Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and particularly relates to a notification effect.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine, a player operates a launch handle to launch a game ball owned by the player into a game area to play a game. In the game area, a first start port and an openable second start port In models with gates and openable big winning gates, a big hit lottery will be held when the game ball wins the first or second starting opening, and a big win game will be opened if the big hit lottery is won In addition, a winning lottery is performed when the game ball passes through the gate, and an auxiliary game for opening the second start port is performed when winning in the winning lottery.

  Furthermore, as a gaming state, the game is controlled in a low probability state where the winning probability of the big win lottery is low or a high probability state where the winning probability is high, and it is difficult for the game ball to win a prize at the second starting port (for example, winning the winning lottery The game is controlled in a non-short-time state (with a low probability) or a short-time state in which a game ball is likely to win a prize (for example, the winning probability of winning a lottery is high). In general, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is low and it is difficult for the game ball to win the second starting port, “low accuracy / non-short-time state”, and the winning probability of the big hit lottery is high and the game ball is likely to win the second starting port “high” Any one of a plurality of game states including “probable / short time state” is alternatively set, and the game is controlled in the game state.

  When the jackpot lottery is performed, the special symbol is variably displayed, and thereafter, the symbol indicating the result of the jackpot lottery is stopped and displayed. The determined jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, based on the type of the jackpot symbol displayed in a stopped state, any one of a plurality of jackpot games having different degrees of advantage is performed, and a game state set after the jackpot game is ended is determined.

  By the way, after winning the big hit game, “high accuracy / short time state” is set. The player can play a game with the expectation that the number of consecutive channels will increase when the “high accuracy / short time state” is set.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine described above, when the special symbol is variably displayed based on the result of the jackpot lottery, the symbol variation effect suggesting the degree of expectation of the jackpot winning in the jackpot lottery, When the game is being performed, the jackpot game effect that boosts the jackpot game is mainly displayed on the image display for the effect, and the game performance and the game entertainment are enhanced by such a game effect.

  Here, in the jackpot game effect described in Patent Document 1, information on the jackpot game being performed (the number of changes in the special symbol from the previous jackpot game to the current jackpot game, the game set after the end of this jackpot game) Status etc.) is converted into text and displayed on the image display. In addition, the applicant of the present application may recognize a jackpot history corresponding to one or a plurality of jackpot games that became consecutive when the jackpot game is being played, or when the game is controlled in a “high accuracy / short time state”. A pachinko game machine that displays symbols and notifies the number of consecutive channels is put into practical use.

  The first special figure display 19a displays the first special symbol in a variable manner, the first special figure holding lamp 19d displays the first special figure holding number, and the first special figure holding number is less than four. In this case, 1 is added each time a game ball wins the first starting port 10. The second special figure display 19b displays the second special symbol in a variable manner, the second special figure holding lamp 19e displays the second special figure holding number, and the second special figure holding number is less than four. In this case, 1 is added each time a game ball wins the second starting port 11a.

  When the first and second special symbols are in the variable stop state and the number of the first special symbol hold is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted and the first special symbol starts to fluctuate, and the result of the big hit lottery is displayed in the subsequent stop symbols Alternatively, when the second special figure holding number is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted and the second special symbol is started to fluctuate, and the result of the big win lottery is displayed in the subsequent stop symbol.

  The normal symbol display 19c displays a normal symbol in a variable manner, and the general diagram holding lamp 19f displays the number of general symbols held. When the number of reserved general symbols is less than 4, the game ball wins the gate 12. 1 is added every time. When the normal symbol is in a variable stop state and the number of held general symbols is 1 or more, the number of held general symbols is decremented by 1, the normal symbol starts to fluctuate, and the result of winning lottery is displayed in the subsequent stopped symbols.

  The right-handed lamp 19g is advantageous when a special game is being played and when a "high-precision / time-short state" or "low-precision / time-short state" described later is set, that is, "right-handed". Turns off at times, and turns off at other times (when the “low accuracy / non-time reduction state” described later is set), that is, when “right-handed” is disadvantageous.

Next, a control system of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the control device 20 includes a game control board 21, a payout control board 22, an effect control board 23, an image control board 24, and a lamp control board 25. These control boards 21 to 25 have a CPU and a ROM, respectively. The presentation control board 23 further includes an RTC (“RTC” means a real time clock).

In response to the control information from the substrate 21, the second start opening SOL11d, the first and second big winning openings SOL13d, 14d, the distribution SOL14j, the symbol indicators 19a-19c, the symbol holding lamps 19d-19f, and the right-handed lamp 19g And control information (command) is output to the payout control board 22 and the effect control board 23.

  The computer of the payout control board 22 receives the control information from the game control board 21 and the signals from the payout ball detection SW 26b, the ball presence detection SW 26c, and the full tank detection SW 26d, and controls the payout motor 26a to the game control board 21. Output control information. The computer of the effect control board 23 receives the control information from the game control board 21, the image control board 24, the lamp control board 25, and the signal from the effect operation device 6 (SW6a, 6b, 6c), and receives the image control board 24, Control information is output to the lamp control board 25.

  The computer of the image control board 24 receives the control information from the effect control board 23, controls the effect image display device 17 and the speaker 27, and outputs the control information to the effect control board 23. The computer of the lamp control board 25 receives control information from the effect control board 23 and a signal from the movable accessory device 18 (origin SW), and produces a frame lamp 28a for effect, a panel lamp 28b, and a movable accessory device 18 ( The electric motor is controlled, and control information is output to the effect control board 23.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each means 30-37, 40-47, 50 of illustration is comprised mainly by the computer (main control part) of the game control board 21. As shown in FIG. The special figure counter means 30 sequentially updates the jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value every minute time within the set range.

  The special figure acquisition means 31 is a jackpot updated by the special figure counter means 30 when the special figure starting condition is established when the game ball wins the first starting port 10 when the first special figure holding number is less than 4. The determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information, and when the second special figure holding number is less than 4, the game ball is in the second start port 11a. When winning a prize, a special figure starting condition is established, and the jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value updated by the special figure counter means 30 are acquired as a set of second special figure determination information. .

  The special figure holding storage means 32 obtains up to four pieces of first and second special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31 and not used for the determination by the big hit determination means 34a of the special figure determination means 34, that is, the special figure determination means 34. A total of eight (predetermined) figure determination information is stored (held), and the number of first special figure determination information stored in the special figure storage means 32 becomes the first special figure hold number, and the special figure hold memory is stored. The number of second special figure determination information stored in the means 32 becomes the second special figure hold number.

  Specifically, the special figure holding storage means 32 includes a first storage means 32a for storing the first special figure determination information and a second storage means 32b for storing the second special figure determination information. The means 32a is provided with four first storage units 1 to 4 so that a maximum of four pieces of first special figure determination information can be stored, and the second storage means 32b has a maximum of four pieces of second special figure determination information. Four second storage units 1 to 4 are provided so as to be capable of storing them (see FIGS. 7 to 10).

  The special figure reservation storage means 33 uses the special figure determination information stored in the special figure reservation storage means 32 for the determination by the big hit determination means 34a one by one every time the variation of the special symbol is started. Erase (hold digestion) from. At this time, if a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32, the order in which the plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (that is, the special figure acquisition means 31). In the case where both the first and second special figure determination information are stored in the special figure holding storage means 32, the second special figure determination information is designated as the first special figure. Digest prior to decision information.

  Regarding the suspension of the special figure determination information in the special figure storage unit 32, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the first special figure determination information A1, A2, A3 is acquired in the order of A1 → A2 → A3 Are stored in the first storage units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and are stored in the second storage units 1 and 2 when the second special figure determination information B 1 and B 2 are acquired in the order of B 1 → B 2. As shown in FIG. 8 from the state shown in FIG. 7, when the first special figure determination information A4 is newly acquired, it is held in the first storage unit 4, and the second special figure determination information B3 is newly acquired. In this case, it is held in the second storage unit 3.

  Regarding digestion of the special figure determination information from the special figure holding storage means 32, for example, from the state shown in FIG. 7, the storage of the second storage unit 1, that is, the second special figure determination information B1 is digested, and accordingly, As shown in FIG. 9, the second special figure determination information B2 is shifted from the second storage unit 2 to 1 and held. Further, from the state in which the second special figure determination information B2 is digested, the storage of the first storage unit 1, that is, the first special figure determination information A1 is digested, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. Special figure determination information A2 and A3 are shifted to the first storage unit 2 → 1, 3 → 2 and held.

  In the special figure determination means 34, the big hit determination means 34a acquires the special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31 and stored in the special figure reservation storage means 32 when the special figure start condition is satisfied, more specifically, the special figure reservation digestion. Based on the special figure determination information digested by the means 33, it is determined whether or not a special game advantageous to the player is to be performed, and if it is determined that the special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 34b is in the special game. The opening patterns of the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a, 14a and the specific area 14f, that is, the degree of advantage (the number of game balls that can be obtained in the special game, “high accuracy / short time state” described later after the special game is finished) It is determined (specified) which of the plurality of special games (special games A to E described later) to be performed is different. The special games A to C correspond to the first special game, and the special games D and E correspond to the second special game that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game.

  Specifically, the jackpot determination means 34a determines whether or not to play a special game based on the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information. In this case, when the “low accuracy / non-time-short state” or “low-precision / time-short state” described later is set, the big hit judgment value is about 1/400 using the low accuracy table shown in FIG. If it matches one of the big hit specific values (3,247...), It is determined that a special game will be performed, and when the “high accuracy / short time state” described later is set, the big hit judgment value is determined using the high accuracy table. It is determined that a special game will be performed if it matches any one of the big hit specific values (3, 7,...) At a ratio of about 1/68.

  When the symbol determination means 34b determines that a special game is to be performed by the jackpot determination means 34a, a plurality of jackpot symbols (the jackpot symbols A to E shown in FIG. 12) are based on the symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information. If any one is selected and it is determined that the special game is not performed, the lost symbol is selected. When the special symbol determination information is the first special symbol determination information, the symbol selection is performed at the selection rate specified by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. 12, and the second special symbol determination information is selected. The symbols are selected at the selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG. 12, and depending on the type of jackpot symbol selected here, the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a and An opening pattern of the specific area 14f is determined.

  The special figure display control means 35 is triggered by the fact that the special figure reservation digesting means 33 has digested the first special figure determination information based on the determination results by the big hit determination means 34a and the symbol determination means 34b. After the first special symbol is variably displayed on the display 19a, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed, and the second special symbol determination information is digested by the special symbol reservation digesting means 33. After the second special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display 19b, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed.

  If it is determined that a special game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 34a as this determination symbol, any of the big hit symbols A to E selected by the symbol determination means 34b is stopped and it is determined that no special game is to be performed. The stop symbol is displayed.

  When the special game executing means 36 determines that the special game is executed by the big hit determining means 34a, the special symbol display control means 35 stops the determination symbol indicating the determination result (the big hit symbol selected by the symbol determining means 34b). After being displayed, a special game advantageous to the player who opens the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a and the specific area 14f is performed with an opening pattern according to the determination symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the special game, the opening is first performed, then the round game is performed, and finally the ending is performed. In the round game, 4R long-term release + 12R short-term release (see FIG. 14 (1)). 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening (see FIG. 14 (2)), first 16R long-term opening (see FIG. 13 (3)), or second 16R long-term opening (see FIG. 13 (4)) In the pattern, the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a are opened ("R" means round). Each of these opening patterns selectively opens and closes the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a over 16 rounds, that is, performs 16 opening games.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (1), a special game A of 4R long-term release + 12R short-term release is performed by stopping the jackpot symbol A. In this special game A round game, each round of 1R to 4R (long-term release) When 30 seconds elapses after the first grand prize opening 13a is opened or 10 game balls are won in the first major prize opening 13a, the first grand prize opening 13a is closed and the process ends. In each round of 15R (short-term opening), the first grand prize opening 13a is started when 0.1 second elapses after the first big prize opening 13a is opened or 10 game balls are won in the first big prize opening 13a. The 5R and 16R rounds (short-term opening) start after opening the second grand prize opening 14a, or 0.1 second elapses or 10 game balls in the second big prize opening 14a. When winning a prize, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends. .

  As shown in FIG. 14 (2), the special game B or C of 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release is performed by stopping the big hit symbol B or C, and in the round game of this special game B or C, the second game of the 5R The opening pattern of the special winning opening 14a is different from the special game A of FIG. 14 (1), and the other round opening patterns are the same as the special game A. In the 5th R (long-term opening), when the second grand prize opening 14a is opened and 30 seconds have passed after the start or when 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, for example, the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Shut down and exit.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (3), the special game D of the first 16R long-term release is performed by stopping the big hit symbol D, and as shown in FIG. 14 (4), the second 16R is executed by stopping the big hit symbol E. A special game E is held for a long period of time. In the round games of these special games D and E, each round of 1R to 4R and 6R to 15R (long-term opening) starts after opening the first grand prize opening 13a. When 30 seconds have passed or 10 game balls have been won in the first grand prize opening 13a, for example, the first big prize opening 13a is closed and the round ends (long-term release) in the 5R and 16R rounds. After 30 seconds have elapsed after opening the mouth 14a, or when 10 game balls are won in the second grand prize opening 14a, for example, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  The special games D and E differ in the opening pattern of the 6R-th first big prize opening 13a. That is, in the 6th R of the special game D in FIG. 14 (3), the first big prize opening 13a is opened for 0.1 seconds and then closed for a short time, and then opened several times (for example, 10 times) at intervals of 2 seconds. On the other hand, in the 6th R of the special game E in FIG. 14 (4), the first big prize opening 13a is completely opened from the beginning like the opening patterns of the first big prize opening 13a in other rounds.

