  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a technique related to a game effect by a director.

  Conventionally, in a general pachinko gaming machine, a plurality of winning holes are provided in a game area where a game ball can flow down, and a player operates a launch handle to launch a game ball in the game area to play a game. When the game ball is won in the winning opening, several to ten or more game balls can be obtained for each game ball.

  In recent years, in the mainstream models, a game area has a start opening and an open / close-type big winning opening, and when a game ball wins the starting opening, the determination information is acquired when the start condition is established, and based on the determination information, `` big hit '' The determination symbol indicating the result of the jackpot determination is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display after the symbol variation is displayed. When it is determined as “big hit”, the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure display, and a special game for opening the normally closed big prize opening is performed.

  When a special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, a symbol variation effect that suggests the result of the jackpot determination relating to the variation is displayed. When a special game is being performed, a special game effect that excites the special game is displayed respectively. It is performed using a production device including a display device, and the game performance and the game interest are enhanced by such game production.

  In a model (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) having a director acting that can be operated as a director, when the director is operated in the symbol variation effect, it is determined to be a “hit” than when it does not operate. It is possible to enhance the production effect so that the big hit expectation degree is high and the big hit expectation degree is different depending on the operation mode of the production role. Here, a model including a plurality of stage effects that can be operated is also known.

The sub image display 22d is controlled. The sub image display 22d may be controlled by a computer of the image control board 34.

  As shown in FIG. 7, each means 40-47, 50-57, 60 of illustration is comprised mainly by the computer of the game control board 31. As shown in FIG.

  The special figure counter means 40 sequentially updates the jackpot determination value, the special figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value every minute time within the set range. The special figure acquisition means 41 is updated by the special figure counter means 40 when the first special figure holding number is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first start opening 10 and the special figure start condition is established. The jackpot determination value, the special figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information, and the second special figure is held when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a. When the number is less than 4, the special figure start condition is established, and the big hit determination value, the special figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value updated by the special figure counter means 40 are set as a second characteristic. Acquired as figure determination information. The special figure hold storage means 42 can store (hold) up to four pieces of first and second special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 and not subjected to the determination by the big hit determination means 44a.

  The special figure hold digest means 43 determines the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 by the big hit determination means 44a one by one every time the special symbol change starts in the special figure indicators 19a and 19b. Is deleted from the special figure holding storage means 42 (holding digestion). At this time, when a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 42, the order in which the plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 (that is, the special figure acquisition means 41). In the case where both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is given priority over the first special figure determination information. Digest.

  In the special figure determination means 44, based on the special figure determination information (stored in the special figure holding storage means 42) acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 when the special figure start condition is satisfied, the special symbol is described in detail. Based on the special figure determination information related to the variable display of the special symbol, that is, the special figure determination information digested by the special figure holding and digesting means 43 when the variable display is performed, the big hit determination means 44a has a special advantage advantageous to the player. When it is determined whether or not a game is to be performed and it is determined that a special game is to be performed, the symbol determination unit 44b determines the opening / closing pattern of the special winning opening 13a during the special game and the game state after the special game is ended.

  Specifically, first, based on the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information, the jackpot determination means 44a determines whether or not to perform the jackpot game that is a special game, and is a special game that is different in category from the jackpot game. It is determined whether or not to play a winning game. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the determination is made using either the low accuracy table or the high accuracy table as the big hit determination table. When using a low-accuracy table, if the big hit judgment value matches one of the big hit specific values (3,247 ...) at a rate of about 1/320, it is judged that a big hit game will be played, and if a high-precision table is used, a big hit judgment If the value matches one of the big hit specific values (3,7 ...) at a rate of about 10/320, it is judged that the big hit game will be performed, and the big hit judgment is made regardless of whether the low accuracy table or the high accuracy table is used. If the value matches one of the small hit specific values (4, 44...) At a ratio of about 3/320, it is determined that the small hit game is performed.

