Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine that notifies a variable display device by deriving and displaying a specific display result that a lottery for controlling to an advantageous state advantageous to a player is won. .

  Pachinko machines have a lottery lottery when a game ball launched in the game area wins the starting prize opening, and the prize winning opening is intermittently released for a certain period by winning the lottery result. It is controlled to the jackpot gaming state that is played (opening per round is one round), which is an advantageous state for the player. The fact that the winner of the jackpot lottery is won, the symbols are displayed on a variable display device such as a special display game, such as a liquid crystal display, and the predetermined symbols (generally the same type of symbols) are derived and displayed there. Is notified.

  By the way, in a pachinko machine, if a winning entry to the start winning opening is stored, a new special drawing game is started immediately after the completion of one special drawing game. In the special figure game, the pattern is changed continuously. Of course, in a special game based on a winning at the start winning opening, after temporarily stopping the fluctuation of all the symbols, the pseudo-changing is performed once or a plurality of times to display all the symbols again and again. There is a pattern that displays symbols in a variable pattern.

  As an example in which three symbols are variably displayed as a pattern that is variably displayed in such a pattern called a quasi-continuous pattern, only the right symbol is re-variable (slid) after the left and right symbols are temporarily stopped. As a display mode when the slip effect is performed and thereafter the three symbols are temporarily stopped, there is a display mode in which the symbols of the chance chances determined in advance are temporarily stopped among the lost symbols (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-188056 A (FIG. 105, paragraph 0462, etc.)

  An object of this invention is to provide the game machine which can improve the interest of a game.

The gaming machine according to the present invention performs variable display of a plurality of types of identification information (for example, decorative symbols) that can each be identified, and when a predetermined specific display result (for example, jackpot symbol) is derived and displayed. A gaming machine that controls a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player, and determines whether or not to enter the specific gaming state before the display result of the variable display of the identification information is derived and displayed. A variable display mode selection unit (for example, a variable pattern) for selecting a variable display mode (for example, a variation pattern) of the identification information based on the determination unit (for example, the CPU 56 of the main board 31) and the determination result of the predetermined unit The identification information is variably displayed according to the CPU 56) of the main board 31 and the variable display mode selected by the variable display mode selection means, and the display result of the variable display of the identification information is derived and displayed. Effect control means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80) for controlling the execution of the effect including the variable display effect to be displayed, and the effect control means is a revariable display mode as a variable display mode of the variable display of the identification information. When (for example, pseudo-continuous once / 2 times / 3 times / 4 times) is selected, the display of the variable display of the identification information is temporarily displayed after the variable display of the identification information is started. After stopping, re-variable display for variably displaying all the identification information is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, once or a plurality of times), and a plurality of types of reach variable display modes differ depending on the number of re-variable displays. The identification information may be variably displayed after the temporary stop before the temporary stop when the re-variable display mode is selected as the variable display mode of at least the variable display of the identification information. Notice Selecting the notice effect executing means for executing the notice effect and the timing for executing the notice effect by the notice effect executing means from at least the first timing and the second timing that is later than the first timing and earlier than the temporary stop. Possible timing selection means, wherein the timing selection means has the first timing and the second timing at different ratios depending on the variable display mode of the variable display of the identification information selected by the variable display mode selection unit. The timing for executing the notice effect is selected from the above.
You may make it further have the light-emitting body provided in the game frame, and the light emission control means which controls light emission of a light-emitting body.

  With this configuration, the interest of the game can be improved.

  A gaming machine according to the present invention includes a gaming frame provided with a light emitter (for example, a top frame lamp 40, a left frame lamp 41, a right frame lamp 42), and a detachable attachment to the gaming frame, and a plurality of types of identification information ( For example, a game board provided with a variable display device (for example, the variable display device 9) that displays a display result by variably displaying decorative symbols), and is advantageous for a player (for example, a big hit game state) ) Is a game machine that informs the variable display device by deriving and displaying a specific display result (for example, a jackpot symbol) that a lottery (for example, a jackpot lottery) has been won, and depending on the result of the lottery Then, a variation mode selection means (for example, a variation pattern) for selecting a variation mode (for example, a variation pattern) of the variation display of the identification information performed in the variation display device until the display result of the variation display is derived and displayed. For example, the CPU 56 of the main board 31) and the variable display that displays the identification information in a variable display device in accordance with the variable mode selected by the variable mode selection means and derives and displays the display result corresponding to the lottery result on the variable display device. Effect control means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80) for controlling the execution of the effect including the effect, and the effect control means has a re-variation mode (for example, pseudo-continuation 1) as the variation mode of the variable display. Discriminating that results in a non-specific display result different from the specific display result until the display result is derived and displayed after the change display of the identification information is started. After the information is temporarily stopped, a re-variable display executing means (for example, a re-display) for executing a re-variable display for displaying the identification information that has been temporarily stopped again for a predetermined number of times (for example, one or more times). The CPU 83 of the control board 80 and the fact that the identification information may be variably displayed again after the temporary stop when the re-variable aspect is selected as the variable aspect of the variable display, to the player before the temporary stop. Re-change notification means before temporary stop (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80) that performs notification (for example, prior simulation notice), and notifies that the specific display result may be derived and displayed according to the lottery result. A notice effect that executes a notice effect (for example, a notice effect including a step-up effect), which selects an effect aspect of the notice effect from a plurality of kinds of effect aspects, and executes the notice effect in the selected effect aspect. Execution means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80), and the re-variable display execution means temporarily stops the special display result (for example, chance chance) among the non-specific display results. Re-variable display for variably displaying all the identification information that has been stopped is performed a predetermined number of times, and the notice effect execution means starts the variation display of the identification information when the re-variation aspect is selected as the variation aspect of the variation display During the period from the first to the first temporary stop and the period during which the re-variation display is performed once or during each period during which the re-variation display is performed a plurality of times. The number of times of re-variable display is N (N) compared to the case where the first re-variation mode (for example, the variation pattern of the pseudo continuous 1 time / 2 times / 3 times) in which the number of times of display is M (M: natural number) is selected. : Natural number, N> M) second re-variation mode (for example, pseudo-ream 2 times / 3 times / 4-time variation patterns (first re-variation mode pseudo-ream 1 times / 2 times / 3 times respectively) The one corresponding to the fluctuation pattern)) will win the lottery The re-variation mode is selected so that the expectation level of the change is high, and the notice effect execution means is at a different rate when the first re-variation mode is selected and when the second re-variation mode is selected. Then, an effect mode of the notice effect is selected (for example, FIG. 6), and the re-change notifying means before temporary stop is notified by causing the light emitter to emit light (for example, FIG. 13).

  In addition, when the re-variation mode is selected, before the identification information is temporarily stopped, the player may notice that the identification information may be variably displayed again after the temporary stop by the re-change notification before temporary stop. In this way, the player can display the variation display of the identification information executed in the variation display device in a re-variation manner before the variation display of all the identification information including the temporary stop is stopped. You can expect to be In addition, since the notification by the re-change notification means before temporary stop is performed by causing the light emitter provided in the game frame to emit light, it is performed only by using the light emitter provided in the game board and the liquid crystal constituting the variable display device. However, it is possible to make the player easily recognize that the notification has been made.

  Here, the re-variation mode includes a first re-variation mode and a second re-variation mode (N times) in which the number of re-variation displays is greater than the first re-variation mode (M times). However, when the variation display is performed in the second re-variation mode, the expectation that the lottery is won is higher, but the first re-variation mode is selected or the second re-variation mode is selected. Depending on whether or not it has been done, the effect mode of the notice effect that is executed when it is notified that there is a possibility that the identification information may be variably displayed again after the temporary stop is selected. For this reason, re-variable display exceeding M times is performed due to the difference in the effect mode of the notice effect that is executed when it is notified that the identification information may be variably displayed again after the temporary stop ( = The possibility of winning the lottery will increase).

  In addition, the player's interest will be directed to whether or not it is notified that there is a possibility that the identification information may be changed and displayed again after the temporary stop before the temporary stop of the identification information. The player's attention level is increased throughout the process of displaying the fluctuations, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  It should be noted that the high expectation that the second re-variation mode is winning the lottery than the first re-variation mode is that the second re-variation mode is selected in the lottery. The ratio when winning is higher than the ratio when winning the lottery among the cases where the first re-variation mode is selected.

  In addition, the notification that the identification information may be changed and displayed again after the temporary stop is issued when the re-variation mode in which the re-change display is executed a plurality of times is selected. Before that, it is possible to give notice that the identification information may be displayed again after the temporary stop. For example, in the re-variation mode in which the re-variation display is performed twice, the identification information may be re-variably displayed after the first temporary stop (before the second temporary stop). It is possible to notify before the second temporary stop and notify that the identification information may be displayed again after the second temporary stop before the second temporary stop.

  In addition, there is a possibility that the identification information may be variably displayed again after the temporary stop, which means that the identification information must be notified before the temporary stop when the re-variation mode is selected. Instead, notification may be made at a certain rate. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the identification information may be variably displayed again after the temporary stop, even when a variation mode other than the re-variation mode is selected, a predetermined ratio ( However, the notification may be made at a lower rate) than when the re-variation mode is selected.

  In addition, the notice effect execution means includes a period from the start of the variation display of the identification information to the first temporary stop, a period during the re-variation display executed once, or a re-variation display performed a plurality of times. For each of the periods, an effect mode for each period can be selected. Here, for example, in the re-variation mode in which the re-variation display is executed twice, there are three execution periods of the notice effect, but even if the effect mode is selected for each time period, It is good also as what selects the pattern which determines the combination of the production | presentation aspect in each first.

  In addition, the game machine according to the present invention has a special feature that appears when a special mode (for example, a chance eye) that cannot appear or is difficult to appear other than when temporarily stopped is temporarily stopped. It includes a re-variation mode (for example, executing both a pseudo-preliminary notice and a pre-pseudo-notice) and a non-special re-variation mode in which a special mode does not appear (for example, executing only a pre-simulated notice) The previous re-change notification means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80), when the re-change mode is selected as the change mode of the change display, when the selected re-change mode is the special re-change mode and the non-special change mode. Different light emission modes (for example, lighting and flashing, lighting color, flashing time interval) of the light emitters (for example, the top frame lamp 40, the left frame lamp 41, and the right frame lamp 42) depending on the variation mode. It is characterized by.

  With this configuration, the effect of the prior pseudo-notice that is executed before the temporary stop in the special re-variation mode in which the special mode appears when temporarily stopped and in the non-special re-change mode that does not appear Since the light emission modes of the light emitters are made different, the player can pay attention to the light emission modes of the light emitters before the temporary stop, and the player's attention can be increased throughout the series of variable display processes. Interest can be improved. In addition, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display is executed in accordance with the difference in the light emission mode of the light emitter.

  In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention includes a game frame provided with operation means (for example, a chance button 16) that can be operated by the player, and is detachably attached to the game frame. And a game board provided with a variable display device (for example, a variable display device 9) that displays and displays a display result in a variable manner, and is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit game state) advantageous to the player A game machine for notifying the fact that a lottery (for example, a big hit lottery) has been won by deriving and displaying a specific display result (for example, a big hit symbol) on the variable display device, and changes depending on the lottery result Fluctuation mode selection means (for example, a variation pattern) for selecting a variation mode (for example, a variation pattern) of identification information variation display performed in the variation display device until the display result of the display is derived and displayed. For example, the CPU 56 of the main board 31 and the variable display that displays the identification information in a variable display device in accordance with the variable mode selected by the variable mode selection means, and the display result corresponding to the lottery result is derived and displayed on the variable display device. Effect control means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board) for controlling the execution of the effect including the effect, and the effect control means has a re-variation mode (for example, one pseudo-continuation) as the variation mode of the variable display. Identification information that becomes a non-specific display result different from the specific display result until the display result is derived and displayed after the change display of the identification information is started when / 2 times / 3 times / 4 times is selected After the temporary stop, the re-variable display executing means (for example, effect control) that executes the re-variable display for variably displaying all the temporarily stopped identification information again (for example, once or a plurality of times). When the re-variation mode is selected as the variation mode of the CPU 80) and the variation display, the player is informed before the temporary stop that the identification information may be changed and displayed again after the temporary stop. Pre-temporary stop re-change notification means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80) to perform (e.g., prior simulation advance notice), and an advance notice that the specific display result may be derived and displayed according to the lottery result A means for executing an effect (e.g., a notice effect including a step-up effect), selecting an effect mode of the notice effect from a plurality of types of effect modes, and executing the notice effect in the selected effect mode Means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80), and the re-variable display executing means temporarily stops the special display result (for example, chance chance) among the non-specific display results. When the re-variation mode is selected as the variation mode of the variation display, the notice effect execution means starts the variation display of the identification information when the variation mode of the variation display is selected. The notice effect is executed during the period until the first temporary stop and the period during which the re-variation display is executed once or during the period during which the re-variation display is executed a plurality of times. The number of times of re-variation display is N (N: natural number), compared to the case where the first re-variation mode (for example, the variation pattern of pseudo-continuous once / 2 times / 3 times) is selected with the number of times being M (M: natural number). , N> M) times of the second re-variation mode (for example, the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 2 times / 3 times / 4 times (the variation pattern of the first re-variation mode of the pseudo-ream 1 time / 2 times / 3 times, respectively) The person who chooses)) is selected for the lottery The re-variation mode is selected so that the degree of expectation is high, and the notice effect execution means performs the notice effect at a different ratio between when the first re-variation mode is selected and when the second re-variation mode is selected. The presentation mode is selected (for example, FIG. 6), and the re-change notification means before temporary stop is notified in accordance with the player's operation on the operation means (for example, one press, repeated hits). .

  With this configuration, since the pre-simulation notice is notified in accordance with the player's operation on the operation means, it is possible to give the player the impression that the re-variation mode has been generated by the player's own operation. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the game machine according to the present invention has a special feature that appears when a special mode (for example, a chance eye) that cannot appear or is difficult to appear other than when temporarily stopped is temporarily stopped. It includes a re-variation mode (for example, executing both a pseudo-preliminary notice and a pre-pseudo-notice) and a non-special re-variation mode in which a special mode does not appear (for example, executing only a pre-simulated notice) The previous re-change notification means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80), when the re-change mode is selected as the change mode of the change display, when the selected re-change mode is the special re-change mode and the non-special change mode. The player is characterized in that the operation mode of the player with respect to the operation means (for example, the chance button 16) is different (for example, one press and repeated hits).

  With this configuration, the effect of the prior pseudo-notice that is executed before the temporary stop in the special re-variation mode in which the special mode appears when temporarily stopped and in the non-special re-change mode that does not appear In order to make the operation mode for the operation means different, the player can pay attention to the operation mode for the operation means before the temporary stop, thereby increasing the player's attention level in the whole process of the variable display. Interest can be improved. Further, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display is executed according to the difference in the operation mode with respect to the operation means.

