Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize sharp games without reducing game property.SOLUTION: Based on first and second specific character starting reservation information obtained upon detection by first and second starting win detection sensors, pattern varying performance and determination for win are executed by a pattern displaying device and a predetermined number of the first and second specific character starting reservation information is stored in a main control RAM. In addition, depending on the number of the first and second starting reservation information stored in the main control RAM, a changing period in the pattern varying performance is generated so as to be able to be shortened. Win games which may be determined when a determination for win is obtained under an unchanged short mode triggered by detection by the first starting win detection sensor comprise specific win games set in the shortest period within an additional period which may be added subsequent to the win games. When the specific win games are determined, independently of the number of the stored first and second starting reservation information, the changing period in the pattern varying performance within a time period at which a changing mode is added is set longer than the longest changing period for normal pattern variable display performed on a normal pattern displaying part.

Description

  In the present invention, a symbol variation effect is executed in the first symbol display unit in accordance with the detection of the game ball by the first detection unit and the second detection unit, and the game ball is detected by the third detection unit. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a gaming machine configured to execute a symbol variation effect in the second symbol display means.

  A pachinko machine, which is a typical game machine, is designed to play a pachinko ball in a game area defined on the game board. Then, when the ball detection sensor detects a pachinko ball that has won a winning opening provided in the game board, a random value for winning determination (winning information) is acquired, and the random value is set in advance. A hit determination is made to determine whether or not the hit determination value matches. The game board is equipped with a liquid crystal display and drum display, etc. that can display various symbols in a variable manner (symbol display means), and the winning information that is acquired when the pachinko ball is won at the start opening. The symbol display effect is performed on the symbol display device based on the result, and the final display according to the determination result of the hit determination is displayed on the symbol display device as a fixed stop, thereby generating a winning game (big hit game or small hit game). It is configured to allow the player to recognize whether or not. If the result of the hit determination is a win, the hit game (big hit game or small hit game) in which the open / close door (opening / closing means) opens and closes a special winning opening (special winning means) provided in the game board. Is provided to give players an opportunity to win prize balls.

  In addition, recent pachinko machines have a fixed start opening (first entrance opening) that always opens with a constant opening width, and a variable start opening (second entrance opening) whose opening width can be changed by opening and closing means. Many things provided in the game board have been proposed. In such a pachinko machine, a gate (third entrance) through which a pachinko ball flowing down the game board can pass is provided at a predetermined position of the game board, and the gate sensor detects the pachinko ball passing through the gate. As a result, it is determined whether or not the variable start port is to be opened. It is configured as follows.

JP 2004-283610 A

  By the way, in the conventional pachinko machine, the contents of the privilege given to the player (for example, that can be obtained by winning game) when the pachinko ball wins at the fixed start port and when the pachinko ball wins at the variable start port It is known that it is configured to provide superiority or inferiority in the number of winning balls and whether or not a variable state is given after winning a game. Many pachinko machines are configured so that a clear game can be performed by increasing the privilege content obtained when winning a variable start opening with a variable pachinko ball winning probability. However, when increasing the superiority or inferiority of the privilege content given according to the starting point where the pachinko ball wins, it is necessary to reduce the game opportunity accompanying the winning of the pachinko ball to the starting point with a large privilege content and balance it Yes, it can lead to a loss of playability.

  That is, the present invention has been proposed to solve this problem in view of the above-described problems inherent in the gaming machine according to the prior art, and is a gaming machine capable of playing a well-defined game without impairing gaming characteristics. The purpose is to provide.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention according to claim 1 of the present application is
A first entrance (34) for detecting a game ball entering the first entrance (30) and a second entrance (33) provided with an opening / closing means (33) for changing the entrance mode of the game ball. 31) The second detection means (35) for detecting the game ball that has entered the ball and the first detection means (34) and the detection by the second detection means (35) as a trigger Whether or not a hit game is triggered by the detection by either the first symbol display means (17) where the symbol variation effect is performed, and the first detection means (34) or the second detection means (35) If the determination result of the first hit determination means (60a) for determining whether the first hit determination means (60a) is affirmative, the hit determination for determining the hit game to be given from a plurality of types of hit games Triggered by the detection by the game determining means (60a), the third detecting means (49) for detecting the game ball entering the third entrance (48), and the detection by the third detecting means (49). 2 design variation performance Whether to open / close the opening / closing means (33) of the second entrance (31) triggered by the detection of the second symbol display means (55) and the third detection means (49). A second hit determination means (60a) for determining
When the determination of the first hit determination means (60a) is affirmative, the hit game determined by the hit game determination means (60a) is given, and the determination of the second hit determination means (60a) is positive In this case, in the gaming machine configured to open the opening / closing means (33) of the second entrance (31) to enable winning to the second entrance (31),
Incoming information acquisition means (60a) for acquiring ingress information triggered by detection of the first detecting means (34) and the second detecting means (35);
The entrance information acquired by the entrance information acquisition means (60a) triggered by the detection of the first detection means (34) is stored as a predetermined number of first start suspension information, and the second detection means ( 35) Hold storage means (60c) for storing a predetermined number of pieces of entrance information acquired by the entrance information acquisition means (60a) triggered by the detection of 35) as second start suspension information;
In accordance with the type of winning game determined by the winning game determining means (60a), the first winning determining means (60a) determines to give a probability change state in which the probability of affirmation becomes high after the winning game. First gaming state determining means (60a) to perform,
In accordance with the type of the winning game determined by the winning game determining means (60a), a winning rate improvement state is given in which the probability that a winning game ball will win the second entrance (31) after the winning game is high. Second game state determining means (60a) for determining
A period determining means (60a) for determining a period for giving a winning rate improvement state after winning a game when the winning rate improvement state is given,
Based on the first start hold information and the second start hold information stored in the hold storing means (60c), the first symbol display means (17) performs the first symbol variation effect and the first The hit determination means (60a) is configured to make a determination,
According to the number of the first start hold information and the second start hold information stored in the hold storage means (60c), the first symbol change effect performed by the first symbol display means (17). It is configured to reduce the fluctuation time,
Compared to the case where the determination of the first hit determination means (60a) becomes affirmative by the detection of the first detection means (34), the detection of the second detection means (35) is triggered. If the determination of the first hit determination means (60a) is affirmative, the second game state determination means (60a) is set to increase the rate at which the winning percentage improvement state is determined,
As the winning game that can be determined by the winning game determination means (60a) when the determination of the winning determination means becomes affirmative in the non-winning rate improvement state, the shortest period among the grant periods that can be given after the winning game is given A specific winning game determined by the period determining means (60a) to be set is set,
When the winning game determining means (60a) determines a specific winning game in the non-winning rate improving state triggered by the detection of the first detecting means (34), the holding storage means (60c) stores it. Regardless of the number of stored first start hold information and second start hold information, the first symbol display means (17) is used while the winning rate improvement state is given after the end of the specific winning game. The gist is that the variation time of the first symbol variation effect is set to be longer than the longest variation time of the second symbol variation effect performed by the second symbol display means (55).
Thus, compared with the case where the winning game is generated based on the first start hold information triggered by the detection of the first detecting means corresponding to the first entrance, it corresponds to the second entrance. In the case where a winning game is generated based on the second start hold information triggered by the detection of the second detecting means, the possibility that the winning rate improvement state is given after the winning game is finished is increased. Thus, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation that the hit game will continue after the hit game is generated based on the second start-up hold information. And, when a specific winning game is determined based on the first start hold information in the non-winning rate improvement state, while the winning rate improvement state is given after the end of the specific winning game, Since the variation time of the first symbol variation effect is longer than the longest variation time of the second symbol variation effect, one or more times of the second entrance entrance are given while the winning rate improvement state is given. Open opportunities can be secured. Therefore, when a specific winning game is determined based on the first start hold information in the non-winning rate improvement state, the win game is generated based on the second start hold information corresponding to the second entrance. The expectation that will be made increases, and the interest of the game can be improved.
For this reason, superiority or inferiority in the privilege content given to the player when the winning game is granted based on the first start hold information and when the hit game is given based on the second start hold information Even if it is provided, the expectation for the first symbol variation effect performed based on the first start hold information is not impaired, and a sharp game is possible.
Further, during the grant period of the winning rate improvement state given after the end of a specific winning game, the first start hold information and the second start hold information stored in the hold storage means are stored regardless of the number of stored start start information. By making the variation time of the first symbol variation effect longer than the longest variation time of the second symbol variation effect, the game ball enters the second entrance in a state where the winning rate is improved after a specific winning game. The interest of the game can be improved without detracting from the expectation. On the other hand, in a period other than the period in which the winning rate improvement state after a specific winning game is given, the first symbol is stored in accordance with the number of first start hold information and second start hold information stored in the hold storage means. By making it possible to shorten the variation time of the variation effect, the game can be advanced lightly.

The invention according to claim 2
When the specific winning game is determined, the period determining means (60a) determines the winning rate improvement state determined by the period determining means (60a), and the first symbol variation effect performed once after the specific winning game ends The gist is that it is set to the period to be displayed.
In this way, when the specific winning game is determined, the winning rate improvement state is given while the first symbol variation effect is performed once after the specific winning game is finished. The interest in the game ball entering the second entrance can be increased while the first symbol variation effect is performed once, and the interest of the game can be improved. Even if the winning rate improvement state is given while one symbol variation effect is performed after the end of a specific winning game, the variation time of the first symbol variation effect is longer than the second symbol variation effect. Since it is longer than the longest variation time, it is possible to perform a clear game without impairing the expectation that a game ball will enter the second entrance.

The invention according to claim 3
When the determination of the first hit determination means (60a) becomes affirmative based on the second start hold information, the second hit regardless of the gaming state at the time when the determination is affirmative. The gist is that the gaming state determination means (60a) is configured to determine the provision of the winning rate improvement state.
As described above, when the determination of the first hit determination means becomes affirmative based on the second start hold information, the winning percentage improvement state is always given, so that it is given after the end of a specific win game. In the state where the winning rate is improved, it is possible to further increase the interest in game balls entering the second entrance.

The invention according to claim 4
Based on the first start hold information and the second start hold information, the design variation effect determining means (65a) for determining the effect contents of the first symbol change effect performed by the first symbol display means (17). )When,
When the determination result of the first winning determination means (60a) is affirmative, the winning game effect content to be performed in the winning game is determined according to the type of winning game determined by the winning game determination means (60a) A hit game effect determining means (65a),
As the specific winning game, the first gaming state determination means (60a) determines that the certain probability variation state is to be given, and the first gaming state determination means (60a) does not grant the probability variation state. Specific non-probability games to be determined are set,
When the winning game determining means (60a) determines either a specific probability variation game or a specific non-probability variable game, the symbol variation effect determining means (65a) selects one of the same effect content groups. The gist is that the content of the effect is determined, and that the winning game effect determining means (65a) is configured to determine one effect content from the same winning game effect content group.
As described above, when one of a specific probability variation game and a specific non-probability variation game is determined, the type of the winning game is determined from the content of the first symbol variation effect and the content of the winning game in the winning game. Since it becomes difficult to play, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation that a hit game will be triggered by entering the second entrance in a state where the winning rate is improved after the completion of a specific win game.

