(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a launch handle HD, and when the launch handle HD is rotated, a game ball is launched onto the game board YB.

  The game board YB is provided with a special symbol display device 11 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In this special symbol display device 11, a variable game (special symbol variation game) is displayed in which a plurality of types of symbols (special symbols) are displayed in a variable manner.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol display device 11 selects one special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery from a plurality of types of special symbols, and the selected special symbol is stopped by the end of the variable game. Is displayed. The special symbol is classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a jackpot and a miss symbol that can recognize a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game.

  The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 13 for displaying images. In the effect display device 13, a display effect related to the variable game is performed. Specifically, as the display effect, a decorative design variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of decorative designs are varied in a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment).

  The effect display device 13 is configured such that a plurality of types of decorative symbols can be displayed in a variable manner and stopped for each column. The effect display device 13 is configured with a display area larger than that of the special symbol display device 11, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result) by a decorative symbol. When the jackpot symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the player is given a jackpot game after the end of the variable game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are not of the same type, it is possible to recognize a deviation from the symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the deviation is a symbol combination of the detachment symbol (result of the loss display).

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in each column of the effect display device 13 along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the variation game is started. When the variable game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to change), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle symbol) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 13. ), The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative symbols in the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are stopped and displayed as the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) This is a state in which the decorative design of is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol. Further, in the present embodiment, after the start of the variable game, the left column that first stops the decorative symbols is the first stop display column, and the right column that next stops and displays the decorative symbols is the second stop display column. Finally, the middle row where the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed is the third stop display row.

  In addition, on the effect display device 13, the symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 11 is finally stopped and displayed. More specifically, a special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11 corresponds to a symbol combination by a decorative symbol that is finally stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. For example, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11, the jackpot symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. Further, when the special symbol display device 11 is stopped and displayed, the off symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration symbol with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration symbol is selected from the symbol combinations by a some decoration symbol with respect to one special symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a start winning device 15 having a start winning port 14 into which a game ball can always enter is disposed below the effect display device 13. In addition, the start winning device 15 is provided with a start sensor SE1 that detects a game ball that has entered the start winning opening 14. When the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the start winning opening 14, the start condition of the variable game can be established. In addition, when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the start winning port 14, a predetermined number of game ball payout conditions are established.

  Further, in the lower right portion of the effect display device 13 (to the right of the start winning opening 14), there is provided a big winning device 20 having a big winning port 19 into which a game ball can be entered. In addition, the big winning device 20 is provided with a count sensor SE3 that detects a game ball that has entered the big winning opening 19. When the count sensor SE3 detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 19, a payout condition for game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls is established.

  Further, the special winning device 20 is provided with a special prize opening door 21 that opens and closes by the operation of the special prize opening solenoid SOL1. The big prize opening 19 is always closed with the big prize opening door 21 closed. When the big hit game is awarded, the big prize opening door 21 is opened according to the kind of the big hit game given, the big prize opening 19 is opened, and the opening of the game ball is allowed by the opening. . For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a large number of prize balls can be obtained. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by the internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is stopped and displayed in the variable game.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a holding display device 22 is disposed on the game board YB. The hold display device 22 indicates the number of variable games whose execution is put on hold. Specifically, the hold display device 22 is executed (started) because the start condition of the variable game is satisfied by entering the start winning opening 14, but the execution condition of the variable game is not yet satisfied. This indicates the number of variable games that are being held, that is, the so-called start-hold memory count (hereinafter referred to as “hold memory count”).

Next, the jackpot game in this embodiment will be described.
The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable game and the game is finished. When the big hit game starts, the opening time is set. And in this opening time, the opening effect which shows the start of a big hit game is performed first. In addition, when the opening time ends, a round game in which the special winning opening 19 is opened is performed a plurality of times up to a predetermined prescribed number of rounds. During one round game, the big winning opening 19 is opened until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a predetermined time elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. When all round games are finished, an ending time is set. Also, during this ending time, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  In this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from a plurality of types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. Then, which of the big hit games among a plurality of types of big hit games is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) that is determined when the big hit lottery is won.

