  The symbol display device 17 displays a variation so that the decoration moves along a predetermined variation direction (vertical direction from top to bottom in the embodiment) at the start of the symbol variation effect. The decorative drawings that are variably displayed in the determined stop order are stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. In the embodiment, at the start of the symbol variation effect, the decorative symbols start to vary in the order of the left symbol column 26a, the middle symbol column 26b, and the right symbol column 26c. The left symbol column 26a, the right symbol column 26c, and the middle symbol column Based on the variation timing of the decorative drawing that is stopped and displayed in the order of 26b, the variation of the decorative drawing according to the effect content of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17, the number of stored special drawing start hold information (described later), etc. The timing is appropriately changed.

  In addition, in the symbol display device 17, before the symbol variation effect ends, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c, and the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26 are displayed. When the decorative drawing of 26c is displayed in a fixed stop state, one symbol variation effect is finished. In other words, the symbol variation effect (the first special diagram variation display and the second special diagram variation display) is determined from the start of the variation of the decorative drawing (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one special diagram start hold information. The process is executed once until the stop. The “variable display” is a state in which the decorations displayed at the effective stop position 27 are changing in a predetermined order in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The “decision stop” of the decorative drawing is a state in which the decorative drawing is continuously stopped and displayed at the effective stop position 27 in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c for a predetermined special figure variation interval time. . In the embodiment, 500 ms (milliseconds) is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol variation effect (first special diagram variation display) based on the detection of the first start prize detection sensor 34, and the second start prize detection sensor. 500 ms is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol variation effect (second special diagram variation display) based on 35 detection. In addition, the “temporary stop” of the decoration diagram means that the decoration diagram displayed so as to remain at the effective stop position 27 in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is not continuously stopped for the special figure variation interval time. is there. That is, the temporary stop of the decorative drawing includes a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in the fluctuation state at the effective stop position 27 and a state in which the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special drawing fluctuation interval time.

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

  Here, in the symbol display device 17 according to the embodiment, 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” are set as basic ornamental drawings in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The figure is variably displayed in order in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. In addition, as a decoration drawing, it is not restricted to this, It is set as the form which a player can distinguish and identify each decoration drawing like arbitrary numbers, a character, a design, etc. The decoration diagram of the embodiment has a first identification pattern that can be definitely recognized by the player to give a certain change state (described later) after the jackpot game is finished, and a possibility that the probability change state is given after the jackpot game is finished. Is classified into a second identification symbol that can be recognized indefinitely. In this embodiment, the probability variation state that can be given after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later. Here, as a 1st identification design, even if it sets suitably from the basic decoration drawing, the special decoration drawing determined other than the basic decoration drawing can also be used. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “0”, “2”, “4”, “ An example in which the even symbols “6” and “8” are the second identification symbols will be described.

  Then, the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c that are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop position 27 (stop symbol effective line 28) of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c in the symbol display device 17 are the winning symbol combinations. In this case, it is possible to grasp that a winning game (a big hit game or a small game) is given. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is fixed and displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row is set as the big hit symbol combination. . The symbol combination of the decorations that can recognize the jackpot becomes a jackpot display displayed on the symbol display device 17, and a jackpot game advantageous to the player is given after the symbol variation effect is completed. In the embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned basic decoration drawing that is variably displayed on the symbol display device 17, it is set to be able to display a special decoration drawing (special symbol), and the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row is set. The special decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop display at any one of these (for example, the effective stop position of the middle symbol row), so that it can be recognized that a predetermined big hit game or a small hit game is given. The symbol combination of decorative figures that can recognize the possibility of occurrence of the big hit game or the small hit game becomes the hit suggestion display displayed on the symbol display device 17. On the other hand, if even one of the symbols in all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed at the effective stop position 27 of the symbol display device 17 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, “734”, “171”, etc.) ) In principle, it can be recognized that the game is “out of play” where no hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing which can recognize this deviation becomes a deviation display of the symbol display device 17. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined jackpot game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of specific symbol combinations include symbol combinations in which three rows of decorative symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order (for example, “123” and “321”), and left and right symbol rows 26a and 26b. Are the same, and the symbol combination of the right symbol column 26c is shifted by one (for example, “778”), and the symbol combination in which the three rows of ornamental symbols are a predetermined word alignment (for example, “758” (Nagoya)). ) And the like. In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of a decorative pattern that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c) among the plurality of symbol rows, and the remaining symbol rows (implemented) In the example, the middle symbol row 26b) is displayed in a variable display (reach display), so that the player can recognize that the reach has occurred. A specific example of reach display is a symbol combination (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c. In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. In addition, the decorations of the specific symbol rows (the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c) that form the reach display are in a temporarily stopped display state, and the decoration symbols are stopped in the remaining symbol rows (middle symbol row 26b). After the display (temporary stop display), the decorations of all the symbol sequences are displayed in a fixed stop display.

  In addition, the symbol display device 17 displays a symbol combination of decorations corresponding to the displayed special symbol as a result of the special symbol variation display performed by the first special symbol display unit 50A and the second special symbol display unit 50B. Is done. That is, the special figure displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B and the symbol combination of the decorations displayed on the symbol display device 17 correspond to each other, and the symbol variation effect is provided. When the process is completed, the special figure is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B, and the decoration figure is confirmed and stopped on the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c of the symbol display device 17. It is like that. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol. Yes.

(About probabilistic state)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. In the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the fact that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability is changed from a low probability (168/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1516/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the jackpot will fluctuate with a high probability and the jackpot game is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player will be the probability variation jackpot Playing games while expecting. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit to which a probability change state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the probability change state is continuously given until the next big hit occurs. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is provided, and the transition to the non-probability variation state may be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be the number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) executed after the probability variation state is given. In addition, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33 that opens the second start winning opening 31, it is possible to increase the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 31. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33 for opening the second start winning port 31 once per normal figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 33. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times the member 33 is opened, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a shortened state, and the shortened state in the embodiment is set by combining the above (1) to (3).

If so, the main control CPU 60a preferentially reads the second special figure start hold information over the first special figure start hold information, and executes the symbol fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation display).

  The hit determination random number is a random number used in the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) as to whether or not a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. In this embodiment, 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for hit determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Further, the special figure determining random number determines the special figure 1 to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A and the special figure 2 to be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B according to the result of the big hit determination. It is a random number to be used. Here, in the embodiment, 101 kinds of integer values from “0” to “100” are set as the special figure determination random numbers, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Yes. Each value of the special figure determination random number includes a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display indicating the above-mentioned deviation, a random number corresponding to two kinds of special figure displays indicating the winning of small hits, and winning of the big hit Random numbers corresponding to the 100 types of special figure display shown are set, and the special figure 1 or second special figure display displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A in a fixed stop state according to the value of the special figure determining random number. The special figure 2 displayed in a fixed stop state on the part 50B is specified. That is, the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A is specified by the value of the special figure determination random number acquired by the detection of the first start prize detection sensor 34, and the second start prize is obtained. Based on the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of the detection sensor 35, the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B is specified. As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified for each type of jackpot game, and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is specified, so The type of jackpot game to be given after the end is specified. Similarly, the special figure 1 and special figure 2 as the small hit symbols are classified for each kind of small hit game, and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is specified, so that after the symbol variation effect is ended. The type of small hit game to be given is specified. That is, the special figure determining random number has a function as a random number for determining the type of winning game (big hit game or small hit game). In addition, as described above, whether or not the probability variation state and the variable state are given after the big hit game is uniquely determined for each type of the big hit game, and the special figure determining random number is the probability variation state and the variable state. It also has a function as a random number for determining whether or not to give. Furthermore, one or a plurality of variable state grant periods (number of variable times) given after the big hit game are determined for each type of big hit game, and the special figure determining random number determines the variable period grant period. It also has a function as a random number.

  In addition, the random number for performance execution determination is displayed when the determination result in the above-described hit determination (big hit determination or small hit determination) is negative (in the case of a big hit or a small hit that is not won). This is a random number used in an effect execution determination (reach determination) as to whether or not an effect suggesting the possibility of display is performed. In the embodiment, 239 kinds of integer values from “0” to “238” are set as random numbers for effect execution determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Here, as an effect suggesting the possibility that a win display is displayed, a reach effect that is displayed with the reach display displayed in the process of symbol variation on the symbol display device 17, or a variation stop from the start of the decoration diagram variation A continuous notice effect (pre-read notice effect) that allows a variable cycle to be executed multiple times continuously, a notice effect that suggests the possibility of being displayed on the symbol display device 17, and a lamp This includes a notice effect that suggests to the player that the hit display may be displayed by the light of the device 18 or the sound output from the speaker 19. The special pattern variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to determine the variation pattern of the symbol variation in the symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, all 100 integer values from “0” to “99” are set as random numbers for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the hit determination random number, the special figure determination random number, the production execution determination random number, and the special figure variation pattern distribution random number are sent to the first start winning opening 30 or the second start winning opening 31. Each temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c triggered by the winning of a ball (more specifically, the first start winning detection sensor 34 or the second start winning detection sensor 35 detects a pachinko ball) The main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers at the same timing. Each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31 Are used in common, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 30, 31.

  The main control CPU 60a is set to acquire various random numbers as passage detection information triggered by the pachinko ball passing through the gate member 47 (more specifically, the gate sensor 48 detecting the pachinko ball). ing. Here, as the random numbers that the main control CPU 60a acquires upon the detection of the gate sensor 48, various random numbers such as a random number for determining a normal figure and a random number for determining a normal pattern variation pattern are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these random number values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update, thereby A random number is acquired in accordance with the timing when the detection signal of the sensor 48 is input to the main control CPU 60a. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Further, passage detection information (various random values) acquired when the pachinko ball passes through the gate sensor 48 is temporarily stored in a predetermined map storage area (storage area) of the main control RAM 60c as the map start hold information. It is configured to be stored in memory. The general-purpose map storage area is stored in the main control RAM 60c in the order in which it is stored in the main control RAM 60c. The normal start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in order.

  The random number for determining the normal figure is a random number used in the determination for the normal figure (lottery per general figure) as to whether or not the second start winning opening 31 is opened (per normal figure) as a result of the normal figure fluctuation. . In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The random number for allocating a general pattern variation is a random number used for determining a general pattern variation pattern that defines a variation time of a general variation in a general variation display. In the embodiment, nine types of integer values from “0” to “8” are set as random numbers for normal pattern variation pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes. Then, triggered by the passage of the pachinko sphere through the gate member 47 (more specifically, when the gate sensor 48 detects the pachinko sphere), the passage detection information (usually stored in the main control RAM 60c). The main control CPU 60a obtains a hit determination random number, a normal variation pattern distribution random number, and the like) at the same timing.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The big hit determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not the big hit is made using the hit determination random number (big hit determination). There are a total of 65536 possible hit determination random numbers from “0” to “65535”. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values (1516 in the embodiment) set in the probability variation state is larger than the number of jackpot determination values (168 in the embodiment) set in the non-probability state. Many are set. In other words, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, a jackpot game is likely to occur.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The determination value for special figure determination is displayed on the fixed stop display on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display unit 50B as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special drawing display unit 50A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number. In this embodiment, the special figure determination value is set to an integer value of “0” to “100” corresponding to the 101 types of special figure determination random numbers described above. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are associated with each value individually.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a small hit determination value indicating that a small hit is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The small hit determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not a small hit is made using the hit determination random number (small hit determination) when the result of the big hit determination is negative. A predetermined number (9 in the embodiment) of determination values is determined from numerical values (in the embodiment, a total of 65536 integers from “0” to “65535”). That is, the hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit determination and the small hit determination. Note that, as the hit determination random number, a big hit determination random number for big hit determination and a small hit determination random number for small hit determination can be individually set. Here, the small hit determination value is determined based on whether the winning information (random number for winning determination) is acquired with the detection of the first starting winning detection sensor 34 or the winning information (winning with the detection of the second starting winning detection sensor 35). Depending on whether or not (random number for determination) is acquired, the set number of determination values differs. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values (222 in the embodiment) set when the winning information (random number for winning determination) is acquired triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 is as follows. The number is set to be larger than the number of small hit determination values (one in the embodiment) set when winning information (random number for winning determination) is acquired triggered by detection of the two start winning detection sensors 35. That is, a small hit game is more likely to occur when triggered by the detection of the first startup prize detection sensor 34 than when triggered by the detection of the second startup prize detection sensor 35.

  The main control ROM 60b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value indicates whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests that the winning display may be displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) is negative. This is a determination value used in the production execution determination (reach lottery), and is determined from 239 different integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for production execution determination. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines that an effect such as a reach effect is to be executed when the value of the obtained effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value.

  Here, the performance execution determination value is the performance execution performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 (more specifically, when the first start winning detection sensor 34 detects the pachinko ball). In the case of determination, and in the case of effect execution determination performed in response to the pachinko ball winning the second start winning opening 31 (more specifically, the second start winning detection sensor 35 detecting the pachinko ball) Therefore, the number of judgment value settings is different. Further, the effect execution determination value is set according to whether or not the above-described certainty change state is assigned at the time of performing the effect execution determination and whether or not the variable state is assigned at the time. The number is different.

  That is, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 30, it is set when the non-probability change state is set rather than the number of effect execution determination values set in the probability change state. The number of production execution determination values to be performed is set to be larger. Moreover, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 30, the number of performance execution determination values set in the variable speed state is not in the variable speed state. It is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set to is larger. In the embodiment, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30, 35 performance execution determination values are obtained in the non-probable state and the non-variable state. One effect execution determination value is set in the case of the non-probability change state and the variable state, and two effect execution determination values are set in the case of the probability change state and the change state. In the case of the production execution determination that is performed when the pachinko ball is won at the first start winning opening 30, the production is performed according to the storage number of the first special figure start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60 c. The set number of execution determination values may be changed. Specifically, the set number can be set so that the set number of effect execution determination values decreases as the number of stored first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. That is, when the stored number of first special figure start hold information is “4”, the set number of production execution determination values is minimized.

  And in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31, the number of the performance execution determination values set in the variable speed state is in the non-variable state. Is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set in is smaller. In the embodiment, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball is won at the second start winning opening 31, five performance execution determination values are set in the non-probable change state and the variable state. In the case of the probability variation state and the variation state, one production execution determination value is set. In addition, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31, the performance execution determination value is set to 0 in the non-probable change state and the non-change variable state. In the case of the production execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31, the production is performed according to the number of second special figure start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60 c. The set number of execution determination values may be changed. Specifically, the set number can be set such that the set number of effect execution determination values decreases as the number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. That is, when the stored number of first special figure start hold information is “4”, the set number of production execution determination values is minimized.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns for specifying the fluctuation contents, and special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the special figure fluctuation patterns. Here, the special figure variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, which is executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the display of the fixed stop display. The basic contents of the light emission effect mode and the sound effect mode) are specified. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design fluctuation effect and special figure from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of fluctuation display) is specified. Special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern using the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined determination value is assigned to each special figure fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number is assigned is specified.

  The special figure fluctuation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b are classified into a special figure fluctuation pattern for winning and a special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment, and a specific figure fluctuation pattern is specified for each special figure fluctuation pattern according to the game effect mode. A special figure variation pattern distribution determination value is defined. The special figure variation pattern for winning is a special figure variation pattern that can be determined when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative or when the result of the small hit determination is affirmative. Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for loss is a special figure fluctuation pattern selected when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) is negative. In the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment, the reach reach variation pattern that can be determined when the result of the effect execution determination to be finally made a divergence after the reach effect is performed, and the reach are not formed. There is a deviation variation pattern that can be determined when the result of the effect execution determination as a deviation is negative. In the reach effect, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol that becomes the hit display (big hit display or the small hit display) or the off display after the symbol combination of the effective symbols that will be the reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17. This is an effect performed until is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described shortage state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the non-variable state (example). Is set more than 1). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur.

  In the main control ROM 60b, a plurality of types of common map variation patterns are stored, and general map variation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the respective general map variation patterns. Here, the general map variation pattern specifies the fluctuation time of the general map variation display from when the general diagram variation display is started until the fixed map is displayed in a fixed stop state. The normal variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining the general variation pattern by using the random number for distribution of the general variation pattern. It is determined from all 9 types of integers up to “8”. A predetermined decision value is assigned to each universal pattern variation pattern, and the universal map variation pattern to which the universal variation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the acquired random number for distribution of the common diagram variation is assigned is the main. It is specified by the control CPU 60a. Here, the decision value for determining the usual figure variation pattern is determined depending on whether the gaming state at the time of making the decision per ordinary figure is the variable state or the non-variable state, and the number and number of assigned common figure fluctuation patterns. Is different. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the non-variable short state, a common figure variation pattern determination determination value is assigned to one common figure variation pattern, and a regular time figure that defines a variation time (for example, 2000 ms) for a predetermined time. Whereas the variation pattern is determined, a decision value for determining the general variation pattern is assigned to multiple (two in the embodiment) general variation patterns in the variable state, and each normal variation pattern is assigned. Of a normal figure fluctuation pattern that defines a fluctuation time of a predetermined time (for example, 820 ms) and a different fluctuation time (for example, 200 ms) at a ratio according to the number of assigned decision values for determining the normal fluctuation pattern for One of the common map fluctuation patterns is determined.

The display control ROM 70b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the symbol display device 17. The display control ROM 70b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, the main control CPU 60a has a function as a random number acquisition means for acquiring various random numbers triggered by winning at the start winning ports 30, 31, and at the start of the symbol variation effect, the random number acquired by the random number acquisition means. By determining whether or not the value matches a predetermined hit determination value (big hit determination value or small hit determination value), whether or not a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is awarded A function as hit judging means for making a judgment is provided. Further, a hit determination means for determining whether or not a winning is made at the start winning opening 30 or 31, a hit game determination means for determining a type of a winning game to be given from a plurality of types of winning games (a hit determination means) And the main control CPU 60a has a function as a hit game giving means for giving the determined type of hit game after the special symbol change display is finished (after the symbol change effect is finished). The main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns (variation patterns) stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning at the start winning ports 30, 31. A function as a variation pattern determining means (variation pattern determining means) is provided. Further, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give a probability variation state (specific game state) in which the probability of occurrence of a hit (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is affirmative) is higher than usual ( It is configured to function as probability variation determining means (specific game state determination means) for determining (determining) and function as probability variation providing means for providing a probability variation state after the winning game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative).

  Further, the main control CPU 60a, when a win occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative), the winning rate improvement state in which the probability that the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31 becomes high ( It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination means for determining whether or not to give a (variable state), and when giving a winning rate improvement state, a winning rate improvement state granting period for determining a period for giving a winning rate improvement state is determined. In addition to functioning as a determining means, it also functions as a shortened state giving means for giving a shortened state only during a period in which a winning rate improvement state determined after the winning game is finished. Here, the main control CPU 60a waits for a predetermined number of special figure fluctuation displays (design fluctuation effects) to be executed after the winning game ends or until the next winning game is given. Is determined as a winning rate improvement state granting period. In this way, the main control CPU 60a, when the winning determination is affirmative, makes a privilege state (probability changing state, changing state) advantageous to the player after winning a game based on winning in the start winning ports 30, 31. It has a function as a privilege state determining means for determining whether to grant or not. The main control RAM 60c is acquired while the symbol variation effect is being performed on the symbol display device 17 (that is, while the special symbol variation display is being performed on the first and second special symbol display units 50A and 50B). It functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of received winning information as starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the symbol display device 17 or the first special symbol display unit 50A) is the first. Triggered by detection of the second start winning detection sensor 35 while the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and display means (the symbol display device 17 and the second special figure display unit 50B) stored as start hold information. It functions as a second hold storage means for storing the acquired winning information as second start hold information.