  If it is determined that the jackpot game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 44b then selects one of a plurality of types of jackpot symbols based on the special symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information, and the selected jackpot Depending on the type of symbol, the opening / closing pattern of the special winning opening 13a during the special game and the game state after the special game is finished are determined.

  The special figure display control means 45 is triggered by the fact that the first special figure determination information is digested by the special figure holding digest means 43 based on the determination results by the big hit determination means 44a and the symbol determination means 44b. After the first special symbol is variably displayed on the display 19a, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed, and the second special symbol determination information is digested by the special symbol reservation digesting means 43. After the second special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display 19b, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the big hit game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 44a, the big hit symbol of the type selected by the symbol determination means 44b is stopped and displayed, and when it is determined that the small hit game is to be executed, the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed. If it is determined that the special game (big hit game, small hit game) is not performed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The variation mode determination means 45a of the special figure display control means 45 includes a symbol selected based on the determination result by the big hit determination means 44a and the symbol determination means 44b, the reach determination value and the variation pattern determination value of the special figure determination information, and Based on the first and second special figure holding numbers and the like, the special figure fluctuation time (fluctuation mode) is determined. Then, the special figure display control means 45 causes the special symbol to be variably displayed for the special figure fluctuation time determined by the fluctuation mode deciding means 45a, and then stops the determination symbol.

  The prior determination means 44c of the special figure determination means 44 is based on the determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 (that is, the special figure determination information that is later digested by the special figure hold digest means 43). When the special figure determination information is acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 and stored in the special figure hold storage means 42, the determination and determination by the big hit determination means 44a, the symbol determination means 44b, and the variation mode determination means 45a Equivalent determination and determination can be made in advance.

  When the special game executing means 46 determines that a special game (big hit game, small hit game) is to be performed by the big hit determining means 44a, the special figure display control means 45 determines a determination symbol indicating the determination result, ie, a symbol determining means. After the judgment symbol (big hit symbol, small hit symbol) selected by 44b is stopped and displayed, a special game (big hit game, small bonus) advantageous to the player who opens and closes the big winning opening 13a with an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the judgment symbol. Per game).

  The probability setting means 47 uses the low probability table shown in FIG. 8 as the first probability (about 1/320) or the high probability shown in FIG. 8 to determine the big hit probability determined to be a big hit game by the big hit determination means 44a. A second probability (about 10/320) higher than the first probability is set using a table.

  On the other hand, the normal counter 50 updates the hit determination value and the normal determination value sequentially every minute time within the set range. When the game ball passes through the gate 12 and the number of holds in the map is less than 4, the map acquisition means 51 establishes a map start condition and updates the hit determination value updated by the map counter means 50. The figure determination value is acquired as a set of common map determination information. The common figure hold storage means 52 can store (hold) up to four pieces of common figure determination information acquired by the general figure acquisition means 51 and not subjected to the determination by the general figure determination means 54.

  The universal figure reservation means 53 uses the universal figure determination information stored in the universal figure hold storage means 52 for determination by the universal figure determination means 54 one by one every time the normal symbol display 19c starts to change. Then, it is deleted (holding digestion) from the usual figure holding storage means 52. At this time, when a plurality of common map determination information is stored in the hold storage unit 52, the plurality of common map determination information is acquired in the order stored in the general map hold storage unit 52 (that is, acquired by the general map acquisition unit 51). Digest in the order in which they were made.

  Based on the general map determination information (stored in the general map hold storage unit 52) acquired by the general map acquisition unit 51 when the general map start condition is satisfied, the general map determination unit 54 varies in detail. When being displayed, it is determined whether or not an auxiliary game is to be performed based on the general pattern determination information related to the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, that is, the general pattern determination information digested by the general chart hold digest means 53.