The invention according to claim 5
The privilege content obtained by the hit game given based on the second start hold information is larger than the privilege content obtained by the win game given based on the first start hold information. The gist is set.
As described above, when the winning game is awarded based on the first start hold information and when the hit game is given based on the second start hold information, the privilege content given to the player is superior or inferior. Even if provided, there is no loss of expectation for the symbol variation effect performed based on the first start hold information, and a sharp game is possible.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when a winning game is awarded based on the first start hold information triggered by the detection of the first detection means, and triggered by the detection of the second detection means. Even when a winning game is awarded based on the second start-up hold information, even if superiority or inferiority is provided in the privilege content given to the player, a well-rounded game can be performed without impairing the gaming property.

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 combination of symbol patterns 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). In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko balls to the second start winning opening 31 is improved.

  In the embodiment, the normal map display unit 55 in the variable state is shorter than the change time of the normal map change display performed in the general map display unit 55 in the non-changed state (hereinafter referred to as the non-changed normal map change time). The change time of the normal map change display to be performed (hereinafter referred to as the change normal time change time) is set to a shorter time, and the normal map change display to be executed in the general map display unit 55 with the addition of the change state. The fluctuation time is reduced. Specifically, in the embodiment, the non-variable normal time fluctuation time is set to 2000 ms, and the variable time normal time fluctuation time is set to 820 ms. In addition, the probability per universal figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (in the embodiment, 1/65536), and the probability per universal figure in the variable state is set to a high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). It is set, and the probability per universal figure varies from a low probability to a high probability with the provision of the variable state. In the embodiment, 700 ms is set between the time when the normal map is confirmed and stopped and the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval).

  That is, when the pachinko sphere is caused to flow down in the first sphere flow path in the non-variable short state, the determination trigger for the normal map hit determination by the main control CPU 60a is increased as compared with the case where the pachinko sphere is caused to flow down in the second sphere flow path. In addition, in the variable speed state, the main control CPU 60a has a determination trigger for determining the hit per map as compared with the case where the pachinko sphere is caused to flow down the second sphere flow path and the pachinko sphere is caused to flow down to the first sphere flow path. It is configured to increase.

  In the state where the variable state is applied, the opening / closing member 33 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in the state where the variable state is not given, when a win is selected in the normal map display (in the case of a normal map), a predetermined time (200 ms in the embodiment) has elapsed after the opening / closing member 33 is opened. An opening operation is performed once to maintain the opening state until the time has elapsed. On the other hand, in the state in which the variable state is assigned, when the normal map change display is won (in the case of the normal map), the open / close member 33 is kept open until a predetermined open time elapses. The opening operation to maintain is performed 5 times. Specifically, the opening operation of 896 ms, 960 ms, 960 ms, 960 ms, and 1024 ms is performed, and the interval time during which the opening and closing member 33 is held in the closed state during each opening operation is set to 640 ms, 560 ms, 560 ms, and 560 ms. Has been. That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing member 33 is longer than in the state where the variable state is not given, and it is set to operate advantageously for the player. . In addition, a maximum number of winnings (three in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second start winning port 31 per one ordinary figure is set, and the number of winnings after opening the opening / closing member 33 is set. When the upper limit number of winnings (closing condition) is reached, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 33 is forcibly terminated and closed.

  Here, according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2 as a jackpot display) that won the jackpot, it is configured to determine the period (hereinafter referred to as the number of times of shortening) for which the variable state is given. Yes. In addition, the number of times of change to which a change state is given may change depending not only on the jackpot symbol but also on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot determination (i.e. whether it is a probable change state or whether it is a change state). It is configured. In the embodiment, when the big hit determination is won by the detection of the pachinko ball by the first start winning detection sensor 34 (that is, the winning of the pachinko ball to the first start winning opening 30), the type of the big hit symbol and the big hit determination are determined. The number of times of change is determined according to the gaming state at the time of winning. Then, when the big hit determination is won by the detection of the pachinko ball by the second start winning detection sensor 35 (that is, the winning of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31), the number of times of change depending on the type of the big hit symbol Is determined. Note that the relationship between the type of jackpot symbol won for the jackpot and the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot determination and the number of times of change given after the jackpot game will be described in detail later.

Further, the interval time between rounds of the eighth, ninth and tenth jackpot games is set to “1.5 (seconds)”. As described above, the eighth, ninth and tenth jackpot games are the most obtainable among the types of jackpot games set in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment in the same manner as the sixth and seventh jackpot games described above. It is set as a big hit game with many prize balls. As described above, the 8th to 10th jackpot games are bonus contents obtained by the sixth and seventh jackpot games among the jackpot games determined based on the second special figure start hold information (the jackpot Accordingly, the winning game (third winning game) set to be lower than the number of winning balls that can be acquired and the gaming state after the big winning game). In the embodiment, in the eighth to tenth big hit games, the number of prize balls that can be obtained with the big hit game is set equal to that of the sixth and seventh big hit games, while after the big hit game The certainty state is not given, and the privilege content obtained is set to be low by shortening the grant period (number of times of change) in the change state.

  That is, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a second hit as compared with the case where the hit determination (big hit determination) based on the first special figure start hold information triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 is affirmative. When the hit determination (big hit determination) based on the second special figure start hold information triggered by the detection of the start winning detection sensor 35 becomes affirmative, the ratio at which the main control CPU 60a determines to give the variable state increases. It is set as follows. Further, when the hit determination (big hit determination) is affirmative based on the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a is changed regardless of the gaming state at the time when the determination is affirmative. Determine the status grant. In addition, for each of the first to tenth big hit games, a hit game effect pattern (hit game effect contents) that can be executed in each big hit game is determined, and according to the type of the big hit game determined by the main control CPU 60a, The overall control CPU 65a determines a winning game effect pattern to be performed in the big hit game. That is, the overall control CPU 65a according to the embodiment determines the content of the winning game effect to be performed in the winning game according to the determined type of the winning game when the determination result of the winning determination by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative. It functions as a game effect determining means. Note that a plurality of types of hit game effect patterns that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a are determined for each type of jackpot game, and a hit game effect pattern group corresponding to the determined type of jackpot game (the content of the hit game effect) The overall control CPU 65a determines one corresponding winning game effect pattern from the winning game effect patterns included in the group).

  Thus, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the determination result of the hit determination based on the first special figure start hold information triggered by winning the first start winning opening 30 is affirmative, the prescribed round number is Although it is “15 times”, the first and fifth jackpot games can be expected to generate up to the maximum number of winning balls in only one round game (14 times) less than the prescribed number of rounds (15 times). On the other hand, special figure 1 (symbol A, symbol E) as a jackpot symbol is assigned, and the second to fourth jackpots in which winning balls are hardly generated in all round games of the specified number of rounds (15 times). A special figure 1 (symbol B, symbol C, symbol D) as a jackpot symbol is assigned to the game. On the other hand, if the determination result of the hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information triggered by winning at the second start winning opening 31 is affirmative, all of “15 times” which is the prescribed round number Special Figure 2 as a jackpot symbol for the sixth to tenth jackpot games that can be expected to generate up to the maximum number of winning balls in the round game (symbol a, symbol b, symbol c, symbol d, symbol e) Is assigned.

  If the determination result of the big hit determination based on the first special figure start hold information triggered by winning the first start winning opening 30 is affirmative, the big win is determined according to the gaming state at the time of winning the big win. 0 or 1 is determined as the number of times of change given after the game. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the determination result of the winning determination based on the winning to the second starting winning opening 31 (the winning determination based on the second special figure start hold information) is affirmative, Compared to the case where the determination result of the winning determination based on winning at the 1 start winning opening 30 (the winning determination based on the first special figure starting hold information) is affirmative, the privilege content (number of winning balls that can be acquired) And the number of times of change after a big hit game) are set to increase. That is, when the hit determination is made based on the second special figure start hold information, the larger hit of the privilege content that can be given is larger than the case where the hit determination is made based on the first special figure start hold information. The probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the game is high.

  In addition, when the game state at the time when the symbol A (first jackpot game) or the symbol E (fifth jackpot game) is determined is a non-probable / non-variable state or a probable / non-variable state, The number of times of change (one time) given after the first or fifth jackpot game is a plurality of types of change times that can be given a change state in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment (in the embodiment described above, As shown in the table below, five times are set: 1 time, 50 times, 75 times, 100 times, and until the next big hit occurs), and the shortest period is set. . In other words, the first or fifth jackpot game is a winning period that can be granted after the big hit game as the winning game that can be determined when the jackpot determination is affirmative in the non-changeable state (number of times of change) Among them, the main control CPU 60a is a jackpot game set as a specific winning game determined by the main control CPU 60a. Further, the first big hit game is set as a specific probability change hit game in which the main control CPU 60a decides to give the probability change state when it is determined as the big hit determination becomes affirmative in the non-variable short state, The fifth jackpot game is set as a specific non-probability hit game in which the main control CPU 60a determines not to give a probability change state in the same case.

(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 set in the case of the probability variation state (1516 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the case of the non-probability variation state (168 in the embodiment). 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. Here, in the embodiment, the special figure determination value is set to an integer value of “0” to “123” corresponding to the 124 types of the 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.

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 effect execution determination (reach lottery), and is determined from among 241 integers from “0” to “240” that can be taken by the effect execution determination random number. 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. In the embodiment, in the non-probable / non-variable state or the probable / non-variable state, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect using the effect execution determination value. Is set to be executed, and in the case of the non-probability / variation state or the probability variation / variation state, the main control CPU 60a uses the above-described special-pattern variation pattern primary distribution random number to assign the special-pattern variation pattern group. By determining, it is set so as to determine the effect execution determination as to whether or not the effect such as the reach effect is executed.

  Here, in the case of the effect execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30, the number of first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60 c and the second special hold information are stored. The set number of production execution determination values varies according to the number of stored figure start hold information. Specifically, the set number of effect execution determination values is set so that the set number of effect execution determination values decreases as the number of first or second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. It has been established. That is, in the non-probable / non-variable state or the probable / non-variable state, the execution frequency of the reach effect decreases as the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. It has become.

  Specifically, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “0” to “1”, 24 production execution determination values are set, and the number of first special figure start hold information stored is “ In the case of 2 ”, 15 production execution determination values are set, and in the case where the number of stored first special figure start hold information is“ 3 ”, 8 production execution determination values are set. That is, when the stored number of first special figure start hold information is “3”, the set number of production execution determination values is minimized. The stored number of first special figure start hold information is the remaining stored number excluding the first special figure start hold information used for effect execution determination. Similarly, in the case of the effect execution determination that is performed when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31, according to the storage number of the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60 c, The number of production execution determination values set is varied. Specifically, the set number of effect execution determination values is determined 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. Yes. Specifically, when the number of stored second special figure start hold information is “0” to “1”, 24 production execution determination values are set, and the number of second special figure start hold information stored is “ In the case of 2 ”, 15 performance execution determination values are set, and in the case where the number of stored second special figure start hold information is“ 3 ”, 8 performance execution determination values are set. That is, when the number of stored second special figure start hold information is “3”, the set number of production execution determination values is minimized. In addition, the memory | storage number of 2nd special figure start hold information is the remaining memory number except the 2nd special figure start hold information used for presentation execution determination.

(About special map fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect mode) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the final stop display. , Which specifies the basic content of the sound production mode). 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.

Yes. The special hit fluctuation pattern for big hits is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. The special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a in the case of affirmation, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing reach is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a if the result of the performance execution determination is affirmative. Yes, the special figure fluctuation pattern for deviation is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the performance execution determination is negative. The reach effect is an effect that is performed from when the reach display is displayed in the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 17 until when the symbol combination of the decorative drawing that is a big hit or lost is stopped and displayed. In addition, the main control ROM 60b groups special pattern variation patterns for various types (for big hits, for small hits, for out of reach, and for normal deviation) according to the contents of effects that can be executed based on each special figure variation pattern. A special figure fluctuation pattern table in which a plurality of divided special figure fluctuation pattern groups are set is provided (see FIGS. 9 to 12). The special figure variation pattern table according to the embodiment will be described in detail later.