A main board (for example, the main board 31) on which the microcomputer (for example, the CPU 56) is mounted, and an effect control microcomputer (for example, the CPU 83) that is provided on the game board side and controls the effect of the game according to the progress of the game. ) Equipped with an effect control board (for example, effect control board 80) and a payout control microcomputer which is provided on the game frame side and controls payout means based on payout control signals from the game control microcomputer. A payout control board (for example, payout control board 36) and an effect device (for example, a top frame) provided on the game frame side and provided on the effect control board and the game frame side Relay board that relays wiring between the amplifier 40, the left frame lamp 41, the right frame lamp 42, and the chance button 16), a power supply board that is provided on the game frame side and creates a voltage used on the payout control board, A power line for supplying a power supply voltage from the power board to the main board and the effect control board is connected, and a first signal line for supplying a payout control signal from the main board to the payout control board, and the effect control board and the relay A second signal wiring for connecting to the board, wherein the first signal wiring and the second signal wiring are a frame side connector provided on the game frame side and a board side connector provided on the game board side. Wiring is connected to each other by coupling, and the frame-side connector and the board-side connector are respectively coupled by attaching the game board to the game frame.

  With this configuration, the signal wiring for supplying the payout control signal from the main board to the payout control board can be routed through the power supply board, and the number of connectors compared to the case where a connector is provided for the wiring from each board. Can be reduced.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the re-variation mode includes a plurality of types of re-variation modes (for example, pseudo-continuous once / 2 times / 3 times / 4 times) having different numbers of re-variable displays. In addition, the variation mode selection means wins a lottery of some re-variation modes (for example, pseudo-continuous four times) whose number of re-variation display is a predetermined number or more among a plurality of types of re-variation modes. (For example, the pseudo-quadruple 4 is selected only with a probability variation big hit, a probability variation promotion big hit, or a time-shortage big hit).

  According to this configuration, if the number of re-variable displays is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, it is determined that the lottery has been won. Therefore, the player can also pay attention to the number of re-variable displays themselves. In addition, as the number of re-variable displays increases and approaches the predetermined number, the player's expectation of winning the lottery can be increased. As a result, the player's attention level in the whole process of a series of change display is further increased, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the re-variation mode includes a plurality of types of re-variation modes (for example, pseudo-continuous once / 2 times / 3 times / 4 times) having different numbers of re-variable displays. The production control means performs the production from one stage to a plurality of stages according to a predetermined system which is a notice system that informs that the specific display result may be derived and displayed based on the lottery result. Step-up effect determination that determines the effect of the step-up effect to change to a higher stage at a higher rate than when the specific display result is not derived and displayed when the specific display result is derived and displayed Based on the determination result of the means (for example, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80) and the step-up effect determination means, the effect execution period from the start of the variation display of the identification information to the first temporary stop, and Step-up effect execution means (for example, CPU 83 of the effect control board 80) for executing the step-up effect during the effect execution period during the re-variable display executed twice or during each effect execution period during the re-variable display executed multiple times. The step-up effect determining means is executed in the L-th effect execution period only when a re-variation mode in which the effect execution count is larger than L times (L: natural number) is selected. Step-up effects of less than a predetermined number of stages are determined as up-effects (step-up 1 is the first time of pseudo-ream 1, first and second times of pseudo-ream 2, first-third of pseudo-ream 3, 4 is selected only in the first to fourth times of 4).

  The step-up effect is an effect indicating that the possibility that the specific display result is derived and displayed as the display result of the variation display of the identification information by changing the effect to many stages. Therefore, the player's sense of expectation is originally enhanced as the step-up stage progresses. On the other hand, the step-up effect executed in the L-th effect execution period may end in less than a predetermined number of stages. In this case, the display result is not yet derived and displayed, and the re-variable display is continued. It is confirmed that Thereby, even when the number of effects of the step-up effect is small, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will continue, and it is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the re-variation mode includes a plurality of types of re-variation modes (for example, pseudo-continuous once / 2 times / 3 times / 4 times) having different numbers of re-variable displays. In addition, a plurality of types of reach variation modes (for example, normal, super A, super B) in which the reach display mode appears as the display mode until the display result is derived and displayed after the identification information is temporarily stopped are included. The variation mode selection means selects a plurality of types of reach variation modes at different ratios according to the number of re-variation displays.

  With this configuration, the distribution of the number of re-variable displays and the distribution of the types of reach variation modes can produce a variety of effects by the variation display of identification information executed in the variation display device, thereby improving the interest of the game. it can.

The third specific display result (suddenly probable jackpot symbol) and the fourth specific display result (temporal jackpot symbol) are included. Display results other than the first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result are lost patterns.

  There are 2 ^ 7-1 = 127 combinations of the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b depending on the combination of lighting / non-lighting of the seven segments (^ represents a power and all of the seven segments are not lighted) This is excluded as a display result of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, so that 1 is subtracted). The first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result may include symbols that are relatively easy to understand for the player, such as numbers “0” to “9”. However, the combination of lighting / non-lighting of seven segments that cannot be recognized as meaningful characters is also adopted, and it is very difficult to specify the type of jackpot from the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become a thing.

  After the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to a probability variation state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal gaming state (or the short time state in which the probability variation state is not established).

  After the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the second big hit gaming state described later. After the end of the second jackpot gaming state, until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs, the gaming state is controlled to a short time state (a state in which the time for changing the display of special symbols and normal symbols is shortened). In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After displaying the fourth specific display result (short-time big hit symbol) on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to a first big hit gaming state to be described later. After the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the gaming state is controlled in a short-time state until the variable symbol display is performed 100 times on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, but the jackpot probability until the next jackpot occurrence is usually set It is controlled to the normal gaming state (becomes lower than the jackpot probability of the probability variation state). The occurrence of any type of jackpot in the normal gaming state is referred to as first hit.

  The variable display device 9 performs variable display of decorative symbols (for example, 10 types “0” to “9”) in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. The variable display device 9 is a variable display device for displaying the contents of the variable display performed by the special symbol display devices 10a and 10b to the player while enhancing the effect by the variable display of the decorative symbols. As long as the special symbol variable display is continued on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the definite display result for the big win lottery and the big hit type lottery is obtained even if the variable display of the decorative symbols is temporarily stopped (temporarily stopped). It has never been shown.

  Further, in the variable display device 9, effects (various effects such as step-up effects described later) by displaying characters are performed in accordance with the variably displayed decorative symbols. Further, the variable display device 9 is used not only for performing variable display of decorative symbols in accordance with variable display of special symbols, but also for performing big hit round effects.

  It should be noted that the control from the first jackpot state to the probability variation state (+ short time) is indicated by both the display of the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). There is no change in the control of the gaming state. However, when the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time are aligned with “1” or “7”. For example, it is notified that the state is controlled to the probability variation state.

  On the other hand, when the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed, the fourth specific display result (temporal bonus jackpot symbol) is displayed as the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time. Similarly to the time, it is not notified that the probability variation state is controlled by arranging with symbols other than “1” or “7”. The fact that it is controlled to the probability variation state is notified by a jackpot round effect executed in the first jackpot gaming state controlled after the second specific display result is displayed.

  When the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 are displayed in the same three decorative symbols as when the special symbols are displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become the aspect which is not prepared. Note that the second jackpot gaming state controlled by the sudden probability jackpot, as will be described later, is that the opening of the big prize opening 21 is completed in a very short period, and the jackpot round effect is not executed until the next fluctuation display starts. Since the symbols are kept displayed, the player is given an impression that the game is controlled from the normal gaming state (including the short-time state) to the probability fluctuation state without noticing that the player has suddenly made a profound change. It is possible to do.

  Note that an aspect in which three decorative symbols that are not any of the first to fourth specific display results are not arranged is a lost symbol. A specific combination of lost symbols (for example, a combination of “1-3-5” and “1-5-3”) is displayed only when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped with a fluctuating variation pattern described later. (Although it may be a lost pattern other than the chance that is displayed when the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped in the fluctuating pattern of the pseudo-ream), as a display result The combination of lost symbols is of a form other than the chance eye.

  In addition, when the special symbol display 10a or 10b performs variable display of the special symbol and the variable display device 9 performs variable display of the decorative symbol, the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on or the accessory 26 is displayed. There is a case where an effect by driving is performed. The effects by the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26 are all the decorations again after the temporary stop before the three decorative patterns are temporarily stopped, particularly when the decorative symbols are variably displayed in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern described later. Used to notify that the symbol will change again. Note that the advance notice is a notification that the contents shown may possibly occur, and is distinguished from a notice that is a notice definitely showing that the contents shown thereby occur.

  Below the variable display device 9, a game ball enters the start winning opening 14a, 14b, and the start condition is established, but the start condition of the special symbol displays 10a, 10b (for example, end of variable display of the previous special symbol, Special symbol hold memory as a hold memory number display means for displaying each hold memory number stored in RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) of main board 31 described later as the number of times that the start condition is not established (end of jackpot gaming state). Indicators 11a and 11b are provided.

  The special symbol hold memory indicator 11a is composed of four LEDs, and each time there is an effective start prize (start prize when the number of reserved memories is less than 4 in the present embodiment) to the start prize opening 14a, the LED is displayed. One LED is lit, and each time the special symbol variable display is started on the special symbol display 10a, the number of lit LEDs is decreased by one. That is, one LED is turned off. Similarly, for the special symbol storage memory display 11b, every time there is an effective start winning in the start winning opening 14b, one LED is turned on, and the special symbol display 10b starts variable display of the special symbol. Each time, the number of lit LEDs is reduced by one.

  In the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2), the jackpot extracted by the CPU 56 (see FIG. 2) of the main board 31 when the special symbol start condition in the special symbol display device 10a is established (the hit ball wins the start winning opening 14a). Four pending storage buffers are provided for storing the extraction order of various random numbers such as random numbers for determination in an identifiable manner. The special symbol on-hold storage display 11a displays the number of on-hold storage buffers in which various random numbers are stored (the number of on-hold storage) among the on-hold storage buffers so as to be specified. In the reserved storage buffer, numerical data for which the start condition (for example, end of variable display of the last special symbol, end of jackpot gaming state) is not yet established among the extracted random numbers as a predetermined upper limit number Up to 4 are stored. A similar reserved memory buffer is provided for the special symbol reserved memory display 11b.

  The winning balls that have entered the start winning ports 14a and 14b are respectively guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the start switches 62a and 62b (see FIG. 2). The variable winning device 15 is opened by a solenoid 71 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71 in accordance with the result of variable display of a normal symbol, which will be described later. This makes it easier for the game ball to win the start winning opening 14a (easier to start winning), and for the player. This is an advantageous state.

  Further, the special variable winning device 20 is movable by a solenoid 72 (see FIG. 2) and is in an acceptable state in which a game ball can be won in the grand prize winning port 21, and in an unacceptable state in which a game ball cannot be won in the grand prize winning port 21. The large winning opening 21 is opened in the acceptable state. Also, the winning ball guided from the special variable winning device 20 to the back of the game board 6 is detected by the count switch 63 (see FIG. 2). A solenoid 73 (see FIG. 2) for switching the route in the special winning opening 21 is also provided on the back of the game board 6.

  In the first jackpot gaming state, the special variable prize winning device 20 is in a state in which the big prize opening 21 is opened until a predetermined time elapses from the opening of the big prize opening 21 or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins. And Until a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds in the first jackpot gaming state, 1 second in the second jackpot gaming state) has elapsed after the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened or closed, or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls One round is required until winning the big prize opening 21. The jackpot gaming state is a gaming state in which the opening of the big winning opening 21 is repeatedly provided for a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times).

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 also opens the prize winning opening 21 only twice in a very short time (for example, about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds) in the second jackpot gaming state. The gaming state before being controlled to the probability variation state when a sudden probability change big hit is this second big hit gaming state. In the second jackpot gaming state, the opening of the grand prize winning opening 21 is performed only for a very short period. Therefore, when one hit ball is finished without winning the big winning prize opening 21, it is controlled to the probability variation state. In many cases, the player is not aware of the fact that the game is controlled to the second big hit gaming state.

  Further, on the right side of the game area 7, a normal symbol display 12 made up of a pair of left and right LEDs labeled “◯” and “×” is provided. The normal symbol display 12 can variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When the gate switch 61 (see FIG. 2) detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b, a random number for determination per normal symbol is extracted and the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31 (see FIG. 2). In the normal symbol buffer of FIG. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol that can be stored in the normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) is four. If the normal symbol display 12 can start variable display in which the normal symbol display state changes ("○" and "x" are alternately lit), that is, the end of the previous variable display in the normal symbol display 12). The normal symbol variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is started.

  Above the normal symbol display 12, a normal symbol holding storage indicator having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer. 13 is provided. When the gate switch 61 detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b and a new random number for determining the normal symbol is stored, the normal symbol storage memory display 13 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. . Each time the normal symbol display 12 starts variable display of normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”), the number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by one.

  On the normal symbol display 12, the left and right lamps marked with ○ and X (the symbols can be visually recognized when lit) are alternately lit, whereby the normal symbol is variably displayed. For example, if the time-short state is 2.9 seconds, otherwise it is 29.2 seconds). Then, if the left lamp marked with ○ is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. When the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is correct, the variable winning device 15 is only for a predetermined time (for example, 2.9 seconds in the time-short state and 1.4 seconds in the time-short state). Opened.

  Whether or not to win the result of variable display of the normal symbol is determined by the value of the random number for determination per normal symbol extracted when the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b and the game ball is detected by the gate switch 61. Is determined according to whether or not the value matches a predetermined judgment value per ordinary symbol. The hit probability is very high (for example, 35/36) in the short-time state, but is low (for example, 1/36) if it is not in the short-time state. In the short-time state, since the percentage of the variable winning device 15 being in the open state is very high in this way, the number of game balls held by the player is not reduced (or even if it is reduced, the reduction amount is very small). The game is ready to proceed.

  Winning holes 29a to 29d are provided on the left and lower sides of the gate 28a and on the lower and right sides of the gate 28b, respectively. When it is detected by the winning port switch 64a (see FIG. 2) that a game ball has won the winning ports 29a to 29d, a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. The payout of the game ball is also performed by winning the game ball to the start winning ports 14a and 14b and the big winning port 21, but is not performed even if the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b.

  In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there is provided an out port 79 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7.

