinary game or the game is in the ordinary game, the main control CPU 30a ends the ordinary game process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is not in the normal game and is not in the game per normal game, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number for determination per normal game from the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired universal figure determination random number matches the universal figure determination value. At this time, when the variable state is given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the per-normal map determination value at the time of the change corresponds to the acquired normal per-determined random number value. Make a decision. On the other hand, when the variable state is not given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the per-normal figure determination value at the time of non-change and the acquired random number for normal figure determination match. Make a decision. It should be noted that the number of judgment values per ordinary figure at the time of change is set larger than the number of judgment values per ordinary figure at the time of non-change. Further, in this embodiment, during the big hit game and the small hit game, the non-variable state is given regardless of the manner of giving the variable state before and after the hit game is finished (the variable state is not given). It has become. For this reason, during the big hit game (and the small hit game), the main control CPU 30a gives a general indication as to whether or not the normal figure hit value in the non-variable state matches the acquired random number for normal figure hit decision. Make a hit judgment.

  If the determination result of the normal symbol hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal hit symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 17 to be confirmed and stopped, and ends the normal symbol game process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the normal symbol hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal off symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display device 17, and ends the normal symbol game process.

  When the normal symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display device 17 is determined and the normal game processing is terminated, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 17 so that the normal symbol is variably displayed. Further, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display device 17 to display the fixed symbol determined in the general game processing on the normal symbol display device 17 when the fluctuation time of the normal game has elapsed. Note that the fluctuation time of the ordinary game in this embodiment is “1.1 (seconds)” when the variable state is assigned at the start of the general game, and “5” when the variable state is not assigned. (Seconds) "is set. In this embodiment, the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game cannot be executed at the same time, while the symbol variation game (the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game) and the ordinary symbol game can be performed simultaneously. It is.

Next, a description will be given of the control related to the game per game executed by the main control CPU 30a when the lottery per game is won.
The main control CPU 30a is assigned a variable state (when the normal control symbol is set to “1”) when the normal game per normal game ends (when the normal winning symbol is displayed in a fixed stop). If the opening / closing blade 22 is opened twice, the opening of the opening / closing blade 22 is controlled so that the opening state is maintained until “2.8 (seconds)” elapses after each opening. . On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the opening / closing blade 22 when the variable game state is not given at the end of the normal game per normal map ("0" is set in the main control operation flag). The opening and closing blades 22 are controlled so that the opening state is maintained until “0.3 (second)” has elapsed since the opening.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the game ball is placed on the game board 10 regardless of which of the first big prize opening 24 and the second big prize opening 26 is opened. Rolling it to the right side makes it easier for the game balls that have been launched to enter the grand prize opening. However, during the big hit game, since the short and short state is not given, the opening / closing blade 22 is rarely opened, and even if the game ball is continuously fired during the big hit game, The ball may not win. Therefore, if the second reserved memory number is “0” at the start of the big hit game, the second reserved memory number may be “0” even after the big hit game ends. In particular, since it is difficult to win a game ball at the second start winning opening 21 when the variable state is not given, if a big hit game is given when the short state is not given, after the big hit game ends There is a high possibility that the first symbol variation game will be executed.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the variation control designation command and the special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 determines a decoration symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the instruction content of the command. Hereinafter, the determination of the decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the design A or the design a is designated, the effect control CPU 31a is a jackpot symbol combination [111] [333] [555] [777] composed of an odd number of symbols and an even number. The decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped are determined from the jackpot symbol combinations [222], [444], [666], and [888]. In addition, when design A or design a is designated, the CPU 31a for effect control determines a jackpot symbol combination composed of an odd number of symbols with a probability of 50% as a decorative symbol to be displayed in a definite stop, with a probability of 50% The big-hit symbol combination composed of even-numbered symbols is determined as a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped. In addition, when design E, design b, design c or design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a includes a jackpot symbol combination [222] [444] [666] [888] composed of an even number of designs. The decoration pattern to be confirmed and stopped is determined. When the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination as the symbol pattern to be confirmed and stopped, the symbol control information that can identify the symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination is displayed until the jackpot game ends. And stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, when the symbol D or the small hit symbol (symbol G) is designated, the CPU 31a for effect control has a symbol combination [121] [232] [343] [454] [565] [676] [787] that suggests probability variation. From [818], a decorative pattern to be confirmed and stopped is determined. In addition, when the outlier design is designated and the variation pattern for the outlier reach production is designated, the effect control CPU 31a includes the outlier symbol combination including the reach symbol combination (for example, [323] [656]). A combination of symbols out of the range is determined. In addition, when the outlier design is designated and the variation pattern for the outlier normal production is designated, the effect control CPU 31a does not include the reach design combination (for example, [234] [566] or the like). ) To determine the pattern combination that is out of the range.

  Further, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to display the decorative symbols in each column in a variable manner and start the symbol variable game. Then, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs an all symbol stop command, the effect display device 11 causes the effect display device 11 to confirm and display the determined symbol combination of the decorative symbols. Further, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a game designation command, the symbol variation game being executed becomes the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game from the value set in the special symbol variation processing flag designated by the command. It is possible to specify which symbol variation game is selected.

  When the special designating command is input, the production control CPU 31a sets various production control setting flags and production control frequency limiter values stored in the production control RAM 31c. In the performance control frequency limiter, the number of symbol variation games to be executed before the provision of the variable state is completed is set. In addition, the production control setting flag includes a production control probability variation flag for identifying the probability variation state imparting mode, a performance control operation flag for identifying the variation state imparting mode, and a performance control frequency limiter. There is an effect control subtraction flag for specifying whether or not to subtract this value. When the design A, the design D, the design a, the design b or the design c is designated, the performance control CPU 31a is given a probability variation state to the performance control probability variation flag after the big hit game based on the design is completed. A value indicating this (in this embodiment, “1”) is set. On the other hand, when the design E or the design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a indicates that after the jackpot game based on the design is finished, a probability change state is not given to the performance control probability change flag (this embodiment). Then, “0”) is set. The effect control CPU 31a does not set a new value for the effect control probability variation flag when the off symbol or the small hit symbol (symbol G) is designated.