  Based on the determination result by the general map determination unit 54, the general map display control unit 55 changes the normal symbol on the general map display 19c when the general map determination information is digested by the general map hold digest unit 53. After the display, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. When it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be played by the common symbol determination means 54, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and when it is determined that the auxiliary game is not to be performed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the base game determination unit 54 performs the auxiliary game, the auxiliary game execution unit 56 stops the display of the determination symbol (winning symbol) indicating the determination result by the general diagram display control unit 55, 2 An auxiliary game for opening and closing the start port 11a is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the operation mode setting means 57 sets a low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is hardly operated in the open state or a high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state as the second start port operation mode. . In the low operation mode, the hit probability determined to perform the auxiliary game by the normal figure determination means 54 is 1/10, the normal figure fluctuation time of the normal symbol on the normal figure display 19c is 12 seconds, and the second in the auxiliary game The start opening / closing pattern of the start opening 11a is set to 0.1 second x 1 time. In the high operation mode, the hit probability is set to 10/10, the normal fluctuation time is set to 0.5 seconds, and the start opening / closing pattern is set to 2.0 seconds x 3 times. Is done.

  The gaming state control means 60 alternatively sets any one of a plurality of types of gaming states (the normal gaming state, the short-time gaming state, the latent probability gaming state, the probability variation gaming state shown in FIG. 10), and the gaming state Control the game with. When the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed when the power is turned on, the normal gaming state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the normal gaming state and the short-time gaming state are set, the first probability (about 1/320) is set by the probability setting means 47, and the latent probability gaming state and the probability variation gaming state are set. In this case, the probability setting means 47 sets the second probability (about 10/320). Further, when the normal game state and the latent game state are set, the low operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 57, and when the short time game state and the probability variation game state are set, the operation mode setting means 57 sets the high operation mode. The mode is set.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a game effect is produced by a production means 80 (image display 16, production effect devices 21, 22, 23, speaker 37) by a computer such as the production control board 33, the image control board 34, and the lamp control board 35. The effect control means 70 to be performed by the lamps 38a, 38b) is configured. The effect control means 70 includes a symbol variation effect control means 71, a special game effect control means 72, a pre-read effect effect control means 73, and an accessory control means 74. I have.

  The symbol variation effect control means 71 displays a special symbol variably displayed on the special symbol displays 19a and 19b by the special symbol display control means 45 as a game effect suggesting the determination result by the big hit determination means 44a (symbol determination means 44b). 11, depending on the special symbol variation time (determined by the variation mode determining means 45a) of the special symbol, a plurality of types of symbol variation effects (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,. ..N) The symbol variation effect selected from n) is performed.

  The special game effect control means 72 displays the figure according to the type of jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed at the start of the special game by the special figure display control means 45 when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 46. 11 (2), a special game effect selected from a plurality of types of special game effects (special game effects 1, 2, 3... N) is performed, and at the end of the special game effect (special game), An ending effect selected from a plurality of types of ending effects (ending effects 1, 2, 3,... N) shown in FIG.

  The prefetch effect control means 73 can perform a prefetch effect on the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 based on the determination result by the prior determination means 44c. In this case, when the special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 42, the latest special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 is set as the target of the prefetch effect (prefetch target determination information). The pre-reading effect execution determination is performed to determine whether the pre-reading target determination information is used, and the pre-reading effect is performed on the pre-reading target determination information.

  The accessory control means 74 is an effect control means for controlling the first effect accessory 21a and the two (plural) second effect actors 22a and 23a, and includes first to fourth effect control means 74a to 74d. .

  The first effect control means 74a causes the first effect actor 21a to perform the first effect including an operation to instruct one of the two second effect actors 22a and 23a. The second effect control unit 74b causes the second effect actor 22a or 23a instructed by the first effect performed by the first effect control unit 74a to perform a predetermined second effect.