Here, the specifications of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 2 (a) illustrates a jackpot game that is awarded when a winning game is achieved in a variable game. In FIG. 2, “symbol” indicates the type of jackpot symbol, “ratio” indicates the rate at which the jackpot game is awarded, and “specified number of Rs” indicates the specified number of rounds. “OP” indicates the opening time, and “opening mode of the big winning opening” is the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 19 when there is no upper limit number of gaming balls in one round game. Indicates. “ED” indicates the ending time.

  In FIG. 2B, “big hit probability” indicates the winning probability of the big hit determination (lottery). Further, “when the start sensor is detected” indicates the number of payout prize balls when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball, and “when the count sensor is detected” indicates a payout prize ball when the count sensor SE3 detects a game ball. Indicates a number. The “upper limit number of balls entered in a big hit game” indicates the number of balls that can be entered in one round game.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described based on FIG.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 executes processing related to the determination of the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 13 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display content is controlled according to the processing result.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A start sensor SE1 and a count sensor SE3 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A special symbol display device 11 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. A hold display device 22 is connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. Fluctuation patterns are game effects (display effects, etc.) from when a symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts variable display (the variable game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the variable game ends). It shows the pattern that becomes the base. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the contents of the variation game (such as whether there is a big hit, whether there is a reach effect, etc.) from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped. .

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies a jackpot effect. In addition, the fluctuation pattern includes a loss reach fluctuation pattern that specifies a loss reach effect that is finally set as a deviation after a predetermined effect (for example, reach effect) is performed, and a loss effect that is determined as a gap without forming a reach. There is an outlier variation pattern that identifies Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern, the loss reach variation pattern, and the loss variation pattern.

  The jackpot effect is an effect that the variable game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol combination of the jackpot through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the fluctuating game is subjected to the reach effect and finally stops and displays the symbol combination of the disparity. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the variable game finally stops and displays the symbol combinations that are out of reach without going through the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed in a variable game with decorative symbols on the effect display device 13 after a reach symbol combination is formed until a jackpot symbol combination or an outlier symbol combination is derived.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery. The main control ROM 30b stores a reach determination value used in the reach lottery for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. The main control RAM 30c stores various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

  Further, in the main control board 30, various random numbers used as hit determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, reach effect determination random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers are generated. Incidentally, the random number for hit determination is a random number used for the big hit lottery. The reach determination random number is a random number used for reach lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining a special symbol (type of jackpot). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The distribution of the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution is different for each classification of the loss variation pattern, the loss reach variation pattern, and the big hit variation pattern. The random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a as effect control means. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect display CPU 13 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when various control commands are input, the display content of the effect display device 13 is controlled based on the effect control program.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a ball entering determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning opening 14. That is, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input in the ball entering determination. When the determination result of the entry determination is affirmative (when the entry is made), the main control CPU 30a specifies the number of reserved memories based on the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c, and the specified number of reserved memories is the upper limit (this In the embodiment, the pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether the number is less than “4”). When the determination result of the reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the variable game, and stores a predetermined storage area in the main control RAM 30c. Store the random value obtained in. At that time, it is stored so that the acquisition order of random values related to the variable game can be recognized. Note that the main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the number of reserved memories based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (for example, the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game). The main control CPU 30a controls the hold display device 22 to display the updated hold memory number when the stored content of the main control RAM 30c is updated and the hold memory number changes. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating hold storage information such as the number of hold memories after the update. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated. When the determination result of the ball entering determination is negative (when the ball has not entered the start winning opening 14), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
If the main control CPU 30a is not in the big hit game and is not in the symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a specifies the number of reserved memories and determines whether the number of reserved memories is greater than “0”. When the number of reserved memories is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (when the number of stored memories> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the variable game is satisfied, and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. A value indicating that the variation game is executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag. In the present embodiment, neither the big hit game nor the symbol variation game is being executed, and the execution condition for the variation game is satisfied when the number of reserved memories is> 0.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a, among random number values related to the variable game (used for the variable game), random number values related to the variable game that are executed earliest in accordance with the acquisition sequence (random numbers for hit determination, variable pattern distribution) Random number for reach determination, random number for reach determination and random number for special symbol distribution). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified reserved storage number, and changes the display content of the hold display device 22 so as to represent the reserved storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating hold storage information such as the number of hold memories after update.