Is input to the effect control board 80.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, on the game board 6 side, the main board 31 and the relay board B3 are wiring L1, the effect control board 80 and the relay board B3 are wiring L2, and the effect control board 80 and the relay board. B4 is connected to the wiring L3. On the other hand, on the game frame side, the power supply board B1 and the payout control board 36 are connected by a wiring L4. Here, the board side connector 140 is provided on the relay board B3, and the frame side connector 115 is provided on the wiring L5 connected to the power supply board B1. The relay board B3 and the power supply board B1 are electrically connected by coupling the panel-side connector 140 and the frame-side connector 115. Further, the board side connector 146 is provided on the relay board B4, and the frame side connector 116 is provided on the wiring L6 connected to the frame relay board B2. The relay board B4 and the frame relay board B2 are electrically connected by the connection of the panel side connector 146 and the frame side connector 116.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, a payout control signal for controlling the ball payout device 44 output from the main board 31 is supplied to the payout control board 36 via the relay board B3 and the power supply board B1. On the other hand, the power supply voltage from the power supply board B1 is supplied to the main board 31 via the relay board B3. Further, as shown in FIG. 12C, the power supply voltage from the power supply board B1 is supplied to the effect control board 80 via the relay board B3. On the other hand, the drive signal output from the effect control board 80 to the effect device provided on the game frame side is supplied to each effect device via the relay board B4 and the frame relay board B2.

  FIG. 12A shows a floating connector (board-side connector 140 and frame-side connector 115) for connecting the power supply board B1 and the relay board B3, and a floating connector for connecting the frame relay board B2 and the relay board B4. In this example, two sets of floating connectors (board side connector 146 and frame side connector 116) are provided on the game board 6 side and the game frame side. Instead, for example, only one set of floating connectors is provided on the game board 6 side and the game frame side, and the main board 31 and the effect control board 80 and the payout control board 36 are connected by the same floating connector. At the same time, the effect control board 80 and the frame relay board B2 may be connected.

  As described above, by using the floating connector, the signal wiring for connecting the main board 31 or the effect control board 80 and the payout control board 36 and the power supply for connecting the main board 31 or the effect control board 80 and the power supply board are used. Wiring can be connected together. Therefore, the number of connectors can be reduced as compared with the case where the signal wiring and the power supply wiring are connected via separate connectors. As a result, even if the number of wires is the same, the number of connectors is small, the installation area on the game board 6 and the front frame 110 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. Further, it is not necessary to overlap common lines such as ground lines, and the number of wirings can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variation display on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment and the decorative symbol variation display on the variable display device 9 will be described. Whether or not the result of the change display of the special symbol is a jackpot, and if it is a jackpot, which type of jackpot is to be selected, and which of the special pattern change pattern is to be extracted at the start winning prize Based on various random numbers, it is determined when the start condition for displaying special symbols on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b is satisfied.

  First, the determination of jackpot will be described. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a jackpot determination table stored in the ROM 54. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot is determined based on the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3 (a) and the jackpot determination random number among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning (random R: 0 to 65535). And is determined based on the value of. In normal time (non-probability fluctuation), if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1000 to 1059 or 13320 to 13477, it is determined to be a jackpot, otherwise it is determined to be lost. decide. On the other hand, at the time of probability variation, if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1020-1519 or 13320-15004, it is determined to be a jackpot, and if it is any other value, it is determined to be lost.

  Next, determination of the jackpot type will be described. FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C are diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. Here, FIG. 3 (b) is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol display 10a performs variable display of the special symbol, and FIG. 3 (c) is a special symbol display. It is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol is variably displayed on the device 10b.

  When the special symbol display unit 10a performs variable display of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variable symbolic display based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table is to be a jackpot, the start prize is further awarded. If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted from time to time is 5 or 7, it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, and if it is 0, 1, or 3, it is determined that the probability change promotion jackpot If it is 9, it is determined that it is suddenly a promising jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined that it is a jackpot.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10b performs variable display of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol is a jackpot based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table, If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0 to 9) among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning is 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1 or 3, it is determined as a probable change promotion jackpot If it is 0 or 9, it is suddenly determined to be a promiscuous jackpot, and if 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined to be a short-term jackpot.

  By the way, in the probability variation state, a big hit is made with a probability of 1/30. However, until the new big win occurs, the special symbol variable display is controlled without limitation of the number of times of execution. In the short time state, the percentage of the variable winning device 15 in the open state is very high, and the start winning port 14a for causing the special symbol display 10a to be given priority over the special symbol display 10b to perform variable display. Reservation memory due to winning a prize is rarely interrupted.

  When the special symbol display 10b performs variable display of the special symbol, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is 2/5 (= 4/10) in the case of the jackpot, whereas the special symbol indicator 10b is special. When the special display is variably displayed on the symbol display 10b, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is ½ (= 5/10) that of the jackpot. In other words, once a probability variation jackpot or a probabilistic promotion jackpot occurs, after the first jackpot gaming state based on it ends, the player can acquire more game balls through the first jackpot gaming state. As a result, the ratio of the probability fluctuation state is high.

  Next, determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a special symbol variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 54. When the start condition is satisfied, the special symbol variation pattern is determined according to the result of the special symbol variation display (whether or not the jackpot is set, or the jackpot type when the jackpot is set). However, in order to simplify the explanation here, it is assumed that the determination of the variation pattern in the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, and the probability variation promotion jackpot is the same.

  When determining a variation pattern, first, the type of variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning. In the case of a loss, first, the first type (no reach, with reach) is determined based on the value of the first variation pattern determination random number, and the second type (no reach, with reach) is determined based on the second variation pattern determination random number. No pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, 3 pseudo-reams) are determined. Here, it can be seen that there are pseudo-reams that are not reachable. Further, based on the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern, the variation pattern (normal variation 1 or normal variation 2 for the type without reach. For the type with reach, after normal two frames, before normal one frame, after normal one frame. , After Super A2 frame, before Super A1 frame, after Super A1 frame, after Super B2 frame, before Super B1 frame, after Super B1 frame).

  On the other hand, in the case of a probability variation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, and a short-term jackpot, the display result of the decorative pattern to be described later is a jackpot display mode, and the reach display mode always appears as a premise thereof, so the first variation pattern determination random number is Ignoring and determining the type (no pseudo-series, 1 pseudo-series, 2 pseudo-series, 3 pseudo-series, 4 pseudo-series) based on the second random number for determining the variation pattern. The quasi-continuous 4 times is a type that can be selected only in the case of a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, and a short-term jackpot. Further, the variation pattern (per normal, per super A, per super B, per full rotation) is determined based on the value of the random number for variation pattern determination.

  When there is a loss and reach, and when the probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-term jackpot, the variation pattern type is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, or pseudo-run Four times (only in the case of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot) are determined, but the variation patterns distributed in each type are variation patterns in which the reach display mode appears. If the difference in the number of frames when losing and reaching is not taken into consideration, the variation patterns distributed by these types are normal, super A, super B, and full rotation.

  However, the normal is a variation pattern that is not sorted when a type of pseudo-quadruple four times is selected with a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. Further, the total rotation is a variation pattern that can be distributed only when a type of pseudo-simulation 3 or pseudo-simulation 4 times is selected with probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-time jackpot.

  Further, for example, in the case of losing and having reach, the types of reach that can be assigned in any of the types of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams are the same. The distribution ratio of the variation pattern differs for each type. Similarly, the type of reach that can be assigned to any type of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, short-term jackpot, no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, or two pseudo-reams, is the same. The distribution ratio of the variation pattern is different for each. The total turn reach is a jackpot reach, but the fluctuation pattern is distributed so that the expectation of jackpot is higher in Super A than in Normal, and Super B than Super A. .

  Further, in the case of a big hit, since the reach display mode does not appear in the variation display of the decorative pattern, which will be described later, and it does not become a pseudo-ream, both the first variation pattern determination random number and the second variation pattern determination random number Ignoring it, it is always determined as a type without pseudo-ream, and the types of pseudo-ream 1 time, pseudo-ream 2 times, pseudo-ream 3 times, and pseudo-ream 4 times are not selected. Further, the fluctuation pattern (sudden probability variation 1 and sudden probability variation 2) is determined based on the random number for variation pattern determination.

  When it is determined that the result of the special symbol variation display is lost, the probability of selecting “no reach” and “reach” is P1 and P2, respectively (P1 + P2 = 1, P1 >> P2). Without reach, the probabilities of selecting the types of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams are A0, A1, A2, and A3 (A0 + A1 + A2 + A3 = 1). Here, the probability A0 for selecting “no pseudo-ream” is overwhelmingly high, and the greater the number of pseudo-reams, the smaller the number of times selected.

  In the presence of reach, the probability of selecting the types of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams is B0, B1, B2, and B3 (B0 + B1 + B2 + B3 = 1). Here again, the probability B0 that the pseudo-ream is selected is higher than the probability B1, B2, and B3 that the pseudo-ream is selected, but the overwhelming difference as in the case without reach is overwhelming. There is no.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, and a short-term jackpot, there is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, The probabilities of selecting the four types of pseudo-continuous are C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4 (C0 + C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 = 1). Here, the probability C0 of selecting no pseudo-continuity is lower than the probabilities A0 and B0 of selecting no pseudo-continuity in the case of a loss, and is lower than the selection probabilities C1, C2, C3, and C4 with pseudo-continuity. May be.

  Here, when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot, the reach display mode appears. On the other hand, the reach display mode does not appear when the probability big hit is determined, and the reach display mode appears only with the probability of P2 when the loss is determined. Accordingly, when the degree of expectation that the reach display mode appears in each variation pattern increases, the degree of expectation that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation promotion jackpot, and a time bonus jackpot also increases.

  By the way, the pseudo-ream means that the decorative symbol is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the special symbol variation display, but for one special symbol variation display (that is, one start winning), After temporarily changing the decorative symbol display in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c (the updating of the symbol is stopped but not confirmed, and may be swayed). This refers to a decorative display variation display pattern in which re-variable display for variably displaying all decorative designs is performed once or a plurality of times. For example, one pseudo-ream is a pattern in which this re-variation display is performed only once for a special symbol variation display for one time (a total of two variation displays are performed before and after the re-variation display). . The pseudo-continuous 4 times is a pattern in which this re-variation display is performed 4 times (a total of 5 variation displays are performed) with respect to the variation display of the special symbol for one time, and the fifth variation display is started. It is a pattern that clearly shows that the probability change jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined at this stage.

  In addition, the reach display mode appears in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern (normal, super A, and super B patterns) in the last of a plurality of variation displays performed in a series of variation display processes. It is only a change display from the temporary stop to the final stop. For example, in the normal (two frames after, one frame before, one frame after, hit) pattern of the two pseudo-continuations, the variable display from the start of the variable display to the first temporary stop, and the first temporary stop The reach display mode does not appear in the variable display from the first to the second temporary stop. Normal reach appears as a reach display mode in the variable display from the second temporary stop to the final stop.

  Note that the special symbol (and decorative symbol) variation display time is determined according to the variation display type and the variation pattern type (normal variation 1, normal variation 2, normal, super A, super B, full rotation). It will be a thing. The larger the number of pseudo-reams, the longer the display time of the variation. For example, a normal variation 1 with three pseudo-reams has a variation time approximately three times that of a normal variation 1 without a pseudo-ream. In addition, the fluctuation time in the reach fluctuation (the last fluctuation display in the case of pseudo-ream) is longer in Super A than in Normal, and Super B is longer than Super A.

  Here, there is no difference in the type and type of the variation pattern between the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 10a and the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 10b, and the results of the variation display are the same. In comparison, there is no difference in the selection probability of the variation pattern type. However, when the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probable change promotion jackpot is higher and the probability of the sudden probability change jackpot is lower than that of the special symbol display 10b. In consideration of this, the type of variation pattern and the selection of the type differ depending on which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  For example, even if the special symbol display is performed on any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the loss ratio does not change, so there is no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams. The ratio of selection of types (including those with no reach and those with reach) remains the same. On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10a performs variable display of the special symbol, since the probability of sudden probability variation is lower than that when the special symbol display 10b performs variable display, there is no pseudo-continuation. The probability of being selected is relatively low.

  More specifically, when the jackpot probability is X (X is 1/300 or 1/30), there is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, 4 pseudo-runs The selection probability of (1−X) × P1 × A0 + (1−X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0 + 0.1 × X when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a. (1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1, (1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2, (1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3, X * 0.9 * C4. (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10b is used to display the variation of the special symbol, (1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0 + 0.2 × X, (1- X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1, (1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2, (1- X) * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3, X * 0.8 * C4 (this relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  Here, {(1-X) * P1 * A0 + (1-X) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.9 * C0 + 0.1 * X} / {(1-X) * P1 * A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.8 * C0 + 0.2 * X <{(1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1} / {(1-X) * P1 * A1 ++ (1-X) * P2 * B1X * 0.8 * C1 <{(1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2} / {(1- X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2 <{(1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3 / {( 1−X) × P1 × A3 + (1−X) × P2 × B3 + X × 0.8 × C3,} <{X × 0.9 × C4} / {X × 0.8 × C4} = 1 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30. ). Therefore, it is understood that the number of times that the re-variation display is performed is more likely to be performed when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a than when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10b.

  In addition, the probability that four pseudo-reams will be selected in the case of a loss (with reach and no reach) is A4 (= 0) and B4 (= 0), and the probability that there will be no pseudo-ream in the case of a sudden hit. In the case of C0 (= 1), when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a, X × 0.9 × C0 / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0 + 0.1 × C0) <X × 0.9 × C1 / ((1-X) × P1 × A1 + (1-X) × P2 × B1 + X × 0.9 × C1) < X * 0.9 * C2 / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) <X * 0.9 * C3 / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3) <X * 0.9 * C4 / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0. 9 x C4 ) = 1 (this relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  Even when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10b, X × 0.8 × C0 / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0 + 0.1 × C0) <X × 0.8 × C1 / ((1-X) × P1 × A1 + (1-X) × P2 × B1 + X × 0.8 × C1) <X × 0.8 × C2 / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) <X * 0.8 * C3 / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) XP2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3) <X * 0.8 * C4 / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30). Therefore, it can be seen that when the special symbol display is performed on any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the probability variation big hit, the probable change promotion big hit, or the short time big hit tends to increase as the number of re-variable displays increases.

  Further, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display 10a, ((1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0) / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.9 * C0 + 0.1 * C0) <((1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1) / ((1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1) <((1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) <((1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3) / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3 ) <((1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.9 * C4) / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.9 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is such that X is 1 300 even 1/30, even the same).

  Even when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10b, ((1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0) / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.8 * C0 + 0.2 * C0) <((1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1) / ((1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1) <((1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) <((1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3) / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3 ) <((1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is such that X is 1/300 Even even 1/30 the same). Therefore, it can be seen that the reach display mode is more likely to appear as the number of re-variable displays increases.