  In round games of all special games A to E, the round interval time from the end of each round to the start of the next round (the first and second big prize opening 13a, 14a are closed) is set to 2 seconds. ing. This round interval time is set so that a game ball that has won a prize (especially at the end of the round) in any of the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a that are open in each round will not win in the next round. By the time the next round starts, the time can be surely detected by either the first or second big prize opening SW13c, 14c.

  By performing “Right-handed” when a special game is being performed, in the special game A of 4R long-term release + 12R short-term release, for example, about 500 game balls (out) can be obtained, and the first 5R long-term Open + 1 1R short-term special games B and C can get about 625 game balls, for example, and the first and second 16R long-term special games D and E can get about 2000 game balls, for example. it can.

  Here, in 6R to 15R of special games B and C in FIG. 14 (2), the first big prize opening 13a that performs the short-time opening that opens and closes the first big prize opening 13a for 0.1 seconds 10 times at intervals of 2 seconds. In the 6R of the special game D in FIG. 14 (3), the first winning opening 13a is opened 10 times at intervals of 2 seconds for the first time to open for 0.1 seconds until it is fully opened. Since the opening pattern of the grand prize winning opening 13a is the same, if 10 short-term opening of the first big winning opening 13a is performed from the start of the 6th R, until the 10 short-term opening ends, It is difficult to distinguish which of the special games B, C, and D is being performed.

  Further, the special game executing means 36 operates the sorting device 14h to open the specific area 14f as the second big prize opening 14a is opened at the 5R and 16R. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 (1), in the short-term opening of the 5R / 16th second big prize opening 14a, the specific area 14f is opened one second after the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Then, the specific area 14f is closed one second after the opening, and as shown in FIG. 15 (2), when the 5R / 16th second large winning opening 14a is opened for a long time, the second large winning opening 14a One second after the opening, the specific area 14f is opened, and the specific area 14f is closed together with the closing of the second big prize opening 14a.

  In the special game A, the second big prize opening 14a of the 5R and 16R is opened for a short time, and the specific area 14f is opened after the second big prize opening 14a is closed. The possibility of winning the winning opening 14a and passing through the specific area 14f is extremely low. On the other hand, in special games B and C, the 5R second big prize opening 14a is open for a long time, and in special games D and E, the 5R and 16R second big prize holes 14a are long open. And, since the specific area 14f is opened for a relatively long time during the opening of the second big prize opening 14a, the possibility that the game ball wins the second big prize opening 14a and passes through the specific area 14f becomes extremely high. .

  The probability setting means 37 uses a low probability (about 1/400) or a low probability table shown in FIG. 11 for the jackpot probability determined to perform the special game by the jackpot determination means 34a, according to the gaming state. A high probability (about 1/68) higher than the low probability is set using the high accuracy table shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, the normal counter 40 sequentially updates the hit determination value every minute time within the set range. When the number of pending drawings is less than 4 and the game ball passes through the gate 12, the usual figure acquisition means 41 establishes the usual figure starting condition, and the universal figure counter means 40 updates the hit determination value. Obtained as judgment information. The universal map storage means 42 can store (hold) up to four universal map determination information that is acquired by the universal map acquisition means 41 and not subjected to determination by the universal map determination means 44. The number of the general map determination information stored in the number becomes the general map hold number.

  The universal figure reservation means 43 uses the universal figure determination information stored in the universal figure reservation storage means 42 for the determination by the universal figure determination means 44 one by one every time the normal symbol variation starts. Erasing from 42 (hold digestion). At this time, when a plurality of common map determination information is stored in the general map hold storage means 42, the order in which the plurality of common map determination information is stored in the general map hold storage means 42 (that is, the general map acquisition means 41). Digest in the order obtained).

  The universal map determination means 44 is the universal map determination information acquired by the general map acquisition means 41 and stored in the general map hold storage means 42 when the general map start condition is established, and more specifically, the general map determination digestion means 43 It is determined whether or not an auxiliary game is to be performed based on the usual game determination information. Based on the determination result by the general map determination unit 44, the general map display control unit 45 changes the normal symbol on the general map display 19c when the general map determination information is digested by the general map hold digest unit 43. After the display, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. If it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be performed by the general symbol determination means 44 as this determination symbol, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and if it is determined that the auxiliary game is not to be performed, the lose symbol is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the base game determination unit 44 performs the auxiliary game, the auxiliary game execution unit 46 stops the display of the determination symbol (winning symbol) indicating the determination result by the general diagram display control unit 45, and then displays the second game. An auxiliary game for opening the start port 11a is performed. As shown in FIG. 16, the operation mode setting means 47 sets, as the second start port operation mode, a low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is hardly operated in the open state or a high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state. .

  Specifically, in the low operation mode, the hit probability determined to perform the auxiliary game by the normal figure determination means 44 is 1/10, and the normal figure change time during which the normal symbol is variably displayed by the normal figure display control means 45 is 12 times. Second, the second start port opening pattern for opening the second start port 11a during the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game execution means 46 is set to 0.1 second × 1 time, and in the high operation mode, the hit probability is 10/10. The fluctuation time is set to 0.5 seconds, and the second start opening pattern is set to 2.0 seconds x 3 times.

  The gaming state control means 50 sets a gaming state of any of a plurality of gaming states (“low probability / non-short time state”, “low probability / short time state”, “high probability / short time state” shown in FIG. 17). Control the game with the state. When the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, the “low-probability / non-time-short state” is set. The “low probability / non-short state” corresponds to the normal gaming state, and the “high probability / short time state” corresponds to the specific gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state.

  As shown in FIG. 17, a low probability is set by the probability setting means 37 in the “low accuracy / non-time short state” and “low accuracy / short time state”, and a high probability is set by the probability setting means 37 in the “high accuracy / short time state”. Probability is set. Further, in the “low accuracy / non-time short state”, the low operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 47, and in the “low accuracy / short time state” and “high accuracy / short time state”, the high operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 47. Is set.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36, the game state control means 50 sets the “low-probability / non-short-time state” during the special game. When the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, that is, when a V prize is awarded, the “high accuracy / short time state” is set after the special game ends, and then the special display 19a, 19b without any special game being performed. When the number of special symbol changes in the special symbol exceeds 110, the setting is changed from “High accuracy / short time state” to “Low accuracy / non-time short state”. Also, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f during the special game, that is, if there is no V prize, the “low-probability / short-time state” is set after the special game ends, and the special game is not performed thereafter. When the number of fluctuations in the chart exceeds 100, the setting is changed from "Low accuracy / short time state" to "Low accuracy / non-time short state".

  Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is in a “high-probability / short-time state” after the end of the special game, and when the big hit probability is set to a high probability, the number of special figure fluctuations is not realized without the big hit. The number of times (for example, 110), the number of times the transition to the “low-probability / non-time-short state” is reached, the jackpot probability is set to a low probability, and the jackpot probability is set to a high probability (for example, It is a so-called ST machine in which the probability of winning a big hit within 110 times is several tens of percent (for example, about 70 to 75%).

  In the special figure display control means 35, the variation mode determination means 35a is based on the gaming state set by the gaming state control means 50, the big hit determination means 34a, and the symbol determination means 34b at the start of the variation of the first or second special symbol. The determination result, that is, the determination symbol selected by the symbol determination means 34b, the number of special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32, that is, the special figure hold number (first and second special figure hold numbers), Based on the reach determination value and the fluctuation pattern determination value of the special figure determination information, a special figure fluctuation mode (first or second special figure fluctuation time) for variably displaying the first or second special symbol is determined.

  The special figure display control means 35 variably displays the first or second special symbol in the special figure fluctuation mode determined by the fluctuation mode determination means 35a, that is, the first or second special symbol is variably displayed. When the first or second special symbol variation time determined by the variation mode determining unit 35a elapses, a determination symbol (a jackpot symbol A to E or a lost symbol) indicating a determination result by the jackpot determination unit 34a and the symbol determination unit 34b ) Is stopped.

  Specifically, the fluctuation mode determination means 35a determines the first special figure fluctuation time based on the table shown in FIG. 19, and determines the second special figure fluctuation time based on the table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (1), regarding the first special figure variation time, it is determined that the special game is not performed in the “low-probability / non-short-time state” and the so-called reach state (1) in which the so-called reach state is not performed. Either 9 seconds, 7 seconds, 4 seconds, or 3 seconds is determined according to the number of the 1st special figure hold, and it is determined that the special game will not be performed and the reach state is not won (2) or the special game When winning is determined to be performed (reach state is set), any one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of the first special figure hold. In addition, as shown in Fig. 19 (2), in the "low accuracy / short time state" or "high accuracy / short time state", 12 seconds is determined regardless of the number of the 1st special figure hold, when not winning (1). During non-winning (2) or winning, any one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of first special figure hold.

  As shown in Fig. 20 (1), the second special figure change time is 3 seconds, regardless of the number of second special figure hold, in the case of "Less Probability / Non-Time Short State" at the time of non-winning (1). In the case of non-winning (2) or winning, any one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of second special figure hold. In addition, as shown in Fig. 20 (2), in the "low accuracy / short time state", either 12 seconds or 2.5 seconds is determined according to the number of second special figure hold when non-winning (1). At the time of winning (2) or at the time of winning, any of 13 seconds, 15 seconds, ..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of second special figure hold.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 20 (3), in the “high accuracy / short time state”, after the special game is over, until the special symbol is variably displayed four times (that is, when the special symbol variation count is less than five times). ), 2nd special figure hold number, non-winning (1) (2), 5 seconds will be decided regardless of winning. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20 (4), in the “high accuracy / short time state”, after the special game is finished, after the special symbol is variably displayed four times (that is, when the special symbol variation number is 5 times or more). ) In the case of non-winning (1), either 15 seconds or 2 seconds will be decided according to the number of second special figure hold, 5 regardless of the number of second special figure hold at the time of non-winning (2) or win One of seconds, 13 seconds, ..., 50 seconds is determined.

  In the special figure determination means 34, the prior determination means 34c is based on the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (that is, the special figure determination information that is later digested by the special figure hold digest means 33). Specifically, when the special figure determination information is acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31, the big hit determination means 34a, the symbol determination means 34b, and the variation mode determination means 35a are used for the special figure determination information acquired there. Perform processing equivalent to processing in advance. That is, it is determined in advance whether or not a special game is to be performed, and if it is determined in advance that a special game is to be performed, which of the special games A to E (first and second special games) is to be performed in advance. Judgment.

  The prior determination unit 34c basically performs preliminary determination on each acquired special figure determination information based on the gaming state at the time of acquisition, but when the special figure determination information is acquired, Based on the result of prior determination based on the special figure determination information acquired before the special figure determination information, the gaming state at the time of acquisition of the special figure determination information is different from the gaming state at the time of digestion of the special figure determination information. If it turns out, it is preferable to make a prior determination based on the gaming state at the time of digestion.

  The computer of the game control board 21 generates various commands shown in FIG. 21 according to the progress / status of the game by a command generation unit (not shown), and is generated by the command generation unit by a command transmission unit (not shown). The command is transmitted to the effect control board 23.

  The special figure hold increase command is a command including pre-determination information (determination symbol and information on the special figure fluctuation time) indicating the determination result by the pre-determination means 34c, and the special figure fluctuation start command is a jackpot determination means 34a, The V winning command is a command including the determination information (determination symbol and special symbol variation time information) indicating the processing result by the symbol determining unit 34b and the variation mode determining unit 35a. The V winning command indicates that the game ball has passed the specific area 14f. It is a command which shows.

  In the “low-probability / non-short-time state”, the player can hardly expect a winning of a game ball to the first starting port 10 even if “right-handed” is performed, and the low operating mode is set as the second starting port operating mode. Because it is set and almost no game balls can be expected to enter the second starting port 11a, the game is played while reducing the number of game balls owned by “left-handed”, and “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / In the “short-time state”, the high operation mode is set as the second start port operation mode, and “right stroke” can be expected because a relatively large number of game balls can be won at the second start port 11a. Thus, it is possible to play a game while maintaining the number of owned game balls substantially.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the effect control means 60 is comprised by the computer (effect control part) of the effect control board 23, the image control board 24, and the lamp control board 25, The effect control means 60 is the hold display control means 61, It has a symbol variation effect control means 62, a special game effect control means 63, a special game related effect control means 64, and a prior determination information storage means 65, and a predetermined effect based on a command received by a command receiving means (not shown). The means 69 (the image display device 17, the movable accessory device 18, the speaker 27, the lamps 28a and 28b) is caused to perform a game effect.

  First, the preliminary determination information storage unit 65 can store a total of eight pieces of preliminary determination information indicating the determination result by the preliminary determination unit 34c. Specifically, the advance determination information storage means 65 stores first storage means 65a for storing first advance determination information based on the first special figure determination information, and second advance determination information based on the second special figure determination information. Second storage means 65b, and the first storage means 65a is provided with four first storage sections 1 to 4 that can store a maximum of four pieces of first preliminary determination information, and the second storage means 65b. Includes four second storage units 1 to 4 that can store a maximum of four pieces of second pre-determination information (see FIG. 22).

  The special figure hold storage means 32 corresponds to the special figure determination information in the prior determination information storage means 65 in synchronization with the storage / deletion of the special figure determination information (for example, see FIGS. 7 to 10). The pre-determination information to be stored / erased is performed. FIG. 22 shows the prior determination information held in the advance determination information storage means 65 when the special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 shown in FIG.

  When the first special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32, the hold display control means 61 displays the first special figure hold number and a considerable number of first hold symbols 17a on the image display device 17. When the second special figure determination information is stored in the special figure holding storage means 32, the second special figure holding number and a considerable number of the second holding symbols 17b are displayed on the image display device 17 (FIG. 2). . In FIG. 2, on the image display device 17, two first reserved symbols 17a are displayed with a white reserved icon; ◯, and one second reserved symbol 17b is displayed with a black reserved icon; ●.

