(About the symbol display device 17)
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, the symbol display device 17 is provided with a plurality of symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 that can display the decorative illustrations in a variable manner. The decorative drawing of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 is started to change in response to winning at the 2 start winning opening 31b. In the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment, a plurality of effective stop positions S1 to S9 capable of stopping and displaying one decoration as a result of the symbol variation effect are determined for each symbol row 81, 82, 83. Specifically, the symbol display device 17 is provided with three symbol rows 81, 82, 83 arranged vertically, and three effective stop positions in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. Are arranged side by side, and a symbol variation effect consisting of three rows and three steps of decorative drawings is performed. In the following description, the upper symbol row 81, the middle symbol row 82, and the lower symbol row 83 are designated in order from the upper side, and the right effective stop positions S1 and S4 in order from the right effective stop position in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83. , S7, middle effective stop positions S2, S5, S8, and left effective stop positions S3, S6, S9.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 are linearly combined one by one and fixedly stopped at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 as a result of the symbol variation effect. Five effective lines L1 to L5 for deriving the symbol combination of the decoration to be displayed are set (see FIG. 10). In the following description, an upper and lower linear effective line that combines the right effective stop positions S1, S4, and S7 of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 is referred to as a right effective line L1, and the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 A vertical effective line combining the middle effective stop positions S2, S5, S8 is referred to as a middle effective line L2, and a vertical straight line combining the left effective stop positions S3, S6, S9 of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The effective line may be referred to as the left effective line L3. Further, the first inclined effective line is defined as a left-sloped linear effective line obtained by combining the right effective stop position S1 of the upper symbol row 81, the middle effective stop position S5 of the middle symbol row 82, and the left effective stop position S9 of the lower symbol row 81. L2 is designated as the left effective stop position S3 in the upper symbol row 81, the middle effective stop position S5 in the middle symbol row 82, and the right effective stop position S7 in the lower symbol row 81. It may be referred to as a tilt effective line L5. Here, the display area of each of the effective stop positions S1 to S9 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 is configured with a display capable of displaying a decorative drawing in a larger display mode as compared with the special figure indicators 50A, 50B. Thus, the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special drawing. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or the loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective lines L1 to L5 of the symbol display device 17.

  On the symbol display device 17, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner so as to move along a predetermined variation direction with the start of the symbol variation effect, and the symbol sequences 81, 82, 83 vary in a predetermined stop order. The displayed decoration is stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9. Here, in the embodiment, based on the variation mode in which the decorative drawing moves from the right to the left in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83, depending on the production contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17, etc. In each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83, the decorative drawing is configured to move in the opposite direction from left to right. In the following description, the variation mode in which the decorative drawing moves from the right to the left in each of the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83 is referred to as forward variation, and the variation mode in which the decorative drawing moves from the left to the right is reversed. May also be referred to. Further, in the embodiment, at the start of the design variation effect, the decorative symbols start to vary in the order of the upper symbol row 81, the middle symbol row 82, and the lower symbol row 83, and the upper symbol row 81, the lower symbol row 83, and the middle symbol row Based on the variation timing of the decorative figures that are stopped and displayed in the order of 82, the variation timings of the decorative drawings in the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83 are appropriately determined according to the effect contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17. It is configured to be changed.

  Further, in the symbol display device 17, before the symbol variation effect ends, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the symbol columns 81, 82, 83, and the symbol columns 81, 82 are displayed. , 83 are displayed in a fixed stop display so that one symbol variation effect is completed. In other words, the symbol variation effect (first special diagram variation display and second special diagram variation display) is from the start of change to the final stop of decorations (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one start hold information. Is executed once. The “variable display” is a state in which the decorations displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 are changed in a predetermined arrangement order (described later) in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83. And “decision stop” of the decorative drawing means that the decorative drawing is at a predetermined special figure change interval time (1000 ms (milliseconds in the embodiment)) at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. It is in a state of being stopped and displayed continuously. In addition, the “temporary stop” of the decorative drawing means that the decorative drawing displayed so as to remain at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 does not stop for the special figure changing interval time continuously. State. That is, the temporary stop of the decorative drawing includes a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a fluctuation state at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 and a state in which the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special drawing change interval time. .

  Here, in the first special symbol display 50A and the symbol display device 17, the first special symbol variation display and the symbol variation effect relating to the first special symbol variation display are started, and the special diagram 1 and the decoration diagram are displayed in a fixed stop state. Is done. Similarly, in the second special figure display 50B and the symbol display device 17, the second special figure fluctuation display and the symbol fluctuation effect relating to the second special figure fluctuation display are started, and the special figure 2 and the decorative drawing are displayed in a fixed stop state. Is done. In the special figure display devices 50A and 50B, the special figure fluctuation display is not performed at the same time. When one of the special figure display devices 50A and 50B is performing the special figure fluctuation display, the main control RAM 60c is used. The corresponding first or second special figure start hold information is stored on hold.

  Here, the decorative display variably displayed in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 of the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment includes a plurality of effective symbols capable of forming an effective symbol combination as a hit display or a reach display, and a hit display. A symbol array that defines the order of decorative drawings that are variably displayed for each of the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83 is set (see FIG. 10). ). Specifically, a symbol array in which the effective symbols and the blank symbols are alternately arranged is determined for each of the symbol columns 81, 82, 83, and the symbol columns 81, 82 are arranged in the order determined in the symbol array. An effective symbol and a blank symbol are displayed at 83 effective stop positions S1 to S9. Hereinafter, there is a case where a decorative drawing is distinguished as an effective symbol or a blank symbol as necessary.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the symbol array for the upper symbol row 81 has nine numbers (“1” to “9”) as the effective symbols and nine blank symbols alternately arranged. At the same time, the decorative drawings are set to appear in descending order (ie, “9” to “1”) at the right effective stop position S1 of the upper symbol row 81 in accordance with the symbol variation (forward variation). In addition, after the decoration figure “1” is displayed at the right effective stop position S1 of the upper symbol row 81, the decoration figure “9” is repeatedly displayed at the right effective stop position S1 across the blank pattern. (See FIG. 11 (a)). In addition, the symbol arrangement for the lower symbol row 83 includes nine numbers (“1” to “9”) as effective symbols and nine blank symbols alternately arranged, and symbol variation (forward variation). ), The decorative drawings are set to appear in the ascending order (ie, “1” to “9”) at the right effective stop position S7 of the lower symbol row 83. In addition, after the decoration drawing “9” is displayed at the right effective stop position S7 of the lower symbol row 83, it is repeated that the decoration drawing “1” is displayed at the right effective stop position S7 across the blank design. (See FIG. 11 (c)). Thus, the symbol arrangement for the upper and lower symbol rows 81 and 83 is composed of 18 decorative drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the symbol arrangement for the middle symbol row 82 includes 10 numbers (“1” to “9” and the second “4”) as the effective symbols and 10 blank symbols. While being alternately arranged, the decorations appear in the ascending order (ie, “1” to “9”) in the right effective stop position S4 of the middle symbol row 82 in accordance with the symbol variation (forward variation). Is set so that the second “4” appears across the blank symbol. In addition, after the second “4” decoration is displayed at the right effective stop position S4 of the middle symbol row 82, the decoration “1” is displayed at the right effective stop position S4 across the blank pattern. To repeat. That is, the symbol array for the middle symbol row 82 is composed of 20 decorative drawings. Thus, the symbol arrangement for the middle symbol row 82 of the embodiment is set so that one more effective symbol is configured than the symbol arrangement for the upper and lower symbol rows 81 and 83, and the same effective symbol ( In the embodiment, it is set to include two “4”).

  That is, in the state where the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83, the display mode of the decorative drawing in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 is as two effective symbols. Either a display mode in which three decorations consisting of numbers and one blank symbol are stopped and displayed at a time, or a display mode in which three decorations consisting of one effective symbol and two blank symbols are stopped and displayed at a time (See FIG. 10). Here, the decorations that are stopped and displayed at once in the effective stop positions S1 to S3 of the upper symbol row 81, the effective stop positions S4 to S6 of the middle symbol row 82, and the effective stop positions S7 to S9 of the lower symbol row 83, respectively. Is previously set as a symbol stop pattern (see FIG. 10). By determining the symbol stop pattern for each symbol row 81, 82, 83, the combination is stopped and displayed at all the effective stop positions S1 to S9. The decorative drawings to be determined are determined.

  Further, in the following description, the decorations (including the effective symbols and the blank symbols) displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 are the symbol arrays of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The variation mode of moving N pieces (N: natural number) in the variation direction according to the above is expressed as “decorative drawing moves N frames”. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the middle symbol row 82 is moved so as to move two frames when the decorative symbol “1” is displayed at the middle effective stop position S5 in the middle symbol row 82 as a reference. Is changed to a state in which “2” is displayed at the middle effective stop position S5 of the middle symbol row 82, and when it is changed to move seven frames, “5” is indicated at the middle effective stop position S5 of the middle symbol row 82. A blank symbol between “6” is displayed.

  The decorations displayed in each of the symbol columns 81, 82, 83 are not limited to this, and the player distinguishes and identifies each decoration, such as an arbitrary number, character, or pattern. It is a form to obtain. In addition, the effective symbol of the decoration diagram is a first identification symbol that allows the player to definitely recognize that a probable change state (described later) is given after the big hit game when the winning combination is stopped and displayed. (1st symbol, specific symbol) and a second identification symbol that can be recognized indeterminately that there is a possibility that a probable change state may be given after the big hit game when it is stopped and displayed in combination with the hit display ( 2nd design, normal design). In addition, the probability change state which can be provided after the end of the big hit game in the embodiment will be described in detail later. Here, as the first identification symbol, even if it is set appropriately from the basic ornament (effective symbol), it shall be a special ornament that is determined other than the basic ornament (effective symbol). You can also. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “2”, “4”, “6”, “ An example in which the even symbol of “8” is the second identification symbol will be described.

  Then, the effective symbols of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 that are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 (effective lines L1 to L5) of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 in the symbol display device 17 are hit. In the case of a symbol combination, it is possible to grasp that a winning game is given. Here, in the embodiment, as a winning symbol combination, a symbol combination in which the same effective symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 on any of the effective lines L1 to L5 of the symbol columns 81, 82, and 83. (For example, “222”, “777”, etc., but “indicated in the order of“ upper symbol row 81, middle symbol row 82, lower symbol row 83 ”) is set. The symbol combination that can recognize the big hit becomes a win display, and a big hit game advantageous to the player is given after the end of the symbol variation effect. On the other hand, in the combination of symbols that are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 on each of the effective lines L1 to L5 of the symbol display device 17, at least one different type of decoration (including effective symbols and blank symbols). Is included, it can be recognized from the symbol combinations (for example, “123”, “73 ·”, “1 · 1”, etc.) that it is an “out-of-game” in which no jackpot game is granted in principle. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize is displayed as an outlier display. “·” Indicates a blank symbol.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the effective lines L1 to L5 of any two predetermined symbol rows (in the embodiment, the upper symbol row 81 and the lower symbol row 83) among the plurality of symbol rows 81, 82, 83. Reach state (reach) has occurred because the same effective symbol is stopped and displayed, and the remaining symbol sequence (in the example, middle symbol sequence 82) is displayed in a variable manner (reach display). Can be recognized by the player. As a specific example of reach display, a combination of symbols in which the same effective symbols are stopped and displayed on any of the effective lines L1 to L5 in a state where the effective symbols are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol row 81 and the lower symbol row 83 ( “1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.). In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. Here, in the embodiment, the single reach that is the reach display on any one of the right and left effective lines L1, the middle effective line L2, and the left effective line L3, and 2 extending obliquely. It is possible to cause a double reach that simultaneously displays reach on the first and second effective slope lines L4 and L5. In addition, the decorations of the symbol rows (the upper symbol row 81 and the lower symbol row 83) forming the reach display are displayed until the decoration symbols are stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) on the remaining symbol rows (middle symbol row 82). During this time, the temporary stop display state is set.

  In addition, the symbol display device 17 displays the symbol combination of the decoration according to the displayed special symbol as a result of the special symbol fluctuation display on the special symbol display devices 50A and 50B. That is, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display devices 50A and 50B and the symbol combination of the decorative graphic displayed on the symbol display device 17 correspond to each other, and when the symbol variation effect ends, the special symbol display device 50A. , 50B, the special figure is fixed and stopped, and the decorative figure is fixed and displayed in the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 of the symbol display device 17. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol. Yes.

(About the ball passage gate 47)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a ball passage gate 47 through which a pachinko ball flowing down the game area 20 a can pass is provided on the left side of the frame-shaped decorative body 25. The ball passage gate 47 is provided with a passage ball detection sensor 48 (see FIG. 8), and the passage ball detection sensor 48 detects a pachinko ball passing through the ball passage gate 47. The passing sphere detection sensor 48 is connected to the main control board 60 by wiring, and an input of a sphere detection signal from the passing sphere detection sensor 48 to the main control board 60 (that is, detection of a pachinko sphere by the passing sphere detection sensor 48). (Passing pachinko balls through the ball passage gate 47)), various types of information (random numbers for determining per common figure, which will be described later) are acquired. Is configured to be performed. The start winning solenoid 32 of the start winning device 30 is driven and controlled in accordance with the result of the lottery per game, so that the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are opened and closed.

(About the general-purpose display 55)
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 20 has a general-purpose display 55 having a light emitting display unit composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) at the left side position of the game area 20a. It is arranged. In this general-purpose indicator 55, there are cases where a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter referred to as “normal”) are triggered by the detection of pachinko spheres by the passing sphere detection sensor 48 (passage of pachinko spheres by the ball passage gate 47). ) Is changed, and a universal map change display for deriving one common map is performed. In the embodiment, two types of common diagrams are shown in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, a general diagram is shown by a light emitting mode in which only the upper LED is lit and a light emitting mode in which only the lower LED is lit. In the following description, the general map shown by turning on only the upper LED is referred to as “0”, and for convenience of explanation, the general map shown by turning on only the lower LED is referred to as “1”. To do. Then, from the final display result of the general map display 55, it is possible to recognize the normal map hit or miss. More specifically, the universal map “1” is displayed on the universal map display 55 in the case of hitting the universal map, and the universal map “0” is displayed in the case of a deviation. In other words, the universal map that can recognize this universal map is the display result of the universal map, and the universal map that can recognize the disparity is the display result of the disparate map.

(Regarding the general hold)
Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 20 has information acquired when a pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47 at the left side position of the game area 20a (various random number information to be described later). Is stored as start hold information in the internal storage means (main control RAM 60c), a light emitting display unit is composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) that display the number of hold of the usual map hold information. In addition, a general figure hold display unit 56 is provided, and the number of fluctuations of the general figure held by the display content of the general figure hold display unit 56 is notified. The number of the reserved map start display displayed in the map holding display unit 56 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passing gate 47, and is decremented by 1 when the map variation display is started. Note that a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the embodiment) is set for the general-purpose start reserved memory number, and the general-purpose start reserved memory number can be added up to the upper limit number. The general map hold display unit 56 is composed of a plurality of (two in the embodiment) LEDs, and the general map hold display unit 56 starts from the top when the number of general map start hold memories is 1-2. Lights in sequence, and when the general-purpose chart start hold storage number is 3 to 4, the general-purpose hold display section 56 blinks in order from the top, so that the number of hold on which the normal map change display is performed can be grasped. Yes.