The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the acquired random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery).
When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot game based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value, The final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11 is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the acquired variation pattern distribution random number value.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. At the same time when the fluctuation pattern designation command is output, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 11 so as to start the fluctuation of the special symbol. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot game can be specified, so the special symbol designation command is also a hit category designation command for designating the type of bonus game. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a specially displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time (variation time) set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the symbol display device 11 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit determination is not), the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c matches the reach determination value.

  And when the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlier reach variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the deviation variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts controlling the big hit game of the type specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the change game based on the determined change pattern. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the control CPU 31a).

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 19 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the big winning opening 19 until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a predetermined time predetermined for each round game elapses.

  Then, when the special winning opening 19 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until a predetermined interval time has elapsed for each round game, and then ends the round game. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the effect display device is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols by the decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed at 13 is determined.

  That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design and the outlier reach variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and the deviation variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of deviation.

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the representation display device 13 to execute the variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the variable game and stops and displays the determined symbol combination.

  In this embodiment, the rewind effect is configured to be executable. The rewind effect is an effect in which the contents of the effect of the fluctuation cycle executed before the rewind effect are reproduced in reverse order from the last to the beginning (so-called rewind reproduction). Further, the variation cycle in the present embodiment is set to one time from the start of the variation display of the decorative symbol to the stop display of the decorative symbol on the effect display device 13. In other words, the variation game with the rewind effect is configured such that the variation cycle for starting the variation display of the decorative symbols is executed a plurality of times (in this embodiment, twice) during one variation game. Further, after the first fluctuation cycle is completed, the rewind effect is executed until the next fluctuation cycle starts. In addition, during a variation game involving a rewind effect, each variation cycle is configured to execute a jackpot notice indicating a hit expectation degree indicating the possibility of a big hit of the variation game and a presentation content. There are various types of jackpot notices, and in this embodiment, notice images YG (characters, character images, etc.) corresponding to the degree of expectation of winning and the contents of the effects are displayed.

Hereinafter, a variable game with a rewind effect will be described. First, control related to a variable game with a rewind effect will be described.
Among the variation patterns, there is a variation pattern that includes a rewind effect in the effect content. In the present embodiment, there is a variation pattern that includes at least one rewind effect in the production content in each variation pattern of the big hit variation pattern, the outlier reach variation pattern, and the outbreak variation pattern.

  Then, when the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern including these rewind effects in the effect content in the special symbol start process, a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern is output. When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a executes a game effect related to the change game based on the change pattern including the rewind effect in the effect contents. Thereby, after the first fluctuation cycle, the rewind effect is executed, and then the second change cycle is executed by the effect display device 13.

Next, based on FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, an effect mode and its action when a change game is executed will be described in detail based on a change pattern including a rewind effect in the effect contents.
The effect control CPU 31a executes the first fluctuation cycle based on the fluctuation pattern including the rewind effect in the contents of the effect. As a result, the effect display device 13 starts the variable display of the three rows of decorative symbols, and sequentially stops and displays the three rows of decorative symbols. At that time, the symbol combination dedicated to the end of the first fluctuation cycle determined by the effect control CPU 31a is stopped and displayed. The symbol combination dedicated to the end of the first fluctuation cycle is a symbol combination without reach and a predetermined symbol combination (for example, [123] “456”). At the end of the first fluctuation cycle, the fluctuation game continues and the special symbol is also displayed in a variable manner.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute a display effect related to the first variation cycle such as causing a predetermined character CA to appear and operate based on the variation pattern during the first variation cycle. Yes.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, the effect control CPU 31a executes a display effect in which the character CA runs from the start of the first fluctuation cycle to the time when 3 seconds have elapsed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the effect control CPU 31a executes a display effect in which the character CA performs an action of jumping from the elapse of 3 seconds to the elapse of 5 seconds after the start of the first fluctuation cycle. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the effect control CPU 31a performs a display effect in which the character CA climbs up the wall from the elapse of 5 seconds to the elapse of 7.2 seconds after the start of the first fluctuation cycle. Is executed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4D, the effect control CPU 31a performs an action in which the character CA falls off the wall from the time when 7.2 seconds have elapsed to the time when 8.5 seconds have elapsed since the start of the first fluctuation cycle. The display effect is executed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the first fluctuation cycle, the decorative pattern in the first column (left column) is stopped and displayed when 3 seconds have elapsed from the start of the variation (first stop). The decorative symbols in the (right column) are stopped and displayed when 5 seconds have elapsed (second stop), and the decorative symbols in the third row (middle column) are stopped and displayed when 8.5 seconds have elapsed (third stop). The first fluctuation cycle ends when 8.5 seconds have elapsed.