  The first effect control means 74a determines any second effect actor 22a or 23a based on the determination result by the determination means 44 (big hit determination means 44a), and the determined second effect actor 22a or 23a. In the first effect, depending on which second effector 22a or 23a of the two second effectors 22a and 23a is designated by the first effector 21a. The special game expectation is different. In addition, you may change the operation | movement aspect (how to move or timing to move) of the 1st production | presentation actor 21a according to a special game expectation degree. Here, a series of effect productions are performed in which the first effect actor 21a and the second effect actor 22a, or the first effect actor 21a and the second effect actor 23a cooperate (link and link). .

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 13, as the first effect of the first effect character 21 a that instructs the second effect character 22 a, the first effect control means 74 a is the first effect character. After the object 21a is rotated from the standby position to the first actor instruction position indicated by the solid line in which the instruction portion (finger) 21a1 of the first effect actor 21a indicates the second effect actor 22a, and temporarily stopped. Rotate to the standby position.

  As the second effect of the instructed second effect actor 22a, as shown in FIG. 12 (2), after the first effect agent 21a rotates to the standby position, the second effect control means 74b The director 22a is rotated from the standby position to the operation position indicated by the solid line, temporarily stopped, and then rotated to the standby position. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 13, when the first effect actor 21 a is rotated to the first accessory instruction position (or after being rotated to the standby position), the second effect control means 74 b performs the second effect. The effect display is performed on the sub-image display 22d without rotating the accessory 22a from the standby position.

  Alternatively, the second effect control means 74b rotates the second effect actor 22a from the standby position to the operating position as described above, temporarily stops it, rotates it to the standby position, and determines a predetermined value therebetween. (For example, when the second effect actor 22a is located at the operating position), the sub image display 22d causes the effect display to be performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (1), as the first effect of the first effect agent 21 a instructing the second effect agent 23 a, the first effect control means 74 a 21a is rotated from the standby position to the second actor instruction position indicated by the solid line in which the instruction portion (fingertip) 21a1 of the first theater actor 21a indicates the second theater actor 23a, and temporarily stopped. Turn to the standby position.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (2), as the second effect of the instructed second effect actor 23a, after the first effect agent 21a rotates to the standby position, the second effect control means 74b The director 23a is moved from the standby position to the operation position indicated by the solid line and temporarily stopped, or is moved back and forth between the standby position and the operation position indicated by the solid line, and then moved to the standby position.

  In the first effect, two second effects are obtained by reciprocating the first effect agent 21a between the position indicating the second effect agent 22a and the position indicating the second effect agent 23a. You may make the 1st production | presentation thing 21a perform the operation | movement which irradiates which of the production | presentation role 22a and 23a is instruct | indicated. In addition, an operation of instructing a different second directing agent 23a that appears to have instructed the second directing agent 22a, or conversely, a second directing agent 22a that pretends to have instructed the second directing agent 23a. You may make the 1st production | presentation actor 21a perform the operation | movement which instruct | indicates.

  The third effect control means 74c is different from the operation of instructing the first effect agent 21a to the second effect agent 22a or 23a (the operation of the first effect agent 21a itself, that is, the second effect agent 22a or 23a. 3rd effect including an action that suggests a special game expectation degree (ie, an original action that does not cooperate (link and link)).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 (1), as the third effect of the first effect character 21a, the third effect control unit 74c changes the first effect character 21a from the standby position to the virtual line (1). (2) Rotate to the standby position.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15 (2), as the third effect of the first effect actor 21a having a higher special game expectation than the operation of FIG. 15 (1), the third effect control means 74c is (1) After rotating from the standby position to the first operating position indicated by the virtual line and temporarily stopping, (2) further rotating to the second operating position indicated by the virtual line and temporarily stopping, (3) Turn to the standby position.

  The fourth effect control unit 74d causes the first effect actor 21a to perform a fourth effect including a predetermined operation, and causes the image display 16 to display a specific effect that is an effect in cooperation with the fourth effect.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, as the fourth effect of the first effect actor 21a, the fourth effect control means 74d rotates the first effect actor 21a from the standby position to the display instruction position indicated by the solid line. Move and pause. As a specific effect of the image display 16, a display frame is displayed in the vicinity of the instruction part 21 a 1 of the first effect object 21 a temporarily stopped in the screen of the image display 16, and a character string is displayed in the display frame. . After that, the first effect accessory 21a is rotated to the standby position.