(Regarding special map fluctuation pattern primary allocation judgment value)
The main control ROM 60b stores special map variation pattern primary distribution determination values for determining the special map variation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31 from each special map variation pattern table. That is, by determining the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31 using the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution determination value, the special figure fluctuation pattern to be finally determined is narrowed down. Yes. The special figure variation pattern primary distribution determination values are 253 integers from “0” to “252” that can be taken by the random numbers for the special distribution pattern primary distribution. Here, the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution determination value is individually set for each of the first to third special figure fluctuation pattern primary tables. Thus, by determining the special figure fluctuation pattern group using the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution determination value, the final special figure is determined from the range of the special figure fluctuation pattern included in the determined special figure fluctuation pattern group. The variation pattern is determined.

(Judgment value for special distribution fluctuation pattern secondary distribution)
The main control ROM 60b stores a special figure variation pattern secondary distribution determination value. The special map variation pattern secondary distribution determination values are the special map variation patterns included in the special map variation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31 determined based on the random numbers for the primary map variation pattern primary distribution. This is a determination value for determining one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the 251 integers of “0” to “250” that can be taken by the random numbers for secondary distribution of the special figure fluctuation pattern. Assigned to each of PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31. A special figure variation pattern secondary distribution determination value is assigned to each special diagram variation pattern included in each of the special diagram variation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31. That is, in the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31 determined based on the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution random numbers, determination values corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution random numbers are assigned. By specifying the obtained variation pattern, a special diagram variation pattern (effect content and performance time) executed in the symbol variation effect is determined. That is, in the embodiment, by determining the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31 based on the random numbers for primary distribution of the special figure fluctuation pattern, it is easy to select the production contents for each system (row The special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from each of the special figure fluctuation pattern groups PG11 to PG13, PG21 to PG22, and PG31 on the basis of the random numbers for secondary distribution of the special figure fluctuation pattern. The ease of selecting the figure variation pattern is adjusted.

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.

It also has a function as second random number acquisition means (second winning information acquisition means) for acquiring various random numbers in response to winning at the 2 start winning opening 31. 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 either a probability change state in which the probability of occurrence of a hit (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is affirmative) is high or a non-probability change state in which the probability is low, compared to a probability change state. In addition to functioning as a probability change determining means as a gaming state determining means (first game state determining means) to be played, it is also configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change 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 has a function as another random number acquisition means (third winning information acquisition means) for acquiring various random numbers triggered by the passage of the pachinko ball to the gate unit 48.

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.

  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 value for winning determination, random value for determining special figure, random value for determining execution execution, random number for special distribution fluctuation pattern primary distribution and special distribution fluctuation pattern secondary distribution). The main control CPU 60a reads out the values of various random numbers such as random numbers for distribution and stores the winning information (random number values) in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds as the first special figure start hold information.

  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 value for winning determination, random value for determining special figure, random value for determining execution execution, random number for special distribution fluctuation pattern primary distribution and special distribution fluctuation pattern secondary distribution). The main control CPU 60a reads out the values of various random numbers such as random numbers for distribution and stores the winning information (random number values) in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds as second special figure start hold information. Set (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. Figure start hold information (Random value for winning judgment, Random value for determining special figure, Random value for determining performance execution, Random number for special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution, Random number for special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution, etc. The main control CPU 60a acquires the values of various random numbers (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 the special symbol variation pattern for winning based on the values of the random number for the special symbol variation pattern primary distribution and the random number for the special symbol variation pattern secondary distribution. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the inside (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 hit symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines the special symbol for winning based on the values of the random number for the special symbol variation pattern primary distribution and the random number for the special symbol variation pattern secondary distribution. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the fluctuation patterns (hit fluctuation patterns) (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. In the embodiment, the performance execution determination is performed based on the random number for performance execution determination in the case of the non-probability / non-variable state or the probabilistic / non-variable state. In the short state, the main control CPU 60a makes a negative determination. In other words, in the case of non-probable / variable state or probabilistic / variable state, the special figure for outlier reach is based on the value of the random number for the special distribution fluctuation pattern primary distribution and the random distribution for the special distribution fluctuation pattern secondary distribution. By determining the fluctuation pattern or the extraordinary deviation special figure fluctuation pattern, it is determined whether or not the reach effect is executed. 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 selects from among the special figure fluctuation patterns (outlier reach fluctuation patterns) for outlier reach based on the values of the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution random numbers and the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution random numbers. One special figure variation pattern is determined (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 selects one of the special figure fluctuation patterns (outlier fluctuation patterns) for detachment based on the values of the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution random numbers and the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution random numbers. A special figure variation pattern is determined (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 is the value of the random number for hitting judgment, the value of the random number for determining the special figure, the value of the random number for determining the performance execution, the random number for the special distribution pattern primary distribution and the random number for the special distribution pattern secondary distribution The CPU 60a obtains (step B19), and then performs a hit determination 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 the special figure fluctuation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution and the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the above (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 winning symbol (Special Fig. 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines the special symbol for winning based on the values of the random number for primary distribution of the special pattern variation pattern and the random number for secondary distribution of the special diagram variation pattern. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the figure fluctuation pattern (hit fluctuation pattern) (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. In the embodiment, the performance execution determination is performed based on the random number for performance execution determination in the case of the non-probability / non-variable state or the probabilistic / non-variable state. In the short state, the main control CPU 60a makes a negative determination. That is, in the case of the non-probable / variable state or the probabilistic / variable state as described above, the detachment reach is based on the random numbers for the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution and the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution random number. Whether or not to execute the reach effect is determined by determining the special figure fluctuation pattern for use or the special figure fluctuation pattern that is not normal. 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 selects from among the special figure fluctuation patterns (outlier reach fluctuation patterns) for outlier reach based on the values of the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution random numbers and the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution random numbers. One special figure variation pattern is determined (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 selects one of the special figure fluctuation patterns (outlier fluctuation patterns) for detachment based on the values of the special figure fluctuation pattern primary distribution random numbers and the special figure fluctuation pattern secondary distribution random numbers. A special figure variation pattern is determined (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. Based on the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a and the general control CPU 65a determine the contents of the effect specifying the contents of the symbol variation effect to be performed by the symbol display device 17. It has a function as a symbol variation effect determining means.

(Relationship with special figure variation pattern table)
Next, the relationship between the variation pattern set in the main control ROM 60b and the special figure variation pattern table will be described.

  As described above, the special figure fluctuation pattern for big hits, the special figure fluctuation pattern for small hits, the special figure fluctuation pattern for out-of-reach and the special figure fluctuation pattern for normal deviation are executed based on each special figure fluctuation pattern A plurality of special figure fluctuation pattern tables in which a plurality of special figure fluctuation pattern groups divided into groups according to possible contents of production are set are set in the main control ROM 60b. Then, it is set in the main control ROM 60b according to the gaming state (probability change state or change state grant state) at the time of making a hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) (at the time of determining the special figure variation pattern). The main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern table from a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation pattern tables, and the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the determined special figure fluctuation pattern table. Has been. Specifically, in the embodiment, the non-variable time special map variation pattern tables TA11, TA21, TC22 used when determining the special map variation pattern in the non-variable state, and the special map variation in the variable state. The change time special figure change pattern tables TB12, TB21, and TC11 used for determining the pattern are set in the main control ROM 60b, and the game state at the time of making the hit determination is the same as the change state and the non-change state. The special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern by the main control CPU 60a differs depending on the short state.

  That is, the main control ROM 60b according to the embodiment has a plurality of variation patterns that define the special symbol variation time of the symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display performed by the special symbol display units 50A and 50B) performed by the symbol display device 17. It has a function as storage means for storing a plurality of types of set variation pattern tables. Then, the main control CPU 60a triggers the determination result of the hit determination to be an affirmative determination, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for determining the fluctuation pattern table (the special figure fluctuation pattern table) for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern). A function as table determining means (variation pattern determining means) is provided. The special figure variation pattern is determined based on one special figure fluctuation pattern table among a plurality of special figure fluctuation pattern tables stored in the main control ROM 60b triggered by the detection of the start winning detection sensors 34 and 35. The main control CPU 60a also functions as a figure variation pattern determination unit (variation pattern determination unit).

(Non-variable special time fluctuation pattern table)
Further, the non-variable short-time special map fluctuation pattern tables TA11 and TA21 are the same as the first non-variable short-time special map fluctuation pattern table TA11 used when determining the special map fluctuation pattern in the non-probable variation state. The second non-change-time special map variation pattern table TA21 used when determining the special map variation pattern in the state is set in the main control ROM 60b (see FIG. 9). That is, when the game state at the time of making the hit determination is the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure depending on whether it is the probability change state or the non-probability change state when the hit determination is performed. The special figure variation pattern table for determining the pattern is different. In addition, when the game state at the time of performing the hit determination is the non-changeable state, the hit determination is performed based on the first special figure start hold information acquired in response to winning in the first start winning opening 30. Regardless of whether or not the hit determination is made based on the second special figure start hold information acquired with the winning of the second start winning opening 31 as a trigger, the gaming state (probability change state or not) The special control fluctuation pattern tables TA11 and TA21 for determining the special display fluctuation pattern by the main control CPU 60a are determined according to whether or not. That is, the first non-variable short-time special figure fluctuation pattern table TA11 is a special figure that allows the main control CPU 60a to determine the special-figure fluctuation pattern when the gaming state at the time of making the hit determination is non-probable / non-variable state. The second non-variable special figure fluctuation pattern table TA21 is set as a fluctuation pattern table, and the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern when the gaming state at the time of performing the hit determination is a certain variation / non-variable state. It is set as a possible special figure variation pattern table.

  The first and second non-changing short time special figure fluctuation pattern tables TA11, TA21 include a big hit special figure fluctuation pattern group PGA11, PGA21 made up of a predetermined number of big hit special figure fluctuation patterns, and a predetermined number of Small hit special figure fluctuation pattern groups PGA12, PGA22 composed of special figure fluctuation patterns for small hits, and reach misalignment special figure fluctuation pattern groups PGA13, PGA23 constituted by a predetermined number of special figure fluctuation patterns for reach deviation, A normal deviation special figure fluctuation pattern group PGA14 and PGA24 each having a predetermined number of special figure fluctuation patterns for normal deviation are set. In the first and second non-change-time special map variation pattern tables TA11 and TA21, each special map variation pattern group may be set by the same number of groups, or a different number of groups may be set. Good. Further, the special figure variation patterns included in the first and second non-variable special figure variation pattern tables TA11 and TA21 may be grouped according to the same standard, or may be grouped according to different standards. May be. Further, the first and second non-change-time special map variation pattern tables TA11 and TA21 may be set to include the same type of special map variation pattern, or different types of special map variation patterns may be set.

The control CPU 60a is configured to determine.