  Further, when the variation game is executed based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect contents, the jackpot notice is executed in each variation cycle together with the display effect related to the variation cycle. Specifically, each variation cycle is configured such that a plurality of types (three types in this embodiment) of jackpot notices can be executed, and the executable timing is determined in advance for each type of jackpot notice. Yes. That is, different jackpot notices can be executed at three different timings during each fluctuation cycle.

  However, in the first variation cycle, any of the three types of jackpot notice is configured to be executed in a production mode that cannot be recognized (or is difficult to recognize) by the player. An effect mode that is not recognizable (or difficult to recognize) is that the effect time of the jackpot notice is set to be extremely short and / or displayed in the corner of the display area of the effect display device 13 It is. The jackpot notice of the present embodiment is configured to be executed only by the effect display device 13. That is, there is no audio output or light emission effect.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the first jackpot notice is configured to be executable at the first execution timing that occurs when one second has elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display of the first fluctuation cycle. The presentation time of the first big hit announcement is 0.2 seconds, and the announcement image is displayed in the center of the left end of the display area so that the decorative symbol is displayed smaller than the character CA. There are three types of content for the first jackpot notice (type of the notice image): first high expectation effect content, first medium expectation effect content, and first low expectation effect content. In the case of a big hit, the first high expectation effect content is easily determined in the order of the first low expectation effect content <the first medium expectation effect content <the first high expectation effect content. Further, in the case of a loss, the first low expectation effect content is easily determined in the order of the first high expectation effect content <the first medium expectation effect content <the first low expectation effect content.

  Further, the second jackpot notice is configured to be executable at the second execution timing that occurs when 3 seconds have elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display of the first fluctuation cycle. The presentation time of the second big hit notice is 1 second, and the notice image is displayed in the upper right corner of the display area so that the decorative symbol is displayed smaller than the character CA. There are three types of content for the second jackpot notice (the type of the notice image): the second high expectation effect content, the second medium expectation effect content, and the second low expectation effect content. When the specified variation pattern is a big hit variation pattern or a distant reach variation pattern, the second high expectation effect content <the second medium expectation effect content <the second high expectation effect content, in the order of the second high expectation effect content. Expectation degree production contents are easily determined. On the other hand, when the specified variation pattern is a deviation variation pattern without reach, only the second low expectation effect content and the second medium expectation effect content can be determined. Is more likely to be determined than the second medium expectation effect content. For this reason, when the 2nd big hit announcement of the 2nd high expectation degree production content is performed, it can recognize in advance that the reach production is performed.

  Further, the third jackpot notice is configured to be executable at the third execution timing that occurs when 7 seconds have elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display of the first fluctuation cycle. The effect time of the third big hit announcement is 0.2 seconds, and the announcement image is displayed in the upper left corner of the display area so that the decorative symbol is displayed smaller than the character CA. There are two types of content for the third big hit announcement (the type of the notice image): the third high expectation effect content and the third low expectation effect content. When the specified variation pattern is a big hit variation pattern, it is easier to determine the high expectation effect content than in the case of the loss reach variation pattern and the loss variation pattern.

  Then, after the first variation cycle, the effect control CPU 31a causes the rewind effect to be executed based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect content. As a result, the effect display device 13 reproduces the effect contents of the first fluctuation cycle (and the jackpot notice) executed before the rewind effect in reverse order from the end to the beginning and at high speed (so-called rewind reproduction). . In the rewind effect, the effect content of the first fluctuation cycle may be reproduced in reverse from the end to the beginning, or the image is cut out every predetermined time (that is, the effect content is compressed), and in reverse order. You can just play it. At this time, the variation game is continued and the special symbol is also displayed in a variation manner. By executing the rewind effect, the player can recognize that the same or similar effect as the first variation cycle is repeated.