  Now, as shown in FIG. 17, there are six accessory effect patterns of effect effects performed using at least one of the effect actors 21a, 22a, and 23a in the symbol variation effect, and each accessory effect pattern is executed. Among the plurality of symbol variation effects that are performed when the symbol variation effect is determined to be performed by the big hit determination means 44a, and when the symbol variation effect is determined not to be performed, the plurality of symbol variation effects that are performed Is included.

  As described with reference to FIG. 15, the accessory effect pattern 1 is a pattern that suggests a special game expectation level by the effect operation of the first effect agent 21a itself, and the accessory effect pattern 2 is as described with reference to FIG. Furthermore, the effect production pattern 3 is a pattern in which the production effect of the first production effect 21a and the production display of the image display 16 are performed in collaboration, and the production effect production pattern 3 is, as described with reference to FIG. This is a pattern in which the second effect actor 23a instructed by the effect operation 21a performs the effect operation.

  As described in FIG. 12, the accessory effect pattern 4 is a pattern in which the second effect accessory 22a instructed by the effect operation of the first effect agent 21a performs an effect operation. As described with reference to FIG. 13, the second effect accessory 22a instructed by the effect operation of the first effect accessory 21a is a pattern in which the effect display is performed, and the effect effect effect pattern 6 is the pattern of the first effect accessory 21a. The second effect role 22a instructed by the effect operation is a pattern (combination of the effect effect patterns 4 and 5) for effect operation and effect display.

  Here, when the accessory effect pattern 4 or 5 or 6 (the effect by the second effect agent 22a) is executed, the accessory effect pattern 3 (the effect by the second effect agent 23a) is executed. The first effect control means 74a determines any one of the second effect actors 22a and 23a from the second effect actors 22a and 23a so that the degree of special game expectation increases. The first effect instructing the effect character 22a or 23a is performed.

  Here, when executing the accessory effect pattern 4 or 6, in order to prevent mutual interference between the first effect agent 21a and the second effect agent 22a, the first effect agent 21a is the first effect agent 21a as described above. When the first effector 21a is operated so that the second effector 22a is operated after the first effector instruction position is turned to the standby position, the second effector 22a is moved to the standby position. The operation is limited to keep the operation stopped.

  However, even when the first effector 21a is operated, the second effector 22a is operated within the range where the first effector 21a and the second effector 22a do not interfere with each other. It is good also as restrict | limiting and having performed the 2nd effect by the operation | movement.

The accessory effect patterns 1 to 6 will be described more specifically.
As shown in FIG. 18, the operation content (operation mode) of the first effect item 21a of the effect effect pattern 1 is either the operation to the first operation position or the operation to the second operation position. The operation is selected and executed at the selection rate shown in the figure when the winning is determined to be performed by the big hit determining means 44a and when the winning is determined not to be performed. In other words, when the first performance accessory 21a is moved to the second operation position, the special game expectation is higher than when the first effect role 21a is moved to the first operation position.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the display content (display mode; display character string in the screen display frame of the image display 16 shown in FIG. 16) of the first effect accessory 21 a of the accessory effect pattern 2 is “do your best”. Any one of “suspicious”, “maybe hot”, “extremely hot”, and “congratulations” is selected and executed according to the selection rate shown in the figure when winning and when winning. That is, the special game expectation by the display increases in the order of “Do your best” → “Suspicious” → “It may be hot” → “Intense heat” → “Congratulations”.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the operation content (operation mode) of the second effect accessory 23a of the effect effect pattern 3 is any one of slow and small operation, slow and large operation, fast and small operation, and fast and large operation. The selection is executed at the selection rate shown in the figure when winning and when winning. In other words, the special game expectation degree due to the operation of the second performance accessory 23a increases in the order of slow and small operation → slow and large operation → fast and small operation → fast and large operation.

