In the present embodiment, various effects displayed during the variable display of a plurality of decorative symbols are included in the effects of the decorative symbol game.

  Further, the result of the decorative symbol game is determined based on the winning of the game ball in the starting opening 24. More specifically, the result of the decorative symbol game is determined based on the result of the special symbol game jackpot determination made based on the winning of the game ball in the starting opening 24. That is, when the result of the big hit determination of the special symbol game is a big hit, the result of the decorative symbol game is a hit. Moreover, when the result of the big hit determination of the special symbol game is a loss, the result of the decorative symbol game is a loss. Thus, the result of the decorative symbol game is set to interlock with the result of the special symbol game jackpot determination.

  Further, the liquid crystal display unit 45 of the decorative symbol display device 33 is provided with a pending number display unit 46 for notifying the player of the variation pending number of the special symbol game special symbol. The hold number display unit 46 is disposed below the liquid crystal display unit 45. The number of changes in the special symbol game special symbol displayed on the number-of-retentions display 46 is subtracted according to the winning of the game ball to the starting opening 24 or according to the variation display (big hit judgment) of the special symbol. . In addition, the upper limit of the number of fluctuation reservations of the special symbol game special symbol game is set to four in total.

  In the following, the big hit game will be described in detail.

  In the big hit game, when the result of the big hit determination of the special symbol game performed based on the winning of the game ball to the starting opening 24 is the big hit, the internal game state changes from the normal game state to the big hit game state It is a game in the state where it was shifted.

  In the big hit game, the opening and closing operation of the big winning opening door 38 of the big winning device 26 is continuously performed, and continuous switching (continuous operation) between the opening state and the closing state of the big winning device 26 is performed. As a result, the player can obtain more award balls than the game in the normal gaming state.

  In the big hit game, the open state of the big winning device 26 per time is after a predetermined time (30 seconds in this embodiment) or a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment) of game balls are large. When the player wins a prize at the big prize port 37 of the prize apparatus 26, the process is ended and switched to the closed state. Then, the big winning device 26 is switched to the open state again after a predetermined time (3 seconds in the present embodiment) elapses after being switched to the closed state.

  Thus, in the big hit game, the continuous operation of the big winning device 26 is performed a predetermined number of times (in the present embodiment, a total of 16 times). In the following, the continuous operation of the big winning device 26 in the big hit game is referred to as "round game". In addition, the operation per one time of the continuous operation of the big winning device 26 in the big hit game is referred to as "round". That is, a round game is performed a total of 16 rounds.

  The jackpot gaming state is shifted from the normal gaming state by activating the condition device when the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game is a jackpot. In addition, a condition apparatus is an apparatus used as the conditions for operating a gift continuous action apparatus. Further, the bonus product operating device is a device for operating the big winning device 26 continuously.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, in addition to the above-mentioned big hit gaming state, a time saving gaming state in the special symbol game is provided as an internal gaming state regarding the special symbol game.

  The time saving game state in the special symbol game is a gaming state in which the special symbol variation time shortening function in the special symbol is activated to shift from the normal (special symbol variation time shortening function is not activated) gaming state. In this way, when the time-saving game state is entered, the variation time of the special symbol is shortened than the game in the normal game state.

  In this embodiment, when the special symbol variation time shortening function in the special symbol game is activated, the special symbol probability variation function in the special symbol is set to be activated at the same time.

  When the special symbol probability variation function in the special symbol game is activated, it becomes a probability variation gaming state, and the probability that the result of the big hit determination is determined to be a big hit is in the normal (special symbol probability variation function is not activated) gaming state There is a higher probability than the game of.

  In a pachinko gaming machine, a time saving game state in the normal symbol game is provided as an internal gaming state regarding the normal symbol game.

  The time saving game state in the normal symbol game is a game state in which the normal symbol change time shortening function is activated in the normal symbol game and the normal game transition (normal symbol change time shortening function is not activated) shifts from the gaming state. In the time-saving game state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened than the game in the normal game state. In the present embodiment, the transition to the time saving game state is determined dependent on the transition to the time saving game state in the special symbol game.

  In the present embodiment, when the normal symbol variation time shortening function is activated in the normal symbol game, the normal symbol probability variation function in the normal symbol game, the ordinary electric character opening extension function in the normal symbol game, and the special symbol game The special symbol variation time shortening function is set to operate at the same time.