  When the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined, a command indicating the determined variation pattern is transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31 to the effect control substrate 80, whereby the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbol display area 9a to 9a. In 9c, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Further, a command indicating whether or not to make a jackpot and a command indicating the type of jackpot are also transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 to the effect control board 80 together with the command indicating the variation pattern, whereby the variable display device 9 has the special symbol display 10a. The result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is derived and displayed at the timing when the result of the variation display of the special symbol is displayed at 10b.

  The variation display mode of the decorative symbol in the variable display device 9 differs depending on the variation pattern of the special symbol determined based on the special symbol variation pattern determination table of FIG. That is, the special symbol variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern determination random number, and the variation pattern determination random number are used for the decoration symbol in the variable display device 9 rather than the determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It is closer to the actual situation that it is used to determine the fluctuation pattern. There is a difference in the special symbol variation display between the normal variation 1 without pseudo-continuous and the sudden probability variation 1, and the normal variation 2 without sudden sequence and the sudden probability variation 2, but there is no difference in the decorative symbol variation display.

  The decorative symbol variation display is executed with a variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol determined in the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31. When it is other than the variation, various effects different from the variation display of the decorative design itself may be performed in the variation display process. As such an effect, a pseudo-announcement in which a change pattern is displayed in advance for executing a re-variable display in a pseudo-series (one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series or four pseudo-series), and a decorative pattern There is a reach notice effect for notifying that a reach display mode appears in the variable display.

  In the pseudo-run announcement and reach notice production, depending on the difference in the production to be executed, the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot, the reach display mode appears, or the A special symbol display will be given to the player with the expectation that the variable display will continue, in addition to the expectation given to the player with pseudo-continuous notice or reach notice effect when any effect is executed The player is given a sense of expectation depending on which of the devices 10a and 10b is used to variably display special symbols.

  First, the pseudo continuous notice will be described. The quasi-continuous notice is an effect for notifying that the decorative symbol will be displayed again after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. The pseudo-preliminary notice executed before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and the decorative symbol variable indicator are temporarily displayed. There is a pseudo notice after it is executed when it stops. In the case of two to four pseudo-continuations, not only the first temporary stop, but also the decorative symbols are displayed again and again after each temporary stop for each variation display included in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern. It will be noticed. Here, the pseudo continuous notice mode will be described first, and the determination of the pseudo continuous notice to be executed will be described later.

  The pre-simulation notice is made by turning on the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 or driving the accessory 26 during the change display before the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped by the change pattern of the pseudo series. This is a pseudo-annual notice to be executed. The pre-simulation notice includes an early execution timing and a late execution timing. For example, the pre-simulation notice that the execution timing is early is, for example, the timing at which the display of the decorative pattern is started (or the display of the display after the temporary stop) is started, or the display of the decorative pattern is still temporarily stopped with respect to the display after the temporary stop. The execution starts at the timing of the time (the preliminary simulation notice that starts while the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped notifies the fact that the variable display is executed after the next temporary stop). For example, the late pre-notice is started after a certain period of time has elapsed since the decorative display (after the temporary stop) of the decorative pattern is started.

  As described above, in addition to lighting the decorative lamps 25a to 25c provided on the game board 6 and driving the accessory 26 as the effect means of the pre-simulation notice, the frame lamps 40 to 40 provided on the glass door frame 2 are used. By turning on 42, it is possible to make the player easily recognize the prior notice in comparison with a case where notification is made only with a decorative lamp or the like provided on the game board 6. In addition to the frame lamps 40 to 42, a sound output from a speaker provided on the glass door frame 2 may be used as the production means for the pseudo continuous notice.

  In addition, in the preliminary simulation, in addition to lighting the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42, it is executed by driving the accessory 26, and the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are displayed. Some are executed only by lighting, and some are executed only by driving the accessory 26. For each of these, there are an early execution timing and a late execution timing, and there are six types of pre-simulation notices according to the difference between the rendering means in which the pre-simulation notice is executed and the execution timing. Furthermore, there are more types of pre-simulation notices according to the difference in the production mode.

  Furthermore, in the prior pseudo notice (including those used in combination with the driving of the accessory 26) executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42, the number of executions of re-variable display in the pseudo series (next execution) This is the number of executions including the re-variable display, but if one subtraction is subtracted from this, the number of executions of the re-variable display will not change. The number of executions is not notified directly, but the number of executions is notified according to the difference between the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 that are lit. For example, when the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are taken as an example, when the first re-change display is notified, the notification is made only by lighting the decoration lamp 25a, but the second time is notified by lighting the two decoration lamps 25a and 25b. The third time is notified by lighting of the two decorative lamps 25b and 25c, and the fourth time is notified by lighting of all the decorative lamps 25a to 25c.

  However, in the preliminary pseudo-notice that is executed when the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on, one of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 that is turned on performs the original re-variable display. It may be different from the number of times. As shown in more detail later, there is a high possibility that a new re-variable display will be performed after the re-variable display announced in the previous pseudo-notice, as will be described in detail later. It shows that it becomes.

  On the other hand, the post-preliminary notice displays a chance eye that is a missed appearance that cannot appear except in the case of such temporary stop when the decorative design temporarily stops with a fluctuating pattern of pseudo-ream, After all the temporarily stopped symbols are variably displayed again, a notice is given that a re-variable display including a temporary stop and a variably displayed decorative symbol will be executed. Since all the symbols are changed and displayed again from the fourth temporary stop, the decorative symbols are not temporarily stopped again. Therefore, the post-pseudo advance notice is executed until the third temporary stop. The post-pseudo notice is included and executed in the process of displaying the decorative symbols, but is not determined on the main board 31 side, but on the side of the effect control board 80 in accordance with the pseudo-variable variable display pattern. To decide.

  In addition, there are two types of chance eyes displayed in the post-simulation notice, chance eyes A (for example, “1-3-5”) and chance eyes B (for example, “1-5-3”). One of those chances is displayed in the notice.

  Next, determination of the pseudo continuous notice (including no pseudo continuous notice) to be executed will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing various tables for determining the pseudo continuous notice to be executed. When determining the pseudo-continuous notice to be executed when the pseudo-series 1 time, the pseudo-series 2 times, the pseudo-series 3 times, or the pseudo-series 4 times is selected as the type of the variation pattern, the first random number is extracted. Referring to the table shown in FIG. 5A in accordance with the extracted first random number, first, there is no pseudo-announcement, the pre-simulation notice is executed, the post-simulation notice is executed, or both the pre-simulation notice and the post-simulation notice Is determined to be executed.

  This determination is determined when the decorative symbol variation display is started. For example, when the post-simulation notice is determined in two pseudo-continuations, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped twice. Pseudo notice (stop chance chance) is performed. Also, for the sake of simplicity, here, there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execution of prior pseudo-notice, and post-pseudo notice in any of the pseudo-series 1, the pseudo-series 2, the pseudo-series 3 times, or the pseudo-series 4 times. Or the execution probability of both the pre-preliminary notice and the post-pseudo-preliminary notice shall be the same (however, depending on whether the probability change jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined) However, the selection probabilities may be different in one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series, or four pseudo-series.

  In addition, the probability of selecting whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, post-pseudo-predictive notice, pre-simulated notice, or both is selected as one of probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot, or short-term jackpot Depending on whether or not. In other words, the selection probabilities for selecting whether to execute the post-pseudo advance notice, execute the pre-pseudo notice, or execute both are α1, α2 when the probability variation jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is not determined, respectively. , Α3, α4, and when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined, β1, β2, β3, and β4, respectively. The selection probabilities α4 and β4 for executing both are considerably higher than the selection probabilities α1 and β1 without pseudo-announcement, the selection probabilities α2 and β2 for executing post-pseudo-notice, and the selection probabilities α3 and β3 for executing the preceding pseudo-notice. The number is low.

  Here, the selection probability β2 of the post-pseudo-notice when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined is slightly lower than α2. The selection probability β3 for executing the prior pseudo notice and the selection probability β4 for executing both are higher than the selection probabilities α3 and α4 when neither is determined, and in particular, the selection probability β4 for executing both is α4 Is much higher than. β4 is only slightly higher than α4. Accordingly, the selection probability β1 without pseudo-announcement is significantly lower than α1. There is a magnitude relationship of α1 >> β1, α2> β2, α3 <β3, α4 << β4. From this, a relationship of β1 / α1 <β2 / α2 <β3 / α3 <β4 / α4 occurs.

  In the case of the loss calculated in consideration of the jackpot probability or the reach probability, the selection probability of executing both the pseudo-preliminary notice, the post-pseudo notice, and the pre-false notice is {(1−X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + ( 1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} × α1, {(1-X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} × α2, {(1-X) × P1 X (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) * P2 * (B1 + B2 + B3)} * [alpha] 3, {(1-X) * P1 * (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) * P2 * (B1 + B2 + B3)} * [alpha] 4.

  On the other hand, if the probability of probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot probability is Y (Y is 9/10 or 8/10) among jackpots, probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot or hourly jackpot The selection probabilities of executing both the pseudo-preliminary notice, the post-pseudo notice, and the pre-simulated notice are {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β1, {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β2, {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β3, {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β4.

  For example, when the probability of a probability variation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot is determined without pseudo-announcement, [{(1-X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} × α1] / [{X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β1] = [{(1-X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} / { X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)}] × [α1 / β1].

  Here, [{(1−X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1−X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} / {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)}] = Z, there is no pseudo continuous notice , After pseudo-preliminary notice, and pre-pseudo-predictive, both the probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or time-shortage jackpot probability are Z × (β1 / α1), Z × (β2 / α2), Z × (Β3 / α3), Z × (β4 / α4).

  Since (1-X) >> X, it is considered that Z> 1, and since there is a relationship of β1 / α1 <β2 / α2 <β3 / α3 <β4 / α4, Z × (β1 / α1) <Z It can be seen that a relationship of × (β2 / α2) <Z × (β3 / α3) <Z × (β4 / α4) occurs. Therefore, the expected degree of probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot or short-term jackpot varies depending on the execution of the pseudo-preliminary notice, the post-pseudo notice is executed, and both are executed differently (like the modes described later) , The expectation is high).

  Since the probability of the reach display appearance is increased by determining whether the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined, there is no execution of the pseudo-announcement, execution of the pre-prediction notice, execution of the post-pseudo notice Depending on the execution and the difference in execution, the degree of expectation that the reach display mode appears will also be different. Although there is no particular formula for this, even if it is calculated in the same manner as described above, the relationship can be understood. In addition, if any one of probability fluctuation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot is determined, it is easy to select the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream with a large number of times. The degree of expectation that the re-variation display in the pseudo-continuation will be different depending on the execution of the post-pseudo advance notice and the difference in both executions.

  The execution probability of the post-pseudo advance notice (including the case where it is executed together with the pre-pseudo notice), that is, the probability that the chance eye is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped is either a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot Depending on whether or not is determined, the chances for the probability that the display result is lost (lost or sudden big hit) without displaying chance chances in the decorative display of the decorative pattern will be displayed without winning chances. The ratio of the probability of becoming a (probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot) is different from the ratio of the probability of being a jackpot when the chance eye is displayed with respect to the probability that the chance eye is displayed and lost.

  Of course, the execution probability of the post-pseudo-notice is set to the above ratio depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot has been determined, so that the decorative symbol variation display The ratio of the probability that the reach display mode does not appear but the probability that the reach display mode appears but the probability that the reach display mode does not appear is displayed. Thus, the ratio of the probability that the reach display mode appears is also different.

  Furthermore, the ratio of the probability that the re-change display is executed M times and the chance eye is displayed with respect to the probability that the re-change display is executed only M times and the chance eye is not displayed in the decorative symbol display is N times (N > M) and the ratio of the probability that the re-variation display is executed N times and the chance that the chance is displayed is different from the probability that the re-variation display is executed and the chance is not displayed.

  In addition, the ratio of executing the pre-preliminary notice when the post-false notice is executed (that is, when the chance eye is displayed) when any one of the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly / temporary jackpot is determined Is α4 / (α2 + α4), and the rate at which the pre-simulation notice is executed when the post-simulation notice is not executed (that is, when the chance eye is not displayed) is α3 / (α1 + α3). In addition, when the post-false notice is executed when the loss is determined (that is, when the chance eye is displayed), the rate at which the pre-false notice is also executed is β4 / (β2 + β4), The rate at which the pre-simulation notice is executed when the post-simulation notice is not executed (that is, when the chance eye is not displayed) is β3 / (β1 + β3).

  Here, since α4 and β4 are considerably lower values than α1, α2, α3, β1, β2, and β3, α4 / (α2 + α4) <α3 / (α1 + α3), β4 / (β2 + β4) <β3 The relationship / (β1 + β3) is generated. In other words, regardless of whether or not the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot, if the chance eye is displayed, the proportion of the first pseudo-notice is also executed when the chance eye is not displayed. It is lower than the rate at which the pseudo notice is executed.

  Execution of pseudo-preliminary notice, execution of pre-preliminary notice, or execution of both is determined. Is determined when the variable display is started for each unit from the first temporary stop to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the next temporary stop, and from the temporary stop to the final stop. It has become.

  When it is determined to execute the first pseudo notice (including the case where it is determined to be executed together with the second pseudo notice), the second random number is extracted, and according to the extracted second random number, FIG. ) With reference to the table shown in FIG. The selection probability of the pre-simulation notice mode differs between the first notice of re-variable display, the second or third notice of re-variable display, and the fourth notice of re-variable display. In addition, the display changes depending on whether the subsequent change display is executed or whether the display result is derived and displayed without executing the change display again.

  When it is determined to execute the pre-simulation notice (including the case where it is determined to be executed with the post-simulation notice), the third random number is extracted and the execution timing of the pre-simulation notice is determined. It is supposed to be. Although the table for determining the execution timing of the first preliminary notice is not shown in the drawing, the selection probability of the execution timing of the first preliminary notice for the second to fourth revariable display is the subsequent revariable display executed. Or, it is different depending on whether the display result is derived and displayed without executing re-variable display. For example, the ratio for selecting the late execution timing is higher when the re-variable display is executed after that than when the re-variable display is not executed again, but in either case, the early timing is selected. The ratio is higher than the ratio for selecting a later timing.

  In the first notice of re-variation display (the change pattern of the special symbol is assumed to be pseudo-continuous, there is no pre-prediction notice when re-variation display is not executed), no execution, only the accessory, lamp (decoration Only the lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42) are selected from any one of the accessory + lamp in the ratios a1, a2, a3, and a4. Since it is a notice of the first re-variation display, only the lamp 25a to 25c is used as the decoration lamp 25a to 25c. It is.