(About probability change)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said special prize opening is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball in the special winning opening can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the fact that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability is changed from a low probability (2211/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (2210/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit to which a probability change state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the probability change state is given continuously until the next big hit occurs. Specifically, in the case of a big hit that is given a probability change state, the probability change state is given until 10,000 symbol fluctuation effects (special figure change display) are performed after the big hit game ends, so The next big hit will be generated. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is provided, and the transition to the non-probability variation state may be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be from when the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. Also, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31b increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33 that open the second start winning opening 31b, the pachinko ball winning opportunity to the second starting winning opening 31b can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33 for opening the second start winning port 31b once per map, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are opened, or they may be combined. In the embodiment, the above-mentioned (1) to (3) are combined as the second privilege gaming state, and in the following description, the combined state of (1) to (3) is referred to as “changed state” for convenience. ". That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31b is improved.

  In the variable speed function of the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed on the general map display 55 after the big hit game ends is shortened, and the probability per universal map is low (in the embodiment, 1125/65536). It is a function to change from high to high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). In the embodiment, the variation time of the normal map change display is set to 10000 ms from the start of the general map change in a state where the variable state is not given, and the start of the normal figure change is given in a state where the short state is given. To 1000 ms. It should be noted that the time from when the normal map is displayed in a fixed stop to when the next normal map change is performed (the general map change interval time) is set to 600 ms.

  In the state where the variable state is applied, the open / close members 33 and 33 are opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, a predetermined time after the opening and closing members 33 and 33 of the start winning device 30 are opened when winning in the normal map display (in the case of a normal map) is won. An opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until (300 ms in the embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state in which the variable state is assigned, when the normal figure change display is won (in the case of the normal figure), the opening / closing members 33 and 33 of the start winning device 30 are opened for a predetermined time (implemented). In the example, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state until 1220 ms) is repeated three times at a predetermined time interval (1080 ms in the embodiment). That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing members 33, 33 of the start winning device 30 is longer than in the state where the variable state is not given, and the player operates in an advantageous manner. It is set to be. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second start winning port 31b per one time is set, and the winning after the opening and closing members 33, 33 are opened is set. When the number reaches the upper limit number of winnings, the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are closed even before the opening time and the number of opening times are satisfied. Here, the embodiment is configured such that the period during which the variable state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of variable times) is changed according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won in the big hit. ing. Specifically, when the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is a predetermined probability variation symbol, a variable state is given until the next big jackpot occurs. If the type of jackpot symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is a predetermined non-probable variable symbol, the symbol variation effect (first special symbol variation) is performed a predetermined number of times (100 in the embodiment). It is set so that the variable state is given until the total number of times of display and second special figure variation display) is executed.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the big hit game is set to start after the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure indicators 50A and 50B as a result of the special figure fluctuation display, and an opening indicating the start of the big hit game is shown. It consists of a production OP, a round game that is repeated by the specified number of rounds (2 rounds or 15 rounds in the embodiment) after the opening production is repeated with an interval time between rounds, and an ending production ED that indicates the end of the jackpot game. ing. In the round game, the opening / closing door 43 of the special prize-winning device 40 opens and closes according to the type of jackpot that has occurred, and a predetermined number (for example, seven) of pachinko balls in the special prize opening in one round game. One round game is completed when a predetermined time (round game time) elapses from the start of each round game. In addition, during each round game in the jackpot game, an interval time between rounds in which the open / close door 43 is held in a closed state for a predetermined time is set. That is, in the jackpot game, the opening / closing door 43 performs an opening / closing operation that is equal to or more than the prescribed round number of each jackpot game.

  Here, the opening / closing mode (opening / closing pattern) of the opening / closing door 43 of the special winning device 40 in each round game of the jackpot game is a single opening operation (opening) under the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired at a predetermined interval. For a long period of time during which the specified number of pachinko balls determined for the round game are opened for a time that can be won, and the opening time of the open / close door 43 rather than the long-time opening operation. Is configured by appropriately combining a short-time opening operation set to be short.

(About types of jackpot games)
In the pachinko machine of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, when winning the jackpot determination, one jackpot game is determined from a plurality of types (four kinds in the embodiment) of jackpot games having different values to be given to the player. And the determined jackpot game is awarded. Here, among the four types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined based on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2) determined when winning the jackpot determination. It has become so. In the embodiment, the special symbols 1 as 100 kinds of jackpot symbols that can be displayed on the first special symbol display 50A are classified into four groups of symbols A, symbols B, symbols C, and symbols D. Four types of big hit games are awarded according to the special figure 1 that is confirmed and stopped on the figure display 50A. Similarly, the 100 special jackpot symbols that can be displayed on the second special symbol display 50B in the embodiment are classified into four groups of symbol a, symbol b, symbol c, symbol d, Four types of big hit games are awarded according to the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B.

  Here, 45 types of special symbols 1 as jackpot symbols are allocated to symbol A, seven types are allocated to symbol B, three types are allocated to symbol C, and 45 types are allocated to symbol D. Special figure 2 as a big hit symbol is distributed 45 types to symbol a, 7 types are allocated to symbol b, 3 types are allocated to symbol c, and 45 types are allocated to symbol d.

(About special probability variation game)
Here, the special figure 1 classified as the symbol A is displayed on the first special figure display 50A, or the special figure 2 of the kind classified as the symbol a is displayed on the second special figure display 50B. Is provided with a special probability variable big hit game (special hit game) as a big hit game. The special probability variable jackpot game is a round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and the upper limit number of winnings for each round game is set to “7”. In the special probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, the probability changed state and the variable state are given after the big hit game ends. In the special probability variation jackpot game of the embodiment, after the jackpot game is finished, a probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is generated, and a predetermined number (10,000 times) of the symbol variation effect (special diagram variation display) is provided. A variable state is granted until done. In each round game of the special probability variable big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation for continuously opening the special winning opening from the start to the end of the round game. That is, all the round games of the probability variation big hit game are constituted by a full-open round game in which the opening / closing door 43 performs a long-time opening operation that opens from the start to the end of the round game. Accordingly, in the special probability variable big hit game, the open / close door 43 is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation 15 times in the big hit game as a whole.

  In the special probabilistic big hit game, “25.0 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game. And open. Note that in the special probability variable big hit game, “12.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “11.5 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. Further, the interval time between rounds of the special probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. That is, the value of the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified into the symbol A and the symbol a is determined is set equal. And when the big hit symbol classified into the symbol A and the symbol a is determined, the effect mode after the end of the big hit game is set to shift to the probability change mode described later.

(About 2R sudden probable big hit game)
When the special figure 1 classified as the symbol B is displayed on the first special figure display 50A or the special figure 2 classified as the symbol b is displayed on the second special figure display 50B, the big hit game As a result, 2R suddenly promising big hit games are awarded. The 2R sudden probability change big hit game is a round big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “2”, and the upper limit number of winnings of each round game is set to “7”. In the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, the probability change state and the variable state are given after the big hit game ends. In the 2R sudden probability change jackpot game of the embodiment, after the jackpot game is finished, a probability change state is given until the next jackpot game is generated, and a predetermined number (10,000 times) of the symbol change effect (special figure change display). The variable state is given until the operation is performed. In each round game of 2R sudden probability change big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a short-time opening operation for continuously opening the special prize opening from the start to the end of the round game. In the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, the open / close door is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation twice in the whole big hit game. And when special figure 1 or special figure 2 classified into the symbol B and the symbol b is determined, it sets so that it may transfer to the probability change mode mentioned later as an effect mode after a big hit game.

  Here, in the 2R sudden probability change big hit game, “0.3 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game. In these jackpot games, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “3.2 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. In addition, the interval time between rounds of these jackpot games is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. That is, each round game time (0.3 (seconds)) in the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game is such that the number of pachinko balls won in the special prize device 40 does not satisfy the upper limit number of prizes in one round game. Set to time. For this reason, there is almost no winning ball in the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game, and there is a possibility of winning the upper limit number of pachinko balls in each round game. It is a game with different value.

(About special probability variation big hit game)
When the special figure 1 classified as the symbol C is displayed on the first special figure indicator 50A or the special figure 2 classified as the symbol c is displayed on the second special figure indicator 50B, the big hit game Special probability variation big hit games (hereinafter referred to as jump-up probability variation big hit games) are given. The jump-up probability variable jackpot game is a round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and the upper limit number of winnings for each round game is set to “7”. In the jump-up probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, a probability changed state and a variable state are given after the big hit game ends. In the special probability variation jackpot game of the embodiment, after the jackpot game is finished, a probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is generated, and a predetermined number (10,000 times) of the symbol variation effect (special diagram variation display) is provided. A variable state is granted until done.

  In the jump-up probable big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 of the special prize device 40 is opened a plurality of times (in the embodiment, twice) in the first round game, and the round game starts in the second to fifteenth round games. The opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation to open the special prize opening continuously from the end to the end. In other words, in the first round game of the jump-up probability variation big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is repeatedly opened several times (twice) and then the special prize opening is continuously opened until the end of the round game. The remaining round games after the second round game (for 14 rounds) are all open round games.

  Here, in the first round game of the jump-up probability variation big hit game, the opening time of the opening / closing door 43 in the first opening to the second opening is set to “0.3 (seconds)”, respectively, and the third opening / closing is performed. The opening time of the door 43 is set to “24.4 (seconds)”. In addition, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as an interval time within one round between the first opening and the second opening, and one intra-round interval time between the second opening and the third opening. "2.9 (seconds)" is set for each of them. As a result, the round game time of the first round of the jump-up probability variation big hit game is "0.3 (seconds) x 2 + 2.0 (seconds) +2. “29.9 (seconds)” consisting of “9 (seconds) +24.4 (seconds)”. Then, “25.0 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of the first round game after the second round in the jump-up probability big hit game, and the opening / closing door 43 is set to “25” at the maximum in each round game. .0 (seconds) "for a long period of time. In the jump-up probability variation big hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “11.5 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. The interval time between rounds of the jump-up probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. Then, when the special figure 1 classified as the symbol C or the special figure 2 classified as the symbol c is determined, it is set so as to shift to the probability variation mode described later as the effect mode after the big hit game.

  Further, the opening effect time in the jump-up probability variation big hit game is set to the same time as the opening effect time of the 2R sudden probability change big hit game described above. In addition, the opening time of the opening / closing door 43 of the special winning device 40 from the first opening to the second opening in the first round of the jump-up probability variation big hit game is set to the same time as the round game time in the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game. . Then, in the sudden probability big hit game, the interval time between rounds ("2.0 (seconds)") from the opening of the door 43 in the first round to the closing of the door 43 in the second round is jumped up. It is the same time as the in-round interval time (“2.0 (seconds)”) in the first round of the probable big hit game. Therefore, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 43 from the start of the jump-up probability variation big hit game until the opening / closing door 43 is opened and closed twice is the opening / closing operation of the special prize winning device 40 in the second round after the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game starts. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 43 until the door 43 is closed is the same as the opening / closing operation. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 43 distinguishes whether the jump-up probability variation big hit game or the 2R sudden probability variation big hit game. It has become impossible.

(Normally non-probable big hit games)
When the special figure 1 classified as the symbol D is displayed on the first special figure display 50A, the normal non-probability big hit game is given as the big hit game. The normal non-probable big hit game is a round big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and the winning upper limit number of each round game is set to “7”. In the normal non-probability big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, a probable change state is not given after the big hit game is ended (becomes a non-probable change state), and a predetermined change from the end of the big hit game is made. The variable state is given only until the special figure variation display is performed a short number of times (100 in the embodiment). Note that the opening / closing mode of the open / close door 43 in each round game in the normal non-probability big hit game is the same as that in the special probability big hit game described above. That is, in each round game of a normal non-probability big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation for continuously opening the special winning opening 41 from the start to the end of the round game. That is, all the round games of the non-probability big hit game are constituted by a fully open round game in which the opening / closing door 43 performs a long-time opening operation that opens from the start to the end of the round game. Therefore, in the normal non-probability big hit game, the open / close door 43 is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation 15 times in the whole big hit game.

  In addition, in a normal non-probable big hit game, the opening performance time is “12.0 (seconds)”, and the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25.0 (seconds)”. As “11.5 (seconds)”. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls is won. For this reason, in the normal non-probability big hit game, “25.0 (seconds)” which is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Note that the interval time INa between rounds in the normal non-probability big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

Configured to perform control.

(About random numbers for judgment)
The main control CPU 60a uses various random numbers such as a jackpot determination random number, a special figure determination random number, an effect execution determination random number (reach determination random number), a variation pattern distribution random number, a universal pattern determination random number, etc. Is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c to rewrite the value before the update. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  The jackpot determination random number is a random number used in the jackpot determination (hit lottery) as to whether or not a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as the jackpot determination random numbers, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Further, the special figure determination random number determines the special figure 1 to be displayed on the first special figure display 50A for fixed stop or the special figure 2 to be displayed on the second special figure display 50B depending on the result of the big hit determination. It is a random number to be used. Here, in the embodiment, 101 kinds of integer values from “0” to “100” are set as the special figure determination random numbers, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Yes. Each value of the special figure determination random number is set with a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display showing the above-mentioned deviation and a random number corresponding to 100 kinds of special figure display showing the big hit. The special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50A or the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B is specified by the random number for figure determination. . As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified for each type of jackpot game, and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is specified, so The kind of jackpot given after the end can be specified. In addition, as described above, whether or not the probability change state and the variable state are given after the big hit game is uniquely determined for each type of the big hit, and the special figure determining random number indicates the probability change state and the variable state. It also has a function as a random number for determining whether or not to assign.

  In addition, the random number for effect execution determination performs an effect that suggests the possibility that a win display is displayed when the determination result in the jackpot determination described above is negative (in the case of failure to win the jackpot) This is a random number used in the effect execution determination (reach determination). In the embodiment, 241 kinds of integer values from “0” to “240” are set as random numbers for effect execution determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to determine a variation pattern of symbol variation in a symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, 240 random numbers from “0” to “239” are set as the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). The random number for determining per common figure is a random number used in the per-normal figure determination (lottery per common figure) as to whether or not a normal figure is generated as a result of the normal figure fluctuation. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms).

  In the pachinko machine of the embodiment, the random number for determining the big hit, the random number for determining the special drawing, the random number for determining the performance execution, and the random number for distributing the variation pattern are sent to the first start winning port 31a or the second starting winning port 31b. Each random number temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c is triggered by winning (more specifically, when the first start winning detection sensor 34a or the second start winning detection sensor 34b detects a pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a acquires at the same timing. Each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b. Are used in common, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 31a and 31b. It should be noted that the random number for determining the hit per map is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47 (more specifically, when the passing ball detection sensor 48 detects the pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a obtains random numbers stored in the memory.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not the jackpot is determined by using the jackpot determination random number (a jackpot determination), and there are a total of 65536 possible values from “0” to “65535” that the jackpot determination random number can take. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (2210 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state (221 in the embodiment). Many are set. That is, the big hit is likely to occur by increasing the set number of big hit judgment values in the probability variation state.

  The main control ROM stores special figure determination values. The special figure determination value is displayed on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display 50B as a big hit symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, integer values of “1” to “100” corresponding to the above-described 100 kinds of special figure determining random numbers indicating the big hits are set as the special figure determining determination values. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are individually associated with each determination value.