  The symbol variation effect control unit 62 is configured to display the variation of the special symbol by the special symbol display control unit 35 based on the determination (determination) result by the big hit determination unit 34a, the symbol determination unit 34b, and the variation mode determination unit 35a. FIG. 23 (1) shows a symbol variation effect according to the special symbol variation time determined by the variation mode determination unit 35a, which suggests the determination result by the jackpot determination unit 34a and the symbol determination unit 34b. A plurality of symbol variation effects (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,... N) are selected for execution.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (1), each of the symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,... N is basically classified into any one of the loss symbol variation effect, the reach lose symbol variation effect, and the winning symbol variation effect. Basically, if the special figure fluctuation time is the time corresponding to the non-winning (1) shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the lost symbol fluctuation effect is performed, and the special figure fluctuation time is shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. If it is the time corresponding to the non-winning (2), the reach lose symbol variation effect is performed, and if the special diagram variation time is the time corresponding to the winning shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the winning symbol variation effect is performed.

  In the symbol variation effect control means 62, the effect mode setting means 62a is based on the game state set by the game state control means 50 and the determination result by the prior determination means 34c ("normal" shown in FIG. 24). Effect mode "," short-time effect mode "," probability change effect mode "," first special effect mode ", and" second special effect mode ") are set, and mode effect control means 62b The symbol variation effect is performed in the effect mode set by the setting means 62a.

  The production mode setting means 62a sets the “normal production mode” or the “first special production mode” in the “low accuracy / non-time reduction state”, and sets the “time reduction production mode” in the “low accuracy / time reduction state”. In “high accuracy / short time state”, “probability effect mode” or “second special effect mode” is set. The symbol variation effect corresponding to each effect mode is a background image that becomes the background of the later described effect symbol displayed on the image display device 17 with respect to the symbol variation effect corresponding to the other effect mode, and the display mode of the effect symbol. (Design pattern, size, direction of variation, etc.)

  When the symbol variation effect is performed in the “normal effect mode” or the “first special effect mode”, it is understood that the “low accuracy / non-short-time state” is performed, and the symbol variation effect is performed in the “time reduction effect mode”. If it is, it turns out that it is “low accuracy / short time state”, and if the symbol variation effect is performed in “probability effect mode” or “second special effect mode”, “high accuracy / short time state” It turns out that it is.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25, in the symbol variation effect in the “normal effect mode”, the image display device 17 is set with three relatively large symbol display units 17c arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction. In 17c, after (1) three sets of effect symbols are variably displayed by vertical scrolling, first, (2) the left effect symbol “X” is stopped and displayed, and then (3) the right effect symbol “Y” is stopped and displayed, and finally (4) the center effect symbol “Z” is stopped and displayed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26, in the symbol variation effect in the “short-time effect mode”, three relatively small symbol display parts 17d arranged in parallel in the vertical direction are set on the right end side portion of the image display device 17, In these symbol display portions 17d, (1) after three sets of effect symbol sequences are variably displayed by horizontal scrolling, first, (2) the upper effect symbol “X” is stopped and displayed, and then (3) The lower effect symbol “Y” is stopped and displayed. Finally, (4) the center effect symbol “Z” is stopped and displayed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 27, in the symbol variation effect in the “probability variation effect mode”, three relatively small symbol display portions 17e arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction are set on the upper end portion of the image display device 17, In these symbol display portions 17e, (1) after three sets of effect symbol sequences are variably displayed by vertical scrolling, first, (2) the effect symbol “X” on the left is stopped and displayed, and then (3) The right effect symbol “Y” is stopped and displayed, and finally, (4) the center effect symbol “Z” is stopped and displayed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 28, in the symbol variation effect in the “first special effect mode”, three relatively small symbol display parts 17 f arranged side by side in the horizontal direction are provided at the lower end side portion of the image display device 17. After being set and (1) three sets of effect symbol sequences are variably displayed by vertical scrolling on these symbol display portions 17f, first, (2) the effect symbol “X” on the left side is stopped and displayed. (3) The right effect symbol “Y” is stopped and displayed, and finally (4) the center effect symbol “Z” is stopped and displayed.

  In the symbol variation effects in the “normal effect mode”, “time reduction effect mode”, “probability change effect mode”, and “first special effect mode” shown in FIGS. The stop effect symbol “XZY” which is any one of “0” to “9” and finally fluctuates and stops is a combination mode indicating the determination result by the big hit determination unit 34a and the symbol determination unit 34b. Furthermore, it becomes the combination aspect which shows the determination result by the prior determination means 34c.

  In FIG. 25 to FIG. 28, for example, in the loss symbol variation effect, (2) (3) the effect symbols “X” and “Y” are stopped so as not to be aligned and become a non-reach state, and the development effect is performed. (4) The production symbol “Z” stops changing. For example, in the reach lose pattern variation effect and the hit symbol variation effect, (2) (3) “X” “Y” is stopped to change to reach the reach state, and then the development effect is performed. At the end, (4) Reach Loss Symbol Variation Production stops the variation so that the production symbol “Z” does not align with the production symbols “X” and “Y” in which the variation is stopped. "" Changes and stops so as to be aligned with the production symbols "X" and "Y" that have stopped changing.

  As for the development effects, any one of a plurality of development effects with different jackpot expectations (expectations determined to be performed by the jackpot determination means 34a) is performed. For each development effect, the “normal performance mode” is used. The “short time effect mode”, “probability change effect mode”, and “first special effect mode” may be individual effects or common effects.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 29, in the symbol variation effect in the “second special effect mode”, nine symbol display portions 17g in a matrix of 3 × 3 matrix are set on the image display device 17, and these On the symbol display portion 17g, after (1) nine sets of effect symbol sequences are variably displayed by vertical scrolling, first, (2) the upper left and lower right effect symbols “a” and “b” are stopped and displayed. (3) The upper right and lower left effect symbols “c” and “d” are stopped and displayed, and then (4) the upper center and lower center effect symbols “e” and “f” are stopped and displayed. (5) The left center and right center effect symbols “g” and “h” are stopped and displayed. Finally, (6) the center effect symbol “i” is stopped and displayed.

  In the symbol change effect in the “second special effect mode”, for example, “a” to “i” are any one of “0” to “9”, and the stop effect symbol “a” that finally stops changing is “a”. “I” is a combination mode indicating the determination result by the big hit determination unit 34a and the symbol determination unit 34b, and in some cases, it is a combination mode indicating the determination result by the prior determination unit 34c.

  For example, in the stop effect design “ai”, in the loss design variation effect and the reach loss design variation effect, the three design symbols do not become the same in any of the eight diagonal lines shown in FIG. 29 (6). In the stop symbol variation effect, variation stop is performed so that at least one of the eight lines shown in FIG. 29 (6) is the same symbol in three effect symbols. Even if it reaches the reach state, the development effect is not performed thereafter.

  The symbol variation effect control means 62 controls the game in the “low-probability / non-short-time state” by the game state control means 50 and performs the symbol variation effect in the “normal effect mode” set by the effect mode setting means 62a. Determination result by the prior determination means 34c based on the special figure determination information (first special figure determination information) stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (first determination information stored in the preliminary determination information storage means 65). Based on the prior determination information), the setting change is made from the “normal effect mode” to the “first special effect mode” by the effect mode setting means 62a, and the symbol variation effect is performed in the “first special effect mode”. Is possible.

  Specifically, based on each pre-determination information stored in the pre-determination information storage means 65, using the first special effect mode execution determination table shown in FIG. 30, non-winning (1), non-winning (2 ) Whether or not to change to the “first special effect mode” at the selection rate shown in the drawing is determined. If it is determined to be changed, the special symbol corresponding to the pre-determined information that is subject to determination from the change (at the start) of the special symbol that precedes the change of the special symbol corresponding to the pre-determined information that is subject to the determination Until the end of the change, the setting is changed to “first special effect mode”. After that, if no special game is performed, the setting is changed from “first special effect mode” to “normal effect mode”.

  Also, the symbol variation effect control means 62 performs the special game when the special game is executed by the game state control means 50 after the special game is finished by the game state control means 50 in the “highly accurate / short time state”. Determination result by the prior determination means 34c based on the special figure determination information (second special figure determination information) stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (the second determination information stored in the preliminary determination information storage means 65). Based on the prior determination information), either “probability change effect mode” or “second special effect mode” is set by the effect mode setting means 62a, and the “probability change effect mode” and “second special effect mode” are set. Any of the symbol variation effects is performed.

  When the game is controlled in the “high accuracy / short time state”, the “probability change mode” is basically set, but first, after the special game is over, the game is played in the “high accuracy / short time state”. While being controlled, until the special symbol (second special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner four times, as described with reference to FIG. When the special symbol display control means 35 displays the special symbol fluctuation time; the special symbol is variably displayed in 5 seconds, the production mode setting means 62a sets the “second special effect mode”. The symbol variation effect can be performed in the “second special effect mode”.

  Specifically, based on the information stored in the advance determination information storage means 65, the special symbol (second special symbol) is set to 4 after the end of the special game, using the second special effect mode execution determination table shown in FIG. When the second special figure determination information determined to be a big hit is held in the special figure holding storage means 32 until the time fluctuation display is made, the second special figure determined to be a big hit, for example, at a rate of 80%. When the determination information is not held, for example, the “second special effect mode” is set at a rate of 30%, and in other cases, the “probable change effect mode” is set. If the “second special effect mode” is set, then the special symbol is displayed variably four times, and if the special game is not performed, the “second special effect mode” is set to the “probable change effect mode”. Be changed. However, in the special symbol fluctuation after the 5th special symbol variation after the 4th special symbol variation, the special symbol variation time; the special symbol is variably displayed in 5 seconds, and the second special graphic judgment information judged to be a big hit When there is a hold, the “second special effect mode” may be extended and set.

  Next, after the special game ends, the symbol variation effect control means 62 is controlled by the “high accuracy / short time state”, and after the special symbol is variably displayed four times, it is set by the effect mode setting means 62a. When the symbol variation effect is performed in the “probability variation effect mode”, as described with reference to FIG. 20 (4), the variation pattern determining means 35a causes the special diagram variation time; 5 seconds or other special diagrams. Although the variation time can be determined, the special mode variation time; on the condition that 5 seconds is determined, the production mode setting means 62a changes the setting from the “probable variation production mode” to the “second special production mode”. It is possible to cause the symbol variation effect to be performed in the “second special effect mode”.

  Specifically, after the end of the special game, based on the information stored in the pre-determined information storage means 65, the special symbol has a specific variation time of 5 seconds using the second special effect mode execution determination table shown in FIG. If it is displayed in a variable manner, the next special symbol is also the same specific variation time; if it is displayed in a variable manner at 5 seconds, the first specific variation time; the next specific variation time from the beginning of the variation of the special symbol at 5 seconds; It is determined whether or not to change to the “second special effect mode” until the special symbol fluctuation stop in 5 seconds, and the second special figure judgment information corresponding to the next special symbol fluctuation is a big hit. In this case, the setting is changed to the “second special effect mode” at a rate of 95%, for example, and when it is not a big hit, for example, at a rate of 10%. If the “second special effect mode” is set, then the special symbol will be displayed twice with a specific fluctuation time of 5 seconds and no special game will be played. The setting is changed to “probability effect mode”.

  Here, in the special game related effect control means 64, the special game history effect control means 64 a is displayed on the image display device 17 in the past when the game is controlled in the “high accuracy / short time state”. Game history: Special game history information is superimposed on the effect image of the symbol variation effect, and is basically displayed so as to be prioritized over the effect image of the symbol variation effect. This special game history information should not be changed from the special game played as a big hit from the "low probability / non-short state" to the "low probability / non-short state" unless the special game is being played. The number of special games to date; the number of consecutive special games executed, and the number of rounds in which the number of rounds in which at least a part of special games included in the number of consecutive special games is executed has been obtained ( For example, information indicating 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening is 5R, and 16R long-term opening is 16R).

  The special game history effect control means 64a updates and stores the special game history information every time a special game is performed, and stores the special game history information when the game is controlled in the “high accuracy / short time state”. Is displayed. The number of continuous special game executions includes the number of times that a special game has been performed when the game is controlled in the “high accuracy / short time state”, and the special game history effect control means 64a counts the number of continuous special game executions. The counting means is configured to perform a notification effect of notifying the number of consecutive special game executions counted by the counting means in a predetermined notification mode shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 33, in order to display special game history information, as a special game history symbol 70, a 5R special game history symbol (first special game history symbol) 70a corresponding to 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release ("5R )) And the 16R special game history symbol (second special game history symbol) 70b ("16R") corresponding to the long-term release of 16R is determined, and the special game corresponding to the special game at the end of the special game. A history symbol 70 (“5R” or “16R”) is additionally displayed on the image display device 17.

  As shown in FIG. 34, when the symbol variation effect is performed in the “probability variation effect mode”, one or a plurality of special game history symbols 70 are displayed on the image display device 17 in order from the left side to the right side. It should be noted that the image display device 17 has a right-handed display 17h for notifying “right-handed” recommended in “highly accurate / short-time state” and the number of special symbols that can continue “high-precision / short-time state” from the present time. Notification number display 17i is also performed.

  From the special game history information shown in FIG. 34 (1), the number of consecutive special games executed is 4, and 2 special games are out of the ball; about 625 5R long-term releases + 11R short-term open The other two special games will be played; it is known that about 2000 16R long-term games are open, and the order in which these four special games were played. The number of special game history symbols 70 to be displayed is, for example, 10 at the maximum, and when the number of consecutive special game executions is 11 or more, the number of special games of the number of ones in the number of consecutive special game executions is one. A history symbol 70 is displayed, and a number symbol 70c indicating the place of 10 is separately displayed (FIG. 34 (2)).