  Further, it is only in the case of the first notice of re-variable display that no execution, that is, the restriction of the execution of the first pseudo notice is selected. If no execution is selected as the notice of the first re-variation display in the case of one pseudo-continuation, the pre-simulation notice will not be executed until the final result is derived and displayed. Even if “No execution” is selected as the notice of the first re-variation display in the case of the second to fourth pseudo-continuations, the second to fourth notice of the re-variation display is performed.

  In the notice of the second or third re-change display, only the accessory, lamp only (± 0), lamp only (−1), lamp only (+1), accessory + lamp (± 0), accessory + lamp Any one of (−1) and an accessory + lamp (+1) is selected. Here, “± 0”, “−1”, “+1” on the lamp only, the accessory + lamp is the number of executions of the re-variable display up to that time when it is assumed that the re-variable display is performed after that. Indicates that the actual number of executions is one less than the actual number of executions and one more than the actual number of executions. For example, in the case of the decorative lamps 25a to 25c, when the lamp (± 0) is selected as the notice of the second re-variable display, the decorative lamps 25a and 25b are turned on, but the decorative lamp (+1) is selected. When it is done, the decoration lamps 25a and 25c are turned on.

  In addition, the selection probability of each mode is b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, and then re-displayed when the display result is derived and displayed without subsequent re-variable display. When the variable display is executed, they are c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, and c7, respectively. Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, there is a relationship of b1> c1 (= b1− (b5 + b6 + b7)), b2 = c2, b3 = c3, b4 = c4, b5 <c5, b6 <c6, b7 <c7. . That is, when the pre-simulation notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that is relatively low, whereas the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 When the preliminary simulation is executed by lighting and driving the accessory 26, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that is relatively high.

  Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, b2 / (b2 + b3 + b4)> c2 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b3 / (b2 + b3 + b4) <c3 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b4 / (b2 + b3 + b4) <c4 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b5 There is also a relationship of (b5 + b6 + b7)> c5 / (c5 + c6 + c7), b6 / (b5 + b6 + b7) <c6 / (c5 + c6 + c7), b7 / (b5 + b6 + b7) <c7 / (c5 + c6 + c7). That is, when the number of times different from the actual number of fluctuation displays in the previous preliminary notice is notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42, the probability that the re-change display is executed after that is relatively high. It will be expensive.

  In the notice of the fourth re-change display, any mode of only an accessory, only a lamp (± 0), only a lamp (−1), an accessory + lamp (± 0), or an accessory + lamp (−1) Is selected. In the lamp only (± 0) and the accessory + lamp (± 0), all of the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on, but only the lamp (-1) and the accessory + lamp (-1 ), The decoration lamps 25a and 25c and the frame lamps 40 and 42 are turned on so that the number of times is one less than the actual number. In addition, the selection probability of each mode is d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, respectively, and then the re-variable display is executed when the display result is derived and displayed without performing the re-variable display thereafter. In this case, e1, e2, e3, e4, and e5 respectively.

  Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, there is a relationship of d1> e1 (= d1− (e4 + e5)), d2 = e2, d3 = e3, d4 <e4, d5 <e5. That is, when the pre-simulation notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that is relatively low, whereas the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 When the preliminary simulation is executed by lighting and driving the accessory 26, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that is relatively high.

  Also, d2 / (d2 + d3)> e2 / (e2 + e3), d3 / (d2 + d3) <e3 / (e2 + e3), d4 / (d4 + d5)> e4 / (e4 + e5), d5 / (d4 + d5) <e5 / (e4 + e5). There is also a relationship, and when the number of times different from the actual number of fluctuation displays is notified by the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 in the previous pseudo-notice, the probability that the re-change display is executed after that is relatively Expensive.

  Note that the re-variable display is executed means that the number of pseudo-reams is increased, and the probability that the reach display mode appears, the probability variation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit or the short-term big hit is high. That is. Accordingly, when the pre-simulation notice is executed only by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42, the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame are more effective than when the pre-simulation notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26. When the pre-simulation notice is executed when the lamps 40 to 42 are turned on and the accessory 26 is driven, the re-variable display is displayed more than when the pre-simulation notice is executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42. In addition to the high degree of expectation to be executed, the degree of expectation that the reach display mode will appear, and the degree of expectation that will be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also increase.

  Further, when the pre-simulation notice is executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 (including the case where the pre-simulation notice is executed even when the accessory 26 is driven), the actual re-variation display is performed. When the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on in a mode different from the number of times, the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on in a mode according to the actual number of re-variable displays. In addition to the higher expectation that the re-variable display is executed, the expectation that the reach display mode appears will also increase the expectation that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot.

  If it is determined to execute the post-pseudo advance notice (including the case where it is determined to execute with the pre-pseudo notice), the fourth random number is extracted, and according to the extracted fourth random number, FIG. With reference to the table shown in (c), the post-prediction notice mode (chance eye A, chance eye B) is determined. As for the selection probability of the mode of pseudo-notice, a new re-variation display is executed after the decorative symbol is changed and displayed again, or the display result is derived and displayed without executing the re-change display. It depends on what.

  Here, the selection probability g2 of the chance eye B when the re-change display is further executed is higher than the selection probability f2 of the chance eye B when the display of the re-change display is not further executed. The selection probability g1 of the chance eye A when the re-variable display is further executed is correspondingly lower than the selection probability f1 of the chance eye A when the re-variable display is not executed. That is, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and the chance eye B is displayed, the expectation that the re-variation display is executed is higher than when the chance eye A is displayed.

  Note that the re-variable display is executed means that the number of pseudo-reams is increased, and the probability that the reach display mode appears, the probability variation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit or the short-term big hit is high. That is. In other words, when the chance eye B is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, not only the expectation level at which the re-variable display is executed is increased, but also the expectation level at which the reach display mode appears is also a probability variation jackpot and a probable variation. The degree of expectation for a promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot will also increase.

  In addition, when it is determined that the notice effect (not the pseudo continuous notice) in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice as the notice effect in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment is suddenly a jackpot. It is executed at a predetermined rate before the decorative symbol variation display is stopped. In other words, when the player thinks that the decorative symbol re-variable display is executed by the preliminary simulation, the variable display result is displayed without executing the decorative symbol re-variable display, and the second jackpot is displayed. It is sometimes controlled to a probability variation state through a gaming state (which is often not noticed by the player).

  In the case of a big hit, if the notice effect in the same form as the previous pseudo notice is executed, the mode of the notice effect (same as the notice of the first re-variable display in the previous pseudo notice) and the execution timing selection probability Is different from the ratio for selecting the mode and the execution timing in the case where the first re-variation display is announced in the first preliminary notice (only when re-variation display is executed) (for example, no execution, role The selection probability of only objects, only lamps, and an accessory + lamp is h1, h2, h3, and h4).

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the effect of the pseudo-simultaneous notice, in which (A) is an earlier pseudo-notice, and (B) to (E) are examples of an effect of the later pseudo-notice. Here, an example is given of a case where the re-variation display is performed four times (a total of five variation displays) with respect to the pseudo-symbol four times, that is, one special symbol variation display (that is, one start winning prize). Show. Further, a case is shown as an example where the pre-simulation notice is executed before the first temporary stop and the post-simulation notice is executed at the time of one to four temporary stops.

  FIG. 13A shows that the top frame lamp 40, the left frame lamp 41, and the right frame lamp 42 are lit before the first temporary stop, and the light emitters around the game board 6 provided in the glass door frame 2 Blinks in white to indicate that a pseudo-continuous notice (pre-simulation notice) is being executed. FIG. 13 (B) shows that when there is a first temporary stop, from the bottom of the glass door frame 2 to the height of about 1/4 of the light emitters around the game board 6 provided in the glass door frame 2. From the bottom of the illuminant, the left frame lamp 41 and the right frame lamp 42 to a height of about ¼ blinks in red, and a pseudo continuous notice (post-pseudo notice) is executed, and then the second variable display starts. It has been shown. FIG. 13 (C) shows that when there is a second temporary stop, from the bottom of the glass door frame 2 to about 1/2 the height of the light emitters around the game board 6 provided on the glass door frame 2. From the bottom of the illuminant, the left frame lamp 41 and the right frame lamp 42 to a height of about ½ blinks in red and a pseudo continuous notice (post-pseudo notice) is executed, and then the third variable display starts. It has been shown. FIG. 13 (D) shows that when there is a third temporary stop, from the bottom of the glass door frame 2 to the height of about 3/4 of the light emitters around the game board 6 provided on the glass door frame 2. From the bottom of the illuminant, the left frame lamp 41 and the right frame lamp 42 to a height of about 3/4 flashes in red, and a pseudo continuous notice (post-pseudo notice) is executed, and then the fourth variable display starts. It has been shown. FIG. 13E shows that when there is a fourth temporary stop, the light emitters around the game board 6 provided on the glass door frame 2, the top frame lamp 40, the left frame lamp 41, and the right frame lamp 42 are displayed. It blinks in red, indicating that a pseudo continuous notice (post-pseudo notice) is executed, and then the fifth variation display is started.

  In this way, in four temporary stops in one special symbol variation display, the light emitting area of the light emitter is increased each time the temporary stop is repeated, thereby making it possible to increase the probability variation big hit, probability change promotion big hit or short time big hit for the player. You can increase your expectation.

  It should be noted that the light emission mode of the frame lamps 40 to 42, which is the effect of the pre-simulation notice executed before the temporary stop, is changed to a re-variation mode in which a chance eye appears when the temporary stop is performed (for example, the post-simulation notice and the preliminary simulation). It may be configured to be different between the case of executing both of the advance notices) and the time of a re-variation mode that does not appear (for example, executing only the prior notice). Here, as an example in which the light emission modes of the frame lamps 40 to 42 are different, the number of frame lamps to emit light is different, the color to be emitted is different, the light emission method (lighting and blinking) is different, or There are different time intervals. That is, for example, when a re-variation mode in which a chance eye appears when temporarily stopped, all of the frame lamps 40 to 42 are caused to emit light. When a re-variation mode in which a chance eye does not appear when temporarily stopped, only the frame lamp 40 is displayed. To emit light. Alternatively, red light is emitted when a re-variation mode in which a chance eye appears when temporarily stopped, and white light is emitted when a re-variation state where the chance eye does not appear when temporarily stopped. Alternatively, the light emitter is turned on in a re-variation mode in which a chance eye appears when temporarily stopped, and the light emitter is blinked in a re-change state in which a chance eye does not appear when temporarily stopped. Furthermore, the flashing time of the illuminant is shortened in the re-variation mode in which the chance eyes appear when temporarily stopped, and the flashing time of the illuminant is lengthened in the re-variation mode in which the chance eyes do not appear when temporarily stopped. .

  In this way, the light emitting mode of the illuminant is different between the re-variation mode in which the chance eyes appear when temporarily stopped and the re-variation mode in which the chance eyes do not appear when temporarily stopped. By changing the content of the pre-preliminary notice, when the pre-preliminary notice is executed, the player is made to pay attention to the light emission mode of the frame lamps 40 to 42 before the temporary stop, and the entire process of the series of change display is performed. It is possible to increase the degree of attention of the player in the game and improve the interest of the game. Further, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display is executed according to the difference in the light emission modes of the frame lamps 40 to 42. Thereby, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the reach display mode will appear, and a sense of expectation that the probability variation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the time-short hit big hit.

  Next, the reach notice effect will be described. The reach notice effect is a notice indicating that there is a possibility that a reach display mode may appear in the variation display of decorative symbols. In the variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears, the reach notice effect is performed while the variation display before the reach display mode appears, and in the variation pattern in which the reach display mode does not appear, the reach display mode appears. The reach notice effect is performed while the change display is performed while the possibility remains. In the quasi-continuous variation pattern, a reach notice effect may be performed between each variation display from the temporary start of the decorative symbol to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the temporary stop, and from the temporary stop to the final stop.

  Although the reach notice effect is a notice indicating the possibility that the reach display mode appears, if the reach display mode appears, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot may be reached. If the display mode does not appear, the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot and the hourly jackpot will not be reached. Therefore, it can be said that the reach notice effect is an effect indicating the possibility of a probability variation jackpot, a probable promotion jackpot, or a short time jackpot.

  There are various types of effects in the reach notice effect executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment. Among them, any one of the first to third stages is included. A step-up effect in which the effect changes step by step is included. For step-up effects, only the first stage is executed and finished (step-up effect 1), the first stage and the second stage are executed in sequence (step-up effect 2), and the first stage is finished. There is one (step-up effect 3) that is executed by sequentially executing from the stage to the third stage. Step-up effect 3 is an effect that is executed only when the reach display mode appears in the variable display. In addition, there are production A and production B as reach notice productions other than the step-up production.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a notice effect determination table for determining the notice effect to be executed in each variation display in the pseudo-variation variation pattern. The figure shows the decorative symbols for the Lth (L = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times (K = 1, 2, 3, 4) before the final stop of the decorative symbols. The selection probabilities of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2, and step-up production 3 when the reach display mode appears and when the reach display mode does not appear are shown.

  It should be noted that effect A and effect B are executed while the preceding pseudo-notice is being executed. The step-up effect is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. Even when the step-up effect 3 is selected, the third stage can be executed before the decorative symbol stops (temporarily). (Step-up effect 1 and step-up effect 2 end earlier).

  As can be seen from FIG. 6, the ratio for selecting each of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2 and step-up production 3 as the reach notice production is the Lth fluctuation display of the pseudo-continuous K times. Depending on the difference between K and L, and whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol finally stops.

  The more detailed case will be described. The probability that the re-change display is performed after the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the re-change display is performed when the effect A is executed. A selection probability is defined. For example, when comparing the second variation display of the first pseudo-series and the second variation display of the second pseudo-series, the reach display mode is not satisfied, bb1 / (ba1 + bb1) <db1 / (da1 + db1). Furthermore, the probability that the effect B is selected is higher in the second of the two pseudo-continuations in which the variable display is executed.

  In addition, the selection probability of the reach announcement effect is determined so that the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect A is executed. For example, ba2 / (ba1 + ba2) <bb2 / (bb1 + bb2) in the second variation display of the first pseudo-continuation. As the number of variable displays increases, the probability fluctuation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot or the hourly / temporary jackpot is likely to be reached, and if the reach display mode is not used, the probability fluctuation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot or the hourly / temporary jackpot will not be obtained, so It can be said that the probability that the jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot will be higher than the probability that the stage A is executed and the probability change jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot.