  Next, a special figure process and a special figure start process executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

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

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

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 35 corresponding to the second start winning opening 31 detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (random number for winning determination, random value for determining special figure, random value for determining execution execution, and various random values such as random number for distributing special pattern variation pattern). The control CPU 60a reads out and sets the winning information (random number value) as second special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is terminated.

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

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires the second special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, and then stores the second special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area. 2. The special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special figure. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the second special figure start hold information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure hold display section 53 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired value of the random number for hit determination in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not the big hit determination value matches (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is positive when the non-probability change state (low probability) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 168/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability (positive hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative is set to 1516/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit changes (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (special symbol 2), which becomes a big hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B, on the basis of the acquired value of the special symbol determination random number (step B24). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state to “1” after the end of the big hit game when the symbol pattern is a large bonus symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the main control CPU 60a The probability variation flag is set to “0”. Also, if the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a variable state, set the variable flag indicating the variable state to "1" after the jackpot game ends, and if the jackpot symbol does not give a variable state Set the variable flag to "0". The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. When the big hit symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special symbol variation pattern from the special symbol variation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for special symbol variation pattern distribution ( Step B25).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination of step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs a small hit determination (hit lottery) for determining whether or not to generate a small hit ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the winning determination random number obtained from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the small hit determination value. As described above, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative when winning information (random number for winning determination) is acquired in response to the detection of the second start winning detection sensor 35 (that is, the small hit probability). Is set to 1/65536. If the determination result of the small hit determination in step B27 is affirmative (if a small hit occurs), “1” is set to the small hit flag indicating that the small hit variation is present (step S27). B28). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the small hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B on the basis of the acquired special figure determining random number (Step 2). B29). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the small hit symbol of Special Figure 2, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired value of the special figure determination random number. By determining, the small hit symbol is determined. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are set to be maintained at the time of the small hit determination, and the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are not changed in the case of the small hit. It is configured. When the small winning symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects one of the special symbol variation patterns for winning (scoring variation pattern) based on the random number for special symbol variation pattern distribution. A special figure variation pattern is determined (step B30).

  When the determination result of the small hit determination in Step B27 is negative (that is, when the big hit and the small hit are not), the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination). (Step B31). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. When the determination result in step B31 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display unit 50B as a final stop symbol (special stop symbol). 2) (step B32). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for outlier reach (outlier reach fluctuation pattern) based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B33). ). Note that the reach effect is not limited to an effect in which two identical decorative drawings are arranged and the remaining one is changing, and includes a state in which a specific symbol change is performed.

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B31 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the error symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B34). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for deviation (outlier fluctuation pattern) based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B35).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 2) in steps B25, B30, B33 and B35 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing. (Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display unit 50B so as to start the second special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display contents of the display unit 50B are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether or not the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the hit determination random number, the value of the special figure determination random number, the value of the effect execution determination random number, and the value of the special figure variation pattern distribution random number (step B19), and then hits Execute the judgment process. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second start winning opening 31 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired with the winning of 30 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become.

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

  When various random numbers are acquired by the processing of step B19, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired hit determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B36). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is positive when the non-probability change state (low probability) (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 164/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability (positive hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative is set to 1516/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B36 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B37). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1), which is a big hit symbol displayed and stopped on the first special symbol display unit 50A, based on the acquired special figure determining random number (Step B38). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol for each special figure 1, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. The jackpot symbol is determined by determining. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets a game effect mode flag (that is, a probability change flag, a variable flag) indicating a game effect mode (game state) after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol. . When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution. (Step B39).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination of step B36 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs a small hit determination (win lottery) for determining whether or not to generate a small hit ( Step B41). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the winning determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the small hit determination value. As described above, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (that is, the small hit probability) when the winning information (random number for winning determination) is acquired triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34. Is set to 222/65536. If the determination result of the small hit determination in step B41 is affirmative (if a small hit occurs), “1” is set to the small hit flag indicating that the small hit variation (step S41). B42). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1), which becomes the small hit symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A, based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step 1). B43). Here, since the special figure determination random number value is associated with the small hit symbol of special figure 1 separately, the main control CPU 60a assigns the special figure determination random number value associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining FIG. 1, the small hit symbol is determined. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are set to be maintained at the time of the small hit determination, and the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are not changed in the case of the small hit. It is configured. When the small hit symbol (special diagram 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects one of the special symbol variation patterns for hitting (the hit variation pattern) based on the value of the special diagram variation pattern distribution random number. One special figure variation pattern is determined (step B44).

  When the determination result of the small hit determination in step B41 is negative (when it is not a big hit or a small hit), the main control CPU 60a determines whether to execute the reach effect (reach determination). (Step B45). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B45 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display unit 50A as a final stop symbol (special feature). 1) (step B46). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for outlier reach (outlier reach fluctuation pattern) based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B47). ).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B45 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a does not display the fixed symbol displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A. Is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) (step B48). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for deviation (outlier fluctuation pattern) based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B49).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 1) in steps B39, B44, B47, and B49 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing. (Step B40). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display unit 50A so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the designated special figure variation pattern. The display content of the display unit 50A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

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

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. When the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a receives each symbol row 26a, which is to be finally stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. The decorative drawings of 26b and 26c are determined. That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets each symbol row 26a, 26b, The decorative drawing of 26c is determined.

  The overall control CPU 65a sets the probability variation information flag and the variation information flag based on the special figure 1 designation command and the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a. Specifically, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation or special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the probability variation state is assigned, the probability variation information flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1”. ”And the probability variation information flag is set to“ 0 ”when the jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation state is not applied. In addition, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation or special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the variable state is given, the variable information flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”. ”And the variable information flag is set to“ 0 ”when it corresponds to a big hit symbol that does not give a variable state.

  Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. To do. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time when the special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and the left decoration at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of the left symbol row 26a. A figure designation command is output, a right decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the right design row 26c, and an interior decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the middle design row 26b.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. Further, the general control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing a detachment including a reach formation symbol when a special symbol variation pattern for losing reach production is instructed. On the other hand, the general control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment that does not include a reach formation symbol when a special-figure variation pattern for the detachment effect is instructed. Further, when the overall control CPU 65a inputs an all symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the command to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  The overall control CPU 65a includes the types of jackpot symbols instructed by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, each designation command relating to the start and end of the variable state, and an effect mode flag. Based on the set value, the type of the game effect mode is determined, and the effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined game effect mode. The game effect mode flag includes information that can identify the game effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 65c. When the overall control CPU 65a updates the game effect mode flag, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command instructing the game effect mode to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is input, the display control CPU 70a displays the ornament designated by the ornament designation command at the effective stop position 27 of the corresponding symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. Are temporarily stopped, and when all symbols stop command is input, the decorative symbols designated by the decorative symbol designation command are displayed on the symbol display device 17 at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled to end the symbol variation effect.

  Here, the contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17 are set according to a special symbol variation pattern designation command output from the main control CPU 60a or an effect pattern designation command output from the overall control CPU 65a. Thus, the main control CPU 60a and the overall control CPU 65a have a function as symbol variation effect determining means for determining the effect content specifying the content of the symbol variation effect.

  In this embodiment, a battle effect can be executed by the symbol display device 17 as a jackpot effect executed in the jackpot game. The battle effect is an effect in which the player-side character selected by the player and the enemy character battle each other. In this embodiment, as a result of the battle effect executed during the jackpot effect, the player By displaying the “Battle Victory” effect (notification effect, specific effect) in which the character on the side wins the enemy character, it is informed that the end of the jackpot game will be in a probabilistic state, and the player side By displaying the “Battle defeat” effect where the character is defeated by the enemy character, the game shifts to a latent mode (hidden state) where it is impossible to determine whether the probable state or the non-probable state is after the big hit game. It is comprised so that this may be notified. That is, in this embodiment, the battle effect is set as the promotion effect. Then, by performing the battle effect as the promotion effect, the player is given a sense of expectation as to whether or not the probability variation state is given until the development of the battle effect is finally derived. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether a battle victory effect or a battle defeat effect is given as a result of the battle effect when the determination result of whether or not to grant the probable change state after the end of the big hit game by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative. In addition to being configured to be executable, when the determination result of whether or not to assign a certain probability change state after the end of the big hit game of the main control CPU 60a is negative, the battle defeat effect is configured to be executable as a result of the battle effect. . The player-side character may hereinafter be referred to as “own character” and the enemy-side character may be referred to as “enemy character”. In addition, an effect (battle victory effect) for notifying that the end of the jackpot game is in a probable state may be referred to as a probable notification effect.

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, the overall control CPU 65a uses, as a physical strength point, the damage given when an attack hits the player character or enemy character in a battle effect executed on the image display surface 17a of the symbol display device 17. It is configured so that a “battle victory effect” and a “battle defeat effect” can be made possible when the physical strength point reaches a predetermined value (specific value). Specifically, as described later, when the character's health point is 0 points, the player's character is defeated, and when the enemy character's health point is 0 points, the player's character wins. The confirmation of the probability variation state can be notified.

(About the scenario)
In the present embodiment, when the jackpot determination is affirmative and the jackpot game is given when the pachinko ball wins the first and second start winning ports 30 and 31, the symbol display device during the jackpot game is given. The overall control of the scenario that defines the result of whether the player's own character ultimately wins or loses in the battle performance executed at 17 and the general development from when the battle performance is started until the result is displayed The CPU 65a is configured to determine by lottery from a plurality of types. Based on the determined scenario, the overall control CPU 65a can cause the symbol display device 17 to execute a battle effect across a plurality of round games during the big hit game. However, the scenario in this embodiment only defines the final result and the general development until the result is displayed, from the start of the battle production until the final result is displayed. The development of the battle effect during the period can change depending on whether or not the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, and the types of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b to be operated, as will be described later. It is configured as follows.

  In the present embodiment, four types of scenarios C1 to C4 are set (see FIG. 14), and these scenarios C1 to C4 are stored in the overall control ROM 65b. Scenarios C1 to C4 are set by the first type scenarios C3 and C4 in which only the basic scenario part is specified and the second type scenarios C1 and C2 in which the auxiliary scenario part is specified in addition to the basic scenario part. Has been. That is, in this embodiment, the development of the battle effect changes depending on whether or not the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b in the battle effect, and the type of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b to be operated. Therefore, in order to guarantee the case where it does not follow the development specified in the basic scenario part, the one with the auxiliary scenario part is set.

  Specifically, the first scenario C1 is a second type scenario, and the development contents that the player character can win in any of the battle blocks 1, 2, and 3 to be described later are specified in the basic scenario portion. In the case where the battle scenario is not developed as the result in the basic scenario part, in the auxiliary scenario part, if the battle blocks 1, 2, and 3 cannot be won, that is, if the game is defeated, the final round game ( In the embodiment, the player character is specified to be able to proceed to a development in which the player character can be restored at the 15th round game) or ending. The second scenario C2 is the second type scenario, which is defeated by the battle blocks 1, 2, and 3, and is based on the contents of the development where the player character is revived in the final round game (the 15th round game in the embodiment). Identified in the scenario part. Then, in the auxiliary scenario part when the battle effect does not develop as the result in the basic scenario part, it is specified that the player can proceed to the development that the character can revive by ending.

  The third scenario C3 is a first type scenario, and the basic scenario portion specifies the development contents that can be defeated in the battle blocks 1, 2, and 3 and that the character can be restored by ending. The fourth scenario C4 is a first type scenario, and the development contents to be defeated in the battle blocks 1, 2, and 3 are specified in the basic scenario portion.

  The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the type of scenario using a random number and a determination value stored in the overall control ROM 65b. In this embodiment, 251 integer values are set as random numbers, and the overall control CPU 65a updates the random numbers one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms), and temporarily stores the updated value in the overall control RAM 65c. It is configured to store and rewrite the value before update. FIG. 14 shows scenario C1 when the types of jackpot symbols determined when winning the jackpot determination are symbols A and E of special figure 1 and symbols a, b, c, d and e of special figure 2. The scenario lottery table T1 used when ˜C4 is determined by lottery is shown, and the scenario lottery table T1 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b. As shown in FIG. 14, in the scenario lottery table T1, when the jackpot symbol is symbol A, a, there are 251 types of random numbers that can be selected from the first to fourth scenarios C1 to C4. The pricing is distributed to the first to fourth scenarios C1 to C4. Then, if the designation command corresponding to symbol A or symbol a is input from the main control CPU 60a in the case of an affirmative determination in the big hit determination, the overall control CPU 65a acquires a random number and uses the acquired random value as a scenario The scenario type is determined in comparison with the determination value set in the lottery table T1. On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol is symbol E, b, c, d, e, the determination value is distributed only to the fourth scenario C4 so that only the fourth scenario C4 is selected.

  In this embodiment, one scenario is determined by lottery from the first to fourth scenarios C1 to C4. However, a specific scenario may be determined under specific conditions. For example, the type of jackpot symbol determined when winning the jackpot determination for which the scenario is to be determined is the symbol A of FIG. 1 or the symbol a of FIG. As the second start-up holding ball), when there is a hit with the symbol a in FIG. 1, the first scenario C1 can be determined by lottery.

In the symbol variation effect during the high-speed fluctuating game state, the player character is selected for the battle effect, and the player can select the player character by operating the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b. ing. The player can select one player from a plurality of characters (four in the embodiment). In other words, at the timing when the selection effect of the own character is executed, the overall control CPU 65a sets the operation effective period (time) for selecting the own character in which the operation (pressing) of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b is made effective. An operation valid command is set to be output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation effective command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the content of the effect corresponding to the operation effective effect for selecting the own character specified by the command. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to display the effect content corresponding to the operation effective effect for selection. In the present embodiment, images of four characters that can be selected by the player are displayed on the symbol display device 17, and images of three operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are displayed, and second operation buttons 37a, 37b are displayed. By moving the cursor or the like to select a character displayed on the symbol display device 17, the overall control CPU 65a can determine the character as the own character by operating (pressing) the first operation button 36. . When the player character selection operation validity period has elapsed without the player operating the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b in the player character selection, the overall control CPU 65a sets the player character as the player character. Is configured to be determined as As in this embodiment, when the effect of selecting the player character of the battle effect to be executed in the jackpot game is performed during the symbol variation effect, the effect of selecting the player character of the battle effect in the jackpot game is omitted. It is possible to perform other effects accordingly, so the range of effects in the big hit game can be expanded.

  In this embodiment, the enemy character selection effect is performed at the opening of the big hit game, and the player can select one enemy character from among a plurality of enemy characters by operating the operation button 36. (See FIG. 29). That is, at the timing when the enemy character selection effect is executed, the overall control CPU 65a sets an enemy character selection operation valid period (time) during which the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36 is valid, and the overall control. An operation valid command is set to be output from the CPU 65a to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation effective command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the content of the effect corresponding to the enemy character selection operation effective effect specified by the command, and the enemy character is selected. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to display the effect content corresponding to the operation effective effect for selection. In the present embodiment, a roulette image in which images of seven characters that can be determined by the player are arranged in a circle is displayed on the symbol display device 17, and an image of the first operation button 36 is displayed to rotate the roulette. When the image is stopped based on the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36, the overall control CPU 65a determines the character stopped at the support position as the enemy character. When the enemy character selection operation valid period has passed without the player operating the first operation button 36 in the enemy character selection, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the enemy character by lottery from seven characters. Has been.

  In this embodiment, the special character appears when the enemy character wins all the enemy characters (7) in the battle production, and the big hit is obtained by winning the battle with the special enemy character. A premium effect is configured to be executed at the ending in the game. Further, the production contents are set to be different for each enemy character, so that the player can enjoy different productions every time the enemy character is won. It should be noted that, when the enemy characters are drawn, the enemy characters that have already been defeated are set to be excluded from the choices.

  The battle effect is a selection effect in which the player character selects an attack type that the player character and the enemy character first face in the state in which the player character and the enemy character face each other. A battle block (see Fig. 9 (a)) that can be executed at least once, with a unit of battle direction (see Fig. 9 (b)) consisting of an attack direction in which the enemy launches an attack. It is configured to be executed multiple times during a game. In the embodiment, one battle block is configured to be executable during a round game for four rounds, and three battle blocks are set to be executable during a single jackpot game. In the embodiment, it is configured so that three battle blocks are executed between 1 round and 14 rounds, and those battle blocks that are executed in a round game between 1 round and 4 rounds are played. When the block 1 is designated, the game executed in the round game from the 6th round to the 10th round is designated as the battle block 2, and the game executed in the round game from the 11th round to the 14th round is designated as the battle block 3 There is. In the round game (5 rounds, 10 rounds) between the battle blocks, the player character and the enemy character are set to perform question and answer effects.

(About the selection effect in the battle effect)
The overall control CPU 65a validates the operation (pressing) of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b in accordance with the timing (first round, sixth round, eleventh round) at which the selection effect in each battle block is started. The battle operation effective period (time) is set, and an operation valid command is set to be output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation effective command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the content of the effect corresponding to the operation effective effect specified by the command, and corresponds to the operation effective effect. The symbol display device 17 is controlled to display the contents of the effect. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, images of three types of operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are displayed on the symbol display device 17, and the type of attack is determined by the operation (pressing) of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b. It is suggested that it can be selected. The operation valid command output from the overall control CPU 65a is input to the lamp control board 72, and the lamp control board 72 is controlled to turn on the built-in lamp devices in the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b. The player can be notified that the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b can be operated.

  Here, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to set a battle operation valid period each time one battle effect is completed, and the number of battle effects executed during one battle block is: It can be changed according to the progress of the battle performance. That is, the timing at which the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b in the selection effect and the specific content of the attack determined by the operation (pressing) of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b will be described later. It is comprised so that it may change with the length etc. of the production performed based on a battle production pattern. In this embodiment, the period for four round games in which each battle block can be executed is an operation effect executable period in which physical strength ponits (effect values) of point storage units (effect value management means) 75 and 76 described later can be changed. (Period) is set, and a plurality of battle operation valid periods can be set during this period.