  In addition, when design A, design a, design b or design c is designated, the effect control CPU 31a produces an effect after the jackpot game ends, regardless of the value set in the effect control operation flag before the jackpot game starts. A value (in this embodiment, “1”) indicating that the variable state is given to the control operation flag is set. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value (“1” in the present embodiment) indicating that the value of the effect control frequency limiter is not subtracted to the effect control subtraction flag.

  In addition, when the symbol E or the symbol f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the effect control operation flag after the end of the jackpot game, regardless of the value set in the effect control operation flag before the start of the jackpot game. 1 ”is set. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value (“0” in this embodiment) indicating that the value of the effect control frequency limiter is subtracted to the effect control subtraction flag, and sets “0” in the effect control frequency limiter. 100 "is set.

  Further, when the symbol D is designated, the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit game when “1” is set in either the effect control operation flag or the effect control probability change flag before the big hit game is started. Later, “1” is set to the effect control operation flag. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets “1” to the effect control subtraction flag. On the other hand, when the symbol D is designated, the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit game when “0” is set in both the effect control operation flag and the effect control probability change flag before the big hit game starts. Later, a value (in this embodiment, “0”) indicating that the variable state is not given to the effect control operation flag is set.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a, when the off symbol or the small hit symbol (symbol G) is designated, and when the effect control subtraction flag is set to “0”, when the off symbol changing game ends or the small hit At the end of the game, 1 is subtracted from the value set in the production control frequency limiter. When the value of the effect control frequency limiter after the subtraction becomes “0”, the effect control CPU 31a sets “1” to the effect control subtraction flag, and the effect control operation flag is changed to the reduced state. Is set to a value (in this embodiment, “0”) indicating that is not assigned. In addition, when the off symbol or the small hit symbol is designated and the production control subtraction flag is set to “1”, the production control CPU 31a adds a new value to the production control frequency limiter and the production control operation flag. Do not set a value.

  Thus, the CPU 31a for production control can specify the application mode of the probability change state and the application mode of the change mode at the present time by referring to the effect control probability change flag and the effect control operation flag. Further, the effect control CPU 31a refers to the value set in the effect control subtraction flag and the effect control frequency limiter, so that the provision of the variable state is completed when the remaining number of symbol variation games is executed. Can be specified.

  In the present embodiment, during the opening effect or round effect in the big hit game or the small hit game (in the small hit game, the effect from the first opening of the first big prize opening 24 to the 16th closing), during the ending effect The presentation effect is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, when a 16R probability variation big hit, 16R non-probable big hit, step-up big hit, real 8R positive variation big hit or real 8R non-probable big hit is given, during the round production in the big hit game, the production display device 11 Promotion promotion is executed. In the promotion effect, the effect result is derived, and whether or not the probability change state is given after the end of the given jackpot game is notified according to the effect result derived in the promotion effect. The effect result of the promotion effect in the present embodiment includes an effect result that can be recognized that a probable state is given after the end of the given jackpot game (hereinafter, may be referred to as “first effect result”), There are two types of effect results that are unrecognizable as to whether or not the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is given (hereinafter, may be referred to as “second effect result”). In addition, in the effect contents of the promotion effect in the present embodiment, the first promotion effect executed during the jackpot game in which the first symbol variation game is awarded as a big hit, and the second symbol variation game becomes a big hit. There are two types, a second promotion effect that is executed during the given jackpot game. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot game based on the symbol A (16R probability variation jackpot) or the jackpot game based on the symbol E (16R non-probability variation jackpot) is awarded, the first promotion effect is executed on the effect display device 11. It has become so. On the other hand, a jackpot game based on the symbol a (16R probability variable jackpot), a jackpot game based on the symbol b (step-up jackpot), a jackpot game based on the symbol c (substantial 8R probability variable jackpot) or a jackpot game based on the symbol f (substantial 8R non-subject) When the probable big hit is given, the second promotion effect is executed on the effect display device 11.

  In the first promotion effect, the teammate character MC and the enemy character TC1 appear and have an effect content for confrontation. In the first promotion effect, the effect result that the teammate character MC attacks the enemy character TC1 and wins the confrontation becomes the first effect result, and the effect result that the teammate character MC receives the attack of the enemy character TC1 and defeats the confrontation. Becomes the second performance result. Further, in the second promotion effect, the teammate character MC and the enemy character TC2 appear and have an effect content for confrontation. In the second promotion effect, the effect result that the teammate character MC attacks the enemy character TC2 and wins the confrontation becomes the first effect result, and the effect result that the teammate character MC receives the attack of the enemy character TC2 and defeats the confrontation. Becomes the second performance result. The first effect result in the second promotion effect includes the content that the ally character MC attacks the enemy character TC2 and wins the confrontation (complete victory type first effect result), and the ally character MC is the enemy character TC2. There are two types of contents (first reverse result of reverse victory type) in which the teammate character MC attacks the enemy character TC2 and wins the confrontation after receiving the attack.

Hereinafter, the aspect of determining the effect result of the promotion effect will be described.
When design A or design E is designated, the performance control CPU 31a, when the jackpot game is started (when an opening command is input), the first promotion result and the performance result of the first promotion effect executed during the jackpot game are designated as the first performance result. Which of the two production results is determined is determined. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the effect control CPU 31a is a case where the effect control operation flag is set to “0”, the symbol A is designated, and the jackpot is determined from the decorative symbol information. When it is specified that the symbol constituting the symbol combination is an odd number of symbols, the first effect result (“win”) is determined as the effect result of the first promotion effect. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a is a case where the effect control operation flag is set to “0”, the symbol A is designated, and the symbol constituting the jackpot symbol combination from the ornament symbol information is an even symbol. When it is specified, the first effect result is determined with a probability of 56% as the effect result of the first promotion effect, and the second effect result (“defeat”) is determined with a probability of 44%. The effect control CPU 31a determines the second effect result as the effect result of the first promotion effect when the effect control operation flag is set to “0” and the symbol E is designated. To do. When the symbol E is designated, the symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination that can be specified from the decorative symbol information are even symbols.