  From the special game history information shown in FIG. 34 (2), the number of consecutive special games executed is 12, and one special game is played in two special games performed on the last side; About 625 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening, another special game to be played; about 2000 16R long-term opening, and the last two special games will be held You can see the order.

  When the “second special effect mode” is set, that is, when the symbol variation effect is performed in the “second special effect mode” (see FIG. 29), the special game history information is not displayed on the image display device 17. Alternatively, it may be displayed so as to overlap the rear side of the symbol display unit 17g. Alternatively, special game history information whose format has been changed so as not to overlap with the symbol display unit 17g may be displayed (for example, only the number of consecutive special game executions is displayed with numbers or the like).

  In the special game related effect control means 64, the special game suggestion effect control means 64 b is stored in the special figure holding storage means 32 in the image display device 17 when the game is controlled in the “high accuracy / short time state”. Special game history information displayed based on the determination result (second pre-determination information stored in the pre-determination information storage unit 65) by the pre-determination means 34c based on the special figure determination information (second special figure determination information) By using a special game suggestion effect that suggests that a special game will be played (indicating the possibility of a special game being played) on the design image of the design variation effect, Display to give priority over images.

  This special game suggesting effect is an effect that expects a special game to be performed, and also a special game is continuously performed, and it is expected that the “high accuracy / short time state” will continue after the special game ends. Information that can indicate the type of special game (that is, either 5R long-term release with a different degree of advantage + 11R short-term special game or 16R long-term special game) when the special game is played. including.

  As shown in FIG. 35, in order to display a special game suggestion effect, the first special game suggestion is used as a special game suggestion pattern 71 that is related (similar) to the special game history graphic 70 or suggests the special game history graphic 70. Symbol 71a (translucent “?”), Second special game suggestion symbol 71b (translucent “!!”), third special game suggestion symbol 71c (translucent “5R”), and fourth special A game suggestion symbol 71d (translucent “16R”) is determined. Translucent “?” And “!!” are designed to expect 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening or 16R long-term opening special games, translucent “5R” is 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening special games The symbol that is expected to be played, the translucent “16R” is a symbol that expects a special game of 16R long-term opening.

  Then, the special game suggestion effect control means 64b performs the first to fourth special game suggestion symbols 71a to 71a based on the determination result by the prior determination means 34c when the symbol variation effect is performed in the "probability change effect mode". It is possible to select one of the special game suggestion symbols 71 of 71d and display the special game suggestion symbol 71 at a position where the special game history symbol 70 is displayed when the special game is performed next time. . 36 (1) shows a state where the first special game suggestion symbol 71a (translucent “?”) Is selected and displayed, and FIG. 36 (2) shows a fourth special game suggestion symbol 71d (translucent “ 16R ") shows the state of being selected and displayed.

  Specifically, for selection of the special game suggestion symbol 71, when the preliminary determination information is stored in the preliminary determination information storage means 65, the special game suggestion symbol selection table shown in FIG. , Non-winning (1), non-winning (2), 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening special game winning; winning (5R), 16R long-term opening special game winning; Select one of semi-transparent “?”, “!!”, “5R”, and “16R” to be finally displayed. In particular, select either semi-transparent “?”, “!!”, “5R”, or “16R” at a rate of 60% in total when winning (5R) and at a rate of 80% in total when winning (16R). .

  Basically, for the selected special game suggestion symbol 71, the selected special game suggestion symbol 71 is related to the pre-determination information that is the selection target of the special game suggestion symbol 71 from a predetermined timing (for example, when the special game suggestion symbol 71 is selected). It is displayed until the symbol variation effect ends.

  However, when semi-transparent “5R” is selected, first, either semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is temporarily displayed, and the semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is semi-transparent. It is possible to change the display to transparent “5R”. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 38, the change of display from translucent “?” To “5R” and the change of display from translucent “!!” to “5R” are not selected ( 1) (2), Winning (5R) will be performed at the selection rate shown.

  Also, when semi-transparent “16R” is selected, first, either of the semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is temporarily displayed, and the semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is semi-transparently displayed. It is possible to change the display to transparent “16R”. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39, the display change from semi-transparent “?” To “16R” and the change from semi-transparent “!!” to “16R” are not selected ( 1) (2), Winning (16R) will be performed at the selection rate shown.

  When changing the display from translucent “?” Or “!!” to translucent “5R”, or from translucent “?” Or “!!” to translucent “16R” In the case of changing, first, a semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is displayed, and then a reach state is reached in the symbol variation effect related to the pre-determination information that is the selection target of the special game suggestion symbol 71. As a result, the display is changed to translucent “5R” or “16R”.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 40, in the state where the translucent “?” (Or “!!”) is displayed, (1) the left effect symbol “7” is stopped and displayed on the symbol display unit 17e. Next, (2) an operation instruction 17j that prompts the operation of the effect button SW6a together with an effect that encourages (expects) that the effect symbol “7” on the right side is stopped and displayed, that is, reaches the reach state (for example, “ Is repeatedly displayed on the image display device 17.

  Therefore, when the predetermined operation of the effect button SW6a is performed or a certain period of time elapses without being performed, (3) the effect symbol “7” on the right side is stopped and displayed, and for example, the reach is displayed. The effect that the design symbol “7” affects the translucent “?” (Or “!!”) is displayed, and the translucent “?” (Or “!!”) is “16R” (or “5R”).

  On the other hand, if the predetermined operation of the effect button SW6a is performed or if a certain period of time elapses, (4) the effect symbol “8” on the right side may be stopped and displayed, and the reach state may not be reached. The semi-transparent “?” (Or “!!”) to be displayed is selected. When the reach state is not reached, the translucent “?” (Or “!!”) display may be deleted. 40 (2) to (4) will be described later in detail.

  In this way, when the special game suggestion effect control means 64b controls the game in the “highly accurate / short time state” and the predetermining means 34c determines that the special game is to be performed, the special game is performed. A special game suggestion pattern 71 (semi-transparent “?”, “!!”, “5R”, or “16R”) is displayed together with special game history information. If it is determined that a special game of opening (second special game) is to be performed, a special game suggestion pattern 71 (translucent “?”, “!!”, “16R” suggesting that a special game of 16R long-term opening will be performed. ", Particularly translucent" 16R ") is displayed together with the special game history information, it is possible to perform a notification effect that notifies the counted number of consecutive special game executions.

  Further, when the game is controlled in the “highly accurate / short time state” by the special game suggestion effect control means 64b, the special determination (first special game) of 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release is performed by the prior judgment means 34c. A special game suggestion pattern 71 that suggests that a special game will be performed with a higher probability when it is determined to perform a special game (second special game) of 16R long-term release than when it is determined to be performed. A semi-transparent “?”, “!!”, or “16R”) is displayed together with the special game history information, and a notification effect can be made to notify the counted number of consecutive special game executions ( (See FIG. 37).

  In FIG. 37, when it is determined that a special game is to be performed by the prior determination means 34c, the display is changed to translucent “5R” and “16R” with a higher probability than when it is determined not to perform the special game. Semi-transparent “?” And “!!” can be selected and displayed, but conversely, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that the special game is not performed, it is more than the case where it is determined that the special game is performed. A semi-transparent “?” And “!!” may be selected and displayed with high probability. In addition, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that a special game is to be performed, a translucent “!!” is selected and displayed with a higher probability than a translucent “?”, And it is determined that the special game is not to be performed. The semi-transparent “?” Is selected and displayed with a higher probability than the translucent “!!”. However, if it is determined that the special game is not performed, the semi-transparent “?” Has a higher probability than the translucent “?”. Translucent “!!” may be selectively displayed.

  Also, in FIG. 38, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that a special game of 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release is performed, a translucent "?" However, the ratio of the display change from semi-transparent “?” To “5R” may be increased. In FIG. 38, when it is determined by the prior determination means 34c that a special game of 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release is performed, the translucent “!!” → “ Although the ratio of the display change to “5R” is high, the ratio of the display change from translucent “!!” to “5R” may be low.

  Also, in FIG. 39, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that a special game of 16R long-term release is to be performed, a more transparent “?” → “16R” is displayed than when it is determined not to perform a special game. Although the rate of change is low, the rate of display change from semi-transparent “?” To “16R” may be increased. Further, in FIG. 39, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that the special game of 16R long-term release is performed, the translucent “!!” → “16R” is changed from the case where it is determined that the special game is not performed. Although the display change rate is high, the display change rate from semi-transparent “!!” to “16R” may be low.

  The special game effect control means 63, when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36, a special game effect that excites the special game, a plurality of special game effects (special game effects shown in FIG. 23 (2)) 1, 2, 3... N), and at the end of the special game, the ending effect following the special game effect is converted into a plurality of ending effects (ending effect 1 shown in FIG. 23 (3)). 2, 3... N).

  As shown in FIG. 23 (2), each of the plurality of special game effects is classified into one of special game A and B effects, special game C and D effects, and special game E effects. It is to be noted that the effects for special games A and B are effects performed when special games A and B are being performed, the effects for special games C and D are effects to be performed when special games C and D are being performed, The special game E effect is an effect performed when the special game E is being performed.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, in the special game A and B effects, first, (1) the opening effect is displayed on the image display device 17, and then in the case of the special game A effect, (2 ) To (5) 1R to 4R, and in the case of special game B effects, in (2) to (4) (7) (8) 1R to 5R, in the current round (for example, “1R in (2)” ") Is displayed, and a battle effect in which a friend character and an enemy character battle is displayed as a round effect.

  In the case of the special game A production, (5) in the 4R battle production, the friendly actor is defeated by the enemy actor, and then the 2nd big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time in the 5R, and the game ball is specified. Since the possibility of passing through the region 14f is very low, the game ball does not pass through the specific region 14f, and the effect during the round digestion is displayed when the short-term opening of 5R to 16R is being performed. (6) An ending effect is displayed, and this ending effect suggests that the “low probability / short time state” is set after the special game ends.

  On the other hand, in the case of the special game B production, (7) in the 4R battle production, the teammate player defeats the enemy actor and wins, and an instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f (for example, “Target V at the next R” )) Is displayed, and then the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at 5R, and it is very likely that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f. (8) The ball passes through the specific area 14f and “V” is displayed (here, the movable accessory device 18 may be further operated), and the effect during the round digestion is performed when the short-term opening of 6R to 16R is performed. Is displayed, (9) an ending effect is displayed, and this ending effect suggests that the “high-probability / short-time state” is set after the end of the special game.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, in the special game C and D effects, (1) opening effects are displayed on the image display device 17, and then (2) (3) 1R to 5R. , The current round is displayed and a round effect is displayed. (2) In the 4R round effect, an instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f (for example, “Aim for V at the next R”) Next, the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at 5R, and it is very likely that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f. (3) In the round effect of the 5R, “V” is displayed through the specific area 14f (here, the movable accessory device 18 may be further activated).

  Thereafter, in the case of the special game C effect, (8) or (9) the ending effect is displayed after the roulette effect is displayed when the short-term opening of (4) 6R to 16R is performed. On the other hand, in the case of the special game D effect, (5) (6) ... (7) 6R after the roulette effect is displayed when short-term opening is performed a plurality of times in (4) 6R. In ~ 16R, the current round is displayed, the latter half round effect is displayed, and then the (8) or (9) ending effect is displayed.

  Here, when the special game C or D is being performed by the special game execution means 36, before the special game C ends or before the predetermined period in the special game D ends (the 6R 1st big prize opening) It is suggested whether or not the advantageous state continues, that is, whether or not the special game D is being performed until the 13a is fully opened), and in the “second special effect mode” after the special game ends. A suggestion game effect that suggests whether or not a variable effect is performed is performed.

  Then, when the suggestion game effect is performed while the special game D is being performed, a continuous game effect indicating that the advantageous state continues is performed after the suggestion game effect. Further, when a suggested game effect is performed when the special game C is being performed or when the special game D is being performed, the special game is stored in the special figure storage unit 32 after the suggested game effect. A pre-determined game effect corresponding to the determination result by the pre-determining means 34c based on the special figure determination information is performed.

  Here, the suggestion game effect, the continuous game effect, and the prior determination game effect are performed by the roulette effect. That is, the suggestion game effect is performed at the start of the roulette effect, and at least one of the continuous game effect and the prior determination game effect is performed at the end of the roulette effect. Next, the roulette effect will be specifically described.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 45, in the roulette effect in the special game C, D effect, (1) “Lose”, “R promotion”, “Special zone”, “!!” are displayed side by side on the image display device 17, The cursor (▲ pointing to the left side) points to (2) “Lose”, (3) “R Promotion”, (4) “Special Zone”, (5) “!!” (6) The cursor is scrolled so that the display is sequentially repeated, and an operation instruction for the effect button SW6 (for example, “Press!”) Is displayed. This effect corresponds to the suggested game effect.

  After that, when the production button SW6 is operated, the cursor is changed to “Lose” in (2), “R promotion” in (3), “Special zone” in (4), “!!” in (5). A stop display is made to indicate either one.

  When the cursor points to “R promotion” in (3) or “!!!!” in (5), a special game D is being performed, that is, the cursor is “R promotion” in (3) or (5 ) Directing “!!!!” corresponds to the promotion game directing. If the cursor points to (4) “special zone” or (5) “!!!!”, the symbol variation effect will be performed in the “second special effect mode” after the special game ends, That is, the effect of whether or not the cursor indicates the “special zone” in (4) or “!!!!” in (5) corresponds to the pre-determined game effect.

  Here, when the 6R eye is started when the game ball passes the specific area 14f in the 5R, the information stored in the prior determination information storage means 65 and the second special in FIG. Based on the effect mode execution determination table, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation effect is to be performed in the “second special effect mode”.