(About the type of attack selected by the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b)
As the types of attacks that can be selected by the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b during the selection effect, the weak attack that is determined when the first operation button 36 is operated (pressed) and the second operation button 37a is operated (pressed). A medium attack determined when the second operation button 37b is operated (pressed) and a strong attack determined when the second operation button 37b is operated are set. The weak attack, medium attack, and strong attack have different values for subtracting the opponent character's health points, which will be described later, when the attack pattern is determined as a battle effect pattern, which will be described later (the attack hits the opponent character). As set in the physical strength point table T16 shown in FIG. 12, the subtraction value when the weak attack is successful is set to 20 points, and the subtraction value when the medium attack is successful is 40. When the strong attack is successful, the subtraction value is set to 80 points. In addition, when each operation button 36, 37a, 37b is operated (pressed), the probability of determining a battle effect pattern in which an attack is successful is an effect pattern to be described later so that weak attack> medium attack> strong attack. Distribution of judgment values in the lottery table is set. That is, a weak attack (attack by the operation of the first operation button 36) is easy to succeed, but a subtraction value (damage to the opponent character on the screen) for subtracting the health point of the opponent character is small, and a strong attack ( The attack by the operation of the second operation button 37b) has a low probability of a successful attack, but the subtraction value (damage to the opponent character on the screen) for subtracting the health point of the opponent character is large and the medium attack (second operation) For the attack by the operation of the button 37a, the probability of successful attack and the subtraction value (damage to the opponent character on the screen) for subtracting the opponent character's health points are set between the weak attack and the strong attack . As described above, in this embodiment, the attack type (types of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b) is set so as to correspond to the subtraction value (the amount of change in the effect value) for subtracting the physical strength point of the opponent character. Yes. That is, the subtraction value when the physical strength points are subtracted in point storage units (production value management means) 75 and 76, which will be described later, is the change amount of the production value, and the subtraction value (20 points, 40 points, 80 points). Is set as the type of attack (weak attack, medium attack, strong attack), and there are a plurality of types of attacks that can be selected depending on the types of operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b operated (pressed). It is provided. Regarding the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, the first operation button 36 is hereinafter referred to as the weak operation button 36 and the second operation button 37a is referred to as the middle operation button 37a in accordance with the type of attack selected. The second operation button 37b may be referred to as a strong operation button 37b.

  Here, a plurality of types such as “punch”, “kick”, and “throw technique” are included in the overall control as specific images displayed on the symbol display device 17 for each of the weak attack, the medium attack, and the strong attack. It is stored in the ROM 65b. When the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are operated (pressed), the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control command corresponding to the type of attack determined by lottery to the display control board 70, and the control command is input. The display control CPU 70a selects display data corresponding to each of the weak, medium, and strong attacks, and displays the effect contents corresponding to the display data on the symbol display device 17. In the physical strength point table (second effect value information table) T16, a physical strength point subtraction value is set for each type (operation type) of the operation buttons 36, 37a and 37b. Whether the subject to be subtracted is the physical strength point of the own character or the enemy character is determined in accordance with the type of effect pattern determined by lottery of various effect patterns to be described later.

(Battle production pattern)
A plurality of types of battle effect patterns that specify the specific contents of the attack effect in the battle effect are set, and these battle effect patterns are stored in the overall control ROM 65b. The battle effect pattern includes a plurality of types that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b during the selection effect period of the battle effect (during the battle operation effective period). The overall control CPU 65a is determined when the player does not operate (press) the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b during the operation battle effect pattern (operation effect pattern) and during the selection effect period (while the battle operation is valid). A plurality of possible non-operation battle production patterns are set. In the present embodiment, seven types (see FIGS. 15 to 20) of first to seventh operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 are set as the operation battle effect pattern, and the first as the non-operation battle effect pattern. Three types of third non-operational battle effect patterns NBT1 to NBT3 (see FIGS. 21 and 22) are set. In other words, in this embodiment, when the overall control CPU 65a determines that the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are operated (pressed) during the battle operation valid period (first valid period), the overall control CPU 65a determines. The attack effect specified by the possible operation battle effect pattern is set as the first effect, and the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are operated (pressed) during the battle operation effective period (first effective period). When the overall control CPU 65a determines that there is no attack effect specified by the non-operation battle effect pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a, the attack effect is set as the second effect.

(About the battle production pattern for operation)
Next, specific production contents specified by the operation battle production pattern will be described. The first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is set with the content of a success effect (first effect, second normal effect) in which the attack of the player character hits the enemy character, and the second operation battle effect pattern BT2 is The content of the failure production (second type production) in which the attack of the own character is guarded by the enemy character is set. Also, the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4 is a counterattack effect in which the enemy character's counter (attack) hits the own character without hitting the enemy character (type 2 effect, first normal The fifth operation battle effect pattern BT5 is a failure effect (first character) where the own character guards the counter (attack) from the enemy character without the enemy character hitting the enemy character. The contents of (2 types of production) are set. Note that, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the first operation battle effect pattern BT1, a continuous slash effect or a follow-up effect, which will be described later, can be executed by another lottery.

  In the third operation battle effect pattern BT3, the content of the victory effect in which the player character wins when the attack of the player character hits the enemy character is set. In the sixth operation battle effect pattern BT6, the attack effect of the player character is set. On the contrary, the content of the defeat production (second type production) in which the enemy character's counter (attack) hits the own character and the own character loses without hitting the enemy character is set. The seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7 is set with the contents of the victory effect that the player character sends out a secret to be described later as the type of attack, and the secret hits the enemy character and the player character wins. That is, in the present embodiment, when the third operation battle effect pattern BT3, the sixth operation battle effect pattern BT6, and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7 are determined, the overall control CPU 65a performs a successful attack. Is set as an effect pattern for having a match that can make a physical strength point stored in point storage units 75 and 76, which will be described later, of the opponent character (your character or enemy character) 0 points. Specifically, when the production patterns BT3, BT6, and BT7 are determined, the overall control CPU 65a sets the physical strength points stored in the point storage units 75 and 76 corresponding to the character on the attack side to 0 points. The display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a) to which the command with game is input is displayed, and the display of the physical strength meters 78 and 79 (described later) of the opponent character (your character or enemy character) is 0. It is configured to control the symbol display device 17 to be a point.

  In contrast, the first operation battle effect pattern BT1, the second operation battle effect pattern BT2, the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4, and the fifth operation battle effect pattern BT5 are the effect patterns BT1, BT2, BT4. , BT5 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a is set not to output a command with a match. In this embodiment, even if the physical strength points stored in the point storage portions 75 and 76 of the opponent character (your character or enemy character) are 0 points or less due to a successful attack, When the production patterns BT1, BT2, BT4, and BT5 not to be issued have been determined, the overall control CPU 65a is set so as to hold the physical strength points stored in the corresponding point storage units 75 and 76 at 10 points (threshold). Is done. That is, if the overall control CPU 65a does not execute a battle victory effect that notifies the possibility that a probable change state is given after the end of the jackpot game, the physical strength point (effect value) of the second point storage unit 76 is 10 points ( The threshold is set so as not to approach 0 points (specific value), which is a condition that a battle victory effect can be executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is set as an additional effect pattern that can execute the follow-up effect or the continuous slash effect by another lottery as described above. The battle effect patterns BT2, BT3, BT4, BT5, BT6, and BT7 are set as non-addition effect patterns in which a follow-up effect or a continuous slash effect cannot be selected by another lottery.

It is set as a different production.

(About point storage units 75, 76, 77)
The overall control RAM 65c is provided with a plurality of effect value storage units (effect value management means) for storing the effect values (physical strength points) in a rewritable manner. In this embodiment, a first point storage unit (second effect value management means) 75 that stores physical strength points (production value information) corresponding to the player character, and a second point that stores physical strength points corresponding to the enemy character. A storage unit 76 and a third point storage unit (production value management means) 77 for storing an anger point (another production value information) as a production value corresponding to the damage received by the player character are provided (see FIG. 11). Depending on the type of operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b operated in the battle effect (selective effect) and the type of attack executed on the symbol display device 17 (follow-up, continuous slash, mystery), the overall control CPU 65a The points stored (managed) in the storage units 75, 76, 77 are configured to change.

  A predetermined initial value is set in the first point storage unit 75 in advance, and when the enemy character hits his character, the type of attack (specifically, the operation buttons 36, 37a, The overall control CPU 65a updates the preset points (“20”, “40”, “80”) by subtracting them from the initial values (see FIG. 12). In addition, a predetermined initial value is set in advance in the second point storage unit 76, and when the attack of the player character hits an enemy character, the type of attack hit (specifically, the operation buttons 36, 37a). , 37b), the overall control CPU 65a updates the preset points (“20”, “40”, “80”) by subtracting them from the initial values (see FIG. 12). On the other hand, a predetermined initial value is set in advance in the third point storage unit 77, and when the enemy character hits his character, the type of attack hit (specifically, the operation button 36). , 37a, 37b), and the central control CPU 65a updates the point set in advance by adding it to the initial value (see FIG. 13).

  In the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76, 200 points are set as initial values of physical strength points, and every time an attack hits, a predetermined point is subtracted from 200 points, and finally 0 When it becomes a point, it is configured to be able to execute an effect in which the player character wins or loses. In addition, the third point storage unit 77 is set to 0 points as the initial value of the anger point, and is added by a predetermined point every time the attack hits the player character. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to determine a mystery effect pattern, and an effect in which the player character performs a mystery that is an effect based on this mystery effect pattern is configured to be executable. In the embodiment, 30 points are set as the prescribed value, but the regulation value is not limited to 30 points. In this embodiment, when the enemy character's physical strength point is 0 point, and when the anger point is 30 points (MAX), the player character wins, and the determination of the certain change state can be notified by the player character's victory. The physical strength point and the anger point are effect values related to whether or not to perform a notification effect (probability change notification effect) for notifying the game state after the winning game ends.

  That is, 20 points, 40 points, and 80 points, which are subtraction values set according to the types of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, are used as initial values of the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76, respectively. It is set smaller than the difference between the set 200 points and 0 point, which is a specific value as a condition for executing the notification effect (probability change notification effect). Further, the same type of 20 points which is a subtraction value corresponding to the weak operation button 36, 40 points which is a subtraction value corresponding to the middle operation button 37a and 80 points which are subtraction values corresponding to the strong operation button 37b. When the objects are selected successively, the number of selections from the initial value of 200 points which are the initial values of the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76 to 0 points is set to be different. For example, in order to change the physical strength points of the point storage units 75 and 76 from 200 points to 0 points, the weak operation button (weak attack) 36 requires 10 consecutive operations, whereas the strong operation button (Strong attack) If it is 37b, it is sufficient to operate three consecutively.

  In the present embodiment, the physical strength points stored in the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76 are not only when an attack hits, but also a strong attack of one character (your character or enemy character) 10 points are also set to be subtracted when the opponent character (enemy character or own character) guards (attack when operating the strong operation button 37b). The physical strength points stored in the first point storage unit 75 are determined not only by the type of attack set corresponding to the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, but also by the special attacks such as follow-up, continuous slash, and mystery. The point value to be subtracted is set differently. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, 30 points are subtracted in the case of pursuit, and 6 points are obtained in the case of continuous cutting (when the first to twelfth continuous cutting effect patterns SC1 to SC12 are determined). In the case where the 13th consecutive cutting effect pattern SC13 is determined or in the secret, the stamina point is set to 0 point unconditionally. Here, the pursuit, the continuous slash, and the mystery are all effects that can be determined by the display control CPU 70a only when the player character attacks. As described above, the mystery is an effect configured so that the overall control CPU 65a can determine when an effect pattern for a game is determined, and the physical strength point and the anger point are set in advance (subtracted). (The value or the added value) is set as an effect different from the first normal effect and the second normal effect.

(About anger points)
Regarding the anger point, based on the anger point table (first effect value information table) T17 shown in FIG. 13, the type of attack (specifically, the type of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b) hit by the player character is determined. The added value of the corresponding anger point is set to be added to the anger point stored in the third point storage unit 77. That is, when an enemy character's weak attack (attack when the weak operation button 36 is operated) hits his character, 2 points are added, and the enemy character's medium attack (attack when the middle operation button 37a is operated) 3 points are added when the player hits the player character, and 6 points are added when the enemy character's strong attack (attack when operating the strong operation button 37b) hits the player character. Also, it is set so that one point is added when the enemy character guards against a strong attack of the enemy character (attack when operating the strong operation button 37b).

  Here, the overall control CPU 65a is set to output an anger production command when the anger point stored in the third point storage unit 77 reaches 30 points (MAX), and the anger production command is input. The displayed display control board 70 is set so that an image based on a preset effect pattern is displayed on the symbol display device 17. However, in this embodiment, as the output condition of the anger production command, the first scenario C1 is determined as the scenario, the anger point rises to 30 points, and the physical character has a physical strength point other than 200 points. Thus, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to perform a lottery to determine whether or not to output an anger production command. The probability of outputting this anger production command is set to 1/5. That is, even if the anger point rises to 30 points, the anger production command is not output, and the mysterious production may not be executed on the symbol display device 17. In addition, when the anger point rises to 30 points and the lottery for whether or not to output the anger production command is won, the overall control CPU 65a sets the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76 to 0 points. Configured to change to

(About physical strength meters 78 and 79)
In the present embodiment, the first physical strength meter that displays the point corresponding to the value of the physical strength point stored in the first point storage unit 75 on the image display surface 17a of the symbol display device 17 at the time of the battle effect. (Variable display means, second effect value information display means) 78 and a second physical strength meter (variable display means) 79 for displaying points corresponding to the values of the physical strength points stored in the second point storage section 76. Thus, the display control CPU 70 a is configured to control the symbol display device 17. FIG. 10 schematically shows an image in which a battle effect is displayed. In the center area of the screen, an image in which the player character and the enemy character are divided into left and right faces each other is located on the left side. A horizontally long first strength meter 78 is displayed above the player character, and a horizontally long second strength meter 79 is displayed above the enemy character located on the right side. When both of the first physical strength meter 78 and the second physical strength meter 79 have a physical strength point of MAX, the entire meter is lit up and lit corresponding to a subtraction value that decreases as the physical strength point decreases. It is comprised so that the change of a physical strength point can be expressed in the aspect which reduces an area | region in steps. That is, if the subtraction value of the physical strength point is 20 points, the lighting area for 20 points is turned off, and if the subtraction value of the physical fitness point is 80 points, the lighting area for 80 points is turned off. .

  Here, the first physical strength meter 78 and the second physical strength meter 79 indicate the expectation level corresponding to the effect value related to whether or not to execute the notification effect to notify the gaming state after the end of the big hit game in the display state. The display state of the physical strength meters 78, 79 can be displayed by a change, and the physical strength points of the corresponding point storage units 75, 76 are 0 points, that is, a specific display corresponding to a numerical value capable of executing the notification effect The overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to execute a notification effect on condition that the state (display state in which all the lighting areas are turned off) is entered. The display state of the physical strength meters 78 and 79 is configured to change in accordance with the amount of change (subtraction value) of the physical strength points of the corresponding point storage units 75 and 76, and as described above, the subtraction value of the physical strength points. Corresponds to 20 points, 40 points, and 80 points, the display state of the physical strength meters 78 and 79 also changes gradually from the initial display state to a specific display state. .

  Here, the overall control CPU 65a is an effective period setting means for setting the effective period of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b when the various effect patterns are drawn, and whether or not the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are operated during the effective period. It is configured to function as an operation determination means for determining whether or not. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a has a plurality of effect patterns (when the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are operated (pressed) during the effective period and when the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are not operated (pressed)). The effect determining means, the operation effect pattern determining means, the change mode determining means, and the determined effect pattern (normal effect) are determined using a lottery table corresponding to one effect pattern (ordinary effect) from among the normal effects). It has a function as an effect execution control means to be executed by the display device 17. Furthermore, a function as a specific effect determination means for determining whether or not to execute a battle victory effect (probability change notification effect) based on the information acquired at the time of winning a pachinko ball in the start winning opening (starting winning means) 30, 31 Is included in the overall control CPU 65a.

  In addition, when the overall control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern (first normal effect) in which the enemy character hits the player character, the function as an effect value management means capable of updating the anger point as another effect value information. Are included in the overall control CPU 65a and the overall control RAM 65c (the third point storage unit 77). Then, an effect pattern (first normal effect) in which the attack of the enemy character hits the player character is executed by the symbol display device 17, whereby the anger point (updated in the overall control RAM 65c (third point storage unit 77)) The symbol display device 17 has a function as effect value information display means for displaying a form (anger meter 80) based on another effect value information).

  Furthermore, when the overall control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern (second normal effect) in which the attack of the own character hits the enemy character, the second strength value that can update the enemy character's physical strength points as the second effect value information. The overall control CPU 65a and the overall control RAM 65c (second point storage unit 76) have functions as effect value management means. Then, the effect display pattern (second normal effect) in which the attack of the player character hits the enemy character is executed by the symbol display device 17, so that the physical strength points updated in the overall control RAM 65 c (second point storage unit 76) The symbol display device 17 has a function as second effect value information display means for displaying a form (second physical strength meter 79) based on the second effect value information). In addition, when the overall control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern (first normal effect) in which the enemy character hits the player character, the third effect value information that can update the physical strength point of the player character is the third effect value information. The overall control CPU 65a and the overall control RAM 65c (first point storage unit 75) have a function as effect value management means. Furthermore, the symbol display device 17 executes an effect pattern (first normal effect) in which the enemy character's attack hits his / her character by the symbol display device 17, whereby the overall control RAM 65 c (first point storage unit 75). The symbol display device 17 has a function as a third effect value information display means for displaying a form (first physical strength meter 78) based on the physical strength point (third effect value information) updated in (1). In other words, the overall control CPU 65a uses the operation buttons 36 and 37a to display the effect values (the physical strength points of the player character and the physical strength points of the enemy character) related to whether or not to execute the notification effect that notifies the gaming state after the end of the big hit game. , 37b has a function as a plurality of effect value management means that can be changed according to the type of operation (pressed), and the symbol display device (symbol display means) 17 stores the first character's physical strength points. A plurality of variable display means (first display) whose display is changed in accordance with changes in the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76 that stores the physical strength points stored in the point storage unit 75 and the physical strength points of the enemy character. It functions as a 1 physical strength meter 78 and a second physical strength meter 79).

(About point patterns)
In the present embodiment, the production pattern BT1 set in each of the lottery tables T2 to T15 according to the mutual relationship between the physical strength points stored in the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76. BT7, NBT1 to NBT3 (weak, medium, strong) and production patterns CT1 to CT6, RB1 to RB3, SC1 to SC13 are set to have different selection ratios. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types (49 types in the embodiment) of point patterns (effect value patterns) LP1 to LP49 in which the interrelationships of the physical strength points of both the point storage units 75 and 76 are patterned are provided. Patterns LP1 to LP49 are stored in the overall control ROM (storage means) 65b. The point patterns LP1 to LP49 are set so that the selection ratios of the effect patterns BT1 to BT7, NBT1 to NBT3 (weak, medium, strong) and the effect patterns CT1 to CT6, RB1 to RB3, SC1 to SC13 are different. (See FIGS. 15 to 28).

  As shown in FIG. 15, the specific relationship between the physical strength points from the first point pattern LP1 to the 49th point pattern LP49 is as follows. In the first point pattern LP1, the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 is 200 points. The second point storage unit 76 has a physical strength point of 200 points. In the second point pattern LP2, the first point storage unit 75 has a physical strength point of 200 points, and the second point storage unit 76 has a physical strength point of 199- 160 points, and in the third point pattern LP3, the strength points of the first point storage unit 75 are set to 200 points with respect to the strength points of the second point storage unit 75, and the fourth point pattern LP4 Then the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 is The physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 is set to 119 to 80 points with respect to 00 points, and in the fifth point pattern LP5, the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 is set to 200 points with respect to the second point storage unit 76. Are set to 79 to 40 points, and in the sixth point pattern LP6, the first point storage unit 75 has 200 points and the second point storage unit 76 has 39 points to 39 to 11 points. In the seventh point pattern LP7, the health point of the second point storage unit 76 is set to 10 points with respect to the health point of the first point storage unit 75 of 200 points.