  When the normal symbol probability change function is activated in the normal symbol game, the probability that the result of the normal symbol game hit determination is determined to be a hit is in the normal (normal symbol probability change function is not activated) gaming state It has a higher probability than the game.

  When the normal electric symbol open extension function is activated in the normal symbol game, the time per one time the variable winning device 25 is in the open state is in the normal (normal electric symbol open extension function is not activated) gaming state It is extended than the game of.

  As described above, when the time saving game state is established in the normal symbol game, the game state in which the game ball easily wins in the starting opening 24 is obtained. That is, when it becomes a time saving game state in the normal symbol game, it will be a game state advantageous to the player.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, when the big hit gaming state ends, the special symbol variation time shortening function in the special symbol game is set to operate. Also, when the special symbol variation time shortening function in the special symbol game is activated, the special symbol probability variation function in the special symbol game, the ordinary symbol variation time shortening function in the ordinary symbol game, and the ordinary symbol probability variation function in the ordinary symbol game, It is set such that the normal motor game release extension function in the normal symbol game is operated at the same time. In the following, a gaming state in which all these functions are simultaneously activated is referred to as a power support gaming state. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine enters the power support gaming state after the big hit gaming state ends, and the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state.

  The electric support game state is set to end all when a predetermined end condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the termination condition is satisfied when the number of determinations of the special symbol game jackpot determination reaches a predetermined number, that is, when the number of times of variation of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number. In the present embodiment, 100 times is set as the predetermined number.

  Thus, when the jackpot game is over and the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the odd change gaming state, the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol is 100 after the big hit game is over (with the result of the big hit determination not becoming a big hit). When the number of times is reached, the gaming state shifts from the probability changing gaming state to the normal gaming state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine is configured as a so-called ST machine (special time loading machine) in which the probability changing gaming state is provided. In the present embodiment, when shifting to the probability variation gaming state, the power support gaming state is established.

  In the present embodiment, when the special symbol variation time shortening function in the special symbol game is activated, the special symbol probability variation function in the special symbol game, the ordinary symbol variation time shortening function in the ordinary symbol game, and the ordinary symbol game Although it was set as the structure set so that the symbol probability change function and the normal motorized symbol opening extension function in a normal symbol game operate simultaneously, it is not limited to this composition. That is, various functions activated simultaneously with activation of the special symbol variation time shortening function in the special symbol game may be appropriately combined.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the main control circuit 100 that mainly controls the gaming operation of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.

On the other hand, when the display control CPU 301 determines that the determination signal is not received from the sub control circuit 200, the process proceeds to step S401 again.

  In step S404, the display control CPU 301 stops the effect started based on the received effect pattern. That is, the display control CPU 301 stops the display of the effect (premier effect or the like) of the decorative symbol game performed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 of the decorative symbol display device 33.

Specifically, the display control CPU 301 transmits, to the VDP 306, a signal regarding the stop of the effect (premium effect and the like) of the decorative symbol game. The VDP 306 transmits the signal transmitted from the display control CPU 301 to the decorative symbol display device 33 via the LCD circuit 309.
After performing the processing of step S404, the display control CPU 301 shifts to step S401 again.

  Next, the process of the sound control circuit 400 after receiving the effect pattern from the sub control circuit 200 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

In step S501, the sound control CPU 401 determines whether the effect pattern selected by the sub control circuit 200 has been received.
If the sound control CPU 401 determines that the effect pattern selected by the sub control circuit 200 has been received, the process proceeds to step S502.
On the other hand, when the sound control CPU 401 determines that the effect pattern selected by the sub control circuit 200 is not received, the process proceeds to step S 503.

In step S502, the sound control CPU 401 starts an effect based on the received effect pattern. That is, the sound control CPU 401 performs an audio output of an effect (for example, the first speech S1 or the second speech S2 in the premiere effect) of the decorative symbol game from the speaker 10.
After performing the process of step S502, the sound control CPU 401 proceeds to step S503.

In step S 503, the sound control CPU 401 determines whether a confirmation signal has been received from the sub control circuit 200.
If the sound control CPU 401 determines that the confirmation signal has been received from the sub control circuit 200, the process proceeds to step S504.
On the other hand, when the sound control CPU 401 determines that the determination signal is not received from the sub control circuit 200, the process proceeds to step S501 again.