  The effect control CPU 31a displays a decoration when the symbol A is designated when "1" is set in the effect control operation flag (when a variable state is given at the time of the big win lottery win). The first effect result is determined as the effect result of the first promotion effect regardless of the types of symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination that can be specified from the symbol information. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines the second effect result as the effect result of the first promotion effect when the symbol E is designated when the effect control operation flag is set to “1”. To do. Further, the effect control CPU 31a stores the promotion information that can specify the effect result of the promotion effect in the effect control RAM 31c until the promotion information is stored again when the effect result of the first promotion effect is determined.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the 16R probability variable big hit is given after the jackpot game is finished, the first effect result can be determined as the effect result of the first promotion effect, while the jackpot game When a 16R non-probable big hit that is not given a probability change state after the end is given, the first effect result is not determined as the effect result of the first promotion effect. Therefore, when the effect result of the first promotion effect is the first effect result, it is possible to recognize that the probability variation state is provided after the assigned jackpot game is ended. In the present embodiment, the execution of the first promotion effect and the second promotion effect for deriving the first effect result is “execution of the notification effect”.

  In addition, when design a, design b, design c, or design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a outputs the effect result of the second promotion effect executed during the jackpot game at the start of the jackpot game, A determination is made as to which of the effect results of the first effect of the complete victory type and the reverse victory type) and the second effect result. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the effect control CPU 31a configures a jackpot symbol combination that can be specified from the value set in the effect control operation flag and the decorative symbol information when the symbol a is designated. Regardless of the type of symbol to be performed, the first victory result of the complete victory type is determined as the effect result of the second promotion effect. In addition, when the design b is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the second regardless of the types of symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination that can be identified from the value set in the effect control operation flag and the decorative symbol information. As the effect result of the promotion effect, the first effect result of the reverse victory type is determined. In addition, when design c or design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a is irrelevant to the value of the effect control operation flag set or the type of symbol constituting the jackpot symbol combination that can be specified from the decorative symbol information. The second effect result is determined as the effect result of the second promotion effect. The effect control CPU 31a stores the promotion information that can specify the effect result of the promotion effect in the effect control RAM 31c until the promotion information is stored again when the effect result of the second promotion effect is determined.

  In this way, as the maximum time for which the second grand prize winning opening 26 is opened in all the round games from the first round to the sixteenth round, the game balls corresponding to the upper limit number of winning balls are awarded to the second grand prize winning opening 26. When a 16R probability variation jackpot or step-up jackpot with a settable time is given, the first effect result is determined as the effect result of the second promotion effect. On the other hand, in the round games from the 9th to the 16th round, as the maximum time for the second grand prize opening 26 to be opened, the game balls corresponding to the upper limit number of balls to be entered into the second grand prize opening 26 are awarded. When a real 8R probability change big hit or a real 8R non-probability big hit with a difficult time is given, the second effect result is determined as the effect result of the second promotion effect. Therefore, when the effect result of the second promotion effect is the first effect result, the game balls corresponding to the upper limit number of winning balls are won in the second grand prize opening 26 in all the round games of the jackpot game that is given. It is possible to recognize that a jackpot that can be made is given. In addition, the jackpot game (symbol a and symbol b) in which the first effect result is determined as the effect result of the second promotion effect is given a probable change state after the end of the jackpot game.

  Thereby, when the effect result of a 2nd promotion effect is a 1st effect result, it can recognize that a probability change state is provided after completion | finish of the jackpot game currently provided. On the other hand, in the jackpot game (symbol c and symbol f) in which the second effect result is determined as the effect result of the second promotion effect, the jackpot game (symbol c) in which the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Then, there is a big hit game (symbol f) to which the probability variation state is not given after the big hit game ends. In other words, when the effect result of the second promotion effect is the second effect result, it is not possible to recognize whether or not the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is given. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect result of the second promotion effect as one type of effect result corresponding to each type of special symbol. Since the type of jackpot game that is given according to the giving state of the variable state is not changed, the second promotion is made depending on whether or not the variable state is given when the second symbol variation game is executed. The selection mode of the effect result of the effect is not changed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that determines whether or not to derive the first effect result as the effect result of the promotion effect functions as the effect execution determining means.

Hereinafter, the control performed by the effect control CPU 31a according to the execution of the effect during the jackpot game including the promotion effect will be described.
When the opening command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute an opening effect with a predetermined effect content. In addition, when the first round command is input, the effect control CPU 31a includes a promotion effect until the final round game ends (in the small hit game, the 16th closing of the first big prize opening 24). The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute a round effect with a predetermined effect content. When the design A or the design E is designated, the effect control CPU 31a executes the first promotion effect during each round game. In addition, when the design a, the design b, the design c, or the design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a executes the second promotion effect during each round game. Hereinafter, specific control related to the execution of the promotion effects (the first promotion effect and the second promotion effect) will be described.

  When executing the first promotion effect, the effect control CPU 31a executes a predetermined effect for the first promotion effect during the first to tenth round games in the jackpot game based on the symbol A or E. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. Specifically, when the teammate MC wins a confrontation with the enemy character TC1 during the round game of the first to the tenth rounds, the effect control CPU 31a is surely given a certain change state after the end of the big hit game. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the effect with the contents explaining the above.

  Then, during the round game from the 11th round to the 16th round in the jackpot game based on the design A or the design E, the production control CPU 31a executes the production having the content according to the production result that can be specified from the promotion information. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. Specifically, when the performance result that can be specified from the promotion information is the first performance result, the performance control CPU 31a performs the performance of the content that the teammate character MC attacks the enemy character TC1 and wins the confrontation. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. On the other hand, when the production result that can be specified from the promotion information is the second production result, the production control CPU 31a produces the production with the content that the teammate character MC is defeated by the enemy character TC1. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled.