  The eighth point pattern LP8 to the fourteenth point pattern LP14, the fifteenth point pattern LP15 to the twenty-first point pattern LP21, the twenty-second point pattern LP22 to the twenty-eighth point pattern LP28, and the twenty-ninth point pattern LP29 to For each of the division of the 35th point pattern LP35, the division of the 36th point pattern LP36 to the 42nd point pattern LP42, and the division of the 43rd point pattern LP43 to the 49th point pattern LP49, the first point storage unit 75 for each division. Are set to 199 to 160 points, 159 to 120 points, 119 to 80 points, 79 to 40 points, 39 to 11 points, and 10 points, respectively, whereas the second point storage unit 76 has physical strength points Into is set similarly to the first point pattern LP1~ seventh Pattern LP7 in common in each classification.

(Relationship between point pattern and judgment value distribution)
Next, the distribution of the point pattern and the determination value will be described in comparison with the type of attack (type of operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b).

  From the first point pattern LP1 to the 49th point pattern LP49, the number of determination values assigned to the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 in the weak operation victory lottery table T2, the middle operation victory lottery table T4, and the strong operation victory lottery table T6. As a whole, weak operation victory lottery table T2> medium operation victory lottery table T4> strong operation victory lottery table T6 is set. Further, the number of determination values assigned to the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 in the weak operation defeat lottery table T3, the middle operation defeat lottery table T5, and the strong operation defeat lottery table T7 is set to the first point pattern LP1 to the 49th point pattern LP49. Comparing all of the above, weak operation defeat lottery table T3> medium operation defeat lottery table T5> strong operation defeat lottery table T7 is set. That is, the probability of successful attack when the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are operated (pressed) is weak operation button 36> medium operation button 37a> strong operation button 37b.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, when the weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed), the probability that a weak attack will succeed (the probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 will be determined) is Judgment values are distributed so as to increase as the character's point pattern decreases. Further, between the 36th point pattern LP36 to the 49th point pattern LP49 where the physical strength points of the player character are set to 39 to 10 points, the probability that a weak attack will succeed when the weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed) ( The probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) is the probability that the middle attack will succeed when the middle operation button 37a is operated (pressed) (the probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) and Compared to the probability of a successful strong attack when the strong operation button 37b is operated (pressed) (probability of determining the first operation battle effect pattern BT1), the case of other point patterns LP1 to LP35. The determination value is distributed so as to be higher. That is, the weak operation button 36 is set as a button that is more advantageous (the attack is likely to succeed) than the middle operation button 37a and the strong operation button 37b when the physical strength point of the player character is low.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the probability that the middle attack is successful when the middle operation button 37a is operated (pressed) (the probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) is the physical strength of the player character. The first point pattern LP1 to the fifth point pattern LP5 in which the points are set to 200 points, and the 36th point pattern LP36 to the 40th point patterns LP40 and the 43rd point in which the physical strength points of the player character are set to 39 points to 10 points. Between the pattern LP43 and the 47th point pattern LP47, when the weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed), the probability that the weak attack is successful (the probability that the first operational battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) is lower. Judgment values are distributed. In contrast, the 8th point pattern LP8 to the 12th point pattern LP12, the 15th point pattern LP15 to the 19th point pattern LP19, the 22nd point pattern LP22 to the 26th point, in which the physical character's physical strength point is set to 199 to 40 points. Between the point pattern LP26 and the 29th point pattern LP29 to the 33rd point pattern LP33, the probability that a weak attack will succeed when the weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed) (the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined). When the middle operation button 37a is operated (pressed), the determination value is distributed so that the probability that the middle attack is successful (the probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) is higher. . In other words, the probability that the attack will succeed when the middle operation button 37a and the weak operation button 36 are operated is not always lower when the middle operation button 37a is operated, but is set differently depending on the point pattern classification. Thus, when the player selects the type of operation button, it is possible to suppress the selection button from being biased.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 20, when the strong operation button 37 b is operated (pressed), the probability that the strong attack is successful (the probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT <b> 1 is determined) is the point pattern LP <b> 1 to LP1. The probability that a weak attack succeeds (probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) and the middle operation button 37a are operated (pressed) when the weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed) in the entire space between LP49 In this case, the probability that the middle attack is successful (the probability that the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined) is not set lower, but the probability that the attack succeeds in a specific point pattern (LP1 to LP4) The determination value is distributed so as to be highest when the strong operation button 37b is operated (pressed). That is, when the strong operation button 37b and the other operation buttons 36 and 37a are operated, the probability of success of the attack is not always lower when the strong operation button 37b is operated. Since they are different, it is possible to further suppress the selection button from being biased when the player selects the type of operation button.

  Next, a weak operation defeat lottery table T3, a medium operation defeat lottery table T5, and a strong operation defeat lottery table T7 used when the player character loses as a result of the battle effect, that is, when the probability change notification effect (notification effect) is not performed. The relationship between the distribution of the point pattern and the determination value will be described.

  In the weak operation defeat lottery table T3 shown in FIG. 16, in the case of the point patterns LP7, LP14, LP21, LP28, LP35, LP42, LP49 in which the enemy character's physical strength points are set to 10 points, the battle performance pattern for the first operation No determination value is assigned to BT1, and the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is not selected. That is, when a weak attack (attack when the weak operation button 36 is operated) succeeds, the enemy character's health point subtraction value is set to 20 points, so if the probability change notification effect should not be executed, The first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is selected, and the enemy character's health points are set to 0 points or less so that the player character does not win. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring between the results of the battle performance.

  In the weak operation defeat lottery table T3 shown in FIG. 16, when the enemy character has 39 to 11 health points (LP6, LP13, LP20, LP27, LP34, LP41, LP48), the battle effect pattern for the first operation Although the determination value is allocated to BT1, the determination value is not allocated to the third operation battle effect pattern BT3 and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7, which are the effect patterns for the game where the player character wins. That is, as described above, in this embodiment, when the first control battle effect pattern BT1 other than the game effect patterns BT3 and BT7 for which the overall control CPU 65a outputs a command with a game is determined, the enemy is successfully attacked. Even when the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 for storing the physical strength point of the character is 10 or less, it is set to be held at 10 points. Therefore, even if the enemy character has 39 to 11 health points (LP6, LP13, LP20, LP27, LP34, LP41, LP48) and the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is selected, The physical strength point of the 2-point storage unit 76 is not 0 points, and the effect that the player character wins (probability notification effect) is not executed.

  Also, in the middle operation defeat lottery table T5 shown in FIG. 18, the enemy character's health point is a subtraction value of the enemy character's health point when the middle attack (attack when the middle operation button 37a is operated) is successful. In the point pattern LP6, LP7, LP13, LP14, LP20, LP21, LP27, LP28, LP34, LP35, LP41, LP42, LP48, LP49 set to a value smaller than 40 points (39 points to 10 points) No determination value is assigned to the battle effect pattern BT1. Similarly, in the strong operation defeat lottery table T7 shown in FIG. 20, the enemy character's health point is the subtraction value of the enemy character's health point when a strong attack (attack when operating the strong operation button 37b) is successful. Point pattern LP5, LP6, LP7, LP12, LP13, LP14, LP19, LP20, LP21, LP26, LP27, LP28, LP33, LP34, LP35, LP40 set to a value smaller than 80 points (79 points to 10 points) , LP41, LP42, LP47, LP48, LP49, no determination value is assigned to the first operational battle effect pattern BT1. That is, when the probability change notification effect is not to be executed, even if the middle operation button 37a or the strong operation button 37b is operated, the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is not selected, and the player character wins. It is set so as not to occur, and it is possible to prevent a wrinkle from occurring between the result set in the scenario and the result of the battle effect.

  Here, in the point pattern LP5, LP12, LP19, LP26, LP33, LP40, LP47 in which the enemy character's physical strength points are set to 79 to 40 points in the middle operation defeat lottery table T5, the first operation battle effect pattern BT1. Although the determination value is distributed to the third operation battle effect pattern BT3 and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7, which are the effect patterns for the game with which the player character wins, the determination value is not distributed. In the strong operation defeat lottery table T7, the point patterns LP4, LP11, LP18, LP25, LP32, LP39, and LP46 in which the enemy character's physical strength points are set to 119 to 80 points are changed to the first operation battle effect pattern BT1. Although the determination value is distributed, the determination value is not distributed to the third operation battle effect pattern BT3 and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7, which are the effect patterns for the game with which the player character wins. That is, when the enemy character has 79 to 40 health points (LP5, LP12, LP19, LP26, LP33, LP40, LP47) and the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is selected by operating the middle operation button 37a. When the enemy character's health point is 119-80 points (LP4, LP11, LP18, LP25, LP32, LP39, LP46), and the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is selected by operating the strong operation button 37b As described above, the overall control CPU 65a maintains the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 that stores the physical strength point of the enemy character at the time of a successful attack, so that the player character wins (probability notification effect). ) Is never executed.

(Relationship between counter production and point pattern)
Next, when the own character loses as a result of the battle effect, that is, when the probability change notification effect (notification effect) is not performed, the point pattern and determination value of the counter defeat lottery table T11 which is a counter effect lottery table used The relationship with distribution will be described.

  In the counter defeat lottery table T11 shown in FIG. 24, the enemy character's health point is a value smaller than 40 points (39 points to 10 points), which is a subtraction value of the enemy character's health point when the counter (attack) succeeds. In the point patterns LP6, LP7, LP13, LP14, LP20, LP21, LP27, LP28, LP34, LP35, LP41, LP42, LP48, and LP49 set to 1, the judgment value is not assigned to the first counter effect pattern CT1. . In the counter defeat lottery table T11, the enemy character's health point is set to a value (10 points) smaller than 30 points, which is the subtraction value of the enemy character's health point when the chase counter (attack) is successful. In the point patterns LP7, LP14, LP21, LP28, L35, LP42, and LP49, no determination value is assigned to the fourth counter effect pattern CT4. That is, even when the counter is possible (when the non-operation battle effect patterns NBT1 and NBT2 are determined), the enemy character has 39 to 10 health points (LP6, LP7, LP13, LP14, LP20). , LP21, LP27, LP28, LP34, LP35, LP41, LP42, LP48, LP49), the first counter effect pattern CT1 with a successful counter is selected, or the enemy character has 10 health points (LP7, LP14 , LP21, LP28, LP35, LP42, LP49), the fourth counter effect pattern CT4 in which the follow-up counter succeeds is not selected. Therefore, when the probability change notification effect is not executed, the player character is not in a state of winning, and it is possible to prevent a trap from being generated between the result set in the scenario and the result of the battle effect. It has become.

  In the counter defeat lottery table T11, in the point patterns LP5, LP12, LP19, LP26, LP33, LP40, LP47 where the enemy character's health points are set to 79 to 40 points, the judgment value is set to the first counter effect pattern CT1. However, the determination value is not assigned to the third counter effect pattern CT3 and the sixth counter effect pattern CT6, which are the effect patterns for the game with which the player character wins. In the counter defeat lottery table T11, the point pattern LP6, LP13, LP20, LP27, LP34, LP41, LP48 in which the enemy character's physical strength points are set to 39 to 11 points is judged as the fourth counter effect pattern CT4. However, the determination value is not assigned to the third counter effect pattern CT3 and the sixth counter effect pattern CT6, which are the effect patterns for the game with which the player character wins. That is, when the enemy character has 79 to 40 health points (LP5, LP12, LP19, LP26, LP33, LP40, LP47) and the first counter effect pattern CT1 is selected, and the enemy character has 39 health points. In the case of 11 points (LP6, LP13, LP20, LP27, LP34, LP41, LP48), when the fourth counter effect pattern CT4 is selected, the overall control CPU 65a, as described above, the physical strength of the enemy character By maintaining the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 that stores points at 10 points, an effect that the player character wins (probability change notification effect) is not executed.

(Relationship between pursuit direction and point pattern)
Next, when the player character loses as a result of the battle effect, that is, when the probability change notification effect (notification effect) is not performed, the point pattern and determination value of the follow-up defeat lottery table T13 which is a lottery table of the follow-up effect used. The relationship with distribution will be described.

  In the follow-up defeat lottery table T13 shown in FIG. 26, the enemy character's health point is set to a value (10 points) smaller than 30 points, which is a subtraction value of the enemy character's health point when the pursuit (attack) is successful. In the point patterns LP7, LP14, LP21, LP28, LP35, LP42, and LP49, the determination value is not assigned to the first pursuit effect pattern RB1. That is, even when the pursuit is possible (when the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined when the strong operation button 37b is operated), the enemy character has 10 health points (LP7, LP14, LP21). , LP28, LP35, LP42, LP49), the first pursuit effect pattern RB1 in which the pursuit is successful is not selected. Therefore, when the probability change notification effect is not executed, the player character is not in a state of winning, and it is possible to prevent a trap from being generated between the result set in the scenario and the result of the battle effect. It has become.

  Further, in the point pattern LP6, LP13, LP20, LP27, LP34, LP41, LP48 in which the enemy character's health point is set to 39 to 11 in the follow-up defeat lottery table T13, the judgment value is set as the first follow-up effect pattern RB1. However, the determination value is not assigned to the third pursuit effect pattern RB3, which is the effect pattern for the game where the player character wins. That is, when the enemy character has 39 to 11 health points (LP6, LP13, LP20, LP27, LP34, LP41, LP48) and the first follow-up effect pattern RB1 is selected, the overall control CPU 65a as described above. Keeps the health point of the second point storage unit 76 that stores the enemy character's health point at the time of a successful attack at 10 points so that the effect that the own character wins (probability notification effect) is not executed. It has become.

(Relationship between rendition and point pattern)
Next, when the player character is defeated as a result of the battle effect, that is, when the probability change notification effect (notification effect) is not performed, the point pattern is determined as the point pattern in the consecutive slash failure lottery table T15, which is a lottery table for the continuous slash effect. The relationship with the value distribution will be described.

  Here, as described above, when the first continuous slashing effect pattern SC1 to the twelfth continuous slashing effect pattern SC12 are determined as the continuous slashing effects, the enemy character's health point subtraction value is set to 6 points. On the other hand, when the thirteenth cutting effect pattern SC13 is determined, the enemy character's health point is set to 0 points. Under these conditions, in the continuous cutting failure lottery table T15 shown in FIG. 28, the determination values are distributed to the first continuous cutting effect pattern SC1 to the twelfth continuous cutting effect pattern SC12 in all the point patterns LP1 to LP49. On the other hand, in all the point patterns LP1 to LP49, the determination value is not assigned to the thirteenth continuous cutting effect pattern SC13. That is, even if continuous cutting is possible (when the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined when the weak operation button 36 is operated), there is a game if the probability change notification effect (notification effect) is not performed. The thirteenth cutting effect pattern SC13, which is an effect pattern, is not selected. Therefore, when the probability change notification effect is not executed, the player character is not in a state of winning, and it is possible to prevent a trap from being generated between the result set in the scenario and the result of the battle effect. It has become.

  The symbol display device (symbol display means) 17 performs a battle as a notification effect on condition that the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 or the second point storage unit 76 of the overall control RAM 65c is 0 point (specific value). It is configured to function as an effect execution means for executing a victory effect or a battle defeat effect. Further, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit correspond to the point pattern that is the interrelationship between the physical strength points stored in the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76. Since the presentation pattern related to changing the 76 physical strength points is determined from among a plurality of types, the overall control CPU 65a performs the physical strength points of the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76. Is provided as a change mode determining means for determining the amount of change (effect value change mode) from a plurality of types.

  Based on the type of special figure (information acquired when winning the start winning means) based on the type of special figure when winning the big hit in the big hit determination, the overall control CPU 65a performs the result and the battle effect in the big win game. It is configured to determine a scenario that defines a general development from the start until the result is displayed. Further, the result of the battle effect specified in the scenario corresponds to the final numerical value of the physical strength point (effect value) in the first point storage unit 75 or the second point storage unit 76. For example, in the scenario where the player character wins, the health point of the second point storage unit 76 is 0 point, and in the scenario where the player character is defeated, the health point of the first point storage unit 75 is 0 point. . That is, the overall control CPU 65a has a function as final effect value determining means for determining a final effect value that can change the physical strength points (effect values) of the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76. Then, based on the point pattern in which the overall control CPU 65a specifies the interrelationship between the physical strength points of the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76 so that the final physical fitness point specified in the scenario is obtained. The change mode of the physical fitness point is determined.

  In addition, when the player character wins based on the scenario, the health point of the second point storage unit 76 that stores the enemy character's health point is set to 0 point (final effect value), and when the player character loses. The general control CPU 65a stores both of the point storage units 75 and 76 with the progress of the battle production so that the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 for storing the physical strength points of the player character is set to 0 point (final production value). The physical strength point is changed, and the overall control CPU 65a determines that one of the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76 becomes the final effect value. Further, as described above, when the battle effect pattern is determined by lottery, when the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are operated (pressed) or the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are not operated (pressed). Accordingly, a lottery table in which a plurality of types of battle effect patterns are set is selected, and the overall control CPU 65a is configured to change the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76 (effect value change mode). The overall control CPU 65a determines from among a plurality of types according to the type of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b or when the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are not operated (pressed). Furthermore, when the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 that stores the physical strength points of the enemy character is 0 points, the player wins and the battle victory effect (notification effect) is performed, thereby ending the big hit game While it is informed that the following will be in a probable state, when the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 that stores the physical strength point of the own character becomes 0 point, the own character is defeated and battle defeat effect (notification It is configured to notify the transition to a latent mode (latent state) where it is impossible to determine whether the probabilistic state or non-probable state is after the end of the jackpot game. A plurality of types of notification effects having different contents depending on the type of the game are set and executed by the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the point storage units 75 and 76 having the specific value (the physical strength point is 0 point). Kind of knowledge production has been determined.

(Battle production pattern decision mode)
In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, in the battle effect (specific period), a manual mode for determining an operation battle effect pattern based on an operation (pressing) of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b by the player, and an operation An automatic mode in which the overall control CPU 65a automatically determines the battle effect pattern is set, and the manual mode and the automatic mode can be switched. In this embodiment, the mode can be switched between the manual mode and the automatic mode in the above-described high-speed fluctuating gaming state.

  That is, in this embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a sets a mode selection operation valid period (time) during which the operation (pressing) of the operation button 36 is valid following the selection effect of the player character in the high-speed fluctuating gaming state. The operation control command is set to be output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation effective command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the content of the effect corresponding to the mode selection operation effective effect specified by the command, and the mode selection The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to display the contents of the effect corresponding to the operation effective effect. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the image of the first operation button 36 is displayed on the image display unit 17 a of the symbol display device 17, and the battle effect pattern is displayed by the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36. An image (for example, “switching to the automatic mode when the button is pressed”) notifying that the mode is switched to the automatic mode that can be automatically determined is displayed. That is, when an operation signal from the first operation button 36 is input to the overall control CPU 65a during the mode selection operation valid period, the overall control CPU 65a automatically determines an operation battle effect pattern in the battle effect. Set the automatic mode. In the mode selection, when the mode selection operation valid period elapses without the player operating the first operation button 36, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to set the manual mode. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a stores information (such as a flag) for specifying the automatic mode in the overall control RAM 65c according to the operation signal input during the mode selection operation valid period, thereby grasping the current battle effect pattern determination mode. To get. When the automatic mode is selected, the background image displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the automatic mode is different from the background image in the manual mode, so that the player is notified that the automatic mode is selected. May be.