  After the rewind effect, the effect control CPU 31a executes the second variation cycle based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect content. As a result, the effect display device 13 starts the variable display of the three rows of decorative symbols again, and sequentially stops and displays the three rows of decorative symbols. At that time, the symbol combination of the decorative symbols to be finally stopped and displayed based on the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is stopped and displayed. At this time, as the all symbols stop command is input, the special symbols are stopped and displayed, and the variable game is also ended.

  Then, during the second variation cycle, the presentation control CPU 31a displays a display effect related to the first variation cycle such as causing a predetermined character CA to appear and operate based on the variation pattern, similarly to the first variation cycle. It is comprised so that the same display effect may be performed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, the effect control CPU 31a executes a display effect in which the character CA runs from the start of the first fluctuation cycle.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the effect control CPU 31a executes a display effect in which the character CA jumps from 4 seconds after the start of the second fluctuation cycle.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the effect control CPU 31a executes a display effect in which the character CA climbs up the wall from 7 seconds after the start of the second fluctuation cycle.

  The production contents of the second fluctuation cycle are basically the same as the production contents of the first fluctuation cycle until at least three types of jackpot notice are executed. However, at each timing when the big hit announcement is executed (that is, during the big hit announcement), a display effect related to the variation cycle may be executed in a different manner from the first variation cycle. That is, in the second variation cycle, similarly to the first variation cycle, a plurality of types (three types in this embodiment) of jackpot notices can be executed, and executed for each type of jackpot notice. Possible timings are predetermined.

  However, unlike the first variation cycle, any of the jackpot notices that can be executed in the second variation cycle is configured to be executed in an effect mode that can be recognized by the player. The recognizable effect mode is a mode in which the effect time of the jackpot notice is set to be long enough to be recognized by the player, and the notice image based on the jackpot notice is highlighted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the big hit announcement in the second fluctuation cycle is slow-played and the announcement image YG is indicated by an arrow as the decoration image SG. Is highlighted and displayed. In addition, while the jackpot notice is executed, the display effect related to the second fluctuation cycle is also slowly reproduced in accordance with the increase of the jackpot notice effect time as the effect time of the jackpot notice is increased.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5B, the first jackpot notice is executed at the first execution timing that occurs 1 second after the start of the change display of the second change cycle. . The production time of the first big hit announcement is extended to 2 seconds, and the production content is slowly reproduced. In addition, the performance time of the first big hit announcement was extended from 0.2 seconds to 2 seconds, and the second round was executed during the first big hit announcement (0.2 seconds) in the first fluctuation cycle. The display effect related to the fluctuation cycle is also extended to 2 seconds, and the effect content is slowly reproduced.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the first big hit announcement in the second fluctuation cycle, the announcement image YG in the first big hit announcement is displayed with the decoration image SG in the center of the left end of the display area. It should be noted that the content of the effect of the first jackpot notice in the second variation cycle (the type of the notice image) is determined to be the same as the content of the effect in the first variation cycle.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the second jackpot notice is executed at the second execution timing that occurs when 4 seconds elapse from the start of the fluctuation display of the second fluctuation cycle. The production time of the second jackpot notice is extended to 2 seconds, and the contents of the production are played slowly. In addition, as the presentation time of the second big hit notice is extended from 1 second to 2 seconds, the second big hit notice is executed during the second big hit notice (1 second) in the first fluctuation cycle. The display effect is also extended to 2 seconds, and the content of the effect is played slowly.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, in the second big hit announcement in the second fluctuation cycle, the announcement image YG in the second big hit announcement is displayed with the decoration image SG in the upper right corner of the display area. Note that the content of the second big hit announcement in the second variation cycle (the type of the announcement image) is determined to be the same as the content of the effect in the first variation cycle.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the third jackpot notice is executed at the third execution timing that occurs when 9 seconds have elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display of the second fluctuation cycle. The performance time of the third big hit announcement is extended to 2 seconds, and the content of the performance is played slowly. In addition, the performance time of the third big hit announcement was extended from 0.2 seconds to 2 seconds, and the second round was executed during the third big hit announcement (0.2 seconds) in the first fluctuation cycle. The display effect related to the fluctuation cycle is also extended to 2 seconds, and the effect content is slowly reproduced.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, in the third big hit announcement in the second fluctuation cycle, the announcement image YG in the third big hit announcement is displayed with the decoration image SG in the lower right corner of the display area. Note that the content of the third big hit announcement in the second variation cycle (the type of the announcement image) is determined to be the same as the content of the effect in the first variation cycle.