  Then, in the roulette effect, as shown in FIG. 45, in the special game C effect, when it is determined that the symbol variation effect is not performed in the “second special effect mode”, the cursor indicates “losing”. When it is determined that the symbol variation effect is to be performed in the “second special effect mode”, the cursor is stopped and displayed so as to indicate the “special zone”. Further, in the special game D effect, when it is determined that the symbol variation effect is not performed in the “second special effect mode”, the cursor is stopped and displayed so as to indicate “R promotion”. When it is determined that the symbol variation effect is to be performed in the “special effect mode”, the cursor is stopped and displayed so as to indicate “!!!!”.

  As shown in FIG. 43, after the roulette effect is performed, the (8) or (9) ending effect is displayed. With this ending effect, the “high-probability / short-time state” is set after the end of the special game. When the cursor is stopped and displayed in the roulette effect in (4) so that it points to “special zone” or “!!!!”, (9) after the special game is finished, The effect that the symbol variation effect is performed in the “effect mode” (for example, “special zone entry”) is displayed.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 47 and 48, in the special game E effect, (1) the opening effect is displayed on the image display device 17, and thereafter (2) (3) (4) 1R ~ In 16R, the current round is displayed and a round effect is displayed. Therefore, although not shown in the drawing, an instruction to pass a game ball to the specific area 14f in the round effect of the fourth round (for example, “next R” ”Aim at V”) is displayed, and it is highly likely that the second grand prize opening 14a will be opened for a long time in the 5th R and the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f. “V” is displayed through the specific area 14f (here, the movable accessory device 18 may be further activated). (4) The roulette effect is displayed in the 16th round effect, and then (5) or (6) the ending effect is displayed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 49, in this roulette effect, (1) “losing” and “special zone” are displayed side by side on the image display device 17, and the cursor is (2) a display indicating “losing”. ) (4) The cursor is scroll-displayed so that the display indicating “special zone” is sequentially repeated, an operation instruction for the effect button SW6 (for example, “Press!”) Is displayed, and then the effect button SW6. When is operated, the cursor is stopped and displayed so as to point to either “Lose” in (2) or “Special zone” in (3).

  Here, when the game ball passes through the specific area 14f at the 5Rth (or 16Rth), the information stored in the prior determination information storage means 65 when the 16Rth is started, and FIG. Based on the second special effect mode execution determination table, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation effect is to be performed in the “second special effect mode”. In the roulette effect, when it is determined that the symbol variation effect is not performed in the “second special effect mode”, the cursor is stopped and displayed to indicate “losing”, and the “second special effect mode” is displayed. "Is determined to perform the symbol variation effect, the cursor is stopped and displayed so as to point to the" special zone ".

  As shown in FIG. 47, (4) after the roulette effect is displayed so that the cursor points to “losing” or “special zone”, (5) or (6) the ending effect is displayed. If the ending effect suggests that “high accuracy / short time state” is set after the end of the special game, and if the cursor is stopped and pointed to the “special zone” in the roulette effect of (4) (6) Further, after the special game ends, a message that the symbol variation effect is performed in the “second special effect mode” (for example, “special zone entry”) is displayed.

  Here, the special game related effect control means 64 (special game history effect control means 64a), when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36, the game state control means 50 after the end of the special game. When “highly accurate / short time state” is set, the image display device 17 displays a history of special games played in the past; special game history information and special game information; Overlaying the effect image, the display is basically made to give priority to the effect image of the special game effect. Special game history information and special games The information is "low-probability / non-short-time state" except for special games that were played as big hits from "low-probability / non-short-time state", except when special games are played. The number of special games including the special game up to the present without being changed to the present; information indicating the number of continuous special games executed is included.

  Furthermore, the special game history information includes the number of rounds in which a ball is substantially obtained indicating the degree of advantage of at least some special games other than the special game included in the number of consecutive special games executed (for example, 5R long-term release + 11R 5R for short-term opening and 16R for 16R long-term opening. The special game information indicates the number of rounds (16R for 16R long-term opening) in which a special game can be obtained. Information or information indicating a minimum number of rounds (5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening, 5R for 16R long-term opening) that can substantially obtain a ball is included.

  The display of the special game history symbol 70 in the special game history information is the same as the display when the symbol variation effect is performed in the “probability change effect mode”. The number of continuous special game executions includes the number of times that a special game has been performed when the game is controlled in the “high accuracy / short time state”, and the special game related effect control means 64 (special game history effect control means 64a) A counting means for counting the number of continuous special game executions is configured, and a notification effect is provided for notifying the number of continuous special game executions counted by the counting means in a predetermined notification mode shown in FIG. Make it.

  As shown in FIG. 50, in order to display the special game related information, as the special game related symbol 72, the special game related symbol 72a ("special") corresponding to 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening and 16R long-term opening, and 16R The 16R special game symbol 72b ("16R") corresponding to the long-term release is determined, and the special game symbol 72 corresponding to the special game is additionally displayed on the image display device 17 every time the special game is started. .

  As shown in FIG. 51, when a special game is being performed, one or more special game history symbols 70 are displayed on the image display device 17 in order from the left side to the right side, and the one or more special game histories are displayed. A special game related symbol 72 is displayed on the right side of the symbol 70. The image display device 17 is also provided with a right-handed display 17k for notifying “right-handed” recommended in the special game and a round display 17l of the current special game round.

  From the special game history information and the special game related information shown in FIGS. 51 (1) and 51 (2), the number of consecutive special game executions including the special game is five, and two specials other than the special game are included. The game is a ball; about 625 5R long-term open + 11R short-term open, two other special games other than the special game are balled; about 2000 16R long-term open, FIG. From the special game information shown in FIG. 51, the special game is 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release or 16R long-term release. From the special game information shown in FIG. 51 (2), the special game is 16R long-term release. There is something, and the order in which these five special games were played.

  From the special game history information and special game information shown in FIG. 51 (3), the number of consecutive special game executions including the special game is 13 times, and two times are performed on the last side other than the special game. In one special game, one special game is a ball; about 625 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening, another one special game is a ball; about 2000 16R long-term opening, It can be seen that the special game is 16R long-term opening, and the order in which the last three special games were performed.

  When the special game C or D is being performed, that is, in the special game C or D effect, as shown in FIG. 51 (1), first, the special game pattern 72a ("special") is displayed up to the 5th eye. When the special game D is displayed, the display is changed to the 16R special game symbol 72b ("16R") after the 6th R. When the special game E is being performed, that is, in the special game E effect, the 16R special game relevant symbol 72b ("16R") is displayed from the beginning. For example, in the special game C and D effects, a roulette effect is performed from the start of the 6th R, but if an effect indicating “R promotion” or “!!” is performed in the roulette effect, the special game The display is changed from the symbol 72a ("special") to the 16R special game symbol 72b ("16R").

  Here, the special game suggestion effect control means 64b is configured to display the image display device when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36 and the “highly accurate / short time state” is set after the special game ends. 17, the determination result by the prior determination means 34c based on the special figure determination information (second special figure determination information) stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (second preliminary determination information stored in the preliminary determination information storage means 65) Specifically, when the pre-determined information is stored in the pre-determined information storage means 65, the displayed special game history information and special game related information are used for the pre-determined information. The special game suggestion effect that suggests that a special game will be played (indicating the possibility of a special game being performed) is superimposed on the special game effect production image, basically more than the special game production effect image. Priority To be displayed on so that.

  This special game suggestion effect is an effect that expects a special game to be a so-called “reserved run” to be performed, and an effect that expects a “high-precision / short-time state” to continue after the special game that becomes the hold ream. When a special game is played, information that can indicate the type of the special game (that is, either 5R long-term release with a different advantage level + 11R short-term special game or 16R long-term special game) Including.

  As shown in FIG. 52, in order to display this special game suggestion effect, it is related (similar) to the special game history symbol 70 and the special game relevant symbol 72, or the special game history symbol 70 and the special game relevant symbol 72 are suggested. The first special game suggestion symbol 73a (translucent “special”) and the second special game suggestion symbol 73b (translucent “16R”) are determined as the special game suggestion symbols 73 to be performed. Translucent “special” is a pattern that expects a special game of 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening or 16R long-term opening, translucent “16R” a pattern that expects a special game of 16R long-term opening It is.

  Then, the special game suggestion effect control means 64b selects one of the first and second special game suggestion symbols 73a, 73b based on the determination result by the prior determination means 34c, and the special game suggestion symbol 73 The game suggestion symbol 73 is displayed at a position where the special game relevant symbol 72 is displayed when the special game is performed next time. 53 (1) shows a state where the first special game suggestion symbol 73a (semi-transparent “special”) is selected and displayed, and FIG. 53 (2) shows the second special game suggestion symbol 73b (semi-transparent). "16R") is selected and displayed.

  Specifically, with respect to selection of the special game suggestion symbol 73, based on the advance determination information stored in the advance determination information storage means 65 and the special game suggestion symbol selection table shown in FIG. 54, winning (5R) (16R) and If the second special figure determination information is not held (non-winning), if the second special figure determination information that is winning (5R) is held, the second special figure determination information that is winning (16R) is Separately from the case of being held, one of the translucent “special” and “16R” to be displayed at the selection rate shown in the figure is selected. In particular, when the second special figure determination information to be won (5R) is held, the ratio is 50% in total, and when the second special figure determination information to be won (16R) is held. Select a semi-transparent “special” or “16R” at a ratio of 80% in total. Note that, when the symbol variation effect is performed in the “second special effect mode” after the special game is finished, there is a high possibility that one of the semi-transparent “special” and “16R” is selected.

  Basically, the selected special game suggestion symbol 73 is displayed from a predetermined timing until the special symbol is variably displayed four times at the end of the special game. In the special game C and D effects, the roulette effect is performed from the start of the 6th R, and the special game suggestion pattern is achieved by performing the effect indicating the “special zone” or “!!!!” in the roulette effect. 73 may be displayed.

  In this way, when a special game is being played by the special game suggestion effect control means 64b, a special game is played by the pre-determination means 34c when the “high accuracy / short time state” is set after the special game is finished. If it is determined to be performed, a special game suggestion pattern 73 (either translucent “special” or “16R”) indicating that the special game is performed is displayed together with the special game history information and the special game related information. In addition, if it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that the special game with the 16R long-term release (second special game) is performed, the special game suggestion pattern 71 (semi-transparent) suggesting that the special game with the 16R long-term release is performed. "Special" or "16R", especially translucent "16R") is displayed together with special game history information and special game related information, and a notification effect is provided to notify the counted number of consecutive special games. Make It is possible.

  Further, when a special game is being played by the special game suggestion effect control means 64b, when the “high accuracy / short time state” is set after the special game is finished, the prior determination means 34c opens the 5R long-term + 11R short-term. There is a higher probability that a special game will be performed when it is determined that a special game (second special game) will be opened for a longer period of 16R than when it is determined that an open special game (first special game) will be performed. The number of consecutive special game executions counted is displayed in a mode in which a special game suggestion pattern 71 (any of “translucent“ special ”or“ 16R ”) suggesting to be performed is displayed together with the special game history information and the special game related information. It is possible to perform a notification effect for notification (see FIG. 54).

  Although not shown in the drawing, the special game suggestion symbol 73 is further changed to a semi-transparent “special” “16R” as in the special game suggestion symbol 71 displayed in “high accuracy / short time state”. One of semi-transparent “?” And “!!” that can be expected to be displayed may be selectively displayed.

  In this case, when it is determined by the prior determination means 34c that a special game is to be performed, one of semi-transparent “?” And “!!” is selected and displayed with a higher probability than when it is determined not to perform a special game. Or a semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” with higher probability than the case where it is determined that the special game is not performed by the pre-determination means 34c. May be selected and displayed. In addition, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that a special game is to be performed, a translucent “!!” may be selected and displayed with a higher probability than a translucent “?”, Or a translucent “?” The semi-transparent “!!” may be selected and displayed with a lower probability.

  In addition, when any of the translucent “?” And “!!” is selected and displayed, the translucent “special” “16R” is generated at a predetermined timing (for example, when the roulette effect is performed). In this case, when it is determined by the pre-determination means 34c that the special game of 5R long-term release + 11R long-term release is performed, it is more translucent than the case where it is determined that the special game is not performed. The rate of display change to either “special” or “16R” may be low, or the rate of display change to any of “transparent” “special” or “16R” may be high. Good.

  Next, in order to achieve the functions of the respective means 30 to 37, 40 to 47, 50, and 60 to 65 shown in FIG. 6, main processes executed by the control device 20 (game control board 21 and effect control board 23). Is described based on a flowchart.

  As shown in FIG. 55, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the game control board 21 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, random number update process (S1), switch process (S2) ), Symbol processing (S3), electric accessory processing (S4), prize ball processing (S5), and output processing (S6) are sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 56, in the start port SW process performed in the switch process of S2, when the first start port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), when the first special figure reservation number U1 is less than 4 (S12 ; Yes), the first special figure holding number U1 is added to U1 + 1 (S13), and the big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the fluctuation pattern determination value (first special figure determination information) are acquired and stored. (S14) Next, a pre-determination process (S15) is executed, and a first special figure pending number increase command is set (S16).