  The overall flow in the jackpot game will be described with reference to FIG. It is assumed that the player's own character in the battle effect has already been selected by the player during the symbol variation effect won in the big hit game. The determination mode for determining the operation battle effect pattern will be described in a state where the manual mode is set.

  When the opening effect of the big hit game is started (step C10), the symbol display device 17 displays the roulette image in which the images of the seven characters are arranged in a circle as described above, and the roulette An effect is made to rotate. At this time, an image of the first operation button 36 is also displayed, and an operation signal output when the player operates (presses) the first operation button 36 is input to the overall control CPU 65a, whereby the overall control CPU 65a. Is output to the display control board 70, and based on the control command, the display control CPU 70a displays so as to stop the roulette. Then, the overall control CPU 65a determines the character stopped at the preset support position as an enemy character (step C11). When the enemy character selection operation valid period has passed without the player operating the first operation button 36 in the enemy character selection, the overall control CPU 65a determines an enemy character by lottery from seven characters.

  Next, the overall control CPU 65a determines the scenario C1 to C4 in which the result of the battle effect and the schematic development until the result is derived are set using the scenario lottery table T1 (step C12). In this embodiment, when the symbol of the special figure won for the jackpot is “A” or “a”, one of the first to third scenarios C1 to C3 is determined, whereas the jackpot is won. When the symbol of the special figure is “E”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, the fourth scenario C4 is determined.

(When the first scenario C1 is decided)
When the opening effect ends, a round game in which the opening / closing body 43 of the special prize-winning device 40 is opened is started, and the battle block 1 is started. At this time, since the round game is the first time, step C14 and step C15 in FIG. 29 are both denied, and the process proceeds to step C16 to determine whether the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1. Determine whether or not. In step C12, since the first scenario C1 is determined, step C16 is affirmed, and processing for determining the content of the battle effect of the battle block 1 based on the first scenario C1 is started.

  In the battle block 1, the selection effect in the first battle effect is started. That is, the overall control CPU 65a sets a battle operation valid period during which the operation (pressing) of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b is valid, and outputs an operation valid command to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). . In the selection effect, the display control CPU 70a to which the operation valid command is input operates buttons 36 and 37a on the image display surface 17a of the symbol display device 17 in a standby state where the player character and the enemy character face each other as shown in FIG. , 37b are displayed, suggesting that the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b can be operated. Further, the first physical strength meter 78, the second physical strength meter 79, and the anger meter 80 are displayed on the image display surface 17a. Since this state is an initial state in which the player character and the enemy character have never played against each other, both the first physical strength meter 78 and the second physical strength meter 79 are displayed in a manner in which the entire lighting region is lit. (Heat points MAX). Further, the anger meter 80 is displayed in a state where all the lighting areas are not lit. Further, the physical strength points stored in the first point storage unit 75 and the second point storage unit 76 set in the overall control RAM 65c are each 200 points (the state of the first point pattern LP1). Further, the anger point stored in the third point storage unit 77 set in the overall control RAM 65c is 0 point.

(When weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed))
If an affirmative determination is made in step C16 and the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b during the battle operation effective period (Yes in step C17 in FIG. 30A), the overall control CPU 65a operates. The battle effect is advanced while drawing effect patterns in accordance with the types of the buttons 36, 37a, and 37b. That is, when the player operates (presses) the weak operation button 36, an operation signal from the weak operation button 36 (an input signal corresponding to the operation of the weak operation button 36) is input to the overall control CPU 65a (step C18). In step C19, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is 30 points (MAX). At this time, since the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is 0 point, Step C19 is denied, and the overall control CPU 65a selects the operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 corresponding to the weak operation button 36 from a plurality of types. It is decided by lottery. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a performs the weak operation victory lottery table shown in FIG. Operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 are determined by lottery using T2 (step C21). The process (step C20) when step C17 is affirmed will be described later.

  As described above, since the point pattern between the player character and the enemy character is the first point pattern PL1, the determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the weak operation victory lottery table T2 shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 65a compares the random number acquired at a predetermined timing to determine an operation battle effect pattern. In the first point pattern PL1, determination values are not distributed to the third operation battle effect pattern BT3, the sixth operation battle effect pattern BT6, and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7, which are the effect patterns for the game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player character from winning at an early stage and to extend the period of enjoying the battle effect during the round game.

(When the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined in step C21)
When the operation battle effect pattern is determined in step C21, the process proceeds to step C22, and it is determined whether or not the operation battle effect pattern is an effect pattern capable of a continuous effect. Since the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is an effect pattern capable of continuous effect, step C22 is affirmed and the process proceeds to step C23. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a performs an operation for continuous random lottery that enables the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36 at the timing when the weak attack of the own character specified by the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 hits the enemy character. An effective period is set, and an operation valid command is output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). The display control CPU 70a displays an image of the first operation button 36 on the symbol display device 17 based on the input operation valid command.

  Here, when the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a subtracts corresponding to the weak attack from the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76 of the overall control RAM 65c. Subtract 20 points as the value. At this time, since 200 points as an initial value are stored in the second point storage unit 76, the physical strength points in the second point storage unit 76 are updated to 180 points and stored. Further, the overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the second physical strength meter 79 in the second point storage unit 76 when the weak attack of the own character specified by the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 hits the enemy character. Change to match your health points. That is, since the physical strength point is subtracted, the lighting area of the second physical strength meter 79 is also displayed so as to decrease, so that the player can recognize that the physical strength point of the enemy character has decreased due to the hit of the attack. .

  In step C23, it is determined whether or not the first operation button 36 has been operated during the continuous slashing lottery operation valid period. If the result is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a determines a continuous slashing effect pattern by lottery. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 in which the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a determines the success of the continuous slash shown in FIG. The determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the lottery table T14 is compared with the random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a at a predetermined timing to determine the continuous effect pattern (step C24). In the first point pattern PL1, since the determination value is not assigned to the thirteenth continuous cutting effect pattern SC13, which is the effect pattern for the game, one of the first to twelfth continuous cutting effect patterns SC1 to SC12 is selected. A continuous cutting effect pattern is determined.

  At the timing when one continuous cutting effect pattern is determined from the continuous cutting effect patterns SC1 to SC12, the overall control CPU 65a sets a continuous cutting execution operation valid period during which the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36 is enabled. At the same time, the operation control command is output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control CPU 70a, whereby the image of the first operation button 36 is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Each time the player operates (presses) the first operation button 36 and an operation signal is input to the overall control CPU 65a, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a continuous cutting success execution control command to the display control CPU 70a. Based on the command, the display control CPU 70a controls the symbol display device 17 to display the continuous effect. Further, when an operation signal for the number of continuous slashes corresponding to the continuous slash effect pattern determined by the lottery is input, the overall control CPU 65a starts from the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76 of the overall control RAM 65c. Only 6 points, which are subtraction values corresponding to the slashes (continuous slash effect patterns SC1 to SC12), are subtracted. At this time, since the updated 180 points are stored in the second point storage unit 76, the physical strength point in the second point storage unit 76 is updated to 174 points and stored. The overall control CPU 65a changes so that the display of the second physical strength meter 79 matches the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 when the continuous slashing of the player character specified by the continuous slashing effect pattern is completed. Let That is, since the physical strength points are subtracted, the lighting area of the second physical strength meter 79 is also displayed so as to decrease, so that the player can recognize that the physical strength points of the enemy characters have further decreased due to continuous slashing. Then, the overall control CPU 65a returns to step C14 after the end of the continuous slash effect and determines whether or not the fifth round game has been started. Also, when the operation signal of the first operation button 36 is not input to the overall control CPU 65a during the continuous cutting execution operation validity period (No in Step C23), the overall control CPU 65a returns to Step C14. To determine whether the fifth round game has started.

  If step C22 is negative (when the operation battle effect pattern is an effect pattern in which continuous effect is not possible), an effect based on the operation battle effect pattern determined in step C21 is displayed on the symbol display device 17. After the execution, the process returns to step C14 to determine whether or not the fifth round game has been started.

(When the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4 is determined in step C21)
When the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4 is determined in Step C21, Step C22 is denied, and the symbol display device 17 executes the battle effect specified by the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4. That is, in the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4, the enemy character's attack is not hit the enemy character, but the enemy character's counter hits the player character and the player character is damaged. . Accordingly, when the fourth control battle effect pattern BT4 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a uses a subtraction value corresponding to a weak attack from the physical strength points stored in the first point storage unit 75 of the overall control RAM 65c. Subtract 20 points. At this time, since 200 points as initial values are stored in the first point storage unit 75, the physical strength points in the first point storage unit 75 are updated to 180 points and stored. Further, the overall control CPU 65a stores the display of the first physical strength meter 78 as a first point when the enemy character counter (weak attack) specified by the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4 hits the player character. It changes so that it may match with the physical strength point of part 75. That is, since the health point is subtracted, the lighting area of the first physical strength meter 78 is also displayed so that the player's own health point is reduced by hitting the counter (weak attack). Can be recognized. Then, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the fifth round game is started by returning to the step C14 after the end of the effect based on the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4.

  In addition, when an effect pattern in which an enemy character hits an enemy character is determined as in the battle effect specified by the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4, the overall control CPU 65a attacks the anger point. The anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is updated so as to be added in accordance with the type of (the type of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b). That is, since the added value of the anger point corresponding to the weak attack is set to 2 points, 2 points are added to the anger point of the third point storage unit 77. At this time, since the third point storage unit 77 stores 0 points as an initial value, the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is updated to 2 points and stored. Further, the overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the anger meter 80 on the third point storage unit 77 when the enemy character counter (weak attack) specified by the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4 hits the player character. Change to match your anger point. That is, since the anger point is added, the lighting area of the anger meter 80 is displayed so as to increase, so that the player can recognize that the anger point has increased due to the enemy character hit.

(When the middle operation button 37a is operated (pressed))
Next, the case where the operation button operated (pressed) by the player is the middle operation button 37a when step C17 is affirmed will be described with reference to FIG. 30B. That is, when the middle operation button 37a is operated (pressed), an operation signal (an input signal corresponding to the operation of the middle operation button 37a) is input to the overall control CPU 65a (step C25), and the overall control CPU 65a receives the step C26. It is determined whether or not the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is 30 points (MAX). At this time, since the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is 0 point, Step C26 is denied, and the overall control CPU 65a draws an operation battle effect pattern corresponding to the middle operation button 37a from among a plurality of types. decide. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a performs the middle operation victory lottery table shown in FIG. An operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery using T4 (step C27). The process (step C20) when step C26 is affirmed will be described later.

  As described above, since the point pattern between the player character and the enemy character is the first point pattern PL1, the determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the middle operation victory lottery table T4 shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 65a compares the random number acquired at a predetermined timing to determine an operation battle effect pattern. In the first point pattern PL1, determination values are not distributed to the third operation battle effect pattern BT3, the sixth operation battle effect pattern BT6, and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7, which are the effect patterns for the game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player character from winning at an early stage and to extend the period of enjoying the battle effect during the round game.

(When the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined in step C27)
When the operation battle effect pattern is determined in step C27, the process proceeds to step C28, and it is determined whether or not the operation battle effect pattern is an effect pattern capable of a follow-up effect. Since the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is an effect pattern that enables a follow-up effect, Step C28 is affirmed and the process proceeds to Step C29. Further, the overall control CPU 65a makes a follow-up operation effective period in which the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36 is effective at the timing when the middle character hits the enemy character by the middle character specified by the first operation battle effect pattern BT1. And the operation control command is output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). The display control CPU 70a displays an image of the first operation button 36 on the symbol display device 17 based on the input operation valid command.

  Here, when the first operational battle effect pattern BT1 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a subtracts corresponding to the medium attack from the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76 of the overall control RAM 65c. Subtract 40 points, the value. At this time, since 200 points as initial values are stored in the second point storage unit 76, the physical strength points in the second point storage unit 76 are updated to 160 points and stored. Further, the overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the second physical strength meter 79 in the second point storage unit 76 when the middle character specified by the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 hits an enemy character. Change to match your health points. That is, since the physical strength point is subtracted, the lighting area of the second physical strength meter 79 is also displayed so as to decrease, so that the player can recognize that the physical strength point of the enemy character has decreased due to the hit of the attack. .

  In step C29, it is determined whether or not the first operation button 36 has been operated during the follow-up operation valid period. If the result is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a determines a follow-up effect pattern by lottery. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a performs the follow-up victory lottery shown in FIG. The follow-up effect pattern is determined by comparing the determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the table T12 with the random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a at a predetermined timing (step C30). In the first point pattern PL1, since the determination value is not assigned to the third pursuit effect pattern RB3 which is the effect pattern for the game, one pursuit effect is selected from the first to second pursuit effect patterns RB1 to RB2. A pattern is determined.

  When one follow-up effect pattern is determined from the first to second follow-up effect patterns RB1 and RB2, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control command corresponding to the determined follow-up effect pattern to the display control CPU 70a. Based on the control command, the display control CPU 70a controls the symbol display device 17 to display a chase effect. Since the first follow-up effect pattern RB1 is set as a success effect in which the follow-up hits the enemy character, when the first follow-up effect pattern RB1 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a stores the second point in the overall control RAM 65c. By subtracting 30 points, which is a subtraction value corresponding to the pursuit, from the physical strength points stored in the unit 76, the update is performed. The overall control CPU 65a adjusts the display of the second physical strength meter 79 to the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 when the pursuit of the own character specified by the pursuit effect pattern hits an enemy character. Change. That is, since the physical strength point is subtracted, the lighting area of the second physical strength meter 79 is also displayed so as to decrease, so that the player can recognize that the physical strength point of the enemy character has decreased due to the pursuit. Then, the overall control CPU 65a returns to step C14 after the pursuit effect is completed, and determines whether or not the fifth round game is started. Also, when the operation signal of the first operation button 36 is not input to the overall control CPU 65a during the follow-up operation valid period (No in Step C29), the overall control CPU 65a returns to Step C14 and returns to 5 It is determined whether or not the second round game has been started.

  If step C28 is negative (when the operation battle effect pattern is an effect pattern incapable of pursuing a follow-up effect), the symbol display device 17 executes an effect based on the operation battle effect pattern determined in step C27. After that, the process returns to step C14 to determine whether or not the fifth round game has been started. If the operation battle effect pattern determined in step C27 is the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4, the overall control CPU 65a controls the enemy character as in the case where the weak operation button 36 is operated. The physical strength points of the first point storage unit 75 are updated so that the physical strength points of the player's character are reduced by the counter, and the display of the first physical strength meter 78 is changed. The subtraction value of the physical strength point at this time is 40 points corresponding to the middle attack set in the middle operation button 37a. Further, the overall control CPU 65a updates the anger point in the third point storage unit 77 and changes the display of the anger meter 80 so that the anger point of the own character is increased by the counter of the enemy character. Note that the added value of the anger point at this time is 3 points corresponding to the middle attack set in the middle operation button 37a.

(When the strong operation button 37b is operated (pressed))
Next, a case where the operation button operated (pressed) by the player is the strong operation button 37b when step C17 is affirmed will be described. That is, when the strong operation button 37b is operated (pressed), an operation signal (an input signal corresponding to the operation of the strong operation button 37b) is input to the overall control CPU 65a (step C31), and the overall control CPU 65a is in step C32. It is determined whether or not the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is 30 points (MAX). At this time, since the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 is 0 point, Step C32 is denied, and the overall control CPU 65a draws an operation battle effect pattern corresponding to the strong operation button 37b from among a plurality of types. decide. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a performs the strong operation victory lottery table shown in FIG. The operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery using T6 (step C33). The process (step C20) when step C32 is affirmed will be described later.

  As described above, since the point pattern between the player character and the enemy character is the first point pattern PL1, the determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the strong operation victory lottery table T6 shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 65a compares the random number acquired at a predetermined timing to determine an operation battle effect pattern. In the first point pattern PL1, determination values are not distributed to the third operation battle effect pattern BT3, the sixth operation battle effect pattern BT6, and the seventh operation battle effect pattern BT7, which are the effect patterns for the game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player character from winning at an early stage and to extend the period of enjoying the battle effect during the round game.

  When one operation battle effect pattern is determined from the first, second, fourth, and fifth operation battle effect patterns BT1, BT2, BT4, and BT5, the overall control CPU 65a A control command corresponding to the battle effect pattern is output to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a controls the symbol display device 17 to execute an effect based on the operation battle effect pattern based on the control command. Since the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is set as a success effect in which a strong attack hits an enemy character, when the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a controls the overall control RAM 65c. Is updated by subtracting 80 points, which is a subtraction value corresponding to a strong attack, from the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76. The overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the second physical strength meter 79 in the second point storage unit 76 when the strong attack of the player character specified by the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 hits the enemy character. Change to match your health points. That is, since the physical strength point is subtracted, the lighting area of the second physical strength meter 79 is also displayed so as to decrease, so that the player can recognize that the physical strength point of the enemy character has decreased due to the strong attack. Then, the overall control CPU 65a returns to the step C14 after the end of the operation battle effect and determines whether or not the fifth round game has been started.

  When the operation battle effect pattern determined in step C33 is the fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4, the overall control is performed as described in the case of operating the weak operation button 36 and the middle operation button 37a. The CPU 65a updates the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 and changes the display of the first physical strength meter 78 so that the physical character's physical strength point is reduced by the enemy character's counter. The subtraction value of the physical strength point at this time is 80 points corresponding to the strong attack set on the strong operation button 37b. Further, the overall control CPU 65a updates the anger point in the third point storage unit 77 and changes the display of the anger meter 80 so that the anger point of the own character is increased by the counter of the enemy character. The added value of the anger point at this time is 6 points corresponding to the strong attack set in the strong operation button 37b.

(When the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are not operated (pressed))
If the player does not operate (press) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b during the selection effect (No in Step C17), the overall control CPU 65a does not operate when the battle operation validity period has elapsed. The battle production pattern is determined by lottery from a plurality of types. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a performs the non-operation victory lottery shown in FIG. A non-operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery using the table T8 (step C34).

  As described above, since the point pattern between the player character and the enemy character is the first point pattern PL1, the determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the non-operation victory lottery table T8 shown in FIG. The overall control CPU 65a compares the random number acquired at a predetermined timing to determine the non-operation battle effect pattern. In the first point pattern PL1, no judgment value is assigned to the non-operation battle production pattern weak NBT3, medium NBT3, and strong NBT3, which is the production pattern with game, and the player character loses at an early stage. Is prevented, and the period during which a battle effect is enjoyed during a round game can be lengthened.

(When the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 is determined in step C34)
When the non-operation battle effect pattern is determined in Step C34, the process proceeds to Step C35, and it is determined whether or not the non-operation battle effect pattern is an effect pattern capable of counter effect. Since the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 is an effect pattern capable of counter effect, Step C35 is affirmed and the process proceeds to Step C36. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a enables the counter operation that enables the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36 at the timing when the enemy character specified by the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 starts an attack. While setting the period, an operation valid command is output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). Then, the display control CPU 70a displays an image of the first operation button 36 on the symbol display device 17 based on the input operation valid command.