  In addition, when executing the second promotion effect, the effect control CPU 31a performs a predetermined first round game during the first to sixth round games in the jackpot game based on the symbol a, the symbol b, the symbol c, or the symbol f. 2 The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute an effect dedicated to the promotion effect. Specifically, when the teammate MC wins a confrontation with the enemy character TC2 during the round game of the first to sixth rounds, the production control CPU 31a is surely given a certain change state after the big hit game ends. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the effect with the contents explaining the above.

  Then, the CPU 31a for effect control has contents corresponding to the effect result that can be specified from the promotion information during the round game from the seventh round to the eighth round in the jackpot game based on the symbol a, the symbol b, the symbol c, or the symbol f. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the effect. Specifically, when the production result that can be specified from the promotion information is the complete victory type first production result, the production control CPU 31a produces the production of the content that the teammate character MC attacks the enemy character TC2. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to be executed. On the other hand, the production control CPU 31a, when the production result identifiable from the promotion information is the first production result or the second production result of the reverse victory type, the teammate character MC is attacked by the enemy character TC2. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the effect.

  In addition, the effect display CPU 11a performs an effect with a content for notifying that a probable change state is given after the end of the jackpot game during the round game after the ninth round in the jackpot game based on the symbol a. Controls the display content of. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the effect of notifying that the teammate character MC has won the confrontation with the enemy character TC2. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a performs the period from the first opening to the ninth opening of the second big winning opening 26 of the ninth round game in the big hit game based on the design b, and the design c or the design. In the round game of the 9th to 16th rounds in the jackpot game based on f, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the same content effect is performed. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the effect of the content that the teammate character MC is defeated by the attack. Then, the effect control CPU 31a ends the jackpot game from the start of the ninth opening of the second big prize opening 26 in the ninth round game of the jackpot game based on the symbol b to the end of the jackpot game. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the effect of the content for informing that the probability variation state will be given later. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the effect of the content that the teammate character MC stands up and attacks the enemy character TC2 to win the confrontation.

  In addition, when the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute an ending effect having a predetermined effect content.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31 a controls the execution of each effect mode executed by the effect display device 11. Hereinafter, control related to the execution of the effect mode executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described.

  When the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode (when the normal effect mode is set as the effect mode), when the symbol a or the symbol b is designated, the effect control CPU 31a The probability variation confirmation mode is set as the mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the probability variation confirmation mode. At this time, the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information is the first effect result. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a can specify that the design A is specified and the effect result of the promotion effect is the first effect result from the promotion information. After the 16R probability variation big hit, the probability variation confirmation mode is set as the effect mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the probability variation confirmation mode. On the other hand, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a can specify that the design A is specified and the effect result of the promotion effect is the second effect result from the promotion information. In such a case, after the 16R probability variation big hit, the probability variation suggestion mode is set as the effect mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the probability variation suggestion mode.

  In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode and the probability variation state is given and the symbol D is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability variation confirmation mode as the effect mode after the big hit game is finished. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to set and execute the probability change confirmation mode. On the other hand, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode and the probability variation state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode as the effect mode after the jackpot game ends, and continues to execute the normal effect mode. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode and the design E, the design c, or the design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change suggestion mode as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the probability change suggestion mode. At this time, the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information is the second effect result. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode as the effect mode after the end of the small hit game when the small hit symbol (design G) is designated. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the normal effect mode is continuously executed.

  Further, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, when the symbol A, the symbol a or the symbol b is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change confirmation mode as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to continue to execute the probability change confirmation mode. Note that the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information at this time is the first effect result because the change state is given when the certainty change confirmation mode is executed. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change confirmation mode as the effect mode after the winning game is finished and the probability change confirmation mode when the symbol D or the small hit symbol is designated when the effect mode being executed is the probability variation confirmation mode. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to continuously execute the mode. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change suggestion mode as the effect mode after the big hit game when the symbol E, the symbol c, or the symbol f is designated when the effect mode being executed is the probability variation confirmation mode, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the probability change suggestion mode. At this time, the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information is the second effect result.

  In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode and the symbol A, symbol a, or symbol b is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change confirmation mode as the effect mode after the big hit game, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the probability change confirmation mode. Note that the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information at this time is the first effect result because the change state is given when the probability change suggestion mode is executed. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode and the symbol D or the small hit symbol is specified, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change suggestion effect mode as the effect mode after the winning game ends, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to continue the suggestion effect mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode and the symbol E, symbol c or symbol f is specified, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change suggestion mode as the effect mode after the big hit game, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the probability change suggestion mode is continuously executed. At this time, the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information is the second effect result. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change suggestion mode, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode as the effect mode when the value of the effect control frequency limiter after subtraction becomes “0”. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to set and execute the normal effect mode. As described above, the effect control CPU 31a for setting various effect modes functions as effect mode setting means in the present embodiment.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a jackpot game (hereinafter simply referred to as “probability jackpot game”) in which a probability change state is given and a promotion effect is given after the jackpot game ends is given. The probability that the first effect result is derived in the promotion effect during the big hit game will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, even if the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not granted is a big hit, and the 16R probability variable big hit is given as a trigger, the first promotion The second effect result may be derived as the effect result of the effect. On the other hand, when the first symbol variation game executed when the shortage state is given becomes a big hit, and when the 16R probability variable big hit is given as a trigger, the effect of the first promotion effect As a result, the first performance result is always derived. That is, when the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is given is a big hit, and the first promotion effect is executed in the big hit game given as a trigger (16R probability variable big hit or When the 16R non-probability big hit is awarded), it is possible to reliably recognize the manner in which the probability change state after the big hit game is ended from the effect result of the first promotion effect. In other words, if the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is given is a big hit, and if the 16R probability variable big hit or 16R non-probable big hit is given as a trigger, the probability change state after the big hit game ends The probability of concealing the application mode is 0%. In other words, when the shortage state is given, the first symbol variation game is a big hit and a probable big hit game is given, and the first effect result is derived as a result of the promotion effect during the big hit game, and the big hit As shown in FIG. 13, the probability that the probability variation state is notified after the game is finished is 100%.