(About the game production mode)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is set with a plurality of (7 in the embodiment) game effect modes with different effect contents (display contents) of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17 (FIG. 9, FIG. 9). (See FIGS. 15 and 16). The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine a game effect mode in which a symbol variation effect is executed from among a plurality of types of game effect modes when a mode transition condition described later is established. Here, the effect display determined for each game effect mode is displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that the symbol variation effect is performed, and depending on the game effect mode in which the symbol variation effect is performed, The game state (probability change state or change state) can be notified or suggested to the player. Specifically, the background display displayed on the back of the decorative display of the symbol display device 17 is set to be different for each game effect mode, and the player recognizes the current game effect mode from the type of background display. To get. Further, the display mode of the decorative drawing of the symbol display device 17 may be changed for each game effect mode so that the player can recognize the game effect mode in which the symbol variation effect is executed from the display mode of the decorative drawing. Is possible. That is, at least one of the background display displayed on the symbol display device 17 and the display form of the decorative drawing is configured to be different for each game effect mode. Note that there is no need for one type of effect display to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 in each game effect mode, and a plurality of types of effect display can be set for each of these game effect modes. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, data related to the effect display determined for each game effect mode is stored in the overall control ROM 65b.

  Here, the game effect modes that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a include the normal effect mode that can be determined only when the symbol variation effect is performed in the non-probable / non-variable state, the non-probable / non-variable state, A non-changing latent production mode that can be determined only when the symbol variation effect is performed in either the probabilistic or non-variable state, and a probability variation that can be determined only when the symbol variation effect is performed in the probabilistic or non-variable state. Symbolic variation mode, which can be decided only when the symbol variation production is performed in the probable / variable state, and the symbol variation in any of the non-probable / variable state and the probable / variable state There is a variable latency display mode that can be determined only when the performance is performed. That is, when the symbol variation effect is performed in the non-probable / non-variable state, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to determine the normal effect mode or the non-variable latent effect mode, and the symbol variation in the probable / non-variable state. When the production is performed, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to determine the non-change latent display mode or the certain change confirmed production mode, and when the symbol change production is performed in the certain change / short change state, the overall control CPU 65a It is configured to be able to determine the probability variation / determined production mode with variation or the latent production mode with variation, and when the pattern variation production is performed in a non-probability / variation state, the overall control CPU 65a can determine the variation production mode with variation. It is configured.

  Accordingly, in the normal effect pattern, the probability variation confirmed effect mode, and the probability variation short defined effect mode, the symbol variation effect can be performed based on the game effect mode only in the case of a specific game state defined for each game effect mode. Thus, by performing the symbol variation effect in these game effect modes, it is possible to notify the player of the game state definitely. On the other hand, in the non-changing latent production mode and the non-changing latent production mode, the symbol variation production can be performed in a plurality of game states defined for each game production mode. It is possible to suggest that there is a possibility that the game state (especially whether or not it is in a probable state) may be in a probable state while preventing the player from knowing the game state definitely. Yes. In other words, the probability variation confirmed effect mode and the probability variation defined effect mode are probability variation effect modes in which a symbol variation effect that can identify that the gaming state is the probability variation state is performed. The latent effect mode is a concealed effect mode in which a symbol variation effect that cannot be identified or is difficult to determine whether the gaming state is a probability change state or a non-probability change state. Thus, the overall control CPU 65a of the embodiment determines a game effect mode determining means for determining one of a plurality of types of game effect modes of the symbol variation effect performed in the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the game state in which the game is performed. It has a function as (effect mode determining means), and also has a function as an effect execution control means for causing the symbol display device 17 to execute a symbol variation effect corresponding to the determined game effect mode.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a special effect mode is set as a game effect mode that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a, in addition to the game effect mode described above. In the embodiment, two types of special effect modes (a first special effect mode and a second special effect mode) are set. The first special effect mode (first effect mode) is a game effect mode in which, when a jackpot game is won under a specific condition, a symbol variation effect in the first effect period after the jackpot game is performed. Specifically, in a non-variable state, the winning determination (big hit determination) is won based on the first special figure starting hold information (triggered by the detection of the first starting winning detection sensor 34), and the first winning game as a specific winning game With the specific condition that the main control CPU 60a determines one jackpot game or the fifth jackpot game, the symbol variation effect during the variable state grant period after the end of the first or fifth jackpot game is given. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to perform based on the first special effect mode. Here, in the first effect period in which the symbol variation effect is performed based on the first special effect mode, the special symbol variation pattern is determined based on the first special special symbol variation pattern table TB31 described above. It is the same period as one production period. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines the first or fifth big hit game based on the first special figure start hold information in the non-variable state, it is performed after the end of the first or fifth big hit game. The symbol variation effect that becomes the first variation is performed in the first special effect mode. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines a specific hit game (first and fifth jackpot games), the overall control CPU 65a selects one effect pattern from the effect pattern group corresponding to the first special effect mode. Is to decide.

  The second special effect mode is set as a game effect mode that can be executed in the second effect period after the end of the first effect period. That is, the second special effect mode is set as a special effect mode that can be shifted to after the end of the first special effect mode. Here, in the second effect period in which the symbol variation effect is performed based on the first special effect mode, the special symbol variation pattern is determined based on the second special special symbol variation pattern table TB41 described above. It is the same period as the second production period, and in the embodiment, it is configured to be able to perform the symbol variation production in the second special production mode, which is the second to fourth variation performed after the first or fifth jackpot game. Yes. As described above, the main control of the first jackpot game to which the probability change state is given after the big hit game or the fifth jackpot game to which the probability change state is not given is triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 in the non-variable short state. Only when the CPU 60a determines, the overall control CPU 65a can determine the first special effect mode and the second special effect mode. In other words, the first special performance mode is one of the latent display modes with variation that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a only when the symbol variation representation is performed in any of the non-probability / shortening state and the certainty / shortening state. The second special performance mode is a non-variable latency that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a only when the symbol variation effect is performed in any of the non-probable / non-variable state and the probable / non-variable state. It is a type of mode, and when the symbol variation effect is performed in the first or second special effect mode, the game state is surely changed while preventing the player from knowing the game state definitely. It is possible to suggest that there is a possibility.

(About determining the game production mode)
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, when the hit determination (big hit determination or small hit determination) is affirmative determination (win determination), the type of game effect mode at the time of the hit determination and the winning game of the winning The overall control CPU 65a determines one mode from the plurality of types of game effect modes described above according to the type (that is, the type of the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol), and hits based on the determined game effect mode. It is configured to perform a symbol variation effect after the game. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a determines one mode from the above-mentioned multiple types of game effect modes, triggered by the change from the variable state to the non-variable state with the execution of the symbol variation effect after the winning game. Then, it is configured to perform a symbol variation effect after a winning game based on the determined game effect mode.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the first jackpot game (symbol A) or the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) is won in the normal performance mode or the non-changing latency mode (that is, the non-changing short state). In this case, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine either the non-change latent display mode or the first special effect mode as the game effect mode after the winning game. Also, the player wins either the second jackpot game (symbol B), the third jackpot game (symbol C), or the sixth jackpot game (symbol a) in the probable change state in the normal performance mode or the non-changing latent mode. In this case, if the overall control CPU 65a determines the probability change change short-decision effect mode as the game effect mode after the winning game and wins the seventh to tenth big hit games (designs b to e), The overall control CPU 65a determines the short latent display mode. Furthermore, in the normal performance mode or the non-changing latent mode, the third jackpot game (symbol C), the fourth jackpot game (symbol D), and the small hit game (symbols F, f) in the non-probable change state are won. In this case, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one of the non-change latent display mode and the probability change final display mode as the game display mode after the winning game.

  In addition, when the first to third jackpot games (symbols A to C) and the sixth to tenth jackpot games (symbols a to e) are won in the probability variation definite effect mode (that is, the non-changing short state), the overall control is performed. The game effect mode determined by the CPU 65a is set to the same game effect mode as the case where the same type of jackpot game is won in the normal effect mode or the non-change latent mode. On the other hand, if the 4th big hit game (symbol AD) and the small hit game (symbols F, f) are won in the probability variation confirmed effect mode, the probability variation confirmed effect mode is integrated as the game effect mode after the winning game. The control CPU 65a is configured to determine.

  In the case of the certain change confirmation effect mode or the change and latent mode (ie, the change state), as shown in FIG. 15, the first to fourth jackpot games (designs A to D) or the sixth jackpot game When winning, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the probability variation confirmed effect mode as the game effect mode after the winning game. In addition, when winning the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) or the seventh to tenth jackpot games (symbols b to e), the game mode is changed and the latent performance mode is controlled The control CPU 65a is configured to determine. In addition, when the small hit game (symbol F, f) is won in the probability variation effect mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines the probability variation effect mode as the game effect mode after the winning game, and there is a variation. When the small hit game (symbols F, f) is won in the latent mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines the latent effect mode with a change as the game effect mode after the hit game. When the small hit game (symbols F, f) is won in the first to second special effect modes, the second special effect mode or the non-change latent mode is used as the game effect mode after the hit game. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one of them.

  Further, in the first special performance mode (that is, the variable speed state) or the second special performance mode (that is, the non-variable state), as shown in FIG. 16, the first to fourth jackpot games ( When winning the symbols A to D) or the sixth jackpot game, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the probability variation confirmed effect mode as the game effect mode after the winning game. In addition, when winning the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) or the seventh to tenth jackpot games (symbols b to e), the game mode is changed and the latent performance mode is controlled The control CPU 65a is configured to determine. In addition, when the small hit game (symbol F, f) is won in the probability variation effect mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines the probability variation effect mode as the game effect mode after the winning game, and there is a variation. When the small hit game (symbols F, f) is won in the latent mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines the latent effect mode with a change as the game effect mode after the hit game. When the small hit game (symbols F, f) is won in the first to second special effect modes, the second special effect mode or the non-change latent mode is used as the game effect mode after the hit game. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one of them. Although the game state of the second special effect mode is a non-changeable state, as will be described later, it is a game effect mode in which only the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is performed. In games played in the 2 special effects mode, the 1st to 5th big hit games (big hit symbols A to E) and small hits given when the hit determination is made based on the first special figure start hold information The game (symbol F) will not be won.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine different types of game effect modes when the main control CPU 60a determines the sixth jackpot game and when it determines the seventh jackpot game.

  In addition, the overall control CPU 65a determines one mode from the above-mentioned multiple types of game effect modes, triggered by the change from the variable state to the non-variable state with the execution of the symbol variation effect after the winning game. Then, it is configured to perform a symbol variation effect after a winning game based on the determined game effect mode. In other words, when 100 variation states are given in accordance with the determination of the fifth jackpot game (symbol E), the overall control CPU 65a sets the normal rendering mode as the game rendering mode of the symbol variation rendering after the 101st time. When the eighth jackpot game (symbol c) is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the normal effect mode as the game effect mode of the symbol variation effect after the 101st time, and the ninth jackpot game (symbol) When d) is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the normal effect mode as the game effect mode for the 76th and subsequent symbol variation effects, and when the tenth jackpot game (symbol e) is determined, The general control CPU 65a is configured to determine the normal effect mode as the game effect mode of the 51st and subsequent symbol variation effects. Note that the transition of the game effect mode when the variable state is given in accordance with the determination of the first jackpot game (symbol A) or the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) will be described later.

  In addition, when the second big hit game (symbol b) is determined, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the probability change variation determined effect mode as the game effect mode of the symbol variation effect after the 101st time. That is, when the second jackpot game (symbol b) is determined, the first to 100th changes after the jackpot game are the same as when the third jackpot game (symbol c) is determined. The symbol variation effect is performed based on the latent display mode with variation, and after the 101st variation, the pattern variation is performed based on the certain variation variation confirmation effect mode in the same manner as when the first jackpot game (symbol a) is determined. Production is to be performed.