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

  In the predetermination process of S15 and S21, the process equivalent to S39 and S40 of the special symbol process of S3 described below is basically performed. In S16 and S22, the determination result of the predetermination process of S15 and S21 is related. A special figure pending number increase command is set which includes pre-determination information (information of symbols and special figure fluctuation time obtained as a result of the pre-determination). The commands set in S16 and S22 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 23 by the output process of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 57, in the special symbol processing performed in the symbol processing of S3, when the special game flag is OFF (S31; No), that is, when the special game is not being executed or when the special symbol is changing. (S32; Yes), the process proceeds to S43. When the special symbol is stopped (S32; No), when the second special figure reservation number U2 ≧ 1 (S33; Yes), the second special figure reservation number U2 is subtracted from U2-1 (S34). When the second special figure reservation number U2 = 0 (S33; No), and when the first special figure reservation number U1 ≧ 1 (S35; Yes), the first special figure reservation number U1 is subtracted from U1-1. (S36).

  After the execution of S34 or S36, when the customer waiting flag is ON (S37; Yes), the customer waiting flag is turned OFF (S38), the big hit determination process (S39) is executed, and subsequently the variation mode selection process ( S40) is executed. On the other hand, when the first special figure holding number U1 = 0 (S35; No), when the customer waiting flag is OFF (S47; No), the customer waiting command is set (S48), and the customer waiting flag is turned ON. (S49).

  As shown in FIG. 58, in the big hit determination process of S39, first, as described with reference to FIG. 11, the special winning ranking having the highest digestion priority among the special figure determination information stored in the special figure holding storage means 32 is shown. A jackpot determination value process (S51) for determining whether or not the jackpot determination value of the figure determination information matches the jackpot specific value is executed. As a result, when the jackpot determination value matches the jackpot specific value and is determined to be a jackpot (S52; Yes), as described with reference to FIG. 12, the jackpot is determined based on the symbol determination value of the special figure determination information. A symbol determination value process for selecting a symbol from a plurality of jackpot symbols is executed (S53), and the jackpot symbol is set (S54). As a result of the big hit determination value processing of S51, when it is not determined that the big hit (S52; No), a lost symbol is set (S55). The special figure determination information provided for the big hit determination process is deleted (digested) from the special figure holding storage means 32.

  As shown in FIG. 57, after the big hit determination process of S39, in the variation mode selection process of S40, the symbols set in S39 (S54 or S55), the reach determination value of the special figure determination information, and the variation pattern Based on the determination value and the like, as described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, the variation mode (special drawing variation time) is selected and set. After that, the first or second special symbol starts to fluctuate (S41), and the symbol set in S39 (either the big hit symbol or the lost symbol) and the special symbol fluctuation time information set in S40 (the determination information) A special figure change start command including is set (S42).

  Next, when the special symbol variation time set in S40 has elapsed since the start of the variation of the special symbol (S43; Yes), the first or second special symbol is suspended (S44), where S39 The set symbol is displayed on the first or second special figure display 19a or 19b. Subsequently, a special figure change stop command is set (S45), and a stop process (S46) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 59, in the stop process of S46, when the high-accuracy / short-time flag is ON (S61; Yes), the high-precision / short-time continuation count X is subtracted from X-1 (S62), and the continuation count If X = 0 (S63; Yes), the high-accuracy / time-short flag is turned OFF (S64). When the low accuracy / short time flag is ON (S65; Yes), the low accuracy / short time continuation number J is subtracted from J-1 (S66), and when the continuation number J = 0 (S67; Yes), the low accuracy / The time reduction flag is turned off (S68).

  Next, in the case of a big hit (S69; Yes), the special game flag is turned ON (S70), and the high accuracy / short time / low accuracy / short time duration count X / J is reset to 0 (S71). / The low probability / short time flag is turned off (S72). Then, the opening of the special game is started (S73), and an opening command is set (S74). When the high-accuracy / time-short flag is ON, the high-accuracy / time-short state is set. When the low-accuracy / time-short flag is ON, the low-accuracy / time-short state is set. When both the flags are OFF, the “low accuracy / non-time short state” is entered.

  As shown in FIG. 60, in the special prize opening process executed in the electric accessory process of S4, when the special game flag is ON (S91; Yes), it is determined whether or not the special game is being opened ( S92). If the determination in S92 is Yes and the opening time has elapsed (S93; Yes), the special winning opening opening pattern setting process (S94) is executed. Therefore, a special winning opening opening pattern is set according to the special game (type of jackpot symbol) to be performed.

  Specifically, a value corresponding to the special winning opening opening pattern to be performed in the specified round number Rc, the specified time Tc, and the specified number Nc (in the case of 4R long-term opening + 12R short-term opening, Rc = 16 (round), 1R to 4R Tc = 30 (seconds), 5R-16R Tc = 0.1 seconds, all R Nc = 10 (pieces), 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening, Rc = 16 (round), 1R-5R Tc = 30 ( Seconds), Tc of 6R to 16R = 0.1 seconds, Nc of all R = 10 (pieces), in the case of 16R long-term release, Rc = 16 (round), Tc of all R = 30 (seconds), Nc of all R = 10 (pieces)) is set.

  If the determination in S92 is No, it is determined whether or not the special game is ending (S95). If the determination in S95 is No, whether or not any of the first and second big prize winning openings 13a and 14a is operating. Determination is made (S96). If the determination in S95 is Yes, the process proceeds to S111. If the determination in S96 is No, the process proceeds to S97. If the determination in S96 is Yes, the process proceeds to S102. In S97, the number of rounds Rn is added to Rn + 1, and then a round start command is set (S98), and one of the first and second big prize openings 13a, 14a is opened and the operation is started (S99). . When the round number Rn is 1 to 4 and 6 to 15, the first big prize opening 13a is opened. When the round number Rn is 5 and 16, the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Next, the round operation time T is started (S100), and the winning number N of game balls to the big winning opening 13a is started (S101).

  Here, when the number of rounds Rn = 5, 16, the second big prize opening 14a is opened, and as described with reference to FIG. 15, the sorting device 14h is activated to open the specific area 14f. When the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is very low. When the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, the game ball is specified. The possibility of passing through the region 14f is very high.

  As shown in FIG. 61, in the V winning process of S102, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S121; No), when the round number Rn = 5 or 16 (S122; Yes), the specific area SW14g is turned on. Then (S123; Yes), 1 is set to the V winning flag VF (S124), and the V winning command is set (S125).

  As shown in FIG. 60, after the execution of the V winning process in S102, in S103, it is determined whether or not the round operation time T ≧ the specified time Tc. If the determination in S103 is No, whether or not the winning number N ≧ the specified number Nc. Is determined (S104). If the determination in S103 is Yes or the determination in S104 is Yes, either the first or second big prize opening 13a, 14a is closed and the operation is ended (S105), and the round operation time T and the winning number N are set to 0. It is reset (S106).

  Next, when the round number Rn = the prescribed round number Rc (S107; Yes), the ending of the special game is started (S108), the ending command is set (S109), and the round number Rn is reset to 0 (S110). , The process proceeds to S111. In S111, it is determined whether or not the ending time has elapsed. If the determination in S111 is Yes, a game state setting process (S112) is executed, and then the special game flag is turned OFF (S113).

  As shown in FIG. 62, in the gaming state setting process of S112, when the V winning flag VF = 1 (S131; Yes), the high accuracy / short time flag is turned ON (S132), and the high accuracy / short time continuation number X 110 is set (S133), and the V winning flag VF is reset to 0 (S134). On the other hand, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S131; No), the low-accuracy / short time flag is turned ON (S135), and 100 is set to the low-precision / short time continuation number J (S136). After execution of S134 or S136, a gaming state command corresponding to the flag set in S132 or S135 is set (S137).

  As shown in FIG. 63, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the effect control board 33 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, command reception process (S201), effect operation switch process (S202), command transmission processing (S203) is sequentially executed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 64, in the effect operation switch processing of S202, when the effect operation device 6 is operated (S205; Yes), the SW operated (the effect button SW6a and the cross key SW6b) of the effect operation device 6 is operated. And any one of the enter buttons SW6c) is set (S206). The commands set in S206 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 by the command transmission process of S203.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 65, in the command reception process of S201, when a special figure pending number increase command is received (S211; Yes), as described with reference to FIG. Predetermining information hold processing (S212) for holding (storing) the predetermination information included in the predetermination information storage means 65 is executed, followed by execution of a holding number addition processing (S213), and a holding number increase command Is set (S214).

  Next, when a special figure change start command is received (S215; Yes), as described with reference to FIG. 22, the predetermination information digestion that digests (deletes) the corresponding predetermination information from the predetermination information storage means 65. Processing (S216) is executed, subsequently, the number-of-holds subtraction processing (S217) is executed, and symbol variation effect selection processing (S218) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 66, in the symbol variation effect selection process of S218, the received special figure variation start command is analyzed (S231), the special effect mode process (S232) is executed, and the set effect mode (FIG. 24). The “normal effect mode”, “short-time effect mode”, “probability change effect mode”, “first special effect mode”, and “second special effect mode” are referred to (S232). (S234) is executed, and as described with reference to FIG. 23 (1), one of a plurality of symbol variation effects is selected based on the information analyzed in S231, and the selected symbol is selected. A design change effect start command including information on the change effect and the set effect mode is set (S235).

  As shown in FIG. 76, in the effect mode setting of S344, when the low probability / short time state is set based on the analysis information of the gaming state command (S351; Yes), the short time effect mode is set (S352). At that time, 100 is set as the number of times MJ of continuing the short rendering mode (S353).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 77, when the high accuracy / short time state is set (S361; Yes), when the second special effect mode is set (S362; Yes), the second special effect mode is set. It is set (S363), and 4 is set in the second special effect mode continuation number MS2 (S364). If the second special effect mode is not set (S363; No), the probability variation effect mode is set (S365), or after execution of S364, 110 is set as the probability variation effect mode continuation number MX (S357). .

  The computer of the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 controls the image display device 17, the speaker 27, the frame lamp 28 a, the panel lamp 28 b, and the movable accessory device 18 based on a command (command) received from the effect control board 23. By controlling, various game effects are performed mainly on display on the image display device 17.

  That is, as described above, when the special symbol is variably displayed, any one of the loss symbol variation effect, the reach lose symbol variation effect, and the winning symbol variation effect shown in FIG. 23 (1) is set as the symbol variation effect. Performance mode ("Normal effect mode", "Time reduction effect mode", "Probability change effect mode", "First special effect mode", or "Second special effect mode") according to the variation time of the special symbol. Also, it is done to suggest the expectation of jackpot.

  As described above, when a special game is being performed, the special game effects for special games A and B in FIG. 41, the special game effects for C and D in FIG. 43, and the special game E in FIG. One of the effects is performed according to the progress of the special game and according to the type of the special game. Further, in the special game C and D effects of FIG. 43, the roulette effect of FIG. In the special game E effect, the roulette effect shown in FIG. 49 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 78, in the special game information processing executed by the computer of the image control board 24, in the probability variation effect mode (S371; Yes), as described with reference to FIG. One or more special game history symbols 70 are displayed (S372). Next, when the special game suggestion symbol 71 is not displayed on the image display device 17 (S373; Yes), for example, the stored information in the prior determination information storage means 65 is referred to (S374), for example, the preliminary determination information is stored. Each time a special game suggestion symbol selection process (S375) is performed on the prior determination information.

  Therefore, as described with reference to FIG. 37, when any one of “?” And “!!” is selected (S376; Yes), any one of “?” And “!!” that are translucent on the image display device 17 is selected. Is displayed (S377). When any of “5R” and “16R” is selected (S378; Yes), when there is no effect encouraging to reach the reach by the symbol variation effect related to the pre-determination information that is the selection target (S379). No), either translucent “5R” or “16R” is displayed on the image display device 17 (S380). In the case where there is an effect that envys reaching the reach state with the symbol variation effect related to the pre-determined information that has been selected as either “5R” or “16R” (S379; Yes), FIG. 38 and FIG. 39 are used. As described above, one of “?” And “!!” is selected (S381), and one of semi-transparent “?” And “!!” is provisionally displayed on the image display device 17 (S382).

  On the other hand, when the special game suggestion symbol 71 is displayed on the image display device 17 (S373; Yes), as shown in FIG. 79, any of translucent “?” And “!!” is provisionally displayed. In this case (S391; Yes), when the reach state is reached with the effect of encouraging the reach of the symbol variation effect related to the selection information to be selected (S392; Yes), the translucent initial selection is performed. The display is changed to any one of “5R” and “16R” (S393). When any of translucent “?” And “!!” is not provisionally displayed on the image display device 17 (S391; No), when the symbol variation effect related to the pre-determination information that is the selection target is finished ( S394; Yes), the display of the special game suggestion symbol 71 is deleted (S395).

  As shown in FIG. 78, when it is not in the probability variation effect mode (S371; No), as shown in FIG. 80, in the special game (S401; Yes), as described with reference to FIG. One or a plurality of special game history symbols 70 and special game related symbols 72 are displayed (S372). Next, when the special game suggestion symbol 73 is not displayed on the image display device 17 (S403; Yes), when the roulette effect for setting the second special effect mode is finished after the special game is finished (S404). ; Yes), the information stored in the advance determination information storage means 65 is referred to (S504).

  Next, a special game suggestion symbol selection process (S406) is executed for the pre-determined information with the highest expectation degree of jackpot, and as described with reference to FIG. 54, either “special” or “16R” is selected. If it is selected (S407; Yes), one of translucent “special” and “16R” is displayed on the image display device 17 (S408).

  Next, processing related to the effect button instruction effect including the effect of encouraging the reaching state will be described. This processing is performed when the computer of the effect control board 23 and the image control board 24 receives a special figure change start command from the game control board 21, and FIG. 81 shows an example of a detailed flowchart of the processing. .

  As shown in FIG. 81, in this process, first, an effect pattern to be executed is determined by lottery or the like from a plurality of effect patterns (symbol change effects) based on the information obtained from the received special figure change start command. (S420). Here, an effect pattern including a button operation instruction effect can be determined.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the effect pattern determined in S420 is an effect pattern including a button operation instruction effect (S421). Here, the button operation instruction effect includes a reach turn effect that encourages (expects) that a reach state is reached, and the effect pattern including the button operation instruction effect is a development effect after the button operation instruction effect is executed. An effect pattern that is executed and an effect pattern in which the development effect is not executed after the button operation instruction effect is executed.