  On the other hand, the probability that the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not given will be a big hit and the 16R non-probable big hit will be given is 25%. When the variable state is not given, the first symbol variation game is a big hit, and when the probable big hit game is given, the first effect result is not derived as the effect result of the first promotion effect (the second effect result is The probability of (derived) is 22% (0.5 × 0.44 × 100%). Incidentally, a value of “0.5” in the calculation formula is a probability (50%) that a jackpot symbol combination constituted by an even number of symbols as a decorative symbol to be confirmed and displayed is determined.

  The probability that the second effect result is derived as the effect result of the first promotion effect when the first symbol variation game is a big hit when the variable state is not given and the probable big hit game is given is 22 % Means that the probability that the first performance result is derived is 78%. That is, when the variable state is not given, the first symbol variation game is a big hit and a probable big hit game is given, and the first effect result is derived as a result of the promotion effect during the big hit game, and the big hit game As shown in FIG. 13, the probability that the probability variation state is notified after the completion is 78%.

  In this way, the probability that the first symbol variation game is a big hit and the probability variation big hit game is given and the first effect result is derived as the result of the promotion effect during the big hit game is the probability that the first symbol variation game is derived. The case where it is executed when the variable state is given is higher than the case where it is executed when the variable state is not given.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the probability that the real 8R probability variable big hit and the real 8R non-probable big hit will be determined is 30% (5% + 25%). is there. That is, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the probability of concealing the probability change state after the big hit game given by the big hit is hidden is 30%. In other words, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit, there is a probability that it will be notified that a promiscuous state is given after the big hit game given by the big hit (the probability that the first effect result is derived) ) Is 70%.

  In addition, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the probability that the big hit symbol classified as the symbol a, the symbol b, or the symbol c, which becomes a probable big hit game, is 75% (the symbol a, the symbol). 75 types of jackpot symbols classified into b and symbol c). In addition, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the probability that the symbol c (a jackpot symbol that is determined to derive the second effect result as the effect result of the second promotion effect) is determined is 5%. (5 types of jackpot symbols classified into symbol c). As a result, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit and a probable big hit game is awarded, the first effect result is not derived in the second promotion effect, and a probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. The probability of not being notified is about 7% ((0.05 / 0.75) × 100). In other words, when the second symbol variation game is a big hit and a probable big hit game is awarded, the first effect result is derived in the second promotion effect, and a probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. The probability of being about 93% as shown in FIG.

  In this way, the probability that the probability variation big hit game is given and the first production result is derived in the promotion effect during the big hit game is the probability that the symbol variation game that triggered the probability variation big hit game is changed. The case of the second symbol variation game is higher than the case of the first symbol variation game executed when the short state is not given. In addition, the probability that the probability variation jackpot game is given and the first effect result is derived in the promotion effect during the jackpot game is that the symbol variation game that triggered the probability variation jackpot game is in a shortage state. Is lower in the case of the second symbol variation game than in the case of the first symbol variation game executed when the symbol is given.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the first symbol variation game is a big hit and the probability variation big hit game (big hit game based on the symbol A) is awarded, when the variable state is given at the time of the execution of the first symbol variation game, Compared to the case where the variable state is not given when the first symbol variation game is executed, the notification effect is easily executed (the first effect result is easily derived by the promotion effect). For this reason, the 2nd symbol variation game is configured so that a big hit game that is more advantageous than the 1st symbol variation game is easily given, and when the variable state is given, when the short state is not given. In the gaming machine in which the second symbol variation game is easy to be executed, when the variable variation state is granted, when the probability variation big hit game is granted in the first symbol variation game, when the variation state is not imparted There is an advantage that the notification effect is easily executed as compared with the case where the probability variation big hit game is given in the first symbol variation game. Therefore, even if the first symbol variation game is executed when the variable state is given, it can be expected that the first symbol variation game will be a big hit, and the interest in the game will be increased. Can be improved.

  (2) When a probable big hit game (a big hit game based on the symbol A) is given in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not given, the probable big hit in the second symbol variation game The probability that the notification effect is executed (the first effect result is derived by the promotion effect) is lower than when the game (the jackpot game based on the symbol a, the symbol b, or the symbol c) is given. On the other hand, when a probable big hit game (a big hit game based on the symbol A) is given in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is given, the probable big hit in the second symbol variation game The probability that the notification effect is executed is higher than when a game (a jackpot game based on symbol a, symbol b, or symbol c) is awarded. That is, normally (when the variable state is not given), the first effect result is more easily derived in the promotion effect when the probability variation big hit game is given in the second symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the short state is given (a state in which the second symbol variation game is easy to be executed), the probability variation big hit game is awarded in the first symbol variation game which is disadvantageous than the second symbol variation game. The first effect result is more easily derived in the promotion effect. That is, when the probability variation big hit game is awarded in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is granted, the probability that the first effect result is derived in the promotion effect is the first symbol variation. There is a merit that it becomes higher than the case where the probability variation big hit game is given in the second symbol variation game which is more advantageous than the game. For this reason, even when the first symbol variation game is executed when the variable state is given, it can be expected that the first symbol variation game will be a big hit, and the interest in the game will be enhanced. Can be improved.