  In step C36, it is determined whether or not the first operation button 36 is operated during the counter operation valid period. If the result is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a determines the counter effect pattern by lottery. In this case, since the scenario determined in step C12 is the first scenario C1 where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the overall control CPU 65a performs the counter victory lottery shown in FIG. The counter effect pattern is determined by comparing the determination value distributed in the case of the first point pattern PL1 in the table T10 with the random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a at a predetermined timing (step C37). In the first point pattern PL1, since the determination value is not distributed to the third counter effect pattern CT3 and the sixth counter effect pattern CT6 which are the effect patterns for the game, the first to second counter effect patterns CT1 to CT2 are assigned. One counter effect pattern is determined from the fourth to fifth counter effect patterns CT4 to CT5.

  When the counter effect pattern is determined, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control command corresponding to the determined counter effect pattern to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a counters the symbol display device 17 based on the control command. Control is performed to execute an effect based on the effect pattern. Since the first counter effect pattern CT1 and the fourth counter effect pattern CT4 are set as successful effects in which the counter hits an enemy character, the first counter effect pattern CT1 or the fourth counter effect pattern CT4 is determined. The overall control CPU 65a updates the physical strength points stored in the second point storage unit 76 of the overall control RAM 65c by subtracting 40 points or 30 points that are subtraction values corresponding to the counter or the follow-up counter. The overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the second physical strength meter 79 in the second point storage unit 76 when the counter of the player character or the pursuit counter specified by the counter effect patterns CT1 and CT4 hits an enemy character. Change to match your health points. That is, since the physical strength point is subtracted, the lighting area of the second physical strength meter 79 is also displayed so as to decrease, so that the player can recognize that the physical strength point of the enemy character has decreased by the counter or the pursuit counter. Then, the overall control CPU 65a returns to step C14 after the end of the counter effect and determines whether or not the fifth round game is started.

  When the operation signal of the first operation button 36 is not input to the overall control CPU 65a during the counter operation valid period (No in Step C36), the first non-operation battle effect pattern determined in Step C34 An effect based on the weak NBT 1 is executed by the symbol display device 17. Since the battle effect specified by the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 is an effect pattern in which the enemy character hits the player character, as described above, the overall control CPU 65a is the first point of the overall control RAM 65c. Only 20 points, which are subtraction values corresponding to weak attacks, are subtracted from the physical strength points stored in the storage unit 75 and updated. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the first physical strength meter 78 when the weak attack of the enemy character specified by the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 hits the player character. Change to match 76 health points.

  Furthermore, since the battle effect specified by the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 is an effect pattern in which an enemy character hits the player character, as described above, the overall control CPU 65a sets the anger point. The anger point in the third point storage unit 77 is updated so as to add 2 points according to the type of attack (weak attack in this case). The overall control CPU 65a displays the display of the anger meter 80 in the third point storage unit 77 when the weak attack of the enemy character specified by the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 hits the player character. Change to match the anger point. That is, since the anger point is added, the lighting area of the anger meter 80 is displayed so as to increase, so that the player can recognize that the anger point has increased due to the hit of the enemy character's weak attack. Note that after the end of the first non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1, the overall control CPU 65a returns to step C14 and determines whether or not the fifth round game has started.

  When the first battle effect is finished and the result in Step C14 is negative, that is, when the game has not progressed to the fifth round game, the second battle effect is started. That is, as described above, the types of operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b operated during the selection effect, or the case where the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are not operated during the selection effect are the same as described above. A battle effect is executed by the flow. Then, by repeating the battle effect, the physical strength points of the first point storage unit 75, the second point storage unit 76, and the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 are updated according to the effect pattern determined by the lottery. . In addition, the display of the corresponding meters 78, 79, 80 corresponding to the physical strength points and anger points stored in the first point storage unit 75, the second point storage unit 76, and the third point storage unit 77 is also changed, Interest can be improved by displaying the meters 78, 79, and 80 that change in accordance with the offense and defense of the production.

(When the second to fourth scenarios C2 to C4 are determined)
If the scenario determined in step C12 is the second to fourth scenarios C2 to C4, step C16 is denied, and if step C40 is also denied, the second to fourth scenarios C2 in the battle block 1 are determined. A battle effect corresponding to ~ C4 is disclosed. Here, in the second to fourth scenarios C2 to C4, the process flow for determining the content of the battle effect in the battle blocks 1 to 3 (the battle blocks 2 and 3 will be described later) is affirmative in step C16. Steps C17 to C37 are the same as described above, but since the player character is defeated in the battle blocks 1 to 3, the battle production flow in the battle block 1 is the same as described above, but each production pattern is changed. The lottery table used for the lottery is used for defeat or failure. That is, in step C21, an operation battle effect pattern is drawn using the weak operation defeat lottery table T3, and in step C24, a continuous cut effect pattern is drawn using the continuous cut failure lottery table T15. In step C27, an operation battle effect pattern is drawn using the middle operation defeat lottery table T5. In step C30, a follow-up effect pattern is drawn using the follow-up defeat lottery table T13. In step 33, an operation battle effect pattern is drawn using the strong operation defeat lottery table T7. Further, in step C34, a non-operation battle effect pattern is drawn using the non-operation defeat lottery table T9, and in step C37, a counter effect pattern is drawn using the counter defeat lottery table T11.

  In the weak operation defeat lottery table T3, the middle operation defeat lottery table T5, the strong operation defeat lottery table T7, the counter defeat lottery table T11, the follow-up defeat lottery table T13, and the continuous slash failure lottery table T15, as described above, When the attack of the production specified by each production pattern is successful, the production pattern in which the attack is not successful is selected in the point pattern classification in which the enemy character's health point is 0 point or less. Therefore, contrary to the result of the scenario where the player character does not win in the battle block 1, it is possible to prevent the player from winning an effect that the player character wins during the battle effect in the player block 1.

(About battle blocks 2 and 3)
When the battle effect in the battle block 1 is repeated and step C14 is affirmed, the battle effect in the battle block 1 is finished and the battle effect in the battle block 2 is started (step C38). The battle effect in the battle block 2 proceeds in the same manner as the battle effect flow in the battle block 1, and continues until step C15 is affirmed. That is, the battle effect in the battle block 2 is repeated until the 10th round game is started. When the result in step C15 is affirmative, the battle effect in the battle block 2 is finished, and the battle effect in the battle block 3 is completed. Production is started (step C39). The battle effect of the battle block 3 also proceeds in the same manner as the battle effect flow of the battle block 1, and the battle effect in the battle block 3 is repeated until the 15th round game is started. .

(About notification production)
Next, a case where a notification effect of “battle victory effect” or “battle defeat effect” is performed as a result of the battle effect will be described.

  In the battle production in the battle blocks 1 to 3, when the attack of the player character hits the enemy character and the enemy character's health point (health point updated in the second point storage unit 76) becomes 0 point, The overall control CPU 65a outputs a command with game to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a), and based on the command with game, the display control CPU 70a provides a battle victory effect in which the own character wins against the enemy character. Control to display on. As a result, it is notified that the end of the big hit game is in a certain change state. On the other hand, if the enemy character's attack hits his character and his character's health points (health points updated in the first point storage unit 75) reach 0 points, the overall control CPU 65a has a match. The command is output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a), and the display control CPU 70a controls to display on the symbol display device 17 a battle defeat effect in which the player character is defeated by the enemy character based on the game command. . As a result, it is informed that the transition to the latent mode (latent state) in which it is impossible to determine whether the probabilistic state or the non-probable state is after the end of the big hit game.

(About the effect of anger points)
In the present embodiment, the above-described notification effect can be performed by the numerical value of the physical strength point updated in the point storage units 75 and 76 in which the physical strength point of the character (the own character or the enemy character) hit by the attack is reduced. In addition, a third point storage unit 77 that is updated so as to increase the anger point when an attack is hit on the player character is provided, and the notification is also made by the numerical value of the anger point updated in the third point storage unit 77. Since the performance can be performed, the action related to the anger point will be specifically described.

  In the battle effect, when an effect pattern in which an enemy character's attack hits the player character is determined as the operation battle effect pattern, and an effect pattern in which the enemy character's attack hits the player character is determined as the non-operation battle effect pattern. In this case, the overall control CPU 65a corresponds the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 to the type of the operated operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b or the type of the non-operation battle effect pattern determined by the lottery. Only the points to be added (added value) are added and updated. That is, when the weak operation button 36 is operated or when the non-operation battle effect pattern weak NBT1 is determined, 2 points are added to the anger point of the third point storage unit 77, and the middle operation button 37a is operated. If NBT1 in the non-operation battle effect pattern is determined, 3 points are added to the anger point of the third point storage unit 77, and the strong operation button 37b is operated or the non-operation battle effect pattern is strong. When NBT1 is determined, 6 points are added to the anger point of the third point storage unit 77. Even when the production pattern in which the player character guards against a strong attack of the enemy character is determined, the overall control CPU 65a adds 1 point to the anger point in the third point storage unit 77 and updates it.

  Each time the anger point stored in the third point storage unit 77 is added, the lighting area of the anger meter 80 is displayed so as to increase. When the anger point stored in the third point storage unit 77 reaches 30 points (MAX), the overall control CPU 65a performs a lottery to determine whether or not to output an anger production command. The command is output to the display control board 70. That is, when the anger effect command is output from the overall control CPU 65a, the step C17, step C26 or step C32 is affirmed and the process proceeds to step C20. In step C20, the display control board 70 to which the anger effect command is input controls to display the effect based on the mysterious effect pattern on the symbol display device 17. Since this mysterious effect pattern is an effect pattern with a game, the overall control CPU 65a forcibly sets the physical strength point of the second point storage unit 76 to 0 point and performs an effect based on the mysterious effect pattern. When the mystery hits an enemy character, display is made so that all the lighting areas of the second physical strength meter 79 are turned off. Furthermore, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a command with a game to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a), and the display control CPU 70a provides a battle victory effect in which the own character wins the enemy character based on the command with the game. 17 to control the display. As a result, it is notified that the end of the big hit game is in a certain change state.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when scenarios C2, C3, and C4 are determined as the scenario, if the character is not defeated in the battle performance until the 12th round game is started. Then, using the lottery table for forced defeat, the player performs an effect in which the physical strength point of his character is 0 points. That is, only the defeat effect pattern in which the player's character is defeated is set in the table for forced defeat. When the defeat effect pattern is determined, a command with a game is output from the overall control CPU 65a to the display control CPU 70a. Based on the command, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to display a battle defeat effect in which the player character loses to the enemy character.

  Further, after the 15th round game is started (Yes in Step C40), it is determined whether or not the own character has been defeated despite the scenario C1 being determined (Step C41). If affirmative, the process proceeds to step C42, and the overall control CPU 65a outputs a restoration effect command to the display control CPU 70a. Thereby, based on the command, the display control CPU 70a controls the symbol display device 17 to execute the effect that the character is restored. And it transfers to step C43 and the ending effect is performed by the symbol display apparatus 17. FIG.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  In the present embodiment, in the battle effect during the big hit game, it is executed by the symbol display device 17 depending on whether the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b or does not operate (presses). Since the production is different, the production can be diversified and the entertainment of the game can be improved. Also, in the battle production, when the enemy character hits the player character, the anger meter 80 has a lighting region separately from the production in which the lighting region of the first physical strength meter 78 that displays the physical strength point of the player character decreases. The production changes to increase. That is, when the enemy character's attack hits his character, the display of the first physical strength meter 78 related to whether or not the probability change notification effect for notifying that the probability change state is given after the end of the big hit game is executed. Since the display of the anger meter 80 changes so as to approach 30 points (MAX), the player changes even if the enemy character hits his character. Can enjoy the game with the expectation that a certain change notification effect will be executed.

  In the battle effect, after the enemy character's attack hits his character, the anger meter 80 display reaches 30 points (MAX), and then the enemy character's health point is reduced to 0 point (the probability change notification effect is executed). To increase the interest regarding whether or not the mystery effect is executed with the display of the anger meter 80 reaching 30 points (MAX). Can increase the player's interest in performance. Further, in this embodiment, as a condition for executing the probability change notification effect, when the player operates the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, apart from the display of the anger meter 80 being 30 points (MAX). When the attack based on the determined operational battle effect pattern hits an enemy character, the display of the second physical strength meter 79 in which the physical strength point decreases is set to 0 point, so the operation buttons 36, 37a, The willingness to participate in the game of operating 37b can be increased.

  Further, in the battle effect, a lottery used when the general control CPU 65a draws a battle effect pattern depending on whether the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b or not (does not press). Since the tables are set differently, and the selection ratios (distribution of judgment values) of a plurality of types of battle effect patterns in each lottery table are made different, it is possible to enhance the interest without making the effects monotonous. Furthermore, since a lottery table used for lottery of battle effect patterns is provided for each of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b, the battle effect patterns that can be determined can be increased, and the game can be diversified. Can improve the interest of Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the player operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, the attack of the player character hits the enemy character as an operation battle effect pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a. Since the counter of the enemy character is equipped with a fourth operation battle effect pattern BT4 that hits the player character when performing an attack attacked by the player character, not only the player battle effect pattern, but the player character and the enemy character It is possible to focus attention to the end and to prevent the production from becoming monotonous.

  In the present embodiment, a first point storage unit 75 that stores (manages) the health points of the player character in an updatable manner and a second point storage unit 76 that stores (manages) the health points of the enemy characters in an updatable manner are provided. In accordance with the point patterns LP1 to LP49 that specify the interrelationships between the physical strength points stored in both the point storage units 75 and 76, the selection ratio of the plurality of types of effect patterns related to changing the physical fitness points (the judgment value) The distribution is different. That is, the change modes of the physical strength meters 78 and 79 whose display changes according to the change of the physical strength points of the point storage units 75 and 76 can be diversified, and the fun of the game can be improved. Furthermore, since the selection ratio of the effect patterns that can be determined by the point patterns LP1 to LP49 is different for each of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, the types of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b that the player operates. As a result of the combination, the changing modes of the physical strength meters 78 and 79 can be further diversified, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  In this embodiment, the scenario that sets the result of the battle effect and the general development until the result is derived is determined by lottery, and the battle effect (competitive effect) is advanced based on the scenario. It is possible to prevent a notification effect such as a battle victory effect or a battle defeat effect from being executed at an unintended point in the middle of the battle effect. That is, in the scenario where the player character can win somewhere in the battle blocks 1 to 3 (first scenario C1), a win lottery table or a success lottery table is used as a lottery table used when lottery of each effect pattern is drawn in the battle directing. In the scenario where the player character is defeated in the battle blocks 1 to 3 (second to fourth scenarios C1 to C4), the lottery table used for drawing each production pattern is the defeat lottery table or the failure lottery table. Since it is configured to be used, it is possible to prevent the result set in the scenario from being displayed at an unintended point in the middle of the battle effect.

  Also, in this embodiment, in the case of a scenario where a battle victory effect can be executed, the effect pattern is determined so that the second point storage unit 76 is set to 0 as the specified value, whereas the battle defeat effect is executed. In the case of a possible scenario, since the production pattern is determined so that the first point storage unit 75 is set to 0 point which is the specified value, the probability variation state is given after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to execute either a battle victory effect to be notified (probability change notification effect) or a battle defeat effect that is not notified in the effect whether or not a probability change state is given after the end of the big hit game. That is, it is possible to prevent the big hit game from being finished without executing the notification effect.

  In this embodiment, when the physical strength point of the first point storage unit 75 that stores (manages) the physical character's physical strength point in a changeable manner becomes 0 point (specific value), the battle defeat effect (notification effect) is executed. It is configured so that the physical strength points of enemy characters can be stored (managed) in a changeable manner. When the physical strength points of the second point storage unit 76 are 0 points (specific values) and the anger points are stored in a variable manner ( When the anger point of the third point storage unit 77 to be managed is 30 points (specific value), a battle victory effect (notification effect) is configured to be executable. That is, since the type of notification effect that can be executed for each point storage unit 75, 76, 77 is determined, which point storage unit 75, 76, 77 has a specific value, that is, which meter 78, 79, The interest about whether the display state of 80 becomes a display state corresponding to a specific value can be attracted, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In this embodiment, for each of the plurality of operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b that can be selected by the player, when the attack determined when the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b are operated (pressed) succeeds Since the subtraction value for subtracting the physical strength points of the character is set to be different, the manner of changing the physical strength points of the point storage units 75 and 76, that is, the physical strength meter 78, depends on the type of operation buttons 36, 37a and 37b selected by the player , 79 change the display mode. That is, since the player can select the change mode of the physical strength point (effect value) related to whether or not to execute the battle victory effect (probability change notification effect) for notifying that the probability change state is given after the end of the big hit game It is possible to increase the willingness to participate in the game and improve the interest of the game. In addition, since the lottery tables T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7 for drawing the operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 are different for each type of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, the symbol display device 17 executes them. The number of possible productions can be increased, and the production can be diversified. Furthermore, since the ratio when each operation battle effect pattern BT1 to BT7 is determined by lottery is also set to be different in each lottery table T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, the player has operated it. Depending on the type of button, there are productions that are easy to produce and productions that are difficult to produce, and it is possible to increase interest in button selection and to improve the interest of the game. Further, for each type of the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b, when the attack is successful, the subtraction value for subtracting the health point of the opponent character is different, and each lottery used for each operation button 36, 37a, 37b. Since the lottery ratios of the operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 in the tables T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7 are different, the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b and how to decrease the physical strength points are diversified, and more interesting. You can enjoy a rich production. For example, when the strong operation button 37b having a large subtraction value of the physical strength point is operated (pressed), if the battle defeat effect is selected without selecting the battle victory effect in which the enemy character's physical strength point is reduced, the physical strength of the player character is selected. While there is a risk that the points will be greatly reduced, if the battle victory effect is selected, the physical strength points of the enemy characters will be greatly reduced, and the player's interest can be improved. On the other hand, when the weak operation button 36 having a small subtraction value of the physical strength point is operated (pressed), the enemy character or the own character's physical strength point is slightly reduced regardless of which of the battle victory effect and the battle defeat effect is selected. Because there is no, you can enjoy the battle production for a long time. In addition, when the middle operation button 37a in which the subtraction value of the physical strength point is set between the strong operation button 37b and the weak operation button 36 is operated (pressed), the battle effect can be enjoyed for a relatively long time, and the battle can be enjoyed. Since the decrease in the physical strength points of the enemy character when the victory effect is selected is larger than that of the weak operation button 36, the player's interest when the battle victory effect is executed can be enhanced. As described above, the effects are diversified depending on the types of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b.

  In addition, the subtraction value of the physical strength points set for each of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b is used until the initial value (200 points) set in the point storage units 75 and 76 is set to a specific value (0 points). Is set to a value that must be selected multiple times. Accordingly, the timing at which the physical strength points of the point storage units 75 and 76 become 0 points can be changed depending on the combination of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b selected by the player in a plurality of battle effects. You can raise your interest in what you can do and improve your interest. Moreover, since each battle block is configured to be able to execute a plurality of battle effects, the type of operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b operated for each battle effect can be changed, and various effects can be enjoyed. It becomes possible.

  In this embodiment, depending on the type of battle effect pattern (BT1) determined by lottery when the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are operated (pressed) during the battle effect, during the effect specified by the battle effect pattern In addition, a period during which the operation button 36 can be operated is provided, and when the operation button 36 is operated (pressed) during the period, another effect (follow-up effect) can be executed. That is, by operating the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b a plurality of times in one battle effect, different effects may be executed, so that the effect can be prevented from becoming monotonous, and the player Can increase the willingness to operate the operation buttons 36, 37a and 37b, and can improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, the enemy's physical strength point can be reduced by the battle effect pattern (BT1) executed by the first operation button 36, 37a, 37b, and the second operation button 36 is operated. Since the enemy character's physical strength point can be reduced also by the pursuit effect, the player's willingness to operate the operations 36, 37a and 37b can be further enhanced.