  In addition, an effect execution determination value (reach determination value) is stored in the main control ROM. The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination as to whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests the possibility that the winning display is displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the big hit determination is negative (reach lottery ), Which is determined from among 241 integers from “0” to “240” that can be taken by the random number for determining execution execution. Here, the production execution determination value differs in the number of determination values set depending on whether or not the probability variation state or the variation state described above is applied at the time of performing the performance execution determination.

  That is, in the case of the execution execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 31a and the second start winning opening 31b, the execution execution determination set when the variable state is given. It is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set in the non-variable state where the variable state is not given is larger than the number of values. In the embodiment, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 31a and the second starting winning opening 31b, the non-probable state and the non-changeable state (the low-probability change state). 37) performance execution determination values are set in the case of (none), and in the case of non-probability change and variable state (with low accuracy change), six production execution determination values are set, and the probability change state and variable state In the case of existence (with high-precision variation short), three production execution determination values are set. Further, in the case of an effect execution determination that is performed when a pachinko ball has won a prize at the first start winning opening 31a and the second starting winning opening 31b, the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The set number of production execution determination values is set to vary according to the number of holds and the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information. Specifically, in the case of the production execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a, the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information is “0” to “2” 37 production execution determination values are set, and 23 production execution determination values are set when the number of holds is “3” to “4”. In addition, in the case of an effect execution determination performed when a pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information and the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information are added together. When the number of holds is “0” to “2”, 37 performance execution determination values are set, and when the total number of holds is “3” to “4”, 23 effect execution determination values are set. ing.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of standard values per map (65535 in the embodiment) set when there is a variable state is the number of standard values per map (65535 in the example) that is set when there is no variable state. More than 1125). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values for the normal map when there is a variable state, the normal map is likely to occur.

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns that specify variation details, and stores variation pattern distribution determination values corresponding to the variation patterns. Here, the variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the fixed stop display. Pattern, which is a basic base of the mode and the voice production mode), 176 types of variation patterns are set in the embodiment. The variation pattern is the variation time (design variation production effect time) from when the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display is started until the special diagram 1 or special diagram 2 is confirmed and stopped. I have identified. The variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used to determine the variation pattern using the variation pattern distribution random number, and the random number value that the variation pattern distribution random number can take is a predetermined number of variations for each variation pattern. A pattern judgment value is assigned.

  The variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b are classified into variation patterns for jackpot effects and variation patterns for outlier effects, and specific variation pattern determination values are determined for each variation pattern. . Note that the variation pattern for the big hit effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. Further, the variation pattern for the offending effect is a variation pattern that is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is negative. The variation pattern for the offending effect includes a fluctuation pattern for the offending reach effect that is finally set to be a deviation after the reach effect is performed, and a fluctuation pattern for the offending effect that is set as a deviation without forming the reach. is there.

  In addition, the symbol variation effect performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is developed so that the reach effect is executed in the middle of the symbol variation effect, and finally the symbol combination of the effective symbol that will be the big hit is confirmed and stopped. A reachable jackpot effect with a reach and a reachable jackpot effect that is unfolded so that the symbol combination of the effective symbol that will eventually become a big hit is displayed in a fixed stop without executing the reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect. ing. Out-of-bounds reach production is an effect that is developed so that the reach combination is executed in the middle of the design variation production, and the symbol combination of the decorative figure (including the effective design and the blank design) that will eventually become out of place is confirmed and stopped. . The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol combination of the decorative figure (including the effective symbol and the blank symbol) that will eventually be lost without performing the reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect is displayed in a fixed stop state. Note that the reach effect is a period from when the symbol combination of the effective symbol that is the reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17 until the symbol combination of the decorative symbol that is the jackpot display or off display is stopped and displayed. It is an effect performed in

The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  In other words, it is determined whether or not a winning game is won when the start winning device 30 is won, and a winning game determining means (winning determining means) for determining a type of winning game to be given from a plurality of winning games. The main control CPU 60a has a function as a hit game executing means for executing a type of hit game after the end of the special symbol change display (after the end of the symbol change effect). The main control CPU 60a has a function as a variation pattern determining means for determining one variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning in the start winning device 30. . In addition, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give a probability variation state (privilege state) in which the probability that a big hit will occur (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is affirmative) is higher than usual. In addition to functioning as state determination means (privilege state provision determination means, game state transition determination means), it is configured to function as probability variation grant means for imparting a probability variation state after the big hit game ends. In addition, the main control CPU 60a also functions as a privilege state determination unit that determines whether or not a probability variation state (privilege state) is to be applied when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative). Further, the main control CPU 60a is in a variable state (winning) in which a probability that a pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b is high when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative). It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination means for determining whether or not to grant a (rate improvement state), and when giving a winning rate improvement state, a special number fluctuation display of a predetermined number of times after the end of the big hit game ( As a winning rate improvement state granting period determining means for determining any period until the symbol change effect) is executed or until the next jackpot game is given as the period for giving the variable state. In addition to functioning, it also functions as a short / short state giving means for giving a short / short state only for a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the end of the big hit game. As described above, the main control CPU 60a gives a privilege state (probability change state, variable change state) advantageous to the player after winning a game based on winning in the start winning device 30 when the winning determination is affirmative. It is provided with a function as privilege state determining means for determining whether or not.

It functions as a second holding storage means for storing as a holding ball.

(Main control)
Next, various processes executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(About special map processing)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning port 31a of the start winning device 30 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 34a corresponding to the first start winning opening 31a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 60c. The value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31b of the start winning device 30. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 34b corresponding to the second start winning opening 31b detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 60c, The value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is completed.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed on the special figure indicators 50A and 50B and the symbol display device 17, or whether or not the big hit game is being played. Determine (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of hold in the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a also stores the special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the number of holdings of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14), and a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information The main control CPU 60a acquires the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution stored in (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the second special figure storage area MK1 in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. Then, after acquiring the random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information stored in the second special figure start hold information in the second special figure storage area MK2. Information (random numbers) is stored in the second special figure storage area MK1. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores in the second special figure storage area MK2 the information (random number) of the third special figure storage area MK3 in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The information (random number) of the fourth special figure storage area MK4 in which the second special figure start hold information stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area MK3. That is, the second special figure start hold information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure display 50B so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative at the time of non-probability change (when the probability is low) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 221/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability that the determination result is affirmative (hit probability) is set to 2210/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit changes (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 50B based on the acquired special figure distribution random number (Step 2). B24). Here, since the value of the special figure distribution random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2 separately, the main control CPU 60a is associated with the acquired special figure distribution random number value. By determining the special figure 2, the jackpot symbol is determined. When the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B25).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display 50B as a final stop symbol (special stop symbol). 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number (step B29).

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the off-state effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special drawing 2) in steps B28, B29, B30, and B31 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a specifies a variation pattern, outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display 50B so as to start the second special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of 50B is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether or not the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the effect execution determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number (step B19), and then the hit determination Execute the process. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second start winning opening 31b is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired in response to the winning of 31a is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the first special figure storage area M1 in which the first special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then stores the first special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area M2. Information (random numbers) is stored in the first special figure storage area M1. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the information (random number) in the third special figure storage area M3 in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored in the second special figure storage area M2. The information (random number) of the fourth special figure storage area M4 in which the first special figure start hold information stored fourth (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area M3. That is, the first special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B32). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative at the time of non-probability change (when the probability is low) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 221/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability that the determination result is affirmative (hit probability) is set to 2210/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B32 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 50A based on the acquired special figure distribution random number (Step 1). B34). Here, since the value of the special figure distribution random number is associated with the jackpot symbol for each special figure 1, the main control CPU 60a assigns the special figure distribution random number value associated with the acquired special figure distribution random number value. By determining FIG. 1, the jackpot symbol is determined. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the big hit effect based on the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution (step B35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display 50A as a final stop symbol (special feature). FIG. 1) is determined (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B39).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a deviates from the fixed symbol displayed on the first special figure display 50A. Is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the off-state effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop pattern (Special Figure 1) in Steps B38, B39, B40, and B41, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a first outputs a variation pattern designation command designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display 50A so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of 50A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B17 is negative (if the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect? If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol change effect based on the change pattern specification command input from the main control CPU 60a, and specifies the determined effect pattern. Are output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. Here, the production patterns that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are classified for each production mode, and correspond to the variation patterns from the production patterns that can be selected based on the set value of the production mode flag input to the overall control board 65. An effect pattern to be selected is selected. When the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a displays each symbol sequence to be finally stopped on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. The decorative drawings 81, 82 and 83 (stop symbols) and the planned stop positions of the decorative symbols (stop symbols) are determined. That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets the symbol columns 81, 82, The 83 stop symbols are determined, and the effective lines L1 to L5 in which the symbol combinations of the effective symbols to be displayed are displayed are determined. Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol row 81, 82, 83 specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. To do. Specifically, the overall control CPU 60a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time when the change pattern designation command is input, and designates the top decoration at the stop timing of the top symbol row 81. A command is output, a bottom decoration designating command is output at the stop timing of the decorative drawing in the lower design row 83, and an interior decoration designating command is output at the stop timing of the decorative drawing in the middle design row 82.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is an outlier symbol, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. When the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the symbol combinations including the reach formation symbols are displayed on the effective lines L1 to L5. On the other hand, the general control CPU 65a determines a combination of symbols that can recognize a loss that does not include a reach formation symbol when a variation pattern for the loss effect is instructed. Further, when the overall control CPU 65a inputs an all symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the command to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. In addition, the determination control of the decoration drawing which stops at each effective stop position S1-S9 of each symbol row | line | column 81,82,83, and the decoration drawing which displays a reach display or a win display is demonstrated in detail later.

  Here, when the jackpot symbol is symbol A, the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is determined depending on whether or not the promotion effect and the re-lottery effect are notified that the probability variation jackpot game is won. In other words, when notifying the promotion effect or the re-drawing effect, the overall control CPU 65a does not definitely notify the player that the game will be in a probable state after the end of the big hit game (specifically, even symbols). If it is determined to be a combination of symbols in the same design, and it is not notified in the promotion effect or re-drawing effect, it is a decorative figure (specifically, it can be notified to the player definitely that it will be in a probable change state) Determine the jackpot symbol combination consisting of (odd symbols). When the jackpot symbol is symbol B, symbol C, symbol b, or symbol c, a decorative symbol (specifically, an odd symbol) that definitely notifies the player that the jackpot game will be in a probable state after the end of the jackpot game. ) To be a symbol combination with the same symbol. When the jackpot symbol is symbol D or symbol d, the symbol combination in the same symbol of the decorative symbol (specifically, even symbol) that does not definitely notify the player that the probability change state is to be obtained. To decide.

  The general control CPU also determines the type of jackpot symbol instructed by the special figure 1 designation command or special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU and each designation command relating to the operation / non-operation (end) of the variable state. And the type of effect mode is determined based on the set value of the effect mode flag, and the effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined effect mode. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 65c. When the overall control CPU 65a updates the production mode flag, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the production mode to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  That is, based on the variation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a, effect content determining means for determining the effect content of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17, and stopped display on the symbol display device 17 as a result of the symbol variation effect. The overall control CPUa has a function as a symbol determining means for determining a symbol (decorative diagram) to be performed.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol sequence 81, 82, 83 is input, the display control CPU 70a is designated by the decoration designating command at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the corresponding symbol sequence 81, 82, 83. When the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and all the symbol stop commands are input, the decorative symbol designated by the decorative symbol designation command is confirmed in the symbol display device 17 at the effective stop positions S1 to S9 of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled to stop display, and the symbol variation effect is ended. Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a displays a background image corresponding to the designated effect mode.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a variation pattern that can be determined when the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative, and a plurality of types of variations that perform a reachable jackpot effect that performs a reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect. A pattern is set. In this embodiment, six types of variation patterns will be described as an example. However, any number of 1 to 5 or 7 or more may be used, and the contents of the production based on the variation patterns are of other content types. There may be.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the six types of variation patterns include a first variation pattern E1 for specifying the content of the effect to be displayed after the normal reach effect is performed, and the re-variation effect is performed after the normal reach effect is performed. The second variation pattern E2 that specifies the content of the effect that is displayed as a win, the third variation pattern E3 that specifies the content of the effect that is displayed as a win after the re-lottery effect is performed after the normal reach effect is performed, and the normal reach effect is performed A fourth variation pattern E4 for specifying the content of the effect to be displayed when the re-variation re-lottery effect is performed after the break, and the fifth variation pattern E5 for designating the type of the super-reach effect performed in the single reach display mode; A sixth variation pattern E6 for designating the type of super reach production performed in the double reach display mode. Here, the re-variation effect is the result of the normal reach, and after temporarily stopping the decorative drawings that are shifted on the effective lines L1 to L5 in the respective symbol rows 81, 82, 83, the decorative symbols in the middle symbol row 82 are displayed. It is the content of the effect which changes again and stops the decoration which becomes a display per fixed on the effective lines L1-L5. In addition, the re-lottery effect is obtained by temporarily stopping the decorative drawing that is displayed on each of the effective lines L1 to L5 in each of the symbol rows 81, 82, 83 as a result of the normal reach, and then the symbol rows 81, 82, 83. The decoration contents are changed again, and the decoration contents to be displayed on the effective lines L1 to L5 are confirmed and stopped. Further, the re-variation re-drawing effect is a result of normal reach, after temporarily stopping the decorative drawings that are displayed on the respective effective lines L1 to L5 in the respective symbol rows 81, 82, 83, The figure is changed again to temporarily stop the decorative drawing that is displayed on the effective lines L1 to L5, and then the decorative drawing of each of the symbol rows 81, 82, and 83 is changed again to be on the effective lines L1 to L5. This is the content of the effect to confirm and stop the decoration drawing to be displayed. Note that the normal reach production is a reach production that is performed under the normal background as the background image, and the super reach production is a reach production that is developed after the normal reach production and is different from the normal background as the background image. The reach effect image is set to be displayed. Here, the super reach effect image is a background image that is one of the special backgrounds and is displayed in a mode different from the normal background, and allows the player to recognize that it is a super reach effect. As the super reach effect image, for example, an animation image (moving image) in which a specific character appears, a gradation image that changes the lightness, darkness, and color tone in stages are set. In the super reach production, the decoration in the middle symbol row 82 that is the same as the ornament in which the reach display is formed by the upper and lower symbol rows 81 and 83 (that is, the reach symbol) is the effective lines L1 to L1 that form the reach display. Immediately before moving to L5 (reach line), the changing speed of the middle symbol row 82 is reduced, and a setting is made so as to perform a design-squeezing effect that gives the expectation that the reach symbol of the middle symbol row 82 is stopped and displayed on the reach line Has been. In the above-described six types of variation patterns, the patterns for executing the re-variation effect, the re-lottery effect, and the re-variable re-lottery effect are given only after the normal reach effect has been performed. It is possible to set a variation pattern for executing a re-variation effect, a re-lottery effect, and a re-variation re-lottery effect after execution of the super reach effect performed in the form.

(About the production type mode)
In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, four (may be two, three, or five or more) effect type modes having different execution probabilities of a one-shot notification effect to be described later are set, and the effect type mode Is stored in the overall control ROM 65b. Each effect type mode MA, MB, MC, MD has different effect patterns that specify the contents of the symbol variation effect determined by the overall control CPU 65a based on the variation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a. That is, in the production type modes MA, MB, MC, MD, the production mode is changed by changing the image contents such as the background image projected on the back of the symbol or the appearing character according to the production pattern. The effect type mode can be grasped from the type of image displayed on the symbol display device 17.

