Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a player's interest in a game by varying jackpot expectation degrees for a performance content according to a player's operation of operation means, even when symbol variation games are executed in the same performance content.SOLUTION: The game machine sets "Hoshi (arranging fighters in an inverse V-shape in the top and a vertical arrow shape in the back)" and "Hoen (arranging fighters in a circular shape)" as tactical formations, and varies selection probabilities of a performance content of a fighting performance according to a fact whether or not winning a jackpot lottery, and a tactical formation selected by a player. For instance, when "Hoshi" is selected in a case of winning the jackpot lottery, the game machine causes a player to select "an attack" at a higher probability than "a defence". Thereby, the player can discriminate that the jackpot which the player has gotten is a high or low probability, by a combination of the tactical formation selected by the player and the performance content of the fighting performance selected by a performance control CPU. That is to way, even when the fighting performance is executed in the same performance content (the attack system or the defence system), the jackpot expectation degrees are different according to a difference in the selected tactical formations (Hoshi and Hoen) so as to improve the player's interest.

The effect display device 11 includes a symbol variation game that is performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects executed in association with the game are displayed as images. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 11, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 11 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols, decorative symbols) for diversifying display effects. A special symbol display device 12 is disposed at the lower left of the effect display device 11. In the special symbol display device 12, a symbol variation game (special symbol variation game) is displayed in which a plurality of types of special symbols (special symbols) are displayed in a variable manner. The special figure is a symbol for notification indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) of whether or not the big hit. Further, in the following description, the special symbol variation game and the symbol variation game by the decoration diagram may be collectively referred to as “symbol variation game”.

  The effect display device 11 displays a display result corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 12. More specifically, when a special symbol display device 12 that can recognize a big hit (a big hit display result) is confirmed and stopped, the big hit symbol (a big hit display result) is confirmed on the effect display device 11 as well. Stopped display.

  In addition, when a special symbol display device 12 that can recognize a deviation is displayed in a fixed stop state, the special symbol display device 12 is also displayed in a fixed stop manner. In the present embodiment, the out-of-decoration symbol is a symbol combination ([135], [246], etc.) in which the symbols in all the columns are different, or the symbol in one column is different from the symbols in the other two columns. Symbol combinations ([151], [767], etc.).

  Further, in the effect display device 11, the variation of the symbol sequence is stopped in the order of the left column → the right column → the middle column as viewed from the player side, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed for each symbol column by the variation stop. In this embodiment, a symbol combination in which a plurality of specific columns (two left and right columns) have the same symbol is a reach symbol combination. The stoppage of the symbol indicates a state in which the symbol is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 11. The stop display includes a temporary stop display in which the symbol is displayed in a fluctuation state and a fixed stop display in which the symbol is fixed and stopped. In this embodiment, among the plurality of symbol columns, the left column is the first stop column, the right column is the second stop column, the middle column is the third stop column (final stop column), and the left column and the right column form a reach. It becomes a reach formation line.

  Further, on the right side of the special symbol display device 12, a special symbol hold display device 13 having a plurality (two in this embodiment) of special symbol hold light emitting units is disposed. The special symbol hold display device 13 notifies the player of the stored number of start reserved balls for special symbols stored in the machine (hereinafter referred to as “holding stored number”). The number of reserved memories is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning holes 15 and 16 provided on the game board 10, while it is decremented by 1 when the symbol variation game is started. Therefore, when a game ball enters each start winning opening 15 or 16 during the symbol variation game, the number of reserved memories is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment).

  A normal symbol display device 14 is disposed below the special symbol hold display device 13. In the normal symbol display device 14, a normal symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as a "normal game") is displayed in which a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter referred to as a "normal diagram") are displayed in a variable manner. The usual figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery (lottery per ordinary figure) as to whether or not per ordinary figure.

  Further, below the effect display device 11, a first start winning opening 15 is provided as a start detecting means having a entrance 15a through which a game ball can enter at all times. A first start port switch SW1 (shown in FIG. 2) is provided in the back of the first start winning port 15 as a start detection means for detecting a game ball that has entered. The first start winning opening 15 gives a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the entered game ball with the first start opening switch SW1. obtain.

  In addition, at the lower right of the effect display device 11 and at the upper right of the first start winning opening 15, a ball entrance 16a into which a game ball can enter and an ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 (shown in FIG. 2). A second start winning opening 16 is provided as a start detecting means provided with an open / close blade 17 (normal electric accessory) that opens and closes by the operation of.

The second start winning opening 16 gives a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of winning balls by detecting the entered game ball with the second start opening switch SW2. obtain.

  The ball entrance 16a of the second start winning port 16 is always closed with the open / close blade 17 closed. In a state in which the entrance 16a is closed, the second start winning opening 16 is in a state where entry is not possible (a state in which entry is restricted). Then, when a predetermined opening condition is satisfied, the entrance 16a is opened for a predetermined opening time only once or a plurality of times by operating the opening / closing blade 17 from the closed state to the open state. In a state where the ball entrance 16a is opened, the second start winning port 16 is in a state in which a ball can be entered (a state in which the ball is allowed to enter).

  It should be noted that when a game ball is launched on the game board 10 by a launching device (not shown) and the game ball flows down the predetermined first flow path Y1, the game ball is guided to the first start winning opening 15. An obstacle such as a game nail and a first start winning opening 15 are arranged. That is, a part of the game ball that is launched on the game board 10 by a launching device (not shown) and passes the left side of the effect display device 11 is a game nail or the like arranged on the game board 10 when flowing down the game board 10. Is led to the first start winning opening 15. In addition, when the game ball is fired on the game board 10 by the launching device and the game ball flows down the second flow path Y2 that is different from the first flow path Y1, the game ball is moved to the second start winning opening 16. An obstacle such as a game nail and a second start winning opening 16 are arranged so as to be guided to That is, a part of the game ball that is launched on the game board 10 by the launching device and passes the right side of the effect display device 11 is moved by the game nails or the like arranged on the game board 10 when flowing down the game board 10. 2 Guided to the start winning opening 16.

  In addition, on the lower right side of the game board 10, there is disposed a grand prize opening 18 provided with a big prize opening door 18a that opens and closes by the operation of the big prize opening solenoid SOL2. A count switch SW3 (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the special winning opening 18. The big winning opening 18 can give a condition for paying out game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the entered game balls with the count switch SW3. The big winning opening 18 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 18a during the big hit game, thereby allowing a game ball to enter. For this reason, during the big hit game, the player can obtain a chance to win a prize ball.

  The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol is confirmed and stopped in the special figure variation game, and the special figure variation game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the special winning opening 18 is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit. One round game is until the opening / closing operation of the grand prize opening 18 is performed a predetermined number of times, and during the single round game, the big prize opening 18 is a period until the upper limit number of game balls enter. Or until the specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. When the final round game is finished, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed, and the big hit game is finished.

  An operation gate 19 is disposed on the right side of the effect display device 11 and on the upper right side of the second start winning opening 16. Behind the operation gate 19, a gate switch SW4 (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered (passed through) is disposed. The operation gate 19 can give the start condition of the usual game, triggered by the detection (passage detection) of the game ball. The usual game is an effect performed to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 16 is opened. The second start winning opening 16 is always in a closed state in which the opening 16a is closed by the opening and closing blades 17. In this closed state, the game ball cannot enter. On the other hand, in the second start winning opening 16, when a game is given per usual figure, the second starting winning opening 16 is opened by opening the opening / closing blade 17, and a game ball can be entered. it can. That is, when a game is given per game, a game ball can enter the second start winning opening 16 by opening the opening and closing blades 17, so that the game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening 16. Thus, the player can obtain an opportunity to easily acquire the starting conditions and prize balls of the symbol variation game. It should be noted that a game ball can always enter the first start winning opening 15 under the same conditions.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment is equipped with a production operation button BT as a production operation means that can be operated by the player (shown in FIG. 2). The effect operation button BT is disposed at a position where the player can operate while playing the game, such as the upper surface or the front surface of the ball tray member for storing the game ball.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function for giving a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (165/65536 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (1650/65536 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit game is generated. The probability variation state can be advantageous to the player because the lottery probability of the jackpot lottery fluctuates with high probability and the jackpot is likely to occur.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, after the big hit game is ended, a variation time shortening state (hereinafter, referred to as “shortening state”) advantageous to the player is given. In the variable state, when the variation time of the general game that derives the lottery result of the lottery per drawing is not given the variable state (non-variable time shortened state (hereinafter referred to as “non-variable state”)) Also, in the variable state, the lottery probability of the lottery per regular map varies from low probability to high probability, and in the variable state, when the normal lottery is won, The open / close blade 17 opens and closes in a different operation pattern and with a larger number of times, and in the variable state, the open / close blade 17 based on the fact that the lottery per common drawing is won when winning the lottery per common drawing. The opening time is longer than that in the non-variable state.