In step S504, the sound control CPU 401 stops the sound output started based on the received effect pattern. That is, the sound control CPU 401 stops the audio output of the effect (for example, the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 in the premiere effect) of the decorative symbol game performed from the speaker 10.
After performing the processing of step S504, the display control CPU 301 shifts to step S501 again.

  Hereinafter, the process of selecting an effect pattern of the sub control circuit 200 will be described in detail using the flowchart of FIG.

In step S701, the sub control CPU 201 determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern received from the main control circuit 100 is the fluctuation pattern G.
If the sub control CPU 201 determines that the fluctuation pattern received from the main control circuit 100 is the fluctuation pattern G, the sub control CPU 201 proceeds to step S703.
On the other hand, when the sub control CPU 201 determines that the fluctuation pattern received from the main control circuit 100 is not the fluctuation pattern G, the sub control CPU 201 proceeds to step S702.

In step S702, the sub control CPU 201 selects an effect pattern using the first effect pattern selection table 231 among the plurality of effect pattern selection tables.
When the first effect pattern selection table 231 is used, the effect pattern G, that is, the third super reach where the premier effect is performed is not selected.
After performing the process of step S702, the sub control CPU 201 ends the process of selecting an effect pattern.

In step S703, the sub control CPU 201 is a special symbol of which the power support gaming state continues based on the number of times of variation of the special symbol received from the main control circuit 100 along with the variation pattern (after the previous big hit game is over). It is determined (calculated) how many times the remaining fluctuation number (hereinafter referred to as “the remaining ST number”) is.
If the sub control CPU 201 determines that the number of remaining STs is 90 or more and 99 or less, the process proceeds to step S704.
On the other hand, if the sub control CPU 201 determines that the number of remaining STs is not 90 or more and 99 or less, the process proceeds to step S705.

In step S704, the sub control CPU 201 selects an effect pattern using the second effect pattern selection table 232 among the plurality of effect pattern selection tables.
When the second effect pattern selection table 232 is used, the effect pattern G1, that is, per super reach 3A where the premier effect is performed is selected.
After performing the process of step S704, the sub control CPU 201 ends the process of selecting an effect pattern.

In step S705, the sub-control CPU 201 determines how many remaining ST times are based on the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol received from the main control circuit 100 along with the fluctuation pattern (after the previous big hit game is over). Determine (calculate).
If the sub control CPU 201 determines that the number of remaining STs is 10 or more and 29 or less, the process proceeds to step S706.
On the other hand, when the sub control CPU 201 determines that the number of remaining STs is not 10 times or more and 29 times or less, the process proceeds to step S 707.

In step S706, the sub control CPU 201 selects an effect pattern using the third effect pattern selection table 233 among the plurality of effect pattern selection tables.
When the third effect pattern selection table 233 is used, the effect pattern G2, that is, per super reach 3B where the premier effect is performed, is selected.
After performing the process of step S706, the sub control CPU 201 ends the process of selecting an effect pattern.

In step S 707, the sub-control CPU 201 determines how many remaining ST times are based on the number of times of variation of the special symbol received from the main control circuit 100 along with the variation pattern (after the previous big hit game is over). Determine (calculate).
If the sub control CPU 201 determines that the remaining ST number is 0 or more and 9 or less, the process proceeds to step S 708.
On the other hand, when the sub control CPU 201 determines that the number of remaining STs is not 0 or more and 9 or less, the process proceeds to step S709.

In step S 708, the sub control CPU 201 selects an effect pattern using the fourth effect pattern selection table 234 among the plurality of effect pattern selection tables.
When the fourth effect pattern selection table 234 is used, the effect pattern G3, that is, per super reach 3C where the premier effect is performed, is selected.
After performing the process of step S 708, the sub control CPU 201 ends the process of selecting an effect pattern.

In step S709, the sub control CPU 201 selects an effect pattern using the fifth effect pattern selection table 235 among the plurality of effect pattern selection tables.
When the fifth effect pattern selection table 235 is used, the effect pattern G4, that is, per super reach 2 is selected, and the per per super reach 3 where the premier effect is performed is not selected.
After performing the process of step S709, the sub control CPU 201 ends the process of selecting an effect pattern.