  As shown in FIG. 21, regarding the operation content (operation mode) of the second effect item 22a of the effect effect patterns 4 and 6, either the slow operation or the fast operation is performed at the time of winning and at the time of defeat. Each is selected and executed at the selection rate shown. That is, the special game expectation is higher when the second performance accessory 22a operates faster than when it operates late.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the display contents (display mode; display color of the sub-image display 22d shown in FIG. 13) of the second effect accessory 22a of the accessory effect patterns 5 and 6 are white, yellow, red, One of the rainbow displays is selected and executed at the selection rate shown in the figure when winning and when winning. That is, the special game expectation by the display becomes higher in the order of white → yellow → red → rainbow.

  Next, in order to achieve the functions of the respective means 40 to 47, 50 to 57, 60, and 70 to 74 shown in FIG. 7, the control device 30 (the computer of the game control board 31 and the effect control board 33) executes. This process will be described with reference to a flowchart.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the timer interrupt processing executed by the computer of the game control board 31 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt processing, random number update processing (S1), switch processing (S2 ), Symbol processing (S3), electric accessory processing (S4), prize ball processing (S5), and output processing (S6) are sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the start port SW process performed in the switch process of S2, when the first start port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), when the first special figure reservation number U1 is less than 4 (S12 ; Yes), the first special figure holding number U1 is added to U1 + 1 (S13), and the big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the fluctuation pattern determination value (first special figure determination information) are acquired and stored. (S14) Next, a pre-determination process (S15) is executed, and a first special figure pending number increase command is set (S16).

  When the second start port SW11c is on (S17; Yes), when the second special figure reservation number U2 is less than 4 (S18; Yes), the second special figure reservation number U2 is added to U2 + 1 (S19). The big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value (second special figure determination information) are acquired and stored (S20), and then the preliminary determination process (S21) is executed, The figure holding number increase command is set (S22).

  In the predetermination process of S15 and S21, basically the same process as S38 and S39 of the special symbol process of S3 described below is performed. In S16 and S22, the determination result of the predetermination process of S15 and S21 is related. A special figure holding number increase command including the prior determination information is set. The commands set in S16 and S22 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 23 by the output process of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the special symbol processing performed in the symbol processing of S3, the special game flag (big hit game flag or small hit game flag) is not ON (that is, big hit game or small hit game is being executed) ( S31; No), when the special symbol is not changing (S32; No), it is determined whether the second special figure holding number U2 is 1 or more (S33). If the determination in S32 is Yes, that is, if the special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to S42.

  If the determination in S33 is Yes, the second special figure hold number U2 is subtracted from U2-1 (S34). If the determination in S33 is No, it is determined whether the first special figure hold number U1 is 1 or more. (S35). If the determination in S35 is Yes, the first special figure hold number U1 is subtracted from U1-1 (S36), and if the determination in S35 is No, a customer waiting setting process (S46) is executed. After execution of S34 or S36, the customer waiting flag is turned off (S37), a big hit determination process (S38) is executed, and subsequently, a variation mode selection process (S39) is executed.

  In the jackpot determination process in S38, as described with reference to FIG. 8, the jackpot determination value jackpot identification of the special figure determination information having the highest digestion priority among the special figure determination information stored in the special figure storage unit 32 is specified. If it is a value, the big hit symbol is selected and set based on the symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information. If the big hit determination value is a small hit specific value, a small hit symbol is set, and if the big hit determination value is neither the big hit specific value nor the small hit specific value, a lost symbol is set.

  In the variation mode selection process of S39, the variation mode (special diagram variation time) is selected and set based on the design set in S38, the reach determination value, the variation pattern determination value, and the like of the special diagram determination information. After that, the first or second special symbol starts to fluctuate (S40), and includes the symbol set in S38 (any one of the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol, or the lost symbol) and the information on the fluctuation mode set in S39. A figure change start command is set (S41).

