The jackpot determining unit 55 determines whether or not the jackpot is won. Note that the special reach effect image refers to an image that has a higher degree of expectation for winning the jackpot than a normal reach effect image.

Hereinafter, a characteristic game effect operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.
6 to 9 are diagrams showing examples of effect images of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.
For example, when the effect pattern control command from the game control board 111 determined by the command determination unit 51 is the reach effect command of the present invention, the display control unit 52 displays the symbol display device 9 on, for example, FIG. A reach effect image as shown in FIG. In FIG. 6A, for example, a rock escape effect image in which the main character escapes from the rock is displayed as the reach effect image. In such a reach effect image, for example, an image prompting the operation of the chance button 19 as shown in FIG. 6B is displayed. Here, when the player operates the chance button 19 within a predetermined period, the operation is detected by the button operation detecting unit 53 and the effect lottery unit 54 performs the effect lottery.
As a result of the lottery at the production lottery unit 54, when the production lottery is won, after displaying the production image that falls from the cliff as shown in FIG. 7A, the big hit as shown in FIG. 7B A special reach effect image with a high expectation level is displayed. Here, the effect image shown to Fig.7 (a) is a relay image for adjusting the time of the whole effect image mentioned later. Further, the reach effect image shown in FIG. 7B is an effect image with a high expectation degree of jackpot, and here, for example, the hero develops (transitions) into a dolly effect that rides on a dolly. Note that, as a result of the lottery in the effect lottery unit 54, when the effect lottery is not won, a rock escape effect image is continuously displayed as a reach effect image, for example, as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the chance control unit 121 is operated at a predetermined timing when the production control unit 121 performs display control of a predetermined reach production image, the production lottery unit An effect lottery is performed at 54, and the reach effect image is changed to a special reach effect image with a high expected value based on the lottery result. If comprised in this way, it will become possible to display various reach effect images, without increasing the effect pattern control command of the game control board 111. FIG. Further, in the present embodiment, since the production pattern control command of the game control board 111 is not increased, the memory capacity of the ROM 123 of the production control unit 121 is not increased, and therefore, it can be realized without increasing the cost.

Next, the truck effect image that is the special reach effect image will be described.
The truck effect image shown in FIG. 7B is a player participation type effect image. For this reason, when it develops into a truck effect image, a game explanation screen as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B is displayed. In the trolley effect image shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the player presses the chance button 19 in a timely manner while viewing the effect image displayed on the symbol display device 9, and as shown in FIG. 9C. As described above, the trolley images on which the hero rides jump to acquire treasure images displayed on the screen one after another, and the jackpot is expected depending on the number of finally acquired treasure images.
For this reason, in this embodiment, as the truck effect image, a plurality of truck effect image data (special reach effect image data) having different numbers of treasure images displayed on the screen is prepared in advance. When the truck effect is performed in a state where the jackpot is won internally, the ratio of selecting image data having a relatively large number of treasure images is set to be high.
On the other hand, when the truck effect is performed in a state where the jackpot is not won, the ratio of selecting image data with a relatively small number of treasure images is set to be high.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of course selection in a truck production.
In the example shown in FIG. 10, eight types of truck effect image data (courses A to H) are prepared as the truck effect image data. The maximum number of treasure images that can be acquired for each course is different. For example, course A is 77, course B is 86, course C is 93, course D is 97, course E is 178, course F is 113 pieces, course G is 118 pieces, and course H is 410 pieces. The courses E to H are so-called premium courses in which the winning of the jackpot is confirmed.
In the case of a losing state in which the jackpot is not won internally, the ratio (32/89) in which the course A with the smallest number of treasure images is selected is the highest (hereinafter, course B, course C, course D). The percentage selected in the order of is low. In other words, in the case of losing, it is set so that the ratio of selecting the course with the smallest maximum number of treasure is increased.
On the other hand, in the case of winning the jackpot, the ratio of course A and course B being selected is lower than that of losing, and the ratio of course C and course D being selected is higher. Also, premium courses (Course E to Course H) that are not selected in the case of losing can be selected. In other words, when the jackpot is won, the ratio of selecting a course with a large number of treasure is set to be high.
This increases the probability that the number of treasure images that can be acquired when winning a jackpot is greater than the number of treasure images that can be acquired when lost.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the player presses the chance button 19 while watching the effect image, a lottery (second lottery) is performed at a height at which the trolley image (effect image) on which the hero rides jumps, One of large jump, medium jump, and small jump is selected.
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a region where a treasure image can be acquired when the hero's trolley image jumps. FIG. 11A shows an acquisition region when a large jump is selected, and FIG. FIG. 11C shows the acquisition area when the middle jump is selected, and FIG. 11C shows the acquisition area when the small jump is selected. 11A to 11C, treasure images can be acquired most when a large jump is selected, and the number of images that can be acquired in the order of medium jump and small jump is reduced.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the big hit is won internally, the ratio of selecting the large jump is set to be high, and conversely, the ratio of selecting the small jump and the middle jump is set in the case of the shift state. Is set to be higher.
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of jump selection in a truck effect.
As shown in FIG. 12, when the big hit is won, the ratio (55/97) in which the large jump is selected is the highest, and hereinafter, the middle jump (37/97) and the small jump (5/97). It is in order. In other words, when the jackpot is won, it is set so that the ratio of selecting a large jump that can acquire a lot of treasure is increased. On the other hand, in the case of the lost state, the ratio of selecting the large jump (45/97) is lower than in the case of the big hit, and conversely, the middle jump (45/97) and the small jump (7/97) are selected. Is set to be high. Thereby, the ratio that the number of treasure images that can be acquired when winning a big hit is larger than the number of treasure images that can be acquired in the event of a loss is increased.