  If the determination in S421 is Yes, the button operation instruction effect is executed (S422). Specifically, the left effect symbol DIL (see FIG. 82) variably displayed on the left display portion RL of the image display device 17 and the right effect symbol DIR (FIG. 82) variably displayed on the right display portion RR of the image display device 17. Display effect (reach-reaching effect, diagram) that is expected to be stopped at the same numerical symbol (for example, “1”) (so-called reach eye is established and reach state is reached) 83 (1)) is executed, and the button operation that prompts the player to operate the effect button SW6a in a specific operation mode (any one of “single press”, “continuous hit”, and “long press” to be described later) The instruction effect (see FIG. 83 (2)) is executed.

  Next, whether or not the effect button SW6a is operated in the operation mode (any one of “single press”, “continuous hit”, and “long press”) instructed by the button operation instruction effect executed in S422 within the operation reception period. It is determined (S423). Specifically, in the effect pattern including the button operation instruction effect, a predetermined period (for example, a period from 3 seconds to 8 seconds later) after the button operation instruction effect is started is set as the operation reception period.

  If the determination in S423 is No, it is determined whether the operation acceptance period has elapsed (S424). If the determination in S423 or S424 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the effect pattern including the button operation instruction effect determined in S420 is an effect pattern including the development effect (S425). Specifically, the development effect of the effect pattern including the button operation instruction effect is associated with each type of operation mode of the effect button SW6a instructed by the button operation instruction effect ("single press", "continuous hit", "long press"). (See FIG. 84), and is an effect (for example, reach effect) that makes the player expect to win a big hit lottery (a big win).

  If the determination in S425 is Yes, an effect of stopping the effect symbol at the reach (reach eye establishment effect) is executed (S426). Specifically, for example, the numerical symbol “1” is stopped and displayed on the left display unit RL as the left effect symbol DIL, and the same numeric symbol “1” is stopped and displayed on the right display unit RR as the right effect symbol DIR, for example. Reach eye establishment effect) is executed. Thereafter, the development effect is executed (S427). Specifically, the development effect associated with the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect executed in S422 is executed.

  Next, when the determination in S425 is No, or after the execution of S427, an effect that notifies the determination result by the effect symbol is executed (S428). Specifically, when the determination in S425 is No, the reach is not established as the effect design, but the effect of stopping and displaying at the losing eyes (for example, “1”, “4”, “6”) is executed, and in S425 When the determination is Yes, after the execution of the development effect of S427, the effect that is stopped and displayed at the hit (for example, “1” “1” “1”) as the effect symbol in the case of a big hit is lost. In this case, an effect of stopping and displaying at the losing eyes after reach (for example, “1”, “2”, “1”) is executed as an effect symbol.

  On the other hand, when the determination in S421 is No, an effect pattern that does not include the button operation instruction effect determined in S420 is executed (S429). In addition, in the production of production patterns that do not include the button operation instruction production, both production patterns that develop into reach production and production patterns that do not develop into reach production are included. For this reason, the button operation instruction effect may not be executed, and may develop into a reach effect.

  82 is a diagram showing an effect using the effect symbol DI displayed on the image display device 17, FIG. 83 is a diagram showing an outline of the button operation instruction effect, and FIG. 84 is related to the button operation instruction effect. It is a figure which shows an example of an effect pattern, FIG. 85, FIG. 86 is a figure which shows the detail of a button operation instruction | indication effect.

  As shown in FIG. 82, three effect symbols DI (DIL, DIC, DIR) are displayed on the image display device 17, and each effect symbol DI is displayed on each display unit R (RL) in accordance with the variation display of the special symbols. , RC, RR). Specifically, first, the left effect design DIL is temporarily stopped after being variably displayed on the left display portion RL, and then the right effect design DIR is temporarily stopped after being variably displayed on the right display portion RR. After the medium effect symbol DIC is variably displayed on the middle display portion RC and then temporarily stopped, all the effect symbols DI are completely stopped and displayed.

  As a result, the winning result (hit or lose) is notified. The temporary stop means that the player can recognize that the change of the production symbol DI has stopped, and is not completely stopped, for example, in a state where the change is slightly up and down. Is displayed. This indicates that the special symbol is still changing. In the drawings after FIG. 83, the effect symbol DI that is changing or temporarily stopped is displayed with a dotted line, and the effect symbol DI that is completely stopped (main stop) is indicated with a solid line.

  In the production symbol DI, a so-called “diet”, a number symbol which can be notified of a big hit by being aligned (or matching a specific pattern) is drawn, and when the two symbols are aligned, it becomes a so-called reach state. . That is, for example, when the numerical symbol “1” is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol DIL, and the numerical symbol “1” is temporarily stopped and displayed as the right effect symbol DIR, the reach state (the state where the reach eye “1” is established) When “1” is stopped and displayed as the remaining one medium effect symbol DIC, it is a big hit. Then, a button operation instruction effect is executed as an effect suggesting that this reach state (reach eye) is established.

  Next, an outline of the button operation instruction effect will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 83 and subsequent drawings, the display portion R is not shown, but as described with reference to FIG. 82, the left effect symbol DIL, the middle effect symbol DIC, and the right effect symbol DIR are displayed on the left. It is assumed that the variable display is performed in the part RL, the middle display part RC, and the right display part RR.

  As shown in FIG. 83 (1), as the left effect symbol DIL, for example, the numerical symbol “1” is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the fluctuation rate of the right effect symbol DIR that has been variably displayed is reduced. As the symbol DIR, for example, a reach-rolling effect is executed which causes the player to expect that the same numerical symbol “1” (that is, reach eyes) as the left effect symbol DIL will be displayed temporarily. Then, as shown in FIG. 83 (2), the timing at which the right effect symbol DIR that is variably displayed is likely to be temporarily stopped and displayed with the same numerical symbol as that of the left effect symbol DIL (actually, the temporary stop indicator is displayed). As a production suggesting that the reach eye is established at a timing that is not), a button operation instruction production is executed to urge the player to operate the production button SW6a in a specific operation mode. Details of the button operation instruction effect will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS.

  Here, an effect pattern for producing an effect in the image display device 17 in accordance with the variation display of the special symbol is prepared in advance for each variation time of the special symbol. As shown in FIG. 84, a plurality of effect patterns (A1, A2, A3..., B1, B2, B3...) Including button operation instruction effects are prepared as a part of the plurality of effect patterns. Then, according to the special figure variation time determined as described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, one effect pattern is determined from the plurality of effect patterns shown in FIG. 84, and the button operation instruction effect is executed. Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 84, an effect pattern including a button operation instruction effect is associated with at least a special figure change time, reach reach establishment possibility, type of development effect, and button operation mode indicated by the button operation instruction effect. . Here, whether or not a reach eye is established is information indicating whether or not a reach eye is established after a button operation instruction effect suggesting the establishment of a reach eye is executed. In this case, the information indicates the type of development effect (reach effect) that develops subsequently, and is associated with the reliability of the jackpot. In the development effect, for example, the jackpot expectation level of the reach effect Z is the highest, then the jackpot expectation level of the reach effect Y is high, and the jackpot expectation level of the reach effect X is the lowest. Further, the button operation mode is information indicating in which operation mode the operation is urged when the player is prompted to operate the button in the button operation instruction effect.

  Specifically, the production patterns A1, A2, and A3 are production patterns that have a special figure variation time of “60 seconds” and that reach reach is established and develop into a subsequent development production. More specifically, the effect pattern A1 is an effect pattern that develops into the development effect X. In the button operation instruction effect, the button operation instruction that prompts “single press” (pressing the button only once) as the button operation mode. Production is performed. The effect pattern A2 is an effect pattern that develops into the development effect Y. In the button operation instruction effect, a button operation instruction effect that prompts “continuous hitting” (pressing the button a plurality of times continuously) as a button operation mode is executed. . The effect pattern A3 is an effect pattern that develops into the development effect Z, and in the button operation instruction effect, a button operation instruction effect that prompts “long press” (pressing the button for a certain period) as a button operation mode is executed. As described above, the button operation instruction effects having different button operation modes are set in each of the effect patterns A1, A2, and A3 in association with the types of the development effects.

  On the other hand, the effect patterns B1, B2, and B3 are effect patterns that have a special figure fluctuation time of “30 seconds” and do not develop reach successes without reaching reach. More specifically, the effect pattern B1 is an effect pattern in which the button operation instruction effect that prompts “single press” as a button operation mode is executed in the button operation instruction effect, but does not develop into an advanced effect, and the effect pattern B2 In the button operation instruction effect, a button operation instruction effect that prompts “continuous hit” as a button operation mode is executed, but this is an effect pattern that does not develop into an advanced effect, and the effect pattern B3 is a button operation instruction effect in the button operation instruction effect. Although the button operation instruction effect prompting “long press” is executed as an aspect, the effect pattern does not develop into an advanced effect.

  Therefore, for example, when an effect based on the effect pattern A1 is executed, after a button operation instruction effect that prompts “single press” is executed, the button operation is successful and a reach is established, and the subsequent development effect X When an effect based on the effect pattern B1 is executed, a button operation instruction effect that prompts “single press” is executed, but the button operation fails and a reach is established. However, an effect that does not develop into the subsequent development effect is executed. By providing the effect pattern A1 and the effect pattern B1, the button operation instruction effect and the button operation are not necessarily developed to the developed effect even if the same button operation instruction effect urging the “single press” is executed. It can arouse the player's interest in.

  In addition, in FIG. 84, although the production pattern of the production including the button operation instruction production has been described, the production pattern that does not include the button operation instruction production includes the production pattern in which the development production (reach production) is executed. . Therefore, when this effect pattern effect is executed, the button operation instruction effect is not executed, and the effect that develops into the reach effect is executed. Next, a button operation instruction effect executed when an effect pattern including the button operation instruction effect shown in FIG. 84 is selected will be described with reference to FIGS. 85 and 86. FIG.

  The button operation instruction effect is executed as an effect having various variations depending on which effect pattern shown in FIG. 84 is selected. As shown in FIG. 85 (1), on the image display device 17, for example, a numerical symbol “1” is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol DIL, and as the right effect symbol DIR, for example, the same as the left effect symbol DIL. A button operation instruction effect suggesting that the numerical symbol “1” is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol DIL (that is, the reach eye is established) at the timing when the numerical symbol “1” is likely to be temporarily stopped. Executed. In this button operation instruction effect, there are a success pattern in which a reach eye is subsequently established and a failure pattern in which a reach eye is not subsequently established.

  When the button operation instruction effect of the failure pattern is executed, when the player performs a button operation in the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect, for example, a numerical symbol “ 1 ”is not temporarily stopped (that is, the reach is not established; see FIG. 85 (2)), and for example, a number symbol other than the number symbol“ 1 ”is temporarily stopped as the right effect symbol DIR. The loss effect that the symbol DI becomes a losing eye and stops this time is executed (see FIG. 85 (3)). That is, when such an effect is executed, for example, the effect pattern B1 is selected from the effect patterns shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the button operation instruction effect of the successful pattern is executed, when the player performs the button operation in the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect, the right effect design symbol DIL is, for example, a number at the operation timing described later. The symbol “1” is temporarily stopped (that is, the reach eye is established), and the reach eye establishment effect (see FIG. 85 (4)) for notifying that the reach eye is established is executed, and then the special symbol lottery is performed. A reach effect (development effect) that causes the player to expect to win (big win) is executed (see FIG. 85 (5)). That is, when such an effect is executed, for example, the effect pattern A1 is selected from the effect patterns shown in FIG.

  The above-mentioned operation timing is, for example, “single press” when a single button operation is detected within an operation reception period (eg, 3 seconds), and “continuous hit”. This is the time when a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) of button operations are detected within the operation reception period (3 seconds). In the case of “long press”, for example, 1 second within the operation reception period (3 seconds) This is the point in time when a long press on the button is detected. In addition, when the player does not perform the button operation, or when the operation is not performed in the instructed operation mode (for example, in the case of “continuous hit”, the operation is performed only three times during the operation reception period, In the case of “long press”, when the user presses only 0.5 seconds within the operation reception period), the reach is achieved at the timing when the operation reception period has passed (after 3 seconds) (FIG. 85). (Refer to (4)), or an effect (see FIG. 85 (2)) where the reach is not established. Therefore, the player can display the result of whether or not the reach eye is established by performing the button operation before the timing when the operation reception period elapses. That is, by causing the player to execute the button operation, it is possible to make the player feel a sense of participation in the game that the result is displayed by his / her own operation.

  When the development effect is executed, the development effect is executed in association with the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect. Hereinafter, the correspondence between the development effect and the operation mode when the development effect is executed will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 86 (1), when the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect is “single press” push, when the player performs the button operation in the operation mode, the reach eye establishment effect is executed. Then, the development effect that develops into the reach effect X is executed. That is, when such an effect is executed, the effect pattern A1 is selected from the effect patterns shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 86 (2), when the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect is “continuous hit” pressing, when the player performs the button operation in the operation mode, the reach eye establishment effect is executed. Then, the development effect that develops into the reach effect Y is executed. That is, when such an effect is executed, the effect pattern A2 is selected from the effect patterns shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 86 (3), when the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect is “long press”, when the player performs the button operation in the operation mode, the reach eye establishment effect is executed. Then, the development effect that develops into the reach effect Z is executed. That is, when such an effect is executed, the effect pattern A3 is selected from the effect patterns shown in FIG.