  Next, when the special symbol variation time set in S39 has elapsed since the start of the variation of the special symbol (S42; Yes), the variation of the first or second special symbol is stopped (S43), where S38 The set symbol is displayed on the first or second special figure display 19a or 19b. Subsequently, a special figure change stop command is set (S44), and a stop process (S45) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the effect control board 33 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, command reception process (S101), effect operation switch process (S102), command transmission processing (S103) is sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 27, in the command reception process of S101, it is determined whether or not a pending number increase command is received (S111). If the determination of S111 is Yes, a pending number addition process (S112) is executed, and then Then, the hold number increase command is set (S113), and then the hold number addition prefetching related process (S114) is executed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a special figure change start command is received (S115). If the determination in S115 is Yes, a symbol change effect selection process (S116) is executed. In the symbol variation effect selection process in S116, the received special symbol variation start command is analyzed, and a symbol variation effect corresponding to the variation mode set in S39 is selected from the plural types of symbol variation effects in FIG. Selected.

  Here, when the symbol variation effect that executes any one of the accessory effect patterns 1 to 6 shown in FIG. 17 is selected, the operation content and the display content are selected based on the analyzed symbol. Then, a symbol variation effect start command including information on the selected symbol variation effect is set, and when any one of the effect effect patterns 1 to 6 is performed, information on the operation content and display content is included. A symbol variation production start command is set.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a special symbol variation stop command has been received (S117). If the determination in S117 is Yes, a symbol variation rendering end process (S118) is executed, where a symbol variation rendering termination command is set. Is done. Next, when an opening command is received (S119; Yes), a special game effect selection process (S120) is executed. When an ending command is received (S121; Yes), an ending effect selection process (S122) is executed, Finally, a customer waiting process (S123) is executed.

  In the special game effect selection process of S120, as described with reference to FIG. 11 (2), any one of a plurality of special game effects is selected, and a special game effect start command including information on the special game effect is set. In the ending effect selection process in S122, as described with reference to FIG. 11 (3), any one of a plurality of ending effects is selected, and an ending effect start command including information on the ending effect is set.

  The computer of the image control board 44 and the computer of the lamp control board 45 each execute processing according to the command received from the effect control board 33. That is, a symbol variation effect according to the received symbol variation effect start command is performed, a special game effect according to the received special game effect start command is performed, and an ending effect according to the received ending effect start command is performed. .

  Here, if the computer of the lamp control board 45 includes the information on the operation content or the display content for executing any of the accessory effect patterns 1 to 6 in the received symbol variation effect start command, Based on the information, the effect actors 21a, 22a, 23a are controlled to execute any one of the accessory effect patterns 1-6.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When the normal game state or the latent game state is set, the player operates the launch handle 7 to fire the game ball so as to aim at the first start port 10 and play the game. When the first special figure holding number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the first starting port 10, the first special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure holding storage means 42, and the special figure holding storage means 42 is obtained. The first special figure determination information stored in is sequentially digested (erased) every time the first special symbol changes.

  When the short-time gaming state or the probability variation gaming state is set, the player operates the launching handle 7 to launch a game ball to aim at the second starting port 11a and play a game. When the second special figure holding number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, the second special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure holding storage means 42, and the special figure holding storage means 42 is stored. The second special figure determination information stored in is sequentially digested (erased) every time the second special symbol changes.

  Here, when the game ball passes through the gate 12, the common figure determination information is acquired and stored in the general figure hold storage means 52. The common figure determination information stored in the general figure hold storage means 52 is the start of fluctuation of the normal symbol. Digested sequentially (erased). Then, a winning lottery is performed by digesting the common figure determination information, and when winning is made in the winning lottery, an auxiliary game is generated in which the second starting port 11a is opened after the winning symbol is stopped by the universal symbol display 19c.