(About transition to the first special performance mode)
Next, when the first jackpot game (symbol A) or the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) is won in the normal performance mode, the non-changing latent mode or the probability-changing fixed rendering mode (that is, the non-changing shortage mode). The determination of the first special effect mode and the non-change latent display mode by the overall control CPU 65a will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hit determination (big hit determination) in the non-variable state is affirmative (hit determination) and the first or fifth big hit game is determined. Determines whether the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c before the start of the first or fifth big hit game symbol variation effect satisfies the first specified condition (first 1 special effect mode transition determination), the first special effect mode is determined when the stored number satisfies the first specified condition (in the case of positive determination), and the stored number satisfies the first specified condition. When not satisfying (in the case of negative determination), it is configured to determine the non-change latent mode.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether the first special effect mode transition is made after the first or fifth jackpot game is ended after the first or fifth jackpot game is ended by the main control CPU 60a. Is set to do. Here, the first special effect mode transition determination may be performed at the timing when the first or fifth jackpot game is determined by the main control CPU 60a (that is, before the start of the symbol variation effect that becomes a jackpot). The first special effect mode transition determination may be performed while the first or fifth jackpot game is being performed. In the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to perform the first special effect mode transition determination before the ending effect of the first or fifth jackpot game is performed, and the first or fifth jackpot game is configured. In the ending effect, a game effect mode notification effect, which will be described later, can be executed.

  In the first special effect mode transition determination, the number of stored special figure start hold information (first special figure start hold information and second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c is the first or fifth. The overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the number of times of change given after the big hit game (that is, once) is greater than or equal to, and if the number of stored special figure start hold information is greater than or equal to the number of times of change On the other hand, when the number of stored special figure start hold information is less than the number of times of change (that is, once), the latent mode without change is set to be determined. Even if the number of stored special figure start hold information is not less than the number of times of change (that is, once) and the latent mode without change is determined, The first variation is a gaming state to which a variable state is assigned. In the embodiment, the total number of the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is given after the first or fifth big hit game. When the number of times of change is greater than or equal to the number of times of change, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the first special effect mode. Here, the main control CPU 60a updates the stored number of the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c in accordance with the above-described special figure input process. It is configured to output a hold number command to the overall control board 65 every time it is performed, and the overall control CPU 65a can recognize the latest information on the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c. Yes.

  In this way, the overall control CPU 65a, when the hit determination by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative, holds the start pending stored in the main control RAM 60c until the hit game given with the hit determination ends. It has a function as a hold determination means for determining whether the number of stored information (first special figure start hold information or second special figure start hold information) satisfies a specified condition. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode according to the determination result. In the first special effect mode, when the determination of the hit determination (big hit determination) by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative, the hit game (big hit game) given with the hit determination is completed. When the number of stored special figure start hold information (first special figure start hold information or second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c satisfies a specified condition (first specified condition) (in the case of an affirmative determination) ) Is a first effect mode that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a and is also an affirmative determination effect mode. Similarly, in the latent effect mode with variable speed, when the hit determination (big hit determination) by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative, the hit game (big hit game) given with the hit determination is ended. When the number of stored special figure start hold information (first special figure start hold information or second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c satisfies a prescribed condition (first prescribed condition) (negative determination) In this case, the overall control CPU 65a can determine the second effect mode and the negative determination time effect mode.

  That is, when the symbol variation effect is continuously performed without a gap from the end of the first or fifth jackpot game (that is, the total number of stored first and second special figure start hold information is “1” or more) In this case, by performing the symbol variation effect based on the first special effect mode, the continuity and unity of the jackpot effect performed on the symbol display device during the big hit game and the subsequent symbol variation effect are high. I can make a production. On the other hand, when the interval from the end of the first or fifth jackpot game to the next symbol variation effect is opened (that is, when the total number of stored first and second special figure start hold information is “0”) By performing the symbol variation effect based on the non-changing latent mode, it is possible to prevent a sense of incongruity from occurring in the symbol variation effect that opens from the jackpot effect performed by the symbol display device during the jackpot game. Further, the overall control CPU 65a compares the number of stored first special figure start hold information only with the number of times of change given after the first or fifth jackpot game, and the first special effect mode and the non-change latent mode. The first special effect mode and the non-change latency mode are compared by comparing only the number of stored second special figure start hold information with the number of times of change given after the first or fifth jackpot game. May be determined.

  That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines the first big hit game or the fifth big hit game as the specific hit game in response to the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 in the non-change state, as described above. In addition, in the variable state after the end of the first or fifth jackpot game, the main control CPU 60a determines the special graph variation pattern based on the first special special graph variation pattern table TC11, and in the variable state The symbol variation effect to be performed is performed based on the first special effect mode. Thereby, the non-variable state is configured such that the special characteristic of the first variation of the symbol variation effect after the first or fifth big hit game is generated is triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34. ing.

(About transition to the second special performance mode)
Next, the transition determination to the second special effect mode will be described. General control when the first jackpot game (symbol A) or the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) is won in the normal performance mode, the non-changing latent mode or the probability-changing fixed rendering mode (ie, the non-changing shortage state) When the CPU 65a determines the first special effect mode, before the predetermined number of symbol variation effects are performed (before the variable state given after the first or fifth jackpot game ends) The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine whether or not to shift to the second special effect mode after the end of the variable state. When the overall control CPU 65a determines the first special effect mode, as shown in FIG. 17, the next symbol after the variable state is given in accordance with the winning of the first or fifth big hit game. Before starting the variation effect (that is, the second symbol variation effect in the embodiment), it is determined whether or not the stored number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c satisfies the second specified condition. (Second special effect mode transition determination) is performed, and when the stored number satisfies the second specified condition (in the case of affirmative determination), the second special effect mode is determined, and the stored number is the second specified When the condition is not satisfied (in the case of negative determination), the latent mode without change is determined.

  That is, the overall control CPU 65a is set to perform the second special effect mode transition determination from the determination of the first special effect mode to the end of the symbol variation effect based on the first special effect mode. . Here, the second special effect mode transition determination may be performed at the timing when the overall control CPU 65a determines the first special effect mode, and the symbol variation effect based on the first special effect mode is performed. In the meantime, the second special effect mode transition determination may be performed. In the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a executes the effect processing of the second variation symbol variation effect based on the special symbol start processing performed for the second variation symbol variation effect after the first or fifth jackpot game. At this time, the second special effect mode transition determination is performed.

  Further, in the second special effect mode transition determination, whether or not the number of stored second special figure start hold information among the special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is greater than or equal to a reference number is determined as the second rule. As the condition, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the second special effect mode is determined when the storage number of the second special figure start hold information is equal to or more than the reference number, while the second special figure start hold information is stored. It is set to determine the non-change latent mode when is less than the reference number. Here, in the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a is set to “1” as the reference number of the stored number of the second special figure start hold information for determining the second special effect mode, and the second special effect mode When one or more second special figure start hold information is stored in the main control RAM 60c at the time of performing the transition determination, the second special effect mode is determined. That is, the overall control CPU 65a executes the symbol variation effect for a predetermined number of times (in the embodiment, one time after the first or fifth jackpot game) after determining the first special effect mode. The second special effect mode is determined when the main control RAM 60c stores the second special figure start hold information until (end).

  Accordingly, the first big hit game (symbol A) or the fifth big hit game (symbol E) is won first in the normal performance mode, the non-changed latent mode or the probability change fixed effect mode (that is, the non-changed shorted state). When the special effect mode is determined, the total number of stored second special figure start hold information until the end of the symbol variation effect based on the first special effect mode to which the variable state is given is “ 1 "or more (that is, when a hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information is performed), the second and subsequent symbol variation effects after the first or fifth big hit game are displayed in the second special By performing based on the production mode, the continuity and the unity of the design variation production performed based on the first special production mode and the design variation production performed based on the second special production mode are high. I can do the productionIn this case, the symbol change effect after the second change after the first or fifth jackpot game is determined based on the second special figure start hold information set so that the content of the privilege to be given becomes large (big hit) (Determination) is performed, so that the expectation for the result of the symbol variation effect performed based on the second special effect mode can be increased. On the other hand, when the total number of stored second special figure start hold information is “0” (when the hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information is not performed), the first or fifth big hit game By performing the second and subsequent changes in the symbol variation effect based on the non-shortening latent mode, it is possible to prevent an excessive sense of expectation from being produced in the effect of the symbol variation effect.

  As described above, the first jackpot game (symbol A) or the fifth jackpot game (symbol E) is won in the normal performance mode, the non-changing latent mode or the probability-changing fixed rendering mode (that is, the non-changing shortage state). When the first special effect mode is determined, depending on whether or not the hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information is performed, the symbol fluctuation after the second fluctuation after the first or fifth big hit game By determining whether the effect is to be performed based on the second special effect mode or based on the non-changing latent mode, the symbol variation effect after the second variation is made to have a sharp effect. Can do.

  In addition, when the overall control CPU 65a determines to perform the symbol variation effect based on the second special effect mode following the first special effect mode, the symbol variation performed based on the second special effect mode. The number of production fluctuations (second special production mode execution count) is determined. The overall control CPU 65a of the embodiment is configured to determine the number of second special drawing start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c as the second special effect mode execution count when the second special effect mode is determined. ing. For example, when the number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the second special effect mode is determined is “1”, the number of times of execution of the second special effect mode is one. If the number of stored second special figure start hold information is “2”, the number of times of execution of the second special effect mode is determined to be two, and the number of second special figure start hold information stored is “3”. ”, The number of times of execution of the second special effect mode is determined to be three, and when the number of memories of the second special drawing start hold information is“ 4 ”, the number of times of execution of the second special effect mode is set to 4. It is configured to decide on times. That is, in the second special effect mode, the symbol variation effect based on the hit determination based on the second special figure start hold information is always performed. Here, as described above, since the maximum storage number of the second special figure start hold information is set to “4”, the maximum second special effect mode execution count that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a is “ 4 times ".

  Further, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the second special effect mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines the latent mode without change as the game effect mode of the symbol change effect after the number of changes determined as the execution number of the second special effect mode. It is configured to In other words, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has the first jackpot game (symbol A) or the fifth jackpot game (in the normal performance mode, the non-changing latent mode, or the probability variation fixed production mode (that is, the non-changing shortage state)). When the symbol E) is won, the second special diagram stored in the main control RAM 60c from the time when the first special effect mode is determined until one symbol variation effect is executed (finished). While the symbol variation effect based on the start hold information is executed, the symbol variation effect based on the second special effect mode is performed, and the symbol variation effect based on the second special diagram start reservation information is not performed (first The game effect mode is switched from the second special effect mode by performing the symbol variation effect based on the 1 special figure start hold information). That is, if the game effect mode is switched from the second special effect mode to the latent effect mode and the game effect mode is switched, whether the symbol variation effect is performed based on the first special figure start hold information or the second special figure start It is possible to grasp whether the symbol variation effect is performed based on the hold information. Therefore, the change of the bonus content (the number of prize balls, the number of times of change after a big hit game, etc.) that can be given with the occurrence of a big hit by switching the game production mode from the second special production mode to the hidden production mode. Therefore, the degree of attention to the symbol variation effect performed in the second special effect mode can be increased.