  (3) When the variable state is not given, when a probable big hit game (big hit game based on symbol a, symbol b or symbol c) is granted in the second symbol variation game, in the first symbol variation game The notification effect is easier to be executed than when the probable big hit game (the big hit game based on the pattern A) is given (the first effect result is easily derived by the promotion effect). In other words, when the variable state is not given, if the probable big hit game is awarded in the second symbol variation game, “the probability is changed in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not granted. A privilege such as “a notification effect is easier to execute than when a big hit game is awarded” is given. In addition, when the variable state is given, if the probable big hit game is given in the first symbol variation game, the probable big hit is given in the second symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not given. Similar to the case where a game is given, for example, “the notification effect is easier to be executed than when the probable big hit game is given in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not given”. Benefits are given. In other words, when the probability variation big hit game is given in the first symbol variation game when the variable state is given, the probability variation big hit game is performed in the second symbol variation game which is more advantageous than the first symbol variation game. Since the privilege similar to the case where it is given is given, the interest with respect to a game can be improved.

  (4) When a probability variation jackpot game (a jackpot game based on symbol a, symbol b or symbol c) is awarded in the second symbol variation game, a variation state is imparted when the second symbol variation game is executed. Regardless of whether or not it is performed, the execution of the notification effect (derived the first effect result by the promotion effect) is determined with the same predetermined probability. Incidentally, the predetermined probability is a probability that a special symbol (symbol a and symbol b) for which execution of the notification effect is determined is determined. Because of this, the execution probability of the notification effect when the probable big hit game is given depends on whether or not the variable state is given at the time of execution of the big symbol change game, the second symbol fluctuation This is a specification unique to the first symbol variation game, which is not in the game. Therefore, even if the first symbol variation game is a big hit when the variable state is given, there is a merit that a specification that can only be experienced in the first symbol variation game can be experienced. Can be prevented.

(5) Since the notification effect is executed during the jackpot game that triggers the probability change state (the first effect result is derived), it is recognized which jackpot game will be given the probability change state. It becomes easy to let you. Further, since it is possible to recognize that the probability variation state is given by executing the notification effect (the first effect result is derived), the first symbol variation game is a big hit when the variable state is given. Thus, even during the jackpot game that has been granted, the interest of the player can be improved.
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment in which the invention is embodied will be described with reference to FIGS. The same configurations as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and detailed description and drawings are omitted.

  The types of jackpot games given in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, but the period during which the variable state is given after each jackpot game is different. Hereinafter, in the second embodiment, a period during which the variable state is given after the end of each jackpot game will be described with reference to FIG.

  When a jackpot game based on symbol A or symbol a (16R probability variation jackpot) is awarded, after the jackpot game is over, until the execution of the 100 symbol variation games is finished, a variable state is given. It has become. In addition, when a big hit game based on the symbol E (16R non-probable big hit) is awarded, after the big hit game is finished, until the execution of the 100 symbol variation games is finished, a variable state is given. It has become. That is, when a big hit game based on the design A or the design E with the same opening mode of the big winning opening 24 in the big hit game is given, the change mode given after the big hit game is finished It is impossible to recognize which of the special symbols out of the symbols E and the bonus game based on the special symbol is given. That is, it is not possible to recognize whether or not the probability variation state has been imparted from the provision state of the variation state after the end of the big hit game. In addition, when a jackpot game based on the symbol b (step-up jackpot) is awarded, a variable state is given until the execution of the 100 symbol variation games is finished after the jackpot game ends. ing.

  Also, when a big hit game based on the symbol c (substantially 8R probability variation big hit) is awarded, after the big hit game is finished, the variable state is given until the execution of the 100 symbol variation games is finished. It has become. In addition, when a big hit game based on the symbol f (substantially 8R non-probable big hit) is awarded, after the big hit game is finished, the variable state is given until the execution of the 100 symbol variation games is completed. It has become. That is, when a big hit game based on the design c or the design f with the same opening mode of the second big prize opening 26 during the big hit game is given, It is impossible to recognize which of the symbols c and symbols f has been awarded with the special jackpot game. That is, it is not possible to recognize whether or not the probability variation state has been imparted from the provision state of the variation state after the end of the big hit game.

  In addition, when a jackpot game based on the symbol D (16R shortened probability variation jackpot) is awarded, when the first symbol variation game that is the trigger for granting the jackpot game is executed, when the varying state is not granted After the jackpot game is over, no change state is given. On the other hand, if a jackpot game based on the symbol D is awarded, the bonus game ends when the variable state is given when the first symbol variation game that is the trigger for granting the jackpot game is executed. Thereafter, the variable state is given until the execution of 100 symbol variation games is completed.

  Next, the control related to the setting of the main control operation flag, the main control subtraction flag, and the main control count limiter performed by the main control CPU 30a after the end of the out-of-order symbol variation game or after the winning game ends. explain.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol A, the symbol E, the symbol a, the symbol b, the symbol c or the symbol f, regardless of the value set in the main control operation flag before the big hit game is started, the big hit game After completion, the main control operation flag is set to “1”. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the main control subtraction flag and sets “100” to the main control frequency limiter. In addition, when the symbol D is determined, the main control CPU 30a sets the main control operation flag to “1” after the big hit game ends when the value set in the main control operation flag before the big hit game is “1”. 1 ”is set. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the main control subtraction flag and sets “100” to the main control frequency limiter. In addition, when the symbol D is determined, the main control CPU 30a sets the main control operation flag to "0" after the big hit game ends when the value set in the main control operation flag before the big hit game is "0". Set to “0”.

  Also, the control related to the setting of the value of the effect control operation flag, the effect control subtraction flag, and the effect control frequency limiter performed by the effect control CPU 31a after the end of the off-figure symbol variation game or after the winning game ends. To do.

  When design A, design E, design a, design b, design c, or design f is designated, the effect control CPU 31a is a big hit regardless of the value set in the effect control operation flag before the big hit game is started. After the game ends, “1” is set to the effect control operation flag. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets “0” to the effect control subtraction flag and sets “100” to the effect control frequency limiter. In addition, when the symbol D is specified, the effect control CPU 31a sets the effect control operation flag to the effect control operation flag after the end of the big hit game when the value set in the effect control operation flag before the start of the big hit game is "1". Set “1”. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets “0” to the effect control subtraction flag and sets “100” to the effect control frequency limiter. Further, when the symbol D is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the effect control operation flag after the end of the big hit game when the value set in the effect control operation flag before the start of the big hit game is "0". Set “0”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, a “special effect mode” for notifying that the variable state is assigned or the certain change state is assigned can be executed by the effect display device 11. Has been. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 executes a “normal effect mode” which is executed mainly when the probability variation state is not provided and notifies the player that the probability variation state is unlikely to be imparted. Configured to be executable. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, while staying in the normal performance mode, since the player is actually in a concealed state that does not let the player know whether or not the probability variation state is imparted, the probability variation state is imparted. The possibilities are not completely absent.