  In this embodiment, the variable state is a period until the next big hit occurs, until a predetermined variable upper limit number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times), or until the variable upper limit is reached. Granted until jackpot is raised before the number is reached. The variable speed state can be advantageous for the player because the opening / closing blade 17 operates advantageously for the player and the rate of entering the second start winning opening 16 per unit time is improved. The variable speed state is a state in which the opening time increases with an increase in the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 17 and is also a state in which the entrance rate is improved by increasing the opening time.

Hereinafter, the types of jackpots determined for the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from the three types of big hits, and a big hit game based on the determined big hit is given. Which of the three types of jackpots is to be determined is determined according to the type of special figure (jackpot symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won.

The three types of jackpot games are three types: a 16R first probability variable jackpot game, a 16R second probability variation jackpot game, and a 16R non-probability jackpot game.
In the 16R 1st probable big hit game, the specified number of rounds is set to “16”, and regardless of the game status at the time of the big hit lottery, after the big hit game ends, until the next big win lottery is won A state and a variable state are provided.

  In the 16R 2nd probable big win game, the specified number of rounds is set to “16”, and regardless of the game status at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable change will be between the end of the big hit game and winning the next big win lottery. A state is given. In addition, in the 16R second probability variable big hit game, a variable state with a variable upper limit number of 100 is given regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit lottery win.

  In the 16R non-probable big hit game, the specified number of rounds is set to “16”, and the probable change state is not given after the big hit game ends regardless of the game state at the time of the big win lottery win (non- Probability state is given). In addition, in the 16R non-probability variable big hit game, a variable state where the variable upper limit number of times is set to 100 is given regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit lottery win.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, a main control board 30 for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine is disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control commands (control commands) according to the process results. An effect control board 31 is disposed on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 controls the operation of the effect display device 11 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30.

Here, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described below.
First, the main control board 30 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a for executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b for storing a main control program for the main control CPU 30a, and necessary data. A main control RAM 30c capable of writing and reading is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected to various switches SW1 to SW4 so that detection signals output by detecting the game balls can be input. The main control CPU 30a is connected to various solenoids SOL1, SOL2, a special symbol display device 12, a special symbol hold display device 13, and a normal symbol display device 14.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a applies a random number value such as a big hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern distribution random number, and a universal pattern determination random number at predetermined intervals. Execute random number update processing (random number generation processing) to be updated. The big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination). The special figure distribution random number is a random number used when determining a special figure that becomes a big hit symbol. The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) to determine whether or not to form a reach in the case of not winning the big win in the big win lottery. The random number for distribution pattern distribution is a random number used when selecting the main variation pattern. The random number for judgment per common figure is a random number used in lottery per common figure. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

Here, various control flags (information) set in the main control RAM 30c will be described.
The main control RAM 30c stores a probability change flag in which a value that can specify whether or not the game state of the pachinko gaming machine is a probability change state is set. In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the probability variation state is started by setting a value indicating the probability variation state in the probability variation flag, and the value indicating the non-probability variation state is set in the probability variation flag. This completes the probability variation state.

  In addition, the main control RAM 30c stores an operation flag in which a value that can specify whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine is a variable state is set. In the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, the value indicating that the operating flag is in the variable state is set, and the variable state is started, and the value indicating that the operating flag is in the non-variable state is set. By setting, the variable state is terminated.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program and various determination values (big hit determination value, reach determination value, etc.). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number. Note that the number of jackpot determination values varies depending on the presence or absence of a probability variation state. Specifically, it is determined that the set value of the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state is larger than the jackpot determination value in the non-probability variation state.

  The reach determination value is a determination value used in internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to form a reach when determining a loss, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). (For example, 17/241).

  The determination value per common figure is a determination value used in the lottery per common figure, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the random number for determination per common figure. It should be noted that the number of judgment values per common map varies depending on whether or not there is a variable state. Specifically, it is determined that the set value of the determination value per universal figure in the variable state is larger than the determination value per normal figure in the non-variable state.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of main variation patterns. The main variation pattern is an effect (display effect, light emission effect, audio effect) between the start of the change of the symbol (special drawing and decoration) and the final display of the symbol (special drawing and decoration). It is a pattern that serves as a base, and the variation content (effect content) and variation time (effect time) of the symbol variation game can be specified. In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of main variation patterns are classified into a main variation pattern for big hit variation, a main variation pattern for outlier reach variation, and a main variation pattern for outlier variation. The main variation pattern for big hit variation is selected when winning the big hit lottery, the main variation pattern for outlier reach variation is selected when winning the reach lottery, and the main variation pattern for outlier variation is This is a main variation pattern that is selected when the big hit lottery and the reach lottery are not won.

  The big hit variation is a change performed when the big hit lottery is won. Then, in the big hit variation, the big hit symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop in the special figure variation game. On the other hand, in the big hit variation, the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed in the symbol variation game by the decorative drawing. In addition, in the symbol variation game by the decorative drawing, the jackpot symbol is derived through the reach effect.

  The loss reach variation is performed when the reach lottery is won without winning the big hit lottery, and finally the loss symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special figure variation game. On the other hand, in the outlier reach variation, in the symbol variation game with decoration, the reach symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state after reaching the reach effect.

  The loss variation is performed when neither the big winning lottery nor the reach lottery is won, and finally, in the special figure variation game, the loss symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in the case of deviation variation, in the symbol variation game based on the decorative drawing, the deviation symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state without reaching reach. In the special figure fluctuation game, when the fluctuation of the special figure is started, the fluctuation of the special figure is continued until the fluctuation time elapses without performing the reach effect. There are a plurality of main variation patterns for big hit variation, outlier reach variation and outlier variation, and one of them is selected.

Hereinafter, a part of the main variation pattern set in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, main variation patterns MP1 and MP2 are defined as main variation patterns for deviation variation. Main fluctuation patterns MP3 and MP4 are defined as main fluctuation patterns for deviation reach fluctuation. Main fluctuation patterns MP5 and MP6 are defined as main fluctuation patterns for big hit fluctuation.

  The main fluctuation pattern MP1 for deviation fluctuation defines “time T0” as the fluctuation time. The main fluctuation pattern MP2 for deviation fluctuation defines “time T1” shorter than “time T0” as the fluctuation time.

  The main fluctuation pattern MP3 for deviation reach fluctuation defines “time T2” longer than “time T0” as the fluctuation time. The main fluctuation pattern MP4 for deviation reach fluctuation defines “time T3” longer than “time T2” as the fluctuation time.

  The main variation pattern MP5 for big hit variation defines “time T2” as the variation time. The main variation pattern MP6 for big hit variation defines “time T3” as the variation time. In the present embodiment, it is defined that the variation time becomes longer in the order of time T1 <time T0 <time T2 <time T3.