Hereinafter, an example of the game effect of the present embodiment described so far will be specifically described.
FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically showing main images of the truck effect image displayed on the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment. FIG. 13A is an arrangement of treasure images when course A is selected. b) Treasure image placement when Course B is selected, (c) Treasure image placement when Course C is selected, and (d) Treasure image placement when Course D is selected. An example is shown for each.
In FIG. 13, two kinds of treasure images (one treasure and five treasure) with different scores are displayed on the screen, and all the treasure images are acquired, so that the total score (number) is obtained in course A. “77”, Course B has a total score of “86”, Course C has a total score of “93”, and Course D has a total score of “97”. FIG. 13 shows the total score that can be acquired on each screen depending on the timing (position) of operating the chance button 19 and the type of jump.
From this FIG. 13, in the truck effect image of this embodiment, the number of treasure images that can be acquired differs depending on the course selected by lottery, the timing of operating the chance button 19, and the type of jump selected by lottery. Recognize. In other words, it can be seen that the expected value for winning the jackpot changes.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the player participation type truck effect image is displayed on the symbol display device 9 as the game effect image, and the player is given a sense of expectation of winning a big hit with the truck effect image. This makes it possible to provide an interesting game effect to the player. In particular, in this embodiment, when the jackpot determination unit 55 determines that the jackpot is won internally, one of the truck effect images is selected from the plurality of truck effect images by the first lottery. In this case, the ratio of selecting the truck effect image that is expected to win the jackpot is increased, and conversely, in the case of a loss, the ratio of selecting the truck effect image that is expected to win the jackpot is decreased. Furthermore, if the jackpot determination unit 55 determines that the jackpot is won, a jump image that is expected to win the jackpot in the second lottery is selected from a plurality of jump images in the chance button effect. On the contrary, in the case of losing, the ratio of selecting jump images that expect a big hit is reduced.
In this way, the player-participation-type trolley production becomes more complicated, and it becomes possible to realize a game production that never gets tired.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing processing of the game control board of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Note that the processing described below is realized by the CPU 112 of the game control board 111 executing a program stored in the ROM 113.
In this case, when the CPU 112 detects that the game ball has won the start winning opening as the main process by the start SW (S1), the CPU 112 acquires a random number (S2) and produces an effect pattern control command based on the acquired random number value. It transmits to the control board 120 (S3), and a process is complete | finished.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the processing of the effect control board of the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment. Note that the processing described below is realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.
In this case, when receiving the effect control command from the game control board 111 (S11), the CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 determines whether or not the effect control command is a specific command (S12). If it is determined that there is, specific effect image data is read from the ROM 123 and a reach image is displayed on the symbol display device 9 (S13).
Next, an image that prompts the user to operate the chance button for a predetermined period is superimposed and displayed on the symbol display device 9 on which the reach image is displayed (S14).
Next, it is determined whether or not the chance button 19 has been operated during a predetermined period in which the image of the chance button 19 is displayed (S15).
When it is determined in step S15 that the chance button 19 has been operated, an effect lottery is performed (S16).
If it is determined that the effect lottery is won (S17), a special reach effect process for displaying a special reach effect image (trolley effect image) on the symbol display device 9 is executed (S18). On the other hand, if the operation of the chance button 19 is not performed in step S15, or if the effect lottery is not won in step S17, the effect process is terminated without executing the special reach effect process.
If it is determined in step S12 that the received effect pattern control command is not a predetermined command, another effect process corresponding to the effect pattern control command is performed (S19) to finish the process.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing special reach effect processing of the effect control board of the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment. The process shown in FIG. 16 is also realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.
In this case, the CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 first checks whether or not the jackpot is won internally (S21), and then a lottery of course images (special reach effect images) based on the jackpot winning result ( A first lottery is performed (S22). Then, the course image determined by the lottery is reproduced (S23).
Next, it is determined whether or not the chance button 19 has been operated (S24).