  In the normal game state or the latent game state, the low start mode is set as the second start port operation mode, and almost no winning of the game ball to the second start port 11a can be expected, so the number of owned game balls is reduced. In the short-time gaming state or the probability variation gaming state, the high operation mode is set as the second starting port operation mode, and a relatively large number of game balls can be expected to win the second starting port 11a. A game can be played while maintaining the number of possessed game balls substantially.

  The special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the special symbol starts. At that time, a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 42. If there is, the plurality of special figure determination information is digested in the order of acquisition. However, if both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is stored. Is preferentially digested over the first special figure determination information. Then, when the big hit lottery is performed by digesting the special figure determination information, and when the big win lottery is won, a big hit game in which the big winning symbol 13a is opened after the big win symbol is stopped fluctuating in the special figure indicators 19a and 19b is generated. Thus, a considerable number of game balls can be obtained.

  By the way, based on the determination result by the special symbol determination means 44 (big hit determination means 44a, symbol determination means 44b), after the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 19a and 19b, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped. Although it is displayed, when the special symbol is variably displayed, a symbol variation effect is performed. As this symbol variation effect, an effect suggesting a special game expectation level is performed, and this symbol variation effect enhances game characteristics and game entertainment.

  The symbol variation effect is performed by outputting sound and light mainly for display on the image display 16, and in this symbol variation effect, the effect by the effect actors 21a, 22a, and 23a is added. Is increased. In a predetermined symbol variation effect, the player can expect that an effect that increases the degree of special game expectation will be performed after the first effect object 21a starts operating.

  That is, any one of the accessory effect patterns 1 to 6 including the operation of the first effect agent 21a is executed. Depending on the accessory effect pattern, the operation content of the effect agent in the accessory effect pattern Since the special game expectation varies depending on the display content, the player can expect an effect with a higher special game expectation to be performed.

  Now, according to the present invention, the first effect control means 74a instructs the first effect actor 21a to select one of the two second effect actors 22a and 23a. The second effect control means 74b causes the second effect actor 22a or 23a instructed by the first effect performed by the first effect control means 74a to perform the second effect.

  That is, the second effect of the second effect actor 22a or 23a is performed following the first effect of the first effect agent 21a, but the first effect agent 21a simply operates in the first effect. However, the operation has a role of instructing which of the second effect actors 22a and 23a will perform the second effect next, an effect including the operation of the first effect actor 21a, and the operation thereof. Since the relation with any of the effects of the second effect actors 22a and 23a performed in conjunction with each other is clarified, the game effect by the effect actor can be made novel and the effect of the effect can be enhanced. .

  Further, the first effect control unit 74a determines one of the two second effect actors 22a and 23a based on the special game expectation level, and determines the determined second effect. The first effect instructing the accessory 22a or 23a is performed. That is, since the special game expectation degree differs depending on the second effect actor 22a or 23a instructed by the first effect actor 21a, the effect of the first effect actor 21a operating can be enhanced.

  Further, the third effect control means 74c causes the first effect actor 21a to perform a third effect that suggests a special game expectation level by the operation of the first effect actor 21a itself, and the fourth effect control means 74d The first effect actor 21a performs a fourth effect including a predetermined operation, and causes the image display 16 to display a specific effect that is an effect in cooperation with the fourth effect.

  In other words, the first stage actor 21a is not only a function of instructing which of the second stage actors 22a and 23a will perform the second stage next by its operation, but also the operation of the first stage actor 21a itself. Since it has both a function for performing an effect suggesting a special game expectation level and a function for performing an effect in cooperation with a specific effect by the image display 16, these functions can be used alternatively. The effect produced by the movement of the object 21a can be further enhanced.

  In addition, in the said Example, although control by the 1st-4th production control means 74a-74d is performed in a symbol fluctuation production, it may be performed in other game productions (for example, special game production).