  Then, when the number of stored memory after subtracting 1 at the start of the symbol variation game is “0”, the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for variation pattern distribution are distributed so that only the main variation pattern MP1 can be selected. Yes. On the other hand, when the number of reserved memories after subtraction of 1 at the start of the symbol variation game is “1” or more, the numerical values that the random numbers for variation pattern distribution can take are distributed so that only the main variation pattern MP2 can be selected. ing.

  On the other hand, when the reach lottery is won, numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for variation pattern distribution are distributed so that the selection ratio of the main variation pattern MP4 is higher than the main variation pattern MP3. In addition, when the big hit lottery is won, the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are distributed so that the selection ratio of the main variation pattern MP5 is higher than the main variation pattern MP6. Note that the variation pattern distribution table that associates the main variation patterns MP1 to MP6 shown in FIG. 3 is a table that is referred to in the non-variable state. Although not shown here, a variation pattern distribution table for a variable state that defines a main variation pattern different from the main variation patterns MP1 to MP6 is also set in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, on the effect control board 31, an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and writing of necessary data An effect control RAM 31c that can be read is provided. In addition, various information (timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a rewrites the value before update by updating the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals and storing (setting) the updated value in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c. Random number update processing (random number generation processing) is executed. The effect control CPU 31a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which the symbol variation game is started). The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, the production control ROM 31b stores sub variation patterns for each variation pattern in a one-to-one correspondence. The sub-variation pattern is a pattern for determining the distribution (attack system / defense system to be described later) of the effect contents of the symbol variation game performed within the variation time specified by the main variation pattern. In addition, an effect operation button BT is connected to the effect control CPU 31a.

Hereinafter, the sub variation pattern set in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the main variation pattern MP1 is associated with a sub variation pattern SP1 that specifies “normal variation” as the variation content. “Normal variation” means that after the symbol variation game is started, the variation of each symbol sequence (decorative diagram) is stopped according to a predetermined variation stop order (in this embodiment, left column → right column → middle column). This is the content to derive the design. The main variation pattern MP2 is associated with a sub variation pattern SP2 that specifies “shortening” as the variation content. “Shortening” is a content in which, after the start of the symbol variation game, the variation of each symbol sequence is stopped at substantially the same timing, and the symbol is derived to each symbol sequence.

  In the present embodiment, “defense system” or “attack system” is associated with the sub variation patterns SP3 and SP5 as the variation contents of the symbol variation game. The “defense system” and the “attack system” are the production contents of the symbol variation game that is performed until the lottery result of the big hit lottery is derived. Specifically, during the symbol variation game, the content is such that a confrontation effect is produced by an ally character M (see FIG. 11 (d)) projecting a player and an enemy character T (see FIG. 11 (d)) opposing the ally character M. is there. The symbol variation game based on the sub variation pattern with which the “defense-related” performance content is associated is the same content until the confrontation result of the confrontation effect is derived, that is, until a specific timing in the symbol variation game. With the design variation game is developed. On the other hand, the symbol variation game based on the sub variation pattern to which the “attack-related” performance content is associated is the same content until the confrontation result of the confrontation effect is derived, that is, until a specific timing in the symbol variation game. With the design variation game is developed. Thereby, the player cannot recognize the result of the symbol variation game from the content of the effect of the confrontation effect before reaching the specific timing.

  The main fluctuation pattern MP3 is associated with a sub fluctuation pattern SP3 that specifies “out of defense / attack system” as fluctuation contents. In the “defense system”, the “defense system” is directed in a mode in which the ally character M defends against the attack of the enemy character T (see FIG. 11 (f)), while in the “attack system” In this aspect, the teammate M is attacked by the enemy character T (see FIG. 11D), and as a result of the confrontation, the teammate character M is defeated by the enemy character T. The effect control CPU 31a determines which of the defense system and the attack system the effect is executed separately from the process of determining the sub variation pattern.

  The main variation pattern MP4 is associated with a sub variation pattern SP4 that specifies “confrontation effect” as the variation content. The “confrontation effect” is an effect that shows that the teammate character M and the enemy character T are not confronting each other and the teammate character M and the enemy character T are confronting each other.

  The main fluctuation pattern MP5 is associated with a sub fluctuation pattern SP5 that specifies “defense system / attack system big hit” as the fluctuation contents. “Defense system / attack system jackpot” is the content that the confrontation effect is performed with the content of “defense system” or “attack system” as in the sub-variation pattern SP3, and the result is that the ally character M wins the enemy character T. is there.

Similarly to the sub variation pattern SP4, the main variation pattern MP6 is associated with a sub variation pattern SP6 that specifies “confrontation effect” as the variation content.
In the present embodiment, when the teammate character M wins the enemy character T as a result of the confrontation effect, a big hit is always made. However, as a result of the confrontation effect, the friendly character M wins the enemy character T regardless of which of the 16R first positive odds, 16R second positive bigs, and 16R non-probable big wins. Therefore, it is possible to grasp from the result of the confrontation that the jackpot lottery is won, but it is not possible to specify the type of jackpot that won. Further, as a result of the confrontation effect, when the teammate character M is defeated by the enemy character T, it can be specified that the jackpot lottery is not won. In the present embodiment, the content of “attack type” corresponds to the first effect content, while the content of “defense type” corresponds to the second effect content.

  As described above, the variation pattern distribution table in which the main variation patterns MP1 to MP6 shown in FIG. 3 are associated is a table that is referred to in the non-variable state. As a result, the sub variation patterns SP1 to SP6 associated with the main variation patterns MP1 to MP6 become sub variation patterns that are selected in the non-variable state. Although not shown here, the sub variation patterns are also associated with the main variation pattern referred to in the variable state in a one-to-one relationship.

  Hereinafter, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms). The special symbol start process is executed after the special symbol input process ends.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning ports 15 and 16 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the start port switches SW1 and SW2. When this determination result is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. If the determination result of whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning opening 15, 16 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a stores the number of start hold balls stored in the main control RAM 30c (hereinafter referred to as "hold storage"). It is determined whether or not “the number” is less than the upper limit of 4. When this determination result is negative (the number of stored memories is not less than 4), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the number of reserved memories is less than 4, the main control CPU 30a increments the number of reserved memories by +1 (1 is added). That is, the main control CPU 30a causes the main control RAM 30c to store the game balls detected by the start winning ports 15 and 16 as the start holding balls. The main control CPU 30a that has updated (added 1) the number of reserved memories controls the display content of the special symbol hold display device 13 so as to display the number of reserved memories after update (after addition).

  Next, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 30c, and sets the values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c corresponding to the reserved storage number. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a acquires each value of the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol variation game is being executed or whether the big hit game is being executed. When the determination result of the execution condition determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the execution condition determination is negative (not in the symbol variation game and not in the big hit game), the main control CPU 30a has a reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c of “0 ( It is determined whether it is larger than “zero”. When the reserved memory number is “0 (zero)”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process because there is no symbol variation game being held. On the other hand, when the number of reserved memories is 1 or more, the main control CPU 30a decrements the number of reserved memories by −1 (1 subtraction) because there is a symbol variation game that is on hold. The main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the special symbol hold display device 13 so as to represent the hold memory number after the 1 subtraction when the hold memory number is decremented by 1.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the jackpot determination random number associated with the reserved storage number. At this time, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the big hit determination random number corresponding to the start hold ball stored most quickly among the start hold balls stored in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the jackpot determination random number value with the jackpot determination value, and executes a jackpot determination (a jackpot lottery) as to whether or not it matches the jackpot determination value. The jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not a probability variation state is given.