  As described above, in the process of selecting the rendering pattern of the sub control circuit 200, the rendering pattern is selected based on the fluctuation pattern received from the main control circuit 100 and the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol. That is, based on the variation pattern received from the main control circuit 100 and the number of variations of the special symbol, it is determined whether or not per super reach 3 where the premiere effect is to be performed is selected.

  Next, specific effects of the premium effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 28.

  Note that FIG. 23 to FIG. 25 schematically show the effect content (video) displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 of the decorative symbol display device 33. FIG. 22 is a time chart showing the relationship between the elapsed time Tn and the effect contents from the start of variation display of a plurality of decorative symbols to the stop thereof.

  Also, in the following, for convenience of explanation, the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol after the previous big hit game is over is 95 times (that is, the remaining fluctuation of the special symbol for which the power support gaming state continues is 5 times) Premier production per reach 3A shall be performed. That is, in the following description, an example in which the effect pattern G1 is selected using the second effect pattern selection table 232 is shown.

  In step S1010, as shown in FIG. 23A, first, variation display of a plurality of decorative symbols is started on the liquid crystal display unit 45. A character string (“display P1” shown in FIG. 23A) indicating the number of remaining STs is displayed in the upper right of the plurality of decorative symbols. In the present embodiment, a character string "5 more times" is displayed as the display P1. By the display of such a display P1, the number of remaining STs is notified to the player. In this way, the player can recognize that the game state shifts from the power support game state to the normal game state when the special symbol is variably displayed five times, and the game state advantageous to the player is ended. . In addition, the number in the display P1 ("5" in this embodiment) is displayed as "100" immediately after the previous big hit is over, and it is decremented by 1 each time the special symbol is displayed in a fluctuating manner (updated ) Is displayed.

  The display P1 disappears when the elapsed time T1 is reached. In addition, the variable display of the plurality of decorative symbols is continuously performed with the arrangement and the size being inconspicuous from the player until the elapsed time T6 (not shown).

  In step S1020, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the elapsed time T1 is reached, the display on the liquid crystal display unit 45 is darkened. Specifically, the display of the liquid crystal display unit 45 is instantaneously occupied by the black region. Thus, an image such as a background is not displayed instantaneously on the liquid crystal display unit 45. The display of dark change is performed until the elapsed time T4 is reached.

  In step S1030, as shown in FIG. 23C, when the elapsed time T2 is reached, an image (“display P2” shown in FIG. 23C) representing the eyes of a person (character) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 Be done. Specifically, the left and right eyes of a person (character) are displayed as the display P2 so as to face the player from the front. With such a display P2, it is possible to give the player an impression as if he / she is facing the person (character) having eyes on the left and right (though it can not be seen except for the left and right eyes). The display of the display P2 is performed until the elapsed time T4 is reached. In the following description, the character (having the left and right eyes as the display P2) giving an impression as if the player is facing the face is referred to as a "character C".

  In step S1040, as shown in FIG. 24A, when the elapsed time T3 is reached, the liquid crystal display unit 45 displays a character string (hereinafter referred to as “first speech S1”) in the character string (FIG. 24A). "Display P3" shown) is displayed, and audio output of the first speech S1 is performed from the speaker 10. Giving the player the impression that the character C is speaking (who received an impression as if he or she is facing the face at step S1030) by the display of the display P3 and the audio output of the first speech S1. Can. The display of the display P3 (character string indicating the first speech S1) and the voice output of the first speech S1 are performed until the elapsed time T4 is reached.

  In the case where display of display P3 and audio output of the first speech S1 are performed, as shown in FIG. 26, the left and right eyes of the character C displayed as the display P2 are used as audio output of the first speech S1. It is preferable to perform operations such as looking around in the left-right direction or the up-down direction (see FIGS. 26A and 26C), half-opening the eyes (see FIG. 26B), and the like. Although the character C can only see the left and right eyes in the liquid crystal display unit 45 by the display performing such an operation, the player is given the impression that the voice output of the first speech S1 is emitted from the character C. Can be given.