  In the present embodiment, the normal effect mode is an effect mode that is executed (stays) when the variable state is not given. When the effect mode during execution (staying) is the normal effect mode, if a big hit game based on the symbol A, the symbol E, the symbol a, the symbol b, the symbol c, or the symbol f is given, Transition to production mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, when the big hit game based on the symbol D or the small hit game based on the symbol G is given, the normal effect mode is continuously executed after the end of the hit game.

  In addition, the special effect mode is an effect mode that can be executed when the variable state is applied and can also be executed when the variable state is not applied. When the effect mode being executed is the special effect mode, if the jackpot game based on the symbol A, the symbol E, the symbol a, the symbol b, the symbol c, or the symbol f is given, the special effect mode continues after the jackpot game ends. Executed. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the special effect mode, when the big hit game based on the symbol D or the small hit game based on the symbol G is given, the special effect mode is continuously executed after the end of the hit game. Also, when the effect mode being executed is the special effect mode and the provision of the variable state is finished, the big hit game based on the previous symbol A, symbol E, symbol a, symbol b, symbol c or symbol f When the effect result derived from the promotion effect executed at the time is the first effect result, the special effect mode is continuously executed. On the other hand, when the effect mode being executed is the special effect mode and the provision of the variable state is finished, the big hit based on the previous symbol A, symbol E, symbol a, symbol b, symbol c or symbol f When the effect result derived by the promotion effect executed during the game is the second effect result, the process shifts to the normal effect mode.

Hereinafter, control related to the setting of various effect modes performed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described.
When the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode (when the normal effect mode is set as the effect mode), the effect control CPU 31a performs design A, design E, design a, design b, design c or design f. Is designated, after the big hit game ends, the special effect mode is set as the effect mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the special effect mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode and the symbol D or the small hit symbol (symbol G) is designated, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode as the effect mode after the winning game ends. Then, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the normal effect mode is continuously executed.

  In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the special effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a, when design A, design D, design E, design a, design b, design c, design f or design G is designated, After the big hit game ends, the special effect mode is set as the effect mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to continuously execute the special effect mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the special effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a is stored in the effect control RAM 31c when the value of the effect control frequency limiter after subtraction becomes “0”. Refer to the promotion information. Then, when it can be specified that the first effect result has been derived from the promotion information based on the promotion information, the effect control CPU 31a sets the special effect mode as the effect mode, and continues to execute the special effect mode. The display content of the display device 11 is controlled. On the other hand, when it is possible to specify that the second effect result has been derived from the promotion information based on the promotion information, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode as the effect mode and executes the normal effect mode. The display content of the display device 11 is controlled.

  Here, the effect mode after the promotion effect is executed in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Also, FIGS. 16A to 16C show an effect mode in the case where, after the big hit game is over, even if at least 100 symbol variation games are executed, the big hit is not made. FIG. 16 (a) shows the effect mode after the end of the 16R probability variation jackpot in which the first effect result is derived as the effect result of the promotion effect. FIG. 16B shows an effect mode after the end of the 16R non-probable big hit in which the second effect result is derived as the effect result of the promotion effect. Moreover, FIG.16 (c) shows the production | presentation aspect after the 16R probability variation big hit end from which the 2nd production result was derived | led-out as a production result of a promotion production.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (a), when a 16R probability variation jackpot is awarded and the first effect result is derived in the promotion effect during the jackpot game, the symbol variation game is executed 100 times after the jackpot game ends. When finished, the provision of the variable state is finished. On the other hand, even if the execution of 100 symbol variation games is completed, the special effect mode is continuously executed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), when a 16R uncertain variable big hit is awarded and the second production result is derived in the promotion production during the big hit game, 100 symbol variation games after the big hit game ends. When the execution of is finished, the provision of the variable state is finished and the special production mode is shifted to the normal production mode. In addition, when the 16R non-probable big hit is awarded, the second effect result is always derived in the promotion effect during the big hit game. Therefore, even after the execution of the 100 symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game, if the special effect mode is continuously executed, it can be recognized that the probability variation state is given. ing.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16 (c), when a 16R probability variation jackpot is awarded and the second effect result is derived in the promotion effect during the jackpot game, 100 symbol variation games after the jackpot game end. When the execution ends, the provision of the variable state ends, and the special effect mode shifts to the normal effect mode. That is, even if a probable big hit game is given in which a promotion effect is executed and a probable change state is given after the big hit game ends, if the second production result is derived in the promotion effect, a big hit other than the probable big hit game The production mode is the same as that after the game (a big hit game with no probability variation state) is given. That is, even if a promising big hit game is given, if the first production result is not derived in the promotion effect in the big hit game, the probable state is changed from the changing mode giving mode and the mode changing mode, etc. It is not possible to recognize whether or not is given.

As described above in detail, this embodiment has the following effects in addition to the same effects as those of the first embodiment.
(6) Probability variation jackpot game (big hit game based on symbol A, symbol a, symbol b or symbol c) and a period during which a variable state is given, and non-probability variable jackpot game (a jackpot game based on symbol E or symbol f) The period in which the variable state is given after the end is the same period (until the execution of the 100 symbol variation games ends). As a result, it is impossible to recognize whether or not the probability variation state has been imparted from the variation state provision mode after the end of the big hit game. Therefore, when the notification effect is executed (when the first effect result is derived by the promotion effect), the notification effect can be recognized even if the provision state of the probability variation state cannot be recognized from the provision state of the variable state. Since the provisional state of the probability variation state can be recognized by the presence or absence (whether or not the first effect result has been derived), the merit of executing the notification effect is increased. Therefore, even when the first symbol variation game that is difficult to be awarded with an advantageous jackpot game when the variable state is given, the game with the expectation that the notification effect will be executed. Can be performed.