  If the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value associated with the reserved memory number, and based on the read special figure distribution random number value. The jackpot symbol in the figure is determined as a special symbol for the special symbol display device 12 to be confirmed and stopped. The main control CPU 30a that has determined the big hit selects and determines the main fluctuation pattern for the big hit fluctuation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a recognizes the deviation from the fact that the value of the big hit determination random number is not a value that makes a big hit. Then, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the reach determination random number associated with the reserved storage number, and compares the reach determination random number with the reach determination value to determine whether or not reach is reached (reach lottery )I do.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach in the reach lottery, so that the special symbol display device 12 determines the special symbol to be confirmed and stopped and displays the special symbol for the deviation reach variation. The main variation pattern is selected and determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display device 12 to be confirmed and stopped. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a main fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the special symbol and the main variation pattern in the special symbol start process outputs the control command generated according to the determination items to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a main variation pattern designation command for instructing the main variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game at the start of the symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special figure designation command for instructing a special figure next after outputting the main variation pattern designation command. The main control CPU 30a then issues an all symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time determined in the instructed main variation pattern elapses as the variation time elapses. Output.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes jackpot determination functions as a jackpot determination means. Further, in order to identify the effect result of the symbol variation game by executing the jackpot determination, the main control CPU 30a functions as an effect result specifying means. When the big hit determination is won, the main control CPU 30a that determines the type of the big hit according to the value of the special figure distribution random number functions as the big hit game determination means.

When the big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a causes the big hit game to be executed by the big hit game process for performing the big hit game.
Next, the control executed by the main control CPU 30a regarding the gaming state after the end of the big hit game will be described.

  The main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to the probability variation flag when outputting the probability variation state after the end of the big hit game, and outputs a probability variation command instructing the probability variation state. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is not imparted to the probability variation flag and outputs a non-probability variation command instructing that the probability variation state is not imparted when the probability variation state is not imparted after the big hit game ends. To do.

  Further, when assigning the variable state, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the variable state is provided to the operation flag, and outputs an operation command instructing the variable state. . On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a, when not giving the variable state, sets a value indicating that the variable state is not given to the operation flag and outputs a non-operation command instructing the non-variable state. To do. Further, when providing the variable state, the main control CPU 30a sets the variable upper limit number of times set for each type of jackpot as a number of operations in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” the number of times of operation every time the special figure variation game is executed, and when the value becomes “0”, the variable state is displayed in the operation flag at the end of the special figure variation game. Set a value indicating that it will not be granted, and output an inactive command.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the probability variation flag, the operation flag, and the number of operations at the start of the big hit game. As a result, the gaming state during the big hit game is “low probability + no change”.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described.
When the main variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines a sub variation pattern associated with the instructed main variation pattern. Then, the effect control CPU 31a that has determined the sub variation pattern selects image data based on the effect content (variation content) corresponding to the sub variation pattern. In addition, when the special control designating command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines a decoration to be displayed on the effect display device 11 in a fixed stop according to the command. When a big hit symbol is instructed as a special figure, the effect control CPU 31a determines a big hit symbol combination capable of recognizing the big hit.

  More specifically, when the 16R first probability variation jackpot is instructed, [111], [333], [555], or [777] is determined as the jackpot symbol combination. On the other hand, when 16R second probability variation big hit or 16R non-probable big hit is instructed, [222], [444], or [666] is determined as the big hit symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the off symbol is designated as the special figure, the effect control CPU 31a determines the off symbol combination as the decorative figure. At this time, when the main variation pattern for variation in the reach reach is instructed, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination (for example, [121]) including the symbol combination of reach as the decoration.

  On the other hand, when the main variation pattern for variation variation is instructed, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination (for example, [123]) that does not include the symbol combination of reach as a decoration. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to display an image of the symbol variation game based on the image data. Thereafter, when an all symbols stop command is input during the symbol variation game, the effect control CPU 31a displays the determined decoration on the effect display device 11 to be confirmed and stopped and ends the symbol variation game. Further, the effect control CPU 31a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game by the decorative display of the effect display device 11, and the image display unit based on the measured time and image data. The image displayed on the GH is switched every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms).

  In addition, when the CPU 31a for effect control inputs a probability change command, a non-probability change command, an operation command, and a non-operation command, the effect control RAM 31c sets information indicating the probability change state or the change state application state in the effect control RAM 31c. The effect control CPU 31a knows whether or not the gaming state is a probable change state or a change state depending on the setting contents of the effect control RAM 31c.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, when the sub-variation patterns SP3 and SP5 are selected during the non-variable state, that is, when the big win lottery or the reach lottery is won, the formation as a selection element is set. Selection effects to be selected are performed. The selection element (campus shape) is an effect that the result of the symbol variation game is advantageous to the player by combining with the effect of the symbol variation game (the content of the confrontation effect) performed until the lottery lottery result is derived. In order to notify the level of the possibility of the result, it is selected according to the player's own intention.

  The formation in the present embodiment means that the teammate MG (see FIG. 11 (c)) to which the teammate character M belongs has the maximum combat power in the battle with the enemy army TG (see FIG. 11 (c)) to which the enemy character T belongs. Refers to a typified arrangement of personnel and equipment to fully demonstrate. In the selection effect of the present embodiment, the formation determined by the player's operation on the operation button BT is not selected, but the formation determined in advance by the effect control CPU 31a is selected. It is determined as a formation in the symbol variation game.

  In addition, the formation set in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has an effect result that is advantageous for the player, even if it is the same formation, in combination with the effect content of the confrontation effect. There is a case where it is notified that there is a high possibility of becoming. In addition, even in the same formation, there is a case where it is reported that there is a low possibility that the effect result of the symbol variation game is an advantageous result for the player by the combination with the effect content of the confrontation effect. That is, even when the confrontation effect is performed with the same effect content (attack type or defense type), the degree of expectation for the effect content of the confrontation effect changes depending on the formation selected by the player.

  Furthermore, these formations are suitable for “attack” that is the content of the confrontation production in the present embodiment, but not suitable for “defense”, or suitable for “defense” but “attack”. It can also be classified as a formation that is not suitable for. For example, being suitable for “attack” refers to a formation that tends to be “win” (= hit) as a confrontation result by combination with “attack” that is the content of the confrontation production. On the other hand, being unsuitable for “attack” refers to a formation that is unlikely to become “win” as a result of the confrontation by combination with “attack” that is the content of the confrontation production. And in this embodiment, it is comprised so that the ratio by which "defense type | system | group" or "attack type | system | group" is selected as the production | presentation content of a symbol change game according to the formation which the player selected by button operation may be varied. . In other words, the combination of the formation selected by the player and the content of the effect of the confrontation effect informs the level of possibility that the effect of the symbol variation game will be an advantageous result for the player (in this embodiment, a big hit). Will be.

Hereinafter, the flow of the symbol variation game when the selection effect is performed will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the sub-variation patterns SP3 and SP5 are selected in the non-variable state, when the predetermined time has elapsed since the symbol variation started, the ally army MG and the enemy army TG The effect display device 11 notifies that the battle has started. Thereafter, in the effect display device 11, as shown in FIG. 6, an operation for prompting an operation of the effect operation button BT and selecting a formation is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of types of panels P on which names of formations that can be selected are described, and a cursor 40 for selecting the panels P are displayed. The cursor 40 is formed in a square frame shape having substantially the same outer shape as the panel P. When the cursor 40 and the panel P are displayed so as to overlap each other, the player can visually recognize the characters described on the panel P from the inner frame of the frame-like cursor 40. In addition, a button image BG simulating a production operation button BT for prompting button operation and a message image Q stating “Select a formation by pressing the button!” Are displayed.

  Then, when one of the formations is selected as a result of the player operating the production operation button BT, the enemy army TG is dispatched, and then the “defense system” or “attack” defined in the selected sub-variation pattern is selected. Confrontation production is carried out with the contents of "kei", and confrontation results (win, defeat) are derived.

Hereinafter, the formation defined in the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of formations (four types) are defined. In FIG. 5, “◎ (double circle)” indicates that it is most suitable for attack or defense, and “○ (circle)” indicates that it is suitable for attack or defense next to the double circle. ing. Further, “x (bad)” indicates that it is not most suitable for attack or defense, and “Δ (triangle)” indicates that it is not suitable for attack or defense next to a batter.