  Further, these four effect type modes are configured such that the player can select them by operating the operation buttons 36. The effect type mode specifies the basic type of the design variation effect, and in this embodiment, the first effect type mode MA, the second effect type mode MB, and the third effect content system are different. The effect type mode MC and the fourth effect type mode MD are set. The first to fourth effect type modes MA, MB, MC, MD are preset in a state where the symbol variation effect is not executed (waiting for variation including during the demonstration effect) and after the symbol variation effect is started. Further, it is configured to be selectable by pressing the operation button 36 until the first effective operation time elapses.

  That is, the overall control CPU 65a displays an operation valid command for validating the operation of the operation button 36 during the first valid operation time set in advance after the change waiting state and the design variation effect are started. 70 (display control CPU 70a) is set to output. In the display control board 70, when an operation valid command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the content of the effect specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the display data is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Configured to display. In other words, in this embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a also has a function of an effective period setting means for setting the first effective operation time for enabling the operation of the operation button 36. In this embodiment, as the selectable effects during the period in which the effect type mode can be selected, the image of the operation button 36 is displayed on the symbol display device 17, and the effect type mode can be selected by pressing the operation button 36. It has come to be suggested. Further, a lamp built in the operation button 36 may be turned on to indicate that the button operation is effective.

  The overall control CPU 65a is configured to switch the effect type mode in response to a pressing signal output when the player presses the operation button 36 in a state where a selectable effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17. . That is, in the state of waiting for change, the overall control CPU 65a sequentially switches the effect type mode each time the operation button 36 is pressed and a pressing signal is input, and a new time is elapsed even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the last pressing signal was input. When there is no input of a press signal, the overall control CPU 65a stores information (flag or the like) specifying the effect type mode switched by the last press signal in the overall control RAM 65c, thereby grasping the current effect type mode. It is like that. The overall control CPU 65a receives a press signal until the first effective operation time during the symbol variation effect elapses, and sequentially switches the effect type mode, and is selected when the first effective operation time elapses ( Information specifying the effect type mode (which has been switched) is stored in the overall control RAM 65c as information of the selected effect type mode.

  In this embodiment, when the operation button 36 is pressed, the first effect type mode MA, the second effect type mode MB, the third effect type mode MC, and the fourth effect type mode MD are switched in this order. Next to the fourth effect type mode MD, it is set to return to the first effect type mode MA. Therefore, if the current effect type mode is the third effect type mode MC, the fourth effect type mode MD, the first effect type mode MA, the second effect type mode MB,.・ Switches to. Then, the pachinko machine 10 internally sets the effect type mode selected by the mode switching operation by the operation button 36, holds the effect type mode set internally until the next mode switching operation, Various effects can be executed based on the retained effect type mode. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game can be performed while staying in any one mode selected from the production type modes MA, MB, MC, MD.

(About one-shot notification effect)
In the pachinko machine 10, when the big hit determination triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball to the first and second start winning ports 31a, 31b is affirmative determination, the big hit during the symbol change effect on the symbol display device 17 A one-shot notification effect (privilege state notification effect) for notifying that (privilege state) occurs is configured to be executable. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the one-shot notification effect and the execution timing based on the fluctuation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a. It is configured to execute the one-shot notification effect at the effect execution timing determined by the overall control CPU 65a. And in the execution determination of the one-shot notification effect described later, the probability of deciding to execute the one-shot notification effect is the effect type mode MA, MB, MC, MD that is staying in the determination of the one-shot notification effect. It is set differently. Note that, in this embodiment, when a big hit that becomes a non-probable change state is won in the positive determination of the big hit determination in the probability variation state, the one-shot notification effect is not performed.

(About one-shot notification production pattern)
In this embodiment, the one-shot notification effect is a plurality of (ten in this embodiment) one-shot notification effect patterns specified by the effect pattern determined based on the variation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a. K1 to K10 are set, and these one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 are stored in the overall control ROM 65b. Each of the one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 is an effect of rotating the movable body 26a of the movable effect device 26, an effect of turning on and off (flashing) the light emitter in the movable lamp device 28, and a specific effect output from the speaker 19. The effect by sound is comprised by the effect which combined single or plural.

  The one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 of the embodiment are configured by combining the rotation effect of the movable body 26a, the flashing effect of the light emitter, and the sound effect effect of the speaker 19 as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B. The contents of the effects specified by the one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 are made different by changing some or all of the effects specified by the effect patterns. Specific contents of the production of the one-shot notification production patterns K1 to K10 in the embodiment are as described below. In the following description of the one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10, the rotation effect time of the movable body 26a, the blinking effect time of the light emitter, and the sound effect effect time of the speaker 19 are all examples.

  That is, in the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, the effect time of the entire effect (hereinafter simply referred to as effect time) is set to 8000 ms, and the movable body 26a is continuously set from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect. It is set to rotate in the direction (clockwise in the embodiment). In addition, the light-emitting body was turned on after the start of the one-shot notification effect, turned off after 1500 ms, and after the light-off state continued for 2500 ms, a pattern of repeating 100 ms on and 100 ms off was performed 10 times, and the pattern was completed. It is set so that the light is turned on after the light is turned off for 500 ms later and turned off when the one-shot notification effect ends. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output from the start of the one-shot notification effect, muted in accordance with the first light-off of the light emitter, and output in accordance with the next light-on of the light emitter. It is set to mute after continuing the output until the end of the notification effect.

  The second one-shot notification effect pattern K2 is set to 8000 ms, which is the same as the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, and the movable body 26a is continuously unidirectional from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect pattern (implemented). It is set to rotate clockwise in the example. In addition, the light-emitting body is turned on after the start of the one-shot notification effect, is turned off after 1500 ms, and after the light-off state is continued for 2500 ms, a pattern of repeating 500 ms on and 500 ms off is performed four times to perform the one-shot notification effect. Set to end. Furthermore, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output from the start of the one-shot notification effect, and is set to be muted in accordance with the first turn-off of the illuminant and to remain in the mute state until the end of the one-shot notification effect. . That is, in the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2, the effect time and the effect mode of the movable body 26a are the same as the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, but the flashing mode of the light emitter and the output of the sound effect by the speaker 19 The mode is set to be different from the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1.

  The third one-shot notification effect pattern K3 is set to 9000 ms, which is longer than the first and second one-shot notification effect patterns K1 and K2, and the movable body 26a is set in one direction from the start of the one-shot notification effect (implemented). In the example, it is set to rotate clockwise), stop rotating after 500 ms, continue the rotation stop state for 4500 ms, and then continue to rotate until the end of the one-shot notification effect. Also, the light emitter is turned on 5000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect, that is, when the movable body 26a resumes rotation, and thereafter, a pattern of repeating 100 ms on and 100 ms off is performed 10 times. After the end, it is set so that the light is turned off after 500 ms is turned off and turned off when the one-shot notification effect is finished. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output 5000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect, that is, in accordance with the resumption of the rotation of the movable body 26a and the lighting of the light emitter, and is output as it is until the end of the one-shot notification effect. Set to mute later. That is, the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3 is characterized in that the light emitting body is turned on and the output of the sound effect from the speaker 19 is started in accordance with the resumption of the rotation of the movable body 26a that has been once rotated and stopped.

  The fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4 is set to 9500 ms, whose effect time is longer than the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3, and the movable body 26a is one direction from the start of the one-shot notification effect (in the embodiment, clockwise). The rotation is stopped after 500 ms, the rotation stop state is continued for 4500 ms, the rotation is restarted, and the rotation is continued until the end of the one-shot notification effect. In addition, the light-emitting body is turned on 5000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect, that is, when the movable body 26a resumes rotation, and thereafter, a pattern that repeats turning on 500 ms and turning off 500 ms is performed five times. It is set to end the production. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output 5000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect, that is, in accordance with the resumption of the rotation of the movable body 26a and the lighting of the light emitter, and is muted after the output state is continued for 1500 ms. It is set to maintain the mute state until the end of the calling notification effect. In other words, the fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4 is the same as the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3 until the rotation of the movable body 26a is resumed, but the subsequent flashing mode of the light emitter and the output after the effect from the speaker 19 is obtained. The aspect is different from the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3.

  The fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5 is set to 8000 ms, the same as the first notification notification effect pattern K1, and the movable body 26a starts rotating 4000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect (in the embodiment). It is set so that the rotation continues and stops until the end of the one-shot notification effect. In addition, the light-emitting body is turned on after the start of the one-shot notification effect and turned off after 500 ms. After the light-off state continues for 3500 ms, that is, in conjunction with the start of rotation of the movable body 26a, the light-up body is turned off with 100 ms. A pattern that repeats 100 ms is performed 10 times, and after the pattern is completed, the light is turned on after the light is turned off for 500 ms and then turned off when the one-shot notification effect ends. Furthermore, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output 4000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect, that is, in accordance with the start of rotation of the movable body 26a and the lighting of the light emitter, and the output state is maintained until the end of the one-shot notification effect. Set to do. That is, in the fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5, after the illuminator that has been turned on simultaneously with the start of the one-shot notification effect is temporarily turned off, the rotation of the movable body 26a, the lighting of the illuminant, and the output after the effect from the speaker 19 are output. It is characterized by starting at the same time.

  The sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6 has an effect time set to 8000 ms, which is the same as the fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5, and the movable body 26a starts rotating 4000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect (in the embodiment). It is set so that the rotation continues and stops until the end of the one-shot notification effect. In addition, the light-emitting body is turned on after the start of the one-shot notification effect and is turned off after 500 ms. After the light-off state continues for 3500 ms, that is, when the movable body 26a starts rotating, the light-up body is turned on and turned off for 500 ms. A pattern that repeats 500 ms is performed three times, and is set to turn on after the pattern ends and turn off when the one-shot notification effect ends. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output 4000 ms after the start of the one-shot notification effect, that is, in accordance with the start of the rotation of the movable body 26a and the lighting of the light emitter, and is muted after the output state is continued for 1500 ms. It is set to maintain the mute state until the end of the calling notification effect. That is, the sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6 is the same as the fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5 until the start of rotation of the movable body 26a, but the subsequent flashing mode of the light emitter and the output after the effect from the speaker 19 The mode is different from the fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5.

  The seventh notification effect pattern K7 has an effect time set to 5200 ms, and the movable body 26a is set to continuously rotate in one direction (clockwise in the embodiment) from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect. Is done. In addition, the light-emitting body was turned on after the start of the one-shot notification effect, turned off after 1500 ms, and after the light-off state continued for 1500 ms, a pattern of repeating 100 ms on and 100 ms off was performed six times, and the pattern was finished. It is set so that the light is turned on after the light is turned off for 500 ms later and turned off when the one-shot notification effect ends. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output from the start of the one-shot notification effect, muted in accordance with the first light-off of the light emitter, and output in accordance with the next light-on of the light emitter. It is set to mute after continuing the output until the end of the notification effect. That is, the seventh one-shot notification effect pattern K7 is basically the same as the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1 in the effect mode of the movable body 26a, the flashing mode of the light emitter, and the output mode of the sound effect by the speaker 19. It is a shortened specification that shortens the production time.

  The eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8 is the same as the seventh one-call notification effect pattern K7 in the effect time, the effect mode of the movable body 26a, and the flashing mode of the light emitter, and only the output mode of the sound effect from the speaker 19 is the first. 7 is different from the one-shot notification effect pattern K7. In other words, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output from the start of the one-shot notification effect, is set to be muted in accordance with the initial turn-off of the illuminator, and the mute state is continued until the end of the one-shot notification effect. .

  The ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9 has an effect time set to 11034 ms, and the movable body 26a is set to continuously rotate in one direction (in the example, clockwise) from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect. Is done. The light emitter is also set to be lit from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect and turned off when the one-shot notification effect ends. Furthermore, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is set to be output from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect and to be silenced when the one-shot notification effect ends. That is, the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9 is characterized in that the rotation of the movable body 26a, the lighting of the light emitter, and the output of the sound effect from the speaker 19 are continued from the start to the end of the one-shot notification effect. This is a premium one-shot notification effect.

  The tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10 is set to the same 11034ms as the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9. It is set to rotate clockwise in the example. Further, the light emitter is set to be turned on after the start of the one-shot notification effect and turned off after 1000 ms, and the light-off state is continued until the end of the one-shot notification effect. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 19 is output from the start of the one-shot notification effect, is set to be muted in accordance with the light-emitting body being turned off, and the mute state is continued until the end of the one-shot notification effect.

  In the present embodiment, the one-shot notification effect is configured by the effects of the movable body 26a, the light emitter, and the speaker 19 except for the display effect on the symbol display device 17, but the display effect on the symbol display device 17 may be combined. Alternatively, the one-shot notification effect may be configured only by the display effect of the symbol display device 17.

  The rotation pattern of the movable body 26a that constitutes the one-shot notification effect is a dedicated rotation pattern that is used only in the one-shot notification effect, and that the big hit is fixed when the player sees the rotation pattern. It is preferable to set the rotation pattern so that it can be easily recalled. In addition, the flashing pattern of the illuminant that constitutes the one-shot notification effect and the specific sound effect output from the speaker 19 are also a dedicated blink pattern and sound effect that are used only in the one-shot notification effect. It is preferable to set the flashing pattern or sound so that it can be easily recalled that the jackpot is confirmed when the pattern is viewed or the sound effect is heard. Note that, as in the ninth one-shot notification production pattern K9, the production mode of the movable body 26a, the flashing mode of the light emitter, and the output mode of the sound effect from the speaker 19 are other one-shot notification production patterns K1 to K8, K10. Is clearly different (in the embodiment, it continues for a long time), so that it can be easily recalled that the jackpot is determined.

(About the performance execution timing of the one-shot notification effect)
The overall control ROM 65b stores a plurality of types of effect patterns that can be selected based on the variation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a. This effect pattern specifies specific contents such as a reach effect, a re-change effect, a re-lottery effect, etc., which are symbol change effects to be executed by the symbol display device 17. In this embodiment, the one-shot notification effect can be executed in one symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 17 based on the effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern with the longest time that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a. A plurality of (10 kinds) production execution timings F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, and F10 are set. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, in response to a change in the effect of change start → upper symbol row stop → lower symbol row stop → normal reach effect → super reach effect (SP reach effect) → change stop (middle symbol stop) 10 kinds of effect execution timings F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, and F10 are set. Specifically, the first effect execution timing F1 and the tenth effect execution timing F10 are set at the start of symbol variation, the second effect execution timing F2 is set 4000 ms after the symbol variation start, and the third effect execution timing F3. Is set when the upper symbol row 81 is stopped, the fourth effect execution timing F4 is set when the lower symbol row 83 is stopped, and the fifth effect execution timing F5 is set when developing to the super reach effect, The effect execution timing F6 is set when the operation button 36 is pressed for the first time during the super reach effect, and the seventh effect execution timing F7 is set when the operation button 36 is pressed for the second time during the super reach effect. The production execution timing F8 is set when the operation button 36 is pressed for the third time during the super reach production. , 9th effect execution timing F9 is set at the beginning of the symbol tilt effect described above in the super reach demonstration.

(Regarding the execution determination of the one-shot notification effect and the lottery of the effect execution timing)
The probability of affirmative determination (execution) in the execution determination as to whether or not to execute the one-shot notification effect varies depending on the effect type modes MA, MB, MC, and MD that are staying at the time of execution determination, as described above. It is set as follows. In the present embodiment, the execution execution timing of the one-shot notification effect is also determined at the time of execution determination. That is, the overall control CPU 60a determines whether or not the one-shot notification effect can be executed using the execution determination random number and the execution determination value stored in the overall control ROM 65b according to the variation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a. At the same time, the performance execution timing is determined. In this embodiment, the six types of variation patterns E1 to E6 will be described as variation patterns.