  In the second variation cycle, the decorative design in the first row (left column) is stopped when 4 seconds have elapsed (first stop), and the decorative design in the second row (right column) is displayed when 7 seconds have elapsed. The stop is displayed (second stop). That is, the decorative design is stopped and displayed at different times by the amount that the display effect related to the fluctuation cycle is extended by slow reproduction. In addition, the type of decorative pattern to be stopped and displayed at that time is determined based on the combination of decorative symbols to be finally stopped and displayed.

  When the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect content is a deviation variation pattern, the display effect for the deviation effect, specifically, the character CA is 1 after the end of the third notice effect. Similar to the first fluctuation cycle, the display effect is performed to perform the action of falling from the wall. Then, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a finally stops and displays the off-symbol combination and ends the variable game.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern including the rewind effect is the jackpot variation pattern or the unreachable variation pattern, the third row of decorative symbols is stopped and displayed when 11 seconds have elapsed after the end of the third notice effect. Instead, continue to display the change as it is, and execute the reach effect. Thereafter, the reach effect is executed based on the designated big hit variation pattern or the outlier reach variation pattern, and the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the CPU 31a for effect control repeatedly executes a game effect related to the (first) fluctuation cycle, that is, when the game effect related to the second fluctuation cycle is executed, the first time A jackpot notice (notice effect) indicating the degree of expectation of hits already executed in the fluctuation cycle is emphasized and executed. This makes it easier to recognize the jackpot notice that was hard to notice in the first fluctuation cycle performed before, and even if the same game effect was repeated, the one that was repeatedly executed (the second fluctuation cycle) ), However, it is easier to recognize the degree of expectation of winning and it is easier to improve the fun of gaming. Further, in the first fluctuation cycle, it is possible to notice an effect that was not noticed, and to surprise the player.

  (2) The effect control CPU 31a emphasizes by slow-playing the jackpot notice that has already been executed. By performing slow playback, a portion different from the previous fluctuation cycle is emphasized, and the player can easily notice.

  (3) The effect control CPU 31a executes a rewind effect that reversely reproduces the game effect related to the already performed change cycle (first change cycle) before the change cycle is repeatedly executed. Thereby, it can be impressed that the same or similar game effect is repeatedly executed. This makes it easier for the player to compare the second variation cycle that is repeatedly executed with the first variation cycle that was performed previously. Therefore, if the big hit notice is emphasized in the second variation cycle that is repeatedly executed, it becomes easier for the player to notice and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (4) The effect control CPU 31a executes the effect in an effect mode in which it is difficult to recognize the jackpot notice in the change cycle (first change cycle) before it is repeatedly executed. For this reason, it is difficult to recognize the jackpot notice in the fluctuation cycle before repeated execution. Therefore, it is possible to easily recognize the jackpot notice by emphasizing the jackpot notice in the cycle of repeated execution. In the first fluctuation cycle, it is difficult to recognize the hit expectation degree, and therefore, the hit expectation degree can be noticed until the change cycle is repeated.

  (5) In the second big hit notice, it is possible to suggest the effect of the variation game (whether there is a reach effect) along with the degree of expectation of winning. Specifically, it can be suggested whether or not the reach effect is executed. Therefore, it is possible to attract the attention of a player who cares about the development of the variable game.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. The same configurations as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description and drawings thereof are omitted or simplified.

  In the present embodiment, the rewind effect is configured to be executable during the reach effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, in the variation game accompanied by the rewind effect, the reach effect is repeatedly executed (twice in the present embodiment). Further, after the first reach effect is finished, the rewind effect is executed until the reach effect starts again.

Hereinafter, a variable game with a rewind effect will be described. First, control related to a variable game with a rewind effect will be described.
When the change pattern including the rewind effect in the effect content is designated, the effect control CPU 31a executes the game effect related to the change game based on the change pattern. Thus, after reaching and displaying the symbol combination of reach from the start of the variable game, the first reach effect is executed. Then, after the rewind effect is executed, the state is returned to the state where the reach symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and the effect display device 13 is caused to execute the second reach effect.