  “Saiya” is a formation that is most suitable for attack but is not most suitable for defense. “Fish scale” is a formation that is suitable for an attack next to “Saiya” but is not so suitable for defense. A “square” is a formation that is most suitable for defense while it is not most suitable for attack. “Crane wing” is the most suitable formation for attack and defense.

  Specifically, the most suitable for “attack” or “defense” is a formation that indicates that it is likely to be “win” as a result of the confrontation by combination with “attack” or “defense” which is the content of the confrontation production. Point to. On the other hand, being unsuitable for “attack” or “defense” refers to a formation that is difficult to become “win” as a result of the confrontation by combination with “attack” or “defense” which is the content of the confrontation production (“defeat”) Easily). In addition, the formation indicated by “○” indicates the formation that indicates that it is difficult to become “win” as a result of the confrontation by combining with “attack” that is the content of the confrontation production as compared to the formation indicated by “◎”. . On the other hand, the formation indicated by “△” indicates a formation that is more likely to be “win” as a result of the confrontation, in combination with “defense”, which is the content of the confrontation production, than the formation indicated by “×”. .

Hereinafter, the control content for performing the selection effect will be described.
First, the effect control CPU 31a confirms information indicating the change state application state set in the effect control RAM 31c, and confirms whether or not the change state is provided. If the variable state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a selects one of the sub variation patterns according to the instructed main variation pattern, and then determines an option to be presented on the effect display device 11. The options are configured by a plurality of formations (selection elements) as shown in FIG.

The options will be described below.
As shown in FIG. 8, the option C <b> 1 is made up of “及 び 矢” and “方 円”. The option C2 is composed of “Saiya”, “Circle”, and “Fish scale”. The option C3 is composed of “Saiya”, “Circle”, and “Crane wing”. The option C4 includes “Saiya”, “fish scales”, and “crane wings”. The option C5 includes “square”, “fish scales”, and “crane wings”.

  In FIG. 7, numerical values (a total of 1000 integers from 0 to 999) that can be selected by the selection random number for selecting an option are sub-variation patterns so that any one of the options C1 to C5 can be selected. Although it is distributed to SP3 and SP5, the distribution value is different depending on whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition in the present embodiment is to win a change lottery for determining whether or not to change a table to be referred to.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the change lottery is not won (before the predetermined condition is established), possible values of the selection random number are assigned to the sub variation pattern SP3 so that only the option C1 can be selected. ing. On the other hand, possible values of the selection random numbers are assigned to the sub variation pattern SP5 so that the option C1 or the option C3 can be selected.

  On the other hand, when the change lottery is won (after the predetermined condition is satisfied), the selection random numbers can be assigned to the sub variation pattern SP3 so that the option C1 or the option C2 can be selected. On the other hand, the sub-variation pattern SP5 is assigned a numerical value that can be selected by the selection random number so that any one of the options C1 to C5 can be selected. In the present embodiment, regardless of whether or not the change lottery is won, the sub variation patterns SP1, SP2, SP4, and SP6 are not set to execute the confrontation effect, so any options are available. Never selected.

  With this sort of distribution, at least one of “Saiya” and “Houyen”, regardless of whether or not the change lottery is won (whether or not the predetermined condition is met), Regardless of whether or not it is a big hit, it will always be a selectable formation. Moreover, regardless of whether or not the change lottery is won, the option C3 including “crane wing” can be selected only when the sub variation pattern SP5 is selected, that is, only when it is a big hit. . As a result, when an option including “crane wing” is presented, it is a big hit. However, it is not possible to determine which of the three types of jackpots is won. On the other hand, if the jackpot lottery is not won, no option including “crane wings” is presented.

  In addition, after winning the change lottery, the option C2 including “fish scale” can be selected. Thereby, after winning the change lottery, the player can select “fish scales” that cannot be selected before winning the change lottery. In the present embodiment, “Saiya” corresponds to the first selection element, while “square” corresponds to the second selection element. In addition, “crane wing” corresponds to the specific selection element, while “fish scale” corresponds to the limited selection element.

  After determining any one of the options according to the distribution of FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 31a sets an operation valid period for accepting the operation of the effect operation button BT as valid, and measures the period. This time measurement is performed by setting an initial value (for example, 3 seconds) in the effect control RAM 31c and subtracting the time corresponding to the control cycle for each control cycle (every 2 ms). Further, the effect control CPU 31a stores data specifying the formation located at the head of the option in a predetermined storage area in the effect control RAM 31c. For example, in the option C2, “Kaya” is the data positioned at the head, “Circle” is the second data, and “Fish scale” is the third data.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a having set the operation effective period selects image data for presenting the determined option in order to notify the player that the operation effective period is set, and is shown in FIG. As described above, the panel P, the cursor 40, the button image BG, and the message image Q are displayed. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a overlays the cursor 40 with the panel P specified by the data stored in the storage area in order to display the data stored in the storage area as the currently selected panel. To display. As a result, the panel P corresponding to the data stored in the storage area is selected by the cursor 40 in appearance.

  Thereafter, when the operation signal indicating that the effect operation button BT has been operated is input from the effect operation button BT, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the operation effective period remains. When the operation valid period remains, the effect control CPU 31a stores data specifying the next formation in the storage area. Then, the effect control CPU 31 a causes the effect display device 11 to display the panel P specified by the data newly stored in the storage area so as to overlap the cursor 40. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 31a repeatedly executes the above-described control until the operation valid period reaches 0 seconds. That is, when the operation effective period remains, the presentation control CPU 31a replaces the data to be stored in the storage area each time an operation signal is input, and causes the panel P corresponding to the replaced data to be displayed over the cursor 40. This makes it possible to select a panel that suits the player's preference.

  Then, when the remaining time of the operation effective period becomes 0 second, the effect control CPU 31a notifies that the panel P specified by the data stored in the storage area has been determined. This notification is performed, for example, in such a manner that the cursor 40 displayed so as to overlap the panel P blinks. Accordingly, since the characters written on the panel P can be visually recognized from the inner frame of the blinking frame-like cursor 40, it is notified that the formation corresponding to the panel P displayed so as to overlap the cursor 40 is selected. Will be.

  Then, the production control CPU 31a recognizes that the formation corresponding to the panel P specified by the data stored in the storage area at the time when the operation valid period has elapsed, and specifies the determined formation. Is stored in another storage area. Then, the effect control CPU 31a refers to the confirmed formation and determines the detailed content of the confrontation effect based on the selected sub variation pattern.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a stores the data for specifying the formation located at the head of the option as a default value in the storage area after setting the operation valid period. As a result, even if the production operation button BT is not operated once during the operation effective period, the formation specified by the data stored in the storage area, that is, the formation positioned at the head of the option is determined. Will be.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 functions as a presentation means for presenting options. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a that causes the effect display device 11 to present options functions as a presentation control unit. Further, the effect control CPU 31a that selects any one of the presented formations according to the operation of the effect operation button BT functions as an element selection unit.

  Next, a determination method for determining the detailed content of the confrontation effect will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the effect determination table for determining the detailed content of the confrontation effect is set. The effect determination table is stored in the effect control ROM 31b. Then, after determining the sub variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a determines the detailed content of the confrontation effect according to the formation selected by the player from the effect determination table.

  In FIG. 9, “defense” and “attack” are set as detailed contents of the confrontation effect. Then, when “Tatsuya” is selected by the player's intention, if the big hit lottery is won, that is, if the sub-variation pattern SP5 is selected, the “200” against “defense”. While random number values are distributed, 800 random number values are distributed to “attack”. On the other hand, if “Yuya” is selected by the player's intention, if the big hit lottery is not won, that is, if the sub-variation pattern SP3 is selected, 800 against “defense”. While random number values are distributed, 200 random number values are distributed to “attack”.

