For example, the electric tulip 63 is opened once with a release time of 0.2 seconds. In the ordinary high accuracy, as described above, the electronic tulip 63 is opened twice for 2.9 seconds based on the winning in the electronic symbol lottery means 150 for the normal symbol. If the player strikes the ball on the right side of the game board 30, the ball can be easily won at the second start winning opening 62. In other words, it is easy to open the electric tulip 63 and the player can easily (support) winning a ball to the second start winning opening 62 (so-called electric support state). is there.

The game mode control means 180 is a means for setting the game mode after the winning game according to the type per special figure derived as a result of the lottery by the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery.
The game mode control means 180 includes a game state setting table (not shown) that defines the correspondence between special symbol types, game mode types, and game states. The game modes are, for example, a normal mode, a small chance mode, a medium chance mode, and a large chance mode. The gaming mode control means 180 refers to the gaming state setting table and sets the gaming state of the gaming mode that is determined in advance according to the type of special symbol.
The large chance mode is a mode in which, for example, when the type per special figure is 16R special symbol A, the mode shifts after winning game. The gaming state in this mode is set to a special figure high probability (until next time) state and a normal figure high probability (until next time) state (so-called probability variation gaming state (with time reduction)).
The medium chance mode is a mode in which, for example, when the type per special figure is 16R special symbol B, the mode shifts after the hit game. The gaming state in this mode is set to a special figure low-accuracy state and a normal figure high-accuracy (99 times) state.
The small chance mode is a mode in which, for example, when the type per special figure is 4R special symbol A or 4R special symbol B, the mode shifts after winning game. The game state in this mode is the special figure high probability (until next time) state and normal figure low probability state (so-called latent probability variable gaming state) when the type per special figure is 4R special symbol A. When the type is 4R special symbol B, the special figure low probability state and the normal figure low probability state (so-called gaming state after small hit game) are set.
The normal mode is a mode in which the game state after the winning game is set to a special figure low probability state and a normal figure low probability state.
Note that “until next time” means that, after the winning game is over, until the winning is obtained by a special symbol lottery based on the winning of a ball to the first starting winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62, etc. “99 times” means that the special symbol lottery based on the winning of the ball in the first starting winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62 after the winning game is finished is a special figure with high accuracy, etc. It is performed 99 times in the state of. The small hit game is a game in which the attacker device 65 is opened twice for 0.6 seconds, for example, but there are few chances to win the first big prize opening 64. A game that is usually set in a low probability state. The latent probability changing game is a game in which the attacker device 65 is opened twice for, for example, 0.6 seconds, but there are few chances to win the first big prize opening 64. A game set to.

The main control device 100 provides information about the special symbol per or out of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery, the special symbol type, the special symbol variation pattern No, and the current game mode. Send to.
As shown in FIG. 8, the effect control device 200 includes background determination means 210 that determines the background to be displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 50 based on the game mode information sent from the main control device 100. The background determination unit 210 includes a background table 210A that defines the correspondence between the game mode type and the background image type, and the game mode is displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50 with reference to the background table 210A. A background image to be displayed is determined in accordance with.
The background table 210A is associated with a normal background image in normal mode, a small chance background image in small chance mode, a medium chance background image in medium chance mode, and a large chance background image in large chance mode. Yes. These background images can be easily distinguished, and thus the player can determine the current game mode by looking at the background image displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50.

In addition, the production control device 200 includes production pattern selection means 220, and the production pattern selection means 220 is the special figure variation pattern No. determined by the variation display control means 130 described above. And an effect pattern table 221 defining the correspondence between the types of effect patterns.
The effect pattern table 221 is stored in a ROM (not shown) in the effect control device 200, and a plurality of types of effect pattern tables per special figure (storage means for storing a plurality of effect patterns for winning) that are referred to at the time of special figure hit. In addition, a plurality of types of removal effect pattern tables referred to at the time of removal are provided.
The effect pattern is a change content and a change time. The variation content is, for example, a notice effect, various reach effects, an off-change effect, and the like.
The effect pattern selection means 220 refers to an effect pattern table that differs for each game mode. That is, the effect pattern selection means 220 recognizes the current game mode sent from the main controller 100, and refers to the effect pattern table determined in advance according to the type of the game mode.

The effect control device 200 performs an effect based on the effect pattern acquired from the effect pattern table 221. For example, the effect design determined by the effect pattern is displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50, and is stopped and displayed in a manner indicating the result of the special symbol lottery substantially in synchronization with the stop time of the special symbol as the change time elapses. . Then, when the special symbol displayed in a stopped state and the stop mode of the effect symbol are modes indicating a special symbol, the above-described winning game is started, and after the winning game depending on the type of the special symbol. The game mode changes.
The effect control device 200 determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol based on the information related to the display of the effect symbol transmitted from the main control device 100. For example, the effect control device 200 determines “777” or “333” as a stop symbol when the type per special symbol is determined to be 16R special symbol A in any game mode. If the result of the electronic lottery (the first special symbol lottery, the second special symbol lottery) is out of reach and the production pattern is reach, only the central number of the three numbers is the other It is prepared in advance so that the reach numbers “121”, “454”, etc., which are different from the two, will be the stop symbols of the production symbol, or if the production pattern is not reach, all three numbers will be different outliers. Further, it is determined by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of stop symbols for detachment.

  In the embodiment, the production control device 200 produces the production by the production pattern selection means 220 through a special symbol lottery that is a win-win lottery performed in response to the winning of a ball to the first start winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62. Based on the contents of the specific effect pattern acquired from the pattern table 221, the effect display device 50 is controlled to display an image effect on the display screen 51, and the movable body drive device 33B is driven to move. By performing the movable body effect by the body 32B, a combined effect by the image effect and the movable body effect is provided to the player.