  In this embodiment, 97 integer values from “0” to “96” are set as execution determination random numbers, and the overall control CPU 65a updates the execution determination random numbers one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). The updated value is temporarily stored in the overall control RAM 65c, and the value before the update is rewritten. The overall control ROM 65b stores an execution determination table for each effect type mode MA, MB, MC, and MD, and the execution determination value in each execution determination table is “0” which can be an execution determination random number. “97” integers of “96” are allotted to the above described performance execution timings F1 to F10 and “no execution” (see FIGS. 15 to 18). When the variation control designation command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the case of an affirmative determination in the big hit determination, the overall control CPU 65a acquires an execution determination random number, and uses the acquired execution determination random number as an execution determination table. The execution execution timing is determined together with the determination as to whether or not to execute the one-shot notification effect as compared with the execution determination value set in the above. That is, in the execution determination table, there are set a plurality of types of effect execution timings F1 to F10 and “no execution” items that do not execute the one-shot notification effect, and any one of the effect execution timings F1 to F10 is selected. If so, it is determined that the one-shot notification effect is to be executed, and if the “no execution” item is selected, it is determined that the one-shot notification effect is not to be executed. Further, in this embodiment, depending on the game state (probability change state, non-probability change state) when the affirmative determination is made in the jackpot determination, the execution execution timing of the one-shot notification effect is different for each effect type mode MA, MB, MC, MD. Are determined using different execution determination tables. Note that the execution determination table used in the probability variation state and the execution determination table used in the non-probability variation state differ only in the ratio of the execution determination value assigned to each effect execution timing F1 to F10. The execution determination table used in FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIGS.

(About distribution of performance execution timing in the 1st performance type mode)
FIG. 15 is a first execution determination table corresponding to the first effect type mode MA, and for the first variation pattern E1, the execution determination value is “0” to “3” at the first effect execution timing F1. ”Are assigned, one execution decision value“ 4 ”is assigned to the second effect execution timing F2, and two values“ 5 ”to“ 6 ”are assigned to the third effect execution timing F3. The execution determination values of “7” to “13” are assigned to the fourth effect execution timing F4, and “14” to “15” are assigned to the tenth effect execution timing F10. The execution determination values of “16” to “96” are distributed to “no execution”. In addition, for each of the second variation pattern E2 to the fourth variation pattern E4, four execution determination values “0” to “3” are assigned to the first effect execution timing F1. Two execution determination values “4” to “5” are assigned to the second effect execution timing F2, and two execution determination values “6” to “7” are assigned to the third effect execution timing F3. Eight execution determination values “8” to “15” are assigned to the four effect execution timings F4, and 81 execution determination values “16” to “96” are assigned to “No execution”. Further, for each of the fifth variation pattern E5 to the sixth variation pattern E6, three execution determination values “0” to “2” are assigned to the first effect execution timing F1. One execution determination value “3” is assigned to the second effect execution timing F2, one execution determination value “4” is assigned to the third effect execution timing F3, and “5” is assigned to the fourth effect execution timing F4. ”To“ 8 ”are assigned, four execution decision values“ 9 ”to“ 12 ”are assigned to the fifth effect execution timing F5, and“ 13 ”is assigned to the ninth effect execution timing F9. ”To“ 15 ”are assigned to three execution determination values, and“ No execution ”is assigned to 81 execution determination values“ 16 ”to“ 96 ”. When the variation patterns E1 to E6 are input from the main control CPU 60a, the overall control CPU 65a acquires an execution determination random number and uses the acquired execution determination random number as an execution determination set in the execution determination table.

  In addition, the first production type mode MA and the fourth production type mode MD are compared, and in both modes MA and MD, even if the same variation pattern is used, the number of execution determination values assigned to “no execution” is assigned. Thus, even if the same variation pattern is input from the main control CPU 60a to the overall control CPU 65a, one notification is made depending on the type of the effect type modes MA and MD staying at the time of input. The probability that the production is executed is different. Further, the first effect type mode MA and the third effect type mode MC are compared, and in both modes MA and MC, the selectable effect execution timings are set to be different even in the same variation pattern. For example, regarding the fifth variation pattern E5, in the first effect type mode MA, it is possible to select from six types of the first effect execution timing F1 to the fifth effect execution timing F5 and the ninth effect execution timing F9. In the third effect type mode MC, it is possible to select from the seven types of the first effect execution timing F1 and the fourth effect execution timing F4 to the ninth effect execution timing F9.

Furthermore, comparing the first effect type mode MA, the third effect type mode MC, and the fourth effect type mode MD, in each mode MA, MC, MD, the types of effect execution timings that can be selected with the same variation pattern, Even if the number is the same, the selection probabilities are set to be different among a plurality of selectable performance execution timings.

(About the sixth to eighth effect execution timings F6 to F8)
The overall control CPU 65a makes a second effective operation time for enabling the operation of the operation button 36 in accordance with the performance execution timings F6, F7, and F8 during the super reach effect, which is a specific period during the symbol variation effect. Three effective operation times and a fourth effective operation time are set, and a one-shot notification effect can be executed on condition that the operation button 36 is pressed within each effective operation time. That is, the overall control CPU 65a outputs, to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a), an operation valid command for validating the operation of the operation button 36 at the production execution timings F6, F7, F8 during the super reach production. In 70, when an operation valid command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the production content specified by the command, and displays the display content corresponding to the display data on the symbol display device 17. Is done. As an executable effect when specifying the execution execution timings F6, F7, and F8 of the one-shot notification effect, the image of the operation button 36 is displayed on the symbol display device 17, and the operation button 36 is prompted to be pressed. Yes. Further, a lamp built in the operation button 36 may be turned on to indicate that the button operation is effective.

  When the general control CPU 65a receives a press signal from the operation button 36 during the effective operation time during the super reach production corresponding to the production execution timings F6, F7, and F8 determined in advance by the execution determination, It is configured to perform a one-shot notification effect within the effective operation time. That is, when the sixth effect execution timing F6 is determined as the effect execution timing, a press signal from the operation button 36 in a state where the executable effect corresponding to the second effective operation time is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Is input, the overall control CPU 65a controls the drive motor 27, the movable body lamp device 28, and the speaker 19 so as to perform a one-shot notification effect within the second effective operation time. However, when the seventh effect execution timing F7 and the eighth effect execution timing F8 are determined as the effect execution timing, even if the pressing signal is input from the operation button 36 within the second effective operation time, the overall control CPU 65a It is configured not to perform a one-shot notification effect. Further, when the sixth effect execution timing F6 is determined as the effect execution timing, and there is no input of a press signal from the operation button 36 within the second effective operation time corresponding to the sixth effect execution timing F6, The overall control CPU 65a is configured not to perform the one-shot notification effect even when it is determined to execute the one-shot notification effect. In addition, when there is no input of a pressing signal from the operation button 36 within the second effective operation time, the one-shot notification effect can be forcibly executed when the second effective operation time elapses.

  Similarly, when the seventh effect execution timing F7 or the eighth effect execution timing F8 is determined as the effect execution timing, an executable effect corresponding to the third effective operation time or the fourth effective operation time is displayed on the symbol display device 17. When a pressing signal is input from the operation button 36 in a state where is displayed, a one-shot notification effect is performed within the third effective operation time or the fourth effective operation time. However, when different production execution timings are determined as production execution timings, the overall control CPU 65a is configured not to perform a one-shot notification production even if a pressing signal is input from the operation button 36 within an unsupported effective operation time. It is. Moreover, although it is determined to execute the one-shot notification effect at the seventh effect execution timing F7 or the eighth effect execution timing F8, it corresponds to the seventh effect execution timing F7 or the eighth effect execution timing F8. When there is no input of a pressing signal from the operation button 36 within the third effective operation time or the fourth effective operation time, the overall control CPU 65a is configured not to perform the one-shot notification effect. In addition, when no pressing signal is input from the operation button 36 within the third or fourth effective operation time, the one-shot notification effect is forcibly executed when the third or fourth effective operation time elapses. You can also

  In addition, when the production execution timing for executing the one-shot notification production is determined to be any one of the sixth to eighth production execution timings F6 to F8, within the effective operation time corresponding to the decided production execution timing. When there is no input of a pressing signal from the operation button 36, a one-shot notification effect may be forcibly performed after the effective operation time has elapsed. In addition, in a state where the execution execution timing of the one-shot notification effect can be determined by the button operation, it is not suggested to the player by the display of the symbol display device 17 or the lighting of the lamp of the operation button 36 that the button operation is effective. In this case, only a specific player who knows that there is a possibility that a one-shot notification effect is executed by a button operation can be experienced. A sense of superiority can be given.

(Regarding the lottery of one-shot notification production pattern)
The one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 are integrated control CPU 60a according to the effect execution timings F1 to F10 determined in the execution determination and the type of decoration (symbol) that is finally fixed and stopped in the symbol variation effect. In the one-shot notification effect pattern distribution lottery performed in step 1, the one-shot notification effect pattern random number and the one-shot notification effect pattern determination value stored in the overall control ROM 65b are used.

  In this embodiment, 97 integer values from “0” to “96” are set as random numbers for the one-shot notification effect pattern, and the overall control CPU 65a uses the random numbers for the one-shot notification effect pattern for a predetermined period. It is configured to update one by one at (4 ms), temporarily store the updated value in the overall control RAM 65c, and rewrite the value before the update. The general control ROM 65b stores a one-shot notification pattern table used for lottery of one-shot notification effect patterns corresponding to each of the performance execution timings F1 to F10. The determination values for the one-shot notification effect pattern are all “0” to “96” that can be taken by the random numbers for the one-shot notification effect pattern for each one-shot notification pattern lottery table corresponding to the respective performance execution timings F1 to F10. 97 integers are assigned to the one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 (see FIG. 19). Then, the overall control CPU 65a uses the random value for the one-shot notification effect pattern acquired when the change pattern designation command is input from the main control CPU 60a for the one-shot notification effect pattern set in the one-shot notification pattern table. Compared to the determination value, one of the plurality of types of one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the first one-shot notification pattern table used when the first performance execution timing F1 is determined, when the final stop decoration is an odd number, the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, the third Three types of one notification effect patterns K3 and five fifth notification effect patterns K5 are set, and 97 types of one notification are provided for the three types of one notification effect patterns K1, K2, and K3. Production pattern determination values are assigned. Specifically, forty first notification effect pattern determination values “0” to “39” are assigned to the first one notification effect pattern K1, and from “40” to third notification notification effect pattern K3. 28 different one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “67” are assigned, and 29 first-generation notification effect pattern determination values “68” to “96” are assigned to the fifth one-call notification effect pattern K5. ing. On the other hand, in the first one-shot notification pattern table, when the final stop decoration is an even number, the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2, the fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4, and the sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6. Three types of one-shot notification effect patterns are set, and 97 types of one-shot notification effect pattern determination values are assigned to the three types of one-shot notification effect patterns K2, K4, and K6. Specifically, forty second notification effect pattern determination values “0” to “39” are assigned to the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2, and “40” to “fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4”. 28 different one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “67” are assigned, and 29 first-generation notification effect pattern determination values “68” to “96” are assigned to the sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the second to fifth one-shot notification pattern tables used when the second effect execution timing F <b> 2 to the fifth effect execution timing F <b> 5 are determined, the final stop decorations are odd numbers and even numbers. The type of the one-shot notification effect pattern and the distribution ratio of the determination value for the one-shot notification effect pattern for each one-shot notification effect pattern are set to be the same as the first effect execution timing F1. On the other hand, in the sixth and seventh one-shot notification pattern tables used when the sixth effect execution timing F6 and the seventh effect execution timing F7 are determined, the seventh stop decoration drawing is the seventh in comparison with the odd number. Only the one-shot notification effect pattern K7 is set, and only the eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8 is set for the case where the final stop decoration is an even number. Further, in the eighth and ninth one-shot notification pattern tables used when the eighth effect execution timing F8 and the ninth effect execution timing F9 are determined, for the case where the final stop decoration is an odd number or an even number Also, only the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10 is set. Further, in the tenth one-shot notification pattern table used when the tenth effect execution timing F10 is determined, only the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9 is set for the case where the final stop decoration is an odd number. For the case where the final stop decoration is an even number, only the second first notification effect pattern K2 is set. That is, for five types of sixth to tenth effect execution timings F6 to F10, 97 one-time notification effect pattern determination values “0” to “96” are determined in one determinable one-shot notification effect pattern. It is distributed.

  That is, for each of the effect type modes MA, MB, MC, and MD that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a, the ratio at which each execution execution timing is determined by the overall control CPU 65a is set from a plurality of determined execution execution timings F1 to F10. Yes. In addition, for each of the performance execution timings F1 to F10 determined by the overall control CPU 65a, types of one-shot notification effects (privilege state notification effects) that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a (one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10) are determined. ing. Further, the types of one-shot notification effect patterns that can be selected differ depending on the effect execution timing. For example, the first notification effect pattern K1 to the first notification effect pattern K6 can be selected at the effect execution timings from the first effect execution timing F1 to the fifth effect execution timing F5. On the other hand, the one-shot notification production pattern that can be selected at the production execution timings from the seventh production execution timing F7 to the ninth production execution timing F9 is the seventh one-shot production production pattern K7 to the tenth production production production pattern K10. Set to The one-shot notification effect pattern that can be selected in the case of the tenth effect execution timing F10 is set to the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2 or the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10.

  Here, in the one-shot notification effect pattern, the types and distribution ratios that can be selected differ depending on whether the final stop decoration of the symbol variation effect is an odd number or an even number. In this embodiment, since the odd numbered decoration corresponds to the probability variation jackpot and the even number decoration is a decoration drawing that cannot be identified as the probability variation big hit or the non-probable variation big hit, the one-shot notification effect pattern is after the big hit game It can be said that the types and distribution ratios that can be selected differ depending on the game state to be given. The one-shot notification effect pattern K1 that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a when the decoration figure that is finally determined and stopped in the symbol variation effect is an odd-numbered decoration diagram (first symbol) is the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, Any one of the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3, the fifth one-call notification effect pattern K5, the seventh one-call notification effect pattern K7, the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9, and the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10. On the other hand, the one-shot notification effect pattern that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a when the decoration figure that is finally confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation effect is the even-numbered decoration diagram (second symbol) is the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2. The fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4, the sixth one-call notification effect pattern K6, the eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8, and the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10. That is, the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, the third one-call notification effect pattern K3, the fifth one-call notification effect pattern K5, the seventh one-call notification effect pattern K7, and the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9 are the big hit games. This is a one-shot notification effect pattern (first privilege state notification effect) that can be selected in the case of a big hit (probability big hit) to which a probability change state is given later, a second one-shot notification effect pattern K2, a fourth one-shot notification effect pattern. K4, the sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6, and the eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8 are cases of big hits (probability big hit, non-probable big hit) that may or may not be given after the big hit game. This is a selectable one-shot notification effect pattern (second privilege state notification effect), and the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10 can be selected in either case of probability variation big hit or non-probability big hit. A notification effect pattern. In addition, as a condition for making the selectable type and distribution ratio of the one-shot notification effect pattern different, the type of symbol affirmatively determined in the jackpot determination, that is, the jackpot game that is the most advantageous for the player (the bonus amount is large) You may make it divide into the symbol A, a to which the special probability variable big hit game is given, and the symbols B, C, b, c to which the other big hit game is given.