  In addition, if the player's intention is to select “Yen”, and if the player wins the jackpot lottery, 1000 random numbers are assigned to “defense”, while “attack” Random numbers are not distributed. On the other hand, if “square” is selected by the player's intention, 1000 random numbers can be assigned to “attack” if the big hit lottery is not won. Random numbers are not distributed.

  In addition, if “fish scale” is selected by the player's intention, if a big hit lottery is won, 400 random numbers are assigned to “defense”, while “attack” is against 600 random numbers are distributed. On the other hand, if “fish scales” is selected by the player's intention, 600 random numbers are assigned to “defense” and “attack” is not assigned if the big hit lottery is not won. 400 random values are distributed.

  Also, if “Tsuru-Tsubasa” is selected by the player ’s intention, if the big hit lottery is won, 1000 random numbers are assigned to “Attack”, while “Defense” Random numbers are not distributed. On the other hand, as described with reference to FIG. 7, since the sub-variation pattern SP3 is not associated with options including “crane wings”, “crane wings” are not selected.

The content notified by the combination of the formation selected by the player and the content of the effect of the confrontation effect will be described with reference to FIG.
If the player has selected “Saiya”, and has won the big hit lottery, the content of “attack” is more easily selected than “defense”. On the other hand, when the player has selected “Saiya”, the content of “defense” is more easily selected than “attack” when the player has not won the big hit lottery. As a result, if the player has selected “Saiya”, if “attack” is selected as the result of the confrontation production, the player will win the jackpot lottery rather than the possibility that he has not won the jackpot lottery. This means that there is a high possibility. On the other hand, if the player has selected “Saiya”, if “Defense” is selected as a result of the confrontation effect, the player has not won the jackpot lottery than the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery. It means that the possibility is high.

  On the other hand, when the player has selected “one way”, “defense” is always selected when the player wins the big hit lottery. On the other hand, if the player has selected “one way”, “attack” is always selected when the big hit lottery is not won. As a result, if the player has selected the “direction circle”, if “defense” is selected as the result of the confrontation effect, the player will always win. On the other hand, when the player has selected “one way”, if “attack” is selected as a result of the confrontation effect, it means that the big hit lottery is not won.

  In addition, when the player has selected “fish scales”, if the player wins the big hit lottery, the content of “attack” is more easily selected than “defense”. However, the content of “attack” is less likely to be selected than when the player selects “Saiya”. On the other hand, when the player has selected “fish scales”, the content of “defense” is more easily selected than “attack” when the player has not won the big hit lottery. However, the content of “defense” is less likely to be selected than when the player selects “Saiya”. As a result, if the player has selected “fish scales” and “attack” is selected as the result of the confrontation production, the player wins the jackpot lottery rather than the possibility that he has not won the jackpot lottery. It is likely that there is. On the other hand, if the player has selected “fish scales”, if “defense” is selected as the result of the confrontation effect, the player may not win the jackpot lottery than the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery. It means that the nature is high. However, compared with the case where the player has selected “Saiya”, it is difficult to understand the possibility of winning the big hit lottery.

  Further, if the player has selected “Crane Tsubasa” and “Wind” is selected, “Attack” is always selected. On the other hand, when the jackpot lottery is not won, options including “crane wings” are not determined. As a result, when the player has selected “Crane Tsubasa”, if “attack” is selected as the result of the confrontation effect, it will be clearly notified that the big hit lottery is won. It will be. Then, the effect control CPU 31a that has determined the detailed content of the confrontation effect controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the confrontation effect is executed with the determined content.

Hereinafter, the possibility of winning the big hit lottery will be described with specific examples.
For example, in the non-probable change state and the non-change short state, the possibility that the player selects “Saiya” as the formation and “attack” is selected as the content of the effect of the confrontation will be a big hit, It is calculated by the following calculation formula (1).

(Probability of winning the jackpot lottery × Probability of selecting the sub-variation pattern SP5 (FIG. 3) × Probability of selecting “attack” (FIG. 9)) / (Probability of not winning the jackpot lottery × Reach probability × Sub-variation pattern Probability of selecting SP3 (FIG. 3) × Probability of selecting “attack” (FIG. 9)) + (Probability of winning a big hit lottery × Probability of selecting sub-variation pattern SP5 (FIG. 3) × “attack” (1)
As a result, assuming that the symbol variation game is played in the non-variable short state and the non-probable variable state, the possibility of a big hit calculated using the formula (1) is as follows. .

(165/65536 × 211/251 × 800/1000) / ((65536-165) / 65536 × 17/241 × 10/251 × 200/1000)) + (165/65536 × 211/251 × 800/1000) = 0.7551245
On the other hand, if the player selects “Saiya” as the formation and “attack” is selected as the content of the confrontation effect, the possibility of losing is “1-0.7551245 = 0.248755”. .

  As a result, the possibility of winning a big hit “0.7551245” is greater than the possibility of losing “0.248755”, so if the player has selected “Saiya”, the result of the confrontation effect will be If “attack” is selected, it means that there is a higher possibility of winning the jackpot lottery than the possibility of not winning the jackpot lottery.

  Regardless of what type of player the player has selected by using this sort of distribution, in FIG. 9, either “attack” or “defense” is selected depending on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery. Will be decided. Since the selection ratio of “attack” or “defense” varies depending on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery and the formation selected by the player, the player selects the formation selected by the player himself, It is possible to determine whether or not the symbol variation game being executed is highly likely to be a big hit based on the combination with the production contents of the confrontation effect determined by the CPU 31a. That is, even when the confrontation effect is performed with the same effect content (attack type or defense type), the degree of expectation for the effect content of the confrontation effect changes depending on the formation selected by the player.

  Further, the selection effect for selecting the formation is not the one in which the effect control CPU 31a uniquely selects the formation, but the formation selected by the player's button operation is selected. Thus, the symbol variation game can be developed reflecting the player's intention.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 31a for effect control that selects the detailed content of the confrontation effect based on the sub variation pattern functions as an effect content selection unit. Further, the effect control CPU 31a that develops the confrontation effect with the determined details functions as effect control means. Further, winning the big hit lottery corresponds to a result advantageous to the player. On the other hand, not winning the lottery lottery corresponds to a disadvantageous result for the player.

Hereinafter, the flow of the confrontation effect accompanied by the selection effect will be described with reference to FIG.
FIGS. 11A to 11E are based on the premise that the sub variation pattern SP5 is selected by winning the 16R first probability variation big hit.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (a), it is assumed that “Saiya” is selected as a formation by the player's intention in the selection effect. At this time, the player desires that the confrontation effect be executed with the content of the “attack” suitable for the “Saiya” selected by the player. Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses, the enemy army TG dispatches as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 11C, an image is displayed in which the enemy army TG that has dispatched and the friendly army MG that takes the form of “Saiya” determined in FIG. Thereafter, in FIG. 11D, a confrontation effect is performed with the content determined with reference to the effect determination table shown in FIG. In the effect determination table shown in FIG. 9, when the player selects “Saiya”, “attack” is more easily selected than “defense” if the player wins the big hit lottery. Thus, if “attack” is selected as the content of the effect of the confrontation effect, the confrontation effect is developed in such a manner that the teammate character M attacks the enemy character T as shown in FIG. The player desires that “win” is derived as a confrontation result when the confrontation effect is executed with the content of “attack” for which “Saiya” is suitable. Then, at the end of the symbol variation game, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), it is notified that the teammate character M has won the enemy character T, and thereafter, the symbol combination of the big hit is derived.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when “Saiya” is selected, the content of the attack system is selected, so that the player can use the combination of “Saiya” and “attack” as a confrontation result. It is possible to recognize that it is easy to become “win”, that is, it is easy to make a big hit.