(About the transition judgment to the second special performance mode with the determination of the small hit game)
Next, when the small hit game (symbol F, f) is won in the first special effect mode or the second special effect mode, the second special effect mode and the unchanging latent effect mode of the overall control CPU 65a are selected. The decision will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hit determination (small hit determination) in the first special effect mode or the second special effect mode is affirmative (win determination) and the small hit game is played. If determined, it is determined whether or not the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c until the end of the small hit game satisfies the second specified condition (second special When the number of memories satisfies the second specified condition (in the case of affirmative determination), the first special effect mode is determined, and the number of memories does not satisfy the second specified condition It is configured to determine the latent mode without change in the case of negative determination. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the small hit game is determined satisfies the second specified condition. Based on the determination result, the first special effect mode or the non-change latent mode is determined as the game effect mode after the small hit game.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 65a serving as the hold determination means, when the hit determination (small hit determination) is positive by the main control CPU 60a, It is configured to determine whether or not the number of stored second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c before the end satisfies a specified condition (second specified condition). The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode according to the determination result as the means. In other words, in the second special effect mode, when the determination of the hit determination (small hit determination) by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative, the hit game (small hit game) given with the hit determination ends. Affirmative determination effect that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the stored number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c in the meantime satisfies the specified condition (second specified condition) (in the case of positive determination) It is also a mode. Similarly, in the non-change latent display mode, when the determination of the hit determination (small hit determination) by the main control CPU 60a is affirmative, the hit game (small hit game) given with the hit determination ends. During the negative determination that the overall control CPU 65a can determine when the number of the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c during the period satisfies the predetermined condition (second predetermined condition) (in the case of negative determination) It is also a production mode.

  That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the number of stored special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the small hit game is determined satisfies the second specified condition, and determines the game effect mode. By doing so, the symbol based on the second special effect mode is executed while the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is executed after winning the first or fifth jackpot game in the non-variable state. It is possible to perform a fluctuating effect.

(About the game effect mode notification effect)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the first special effect mode in accordance with the winning of the big hit game (first or fifth big hit game), In the jackpot game in which the first special effect mode is determined, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine to perform the game effect mode notification effect for notifying the transition to the first special effect mode after the jackpot game. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 18, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the second special effect mode in accordance with the winning of the small hit game, in the small hit game in which the second special effect mode is determined, The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine to perform the game effect mode notification effect for notifying the transition to the second special effect mode after the winning game. Here, when the first or fifth jackpot game is determined, when the ending effect of the jackpot game is executed, the transition to the first special effect mode is recognizable in a display form that can be definitely recognized. This is performed by causing the symbol display device 17 to display a game effect mode notification effect.

  The game effect mode notification effect is performed by causing the symbol display device 17 to display a display form that can definitely recognize the transition to the first special effect mode or the second special effect mode. For example, it can be executed by displaying a character display such as “in preparation for the first special effect mode” or “entering the second special effect mode” on the symbol display device 17 as a game effect mode notification effect. Further, the game effect mode notification effect need not be a character display, and is displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the symbol variation effect is performed based on the first special effect mode or the second special effect mode. An effect image or video display may be used, and an effect image or video display related to the content of the effect performed in the first special effect mode or the second special effect mode may be employed.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described.

In the pachinko machine 10,
As described above, the second start is compared with the case where the winning game is generated based on the first special drawing start hold information triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 corresponding to the first start winning opening 30. In the case where a winning game is generated based on the second special figure starting hold information triggered by the detection of the second starting winning detection sensor 35 corresponding to the winning opening 31, a shortened state is given after the winning game is ended. By increasing the possibility of being played, it is possible to increase the expectation that the hit game will continue after the hit game is generated based on the second special figure start hold information. When a specific winning game (that is, the first or fifth big hit game) is determined based on the first special figure start hold information in the non-variable state, the specific winning game (first or second game) is determined. While the variable state is given after the end of (5 jackpot game) (that is, during the first change after the jackpot game), the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display is the longest fluctuation time of the normal figure fluctuation display. Since it is configured to be longer than (that is, the non-variable normal time fluctuation time), the result per normal figure can be determined once or more while the shortage state is given. That is, when a specific winning game (that is, the first or fifth big winning game) is determined in the non-variable short state, it is possible to secure one or more opening opportunities for the second start winning opening 31 (FIG. 14). reference).

  Therefore, when a specific winning game (first or fifth big winning game) is determined in the non-changeable state, the second special figure start holding information corresponding to the second start winning opening 31 after the second change. Based on this, a sense of expectation that a hit game will be generated increases, and the interest of the game can be improved. For this reason, in the case where the winning game is given based on the first special figure start hold information and the case where the hit game is given based on the second special figure start hold information, the benefit content given to the player Even if superiority or inferiority is provided, a sense of expectation for the special figure fluctuation display performed based on the first special figure start hold information is not impaired, and a sharp game is possible.

  Further, in the embodiment, when a specific winning game (that is, the first or fifth big hit game) is determined based on the first special figure start hold information in the non-variable state, the specific winning game (first game) The variation time of the special figure variation display (ie, 32100 ms) when the variable state is given after the end of the first or fifth jackpot game (ie, during the first variation after the big hit game) is lost. , The longest change time of the normal map change display in the non-variable short state (ie, the normal change time of the non-change short time: 2000 ms) and the longest change time of the normal map change display in the variable state (the normal time change It is configured to be longer than the time (2820 ms in the embodiment) obtained by adding the figure fluctuation time: 820 ms). As a result, when a specific winning game (that is, the first or fifth big hit game) is determined in the non-variable short state, the first symbol variation effect (special figure fluctuation display) after the big hit game is performed. In the meantime, the determination result of the universal figure determination performed in the variable state can be confirmed once or more. In addition, since the probability of hitting the base figure in the variable state is set so as to increase the probability of hitting the base figure, the symbol change effect (special figure change display) of the first change after the big hit game is off. In this case, the player is encouraged to win a pachinko ball in the second start winning opening 31 while the symbol change effect (special view change display) is being performed, and the second start winning opening 31 after the second change. It is possible to connect the player's interest to a game that is performed based on the second special figure start hold information corresponding to.

  In addition, the main control RAM 60c stores data during the variable period grant period (one variable number of times) given after the end of a specific hit game (first or fifth big hit game) in the non-variable state. Regardless of the number of the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information stored, the change time of the special figure change display is longer than the longest change time of the normal figure change display. Impairs the expectation that pachinko balls will enter the second starting winning opening 31 in the first variation symbol variation effect (special variation variation display) that is given after the first or fifth jackpot game) It is possible to improve the interest of the game without any problems. On the other hand, in a game other than the granting period of the reduced state after the specific hit game (first or fifth big hit game) (after the second change), the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c. The game can be progressed lightly by making it possible to shorten the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display according to the number of stored second special figure start hold information.

  In addition, when the specific winning game (first or fifth big hit game) is determined, the special figure change display is performed once after the specific winning game (first or fifth big hit game) ends. As long as the pattern is changed, the change time of the special figure change display is longer than the longest change time of the normal figure change display. By constructing the system so as to be confirmed, the interest in the pachinko ball entering the second starting prize opening 31 is intensively increased while the special figure variation display is performed once, and the interest of the game is improved. Can do. In this way, even if a short state is given while one symbol variation effect is performed after the end of a specific hit game (the first or fifth big hit game), the fluctuation of the special figure variation display Since the time is longer than the longest variation time of the usual variation display, the expectation that the pachinko ball enters the second start winning opening 31 is not impaired, and a sharp game can be performed.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 60a hit determination (big hit determination) is affirmative based on the second special figure start hold information, a variable state is always given, so that a specific win game ( It is possible to further increase the interest in the pachinko ball entering the second start winning opening 31 in the variable state given after the end of the first or fifth jackpot game. In addition, when the big hit game is determined based on the second special figure start hold information, the number of prize balls obtained is larger than when the big hit game is determined based on the first special figure start hold information. Since it is configured, it is possible to further increase the interest in the variable state given after the end of a specific hit game (first or fifth jackpot game).

  In addition, as the specific hit game, a first jackpot game to which a probability change state is given after a hit game and a fifth jackpot game to which a probability change state is not given are set, and the first jackpot game in a non-changeable state. And the fifth jackpot game, the same first special performance mode is determined as the game performance mode after the jackpot game, and a group of performance patterns that can be determined in the first special performance mode. By determining the content of one effect from the inside, it becomes difficult to determine the type of winning game (the first jackpot game and the fifth jackpot game) from the effect contents of the symbol variation effect. , To increase the expectation that the hit game will be triggered by entering the second start winning opening 31 in a variable state given after the end of the specific hit game (first or fifth big hit game) In Yes. When either the first jackpot game or the fifth jackpot game is determined in the non-changeable state, the overall control CPU 65a determines one hit game effect pattern from the same hit game effect pattern group. Therefore, it becomes difficult to determine the type of winning game (the first big hit game and the fifth big hit game) from the contents of the effect of the hit game effect, and the specific hit game (first game) Alternatively, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation that a hit game will occur when triggered by a ball entering the second start winning opening 31 in a variable state given after the end of the fifth big hit game).

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment includes types of hit special figure fluctuation patterns that can be determined when the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) based on the first special figure start hold information is positive. Or, the determination ratio of the hit special figure fluctuation pattern is different, and the special figure fluctuation pattern (reach off special characteristic) that can be determined when the hit judgment (big hit judgment and small hit judgment) based on the first special figure start hold information is positive. The first high-speed special-figure fluctuation pattern table TB11 configured so that the types of figure fluctuation pattern and normal deviation fluctuation pattern) or the deviation special-figure fluctuation pattern (reach deviation special-figure fluctuation pattern and normal deviation fluctuation pattern) are determined differently. The first low speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB12 is set, and the hit based on the second special figure start hold information is set. The type of hit special chart fluctuation pattern or the determination ratio of the hit special figure fluctuation pattern that can be determined when the constant (big hit judgment and small hit judgment) is affirmative judgment is different, and the hit judgment based on the second special figure start hold information ( The type of outlier special map change pattern (reach out of special figure fluctuation pattern and normal outbreak fluctuation pattern) or outage special figure fluctuation pattern (reach out of special figure fluctuation pattern) A second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 and a second low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB22 configured to have different determination ratios are set. The special control variation pattern tables TB11, TB12, TB21, and TB22 are determined by the main control CPU 60a according to the type of the big hit game. The variation time of the variation effect can be changed, and the gameability after the hit game can be diversified.

  Here, based on the special figure fluctuation pattern tables TB11 and TB12 that can be determined when the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) based on the first special figure start hold information is affirmative, or based on the second special figure start hold information In the special figure fluctuation pattern tables TB21 and TB22 that can be determined when the hit judgment (big hit judgment and small hit judgment) is an affirmative judgment, the fluctuation special figure fluctuation that defines the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation effect that occupies most of the game. The high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern tables TB11 and TB21 having a short average fluctuation time determined by the pattern and the low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern tables TB12 and TB22 longer than the average fluctuation time of the high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern tables TB11 and TB21 are set. After the jackpot game, according to the special figure variation pattern table determined according to the type of jackpot game Longer or variation time of the symbol variation effect dividing, it can be shorter or, to prevent the uniform variation time symbol variation effect after jackpot gaming, may aim to diversify the game.

  In the embodiment, as a big hit game that can be determined when the hit determination (big hit determination) based on the second special figure start hold information is affirmative determination, the sixth big hit game in which the game state after the big hit game becomes the same game state and When the seventh jackpot game is set and the sixth jackpot game is determined, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 in the game after the big jackpot game. In addition, when the seventh big hit game is determined, the special figure variation pattern is determined based on the second low speed special figure variation pattern table TB22 in the game after the big hit game. Thus, when the game state after the big hit game becomes the same game state, the second high speed special figure variation pattern table TB21 and the second low speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB22 are determined according to the type of the big hit game. By configuring to obtain, even if the game state is the same, according to the type of winning game, the variation time of the symbol variation effect that is performed after the winning game can be lengthened or shortened, Later gameplay can be diversified.