  In step S1050, as shown in FIG. 24B, when the elapsed time T4 is reached, the display of darkening of the liquid crystal display unit 45 is cancelled, and the image of the face of the character C (“display P4 shown in FIG. Is displayed. Specifically, the liquid crystal display unit 45 is momentarily changed from the state occupied by the black area to the bright state, and the face of the character C is in the close-up state (state approaching the player). Is displayed. For the left and right eyes displayed in the display P4, an image having the same content (size, shape, arrangement, etc.) as the left and right eyes displayed in the display P2 is used. By the display of such display P4, the player can recognize that the character displayed in the display P4 is the same character (character C) as the character displayed in the display P2. The display of the display P4 is performed until the elapsed time T5.

  In step S1060, as shown in FIG. 24C, when the elapsed time T5 is reached, the liquid crystal display unit 45 displays an image (“display P5” shown in FIG. 24C) simulating a state of explosion. . Specifically, a state in which bright light emerging from the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 45 spreads toward the end of the screen is displayed suddenly (without any foreknowledge). Such display of the display P5 can attract the player's interest to the liquid crystal display unit 45. The display of the display P5 is performed until the elapsed time T7.

  In step S1070, as shown in FIG. 25A, when the elapsed time T6 is reached, a plurality of decorative symbols are displayed side by side on the liquid crystal display unit 45, and the determination result of the big hit determination is informed to the player Be done. Here, the premiere effect is an effect performed only when the big hit judgment is a big hit. Therefore, the plurality of decorative symbols displayed in the side-by-side arrangement form a combination of symbols (in the present embodiment, “777”) indicating that the result of the decorative symbol game is a hit. The plurality of decorative symbols are displayed while moving on the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 45 side by side in a row until the elapsed time T9.

  In step S1080, as shown in FIG. 25B, when the elapsed time T7 is reached, the display P4 (video of the face of the character C) is displayed again on the liquid crystal display unit 45. It is assumed that the character C that appeared before the judgment result of the big hit judgment is notified (before the appearance of explosion is displayed) by the display of such a display P4 has appeared again after the judgment result of the big hit judgment is notified. Can give the player the impression of The display of the display P4 (in step S1080) is performed until the elapsed time T9 is reached.

  In step S1090, as shown in FIG. 25B, when the elapsed time T8 is reached, the liquid crystal display unit 45 displays a text (hereinafter referred to as "second speech S2") in a character string (FIG. 25B). While "display P6" shown) is displayed, the audio output of 2nd speech S2 from the speaker 10 is performed. By such display of the display P6 and voice output of the second speech S2, it is possible to give the player an impression as if the character C (seen again after being notified of the judgment result of the big hit judgment) is speaking. The display of the display P6 (character string indicating the second speech S2) and the audio output of the second speech S2 are performed until the elapsed time T9.

  In step S1100, as shown in FIG. 25C, when the elapsed time T9 is reached, a plurality of decorative symbols (displayed while moving on the screen in a state of being lined side by side in step S1070) are stopped and displayed. With such a display, a combination of a plurality of decorative symbols that will trigger a big hit game is finally decided, and the final combination ("777" in the present embodiment) is notified to the player. Ru. In the present embodiment, the combination of the plurality of decorative symbols in step S1070 and the combination of the plurality of decorative symbols in step S1110 are configured the same, but may be different.

  Thus, the premium effect is ended when the elapsed time T10 comes after the plurality of decoration symbols are stopped and displayed, and the big hit game is started.

  Further, as described above, in the premium effect, display and sound output of predetermined lines (first line S1 and second line S2) are performed before and after the determination result of the big hit determination is notified. The contents of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 are set according to the type of the selected effect pattern (that is, per super reach 3 as the effect content).

In the following, the relationship between the content of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 and the type of per super reach (premium effect) will be described in detail using FIG.
Note that display data (word information) regarding the contents of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 shown in FIG. 27 is stored in the display control ROM 305 of the display control circuit 300. Further, voice data (word information) regarding the contents of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 shown in FIG. 27 are stored in the sound control ROM 405 of the sound control circuit 400.

  In the present embodiment, three types of super reach 3 are provided (per super reach 3A, super reach 3B and super reach 3C). FIG. 27 shows the contents of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 set for each type of 3 super reach.