Here, since the effect based on the effect pattern with a high ratio assigned to the special pattern per effect pattern table is more likely to be a big hit game, the effect assigned to the special pattern per effect pattern table is high. A pattern is called a production pattern with high expectation. Conversely, an effect based on an effect pattern with a lower ratio assigned to the special pattern per effect pattern table is less likely to become a big hit game, so an effect with a lower percentage assigned to the special pattern per effect pattern table. A pattern is called a production pattern with low expectation.
In the embodiment, the effect patterns stored in the effect pattern table 221 include, for example, a high expectation pattern with a high expectation, a medium expectation pattern with a medium expectation, a small expectation pattern with a low expectation, and an expectation There is a very small expectation pattern.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the micro expectation pattern includes a movable body effect that raises the movable body 32B to a one-step raised position (a position slightly raised from the lowest position), and the background of the display screen 51. This is an effect pattern for instructing the effect control device 200 to perform a united effect by displaying an image effect in which the main image 501 having a very low definition is displayed while displaying the color in the first color (for example, blue). When an effect based on this minute expectation pattern is executed, the probability of a big hit game is very small, for example, about 10%.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the small expectation degree pattern includes a movable body effect that raises the movable body 32 </ b> B to a two-step lift position (a position that is higher than the one-step lift position), and the background of the display screen 51. This is an effect pattern for instructing the effect control device 200 to perform a coalescing effect by displaying the color in the second color (for example, green) and displaying the main image 502 with low definition. When an effect based on this small expectation pattern is executed, the probability of a big hit game is, for example, about 25%.
For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10C, the medium expectation pattern includes a movable body effect that raises the movable body 32 </ b> B to a three-stage raised position (a position that is higher than the two-stage raised position), and the background of the display screen 51. This is an effect pattern for instructing the effect control device 200 to perform a coalescing effect by displaying the main image 503 having a medium sharpness while displaying the color in a third color (for example, red). When an effect based on this medium expectation pattern is executed, the probability of becoming a big hit game is, for example, about 50%.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10D, the high expectation pattern is a movable body effect that raises the movable body 32 </ b> B to a four-stage raised position (a position that is higher than the three-stage raised position), and the background of the display screen 51. This is an effect pattern for instructing the effect control device 200 to perform a coalescence effect by displaying the color in a fourth color (for example, yellow) and displaying the main image 504 with a high definition. When an effect based on this high expectation pattern is executed, the probability of a big hit game is about 80%, for example.
That is, in the case of the example of FIG. 10, the effect pattern table (memory) per special figure is the effect pattern having the content for controlling the movable body drive device 33B so as to bring the movable body 32B closer to the front in the center of the display screen 51. The effect pattern having the content of controlling the movable body drive device 33B so as to bring the movable body 32B closer to the position closer to the front of the center of the display screen 51 is more likely to win or lose. In the case of the game, the game that is assigned to a large percentage can provide the pachinko machine 1 in which the expectation level of a hit game increases as the movable body 32B approaches the position closer to the front in the center of the display screen 51. In other words, it is possible to provide the player with a rich variety of effects by making the movement of the movable body 32B different according to the difference in the expected level of winning a game.
In addition, the effect control device 200 creates an image effect based on an effect pattern having a high ratio assigned to the special pattern per effect pattern table and an effect pattern with a low ratio assigned to the special pattern per effect pattern table. Since the image production performed based on the image production differs in the main image definition and the background color, a game having a different expectation level as a winning game due to the difference in the combined production between the movement of the movable body 32B and the image production. It can be provided and a variety of effects can be provided to the player.

Further, not only the moving body up-motion effect for moving the moving body 32B up, but also the rotation effect for rotating the rotating bodies 370 to 374 of the moving body 32B, and the lamp 88A built in each rotating body 370 to 374 of the moving body 32B. Thus, one or more effects of illumination effects that illuminate each of the rotating bodies 370 to 374 may be combined with a movable body moving effect.
For example, by increasing the number of combinations of effect patterns for executing all effects of moving body up-motion effect, rotation effect, and illumination effect and jackpots, the expectation for a big hit when all effects are executed is increased. In other words, if an effect pattern that executes an effect with a large number of combinations of a movable body up-motion effect, a rotation effect, and an illumination effect increases in proportion to the big hit, the movable object up-motion effect, the rotation effect, and the lighting effect As the number of combinations increases, the player can be provided with an effect that increases the expectation of a big hit.
In this case, it is possible to obtain a pachinko machine that can produce a more abundant and realistic effect by a combination of a moving body up effect, a rotation effect, and an illumination effect.

Note that the movable body 32B is exemplified by a structure that moves upward from the lower front of the display screen 51 toward the front of the center side of the display screen 51. A movable body configured to be movable toward the front on the center side, a movable body configured to be movable from the front on the right side of the display screen 51 toward the front on the center side of the display screen 51, and an upper portion of the display screen 51 The movable body etc. which were comprised from the front of the display screen 51 toward the front of the center side of the display screen 51 may be sufficient. In short, the movable body is provided in front of the periphery of the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50, and is configured to be reciprocally movable between the front of the periphery of the display screen 51 and the front of the center of the display screen 51. I just need it.
Moreover, although the example provided with the movable body comprised so that it could reciprocate on the surface parallel to the board surface 37 was shown, the structure provided with the movable body comprised so that a movement on the surface which cross | intersects the board surface 37 was carried out It may be. In this case, the effect pattern having the content for controlling the movable body drive device 33B so as to bring the movable body closer to the center of the display screen 51 is a game in which the percentage assigned when the winning lottery result is successful is larger. be able to.