  Further, an eighth outlier special map fluctuation pattern is set as the second high speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21, and the second special low speed figure fluctuation pattern table TB22 is out of reach. As the special figure fluctuation patterns, the fourth, sixth and seventh off-line special figure fluctuation patterns are set. That is, the average fluctuation time determined by the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern set in the second high speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 is determined by the reach deviation deviation special figure fluctuation pattern set in the second low speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB22. By making it shorter than the fixed average variation time, depending on the type of winning game, you can increase or shorten the reach time of the reach production that is performed in the symbol variation effect after the big hit game. Can diversify the gameplay. Similarly, a reach deviation is not set as the special high speed special pattern fluctuation pattern table TB11, and no special figure fluctuation pattern is set as the special low speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB12. As the special figure fluctuation patterns, the fourth, sixth and seventh off-line special figure fluctuation patterns are set. That is, when the special symbol variation pattern of the symbol variation effect that is out of place is determined based on the first high-speed special symbol variation pattern table TB11, the symbol variation that is out of the range based on the first low-speed special symbol variation pattern table TB12. Depending on the type of jackpot game that was won, which was configured to shorten the average fluctuation time compared to the case where the special figure fluctuation pattern of the production was determined, the production time of the outage performed in the symbol fluctuation production after the big hit game was lengthened. Or can be shortened, and the playability after a hit game can be diversified.

  Also, if the type of jackpot game determined based on the second special figure start hold information is a jackpot game (sixth jackpot game) to which a probability change state is given after the jackpot game, the probability change after the jackpot game A game effect (symbol variation effect) is performed in the short definite effect mode, and the player can recognize that the game state is a probable change state. As described above, when a game effect is performed in the probability variation state probability variation effect mode in which it is possible to identify the probability variation state, the main control CPU 60a performs special processing based on the second high-speed special figure variation pattern table TB21 having a short average variation time. Since the figure variation pattern is determined, it is possible to shorten the interval until the next winning game where the player's interest is high. In addition, when a game is performed in the probability variation variation confirmation effect mode, since the variation state is given separately from the probability variation state, the winning frequency of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31 is high, and one variation Even if the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 in which the average fluctuation time per hit is shortened, the second special figure start hold information is stored in the main control RAM 60c (that is, the next Can be maintained and the game can be played without stress.

  On the other hand, if the type of jackpot game determined based on the second special figure start hold information is another jackpot game (seventh jackpot game) to which a probability change state is given after the jackpot game, the jackpot game Later, a game effect (design variation effect) is performed in the latent effect mode with a change. Even if the type of jackpot game determined based on the second special figure start hold information is a jackpot game (the eighth to tenth jackpot games) to which the probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game, after the jackpot game A game effect (design variation effect) is performed in the latent effect mode with variation. That is, when a game effect (symbol variation effect) is performed in the latent effect mode with variation, the player cannot recognize that the game state is a probable variation state based on the effect contents of the symbol variation effect. As described above, when a game effect is performed in the latent effect mode with a variation that cannot be identified as a probability variation state, the main variation is performed based on the second low-speed special figure variation pattern table TB22 having a long average variation time. By configuring the control CPU 60a to determine the special figure variation pattern, it is possible to secure an effect time for enhancing expectation for the next occurrence of the winning game.

  When the type of jackpot game determined based on the second special figure start hold information is the seventh jackpot game, the type of jackpot game determined based on the second special figure start hold information is the eighth. The game state is maintained after the symbol change effect is given (ie, after the 101st change) during the change state granted period (100 times of change) given in the case of a big hit game Is in a state in which the player can recognize that is in a probabilistic state. Then, after the 101st change after the seventh big hit game in which the player can identify the probability variation state, the game effect mode is changed and the latent effect mode is switched from the latent effect mode to the probability change effect change mode. As described above, the special CPU fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern by the control CPU 60a is switched from the second low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB22 to the second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21. It is possible to increase the interest of the game by shortening the interval until the next winning game is high.

  As described above, when the sixth jackpot game is won out of the sixth jackpot game and the seventh jackpot game that have the same privilege content given in accordance with the positive determination of the jackpot determination, the average after the jackpot game is averaged. By determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from the second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 having a short fluctuation time, the privilege content associated with the jackpot (specifically, a shortage state is given until the next big jackpot occurs) Can be grasped by the player. In addition, when the 7th jackpot game in which the privilege content to be granted is equal to the 6th jackpot game is won, and the 8th to 10th jackpot games having a lower privilege content than the sixth jackpot game are won. In such a case, by determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from the second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 having a long average fluctuation time after the big hit game, the privilege content (specifically, whether or not the probability change state is associated) It is possible to conceal to the player whether or not the variable state is given until the next big hit. In this way, depending on the type of winning jackpot game, by changing the fluctuation time of the symbol variation effect performed after the big hit game, it becomes possible to notify the privilege content accompanying the big hit or conceal it, and the big hit game Diversity of later playability can be achieved. At this time, when the main control CPU 60a determines the sixth jackpot game and when the seventh to tenth jackpot games are determined, different types of game effect modes (probability change) after the jackpot game are determined. By determining the short-decision production mode and the variable-latency production mode), it is possible to make the player clearly understand the contents of the benefits granted in connection with winning the sixth jackpot game, Can be attached.

  In addition, the type of jackpot game determined based on the first special figure start hold information is the same as the second jackpot game, the third jackpot game determined in the probability variation non-variable state, etc. If the game is a big hit game with a probable change state and a variable state, a game effect (symbol change effect) is performed in the probable change change shortage effect mode after the big hit game, and the player indicates that the game state is a probable state. Can be recognized. As described above, when the game effect is performed in the probability variation state probability variation effect mode in which the probability variation state can be identified after the big hit game determined based on the first special figure start hold information, the average variation time is short. Since the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the first high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB11, the interval until the next winning game generation in which the player is highly interested is shortened as described above. be able to.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured such that the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern for each number of fluctuations of the symbol fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation display) performed after the end of the big hit game. Therefore, the variation time can be lengthened or shortened in accordance with the progress of the symbol variation effect after the big hit game ends, and the gameability after the big hit game can be diversified. Then, by making a hit game notification effect informing the type of jackpot game during the jackpot effect of each jackpot game, when the player changes the variation time of the symbol change effect performed after the jackpot game, The game can be performed without being confused, and the diversification of the gameability due to the change in the variation time can be effectively enhanced.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a specific big hit game (first or fifth big hit game) is determined in the non-variable short state (non-probable / non-variable short state and probable / non-variable short state). At that time, depending on whether or not the number of stored start hold information (first and second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c until the end of the jackpot game satisfies the first specified condition, The game effect mode after the big hit game is configured to change. That is, the determination of the first special effect mode transition determination performed by the overall control CPU 65a after the main control CPU 60a determines the first or fifth jackpot game until the end of the first or fifth jackpot game. Whether or not to shift to the first special effect mode is determined according to the result. Thus, the big hit is determined by whether or not the stored number of the start hold information (first and second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c until the end of the big hit game satisfies the first specified condition. By changing the game effect mode after the game, it is possible to prevent the effect of the symbol variation effect performed after the big hit game from becoming uniform, to diversify the game effect, and to enhance the interest of the game. When a specific winning game (first or fifth jackpot game) to which the changing state is given in the non-changing state is won, it is possible to shift to the first special effect mode after the big hit game. By doing so, it becomes possible to raise interest in the change of the game effect mode accompanying the big hit game and to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, the granting period of the variable state (number of times of change) given after a specific hit game (first or fifth big hit game) The shortest period (one time in the embodiment) in the number of times of change) is set, and the grant period (that is, the first change) after this specific hit game (first or fifth big hit game) is set. ), It is possible to increase interest in the effect performed in the first special effect mode and improve the interest of the game by performing the symbol variation effect according to the first special effect mode. In particular, during the given period of change (that is, the first change) after this specific winning game (first or fifth jackpot game), the pachinko ball can win the second starting winning opening 31 as described above. Therefore, the interest in the performance performed in the first special performance mode can be increased.

  Further, the first special effect mode transition determination is performed by the overall control CPU 65a before the ending effect of the first or fifth jackpot game is performed, and the ending effect of the first or fifth jackpot game is performed. Is configured to execute a game effect mode notification effect. In this way, the number of stored start hold information satisfies the first specified condition until the big hit game (first or fifth big hit game) given in accordance with the hit determination (big hit determination) ends. In such a case, the game effect mode notification effect is executed during the winning game and the transition to the first special effect mode is notified, so that the change in the game effect mode of the symbol variation effect performed after the big hit game is performed. The game can be diversified without giving a sense of incongruity. In addition, by executing the game effect mode notification effect in the ending effect, the continuity between the jackpot game effect and the symbol variation effect performed in the first special effect mode after the jackpot game can be enhanced, and the first special The peculiarity of the symbol variation effect performed in the effect mode can be emphasized.

  In addition, when the main control RAM 60c stores the start hold information between the time when the first special effect mode is determined and the predetermined number of symbol variation effects are executed, the second special effect mode is used. Is configured so that the overall control CPU 65a determines. As described above, the first special effect mode is shifted to the second special effect mode depending on whether or not the start hold information is stored until the predetermined number of symbol variation effects after the big hit game is executed. The countryside changes, and the change of the production mode performed after the big hit game is diversified, leading to an increase in the fun of the game. In particular, in the embodiment, the second special effect mode is set when the main control RAM 60c stores the second start hold information until the symbol variation effect performed in the first special effect mode ends. Since the overall control CPU 65a decides and the design variation effect in the second special effect mode is performed based on the second start hold information, the interest in the game performed in the second special effect mode is increased. Can be increased.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment causes the pachinko ball to flow down to the second ball flow path in the game area 20a, thereby opening the special winning device 40 that is released when a winning game (big hit game or small hit game) occurs. A pachinko ball can be won in the second start winning opening 31 opened and closed by the special winning opening 41 and the opening / closing member 33, and the gate section (ball passing section) that triggers the opening of the second starting winning opening 31. The winning holes 31, 41 and the gate member 48 are arranged in the game board 20 so that the pachinko balls can enter (pass) into the game board 48, and the pachinko balls flow down to the first ball flow path in the game area 20a. In such a case, the special winning opening 41, the second start winning opening 31, and the gate member 48 of the special winning device 40 are configured so that winning or winning (passing) is impossible or difficult. Accordingly, a game mode in which a game is performed by causing a pachinko ball to flow down on the first ball flow path according to whether or not there is a variable state and whether or not a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) has occurred, and the second ball It is possible to create a game property that changes a game mode in which a game is performed by causing a pachinko ball to flow down the flow path. As the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) occurs, the pachinko ball that has flowed down the second ball flow path in order to win the special winning port 41 of the prize device 40 is the second start winning port 31. Can be won, and the number of stored second special figure start hold information can satisfy the first specified condition until the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is completed. In this way, by adopting the arrangement configuration of the winning ports 31, 41 and the gate member 48 with respect to the game board 20, the gameability of changing the ball flow path through which the pachinko ball flows down according to the presence or absence of the variable state is created However, it is possible to change the game effect mode after the hit game with the occurrence of the hit game (big hit game or small hit game), and the symbol variation performed based on the second special figure start hold information after the big hit game The production of the production can be diversified and the fun of the game can be enhanced.