  In Super Reach 3A, the content of the first line S1 is "ST is ... ... if it hits too soon, how can you lose a little ... do you feel in luxury?", Of the second line S2 The contents are set as "After all times, you are happy with the big hit!" In the following description, the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 per super reach 3A will be referred to as "first speech S1a" and "second speech S2a", respectively.

  In Super Reach 3B, the contents of the first line S1 are "Are you staring at the number of remaining times so much ... Do you think it's going to be cold?" And the contents of the second line S2 were "Good It's not over yet! "Is set. In the following description, the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 per super reach 3A will be referred to as "first speech S1 b" and "second speech S2 b", respectively.

  In Super Reach 3C, the content of the first line S1 is "A-... ... End ... ..., do not give up? Let's believe without giving up to the end!" And the second line S2 The content is set as "I'm glad I didn't give up!" In the following description, the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 per super reach 3A are referred to as "first speech S1c" and "second speech S2c", respectively.

In the following, with reference to FIG. 28, an effect exhibited from the display of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 and the sound output will be described.
FIG. 28 is a diagram showing the number of remaining STs and the expected player's mental state. Here, in the count change probability game state, when the number of times of variation of the special symbol reaches 100 times, it moves to the normal game state, the remaining judgment of the big hit judgment in the probability game state as the remaining ST frequency decreases Fewer times. That is, in order to give the player the impression that the chance of becoming a big hit decreases as the remaining ST number decreases, it is expected that the player's mental state gradually changes according to the remaining ST number. . In the present embodiment, the mental states of the player expected to be described later are three states: a state with a margin (a state of margin), a state of a heart (a state of burns), and a state of giving up (a state of giving up) Divided into two states.

  The super reach 3A is performed when the selected rendering pattern is the rendering pattern G1. Further, the effect pattern G1 is selected when the number of remaining STs is 90 to 99. That is, per super reach 3A, it is performed when the number of remaining STs is 90 to 99. Here, the mental state of the player expected when the remaining ST number is 90 to 99 is considered to be a state having a margin (a margin state) since the number of remaining STs is still large.

  In such a spare state, the contents of the first speech S1a in the case of per super reach 3A include a phrase representing the mental state of the player who is in the spare state before the determination result of the big hit determination is notified. A phrase that evokes a sense of expectation for a big hit game is included. Therefore, when the display and the voice output of the first speech S1a are performed in the case of per super reach 3A, it is possible to make the player illusion as if the character C had guessed his own mental state.

  Further, in the spare state, the contents of the second speech S2a per super reach 3A are notified of the determination result of the big hit determination, and are in the spare state (and the character C is determined by the first speech S1a). The phrase includes a phrase representing the player's mental state in an illusion state when he / she has confessed his mental state, and a phrase representing that the expectation for the jackpot game has been achieved. Therefore, when the second speech S2a is displayed and output in the case of the super reach 3A, it is possible to make the player illusion as if the character C had guessed his or her mental state.

  The super reach 3B is performed when the selected rendering pattern is the rendering pattern G2. Further, the effect pattern G2 is selected when the remaining ST number is 10 to 29. That is, per super reach 3B, it is performed when the number of remaining STs is 10 to 29. Here, the mental state of the player expected when the remaining ST number of times is 10 to 29 seems to be in a state of burntness (impressed state) because the number of remaining ST numbers decreases.

  In such a state of intimacy, the contents of the first speech S1b in the case of per super reach 3B include a phrase representing the state of mind of the player who is in the state of intimacy before the determination result of the big hit determination is notified. A phrase that evokes a sense of expectation for a big hit game is included. Therefore, when the display and the voice output of the first speech S1b are performed in the case of per super reach 3B, it is possible to make the player illusion as if the character C had guessed his own mental state.

  In addition, after the notification of the determination result of the big hit determination is notified to the contents of the second speech S2b in the case of per-super reach 3B in the non-performing state, and the character C is The phrase includes a phrase representing the player's mental state in an illusion state when he / she has confessed his mental state, and a phrase representing that the expectation for the jackpot game has been achieved. Therefore, when the second speech S2b is displayed and output in the case of super reach 3B, it is possible to make the player illusion as if the character C had guessed his or her mental state.

  The super reach 3C is performed when the selected rendering pattern is the rendering pattern G3. In addition, the effect pattern G3 is selected when the number of remaining STs is 0 to 9. That is, per super reach 3C, it is performed when the number of remaining STs is 0 to 9 times. Here, the player's mental state expected when the remaining ST number of times is 0 to 9 is considered to be a state of giving up (a state of giving up) since the number of remaining ST's has almost disappeared.