  (7) The presence / absence of execution of the notification effect (the first effect result is derived from the promotion effect) as to the type of effect mode that is set after the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times) after the big hit game ends. Depending on whether or not it was done. That is, when it is informed by execution of the notification effect that the probability variation state is given (when the first effect result is derived in the promotion effect), a predetermined number of symbol variations after the end of the big hit game Even after the game has been executed, the fact that the probability variation state has been imparted is set by the setting mode of the effect mode (the special effect mode is continuously executed). Thereby, it is possible to recognize that the notification effect has been executed from the effect mode, that is, that the probability variation state is given.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, the opening state of the opening / closing blade 22 in the game per game after the end of the normal game is determined in the game state at the time of the normal game per normal game. May be. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes after the end of the general game, regardless of the game state at the end of the general game, when the variable state is given at the start of the general game per base. The blade 22 is opened twice, and the opening / closing blade 22 is controlled to be kept open until “2.8 (seconds)” elapses after the blade 22 is opened each time. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the open / close blade 22 after the end of the normal game, regardless of the game state at the end of the normal game, when the variable state is not given at the start of the normal game per normal map. The opening and closing blades 22 are controlled so that the opening state is maintained until “0.3 (second)” has elapsed since the opening.

  -In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, it is good also considering the effect content of a promotion effect as one type (for example, only 1st promotion effect). For example, when the content of the promotion effect is only the first promotion effect in the above embodiment, the symbol variation game that is a big hit is either the symbol variation game of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game. Also, the first promotion effect is executed.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the number of game balls as prize balls to be paid out when a game ball wins the second grand prize opening 26, and the game ball wins the first big prize opening 24. In this case, a larger number than the number of game balls as prize balls to be paid out may be set. For example, when one game ball is won at the second grand prize opening 26, “15” game balls are paid out as a prize ball, while one game ball is won at the first big prize opening 24 May be changed so that “11” game balls are paid out as prize balls.

-In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, it does not need to be comprised so that execution mode can be performed.
-In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, it is not necessary to perform a lottery lottery. In this case, since a small hit game is not given, there is no need to provide a small hit game.

  -In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, it is not necessary to recognize that the probable change state is given after the jackpot game is finished, based on the types of symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination displayed to be confirmed and stopped. good. In this case, in the above-described embodiment, if the symbol constituting the jackpot symbol combination that is confirmed and stopped is determined to be an even number of symbols, the effect result in each promotion effect is determined with the probability determined. good.

  -In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when design A or design a is specified, it is composed of a jackpot symbol combination composed of an odd number of symbols and an even number of symbols as a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped. The probability (50% and 50% in the above embodiment) as to which of the jackpot symbol combinations to be determined is determined may be changed. However, if the jackpot symbol combination composed of odd symbols is determined with a probability of 100%, the probability variation state after the jackpot game is not concealed, so the odd number with a probability of 100% The combination of symbols composed of symbols must not be determined.

  -In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, you may continue giving a variable state during a big hit game and a small hit game. Also, either one (for example, only during a small hit game) may continue to give the variable state.

-In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, it is not necessary to perform a usual game during a big hit game and a small hit game.
-In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, you may change the ratio which each big hit game is provided. However, it must be more advantageous for the player when the big win is achieved in the second symbol variation game than when the big win is achieved in the first symbol variation game.

  -In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, when the symbol which comprises the symbol combination of the jackpot symbol displayed by the fixed stop is an odd symbol, it is not necessary to perform a promotion effect during a jackpot game. However, in the above embodiment, when the effect mode is set after the jackpot game is finished, the effect result of the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information may be referred to, so the jackpot symbol combination composed of odd symbols is determined. When the display is stopped, it is desirable to store promotion information that can specify that the effect result of the promotion effect is the first effect result.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when a big win is won in the second symbol variation game, that is, when a big hit game based on the symbol a, the symbol b, the symbol c or the symbol f is given, the promotion effect It is not necessary to do. In this case, for each jackpot game, an effect during the jackpot game may be determined in advance, and the effect may be executed in a round game during the jackpot game.

  -In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the probable big hit game is given in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is given, the first effect result is given by the promotion effect. The probability of deriving may be the same as or lower than the probability of deriving the first effect result in the promotion effect when the probability variation big hit game is awarded in the second symbol variation game. However, when the probability variation big hit game is awarded in the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is given, the first symbol variation game executed when the variable state is not given Thus, the probability that the first effect result is derived in the promotion effect must be higher than that in the case where the probable big hit game is awarded.

  In the first embodiment, when the design A, the design E, the design a, the design b, the design c, or the design f is designated, the production control CPU 31a responds to the production result of the promotion production that can be specified from the promotion information. Thus, an effect mode after the end of the big hit game may be set. Specifically, when the design A, the design E, the design a, the design b, the design c, or the design f is designated, the production control CPU 31a obtains the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information as the first production result. If it is, after the big hit game ends, the probability variation confirmation mode is set as the effect mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the probability variation confirmation mode. On the other hand, when the design A, the design E, the design a, the design b, the design c, or the design f is designated, the production control CPU 31a has the promotion effect that can be specified from the promotion information as the second production result. In this case, after the big hit game ends, the probability change suggestion mode may be set as the effect mode, and the display content of the effect display device 11 may be controlled to execute the probability change suggestion mode.

  -In the second embodiment, when the provision of the variable state is completed and it is possible to specify that the effect result derived from the promotion information in the previous promotion effect is the first effect result, special You may make it transfer to special production mode in which production modes differ from production mode. In the second embodiment, since the special effect mode is not configured to be executable, it is necessary to configure the new special effect mode to be executable.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