  In addition, a lottery table used for lottery of the operation battle effect pattern when the first operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are operated, and a lottery table used for lottery of the chase effect pattern when the second operation button 36 is operated. Are set to be different from each other, and the selection ratios (distribution of judgment values) of a plurality of types of effect patterns in each lottery table are made different, so that the entertainment can be further enhanced without the effects becoming monotonous. Furthermore, since each lottery table is also set with an effect pattern (effect pattern guarded by the enemy character) that does not reduce (change) physical strength points, it is possible to further prevent the effect from becoming monotonous. Furthermore, when the battle victory effect is not executed, the physical strength point (effect value) in the second point storage unit 76 is 0 points (specific value) which is a condition that the battle victory effect can be executed from 10 points (threshold value). Since it is constituted so as not to approach, it is possible to prevent the battle victory effect from being executed under unintended conditions. That is, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the probability variation state is not given after the big hit game is ended even though the battle victory effect is executed.

(About automatic mode)
Next, an automatic mode in which the overall control CPU 65a automatically determines an operation battle effect pattern by lottery in the battle effect will be described.
In the automatic mode, an operation button for the lottery table in which the overall control CPU 65a uses the automatic mode lottery table T18 to draw the battle battle effect pattern at the timing when the battle operation effective period of the battle effect starts. A lottery table for weak attack, medium attack, or strong attack corresponding to the type of 36, 37a, 37b is determined by lottery. Then, the processing after the type of the lottery table is determined by the table lottery is determined by the overall control CPU 65a by lottery using the determined lottery table, as in the case of the manual mode. The effect specified by the determined battle battle effect pattern is executed in the attack effect.

  The lottery process of the battle effect pattern for operation in the automatic mode will be described. At the start of the round game (the first round, the sixth round, the tenth round) in which each battle block is started, The type of lottery table (for weak attack, set by the overall control CPU 65a corresponding to the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b using the automatic mode lottery table T18 (see FIG. 32) at the start timing of the first battle effect. Medium attack and strong attack) are determined, and the battle effect pattern for operation is determined by lottery using the type of lottery table determined by this table lottery. In the subsequent battle effects, the overall control CPU 65a performs table lottery using the automatic mode lottery table T18 at the timing when the attack effect in the previous battle effect is completed, and operation battle effects using the lottery tables T2 to T7. By performing the pattern lottery, the production is configured to proceed in the same manner as in the manual mode. That is, in the automatic mode, an operation battle effect pattern is determined in the same manner as when the player actually operates (presses) the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b during the selection effect in the manual mode, and the determined operation is performed. The effect specified by the battle effect pattern is executed in the attack effect. In the automatic mode, the overall control CPU 65a is set not to output an operation valid command to the display control board (display control CPU 70a) 70 at the time of lottery of the operation battle effect pattern. The image of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b as in the mode is configured not to be displayed. In the automatic mode, since the battle operation effective period is not actually set, the automatic lottery timing (specific identification) is determined with respect to the timing for determining the operation battle effect pattern in the automatic mode corresponding to the start of the battle operation effective period. It may also be referred to as (effect determination timing).

  In the automatic mode, the overall control CPU 65a uses the random numbers and determination values stored in the overall control ROM 65b to select the types of lottery tables for drawing operation battle effect patterns corresponding to the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b. The weak attack lottery tables T2 and T3, the medium attack lottery tables T4 and T5, and the strong attack lottery tables T6 and T7 are determined by lottery. The random number and determination value used when determining the type of the lottery table may be referred to as a table lottery random number and a table lottery determination value. A predetermined number of integer values are set for the table lottery random numbers, and the overall control CPU 65a updates the table lottery random numbers one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms) and temporarily stores the updated values in the overall control RAM 65c. Is stored and is rewritten with the value before update. Further, in the automatic mode lottery table T18, there are table lottery determination values of integer values that can be taken by random numbers for table lottery corresponding to the types of lottery tables for weak attack, medium attack, and strong attack. It is distributed. Then, the overall control CPU 65a obtains a table lottery random number at the automatic lottery timing, and compares the obtained table lottery random number value with the table lottery determination value set in the automatic mode lottery table T18. Thus, the type of the lottery table is determined. In the present embodiment, the ratio at which the lottery tables T2 and T3 for weak attacks, the lottery tables T4 and T5 for medium attacks, and the lottery tables T6 and T7 for strong attacks are determined in the lottery using random numbers and determination values. The table lottery determination values are distributed so that each of them is 1/3. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the automatic mode, the overall control CPU 65a obtains a random number for lottery of the operational battle effect pattern at the timing when the type of lottery table (for weak attack, medium attack, and strong attack) is determined. As in the case of the manual mode, the acquired random number value is compared with the determination value set in the determined lottery table type to determine the operation battle effect pattern. In the determined weak attack, medium attack, or strong attack lottery table, which of the operation victory lottery tables T2, T4, and T6 and the operation defeat lottery tables T3, T5, and T7 is to be used. As described in the case of the manual mode, it is determined according to the scenarios C1 to C4.

  That is, the overall control CPU 65a has a function as a specific effect determining means for determining a battle effect (specific effect) from a plurality of types and a mode switching means for switching between the manual mode and the automatic mode. The overall control CPU 65a has a function as an effect execution control means for causing the symbol display device 17 to execute a battle effect specified by the operation battle effect pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a in the manual mode and the automatic mode. .

(About battle effect pattern selection processing in each mode)
Next, battle effect pattern selection processing executed by the overall control CPU 65a based on the control program will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the battle effect pattern selection process, it is determined whether the current battle effect pattern determination mode is the manual mode or the automatic mode (step D11). If the determination result in step D11 is the manual mode, the process proceeds to step D12, and the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are operated as described above. If the determination in step D12 is affirmative, the random number acquired at the timing when the operation signal from the operation button 36, 37a, 37b is input to the overall control CPU 65a according to the type of the operated operation button 36, 37a, 37b. The overall control CPU 65a determines one of the operation battle effect patterns from the plural types (BT1 to BT7) using the corresponding lottery tables T2 to T7 as described above (step D13). On the other hand, if the result in step D12 is negative, the process goes to step D14, and the overall control CPU 65a uses the random number acquired at the elapsed timing of the battle operation valid period, and the non-operation in which the non-operation battle effect pattern is set. As described above, one of a plurality of non-operational battle effect patterns (weak NBT1 to weak NBT3, medium NBT1 to medium NBT3, strong NBT1 to strong NBT3) is determined using the lottery tables T8 and T9. .

  If the determination result of step D11 is the automatic mode, the process proceeds to step D15, where the lottery table set corresponding to the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b using the automatic mode lottery table T18 is displayed. The type is determined by lottery. That is, the overall control CPU 65a acquires a table lottery random number at the automatic lottery timing, and compares the acquired table lottery random value with the table lottery determination value set in the automatic mode lottery table T18. Thus, the type of the lottery tables T2 and T3 for weak attacks, the lottery tables T4 and T5 for medium attacks, or the lottery tables T6 and T7 for strong attacks is determined. Next, the overall control CPU 65a acquires a random number for lottery of the operation battle effect pattern at the timing when the type of the lottery table is determined, and sets the value of the acquired random number as the type of the determined lottery table. The operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 are determined in comparison with the determined determination value (step D13). In the determined weak attack, medium attack, or strong attack lottery tables T2 to T7, which of the operation victory lottery tables T2, T4, and T6 and the operation defeat lottery tables T3, T5, and T7 is used? Is determined according to scenarios C1 to C4 as described above.

  As described above, since the determination mode of the battle effect pattern can be switched between the manual mode and the automatic mode, even a player who is reluctant to operate the operation buttons 36, 37a, 37b is automatically once. By switching to the mode, it is possible to execute a battle effect similar to the case where the operation buttons 36, 37a and 37b are operated, and the entertainment of the game can be improved. That is, even if the player does not operate the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b, it is possible to produce an effect that makes use of the battle effect and improve the interest of the game. In addition, since the types of operation battle effect patterns that can be determined in automatic mode are the same as the types of operation battle effect patterns that can be determined in manual mode, the same battle effects as in manual mode are possible even in automatic mode. Can enjoy. In addition, since the operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 corresponding to the types of the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b can be determined as in the manual mode, it is possible to prevent the effects from becoming monotonous. That is, even in the automatic mode, the weak attack, the medium attack, and the strong attack are displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the same manner as when the operation buttons 36, 37a, and 37b are operated. Absent.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, even in the automatic mode, every time the battle effect in the battle block ends, the type of lottery table for drawing the battle battle effect pattern for operation is determined using the automatic mode lottery table T18. At the same time, since the operation battle effect pattern can be determined based on the determined lottery table, a plurality of battle effects can be enjoyed in one battle block, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(About automatic mode switching processing in automatic mode)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a determines the battle effect pattern when the operation battle effect pattern capable of executing the special effect such as the pursuit effect or the continuous effect is determined in the automatic mode. The mode can be automatically switched from the automatic mode to the manual mode. In the present embodiment, the effect specified by the operation battle effect pattern capable of executing the special effect is the special specification effect.

  The automatic mode switching process executed by the overall control CPU 65a based on the control program will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the mode automatic switching process, it is determined whether or not the current determination mode is the automatic mode (step E11). If the determination result in step E11 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step E12, and the operation battle determined by the overall control CPU 65a using the lottery tables T2 to T7 determined using the automatic mode lottery table T18. It is determined whether or not the effect pattern is an operation battle effect pattern capable of executing the special effect. That is, in the embodiment, when the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined, the follow-up effect or the continuous effect is configured to be executable. Therefore, by the lottery using the lottery tables T2 to T7 in the automatic mode. When the first operation battle effect pattern BT1 is determined, the determination result of step E12 is affirmative. In addition, a process is complete | finished when the determination result of step E11 or step E12 is negative.

  If the determination result of step E12 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step E13, and the overall control CPU 65a automatically switches the battle effect pattern determination mode from the automatic mode to the manual mode. When switched to the manual mode, the overall control CPU 65a, as described above, corresponds to the situation (when the scenario or the determined operational battle effect pattern corresponds to the weak operation button 36 or the middle operation button 37a). Accordingly, while the effect specified by the operation battle effect pattern is being executed on the symbol display device 17, the follow-up operation effective period, the continuous slash lottery operation effective period, or the continuous slash execution operation effective period is set. The overall control CPU 65a outputs an operation valid command to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a), and the display control CPU 70a displays an image (operation notification effect) of the first operation button 36 based on the operation valid command. The symbol display device 17 is controlled. Then, when the operation signal output by the operation (pressing) of the first operation button 36 is input to the overall control CPU 65a, the overall control CPU 65a displays the chase effect pattern and the continuous slash effect pattern corresponding to the lottery table T12. , T13, T14, T15, one is determined from a plurality of types (RB1 to RB3, SC1 to SC13). The image display surface 17a of the symbol display device 17 is informed of the possibility that a new attack (production) may be executed by operating the operation button 36, together with the image of the first operation button 36. A notification image (for example, a character string such as “If the button is pressed, can it be pursued?” Or “Can the button be pressed continuously?”) Is displayed. That is, display data indicating various notification images is stored in the display control ROM 70b, and the display control CPU 70a controls the symbol display device 17 to select and display the display data based on the operation valid command. It is configured as follows. In this embodiment, the notification image informing that there is a possibility that a new attack (effect) may be executed by operating the first operation button 36 will notify that the effect is not switched unless the operating means is operated. Is set as

  That is, the symbol display device 17 has a function as an operation notification means for executing an operation notification effect for notifying that the operation button (operation means) 36 is operable. The operation valid command output from the overall control CPU 65a is input to the lamp control board 72, and the lamp control board 72 is controlled to turn on the lamp device built in the first operation button 36. The player can be informed that the operation of the one operation button 36 is possible. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to notify that the operation of the first operation button 36 is possible even by an operation notification effect for lighting the lamp device, and the lamp device also executes the operation notification effect. It has a function as an operation notification means. Furthermore, the operation notification effect includes not only a display effect (the character string) displayed on the symbol display device 17 or a combination of lights from the lamp device 18 but also a speaker (operation notification means) 19. It may be a combination of output sounds.

  Next, in step E14, it is determined whether or not a special effect such as a follow-up effect or a continuous slash effect has been completed. The pattern determination mode is automatically switched from the manual mode to the automatic mode. If the determination result of step E14 is negative, the determination is repeated until the determination result of step E14 is affirmative. That is, in the present embodiment, the period in which the effect based on the operation battle effect pattern capable of executing the special effect is executed is an automatic mode invalid period in which the automatic mode switched by the overall control CPU 65a is invalid.

  In this way, when special effects such as follow-up effects and continuous slash effects can be executed in the automatic mode, the player can entertain the special effects by automatically switching from the automatic mode to the manual mode. The special effect can change the physical strength point. That is, even when the player selects the automatic mode, the player can participate in the selection of the effect that changes the effect value (physical strength point) related to whether or not the probability change notification effect is executed. Yes, it is possible to improve the interest by executing the special effect as in the case of selecting the manual mode. In addition, it is possible to prevent the production from becoming monotonous by continuing the automatic mode for a long time, and to widen the range of the production. Furthermore, even if the mode is switched from the automatic mode to the manual mode, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to automatically switch to the manual mode after the end of the special effect, so there is no need for the player to switch back to the automatic mode. Can be saved.

  In this embodiment, when the mode is switched to the automatic mode, the player is not notified that the operation of the first operation button 36 is enabled on the symbol display device 17 except for the automatic mode invalid period. Can be confused. In addition, even when in the automatic mode, when the overall control CPU 65a switches to the manual mode, it is configured to notify that the operation of the first operation button 36 is enabled by the symbol display device 17 or the lamp device. Further, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking that the first operation button 36 necessary for executing the special effect can be operated.

(About another example)
Next, regarding the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, only portions different from the above-described embodiment will be described. In another embodiment, in the battle block (specific period), the type of lottery table for drawing the battle effect pattern for operation is determined using the lottery table for automatic mode T18, and the operation is performed using the determined lottery table. A plurality of automatic lottery timings that can determine the battle effect pattern by lottery are set, and the overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to determine one of the plurality of automatic lottery timings by lottery. That is, the overall control CPU 65a has a function as timing determination means for determining an automatic lottery timing (specific effect determination timing) from among a plurality of automatic lottery timings (specific effect determination timing).

  In the overall control ROM 65b, a plurality of automatic lottery timings are set and stored in the battle operation effective period in the battle block. As the automatic lottery timing, a plurality of types having different elapsed times from the start of the battle operation valid period are set. In another embodiment, two automatic lottery timings TM1 and TM2 are set. Specifically, a first automatic lottery timing TM1 set in the first half of the battle operation valid period and a second automatic lottery timing TM2 set in the second half of the battle operation valid period are provided.

  In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 36, a plurality of types of operation battle effect patterns weak corresponding to weak attacks (weak operation buttons 36) that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a at the first automatic lottery timing TM1. The first timing lottery table for weak T20 (FIG. 36 (a)) in which ABT1 to weak ABT7 are set, and multiple types of operation battle effect patterns ABT1 to medium ABT7 corresponding to the medium attack (medium operation button 37a) are set. The first medium-use first timing lottery table T21 (FIG. 36 (b)) and the first strong use set with a plurality of types of operation battle effect patterns strong ABT1 to strong ABT7 corresponding to the strong attack (strong operation button 37b). A timing lottery table T22 (FIG. 36C) is stored. The overall control ROM 65b includes a plurality of types of operation battle effect patterns weak BBT1 to weak BBT7 corresponding to a weak attack (weak operation button 36) that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a in the case of the second automatic lottery timing TM2. The middle second set with a plurality of types of operation battle effect patterns BBT1 to BBT7 corresponding to the set weak second timing lottery table T23 (FIG. 36 (d)) and middle attack (middle operation button 37a). 2 timing lottery table T24 (FIG. 36 (e)), strong second timing lottery table T25 in which a plurality of types of operation battle effect patterns strong BBT1 to strong BBT7 corresponding to a strong attack (strong operation button 37b) are set. FIG. 36 (f)) is stored. In each of the lottery tables T20 to T25, similarly to the lottery tables T2 to T7 used in the manual mode, the selection ratio of each operation battle effect pattern according to the point patterns LP1 to LP49 (assignment of determination values). ) Are set differently.

  Here, the operation battle effect patterns weak ABT1 to weak ABT7 set in the weak first timing lottery table T20 are referred to as weak first operation battle effect patterns weak ABT1 to weak ABT7, and the medium first timing lottery. The operation battle effect patterns ABT1 to ABT7 set in the table T21 are referred to as medium first operation battle effect patterns ABT1 to ABT7, and the operation battle set in the strong first timing lottery table T22. The effect pattern strong ABT1 to strong ABT7 may be referred to as strong first operation battle effect pattern strong ABT1 to strong ABT7. Further, the operation battle effect pattern strong BBT1 to weak BBT7 set in the weak second timing lottery table T23 are referred to as weak second operation battle effect patterns weak BBT1 to weak BBT7, and the medium second timing lottery table. The operation battle effect patterns BBT1 to BBT7 set in T24 are designated as medium second operation battle effect patterns BBT1 to BBT7, and the operation battle effects set in the strong second timing lottery table T25. The pattern strong BBT1 to strong BBT7 may be referred to as strong second operation battle effect pattern strong BBT1 to strong BBT7. The specific contents of the battle effects specified by the weak first operation battle effect patterns weak ABT1 to weak ABT7 set in the weak first timing lottery table T20 and the weak second timing lottery table T23 are set. The weak second operation battle effect pattern is set so that the specific content of the battle effect specified by weak BBT1 to weak BBT7 is different. Further, the specific contents of the battle effects specified by the medium first operation battle effect patterns ABT1 to ABT7 set in the medium first timing lottery table T21 and the medium second timing lottery table T24 are set. In addition, the specific content of the battle effect specified by the middle second battle effect pattern middle BBT1 to middle BBT7 is set differently. Furthermore, the specific content of the battle effect specified by the strong first operation battle effect pattern strong ABT1 to strong ABT7 set in the strong first timing lottery table T22 and the strong second timing lottery table T25 are set. The strong second operation battle effect pattern strong BBT1 to strong BBT7 are set to be different from the specific contents of the battle effect. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment, the type of the battle battle effect pattern that can be determined (effect content) is set different depending on the timing of selecting the battle battle effect pattern (selecting the lottery table). ing.

(About lottery of automatic lottery timing)
In the pachinko machine 10 of another embodiment, the timing control lottery in which the overall control CPU 65a determines one of a plurality of types of automatic lottery timings for determining an operation battle effect pattern at the timing when the battle operation effective period starts. Configured to do. The timing determination lottery is configured such that the overall control CPU 65a determines one of the automatic lottery timings TM1 and TM2 using a random number and a determination value stored in the overall control ROM 65b. That is, the overall control CPU 65a obtains a random number at the timing of the start of the battle operation effective period, and the obtained random number value is stored in each automatic lottery timing TM1, TM2 of the timing lottery table T19 shown in FIG. One of the automatic lottery timings TM1 and TM2 is determined in comparison with the distributed determination value.