  In such a state of resignation, the contents of the first speech S1c in the case of per super reach 3C include a phrase representing the state of mind of the player who is in the state of resignation before the determination result of the big hit determination is notified. A phrase that evokes a sense of expectation for a big hit game is included. Therefore, when the display and the voice output of the first speech S1c are performed in the case of per super reach 3C, it is possible to make the player illusion as if the character C had guessed his own mental state.

  In addition, after the judgment result of the big hit judgment is informed to the contents of the second speech S2c in the case of per super reach 3C in the retiring state, it is the said retiring state and (the character C by the first speech S1c The phrase includes a phrase representing the player's mental state in an illusion state when he / she has confessed his mental state, and a phrase representing that the expectation for the jackpot game has been achieved. Therefore, when the second speech S2c is displayed and output in the case of per super reach 3C, it is possible to make the player illusion as if the character C had guessed his or her mental state.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to one embodiment of the present invention is a variable capable of switching between the ball entry start port (start port 24), the ball entry possible open state, and the ball entry impossible state. When the judgment result of the big hit judging means (main control circuit 100) and the big hit judging means for judging whether it is a big hit or not when entering the ball entrance (big winning hole 37) and the starting port is a big hit It is possible to set a big hit game means (main control circuit 100) to open the variable entry port, a normal gaming state, and a specific gaming state (probable changing gaming state) advantageous to the player compared to the normal gaming state. When the predetermined condition is satisfied (when the big hit game is over), the specific gaming state is started, and when the specific gaming state is started, the number of judgments of the big hit judging means is predetermined. Until the number of times (100 times) is reached It is provided with gaming state setting means (main control circuit 100) for continuing specific gaming state, and effect control means (sub control circuit 200, display control circuit 300, sound control circuit 400) for controlling the effects in the specific gaming state. The effect control means is an updating means (sub control circuit 200) for updating the remaining number of determination times in which the specific gaming state is continued according to the determination process of the big hit determination means when the specific gaming state is started. And notification means (display control circuit 300) for notifying the player of the remaining determination number based on the update result of the updating means, and a plurality of effect information stored in advance in association with the remaining determination number. And storage means (display control circuit 300 and sound control circuit 400) in which each of the plurality of pieces of effect information includes information of words representing the player's mentality according to the remaining determination number. And effect selection means (sub control circuit 200) for selecting one of the plurality of effect information stored in the storage means according to the update result, and the effect information selected by the effect selection means. An effect execution unit (display control circuit 300 and sound control circuit 400) for displaying the words and / or outputting voice is provided.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game effect by performing a novel effect which can not be realized conventionally, in the countless probability change gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the contents of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 are an embodiment of the "word representing the player's psychology" according to the present invention. The contents of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 as "words representing the player's psychology" according to the present invention can be set arbitrarily.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the expected player's mental state is divided into three states, ie, the spare state, the uneasy state, and the fancy state, but it is configured to be divided into two or four or more states. May be

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 are displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 and sound output is performed, but only sound output may be performed. Alternatively, only display may be performed. Further, one of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 and the speech is output, and the other of the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 is performed only for speech. It is also good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine has a configuration in which the probability variation gaming state is provided for the number of times, but the configuration in which the power support gaming state (time saving gaming state) is provided (ie, the special symbol probability variation function is It may be in the state of not operating.

  In the present embodiment, the first speech S1 and the second speech S2 (that is, the phrase representing the player's mental state) appear only when the result of the big hit determination is a big hit. It may be a configuration that appears when the result is lost. In addition, when the result of the big hit decision is loss, when making the phrase which indicates the mental state of the player appear, the constitution which appears according to the specified fluctuation pattern, the constitution which appears according to the predetermined lottery result etc It can be done.

  In the present embodiment, the player is notified of the remaining ST number, but the remaining ST number displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 does not match the internal remaining ST number of the pachinko gaming machine. It may be. For example, the internal ST number of the pachinko gaming machine is set to 74 times, and for the player, the first 70 times are set as the provisional ST number, and the remaining 4 times are regarded as so-called "four times of crying".