  In addition, the selection probability of the step-up effect 3 is 0 except when the reach display mode appears in the (K + 1) th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times. In addition, the selection probabilities of step-up effects 1 are all 0 in the (K + 1) th variation display of pseudo-continuous regardless of whether or not the reach display mode appears. In other words, the reach display mode does not appear in the variable display in which the step-up effect has ended only in the first stage (however, the reach display mode may appear in the later variable display). Then, after the decorative design temporarily stops, the variable display is executed again.

  Hereinafter, the process performed for the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed according to timer interrupt processing executed every 2 ms. Note that only the release of the game ball to the game area 7 based on the operation of the hitting operation handle 5 is performed independently of the timer interruption process every 2 ms.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed every 2 ms in the main process executed by the CPU 56. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 performs the register saving process (step S21), and then executes the game control process of steps S22 to S36. In the game control process, the CPU 56 first inputs detection signals of switches such as the gate switch 61, the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning port switch 64 and the like via the switch circuit 32, and determines the state thereof. A switch process is performed (step S22).

  Next, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a jackpot determination random number and a jackpot type determination random number used for game control is performed (step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number (step S24) and a process for updating the counter value for generating the display random number (step S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, the corresponding symbol is selected according to the special symbol process flag for controlling the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the variable display device 9, the special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Further, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. By executing the normal symbol process, the display control of the normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the variable winning device 15 are executed.

  Next, the CPU 56 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the special symbol process, and an effect control command for displaying on the variable display device 9 (a command indicating a variation pattern, whether or not to be a big hit, and a big hit type is set. A special symbol command control process for sending the command to the effect control board 80 (step S28). Further, a normal symbol command control process is performed in which an effect control command for an ordinary symbol set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the normal symbol process process is sent (step S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S30).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the start opening switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning prize opening switch 64, and the like (step S31). Specifically, a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls is given to the payout control board 36 in response to winning detection based on any of the start opening switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning opening switch 64, etc. being turned on. Output. The payout control CPU mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of prize balls.

  And CPU56 performs the memory | storage process which checks the increase / decrease in a pending | holding memory | storage number (step S32). In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the gaming machine to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (step S33). Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a drive command is issued to the solenoid circuit 33 (step S34). In order to open the variable prize-winning device 15 and the special variable prize-winning device 20, or to switch the game ball passage in the big prize opening 21, the solenoid circuit 33 is configured with solenoids 71 to 73 in accordance with a drive command. Drive. Thereafter, the contents of the register are restored (step S35), and the interrupt enabled state is set (step S36).

  Next, the special symbol process in step S26 will be described. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 first determines whether or not the start opening switches 62a and 62b for detecting that a game ball has won the start winning opening 14a and 14b provided in the game board 6 are turned on. In other words, it is determined whether or not a start winning that causes the game ball to win the start winning ports 14a and 14b has occurred, and if a start winning has occurred, a start port switch passing process is performed. After that, depending on the state of the special symbol process flag, special symbol normal processing, variation pattern setting processing, special symbol variation processing, special symbol suspension processing, pre-winning opening pre-processing, large winning opening open processing, which will be described below, One of the jackpot end processing is performed.

  Special symbol normal processing: Wait until the special symbol variable display can be started. When the CPU 56 enters a state where variable symbol special display can be started (the special symbol display 10a, 10b has finished executing the special symbol game), the CPU 56 stores numerical data stored in the holding storage buffer. The number (holding stored number) is sequentially checked for the start winnings to the starting winning ports 14a, 14b.

  If the count value of the holding storage counter is not 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14a, the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3A is referred to according to the gaming state, and the jackpot is determined based on the value of the jackpot determination random number. Or not (whether or not to obtain a specific display result). In the case of jackpot, the jackpot type determination table in FIG. 3B is referred to, and the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number.

  If the count value of the hold storage counter is 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14a, but the count value of the hold storage counter is not 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14b, the start winning to the start winning opening 14a As in the case of, whether or not to make a jackpot based on the value of the jackpot determination random number with reference to the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3A according to the gaming state (whether to be a specific display result) To decide. In the case of winning the starting prize to the starting prize opening 14b, the jackpot type determination table in FIG. 3C is referred to, and the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the random number for jackpot type determination.

  Fluctuation pattern setting processing: A plurality of types of variation patterns determined in advance according to the random value for variation pattern determination extracted at the time of starting winning the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol display 10a, 10b for which the big hit lottery has been performed Choose from. Based on the determined variation pattern, the variation time of the special symbol is set in a special symbol process timer (configured by a down timer), and then the special symbol process timer is started. At this time, a signal for instructing the start of variable display of the special symbol is output to any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and a command indicating the selected variation pattern, a command indicating whether or not the jackpot is set, and a command indicating the jackpot type Is set in a state to be transmitted to the effect control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after. It should be noted that if the variation pattern and whether or not the jackpot type is the same and the jackpot type are the same, the command transmitted to the effect control board 80 even if the special symbol variation display is performed on any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b. There is no difference.

  Special symbol variation processing: Monitor the time of the special symbol process timer with the variation time set according to the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting processing, and when the variation time has passed and the special symbol process timer times out, Next, control is performed to shift to the special symbol stop process.

  Special symbol stop process: Stops variable display of a special symbol variably displayed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and outputs a signal indicating the stop of the special symbol to any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. In addition, the command indicating the stop of the symbol is set to a state to be transmitted to the effect control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after that. It should be noted that the command indicating the stop of the symbol is the same regardless of whether the special symbol change display is performed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b.

  Pre-opening process for the big winning opening: When this process is performed for the first time after the big hit, after setting the number of rounds of the big winning opening 21, the control for opening the big winning opening 21 is started. Specifically, the solenoid 72 is driven to open the special winning opening 21 and to open the special variable winning device 20. In addition, the number of rounds in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is counted, and the execution time of the special winning opening opening process is set by the release timer.

  Processing during opening of the big winning opening: a state in which a command for round display during the first jackpot gaming state and the second jackpot gaming state is transmitted to the effect control board 80 in the special symbol command control processing (step S28) immediately after And a process for confirming that the closing condition of the special winning opening 21 is satisfied.

  Jackpot end process: A command indicating that the first jackpot game state or the second jackpot game state has ended is set to a state to be transmitted to the effect control board 80 in the immediately following special symbol command control process (step S28).

  On the other hand, in the various sub-side boards such as the effect control board 80, the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbols and decorative symbols in accordance with the variation display of the special symbols based on the command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31. Are displayed in a variable manner, or a process for executing a jackpot round effect is performed when the game is controlled to the first jackpot game state. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a main process executed by the display control CPU of the effect control board 80.

  In this main process, first, an initialization process for initializing a necessary area in the RAM included in the display control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board 80 is performed (step S701). Next, it is determined whether or not the state of the timer interrupt flag set by timer interrupt processing executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) is 1 (step S702). The process of step S702 is repeated until it becomes.

  After the timer interrupt flag status is 1, first, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to 0 (step S703), and it is checked whether a command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 is received, If a command has been received, command analysis processing for analyzing the content is executed (step S704).

  Next, based on the analysis result of the command in the command analysis process, an effect control process process is executed in which the decorative display is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 or a jackpot round effect is executed (step S705). In the effect control process, a process for executing a pseudo-continuous notice and a notice effect is also performed. For example, the pseudo-announcement is determined at the timing when the (re) variable display of the decorative symbol starts with the pseudo-variable variation pattern, and according to the determination, the period before the decorative symbol stops or when the decorative symbol stops This is a pseudo-annual notice.

  Further, a random number update process for updating random numbers such as a random number for notice type determination, a random number for notice mode determination, a random number for round effect type determination, a random number for effect pattern determination, and the like is executed (step S706), and the process returns to step S702. .

  Next, a description will be given of an execution example of the pre-simulation notice in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment. FIG. 9 is a timing chart showing an example of execution of the preliminary simulation notice. Here, an example is shown in which two pseudo-continuations (a total of three fluctuation displays are executed with two temporary stops in between) are selected. In addition, the earlier pseudo-notice with the earlier execution timing starts at the same time as the decorative pattern change display starts, and the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing starts after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the decorative pattern change display. Shall be started.

  In FIG. 9A, as a comparative example, a case is shown in which fluctuation display without loss, no reach, and no quasi-continuation is executed three times in succession based on the hold storage (in order to simplify the explanation, each time The time for the variable display is the same as the time for the variable display from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop from the first change to the first temporary stop, which is executed in two pseudo-continuations). FIG. 9B shows an example in which the pre-simulation notice is executed at an early timing in the second variation display. FIG. 9C shows an example in which the preliminary simulation notice is executed at a later timing in the second variation display. In the examples of FIGS. 9B and 9C, it is determined to execute the pre-simulation notice as the pseudo continuous notice when the decorative symbol variation display is first started.

  First, in the example of FIG. 9A, the decorative symbol variation display in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuations based on the first start winning is started at the timing t1. Here, the execution of the pre-simulation notice is not determined, and the pre-simulation notice is not executed. If the execution timing is determined to be the earlier simulation notice, the earlier simulation notice is not executed even at the timing t2 at which the earlier simulation notice is executed.

  After the display of variation of the decorative pattern based on the first start winning is stopped at timing t3, the decorative pattern in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuous based on the second starting winning is stored at the timing t4 after a certain period of time has elapsed since then. Fluctuation display is started. Again, the execution of the pre-simulation notice is not determined, and the pre-simulation notice is not executed. If the execution timing is determined to be the earlier simulation notice, the earlier simulation notice is not executed even at the timing t5 when the earlier simulation notice is executed.

  After the display of variation of the decorative pattern based on the second start winning is stopped at timing t6, the decorative pattern in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuous based on the third starting winning is stored at the timing t7 after a certain period of time has elapsed since then. Fluctuation display is started. Again, the execution of the pre-simulation notice is not determined, and the pre-simulation notice is not executed. If the execution timing is determined to be the earlier simulation notice, the earlier simulation notice is not executed even at the timing t8 when the earlier simulation notice is executed.

  In this way, when the variable display without pseudo-continuous is executed one after another based on the pending storage (a large number of such cases occur from the jackpot probability and the selection probability of the variation pattern type), No pseudo notice is executed. Stopping the decorative display of decorative symbols is not a temporary stop, so there is no chance of being displayed there. Therefore, there is no scene in which the player can expect the re-variable display of the pseudo-continuation to continue.

  In the example of FIG. 9B, the decorative symbol variation display in the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous two times is started at the timing t1. Here, when it is determined to execute the pre-simulation notice, the mode of the pre-simulation notice is further determined by the change display until the first temporary stop. Since it is a display, there is a case where no execution is determined as the pre-simulation notice mode. In this case, the preliminary simulation notice is not executed at timing t1, and the preliminary simulation notice is not executed even at timing t2. For the player, it is not known whether the variation display of the decorative symbol is executed with the variation pattern having a high frequency of appearance, and it is expected that the re-variable display is executed at timing t3 until the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It will not be possible.

  At the timing t3, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time. However, since it is not determined to execute the post-simulation notice, the chance is not displayed as the decorative symbol display mode at the temporary stop. Thereafter, at timing t4, the variable display (the second variable display) is started after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time out of the two pseudo-continuations. Here, the pre-simulation notice and execution timing at the time of the second variation display are determined, but the pre-simulation notice is executed at timing t4 by determining that the execution timing is earlier. By the preliminary simulation at the timing t4, the player can increase the expectation that the variable display will be executed again after the second temporary stop (and that the reach display mode will appear and the jackpot will appear). . Further, since the pre-simulation notice mode is selected with the selection ratio in the case where there is a re-variable display, the sense of expectation is often enhanced by the pre-simulation notice mode.

  At the timing t6, the decorative symbol makes a second temporary stop, but no chance is displayed here either. After that, at timing t7, the variable display (third variable display) is started after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the second time in the two pseudo-continuations. Here, the pre-simulation notice and execution timing at the time of the third variable display are determined, but the pre-simulation notice is executed at timing t7 by determining that the execution timing is earlier. However, since the pre-simulation notice mode is selected at the selection ratio in the case where the re-variation display is not performed, the degree to which the expectation is enhanced by the pre-simulation notice mode is determined by the prior simulation notice at the time of the second variation display. Not so good.

  In the example of FIG. 9C, it is assumed that the decorative symbol variation display is executed until the timing t3 as in the example of FIG. 9B. Thereafter, at timing t4, the variable display (the second variable display) is started after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time out of the two pseudo-continuations. Here, the mode and execution timing of the pre-simulation notice at the time of the second variation display are determined, but the pre-simulation notice is not executed at the timing t4 by determining that the execution timing is late. The pre-simulation notice is executed at timing t5 later.

  Since the pre-simulation notice is not executed at timing t4, the player cannot expect much from the fact that the re-variable display is executed at this time. However, if the pre-scheduled advance notice is executed with a delay at timing t5, the player will execute the variable display again after the second temporary stop (and the reach display mode will appear and the player will win a big hit). ). In addition, since the possibility of re-variation display is higher in the case of the earlier pseudo-notice at a later timing, a greater sense of expectation is given to the player from the place where the expectation was less. At the timing t6, the decorative symbol makes a second temporary stop, but no chance is displayed here either. Thereafter, after the timing t7, for example, as in the case of FIG. 9B, the third variation display in the second pseudo-continuation is performed.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the big winning lottery and the big hitting type lottery are performed by winning at the start winning ports 14a and 14b, and the special symbols are variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. The result of the lottery is notified to the player by deriving and displaying the display result. In addition, the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbol in a variable manner in accordance with the variable symbol display, and the player is notified of the lottery result based on the display result.

  Here, in the variation pattern of the special symbol and the decorative symbol (especially, the decorative symbol), the variation pattern of the special symbol for one time (that is, one start prize) is displayed in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. A pseudo-variation variation pattern is included in which after the decorative symbol variation display is temporarily stopped, a re-variable display is performed once or a plurality of times to revariably display all the ornament symbols. There are two types of pseudo-series according to the number of re-variable displays: one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series, and four pseudo-series.

  The pseudo-ream can be selected as the type of variation pattern when the result of the variation display of special symbols and decorative designs is lost, or when the probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot is hit, As the number of times of display increases, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is easily selected. Further, the pseudo pattern 4 is selected as the variation pattern type only when the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot.

  In addition, when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot is reached, the reach display mode always appears as the premise, so the reach display mode appears as the number of times of re-variable display in the quasi-ream is large Sometimes it is easy to choose. As the number of pseudo-reams increases, it is easier to select when the probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot hits, so the player's expectation will increase as the number of re-change display executed increases. Become.