(About lottery for operation battle production patterns)
In the pachinko machine 10 of another embodiment, at the first automatic lottery timing TM1 or the second automatic lottery timing TM2 determined by the timing determination lottery, the overall control CPU 65a uses the automatic mode lottery table T18 as in the embodiment. The operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery using the determined types of timing lottery tables T20 to T25. In the lottery of the operation battle effect pattern, the overall control CPU 65a determines the operation battle effect pattern using the random number and the determination value stored in the overall control ROM 65b as in the embodiment. That is, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the first automatic lottery timing TM1, the overall control CPU 65a acquires a table lottery random number at the lottery timing TM1 and automatically obtains the value of the acquired table lottery random number. Compared with the table lottery determination value set in the mode lottery table T18, the type of the lottery table is determined by lottery.

  Next, the overall control CPU 65a acquires a random number for lottery of the operation battle effect pattern at the timing when the type of the lottery table (for weak attack, medium attack, and strong attack) for drawing the operation battle effect pattern is determined. Then, the operation random effect pattern is determined by comparing the acquired random number value with the determination values set in the timing lottery tables T20 to T25 corresponding to the determined lottery table type. For example, when the first automatic lottery timing TM1 is determined by the timing determination lottery and the lottery table for weak attack is determined as the type of the lottery table, the weak first timing lottery shown in FIG. The weak first operation battle effect patterns weak ABT1 to weak ABT7 are determined by comparing the determination values assigned to the weak first operation battle effect patterns weak ABT1 to weak ABT7 in the table T20 with random numbers. To do. If the lottery table for medium attack is determined as the type of the lottery table, the middle first operation battle effect patterns ABT1 to ABT7 in the middle first timing lottery table T21 shown in FIG. Are compared with the random number, and one of the medium first operation battle effect patterns ABT1 to ABT7 is determined. Further, when the lottery table for medium attack is determined as the type of the lottery table, each strong first operation battle effect pattern strong ABT1 to strong ABT7 in the strong first timing lottery table T22 shown in FIG. Are compared with random numbers, and one of the strong first operation battle effect patterns strong ABT1 to strong ABT7 is determined.

  Further, when the second automatic lottery timing TM2 is determined by the timing determination lottery, the type of the lottery table determined by the table lottery (for weak attack, medium, as in the case where the first automatic lottery timing TM1 is determined). The second operation battle effect patterns weak BBT1 to weak BBT, medium BBT1 to medium BBT, and strong BBT1 to strong BBT7 are determined using the second timing lottery tables T23, T24, and T25 corresponding to the attack and the strong attack). .

  That is, the pachinko machine 10 according to another embodiment is configured to set a plurality of automatic lottery timings capable of determining battle effects in the battle block and to vary the types of operation battle effect patterns that can be determined at each automatic lottery timing. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy different battle effects depending on the timing at which the operation battle effect pattern is determined, and the fun of the game is improved. The first timing lottery tables T20, T21, T22 and the second timing lottery tables T23, T24, T25 are similar to the case of the lottery table for lottering the operation battle effect patterns BT1 to BT7 in the manual mode. A winning lottery table used when the player character can win as a result of the production and a timing lottery table for defeat used when the player character loses as a result of the battle production are provided. And in the automatic mode operation battle production pattern weak ABT1 to weak ABT7, medium ABT1 to medium ABT7, strong ABT1 to strong ABT7, weak BBT1 to weak BBT7, medium BBT1 to medium BBT7, strong BBT1 to strong BBT7, Depending on the scenario C1 to C4 determined by the overall control CPU 65a, a winning lottery or defeating timing lottery table is selectively used. The difference between the winning timing lottery table and the defeating timing lottery table is similar to the operation winning lottery table and the operation defeat lottery table described above, and the operation battle effect pattern weak ABT1 set in each timing lottery table. The distribution of judgment values is only different for weak ABT7, medium ABT1 to medium ABT7, strong ABT1 to strong ABT7, weak BBT1 to weak BBT7, medium BBT1 to medium BBT7, and strong BBT1 to strong BBT7.

[Example of change]
The present application is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and other configurations can be appropriately employed.
(1) The number of scenarios and various production patterns determined by lottery in the embodiment is not limited to the number shown in the embodiment, and an arbitrary number can be set.
(2) In the embodiment, the subtraction value of the physical strength point (effect value) is changed depending on the type of the operation button to be operated. However, the operation button can be operated by pressing one operation button for a long time or performing a plurality of short presses. The subtraction value of the physical strength point (effect value) can be changed depending on the way of pressing. That is, the operation mode of the operation unit includes a mode in which the operation unit can be distinguished, such as a difference in the type of the operation unit and a method of operating the operation unit. Further, the operation means is not limited to the button form, and various known forms can be adopted.
(3) In the embodiment, the added value to be added to the anger point in the third point storage unit when the enemy character hits his character is preset according to the type of the operation button. A configuration may be adopted in which an added value is determined by lottery based on a random number and a determination value using a set anger point table.
(4) The subtraction value of the physical strength point and the addition value of the anger meter set for each operation button are not limited to the numerical values in the embodiment. Further, the number of operation buttons (the number of operation modes of the operation means that can be distinguished) is not limited to three in the embodiment, but may be two or four or more for each operation mode. It is only necessary to set a subtraction value or an addition value.
(5) In the embodiment, one subtraction value and addition value are set for each operation button, but a plurality of subtraction values and addition values are set for each operation button, and one lottery is selected from the plurality of subtraction values and addition values. You may comprise so that a subtraction value and an addition value may be determined. In this case, it is desirable that a plurality of subtraction values and addition values set for each operation button do not overlap. For example, a plurality of integer values between 10 and 20 points are set as subtraction values for the weak operation button (weak attack), and a plurality of values between 30 and 40 points are set as the subtraction value for the middle operation button (medium attack). A plurality of integer values between 70 and 80 points may be set as subtraction values for the strong operation button (strong attack).
(6) In the embodiment, when a weak operation button and a middle operation button are operated (pressed), special effects such as a continuous slash effect and a follow-up effect can be selected by lottery. Even when the button is operated (pressed), it is possible to select a special effect in which a continuous slash effect, a follow-up effect, or other special attack specific to the strong operation button is selected by lottery.

(7) In the embodiment, the battle effect pattern is determined in the battle effect so that the result specified in the scenario (for example, the health point of the second point storage unit is 0 point) is determined. The result of the presentation may not match the result specified in the scenario. For example, in the scenario, when it is specified that the physical strength point of the second point storage unit is 0 point as a result of the battle effect, the second point is stored depending on the combination of the types of operation buttons operated by the player in the battle effect. The battle effect may end when the physical strength point of the part is 10 points. That is, the final physical strength point of each point storage unit may depend on the combination of the types of operation buttons operated by the player.
(8) The number of point patterns is not limited to 49 types in the embodiment, and the interrelationship between the physical strength points of the first point storage unit and the physical strength points of the second point storage unit in each point pattern It is not limited to the thing of an Example.
(9) In the embodiment, a common point pattern is set in each lottery table, but the interrelationship between the physical strength point of the first point storage unit and the physical strength point of the second point storage unit differs depending on the type of effect pattern to be selected. A point pattern may be set.
(10) In the embodiment, as a lottery table used for lottery of various production patterns, a battle lottery table, a success lottery table, and a battle defeat effect used when a battle victory effect is possible (your character can win) Defeat lottery table and failure lottery table used in the case of a character defeat), but also used when the result is a draw between the own character and the enemy character that does not perform any battle victory or battle defeat effects It is possible to set a plurality of types of lottery tables that can be selectively used according to various conditions such as a draw lottery table for drawing and a winning lottery table used when the player's character wins.
(11) In the embodiment, the physical strength meter or the anger meter is configured so that the lighting area changes according to the change of the corresponding point, but the emission color changes or the shape changes according to the change of the physical strength point or the anger point. Any mode can be used as long as the player can recognize the change, such as a change (for example, an image changes as x → Δ → ○).

(12) In the embodiment, the player character attacks and succeeds as a battle effect pattern set in the lottery table used when the operation button is operated (when the operation determination means is affirmative) during the battle operation effective period. Set the pattern (pattern where the attack hits an enemy character and subtract health points) and the pattern that fails (a pattern where the attack cannot subtract health points without hitting the enemy character) and the battle operation validity period As a battle production pattern set in the lottery table used when the operation button is not operated (when the operation determination means is negative), a pattern in which the enemy character attacks and succeeds (attack hits his character and hits the physical strength Patterns that can subtract points) and patterns that fail (patterns that cannot subtract health points without the attack hitting your character) It was set up, but is not limited to this as a battle effect pattern that is set in each lottery table. For example, in each lottery table used when the operation button is operated and not operated, the battle effect pattern (second normal effect) that the player character attacks and succeeds, the battle effect pattern that fails, and the enemy character succeeds and attacks. The battle production pattern (first normal production) and the battle production pattern to be failed are set, respectively, and in the lottery table used at the time of operation, the player character is more successful than the battle production pattern (first normal production) that the enemy character attacks and succeeds. The decision value is distributed so that the ratio of the battle production pattern (second normal production) that succeeds in attacking is selected, whereas in the lottery table used during non-operation, the player's character attacks and succeeds. The battle production pattern (first normal production) that the enemy character attacks and succeeds is selected rather than the battle production pattern (second normal production) It may employ a configuration for distributing the determination value as the rate is increased to be.

(13) In the embodiment, the battle victory effect displayed on the symbol display device as a result of the battle effect is configured to notify that the probable state is given after the end of the big hit game. As a thing, it can be used not only for a probable change state but also for notifying other advantageous matters for the player, such as that the big hit game is a game with many outgoing balls or that a change state is given.
(14) In the embodiment, the battle effect is performed during the big hit game. Also good. And when performing a battle production as a symbol variation production, it can be reported that it develops into a reach, a super reach, etc. by a battle victory production.

In this case, it is configured to notify that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends, but when the display of the second physical strength meter and the anger meter is in a specific display state, a different gaming state A configuration for informing may be employed. For example, when the display of the second physical strength meter is in a specific display state, the symbol display device performs an effect of notifying that the game state after the end of the big hit game is in a probabilistic / shortening state. When the display on the meter is in a specific display state, the symbol display device may perform an effect informing that the game state after the end of the big hit game is in a probabilistic / non-variable state. it can.
(16) In the embodiment, the description was given in the case of the battle effect form in which the player character and the enemy character battle each other as the effect executed on the symbol display device, but an effect that differs in form depending on whether or not the operation means is operated. For example, a shooting effect or other effects may be used.

(17) In the embodiment, the first start winning means (first start winning opening) that allows a game ball to win with a certain probability, and the second start winning means (second start winning prize) that can change the winning probability of the game ball. And a detecting means (starting winning detection sensor) for each starting winning means to individually detect the winning of the game ball, the winning of the first and second starting winning means The detection means may be shared. In other words, the first start winning means may not be distinguished from the second start winning means.
(18) In the embodiment, all or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided by the sub-control means (overall control CPU), or on the contrary, all of the functions of the sub-control means or A part may be provided in the main control means. In the embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (overall control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the main control unit and the sub control unit in the embodiment may be provided in a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Furthermore, a separate control board may be provided, and all or part of the functions of the main control means and sub-control means of the embodiment may be provided in another control means. That is, the overall control CPU can function as a winning game execution means.
(19) The display control means (display control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions provided in the overall control means (overall control CPU) in the embodiment, and on the contrary, all the functions provided in the display control means or A part may be provided in the overall control means. In the embodiment, the overall control board (overall control CPU) and the display control board (display control CPU) are separately provided. However, a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the overall control unit and the display control unit in the embodiment may be provided in a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Similarly, the overall control unit can also be used for the lamp control unit that performs light emission control and the sound control unit that performs sound output control.
(20) In the embodiment, the state in which the first privilege gaming state is given is set as the probability variation state, but is not limited to this, and the state in which the first privilege gaming state and the second privilege gaming state are combined is definitely varied. It can also be in a state. In this case, a state in which neither the first privilege gaming state nor the second privilege gaming state is given can be set to the non-probable change state.
(21) The gaming machine is not limited to a pachinko machine and may be other various gaming machines such as an arrangement ball machine or a slot machine using a pachinko ball.

(22) In the embodiment, the pressing signal when the operation button is pressed is configured to be output to the overall control CPU of the overall control board. However, all or part of the functions of the overall control board (overall control CPU) are displayed. When configured to be provided in the control board (display control CPU), a configuration in which a press signal from the operation button is output to the display control CPU may be employed.
(23) In the embodiment, the configuration is such that the small hit determination is performed when the result of the big hit determination is negative, but the configuration where the small hit determination is performed first and the big hit determination is performed when the result of the small hit determination is negative It may be. Alternatively, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a big hit and a small hit are determined at a time by one random number acquired when a pachinko ball wins a winning prize opening. That is, it is only necessary to determine whether or not the big hit or the small win is won by comparing the determination value distributed to the big hit and the small hit with the acquired random number. In this case, if the winning value is determined in combination with the determination of success or failure of the big hit or the small hit by assigning the judgment value to the big hit symbol corresponding to the type of the big hit game and the small hit symbol corresponding to the type of the small hit game. The types of winning games (big hit games and small hit games) may also be determined.
(24) In the embodiment, the enemy character is determined (selected) by the button operation in the big hit game, but the general control CPU may determine the enemy character by random number lottery. In this case, an enemy character lottery table with different enemy character selection ratios for each type of jackpot game is prepared, and the general control CPU sets the enemy character lottery random number and enemy character lottery table acquired at the enemy character lottery timing. The enemy character may be determined by comparing with the determined determination value. In addition, the distribution ratio of the judgment value in each enemy character lottery table is set so that an enemy character that is easy to select and an enemy character that is difficult to select are generated according to the type of jackpot game with different profits to the player can do. For example, an enemy character that is likely to be selected in the case of a probable big hit is set with a distribution ratio of determination values in each enemy character lottery table so that it is difficult to select in the case of a non-probable big hit.
Also, the type of enemy character set in the enemy character lottery table used for each type of jackpot game may be different.
(25) In the embodiment, the added value of the anger point differs depending on the type of operation button (direction type), but the added value of the angry point may also differ depending on the type of the own character or enemy character. . That is, the anger point table shown in FIG. 13 is set for each type of own character or enemy character, and the added value of the anger point set for each attack type in each table is different (only a part is different from the case where all are different). It is possible to cope with this by making it different. By setting in this way, depending on the type of character (own character and enemy character), the method of winning or losing in the battle effect is characteristic, so the range of the effect can be expanded and the interest can be improved. Further, an anger point table in which the added value of the anger point is different for each type of jackpot game may be set for each type of own character or enemy character.
(26) In the embodiment, the description has been given of the case of the gaming machine in which the probability variation big hit and the non-probability variation big hit are set, but the so-called ST machine in which all the big hits are the probability variation big hits and the upper limit is set for the number of times of the probability variation state It may be.

(27) In the embodiment, the type of operation battle effect pattern that can be determined in the manual mode and the type of operation battle effect pattern that can be determined in the automatic mode have been described in common. Also good. For example, by setting a special operation battle effect pattern (such as an effect pattern for specifying a premium effect) that can be determined only in the manual mode in the corresponding lottery table, it is possible to motivate the player to participate in the game. . The special operation battle effect pattern is set in each lottery table so that it can be determined in either the manual mode or the automatic mode, and the probability that the special operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery is set in the automatic mode. The determination value distribution in the lottery table may be set so that the manual mode is higher than the case.
(28) The probability that the successful presentation of the player character will be determined by the lottery using the lottery table used in the manual mode, and the probability that the successful presentation of the player character will be determined by the lottery using the lottery table used in the automatic mode. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the determination value is distributed so as to be higher. In this configuration, it is more successful for the player to determine the operation battle effect pattern by operating the operation button in the manual mode than when the operation battle effect pattern is automatically determined in the automatic mode. Since the probability of determining the battle battle effect pattern for operation corresponding to (the effect of changing the effect value related to whether or not the probability change notification effect is executed) is increased, the player's willingness to participate in the game is further evoked. be able to.
(29) In the embodiment, the lottery table for the automatic mode used in the automatic mode is set only for the lottery table for which the operation battle effect pattern is set, but the lottery table for which the non-operation battle effect pattern is set can also be lottery. You may make it set to. Further, in the automatic mode, it is determined whether or not the operation battle effect pattern is determined at the automatic lottery timing. If the result is affirmative, the operation battle effect is determined by lottery using the lottery table in which the operation battle effect pattern is set. In addition to determining the pattern, in the case of negative, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a non-operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery using the non-operation lottery table used in the manual mode.

(30) In lottery corresponding to the type of lottery table determined after the table lottery is performed using the lottery table for automatic mode in the embodiment and another embodiment in the lottery of the operation battle effect pattern in the automatic mode. Although the operation battle effect pattern is determined by lottery using the table, a configuration in which the type of the lottery table and the operation battle effect pattern are determined at a time may be employed. In other words, in the lottery table used in the automatic mode, multiple types of battle operation patterns for weak operation with a weak attack (effect corresponding to operation of the weak operation button), medium attack (when the intermediate operation button is operated) Set a plurality of types of battle operation patterns for medium operation and a strong attack (production corresponding to operation of the operation buttons) A predetermined number of determination values are assigned to each of the plurality of types of operation battle effect patterns. According to this configuration, by comparing the random number acquired at the automatic lottery timing with the determination value set in the lottery table used in the automatic mode, the battle effect pattern for weak operation, the battle effect pattern for middle operation, and the strong operation One production pattern can be determined from among the battle production patterns.
(31) In the example and the other examples, the ratios for determining the types of lottery tables (three types in the examples and other examples) in the table lottery in the automatic mode are set equally. Good. For example, according to the result of the battle effect set in the scenario, when the result is set as the defeat of the player character, the determination value is set so that the ratio for determining the lottery table for weak attacks is increased. In contrast to using the distributed lottery table, if the result is set as the victory of the player's own character, the lottery table in which the determination values are distributed so that the ratio of determining the lottery table for strong attacks is increased. What is necessary is just to comprise so that it may be used.
(32) With the operation button image displayed on the image display surface of the symbol display device, when the operation button provided on the pachinko machine is operated (pressed), the displayed operation button image is emitted. A configuration for notifying on the image display surface that the operation button has been operated may be employed. That is, when an operation signal from the operation button is input to the overall control CPU, the display control CPU displays an image of the operation button emitted on the image display surface based on the control command output from the overall control CPU. What is necessary is just to comprise so that a symbol display apparatus may be controlled.
(33) In the embodiment, the lottery table used for lottery of the operation battle effect pattern is shared for each battle effect in a plurality of battle blocks, but the distribution of the judgment value for the operation battle effect pattern is different for each battle block. A lottery table can be used.
(34) In the embodiment, the lottery table used for the lottery of the operation battle effect pattern is common for each battle effect in the battle block, but the lottery table differs in the distribution of the judgment value for the operation battle effect pattern for each battle effect. Can be used.
(35) In another embodiment, the number of automatic lottery timings (specific effect determination timings) is two, but may be three or more. The number of operation battle effect patterns set in each timing lottery table shown in FIG. 36 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. Also, the types of operation battle effect patterns set in the timing lottery table corresponding to each automatic lottery timing may not be all different, but only some may be different.