  That is, when the determination result of the big hit determination by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative determination, the big hit game (privilege state given to the player) is given based on the variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. The overall control CPU 65a has a function as notification effect execution determination means for determining execution of a one-shot notification effect (privilege state notification effect) to be notified. In addition, when it is determined that the one-shot notification effect is to be executed in the execution determination of the one-shot notification effect, the overall control CPU 65a receives the symbol variation effect from the start based on the variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. Execution timing determining means for determining the effect execution timing of the one-shot notification effect from a plurality of effect execution timings F1 to F10 determined until the end of the game, and one-shot notification effect pattern of the one-shot notification effect (privilege state) Notification effect) It also has a function of notification effect selection means for selecting one notification effect pattern from K1 to K10. Further, the overall control CPU 65a serves as a mode determining means for determining one effect type mode from among a plurality of effect type modes MA, MB, MC, MD having different effect contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17. Is configured to work.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the one-shot notification effect is configured so that the one-shot notification effect can be executed only when the jackpot symbol is a specific symbol type. With reference to FIG. 21, description will be given on whether or not to execute the effect and the process for determining the one-shot notification effect. Here, the description will be made assuming that the symbol A in the jackpot symbol is a specific symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative determination, it is determined in step C1 whether or not the positive hit big hit symbol is the special figure 1 classified as the symbol A. If C1 is negative, the process ends. On the other hand, if the result is affirmative in step C1, the process proceeds to step C2 to check the game type mode currently staying, and the execution determination table according to the game type mode staying moved to step C3. Is used to determine the execution determination of the one-shot notification effect and the effect execution timing. In the process at Step C3, when “No Execution” is selected as described above (No at Step C3), the process ends. On the other hand, when one production execution timing is selected from ten (Yes in Step C3), the selected production execution timing is determined in Step C4.

  In step C5, a one-shot notification effect pattern is selected and determined using the one-shot notification pattern table corresponding to the performance execution timing determined in step C4, and the process ends.

  Here, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to read values from the probability change flag and the operation flag assigned to the overall control RAM 65c, and specify whether or not a probability change state or a change state is given. The probability variation flag is a flag indicating whether or not a probability variation state is assigned. When the probability variation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that a probability variation state is assigned, and “0” is set. If it is, it indicates that the probability variation state is not given. Further, the operation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the variable state is assigned. When the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the variable state is assigned. When “0” is set, it indicates that the variable state is not given. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to execute a promotion lottery lottery to be described later in accordance with the gaming state specified based on the probability variation flag and the operation flag. The probability variation flag and the operation flag are rewritten based on a control command related to the type of jackpot input from the main control CPU 60a.

(About promotion production)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment is executed after the symbol variation effect when the jackpot symbol combination consisting of an even number of decorations is displayed in a fixed stop state in the case of a positive determination in the jackpot determination. During the big hit game, the promotion effect can be executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of promotion effects (seven in the embodiment, but may be 2 to 6 or 8 or more) that specify the specific contents of the promotion effects. Patterns (notification effect information) L1 to L7 are set, and the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 are stored in the overall control ROM 65b. As for the promotion effect, the first promotion notification effect (first notification effect) that can be recognized that the probability change state (privilege state) is given and the fact that the probability change state (privilege state) is given cannot be recognized. 2 promotion notification effects (second notification effects). The promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 include at least one of the first promotion notification effect and the second promotion notification effect.

  In the first promotion notification effect, a plurality of types of notification effects having different effect contents are set. In this example, using a time corresponding to multiple round games of jackpot game, after executing a privilege state suggesting effect that suggests that a probability variation state (privilege state) is granted, a probability variation state (privilege state) As with the first special notification effect in which a definite notification effect capable of recognizing that is given, and the one-shot notification effect, a certain change state is given by the movable body 36a, the light emitter, the speaker 19, and the like. A first promotion finalizing effect for performing the effect of recognizing this, and a second promotion finalizing effect for performing the effect of recognizing that a certain character is given to the symbol display device 17 to appear. The second promotion notification effect is basically the same effect mode as the first promotion confirmation effect, and a privilege state suggestion effect that suggests that a certain change state (privilege state) is given is executed. After that, a second special notification effect is executed in which a confirmed non-notification effect that cannot be recognized that a certain change state (privilege state) is given is included.

(About the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect)
Regarding the basic effects of the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect, a plurality of (three in the embodiment) characters compete in a predetermined game (for example, beach flag game) to determine the winner. It is set to be executed in such a manner that the confrontation effect is developed. When the character predicted by the player wins (definite notification effect), the player can definitely recognize that the probable change state is given after the big hit game ends, while the predicted character is defeated (definite In the case of the notification effect), the player cannot recognize that the probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. That is, the effect configured to win the character predicted by the player is the first special notification effect, and the effect configured to defeat the character predicted by the player is the second special notification effect. The first special notification effect includes a plurality of types with different winning characters, and the second special notification effect includes a plurality of types with different defeating characters.

  More specifically, the basic effect modes of the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect will be described. The first special notification effect and the second special notification effect are spread over a plurality of round games. Done. In the embodiment, one round game corresponds to one promotion round effect, and the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect correspond to a plurality of promotions corresponding to a plurality of round games. Consists of round effects. In the present embodiment, the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect are composed of four promotion round effects of a first promotion round effect to a fourth promotion round effect, as shown in FIG. In the first promotion round effect, an effect explaining the content of the competition is executed, in the second promotion round effect, an effect that allows the player to select a winner is executed, and in the third promotion round effect In the fourth promotion round effect, an effect of announcing the result of whether the character selected by the player has won or lost is executed. That is, in the case of the first special notification effect, the character selected by the player wins in the fourth promotion round effect, and the effect that the player delights is performed. In the 4 promotion round effect, an effect that the character selected by the player is defeated and sad is executed. In the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect, the first to third promotion round effects are the privilege state suggesting effects. Further, in this embodiment, round games that can start execution of the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect regardless of the types of the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7, from the fourth round to the eleventh round. It is configured so that it can be determined from between. That is, since the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect are both performed in the first to third promotion round effects, the privilege state suggesting effects are the same times, In both the first special notification effect and the second special notification effect, the privilege state suggestion effect is executed at the same timing.

  Here, in accordance with the second promotion round effect, the overall control CPU 65a sets a fifth effective operation time corresponding to the round game time, and operates the operation button 36 during the fifth effective operation time. Is set so as to output an operation valid command for validating to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation valid command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the content of the effect specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the display data is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Configured to display. That is, in this embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a also has a function of a valid period setting means for setting a fifth valid operation time for validating the operation of the operation button 36. The fifth effective operation time is basically set to the same as the round game time that the special prize opening can be released in one round game, but before the round game time elapses, the special prize opening is set. When the prescribed number (seven) of pachinko balls wins and the end condition of the round game is satisfied, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to invalidate the operation of the operation button 36.

  In the present embodiment, as a winner selectable effect for selecting a winner in the second promotion round effect, an image of three characters is displayed on the symbol display device 17 and a cursor is positioned at a position corresponding to the currently selected character. Is displayed. Further, an image of the operation button 36 is displayed, and it is suggested that the character can be selected by pressing the operation button 36. Each time the operation button 36 is pressed, the cursor position is displayed so as to move in order. Further, a lamp built in the operation button 36 may be turned on to indicate that the button operation is effective. When the fifth effective operation time elapses or when the end condition of the round game is satisfied, a winner prediction command for specifying the character corresponding to the position of the cursor is input from the display control CPU 70a to the general control CPU 65a. The overall control CPU 65a can recognize the character selected by the player.

(About the first promotion finalization)
The first promotion confirmation effect is an effect performed by the movable body 36a, the light emitter and the speaker 19 within the time of one round game, and the movement of the movable body 36a, the light of the light emitter and the speaker 19 It is configured so that the player can definitely recognize that the probability variation state is given by the notification sound. And in a present Example, it is comprised so that the round game which can perform a 1st promotion confirmation effect can be set between the 4th round-the 14th round by the kind of the said promotion effect patterns L1-L7. The first promotion confirmation effect may be an effect using one or two of the movable body 36a, the light emitter, and the speaker 19 without using the three.

(About the 2nd promotion confirmation production)
In the second promotion finalizing effect, a special character that does not appear in the normal hit effect within the time of one round game appears on the screen of the symbol display device 17, so that a probability change state is given after the big hit game ends. This is configured so that the player can definitely recognize this. In the present embodiment, the round game in which the second promotion confirmed effect can be executed is specified as the 15th round (final round) regardless of the types of the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7.

(About promotion production pattern)
As shown in FIG. 23, the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 of this embodiment are any one of the first special notification effect, the second special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, and the second promotion confirmation effect. It is configured by combining a plurality. That is, the first promotion effect pattern L1 includes only the first special notification effect, and does not include the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmed effect, and the second promotion confirmed effect. The second promotion effect pattern L2 is a pattern that combines the second special notification effect and the second promotion confirmed effect, and does not include the first special notification effect. The third promotion effect pattern L3 is a pattern that combines the second special notification effect and the second promotion confirmed effect, and does not include the first special notification effect. The fourth promotion effect pattern L4 includes only the first promotion confirmation effect, and does not include the first special notification effect, the second special notification effect, and the second promotion confirmation effect. The fifth promotion effect pattern L5 includes only the second promotion confirmation effect, and does not include the first special notification effect, the second special notification effect, and the first promotion confirmation effect. The sixth promotion effect pattern L6 is a pattern in which none of the first special notification effect, the second special notification effect, the first promotion confirmed effect, and the second promotion confirmed effect is performed. The seventh promotion effect pattern L7 includes only the second special notification effect, and does not include the second special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, and the second promotion confirmation effect.

(Regarding lottery process of promotion effect pattern)
In this embodiment, in the promotion pattern lottery process executed by the overall control CPU 65a, the first promotion effect patterns L1 to 7 are used by using the promotion pattern random number and the promotion pattern determination value stored in the overall control ROM 65b. One of the promotion effect patterns L7 is determined. In this embodiment, selectable promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 are set to be different depending on the type of jackpot symbol. Specifically, selectable promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 are different between the case where the jackpot symbol is symbol A, a and symbol D, d.

  That is, when the first promotion pattern lottery table used when the jackpot symbol is symbol A or a and the jackpot symbol is symbol D or d as the promotion pattern lottery table used when the promotion pattern lottery is stored in the overall control ROM 65b. A second promotion pattern lottery table to be used is stored (see FIG. 24). 97 kinds of integer values from “0” to “96” are set as the promotion pattern random numbers, and the overall control CPU 65a updates the update pattern random numbers one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The later value is temporarily stored in the overall control RAM 65c, and the value before update is rewritten. In the first promotion pattern lottery table, the promotion pattern determination values are the first promotion effect pattern L1 to the fifth promotion effect in the 97 promotion integers “0” to “96” that can be taken by the promotion pattern random number. In addition to the distribution to the pattern L5, in the second promotion pattern lottery table, 97 integers of “0” to “96” that can be taken by the random number for promotion pattern are assigned to the sixth promotion effect pattern L5 and the seventh promotion effect pattern L7. It is distributed. The overall control CPU 65a compares the value of the promotion pattern random number acquired when the variation pattern designation command is input from the main control CPU 60a with the determination value for the promotion pattern set in the first or second promotion pattern lottery table. And it is comprised so that one may be determined from multiple types of promotion effect patterns L1-L7. That is, the overall control CPU 65a functions as notification effect information selection means for selecting one of a plurality of promotion effect patterns (notification effect information) L1 to L7.

  The distribution of the determination value for the promotion pattern in the promotion pattern lottery table will be specifically described. In the first promotion pattern lottery table, 53 promotion patterns of “0” to “52” are added to the first promotion effect pattern L1. Determination values are assigned, seven promotion pattern determination values of “53” to “59” are assigned to the second promotion effect pattern L2, and 15 of “60” to “74” are assigned to the third promotion effect pattern L3. The determination values for the promotion patterns of the streets are assigned, the determination values for the seven promotion patterns “75” to “81” are assigned to the fourth promotion effect pattern L4, and “82” to ““ are assigned to the fifth promotion effect pattern L5. 96 ”15 promotion pattern determination values are assigned. In the second promotion pattern lottery table, 77 promotion pattern determination values “0” to “76” are assigned to the sixth promotion effect pattern L6, and “77” to “96” are assigned to the seventh promotion effect pattern L7. "20 promotion pattern determination values are distributed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, only when the jackpot symbol is symbol A, a first special notification effect, which is a first notification effect that can be recognized that a probable change state is given after the jackpot game ends, It is possible to experience either the first lifting confirmation effect or the second lifting confirmation effect.

  Then, when determining the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command corresponding to the effect display pattern for specifying the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 to the display control board 40. Under the control of the control board 40, promotion effects according to the promotion effect patterns L1 to L7 are executed during the big hit game. The sixth promotion effect pattern L6 is a pattern that does not perform the promotion effect. When the overall control CPU 65a determines to execute the sixth promotion effect pattern L6, one of the plurality of normal hit effects is selected. By determining and outputting an effect pattern designating command corresponding to the effect display pattern for specifying the normal hit effect to the display control board 40, only the normal hit effect can be obtained during the big hit game under the control of the display control board 40. It is supposed to be executed. That is, the overall control CPU 65a has a function as a hit effect determining means for determining one of a plurality of normal hit effects (win effects) that can be executed during the big hit game. Then, the overall control CPU 65a executes the promotion effect based on the promotion effect pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a during the jackpot game, and determines that the overall control CPU 65a does not execute the promotion effect (the sixth promotion effect pattern L6). When determined, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to execute a normal hit effect during the big hit game.

(About the lottery for the start round game of the promotion pattern)

As described above, since the seventh promotion effect pattern L7 is composed of only the second special notification effect, only the start round game of the second special notification effect is distributed. As for the distribution of the start round game of the second special notification effect in the seventh promotion effect pattern L7, the distribution of the start round game of the second special notification effect in the third promotion effect pattern L3 is shown in FIG. The determination is made based on the fourth start round determination table shown in d).

  Further, for the fifth promotion effect pattern L5 including only the second promotion confirmed effect and the sixth promotion effect pattern L6 not including the notification effect, the start round game of the notification effect is not performed.

  That is, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the promotion effect patterns (L1 to L5) including the first promotion notification effect (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmation effect, second promotion confirmation effect), The overall control CPU 65a has a function as an execution timing determining means for determining the timing for executing the first promotion notification effect (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmation effect, second promotion confirmation effect) during the big hit game. Has. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a performs the first promotion for each promotion effect pattern (L1 to L5) including the first promotion notification effect (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmation effect, second promotion confirmation effect). A round game capable of executing a notification effect (a first special notification effect, a first promotion confirmed effect, and a second promotion confirmed effect) is determined from a range of different round games. Furthermore, the overall control CPU 65a combines the first promotion notification effect (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmation effect, second promotion confirmation effect) and second promotion notification effect (second special notification effect). When the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the promotion effect pattern (L2, L3), the round game that can be executed for each promotion notification effect is determined from the range of different round games.