  In particular, the fourth pseudo-continuation is selected only when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot. In other words, if the fourth re-change display (fifth change display) is performed, it can be clearly determined that the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot will be determined at that time. As the number of re-variable displays increases, the closer to the fourth re-variable display, the higher the expectation that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot will be increased. As a result, the player's attention level in the whole process of a series of change display is further increased, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  By the way, when the pseudo pattern 1 is selected as the variation pattern type, the pseudo sequence 2 times, the pseudo sequence 3 times, or the pseudo sequence 4 times is selected, all of the decorative symbols in the variation pattern are temporarily stopped. There is a case where a pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that a re-variable display for displaying a decorative symbol again is performed. By executing the pseudo-sequential notice, the player can expect to see a re-variable display in the process of the decorative display of the decorative symbols, and can also expect that a re-variable display will be performed. The appearance of the display mode can also be expected to be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-time jackpot.

  Further, in the pseudo-continuous notice, the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on or the accessory 26 is driven while the decorative pattern is temporarily displayed in the pseudo-continuous pattern. By displaying the pre-prediction notice to be executed and the chance pattern when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped with the fluctuating pattern of the pseudo-ream, after all the temporarily stopped symbols are changed and displayed again, the decoration is further displayed. There is a pseudo-preliminary notice for notifying that a re-variable display including a temporary stop of the symbol and a variable display is executed.

  When starting the first variation display of a decorative symbol for a quasi-continuous notice to be executed when a quasi-continuous 1, quasi-continuous 2, quasi-continuous 3 or quasi-continuous 4 is selected as the type of variation pattern In this case, it is determined whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, execute the post-simulated notice, or execute both the pre-simulated notice and the post-simulated notice. Here, the probability of selecting whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pseudo-predictive notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, or execute both is determined as one of probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-term jackpot Depending on whether or not.

  For this reason, a prior pseudo-notice is performed before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, a post-preliminary prior is performed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (an opportunity is displayed), or Depending on whether both post-pseudo advance notices are performed, or whether the pre-pseudo notice or post-pseudo advance notices are performed, it is possible to expect a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot, From this, it can be expected that the reach display mode appears and the re-variable display is executed.

  In addition, before the decorative symbol temporarily stops, it is notified in advance that the re-variable display is performed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, or it is notified that the re-variable display is performed in both. In addition, the player's interest will be directed to whether or not the re-variable display will be announced in any of them, and the player's attention will be raised throughout the process of a series of decorative symbols Can improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, in the determination of whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, or execute both the pre-simulated notice and the post-simulated notice, at least execute the pseudo-predictive notice (follow-up pseudo-notice) And the execution of both the pre-preliminary notice and the post-pseudo notice) will depend on whether probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot has been decided. Yes. In other words, the ratio of the probability that a chance hit is not displayed for a probability that a chance is not displayed and a big hit is not displayed at the time of a temporary stop, and the chance eye for the probability that a chance is not reached even if a chance is displayed at the time of a temporary stop is displayed. It is different from the ratio of the probability of being a big hit.

  As a result, paying attention to the post-fake notice, the player will be notified of the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the short-term jackpot depending on whether or not the chance eye is derived and displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It can be expected and can improve the interest of the game. In addition, letting the player expect a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot will cause a reach display mode to appear and a re-variable display to be executed.

  Also, just because the chance is not displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped does not necessarily mean that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot does not occur, but when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, Just because it is displayed does not necessarily mean that the probability change jackpot, variable promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot. This gives a certain sense of expectation to the player by displaying a chance when the decorative design is temporarily stopped, but does not diminish the player's attention to the entire process of a series of variation display. , You can improve the fun of the game.

  In addition, there are two types of chance eyes A and chance eyes B that can be stopped when the post-pseudo advance notice is executed, and the selection ratio of which to stop is determined again after the next temporary stop. It differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can be made to pay attention not only to whether or not the chance eye is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, but also to the type of the chance eye to be displayed. In addition, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation that a re-variable display will be executed according to the type of chance item displayed when the vehicle is temporarily stopped, thereby expecting that a reach display mode will appear. The player can also have a sense of expectation for a sense of change, a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  In addition, in the determination of whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, or execute both the pre-simulated notice and the post-simulated notice, at least the pre-simulated notice is executed (the pre-simulated notice) And the execution of both the pre-preliminary notice and the post-preliminary notice) will also differ depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is decided. Yes. This makes it possible for a player to expect a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot depending on whether or not a preliminary simulation notice is executed before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. , You can improve the fun of the game. In addition, letting the player expect a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot will cause a reach display mode to appear and a re-variable display to be executed.

  In addition, the preliminary simulation is performed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 and driving the accessory 26, and the execution mode thereof is the variable display executed in the pseudo series. Are selected from a plurality of types. The selection ratio of the pre-simulation notice mode differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again. For this reason, when a preliminary | simulation advance notice is performed, a player can be made to pay attention also to the aspect. In addition, according to the difference in the mode of the preliminary simulation that has been executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will be performed, and thereby the expectation that the reach display mode will appear, It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be given.

  Further, the pre-simulation notice mode includes a mode in which only the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on, a mode in which only the accessory 26 is driven, and a type of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42. A mode of combining lighting and driving of the accessory 26 is included. The fact that the selection ratio of the pre-preliminary notice mode is different depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again means that the rendering means (decorative lamps 25a-25c and frame lamps 40- 42, the ratio of selecting the accessory 26) is also different depending on whether or not the re-variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can expect the re-variation display to be executed according to the difference in the rendering means in which the preliminary simulation is executed, and can expect the re-variation display to be executed. It can be expected that a reach display mode will appear and that a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be expected.

  Further, among the modes of the preliminary simulation notice, at least the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 are turned on, re-variation depending on the types of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 to be lit. The number of displays is notified to the player. Of course, there is an aspect in which the number of re-variable displays notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 is different from the actual number of times, but an aspect that is different from the actual number of times. The selection ratio varies depending on whether or not the re-variable display is performed. For this reason, the player may execute the re-variable display according to whether or not the number of re-variable displays notified by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the frame lamps 40 to 42 is the same as the actual number of times. It can be expected that a re-change display will be executed, and it can be expected that a reach display mode will appear, a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot become.

  In addition, the pre-simulation notice mode is selected from a plurality of types for each variation display executed in the pseudo-series, but from the variation start of the decorative design to the first temporary stop. In the variable display, there is a case where no execution is selected as a mode of the prior simulation notice. However, even if the pre-prediction notice is not performed in the variation display until the first temporary stop, if the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner in the variation pattern included in the pseudo-ream type, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. A re-variable display is performed in which the variable display is performed again later. In this case, if execution of only the post-simulation notice is selected, no chance item is displayed at the time of temporary stop.

  For this reason, without changing the pre-fake notice (and without executing the post-pseudo notice), the decorative pattern will be displayed again for the player who thought it was not a fluctuating pattern. It can give unexpectedness and improve the fun of the game. In addition, since the preliminary simulation prior to the first temporary stop may not be executed, even if the selected variation pattern has no pseudo-ream, it is still replayed until the result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is finalized. It is possible to make the player expect that the variable display is performed, and to improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, regardless of whether the selected variation pattern type is no pseudo-ream or pseudo-ream, the first variation of the decorative pattern is resumed when the (temporary) stop is displayed for the first time after the decorative symbol variation display is started. The player's interest is directed to whether or not the display is made, and the player's attention is increased throughout the series of variable display processes, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the pre-simulation notice has an earlier execution timing (for example, one that starts immediately after the decorative symbol variation display (or the start of variation display after temporary stop) starts) and the execution timing. Some of them are slow (for example, one that starts after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the decorative symbol display). For this reason, the range of the period in which the player pays attention to whether or not the preliminary notice is executed is widened, the player's attention is increased throughout the series of variable display processes, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  Here, the selection ratio of the execution timing of the first preliminary notice differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the timing at which the pre-simulation notice is started. In addition, the player can be given an expectation that the re-variable display will be executed according to the difference in the execution timing of the prior pseudo-notice. The expectation that a jackpot, a promising promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be able to hit the player.

  In addition, the selection ratio of the earlier pseudo-notice with a later execution timing is lower than the selection ratio of the earlier pseudo-notice with an earlier execution timing. As a result, if the preliminary simulation is not performed at an early timing, it is possible to give a surprise to a player who cannot expect to continue the re-variation display in the pseudo-series. In addition, the ratio at which the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing is selected is somewhat higher when the re-variable display continues. For this reason, it is possible to give a player who has once lost his sense of expectation to a greater expectation than when the preliminary announcement was made at an early timing, and to improve the interest of the game by the difference in the expectation it can.

  In addition, when winning the jackpot lottery based on winning to the start winning opening 14a, 14b, a jackpot type lottery that determines the type of the jackpot is performed, the jackpot type that can be determined here is a probability variation jackpot, In addition to the probabilistic promotion jackpot and hourly jackpot, there is a promising jackpot. Sudden big hit is a gaming state in which the game is shifted to the probability variation state by opening the big winning opening 21 slightly so that the player may not notice it, but sudden probability variation 1 and sudden probability variation 2 that can be selected at this time. The change pattern is the same as the change pattern of the normal change 1 and the normal change 2 that can be selected when there is no reach, no reach, and no pseudo-ream, considering only the decorative pattern change display.

  In this way, when the ornamental design is displayed in a variation pattern of sudden probability variation 1 or sudden probability variation 2 when the result of the big hit type lottery results in a sudden big success, a notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice is executed. Sometimes. In the case of a notice effect in the same manner as the prior simulation notice, the player usually considers this as a prior notice, and expects that the variable display will be displayed again after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It will be. However, this notice effect is not the pre-simulation notice, just the same mode as the pre-simulation notice, but the decorative symbol is stopped as it is and is shifted to the probability variation state. In this way, it is possible to give the player the unexpectedness that it is controlled to the probability variation state without the re-variation display while allowing the player to expect the re-variation display in the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notification, The interest of the game can be improved.

  The jackpot lottery is performed based on the winnings of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, but the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is not changed in any case. On the other hand, the selection ratio of the jackpot type in the jackpot type lottery when winning the jackpot lottery is such that the winning symbol at the start winning port 14a, that is, the special symbol display on the special symbol display 10a, or the winning symbol at the starting winning port 14b, It differs depending on whether the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display 10b. In particular, the probability of selecting a surprise jackpot as the type of jackpot is 1/10 when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a, whereas the special symbol display on the special symbol display 10b is displayed. Is 2/10.

  That is, the ratio of the loss that can select the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream and the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot or the hourly jackpot (simply “big jackpot” in this paragraph) is displayed on the special symbol display 10a. The case differs from the case where the special symbol display 10b displays the variation of the special symbol. As a result, even when the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner with the same number of pseudo-reams, the probability of winning the jackpot is that the special symbol is changed on the special symbol display 10a and the special symbol on the special symbol display 10b. It differs from the case where it is displayed.

  For this reason, not only the decorative symbol variation display executed in the variable display device 9, but also the special symbol variation display is performed by any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, that is, which of the start winning openings 14a and 14b. The player's interest can be gathered up to whether or not the variable display is performed based on the winning of the game, and the interest of the game can be further improved. In addition, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the start winning ports 14a and 14b the game ball has won and which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  In addition, depending on the results of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type lottery, the variation pattern of the special symbol and the decorative design will be selected, but when the variation pattern is selected when the result of the jackpot lottery is lost, The first type is determined as no reach / with reach, and the second type is determined as no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, or three pseudo-reams. In addition, the type of detailed variation pattern is determined. On the other hand, the reach display mode always appears in the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the short-term jackpot, and the reach display mode does not always appear in the sudden jackpot, so there is no pseudo-run, one pseudo-run, two pseudo-runs, pseudo A detailed variation pattern type is determined after determining three consecutive times or four pseudo-sequences.

  In this way, if it is a loss, a variation pattern is determined through a process of determining whether there is no reach as a first type and then determining a type such as no pseudo-continuity, and if it is a big hit, determining a type such as no pseudo-continuation as it is. By selecting, it is possible to easily distribute the probability of winning a jackpot among each variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears during development. In addition, since this distribution can be easily performed, it is possible to easily adjust the expectation level at which the reach display mode appears for each number of pseudo-reams, and the expectation level that becomes the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the short-term jackpot. become able to.

  Furthermore, the second type that is selected when “no reach” is selected as the first type in the case of losing includes not only the pseudo-ream but also 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, and 3 pseudo-reams. . The maximum value as the number of pseudo-reams is 4 times. Even if it is a pseudo-ream, a pseudo-ream advance notice may not be performed. For this reason, even if all the decorative symbols stop (including temporary stop) without the reach display mode appearing, it can be expected that further variable display will be performed until the result is confirmed. It becomes like this.

  In addition, in the notice effect that is executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, in addition to the pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that the re-variable display of the decorative symbol is performed, until the decorative symbol variable display is completed. There is a reach notice effect for notifying that a reach display mode will appear. In the quasi-continuous variation pattern, the production A and the production B among the reach announcement effects are in a period in which the prior simulation notice is executed for each change display (in practice, the prior simulation notice may not be executed). To be executed.

  Here, there are types of reach notice effects, such as effect A, effect B, step-up effect 1, step-up effect 2, and step-up effect 3, but when the decorative symbols are changed and displayed in a pseudo-continuous manner. The selection ratio of the reach notice effect is not only different according to the difference between K and L in the L-th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times, but whether or not the reach display mode appears until the final stop of the decorative symbol Depending on. For this reason, the player can expect whether or not a reach display mode will appear according to the type of effect executed as the reach notice effect while the preliminary simulation is being performed. Can be improved. Further, depending on the type of the effect executed as the reach notice effect, the player can expect whether the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot, or whether the re-change display is performed.

  Further, the step-up notice effect included in the reach notice effect has a higher expectation level (expected degree of probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot, or short-term jackpot) that the reach display mode appears as the stage of execution increases. Although it is an effect, in the fluctuating display from the last temporary stop to the final stop in the quasi-ream, the display ends only by the execution of the first stage regardless of whether the reach display mode appears here or not. The step-up effect 1 is not executed.

  In other words, if the step-up effect has been executed only for the first stage and ended, the re-variable display in the pseudo-continuous may be executed, although the degree of expectation that the reach display mode will appear is small. It is to be confirmed. As a result, even in the step-up effect up to the first stage where the expectation level of the reach display mode appears is small, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will be executed, and the fun of the game will be further improved Can be achieved.