Next, based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect content, the effect mode when the variation game is executed will be described in detail.
The effect control CPU 31a variably displays three rows of decorative symbols based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect contents, and then stops and displays the reach symbol combination to execute the first reach effect. At this time, the effect display device 13 executes a display effect related to the first reach effect such as causing a predetermined character CA to appear and operate in a state where the reach symbol combination is stopped and displayed.

  When a variation game is executed based on a variation pattern that includes a rewind effect in the content of the effect, as in the case of the first embodiment, in addition to the display effect related to the first reach effect, in each reach effect, a jackpot notice Is configured to run. However, in the first reach effect, as in the first embodiment, the jackpot notice is configured to be executed in an effect mode that is not recognizable (or difficult to be recognized) by the player.

  Then, after the end of the first reach effect, the effect control CPU 31a causes the rewind effect to be executed based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect content. Thereby, the effect display device 13 reproduces the contents of the effect of the first reach effect (and the jackpot notice) executed before the rewind effect in reverse order from the end to the beginning (so-called rewind reproduction). .

  After the rewind effect, the effect control CPU 31a returns based on the variation pattern including the rewind effect in the effect contents when the reach symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and executes the second reach effect therefrom. Then, during the second reach effect, the effect control CPU 31a displays a display effect related to the first reach effect, such as causing a predetermined character CA to appear and operate based on the variation pattern, similarly to the first reach effect. The same production is executed.

  The contents of the second reach production are the same as the contents of the first reach production except when the jackpot notice is being executed. On the other hand, during the execution of the jackpot notice, the display effect related to the reach effect is executed in an effect mode different from the first reach effect. That is, unlike the first reach production, the game is executed in a production mode in which the contents of the big hit notice can be recognized by the player. Specifically, all of the big hit announcements in the second reach production are slow-played, and the announcement image YG is highlighted with an arrow as the decoration image SG. In addition, while the jackpot notice is executed, the display effect related to the second reach effect is also slow-played as the jackpot notice effect time is increased.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(6) The player's sense of expectation can be further improved by repeating the reach effect which is more noticeable than the big hit. In addition, since the effect of low attention is not repeated until the reach symbol combination is stopped and displayed, it is easy to improve the interest of the player.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the effect of repeating the same or similar game effect is executed in the first variable game, but may be executed over a plurality of variable games. In this case, based on the random number value stored in the main control RAM 30c, the contents of the effect of the variation game are confirmed in advance, and the jackpot notice is executed in the first variation game (the variation game before being repeated) based on the effect content. There is a need to. Further, it is desirable to execute a rewind effect before repeating.

  -In the said embodiment, if the jackpot notice performed in the 1st fluctuation cycle (fluctuation game before repeating) is performed so that it may not stand out, the presentation aspect may be changed arbitrarily. For example, the presentation mode may be changed such that a large number of character images include a preview image (character image or the like) that is a target of a big hit notification, or is displayed very small.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot notice that suggests the possibility that the variable game will be a big hit is executed, but a notice effect that suggests other expectations, for example, a special state (a probable change state with a high probability of winning) Or a preliminary announcement effect that suggests a probability that a probability of entering a winning rate at which the probability of entering the starting prize opening 14 is high).

  -In the first fluctuation cycle of the above embodiment, if the size of the notice image displayed in the jackpot notice is an aspect that the player cannot recognize (or is difficult to recognize), the size is arbitrarily changed. Also good. For example, if the production time is extremely short (for example, 0.5 seconds or less), the display may be displayed large in the center of the screen.

In the first fluctuation cycle of the above embodiment, the effect time of the big hit notification may be arbitrarily changed as long as the player cannot recognize (or is difficult to recognize).
In the above embodiment, the jackpot notice is emphasized by slow reproduction, but may be emphasized by other methods or in combination with other methods. Other methods include, for example, a method of outputting and emphasizing a predetermined audio output at the time when a big hit announcement is executed, a method of emphasizing and executing a predetermined light emitting effect, or moving to the center of the screen. There is a way to emphasize the jackpot notice. In addition, there are a method of emphasizing the preview image by zooming and executing, and a method of emphasizing it by executing together with a movable effect by the movable body.