  Further, a promotion effect pattern (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmation effect, second promotion confirmation effect) and second promotion notification effect (second special notification effect) ( When the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of (L2, L3), the overall control CPU 65a executes the second promotion notification effect (second special notification effect) and then the first promotion notification effect (first Special notification effect, first promotion confirmation effect, and second promotion confirmation effect). That is, when the execution of the second promotion effect pattern L2 including the first promotion notification effect (first promotion confirmed effect) and the second promotion notification effect (second special notification effect) is decided, the second As round games in which the promotion notification effect (second special notification effect) can be executed, the fourth to seventh round games are set (see FIG. 25B), while the first promotion notification effect (first As the round games that can be executed (1 promotion confirmation effect), the 11th to 14th round games are set (see FIG. 25 (c)), and it is confirmed to the player that the probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. After executing the effect to be recognized, the player is configured not to execute an effect that is definitely not recognizable to the player that the certainty change state will be given after the big hit game ends.

  Further, the overall control CPU 65a, in the determined promotion effect patterns L1 to L5 and L7, the first special notification effect, the second special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, and the second promotion confirmation that are the notification effects. About the effect in the big hit game in which the effect is not performed, it is comprised so that the said normal hit effect may be performed.

  Next, the effect setting process executed by the overall control CPU 65a to set the promotion effect pattern will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 26, when the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative determination (step D1), it is determined in step D2 whether or not the positive hit big hit symbol is the special figure 1 classified as the symbol A. And when this step D2 is affirmed, it transfers to step D3 and draws one out of the 1st-5th promotion production patterns L1-L5 using the 1st promotion pattern lottery table. And the promotion effect pattern lottery selected at step D3 is determined at step D4, and a process is complete | finished. On the other hand, in the case of negative in step D2, the process proceeds to step D5, and one of the sixth or seventh promotion effect patterns L6 and L7 is lottery using the second promotion pattern lottery table. Then, the promotion effect pattern lottery selected in step D5 is determined in step D6, and the process ends. The sixth promotion effect pattern L6 is a pattern that does not perform the promotion effect. When the sixth promotion effect pattern L6 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines to execute the normal hit effect during the big hit game. .

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

  As in this embodiment, when the result of the big hit determination by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative, the stage execution timing at which the one-shot notification effect for notifying that the big hit is given can be executed is started. When the result of the big hit determination is affirmative determination, the production execution timing is determined based on the variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. The effect execution timing of the notification effect can be changed. Further, it is not necessary to store a plurality of fluctuation patterns having different execution execution timings for the one-shot notification effect in the main control ROM 60b, and the execution execution timing of the one-shot notification effect without increasing the capacity of the main control ROM 60b. The variation of can be increased.

  In this embodiment, the one-shot notification effect pattern is selected according to the type of the final stop decoration of the symbol variation effect determined by the overall control CPU 65a based on the variation pattern input from the main control CPU 60a. is there. Also, in this embodiment, the odd numbered decorations correspond to the probability variation big hits and the even numbered decorations cannot be distinguished from the probability variation big hits or the non-probable big hits, so only when the probability variation big hits are given. It is possible to set a one-shot notification effect that is executed during the variation effect, or a one-time notification effect that is executed during the symbol variation effect only when it is not possible to definitely recognize that the probability variation jackpot is given, The fun of gaming can be improved.

  A plurality of effect type modes MA, MB, MC, MD having different effect contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17 are set, and a plurality of effect type modes MA, MB, MC, MD are determined for each effect type mode. Since the ratio at which one production execution timing is determined by the overall control CPU 65a from the production execution timings F1 to F10 is individually set at each production execution timing F1 to F10, the production type modes MA, MB, and MC that are staying , The timing at which the one-shot notification effect is executed can be changed by the MD. That is, it is possible to produce effects with different interests by changing the timing at which the one-shot notification effect appears for each effect type mode MA, MB, MC, MD. Further, since the types of one-shot notification effects (one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10) that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are determined for each of the determined execution execution timings F1 to F10, the contents of the one-shot notification effects are determined. Depending on the difference, the production modes MA, MB, MC, and MD can be varied to provide a variety of productions. Furthermore, since the types of one-shot notification effects (one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10) that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are determined for each determined effect execution timing F1 to F10, each effect execution timing F1 to F10 is determined. The control load of the overall control CPU 60a can be reduced as compared with the case where one is determined from the types of all the one-shot notification effects (one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10).

  In the present embodiment, it is also determined whether or not to execute the one-shot notification effect at the time of lottery of the effect execution timing of the one-shot notification effect. Then, it is decided not to execute the one-shot notification effect at the time of the lottery of the performance execution timing of the one-shot notification effect depending on whether the game state when the big hit determination is affirmative is determined or not. Since the ratio of playing is different, it is possible to produce an effect according to the game state, and to expand the range of the effect and improve the interest. Also, in this embodiment, as the types of big hit games, four types of special probability variable big hit games, 2R sudden probability variable big hit games, special probability variable big hit games and normal non-probability variable big hit games are set, and big hits to which special probability variable big hit games are given Since the one-shot notification effect can be executed only in the case of the symbol A as the symbol, the player is given a special probability variable big hit game by the appearance of the one-shot notification effect during the symbol variation effect. It becomes possible to recognize. In addition, the special probability variable big hit game is the big hit game that is the most advantageous (large amount of benefits) for the player among the four types of big hit games, so the player's willingness to play is improved by the appearance of a one-shot notification effect. Can be made.

  In this embodiment, the one-shot notification effect pattern is configured such that the type and distribution ratio that can be selected differ depending on whether the final stop decoration of the symbol variation effect is an odd number or an even number. That is, the one-shot notification effect pattern K1, the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3, the fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5, and the first one-shot notification effect pattern that can be selected only in the case of an odd number of final stop decorations. The one-shot notification effect pattern K7 and the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9, whereas the one-shot notification effect pattern that can be selected only in the case of an even number of final stop decorations is the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2. The fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4, the sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6, and the eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8. This is the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10. In this embodiment, the odd numbered decorations correspond to the probability variation big hits, and the even numbered decorations cannot be identified as the probability variation big hits or the non-probable big hits. The one-shot notification production pattern that can be determined in accordance with this can be different, or a variety of productions can be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, the second promotion confirmation effect, or the probability change state that can be recognized that the probability change state is given is not recognized. When a plurality of promotion effect patterns L1 to L10 including at least one of the special notification effects is set and the result of the big hit determination in the main control CPU 60a is affirmative determination, one of the plurality of promotion effect patterns L1 to L10 is set. And configured to run during the jackpot game. As a result, it is not necessary to store variation patterns corresponding to a plurality of promoted effects having different effects in the main control ROM 60b, and variations can be achieved without increasing the capacity of the main control ROM 60b or increasing the control load on the main control CPU 60a. Rich promotion effects can be executed during a big hit game, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  When the overall control CPU 65a selects the promotion effect patterns L1 to L5 including any of the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, and the second promotion confirmation effect that can recognize that the probability variation state is given. In addition, since the execution timing for executing the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmed effect or the second promotion confirmed effect during the big hit game is determined by lottery, the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmed The execution timing of the production or the second promotion confirmation production can be varied, and the entertainment can be enhanced by suppressing the production from becoming monotonous.

  When the overall control CPU 65a selects the promotion effect patterns L1 to L5 including any of the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, and the second promotion confirmation effect, the first special notification effect, the first Since the timing for executing the promotion finalization effect or the second promotion finalization effect is determined by lottery from different ranges of the round game during the big hit game, the first special notification effect, the first promotion finalization effect or the second promotion The timing at which the confirmed effect appears does not end. That is, it is difficult to guess when the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, or the second promotion confirmation effect appears in the round game during the big hit game. A thrilling feeling can be given to the end.

  In the present embodiment, it is impossible to recognize that an effect (a first special notification effect, a first promotion confirmation effect, a second promotion confirmation effect) that can be recognized that a probability variation state is imparted, and that a probability variation state is imparted. Promotion effect patterns L1 to L5 that combine the effects (second special notification effects) are set. In addition, in the promotion effect patterns L1 to L5, the timing of executing the effects (the first special notification effect, the first promotion confirmed effect, and the second promotion confirmed effect) that can recognize that the probability variation state is given, and the probability variation Since it is configured to determine by a lottery from a different range of round games during a big hit game, the timing to execute an effect (second special notification effect) that can not be recognized that the state is given, is given a probable change state The effects that can be recognized (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmed effect, second promotion confirmed effect) and effects that cannot be recognized that the probability change state is given (second special notification effect) are different. Appears during a round game, and a variety of promotion effects can be executed during a big hit game.

  In the present embodiment, a first special notification effect in which a confirmed notification effect that can be recognized that a probability variation state is given and a fixed non-notification effect that cannot be recognized that a certain variation state is given are executed. In the second special notification effect, a timing for executing a common privilege state suggestion effect that suggests that a certain change state executed before executing the fixed notification effect or the fixed non-notification effect in both special notification effects is given. Are set to be the same, even if a bonus state suggestion effect appears during the big hit game, it cannot be recognized whether it is the first special notification effect or the second special notification effect, and the player is in a probable state. Can be expected to be long. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine from among a plurality of round games for executing a bonus state suggestion effect, and thus cannot predict in which round game the privilege state suggestion effect will appear. The range of production can be widened to create an interesting production.

  In the present embodiment, it is impossible to recognize that an effect (a first special notification effect, a first promotion confirmation effect, a second promotion confirmation effect) that can be recognized that a probability variation state is imparted, and that a probability variation state is imparted. In the promotion effect patterns L1 to L5 combined with the effect (second special notification effect), the probability change state is given after executing the effect (second special notification effect) that cannot be recognized that the probability change state is given. It is configured to execute effects that can be recognized (first special notification effect, first promotion confirmed effect, second promotion confirmed effect). Therefore, even if an effect (second special notification effect) that cannot be recognized that the probability change state is given appears, the player can recognize that the probability change state is given (first special effect). The notification effect, the first promotion confirmation effect, the second promotion confirmation effect) can be expected to appear, and the player can expect whether or not the probable state has been given over a long period of time. obtain.

  In this embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a determines and executes a normal hit effect from a plurality of hits during the big hit game when the determination of whether or not the probability change state is given is denied. When the determination of whether or not the state is given is affirmed, the promotion effect based on the promotion effect patterns L1 to L5 determined by the overall control CPU 65a is performed during the big hit game. That is, when the determination as to whether or not the probability variation state is given is affirmed, the promotion effect different from the normal jackpot effect is executed, so that the effect can be sharpened.

(Another embodiment)
With respect to the one-shot notification effect, whether or not execution is possible, execution timing, and execution timing based on pre-reading notice processing performed when a pachinko ball is won in the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. A one-shot notification effect pattern may be selected, and in another embodiment, only a portion different from the above-described embodiment will be described for the pachinko machine 10 capable of executing a one-shot notification effect based on pre-read information.

(About the execution process of the one-shot notification effect by prefetching)
In the special figure input pre-processing shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a sets the values of various random numbers in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c in step A18, and then the first or second start winning opening 31a, Whether or not to execute the one-shot notification effect during the symbol variation effect that is executed based on the first or second special figure start hold information already stored in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball wins 31b It is configured to perform a pre-reading notice process for determining whether or not.

  The pre-reading notice process is performed when a pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a or the second start winning opening 31b (when the special figure input process is executed). That is, before the next symbol variation effect (the first or second special symbol variation display) is started after the pachinko ball has won the first starting prize port 31a or the second starting prize port 31b (the special figure). Before the start process is performed), the prefetch notice process is executed. In other words, the pre-reading notice process is configured to be executed before the symbol variation effect.

  FIG. 27 shows the prefetch notice process. The main control CPU 60a performs the symbol variation effect (first change) based on the corresponding first or second special figure start hold information acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. Alternatively, when the second special figure variation display) is executed, it is determined in advance whether or not the jackpot display is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Specifically, the value of the jackpot determination random number (random number) acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a or the second start winning opening 31b matches the prior jackpot determination value (win determination value). The main control CPU 60a determines in advance (pre-hit big hit determination) as to whether or not to perform (step E1). Here, the preliminary jackpot determination value is set to the same value as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination (big hit lottery) of the special figure start process described above. That is, if the advance jackpot determination based on the first or second special figure start hold information is affirmative, the affirmative determination is made as long as the gaming state (more specifically, whether the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state) is changed. When a symbol variation effect is performed based on the special figure start hold information, a big hit will occur.

(For cases where the advance jackpot determination result is affirmative)
And when the determination result of the prior jackpot determination in step E1 is affirmative, the value of the special figure distribution random number acquired when winning the first start prize port 31a or the second start prize port 31b is obtained. Based on the corresponding first or second special figure start hold information that has been affirmatively determined, the type of jackpot when the symbol variation effect is performed is determined in advance (predetermined type of jackpot) (step E2). In another embodiment, if the determination result of the prior jackpot determination is affirmative, the symbol variation effect (first or second special chart) based on the special chart start hold information in which the determination result of the prior jackpot determination is affirmative in step E1. The main control CPU 60a pre-determines the type of jackpot game given when the variable display is executed (that is, whether the jackpot symbol is symbol A to symbol D or diagram a to symbol d). Note that in the pre-determination of the type of jackpot, it may be determined in advance only whether or not the jackpot that gives the probability variation state, or only the number of round games of the jackpot game to be given may be pre-determined. That is, in the prior determination of the type of jackpot, the value given by the jackpot is determined.

  If the determination result of the preliminary jackpot determination in step E1 is affirmative, the corresponding first or second acquired when winning the first start winning port 31a or the second starting winning port 31b. Based on the special figure start hold information, a variation pattern specified at the time of winning is determined in advance (step E3). That is, in step E3, a variation pattern for a plurality of types of jackpot effects based on the value of the random number for distribution pattern distribution obtained by winning the first start winning port 31a or the second start winning port 31b. The main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the above (preliminary determination of variation pattern).

(Regarding the setting of the look-ahead effect command when the advance jackpot determination result is positive)
When the variation pattern is determined in step E3, the main control CPU 60a sets a prefetch effect command in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c (step E4). Here, the pre-reading effect command is a command indicating prior jackpot information indicating the determination result of the prior hit determination at the time of winning the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. Therefore, by referring to the pre-reading effect command, the symbol variation effect (first or second) is based on the special drawing start hold information acquired when winning the first start winning port 31a or the second starting winning port 31b. When a special figure variation display) is executed, it can be identified whether or not a big hit is generated, and a variation pattern that identifies the symbol variation effect can be identified.

  In addition, in the pre-reading effect command, the number of stored first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 60c stored at the time of winning the first start winning opening 31a or the second start winning opening 31b is set. The number-of-holds information shown, special figure type information (winning information) indicating which of the first start winning port 31a and the second starting winning port 31b is a pre-reading effect command based on the winning of a pachinko ball, The jackpot game type information (hit game type information) indicating the type of jackpot (predetermined jackpot symbol) determined in advance in the case of a win is included. Note that the number-of-holds information specified by the pre-reading effect command is the number-of-sale information of the special figure start hold information corresponding to the first or second start winning award 31a, 31b specified by the special figure type information. Accordingly, when the first start winning opening 31a is specified by the special figure type information, the number-of-holds information indicates the number of the first special figure start holding information stored, and the second start winning opening is indicated by the special figure type information. When 31b is specified, the hold number information indicates the storage number of the second special figure start hold information.

  In the following description, in the pre-reading effect command, the command part that specifies the prior jackpot information is referred to as the upper command, and the command part that specifies the hold number information, the special figure identification information, and the jackpot game type information is the lower command. May also be referred to. Further, in the higher order command of the pre-reading effect command in another embodiment, when the advance jackpot determination is affirmative, the gaming state (probability change) when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. Information on whether or not it is a state or a variable state.