  In addition, the reach display mode may appear in the final variation display in any type of no pseudo-continuous, one pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, three pseudo-continuous, and four pseudo-continuous. The distribution ratios of the variation patterns having different reach display modes are different for each type. There are also fluctuation patterns that can be distributed only by a specific number of pseudo-reams, such as full rotation. As described above, by distributing the number of pseudo-reams and changing the variation pattern that causes the reach display mode to appear, various effects can be produced by the decorative display of the decorative symbols, and the fun of the game can be improved. Furthermore, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation according to the number of re-variable display executed until the reach display mode appears and the type of reach display mode that has appeared, thereby improving the interest of the game Can do.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, the player's operation on the operation means such as the chance button 16 and the pseudo-continuous notice are irrelevant. However, the pseudo-continuous notice is executed according to the player's operation on the operating means. May be.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the effect of pseudo-continuous notice. FIG. 14A shows that an image that prompts the player to operate the chance button 16 is displayed on the variable display device 9 in which the decorative symbol variation display is started. In FIG. 14B, when the player subsequently depresses the chance button 16, a “continuous?” Character is displayed on the variable display device 9 whose decoration symbol is changing, and a pseudo-continuous notice (pre-simulation notice) is executed. It has been shown. It should be noted that the character displayed on the variable display device 9 after the chance button 16 is pressed is determined as the number of quasi-reams in one start prize, probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or time bonus jackpot. It may be configured to be selectively displayed depending on whether or not it is. Further, if the chance button 16 is not pressed even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the image prompting the user to press the chance button 16 is displayed on the variable display device 9, the decoration is displayed without displaying the aforementioned “continuous?” Character. It may be configured to change again after temporarily stopping the symbol. As an example of the operation means provided in the game frame, in addition to the chance button 16, a stick means (not shown) may be used. The stick means means, for example, an operating rod that is suspended from the bottom surface of the hitting ball supply tray 3 so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction with respect to the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the tilt direction of the operating rod. It comprises a sensor that detects and generates a direction signal and transmits it to the effect control board 80. By configuring the effect control board 80 so that the effect content based on the direction signal generated when the stick means is operated, the effect content according to the tilting direction of the operating rod can be executed.

  In this way, by executing the pseudo-continuous notice in accordance with the player's operation on the operation means provided in the game frame, the player is given an impression as if the pseudo-ream has been generated by the player's own operation. be able to. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  It should be noted that the operation mode for the operation means, which is the content of the pre-preliminary notice executed before the temporary stop, is a re-variation mode in which a chance eye appears when the temporary stop is performed (for example, both the post-preliminary notice and the pre-preliminary notice ) And a re-variation mode that does not appear (for example, only the prior pseudo notice is executed) may be configured differently. That is, for example, in the case of a re-variation mode in which chance chances appear when temporarily stopped, the preliminary display is executed by temporarily displaying an image prompting repeated hitting of the chance button 16 on the variable display device 9 and temporarily stopped. In the re-variation mode in which no chance eyes appear, an image that prompts the user to press the chance button 16 once is displayed on the variable display device 9 or the like, and the first pseudo notice is executed.

  In this way, by changing the production contents of the pre-simulation notice according to the re-variation mode, when the pre-simulation notice is executed, the player is focused on the operation mode for the operation means before the temporary stop, It is possible to increase the player's attention level in the whole process of a series of change display, and to improve the interest of the game. Further, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display is executed according to the difference in the operation mode with respect to the operation means. Thereby, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the reach display mode will appear, and a sense of expectation that the probability variation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the time-short hit big hit.

  In the above embodiment, as the pseudo continuous notice to be executed, there is no pseudo continuous notice, the first pseudo notice is executed, the second pseudo notice is executed, or the selection probability of both the first pseudo notice and the second pseudo notice is selected as a probability variation jackpot. Depending on whether or not either the probable promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot has been determined. However, these selection probabilities may be different depending on whether or not a reach display mode appears. It may be different depending on the number of pseudo-reams (for example, the smaller the number of pseudo-reams, the higher the probability of selection without pseudo-sequential notice), and the higher the number of pseudo-reams, Increase the probability of both selections).

  As described above, when the reach display mode does not appear, there is no possibility that the probability change jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot, but when the reach display mode appears, the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the short-time jackpot It can be a big hit. Therefore, depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears, if there is no pseudo-continuous notice, the preceding pseudo-notice is executed, the post-pseudo notice is executed, or the selection probabilities of both the pre-prediction notice and the post-pseudo notice are different, As a result, depending on whether the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot has been determined, the pre-pseudo notice is executed, the post-pseudo notice is executed, or the selection probability of both the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice is different It becomes.

  In addition, as the number of pseudo-reams increases, the probability that the reach display mode appears is more likely to be a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. Therefore, if there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execution of pre-pseudo notice, execution of post-pseudo notice, or different selection probabilities for both the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice, depending on the number of pseudo-reams, the probabilistic promotion will result. Reach display mode depending on whether big hit or short-term big hit is determined, pre-preliminary notice, post-pseudo notice, or selection probability of both pre-prediction notice and post-false notice will be different Depending on whether or not appears, the preceding pseudo-notice is executed, the subsequent pseudo-notice is executed, or the selection probabilities of both the preceding pseudo-notice and the subsequent pseudo-notice are different.

  Therefore, depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears, or depending on the number of pseudo-reams, there is no pseudo-sequential notice, the pre-pseudo notice is executed, the post-pseudo notice is executed, or the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice are displayed. Even when both the selection probabilities are made different, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the early pseudo-notification has an early execution timing and a late execution timing, but the ratio of selecting the early timing is higher. On the other hand, the ratio for selecting the later timing than the earlier timing may be higher. The ratio of selecting the earlier timing can be increased when the re-variable display is executed after that, compared with the case where the variable display is not executed again. In this case, since the preliminary simulation notice is executed in the first run while the player thinks that the preliminary simulation is not yet performed, the player can be surprised.

  In the above embodiment, when it is determined to execute the pre-simulation notice, the pre-simulation notice mode is determined for each variation display included in the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous. Is different depending on how many times the re-variable display is announced, and also differs depending on whether or not the re-variable display is executed after that. Of course, whether the probability change selection jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is decided, instead of making the selection probability of the prior pseudo-notification mode different depending on whether or not the re-change display is executed afterwards. Depending on whether or not, the selection probability of the pre-prediction mode may be different. Further, the selection probability of the pre-prediction notice mode may be different depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol variation display is finally stopped.

  As described above, when the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined, it is easier to select a type with a large number of pseudo-reams. The possibility that the variable display is executed is increased. Therefore, if the probability of selection of the prior pseudo-notice differs depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot is determined, as a result, a re-variable display is displayed after the prior pseudo-notice. Depending on whether or not the re-variable display is performed after the is performed, the selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notice is different.

  In addition, when the reach display mode appears, it becomes easier to select a type having a large number of pseudo-reams, so that it is more likely that the re-variable display is executed after the preliminary simulation notice is given, and the reach display mode The probability variation jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot will only be reached when the appears. Therefore, if the selection probability of the pre-simulation notice mode is different depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears, as a result, whether or not the re-variable display is performed after the re-variation display is performed after the pre-simulation notice Depending on whether or not the selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notice is different, the selection probability of the prior pseudo-notice will be different depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined. .

  For this reason, the selection probability of the pre-prediction notice mode differs depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined, or the reach display mode appears. Even in this case, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

  Similarly, the selection probability of the execution timing of the prior pseudo-notice may be different depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot has been determined, or the decorative symbol variation display. Depending on whether or not a reach display mode appears before the event is finally stopped. Also here, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  Furthermore, when it is decided to execute the post-pseudo advance notice, the type of chance eye to be displayed is determined for each variation display included in the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous. The probability is different depending on whether or not the re-variable display is further executed after the decorative symbol is displayed again and again. However, the probability of selecting a chance is not different depending on whether or not a re-variable display is executed after that, but whether or not one of probability variation jackpots, probable change jackpots or short-term jackpots has been determined. Accordingly, the selection probability of chances may be different. Further, the selection probability of the chance eye may be made different depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol variation display is finally stopped. Also here, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the post-simulation notice is executed by setting the display mode when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped as a chance. However, the post-pseudo-preliminary notice only needs to be executed in a period in which the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the pseudo-ream, and does not necessarily have to be executed by taking the appearance of the decorative symbol as a chance. . For example, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, the pseudo-preliminary notice may be executed by causing the variable display device 9 to display a predetermined character image superimposed on the front side of the decorative symbol image. it can.

  As there were multiple types of chance eyes, there may be multiple types of images of this character, whether re-change display is executed, reach display mode appears, probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, Alternatively, it is possible to select the type of character image to be displayed as a post-pseudo notice in a different selection ratio depending on whether it is decided to win the time. Thereby, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation according to the type of character image displayed in the post-simulation notice.

  In addition, with regard to the post-pseudo advance notice executed in a manner different from the appearance of the decorative design in this way, at least a part of the execution period is included in the period in which the decorative design is temporarily stopped, and the execution timing is early (For example, the character image starts to be displayed at the same time or immediately before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped) and slow (for example, the character image is displayed after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and then displayed again. Display start) can be prepared.

  As for the selection probability of the execution timing of the pseudo-preliminary notice with early timing and late timing as described above, whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined, as in the case of the preceding pseudo-notice. Depending on whether the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol display is finally stopped, or depending on whether or not the re-display is performed. Can be different. In this case as well, the same effect as that caused by the difference in the execution timing of the preceding pseudo-notice can be produced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice is executed in the case of a sudden big hit. On the other hand, the chance eye A or chance eye B that is derived and displayed at the time of temporary stop of the decorative symbol may be derived and displayed as a post-preliminary notice as a stop mode of the decorative symbol in the case of a big hit. The selection ratio between the chance item A and the chance item B in the case of the big hit may be different from the selection ratio when the chance item A and the chance item B are selected in the post pseudo-notice. The notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice and the derivation display of the chance eye may be used in combination. As described above, the chance effect is derived and displayed as the stop mode in the case of the sudden hit, and the same effect as that in the case of executing the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice in the case of the sudden hit is obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the chance eye A and the chance eye B are the appearances that appear only when the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped when the variation pattern of 1 to 4 pseudo-continuations is selected. . Of course, even when the decorative design is stopped with a variation pattern without pseudo-continuations, chance eyes A and chance eyes B may appear very rarely. Even when the decorative pattern is finally stopped with the fluctuation pattern of the pseudo-ream 1 to 3, the chance eye A and the chance eye B may appear very rarely. The chance eyes that can appear even in the final stop may be only one of the chance eyes A and the chance eyes B.

  Note that, for example, it is assumed that the chance eye A or the chance eye B can appear even when the decorative symbol is stopped with a variation pattern without a pseudo-ream (the decorative symbol is displayed with a variation pattern of 1 to 3 pseudo-reams). The appearance of the chance eye A or the chance eye B when it is finally stopped is not considered). In this case, the product of the selection probability of the variation pattern without pseudo-ream and the selection probability of the chance item A or the chance item B is the selection probability of the first to fourth pseudo-reams and the subsequent pseudo-notice (used in combination with the previous pseudo-notice). It is preferable that the value be smaller than about one-tenth of the product of the execution probability and the execution probability.

  In this way, even when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 1 to 4 times, it is possible to make the player feel an unexpectedness by rarely appearing the chance eye. In addition, by this, even when a chance appears in the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 1 to 4, it does not mean execution of absolute re-variation display, so re-variation display is performed. The player's interest in whether or not

  In the above-described embodiment, the pseudo-sequential notice is the same as that of the main board 31, which is executed by the rendering means different from the variable display device 9 such as the decoration lamps 25 a to 25 c, the frame lamps 40 to 42, and the accessory 26. In the variation display of the decorative symbol whose variation pattern is determined, the pseudo-prediction that is executed by deriving and displaying the chance eye when the decorative symbol temporarily stops is also displayed on the side of the effect control board 80 Was to be determined in

  On the other hand, the post pseudo-notice for displaying the chance eye as the display mode at the time of temporary stop of the decorative design may be determined on the main board 31 side. Here, a pattern and a chance eye are displayed in the variation pattern included in the type of the pseudo train once, the pseudo train twice, the pseudo train 3 times, or the pseudo train 4 times, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. (For example, the fluctuation pattern included in the type of one pseudo-ream per big probability fluctuation is per normal (no chance), per normal (chance), per super A (no chance) It is also possible to determine whether to perform the pseudo-preliminary notice by selecting the variation pattern per super A (chance), per super B (no chance), per super B (chance).

  Here, there is no chance for the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the display result of the decorative pattern is lost (lost or sudden big hit) without displaying the chance chance, and the big hit (probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot or short-term jackpot) The ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern that is a) is different from the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern that is a big hit when the chance item is displayed and the selection probability of the variation pattern that is lost Can do.

  Alternatively, the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the chance display is not displayed but the chance display is displayed but the chance display is not displayed, but the reach display is displayed, but the chance display is performed It may be different from the ratio of the selection probabilities of the variation pattern in which the reach probability is displayed with respect to the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the mode does not appear and the reach display mode appears.

  Further, the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed M times and the chance eye is displayed to the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed only M times and the chance eye is not displayed is N What is the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed N times and the chance eyes are displayed to the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed only times (N> M) and the chance eyes are not displayed? Can be different.

  In this way, even if it is determined by selecting the fluctuation pattern whether or not the chance eye is displayed as a post-pseudo advance notice, the type of the fluctuation pattern is one pseudo series, two pseudo series, three pseudo series, or pseudo By making the selection probability of each variation pattern as described above when the type of the four consecutive times is selected, the same effect as in the case of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the reach notice effect in the pseudo-ream is displayed on each time of fluctuation display (from the first fluctuation start to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the next temporary stop, from the last temporary stop to the final stop). However, which reach notice effect is to be executed is determined separately for each variable display. On the other hand, it is also possible to select a pattern that determines a combination of reach notice effects at each time of the variable display at a time when the decorative symbol variable display is started.

  For example, if the pattern of “effect B-effect A-step-up effect 2” is selected at the start of the fluctuation display of the two pseudo-continuations, the effect B is displayed in the period from the change start to the first temporary stop. Production A is executed in the period from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop, and step-up production 2 is executed in the period from the second temporary stop to the final stop. From the viewpoint of the player, the production B is individually determined for the period from the fluctuation start to the first temporary stop, and the production A is individually determined for the period from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop. And it will not be different from the case where the step-up effect 2 is determined individually for the period from the second temporary stop to the final stop.

  The present invention is applicable to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, and in particular, when the display result of identification information on the variable display device becomes a predetermined specific display result, it is advantageous for the player. It is preferably applied to a gaming machine to be controlled.