  In the above embodiment, the rewind effect is executed during one variation game, but may be executed during a big hit game. For example, when a 16R jackpot game with a specified number of rounds and an 8R jackpot game are prepared, when a 16R jackpot game is awarded, the jackpot game effect is executed once in the first 1 to 8R, After the return effect, the second jackpot game effect may be repeated after 8R. At this time, as a notice effect, an effect suggesting the possibility of a 16R jackpot game being given, or an effect state after the jackpot game (for example, the presence or absence of a probable change state, the possibility of a pending variable game being a jackpot) It is only necessary to execute an effect that suggests.

  In the above embodiment, one execution timing is determined for each type of jackpot notice, but a plurality of execution timings may be prepared for one kind of jackpot notice. Further, it may be executed at an arbitrary timing. This makes it difficult to know when to pay attention, and makes it difficult to recognize the contents of the effect of the big hit notice during the first fluctuation cycle.

  In the above embodiment, the position where the notice image appears in the jackpot notice is determined in advance, but may be arbitrarily changed. For example, you may change the position made to appear by lottery among four corners. In this way, it becomes difficult to understand where attention is paid, and it becomes difficult to recognize the contents of the effect of the big hit notice during the first fluctuation cycle.

  In the above embodiment, three kinds of jackpot notices are always executed, but there may be cases where they are not executed. That is, it is possible to create a case where it is executed and a case where it is not executed by lottery. Thus, by making it difficult to understand whether or not the jackpot notice is executed, the player is less likely to pay attention, and it is more difficult to recognize the contents of the effect of the jackpot notice during the first fluctuation cycle.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, it is desirable that the production contents are similar in the same type of jackpot notice. In other words, if the same first big hit announcement is made, it is desirable that the display mode of the announcement image is similar even if the degree of expectation is different. For example, if the high expectation effect content has a circular shape, the medium expectation effect content preferably has a hexagonal shape that resembles a circle rather than a star shape. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize which effect content was displayed in an instantaneous display.

  In the above embodiment, while the jackpot notice is slow-played, the other game effects may be slow-played in the same manner as the jackpot notice as the time for the jackpot notice becomes longer. That is, a game effect other than the jackpot notice may be executed at the same playback speed as the jackpot notice.

  In the first embodiment, the effect is repeated for each variation cycle, and in the second embodiment, the effect is repeated for each reach effect. However, the unit of the repeated effect may be arbitrarily changed. For example, you may repeat the effect until the symbol of a 1st stop display row | line | column (or 2nd stop display row | line | column) is stopped and displayed.

In the above embodiment, the rewind effect is executed before repeating the fluctuation cycle, but it is not necessary to execute it.
In the above embodiment, it is adopted in a pachinko gaming machine, but it may be realized by a pachinko slot machine (rotating drum machine, hereinafter referred to as a slot). In addition, when the player operates the start operation means (start lever), the slot starts to fluctuate with a plurality of rotating bodies (reels) in which symbols are arranged, and the slot is determined whether or not it is related to whether or not the variable game is successful. Judgment is performed. In the slot, after the reels are rotated, a symbol stop process based on the determination of success / failure is executed in response to an operation of a stop operation means (stop button) provided corresponding to each reel. Value (award medal, etc.) is given.

  Further, when employed in the slot, the effect display device 13 does not necessarily have to execute the decorative symbol variation game, and it is only necessary to perform effect display such as an effect game that suggests the result of the determination of success or failure. In addition, when employed in a slot, the notice effect may be an effect that suggests a possibility that a specific state advantageous to the player is given, a period for which it is given, or the like. The specific state in the slot means, for example, a state (so-called replay time or the like) in which a predetermined success / failure determination result (predetermined winning combination) is likely to be established, It is a state (so-called assist time, etc.) that facilitates stopping the combination.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) In the above gaming machine, the effect control means may execute a notice effect at a corner of the screen or instantaneously in an effect game before being repeatedly executed.

  (B) In the above gaming machine, in the effect game to be repeatedly executed, the effect control means may display the notice effect in an enlarged manner or be decorated with a decoration image and executed.

  (C) In the above gaming machine, in the effect game to be repeatedly executed, the effect control means may execute the notice effect together with the movable effect by the effect movable body.