  Furthermore, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has priority over the game based on the first special figure start hold information when the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information are stored in the main control RAM 60c. In this way, a game based on the second special figure start hold information is configured to be performed, and until the winning game (small winning game) given with the winning determination (small winning determination) ends, The game effect mode after the hit game (small game) is changed to the second special effect mode or the non-changeable latent effect mode depending on whether or not the number of stored figure start hold information satisfies the second specified condition. As a result, the effect of the symbol variation effect performed based on the second special figure start hold information after the winning game (small winning game) is diversified, leading to an increase in the interest of the game.

  In addition, after either the big hit game or the small hit game, after the big hit game or after the small hit game, depending on the number of stored second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c, ) Afterwards, it is possible to change the evening effect mode, and after the winning game (big hit game or small hit game), the effects of the symbol variation effect performed based on the second special figure start hold information are diversified. Can be increased.

  In addition, if the number of stored 2nd special figure start hold information satisfies the specified condition before the winning game (small winning game) given with the winning determination (small winning determination) is completed, By executing the game effect mode notification effect during the game (small hit game) and notifying the transition to the second special effect mode, the game effect mode of the symbol variation effect performed after the hit game (small hit game) The game can be diversified without giving a sense of incongruity to changes.

(Change example)
The configuration of the gaming machine is not limited to the configuration described above, and various changes can be made. An example of a configuration that can be changed will be described below. Of course, the changeable configuration is not limited to the following.
(1) According to the number of first start hold information (first special figure start hold information) and second start hold information (second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c as a hold storage means Thus, the variation time of the symbol variation effect performed in the symbol display device 17 is configured to be shortened. However, the variation time of the symbol variation effect is not varied depending on the number of special symbol start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c. It can also be.
(2) The shortest period is one out of the award rate improvement state (variable state) that can be awarded in the case of winning determination (big hit determination) in the non-winning rate improvement state. It is not limited, and the number of fluctuations of two times or more can be set as the shortest period. And, when the shortest period is set to two or more fluctuations in the grant period of the winning rate improvement state (variable state) that can be awarded, the winning rate after the end of the specific winning game to which the shortest period is granted While the improved state is given, the variation time of the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 17 can be set to be longer than the longest variation time of the universal symbol variation display performed by the general diagram display unit 55. It is. In addition, there is an advantage that the gameability when the shortest period is given can be emphasized by making the shortest period in which the winning rate improvement state is given not redundant and short (small number of fluctuations).
(3) The first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold stored in the main control RAM 60c when a specific winning game is determined based on the first special figure start hold information in the non-winning rate improvement state. Regardless of the number of information stored, the variation time of the symbol variation effect performed on the symbol display device 17 is performed on the normal symbol display unit 55 while the winning rate improvement state is given after the end of the specific winning game. The symbol display device 17 is configured to be longer than the longest variation time of the normal variation display, but according to the stored number of the first special diagram start hold information and the second special diagram start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c. The variation time of the symbol variation effect performed in step 1 may be shortened. Here, when the variation time of the symbol variation effect performed in the symbol display device 17 is shortened according to the number of stored first special diagram start suspension information and second special diagram start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c, By configuring the variation time of the shortest symbol variation effect to be longer than the longest variation time of the universal variation display performed by the universal diagram display unit 55, the winning rate improvement state is given as in the embodiment. During this time, it is possible to secure an opportunity to open the second entrance (the second start winning entrance 31) at least once.
(4) In the variable state, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the first special figure start hold information and the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the second special figure start hold information. Although the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the figure fluctuation pattern table, the vinegar fluctuation pattern to be melted from the same special figure fluctuation pattern table is determined based on the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information. You may do it. Specifically, the first high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB11 and the second low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB22 in which the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the first special figure start hold information shown in the embodiment. Either a combination or a combination of the second high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB21 and the second low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table TB22 in which the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the second special figure start hold information is provided. You may do it.
(5) In the embodiment, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on each special figure fluctuation pattern table, the high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table and the low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table having different average fluctuation times per fluctuation are・ The special figure fluctuation pattern table that determines the special figure fluctuation pattern in the variable state is set as a special figure fluctuation pattern table that determines the special figure fluctuation pattern in the probabilistic / non-variable state. It may be set as a pattern table, or may be set as a special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern in the case of an uncertain change probability change / short change state. That is, when the gaming state after the winning game is the same gaming state, the special variation pattern table for determining the special figure variation pattern after the winning game is different from the average variation time determined by the set special diagram variation pattern. The main control CPU 60a can be configured to determine a figure fluctuation pattern table (a high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table and a low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table).
At this time, as a winning game that can be determined in accordance with the winning determination (big winning determination), a plurality of reference winning games (first winning game and second winning game) having the same bonus content are given and the bonus granted When a different winning game (third winning game) whose content is lower than the standard winning game is set and the first winning game is determined, a special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern is determined. The figure fluctuation pattern table is determined, and the low speed special figure fluctuation pattern table is determined as the special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern when the second winning game and the third winning game are decided. Therefore, it is possible to notify or conceal the contents of the bonus associated with the winning, and to achieve a variety of gaming properties after the winning game. In the embodiment, two types of the sixth jackpot game and the seventh jackpot game are set as the reference hit games, but three or more types can be set. Three types of 8th to 10th big hit games are set as other hit games with lower privilege content than the standard hit game, but it may be one type or two types, or more than four types. You can also.
(6) Further, in this case, when any one of the plurality of reference games (first winning game) is determined and when another reference game (second winning game) is determined. If a different type of effect mode (game effect mode) is determined, it is possible to allow the player to grasp the privilege content associated with winning the winning game from the effect content of the symbol variation effect. In addition, when another reference game (second winning game) is determined, and when another winning game (third winning game) having a lower privilege content than the reference game is determined Thus, if the same type of effect mode (game effect mode) is determined, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the privilege content accompanying the winning of the winning game from the effect content of the symbol variation effect.
(7) Among a plurality of types of hit games set in the gaming machine, the privilege content that can be granted with the above-mentioned reference hit games (sixth and seventh big hit games in the embodiment) as a trigger is set to be the highest. However, it is not restricted to this, The privilege content provided can be changed suitably.
(8) Although the special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern in the variable speed state is set, it may be set as the special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern in the non-variable state. . In the non-variable state and variable state, the high-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table is set as a special figure fluctuation pattern table that determines the special figure fluctuation pattern when the probability variation state is set, and the low-speed special figure fluctuation pattern table is set to the non-definite variation state In this case, it is also possible to set as a special figure fluctuation pattern table for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern.
(9) When a specific winning game (first or fifth big winning game) is determined in the non-winning rate improvement state (non-variable state), the symbol variation effect after the specific winning game is started It is determined whether or not the number of special figure start hold information (first special figure start hold information or second special figure start hold information) stored in the main control RAM 60c before satisfies the first specified condition. It is not limited to the configuration in which the game effect mode is changed according to the result, and it is determined whether or not the first rule is satisfied until the winning game given in accordance with the winning determination is completed, Different game effect modes can be determined according to the determination result. Further, although the first prescribed condition is that the total number of stored first and second special figure start hold information is “1” or more, the total may be “2” or more. It is also possible to use only the stored number of the first special figure start hold information or only the stored number of the second special figure start hold information. In the embodiment, the first special effect mode is set as the first effect mode determined when the first specified condition is satisfied, and the second determined when the first specified condition is not satisfied. Although the non-changing latent production mode is set as the production mode, the production mode is not limited to this, and any production mode may be used as long as it is a game production mode set in the gaming machine.
(10) When the first specified condition is satisfied, the effect mode notification effect for notifying the transition to the first effect mode in the winning game is performed in the ending effect, but this is not a limitation. If the post-game symbol variation effect is not started, the effect mode notification effect may be performed at the opening effect of the winning game, or the effect mode notification effect may be performed during the winning game effect. Furthermore, the effect mode notification effect can be performed in the symbol variation effect in which the winning game occurs.
(11) After the first production mode is determined, the second special production mode is entered before the variable state given after the specific hit game that determines the first production mode ends. Although it is configured to determine whether or not to shift (second special effect mode transition determination), it is not limited to this. That is, it may be determined whether or not to shift to the second special effect mode before the symbol variation effect of the number of times of change given after a specific winning game is performed, or given after a specific winning game. It may be determined whether or not to shift to the second special effect mode after the symbol variation effect of the number of times of change is performed. For example, when a change state of 10 change times is given in accordance with a specific winning game, the mode shifts to the second special effect mode while a symbol change effect is performed less than 10 times after the specific winning game. It is also possible to determine whether or not to shift to the second special effect mode after 11 or more symbol variation effects have been performed. Further, the second special effect mode transition determination may be performed simultaneously with the first special effect mode transition determination. That is, when the main control RAM 60c stores start hold information between the time when the first effect mode is determined and the predetermined number of symbol variation effects are executed (when the second specified condition is satisfied). ) To determine the second special effect mode, and to determine a different game effect mode according to the determination result.
(12) The second prescribed condition is that the total number of stored second special figure start hold information is “1” or more, but the total may be “2” or more. It is also possible to use only the total number of figure start hold information and second special figure start hold information or the number of first special figure start hold information stored as a reference. In the embodiment, the second special effect mode is set as the first effect mode determined when the second specified condition is satisfied, and the effect mode determined when the second specified condition is not satisfied. Although the latent effect mode without change is set, the present invention is not limited to this, and any effect mode may be used as long as the game effect mode is set for the gaming machine.
(13) The types of hit games (big hit games) given when the hit judgment (big hit judgment) is affirmative (winning) and the contents of benefits given by each win game are shown in the examples. Of course, it is not limited to things. In other words, as the contents of the bonus granted by winning a game, the number of winning balls that can be acquired during the winning game, and the change in gaming state accompanying the winning game (whether or not a certain change state is given or whether or not a winning rate improvement state is given) ), It can be set as appropriate by combining the grant periods when the winning rate improvement state is given.
(14) Although the big hit game and the small hit game are provided as the hit games given when the hit determination is affirmative (winning), it is not always necessary to provide the small hit game. That is, only the big hit determination for determining whether or not to generate a big hit game can be performed as the hit determination.
(15) In the case where a big hit game and a small hit game are provided, in the embodiment, a big hit determination that determines whether or not a small hit game is generated after performing a big hit determination that determines whether or not a big hit game is generated is performed. However, it may be determined by a single hit determination whether or not a big hit game and a small hit game are generated. Specifically, in the range of values that the winning judgment random number can take, as a winning judgment value corresponding to the occurrence of a big hit game (big hit judgment value) and a winning judgment value corresponding to the occurrence of a small hit game (small hit judgment value) By setting different values and comparing the acquired hit determination random numbers with the hit determination value, it is possible to simultaneously determine whether or not to generate a big hit game or a small hit game.

(16) In the embodiment, all or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided by the sub-control means (overall control CPU). A part may be provided in the main control means. In the embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (overall control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the main control unit and the sub control unit in the embodiment may be provided in a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Further, a separate control board may be provided, and all or part of the functions of the main control means and the sub control means of the embodiment may be provided in another control means.
(17) In the embodiment, the display control means (display control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions of the overall control means (overall control CPU). The overall control means (overall control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions of the CPU). In the embodiment, the overall control means (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 board and the display control board in the embodiment may be shared by a control means (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.
(18) In the embodiment, a special figure display means (special figure display) for displaying a special figure is provided independently of the symbol display means (design display apparatus) for displaying a design symbol (decorative drawing). However, this is not a limitation. For example, you may make it display both a decoration drawing and a special figure in a symbol display means. Moreover, you may make it display on a symbol display means in common with a decorative drawing and a special drawing.