  The lower command of the pre-reading effect command will be described in detail. When the determination result of the advance hit determination based on the first special figure start hold information acquired when winning the first start winning opening 31a is affirmative Includes the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c including the first special figure start hold information as the stored number information of the first special figure start hold information. Set to the lower command. In addition, when the determination result of the advance hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information acquired when winning the second start winning opening 31b is affirmative, the second special figure start hold information is included. The stored number of the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is set as the low order command of the prefetch effect command as the stored number information of the second special figure start hold information.

  In addition, when the determination result of the advance hit determination based on the corresponding first or second special figure start hold information acquired when winning in the first or second start winning opening 31a, 31b is affirmative, The type of jackpot game based on the pre-hit determination based on the corresponding special figure start hold information is set as the jackpot game type information in the subordinate command of the prefetch effect command.

  If the result of the pre-hit determination in step E1 of FIG. 27 is negative, the corresponding first or second special figure acquired when winning at the first start winning port 31a or the second starting winning port 31b. Based on the start hold information, the variation pattern specified at the time of winning is determined in advance (step E5). That is, based on the value of the random number for variable pattern distribution obtained by winning a pachinko ball in the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b, a plurality of types of variation patterns for off-stage effects are generated. The main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the inside (preliminary determination of variation pattern).

(Regarding the setting of the look-ahead command when the advance jackpot judgment result is negative)
When the variation pattern is determined in step E3 or step E5, the main control CPU 60a sets a prefetch effect command in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. Here, the pre-reading effect command set when the determination result of the prior jackpot determination is negative is based on the prior jackpot information indicating the determination result of the previous hit determination and the random number for variation pattern distribution as described above. This command includes prior variation pattern information indicating the determined variation pattern. The pre-reading effect command set when the determination result of the prior jackpot determination is negative is the hold number information indicating the stored number of the first or second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start Special figure type information (winning information) indicating whether it is a pre-reading effect command based on the winning of the pachinko ball to the winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b, it was determined in advance when the pre-hit determination result is a win The jackpot game type information (hit game type information) indicating the type of jackpot (hit game symbol) is included. Note that the number-of-holds information specified by the pre-reading effect command is the number-of-sale information of the special figure start hold information corresponding to the first or second start winning award 31a, 31b specified by the special figure type information. Accordingly, when the first start winning opening 31a is specified by the special figure type information, the number-of-holds information indicates the number of the first special figure start holding information stored, and the second start winning opening is indicated by the special figure type information. When 31b is specified, the hold number information indicates the storage number of the second special figure start hold information. That is, the command configuration of the prefetch effect command is set with the same configuration regardless of the determination result of the prior jackpot determination. Note that the low-order commands of the pre-reading effect command when the determination result of the prior jackpot determination is negative are the same as those when the determination result of the prior jackpot determination is affirmative, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  When the setting of the prefetch effect command is completed in step E4, the main control CPU 60a ends the prefetch notice process. The prefetch effect command set in the prefetch notice process is output to the overall control CPU 65a before the next symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is performed (that is, before the special diagram start process is performed). It is set as follows. In other words, the overall control CPU 65a can determine whether or not to execute an effect based on the result of the prefetching notice process.

  As described above, the main control CPU 60a stores the start hold information (in the embodiment, the first special figure start hold information) in the main control RAM 60c in response to winning in the start winning ports 31a and 31b. It functions as a prior hit determination means for determining whether or not a hit game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect performed based on the start hold information (first special figure start hold information in the embodiment). Also, random number acquisition means for acquiring a random number (random number for jackpot determination) triggered by winning at the start winning opening 31a, 31b, a jackpot game given when the determination result of the advance hit determination in the main control CPU 60a is affirmative determination The main control CPU 60a has a function as a prior hit type determination means for determining the type of (win game) in advance. Further, the main control RAM 60c has a function as a hold storage means for storing a predetermined number of random numbers for random determination (random numbers) acquired by the main control CPU 60a as start hold information.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of another embodiment, the main control CPU 60a sets a pre-reading effect command based on the start hold information acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. Then, by transmitting the prefetch effect command from the main control CPU 60a to the general control CPU 65a, the general control CPU 65a responds to the effect type modes MA, MB, MC, and MD during the stay, as in the above-described embodiment. One effect execution timing of the one-shot notification effect is determined from the effect execution timings F1 to F10. In other words, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the symbol variation effect is performed based on the start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the determination result of the advance hit determination in the main control CPU 60a is affirmative. The execution execution timing of the announcement notification effect is determined. The overall control CPU 65a determines that the one-shot notification effect is not executed if the pre-hit information is negative in the prefetch effect command input from the main control CPU 60a.

  Here, since the pre-reading effect command does not include the information on the decorative symbols that the overall control CPU 65a causes the symbol display effect of the symbol display device 17 to be confirmed and stopped, the pachinko machine 10 of another embodiment uses the pre-reading effect command. One-shot notification effect pattern is configured to be determined from one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 in accordance with the jackpot game type information included (value of the jackpot).

  FIG. 28 shows a one-shot notification pattern table for prefetching stored in the overall control ROM 65b. Similar to the above embodiment, one of 97 integer values from “0” to “96” is shown. The single notification effect pattern determination values corresponding to the random numbers for the notification notification effect pattern are assigned to the single notification effect patterns K1 to K10. Then, the overall control CPU 65a uses the one-shot notification effect pattern random number value acquired when the pre-read effect command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the one-shot notification pattern table for prefetching. Compared with the pattern determination value, one of the plurality of types of one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10 is determined. Note that the difference between the one-shot notification effect executed based on the pre-read start hold information and the one-shot notification effect executed based on the positive determination determined in the big hit determination is the same one-shot notification effect. It is preferable that even a pattern can be recognized. For example, a movable body provided with a plurality of movable bodies and rotated by a one-shot notification effect executed based on the start hold information, and a movable body rotated by a one-shot notification effect executed based on the positive determination It is possible to cope with this by making the sound different from each other or making the sound effect from the speaker 19 different.

  In the one-shot notification pattern table for prefetching, a selectable one-shot notification effect pattern is specified according to the type of jackpot game with respect to the first performance execution timing F1, and a determination value for the one-shot notification effect pattern is set. It is distributed. In other words, in the case of a special probability big hit game (winning with symbol A or symbol a), one of three types of first one notification effect pattern K1, third one notification effect pattern K3, and fifth one notification effect pattern K5. A notification notification effect pattern is set, and 97 types of determination values for the notification notification effect pattern are assigned to the three types of notification notification effect patterns K1, K2, and K3. Specifically, 31 types of determination values for the one-shot notification effect pattern “0” to “30” are assigned to the first one-shot notification effect pattern K1, and “31” to the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3. Twenty-six one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “56” are distributed, and 29 one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “57” to “96” are distributed to the fifth one-call notification effect pattern K5. ing. Also, in the case of 2R sudden probability change big hit game (winning with symbol B or symbol b), there are three types of second one notification effect pattern K2, fourth one notification effect pattern K4 and sixth one notification effect pattern K6. One-shot notification effect patterns are set, and 97 types of one-shot notification effect pattern determination values are assigned to the three types of one-shot notification effect patterns K2, K4, and K6. Specifically, 31 kinds of determination values for the one-shot notification effect pattern from “0” to “30” are assigned to the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2, and “31” to the fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K3. Twenty-six one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “56” are assigned, and 29 one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “57” to “96” are assigned to the sixth one-shot effect pattern K5. ing. Further, in the case of a special probability big hit game (winning with symbol C or symbol c), there is one of three types of third one notification effect pattern K3, fifth one notification effect pattern K5, and seventh one notification effect pattern K7. A notification notification effect pattern is set, and 97 types of determination values for the notification notification effect pattern are distributed to the three types of notification notification effect patterns K3, K5, and K7. Specifically, 31 types of determination values for the one-shot notification effect pattern “0” to “30” are assigned to the third one-shot notification effect pattern K3, and “31” to the fifth one-shot notification effect pattern K5. Twenty-six one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “56” are assigned, and 29 one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “57” to “96” are assigned to the seventh one-shot effect production pattern K7. ing. Furthermore, in the case of a normal non-probability big hit game (winning with symbol D or symbol d), there are three types of patterns: a fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4, a sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6, and an eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8. One-shot notification effect patterns are set, and 97 types of one-shot notification effect pattern determination values are assigned to the three types of one-shot notification effect patterns K4, K6, and K8. Specifically, 31 kinds of determination values for the one-shot notification effect pattern “0” to “30” are assigned to the fourth one-shot notification effect pattern K4, and “31” to the sixth one-shot notification effect pattern K6. 26 different one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “56” are assigned, and 29 one-shot notification effect pattern determination values “57” to “96” are assigned to the eighth one-call notification effect pattern K8. ing.

  In the one-shot notification pattern table for prefetching shown in FIG. 28, with respect to the second effect execution timing F2 to the fifth effect execution timing F5, the types of one-shot notification effect patterns set according to the types of jackpot games and each one The distribution ratio of the determination value for the one-shot notification effect pattern with respect to the notification effect pattern is set to be the same as the first effect execution timing F1. On the other hand, with regard to the sixth effect execution timing F6 and the seventh effect execution timing F7, only the seventh one-shot notification effect pattern K7 is provided for the special probability variable big hit game, the 2R sudden probability variable big hit game, and the special probability variable big hit game that are the probability variable big hits. Only the eighth one-shot notification effect pattern K8 is set for the normal non-probability variable big hit game that is set and the non-probable big hit game. Further, regarding the eighth effect execution timing F8 and the ninth effect execution timing F9, only the tenth one-shot notification effect pattern K10 is set for all four types of big hit games. Furthermore, with regard to the tenth effect execution timing F10, a special probability variable big hit game that is a probability variable big hit game, a 2R sudden probability variable big hit game, and a special probability variable big hit game are set to the ninth one-shot notification effect pattern K9, which is usually a non-probable variable big hit Only the second one-shot notification effect pattern K2 is set for the non-probable big hit game.

  That is, for each of the performance execution timings F1 to F10 determined by the overall control CPU 65a, the types of one-shot notification effects (privilege state notification effects) that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a (one-shot notification effect patterns K1 to K10) are determined. ing. In addition, the types of one-shot notification effect patterns that can be selected are different depending on the difference in performance execution timing and the type of jackpot game, and it is possible to perform a variety of one-shot notification effects. . In addition, the effect execution timing and the one-shot notification effect pattern are determined by the overall control CPU 65a according to the information of the pre-read effect command input from the main control CPU 60a. It is not necessary to store a large number of variation patterns including production patterns in the main control ROM 60b of the main control board 60, and the control load on the main control board 60 can be reduced.

  Here, in the pre-reading effect command input to the overall control CPU 65a, either the number-of-holds information indicating the number of start-hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start-winning port 31a, or the second start-winning port 31b. Special identification information that indicates whether the pachinko ball is based on winning, jackpot game type information that indicates a pre-determined type of jackpot (big hit symbol), prior jackpot determination information that indicates whether the previous jackpot determination result is a hit, By including information such as a variation pattern determined based on the variation pattern distribution random number at the time of winning, the overall control CPU 60a can appropriately execute the one-shot notification effect.

(Example of change)
The present application is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and other configurations can be appropriately employed.
(1) In the embodiment, the privilege state notification effect for notifying the privilege state given to the player has been described in the case of executing the one-shot notification effect for notifying the jackpot during the symbol variation effect. It is not limited to the above, and any state that is advantageous to the player, such as a probable change state, may be used. That is, the one-shot notification effect for notifying the privilege state may be executed as an effect for notifying the probability variation state during the big hit game, and the effect execution timing of the one-shot notification effect is the symbol variation effect. It may be set between the start and the end of the jackpot game. Accordingly, it is only necessary to set the effect execution timing of the one-shot notification effect between the start of the symbol variation effect and the end of the ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game. Further, for example, in the big hit game in the case of winning the special probability variable big hit game, by executing the one-shot notification effect in accordance with the third opening of the open / close door in the first round, the big hit game is less likely to play 2R It may be a notification that the game is not a sudden probability big hit game but a special probability big hit game with many balls.
(2) In the embodiment, at the time of lottery processing of the performance execution timing of the one-shot notification effect, an option of “no execution” is provided in the execution determination table, and the one-shot notification effect is determined depending on whether or not the “no execution” is selected. However, if the determination result is affirmative, the control execution CPU determines whether the one-shot notification effect is possible prior to the effect execution timing lottery process. Processing may be performed.
(3) In the embodiment, the bonus state is described as a bonus game, but the privilege state may be a gaming state different from the normal gaming state, and the gaming state is generated by a one-shot notification effect when the gaming state changes. It may be a notification that changes.
(4) The production type mode, the production execution timing, and the number of one-shot notification production patterns set in the pachinko machine are not limited to the embodiment, and can be set according to various specifications.
(5) In the embodiment, the case where a one-shot notification effect is performed by rotating the movable body arranged in the frame-shaped decorative body has been described. However, the movable body is not limited to rotating, and the display in the frame-shaped decorative body The movable body located outside the window may be moved to the inside of the display window at the time of the one-shot notification effect. Further, regarding the light emitter, not only the light emitter built in the movable body but also a light emitter disposed in the pachinko machine can be used.
(6) In another embodiment, a one-shot notification effect pattern that can be selected at the time of the lottery of the one-shot notification effect pattern based on the pre-reading start hold information, and a one based on the positive determination determined in the big hit determination Although the one-shot notification effect pattern that can be selected at the time of lottery of the distribution of the notification notification effect pattern is the same, a dedicated table storing different one-shot notification effect patterns is set, and the distribution of the one-shot notification effect pattern is performed. By selecting the table according to the difference in the lottery conditions, the one-shot notification effect that is executed based on the look-ahead start hold information and the one-shot that is executed based on the positive determination determined in the big hit determination The difference from the notification effect may be made clear.
(7) In the embodiment, the privilege state notification effect that can be executed while the jackpot game is being executed has been described in the case of the promotion effect that notifies that a promiscuous state is given after the jackpot game. The notification effect is not limited to this. For example, as described in the above (1), it can be adopted as a notification effect for notifying that the game state is not a game state with a small number of balls, but a game state with a lot of balls.
(8) As a bonus state notification effect that can be executed while the jackpot game is being executed, the pre-read effect command described in another embodiment is used as an effect to notify the jackpot that is pending during the jackpot game in advance. Can be adopted.
(9) In the embodiment, each start winning means includes a first start winning means capable of winning a game ball with a certain probability and a second start winning means capable of changing the winning probability of the game ball. Although the detection means is provided for each to detect the winning of the game ball individually, the winning detection means of the first and second start winning means may be made common. In other words, it may be configured not to distinguish between winning in the first start winning means and winning in the second winning means.
(10) In the embodiment, all or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided by the sub-control means (overall control CPU). A part may be provided in the main control means. In the embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (overall control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the main control unit and the sub control unit in the embodiment may be provided in a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Furthermore, a separate control board may be provided, and all or part of the functions of the main control means and sub-control means of the embodiment may be provided in another control means. That is, the overall control CPU can function as a winning game execution means.
(11) In the embodiment, the display control means (display control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions provided in the overall control means (overall control CPU). The overall control means may be provided in whole or in part. In the embodiment, the overall control board (overall control CPU) and the display control board (display control CPU) are separately provided. However, a single control board may be used.