11 (a) to 11 (c), (f), and (g) are based on the assumption that the big hit lottery is not won.
As shown in FIG. 11 (a), it is assumed that “Saiya” is selected as a formation by the player's intention in the selection effect. At this time, the player desires that the confrontation effect be executed with the content of the “attack” suitable for the “Saiya” selected by the player. Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses, the enemy army TG dispatches as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 11C, an image is displayed in which the enemy army TG that has dispatched and the friendly army MG that takes the form of “Saiya” determined in FIG. Thereafter, in FIG. 11F, a confrontation effect is performed with the content determined with reference to the effect determination table shown in FIG. In the effect determination table shown in FIG. 9, when the player has selected “Saiya”, “Defense” is more easily selected than “Attack” if the player has not won the big hit lottery. Accordingly, if “defense” is selected as the content of the effect of the confrontation effect, the confrontation effect is developed in such a manner that the teammate character M defends the attack of the enemy character T as shown in FIG. The player recognizes that “victory” is difficult to be derived as a result of the confrontation when the confrontation effect is executed with the content of “defense” that is not suitable for “Saiya”. Then, at the end of the symbol variation game, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), it is notified that the ally character M has been defeated by the enemy character T, and thereafter, a symbol combination that is out of place is derived.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when “Saiya” is selected, the content of the defense system is selected, so that the player can obtain a confrontation result by combining “Saiya” and “Defense”. It is possible to recognize that it is difficult to become “win”, that is, difficult to win.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the confrontation effect is performed with the same effect content (attack type or defense type), the degree of expectation for the effect content of the confrontation effect varies depending on the formation selected by the player. become.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The selection element (campus shape) includes “Saiya” and “Circle”. Then, depending on whether or not an effect result (big hit) advantageous to the player is obtained, the selection probability of the effect contents is varied according to the formation selected by the player. For example, when “Saiya” is selected when the performance result (big hit) is advantageous for the player, “attack” is selected with a higher probability than “defense”. Thereby, the player can determine whether or not an effect result (big hit) advantageous to the player is obtained by a combination of the formation selected by the player and the effect content of the selected symbol variation game. . Thereby, even when the symbol variation game is performed with the same production content (attack type or defense type), depending on the difference in the formation (Saiya / square) selected by the operation of the production operation button BT by the player It is possible to improve the interest of the player by changing the degree of expectation that the production results are advantageous for the production contents.

  (2) The selection element (campus shape) includes “Saiya” and “Circle”. Then, depending on whether or not an effect result (big hit) advantageous to the player is obtained, the selection probability of the effect contents is varied according to the formation selected by the player. For example, when “Saiya” is selected when the production result is unfavorable for the player, “Defense” is selected with a higher probability than “Attack”. Thereby, the player can determine whether or not an effect result (big hit) advantageous to the player is obtained by a combination of the formation selected by the player and the effect content of the selected symbol variation game. . Thereby, even when the symbol variation game is performed with the same production content (attack type or defense type), depending on the difference in the formation (Saiya / square) selected by the operation of the production operation button BT by the player It is possible to improve the interest of the player by changing the degree of expectation that the production results are advantageous for the production contents.

  (3) Depending on whether or not the big hit is determined to be a big hit, the selection probability of the production contents is varied according to the formation selected by the player. For example, when “Large” is selected when the big hit is determined to be a big hit, “attack” is selected with a higher probability than “defense”. On the other hand, if “Large” is selected when the jackpot is not determined to be a big hit, “defense” is selected with a higher probability than “attack”. Thereby, even when the symbol variation game is performed with the same production content (attack type or defense type), depending on the difference in the formation (Saiya / square) selected by the operation of the production operation button BT by the player The interest of the player can be improved by changing the degree of expectation of the jackpot for the contents.

  (4) When “Crane Tsubasa” is included in the options presented on the effect display device 11, even if the symbol variation game is executed with either “attack type” or “defense type” effect contents, it is a big hit. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the game from the stage where the options are presented.

  (5) By providing a “fish scale” that is selected only when a predetermined condition (in the embodiment, winning a change lottery) is established, it can be noted whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied.

  (6) As shown in FIG. 7, options including “crane wings” are associated with the sub variation pattern SP5 that can be selected when the big hit is won. Accordingly, when an option including “crane wing” is presented, it is possible to notify the player that a big hit will be made even if “crane wing” is not selected.

  (7) In the non-variable state, the selection ratio of the content of the confrontation effect is based on the fact that whether or not the big hit lottery is won, rather than the selection ratio of the contest effect is different depending on the type of the big hit Was made different. During the non-changeable state, the player desires to win the big hit lottery regardless of the type of the big hit, rather than whether or not the type of the big hit won is a probable big hit. Therefore, if the selection effect and the confrontation effect are executed during the non-changeable state and the combination of the formation selected by the player and the effect content of the confrontation effect is notified, it is reported that there is a high possibility of a big hit. The player wishes to make a jackpot game, and then shift to a variable state that is more advantageous than the current game state (non-variable state). As a result, the notification effect is performed in a manner that matches the psychological situation of the player, leading to an improvement in the interest of the game.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-Embodiment may be the aspect which moves the cursor 40 and makes the panel P select.
-Embodiment is good also as a specification which can select the player's favorite panel P arbitrarily by operation of the operation button BT for production.

  In the embodiment, in addition to the button image BG and the message image Q in the effect display device 11, the operation of the effect operation button BT is prompted by causing the light emitter incorporated in the effect operation button BT to emit light. good.

  -In embodiment, in FIG. 9, you may vary the selection ratio of an option according to the kind of winning jackpot. For example, if the player has selected “Saiya”, “attack” will be selected when winning the probable big hit, while “defense” will be chosen when winning the non-probable big hit. May be selected.

  -In the embodiment, when winning a probable big hit (16R 1st probable big hit or 16R 2nd promising big hit), the winning combination is won by combining with the formation selected by the player (for example, “Yuya”) It is also possible to increase the selection rate of the production contents (for example, “attack”) that can be notified that there is a high possibility that the user is performing. On the other hand, when winning a non-probable big hit, the content of the production (for example, “defense”) can notify that the probability of winning the big hit lottery is low, as in the case where the big hit lottery is not won. ) May be increased.

  In the embodiment, when the 16R first probable big hit, which is more advantageous than the 16R second probable big hit, is won because the number of change upper limit is large among the probable big hits, the formation selected by the player (for example, “ In combination with “Saiya”), the selection rate of the production content (for example, “attack”) that can notify that there is a high possibility of winning the jackpot may be increased. On the other hand, when winning the 16R 2nd probable big hit or non-probable big win, the content of the performance can notify that the probability of winning the big win lottery is low as in the case of not winning the big win lottery The selection rate (for example, “defense”) may be increased.

  In the embodiment, when the sub variation pattern SP3 is selected, “defense” can be selected when “square” is selected as a formation in the effect determination table shown in FIG. In this way, numerical values that can be taken by random numbers may be distributed. However, it is preferable that the selection probability of “defense” is lower than the selection probability of “attack”. Similarly, when the sub variation pattern SP5 is selected, “attack” can be selected when “square” is selected as the formation in the effect determination table shown in FIG. You may sort the numerical value that the random number can take. However, the “attack” selection probability is preferably lower than the “defense” selection probability.

  In the embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won in the effect determination table shown in FIG. 9, even when the “direction” is selected by the player, the “attack” can also be selected. good. However, it is assumed that the selection rate is lower than “defense”. With such a setting, even when the content of “attack” is selected, it can be expected to be a big hit.

  In the embodiment, in the effect determination table shown in FIG. 9, when the big hit lottery is won, “Defense” is selected so that “Attack” is always selected when “Saiya” is selected by the player. The selection random number may not be distributed. In addition, if you do n’t win the jackpot lottery, do n’t assign random numbers to “attack” so that “defense” is always selected when the player selects “Saiya”. Also good. With such a setting, since a big hit is always made when the content of “attack” is selected, it is clearly notified that a big hit has been made.

  In the embodiment, the sub variation patterns SP4 and SP6 that are not associated with the confrontation effects may be deleted. In other words, when a big hit lottery or a reach lottery is won, a confrontation effect may be executed.

  In the embodiment, it is advantageous for the player to win the first big hit (in this example, the 16R first certainty big hit) with a large number of change upper limit times, and the number of change upper limit times is set to be small. It may be a disadvantageous result for the player to win two big hits (in this example, 16R second probability big hit). When the first big hit is won, an option including “crane wing” (for example, option C3) can be selected, while when the second big hit is won, the “crane wing” The option including “ In this case, regardless of whether the first big hit or the second big hit is won, the possibility of winning the big hit depending on the combination with the formation selected by the player (for example, “Saiya”) The selection rate of the production content (for example, “attack”) that can be notified of the fact that it is high may be increased. In addition, only in the case of winning the first jackpot, it is possible to notify that the possibility of winning the jackpot is high by the combination with the formation selected by the player (for example, “Saiya”). The selection rate of the effect contents (for example, “attack”) that can be performed may be increased.

-The formations set in the embodiment may be two types, "Saiya" and "Shape".
In the embodiment, the predetermined condition for presenting the option including “fish scales” is determined to win the change lottery, but other phenomena may be recognized as the establishment of the predetermined condition. For example, after the big hit game is over, the number of times of execution of the symbol variation game may have reached a specified number (10 times), or the operation button BT may be operated.

  -The type of jackpot in the embodiment may be arbitrarily changed as long as it can be divided into a jackpot advantageous to the player and a jackpot disadvantageous to the player. For example, two types of 16R second probability variation big hit and 16R non-probability big hit may be used. Further, the difference in the degree of advantage may be the presence or absence of a probability variation state, or may be the number of rounds. Further, when the round game time is varied, the length of the total round game time in one big hit game may be the difference in advantage, or the difference in the upper limit number of times of change may be the difference in advantage. In addition, the number of symbol variation games to which the probability variation state is given may be a difference in the degree of advantage. In such a case, until the next big hit lottery is won, you may set a big hit to give a probability variation state and a big hit to change from a certain variation state to a non-probability variation state after the prescribed number of symbol variation games have ended (so-called , The function to give the probability fluctuation of the number of times cut).

  In the embodiment, if the lottery result of the big hit lottery is notified and the level of the big hit expectation degree can be notified by the combination with the option selected in the selection effect, the content of the effect of the symbol variation game is confrontation It is not limited to directing. For example, in the case of an effect form of “a big hit if a character projecting a player finds a treasure”, a plurality of paths to reach the treasure are set (for example, a mountain route and a sea route). In addition, a mode in which the character's equipment can be selected by a player's button operation or the like and either the mountain route or the sea route can be selected according to the equipment selected by the player is also conceivable.

  In the embodiment, the selection effect and the confrontation effect may be executed during a period in which it is definitely notified that the probability variation state is given. In such a case, the player is more interested in whether or not the probability variation state is continuously given rather than whether or not the big hit lottery is won. Therefore, if the selection effect and the confrontation effect are executed during the period in which it is definitely notified that the probability variation state is given, the following selection ratio may be set. In other words, when the probability variation state is continuously granted (winning for the probability variation jackpot or not winning the jackpot lottery), the probability variation state is continued by the combination with the formation selected by the player (for example, “Saiya”) It is also possible to increase the selection rate of performance contents (for example, “attack”) that can be notified that there is a high possibility of performing. On the other hand, if the probability change state is not continuously granted (winning for the non-probability big hit), the probability change state is likely to end depending on the combination with the formation selected by the player (for example, “Saiya”) You may raise the selection rate of the production content (for example, "defense") which can be notified. Further, even if it is notified that the probability variation state is likely to end, it may be expected that the probability variation state continues. That is, when winning the 16R second probability variation big hit or 16R non-probable big hit, it is notified that the probability variation state is likely to end depending on the combination with the formation selected by the player (for example, “Saiya”). The selection rate of the production contents (for example, “defense”) that can be performed may be increased.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when “Saiya” is selected when winning the jackpot lottery, “attack (eg, 800/1000)” rather than “defense (eg, 200/1000)” "Is set so that it can be selected with high probability. On the other hand, when “one-way” is selected when winning the big hit lottery, “defense (for example, 1000/1000)” can be selected with higher probability than “attack (for example, 0/1000)”. Set to. On the other hand, if “Yuya” is selected when the big hit lottery is not won, the “defensive (200/1000)” is selected as compared to the ratio of “defense (200/1000)” when the big hit lottery is won. (For example, 300/1000) "may be selected with high probability. Also, when “one-way” is selected when the big hit lottery is not won, the “attack (eg, 0/1000)” is selected as compared to the ratio of “attack (0/1000)” when the big hit lottery is won. , 100/1000) "may be selected with high probability.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when “Saiya” is selected when the big hit lottery is not won, “defense (eg, 800/1000)” is selected rather than “attack (eg, 200/1000)”. 1000) "is set to be selectable with high probability. On the other hand, when “one-way” is selected when the big hit lottery is not won, “attack (eg, 1000/1000)” can be selected with higher probability than “defense (eg, 0/1000)”. Set as follows. On the other hand, when “Saiya” is selected when winning the jackpot lottery, compared to the ratio of selecting “attack (200/1000)” when not winning the jackpot lottery, “Attack (for example, 300/1000)” may be selected with high probability. In addition, when “Wind Circle” is selected when winning the jackpot lottery, “Defense (0/1000)” is selected as compared to the ratio of selecting “Defense (0/1000)” when not winning the jackpot lottery. (For example, 100/1000) "may be selected with high probability.

  In the embodiment, when “Saiya” is selected when winning the big hit lottery, “attack (800/1000)” can be selected with higher probability than “defense (200/1000)”. It is set. On the other hand, if “one-way circle” is selected when winning the big hit lottery, “defense (1000/1000)” is set to be selectable with higher probability than “attack (0/1000)”. By making such a distribution, at the time of winning the big hit lottery, it becomes easy to select the production contents that can notify that there is a high possibility of winning the big hit lottery in combination with the formation selected by the player Will be. Therefore, if “Yuya” is selected when the jackpot lottery is not won, or if “Waien” is selected when the jackpot lottery is not won, it is determined as the content of the confrontation effect. The selection ratio of “attack” and “defense” may be unquestioned.

  In the embodiment, when “Saiya” is selected when the big hit lottery is not won, “Defense (800/1000)” can be selected with higher probability than “Attack (200/1000)”. It is set as follows. On the other hand, if “one-way” is selected when the big hit lottery is not won, “attack (1000/1000)” is set to be selectable with higher probability than “defense (0/1000)” To do. By making such a distribution, when the jackpot lottery is not won, there is a production content that can notify that the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery is low by a combination with the formation selected by the player It will be easier to select. Therefore, if “Saiya” is selected when winning the jackpot lottery, or if “Waien” is selected when winning the jackpot lottery, “attack” and “attack” determined as the contents of the confrontation effect will be determined. The selection ratio of “defense” may be unquestioned.

  In the embodiment, the first start prize port 15 and the second start prize port 16 are positioned on the same flow path, such as the second start prize port 16 disposed below the first start prize port 15. It may be arranged.

In the embodiment, one type of special figure variation game can be executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of types of special figure variation games may be executable.
In the embodiment, the main control CPU 30a may output a control command indicating a winning type instead of the special figure designation command. This control command is a command set for each hit type, and the type of special figure cannot be specified. When the main variation pattern is set for each winning type, the effect control CPU 31a may grasp the winning type based on the main variation pattern designation command.

In the embodiment, the effect control board 31 may be divided into an effect display control board that controls the effect display device 11 and a sub general control board that controls the effect display control board.
-Although embodiment was embodied in the pachinko gaming machine using a special figure and a decoration drawing, you may materialize in the pachinko gaming machine using only a special figure.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) In a gaming machine that includes an effect operating means that can be operated by a player, and that performs an effect of selecting an effect content by operating the effect operating means, a starting condition for a symbol variation game is given.