  In this way, it develops into a different development effect (reach effect) depending on the operation mode instructed by the button operation instruction effect. Therefore, the button operation instruction effect not only functions as an effect suggesting the establishment of the reach state (reach eye), but also as an effect suggesting the type of subsequent effect (development effect) that develops when the reach state is established. Function. Since this type of development effect is associated with the reliability, for example, if the expectation of jackpot of reach effect Z is the highest, the button operation with a long press after the reach eyelash effect is executed When the button operation instruction effect is executed, the player is expected to develop to the effect with the highest expectation of big hit (hot effect), and the reach state is established (that is, the button operation instruction Hoping that the button operation in the mode instructed by the effect will be successful), it is possible to enjoy the button operation instruction effect (that is, the button operation).

  That is, the player can expect that the reach state is established by the button operation instruction effect, and at the same time, by providing a plurality of operation modes of the button operation instructed by the button operation instruction effect, the variation of the player's button operation is increased. At the same time, by suggesting the development destination when each reach is established, it is possible to make the player expect the development destination before the reach state is established. Therefore, the button operation instruction effect can be used to execute a more innovative effect that attracts the player's interest.

  In the embodiment described above, the button operation is performed as an effect suggesting that, among the three effect symbols, two effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed with a specific symbol (reach eyes) (that is, reach eyes are established). The case where the instruction effect is executed has been described. However, even if the button operation instruction effect is executed as an effect suggesting that the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed with a specific symbol (an opportunity chance different from the hit) (that is, the chance eye is established) Good. Hereinafter, the button operation instruction effect suggesting the establishment of the chance eye will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 87, for example, the numerical symbol “1” (hereinafter referred to as the first chance) is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol DIL, and for example, the numerical symbol “3” (hereinafter referred to as the first symbol) is displayed as the right effect symbol DIR. The second chance) is displayed as a temporary stop, and as the medium effect design DIC, for example, the numerical design “2” (hereinafter referred to as the third chance) is displayed as a temporary stop. It shall be.

  First, as shown in FIG. 87 (1), the first chance time is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol DIR, and then the second chance symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed as the right effect symbol DIR. Next, as shown in FIG. 87 (2), when the variation speed of the medium effect symbol DIC that has been variably displayed becomes slow and the third chance is temporarily displayed (that is, the chance sight is established). A chance-making effect is made to make the player expect that there is no chance. Then, as shown in FIG. 87 (3), the chance that the medium effect symbol DIC that is variably displayed is likely to be temporarily stopped at the third chance (actually, the timing that is not temporarily stopped) is displayed. As an effect that suggests that the eyes are established, a button operation instruction effect that prompts the player to operate the effect button SW6a in a specific operation mode is executed.

  Further, depending on the operation mode of the button operation instructed by the button operation instruction effect that suggests the establishment of the chance eye, the subsequent effect (development effect) that develops when the chance eye is satisfied differs. Therefore, the button operation instruction effect not only functions as an effect suggesting the establishment of the chance eye, but also functions as an effect suggesting the type of subsequent effect (development effect) that develops when the chance eye is established. As described above, the button operation instruction effect is not limited to an effect that is used as an effect that suggests that a part of the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner that matches a specific symbol pattern (for example, reach eyes). Is used as an effect that suggests that all of the images are stopped and displayed in a manner that matches a specific design pattern (for example, a chance eye), and the development destination differs depending on the operation mode of the button operation indicated by the button operation instruction effect. It is also possible to execute an effect that develops.

  If an appropriate button operation is not performed according to the instructed operation mode after the button operation instruction effect is executed, the same effect as when an appropriate button operation is performed after the operation reception period has elapsed. Was supposed to be executed. However, when an appropriate button operation is not performed, another effect (for example, an effect with a low expectation degree of jackpot) may be executed. That is, each effect pattern develops to an effect associated with the button operation mode when there is a button operation, and when there is no button operation, each effect pattern is a predetermined pattern not associated with the button operation mode. It may be an effect pattern that develops into an effect (including an effect that can be branched).

  By the way, as described with reference to FIG. 40, when the “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the translucent “?” Or “!!” is displayed on the image display device 17 as the special game suggestion symbol 71. In the state where “” is displayed, the button operation instruction effect (the effect of encouraging (expecting to reach the reach state) and the operation instruction 17 j for prompting the operation of the effect button SW 6 a are “single press”, “continuous hit”, “long press” Any one of them may be displayed, but the button operation instruction effect and the development effect here are basically the same as those described with reference to FIGS.

  In other words, when the production button SW6a is operated by any of the designated “single press”, “continuous hit”, and “long press” to reach the reach state, the translucent “?” Or “!!” to the translucent “5R”. Or, when the display is changed to “16R” and the reach state is changed from “single press”, the stage shifts to a development effect with a low expectation degree of big hit, and when the reach state is changed from “continuous hit”, the reach state is changed from “single press”. If a transition to a development effect with a higher jackpot expectation than in the case is made and the reach state is changed from “Long press”, a shift to a development effect with a higher jackpot expectation is made than in the case of a reach state from “continuous hit”.

  On the other hand, the translucent “?” Or “!!” is translucent “5R” unless the effect button SW6a is operated by any of the designated “single press”, “continuous hit”, and “long press” to reach the reach state. "Or" 16R ", the display is not changed or the display is deleted. Here, the button operation instruction effect is changed from translucent “?” Or “!!” to translucent “5R” or “16R” (translucent “5R” or “16R” appears. The expectation is made different depending on whether “single press”, “continuous hit”, or “long press” is instructed.

  Therefore, specifically, as shown in FIG. 88, in the button operation instruction effect, when “single press” is instructed, the reach state is reached (that is, the translucence is changed to “5R” or “16R”). Ratio) and ratio that does not reach reach (that is, it is not changed to translucent “5R” or “16R”), the same ratio when “continuous hit” is instructed, and the same when “long press” is instructed The ratios are set as shown in the figure.

  In other words, the ratio of the display change from semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” to semi-transparent “5R” or “16R”, that is, the expectation level is the button operation instruction effect instructing “long press”. Will be highest when a button operation instruction effect instructing “continuous hit” is performed next, and lowest when a button operation instruction effect instructing “single press” is performed. Become.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When “low-probability / non-short-time state” is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 to “launch left” to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the left side of the center accessory 16. When a game is played and the first start port 10 can be aimed by this “left-handed” and the number of the first special figure reservation is less than 4, if the game ball wins the first start port 10, the first special figure Determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure storage unit 32.

  When “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 so that the game ball is dropped on the right side of the center object 16. A game is played by “right-handed” to be fired, and this “right-handed” can aim at the second starting port 11a, and when the second special figure holding number is less than 4, the game ball is moved to the second starting port 11a. When winning, the second special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure holding storage means 32.

  In addition, the player can aim at the gate 12 by “right-handed”, and when the number of holdings of the usual figure is less than 4, when the game ball passes the gate 12, the usual figure determination information is acquired and the ordinary figure holding storage means 42. Here, first, the general symbol determination information stored in the general symbol hold storage means 42 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the variation of the normal symbol starts, and the winning lottery is performed by the digestion of the normal symbol determination information. In the case of winning, an auxiliary game is generated in which the second start opening 11a is opened after the symbol is hit by the normal display 19c and stops changing.

  When “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the high operation mode is set as the auxiliary game operation mode, and “right-handed” is performed to Since many game balls can be expected to win, it is possible to play a game by substantially maintaining the number of game balls owned by “right-handed”. However, when “low accuracy / non-short-time state” is set, even if “right-handed” is performed, almost no winning of the game ball to the first starting port 10 can be expected, and the low operation mode is used as the auxiliary game operation mode. Therefore, almost no winning of a game ball to the second starting port 11a can be expected, so the game is played while reducing the number of game balls owned by “left-handed”.

  Next, the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the special symbol starts. At that time, a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32. Are stored in the order in which they are acquired. However, if both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is stored. The figure determination information is preferentially digested over the first special figure determination information. If the bonus game lottery is performed by digesting the special figure determination information, and if the winner is won by the bonus game lottery, the bonus game symbols 13a and 14a are opened after the bonus game symbol is stopped fluctuating in the special signal indicators 19a and 19bc. A special game will occur.

  When a special game occurs, the player can aim at the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a by "right-handed". Depending on the type of jackpot symbol that has been suspended, one of 4R long-term opening + 12R short-term opening special game A, 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening special game B, C, or 16R long-term opening special game D or E In special game A, about 500 game balls can be obtained, in special games B and C, about 625 game balls can be obtained, and in special games D and E, about 2000 game balls can be obtained. Can be earned.

  In addition, the special area 14f is opened with the opening of the 2nd big prize opening 14a of the 5R and 16R of special games. When the winning opening 14a is opened for a short time (in the case of the special game A), it is very unlikely that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f, but when the second big winning opening 14a is opened for a long time in the 5Rth ( In the case of special games B, C, D, and E), when the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long time (in the case of special games D and E) at the 16th round, there is a possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f. Is extremely high.

  If you win in the big hit lottery based on the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 10 in the “low-probability / non-short-time state”, either special game A-special game B will be 38% -62% Although the game is executed, basically, when the special game A is executed, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f. Therefore, after the special game is ended, the “low probability / short time state” is set, and the special game B is When executed, the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, so that the “high-probability / time-short state” is set after the special game ends.

  Special winning rate of 48% -32% -20% when winning in the big hit lottery based on the winning of the game ball to the 2nd starting port 11a in “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” Game C- Special game D- Special game E is executed. Basically, any of the special games C, D, E is executed, because the game ball passes through the specific area 14f. After the special game is finished, “high accuracy / short time state” is set.

  Here, after the special game is finished, if the number of special figure changes exceeds 110 without special game being performed in the state where the “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the “high accuracy / short time state” The setting is changed to “Inaccurate / Non-short-time state”. When the number of special figure fluctuations is less than 110 in the “highly accurate / short-time state” and hits a big hit, it becomes a so-called continuous channel, and the continuous channel probability is about 70% to 75%, for example.

  In the “highly accurate / short-time state”, a relatively large number of game balls win the second starting port 11a, and a game can be performed while maintaining the number of owned game balls substantially. The number of game balls that can be acquired varies greatly depending on whether or not the number of consecutive changs is increased or not, and whether or not the number of consecutive churns increases. In other words, the player first plays a game with the expectation that a special game in which “high accuracy / short time state” is set in “low accuracy / short time state”, and then “high accuracy / short time state”. ”Will play games in the hope that it will become a continuous chain and that the number of continuous channels will increase.

  In addition, after the special game ends, if the number of special figure changes exceeds 100 without special game being performed in the state where the “low accuracy / short time state” is set, the “low accuracy / short time state” will be changed to “ The setting is changed to "Inaccurate / Non-short-time state". When the number of special figure fluctuations is less than 100 in the “low-probability / short-time state” and hits a big hit, so-called pull-back occurs, and the pull-back probability is, for example, about 30% to 35%.

  On the other hand, regarding the game effect, when the special symbol is variably displayed based on the determination result of whether or not it is a big hit, the symbol fluctuation effect suggesting the big hit expectation degree determined to be a big win is also performed, and the special game is also performed. The special game effect and the ending effect including the opening effect that excites the special game are mainly displayed on the image display device 17, and the game effect and the game entertainment are enhanced by the game effect.

  First, regarding the symbol variation effect, when “high accuracy / short time state” is set and “probability change effect mode” is set, as shown in FIG. The special game history symbol 70 (“5R” or “16R”) is displayed. With this special game history symbol 70, the special game played as a big hit from the "low probability / non-short state" is not changed to the "low probability / non-short state" except when a special game is played. The number of special games up to the present time; the number of consecutive special games executed, and the number of rounds in which at least some special games included in the number of consecutive special games executed are substantially obtained.

  The player sees the special game history chart 70 and knows the number of consecutive special game executions and the number of rounds in which at least a part of special games included in the continuous special game executions are actually obtained. Therefore, if the number of consecutive special games executed is large, the number of special game history symbols 70 of “16R” is large (the number of special games in which 2000 balls are obtained is large), and a sense of superiority is achieved. On the other hand, one special game history symbol 70 is added and displayed next, and the special game history symbol 70 becomes “16R” (2000 balls are obtained). Can be played in the hope that a special game will be generated).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 36, when the “probability change / short-time state” is set (when the symbol variation effect is performed in the “probability change effect mode”), based on the determination result by the prior determination means 34c. As a special game suggesting effect that causes the image display device 17 to expect a special game to be played based on the reserved second special figure determination information using the special game history symbol 70 displayed, the special game A special game suggestion pattern 71 (translucent “?” Or “!!” or “5R” or “16R”) related to (similar to) the history symbol 70 or suggesting the special game history symbol 70 may be displayed.

  In a state where the “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the special game suggestion pattern 71 is displayed in a situation where the special figure change count exceeds 110 times without the special game being performed, that is, it may not be a continuous game. When displayed, the player can increase the expectation that the special game will be performed, the expectation that the “high-precision / short-time state” will continue after the special game ends, and the special game suggestion pattern 71 is a semi-transparent “ If it is “5R”, you can expect a special game of 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening, and if it is translucent “16R”, expect a special game of 16R long-term opening. Can do.

  Further, when the special game suggestion symbol 71 of “?” Or “!!” that is translucent is displayed, if the special game suggestion symbol 71 of “?” Or “!!” that is translucent does not change, Although the expectation that a special game will be performed is lower than when the transparent special game suggestion pattern 71 of “5R” or “16R” is displayed, the translucent “?” Or “!!” It can be expected that the display changes to the special game suggestion symbol 71 of “5R” or “16R”, that is, the degree of expectation that the special game will be performed is increased.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (FIGS. 82 to 88), when a button operation instruction effect is performed, a special game suggestion design from translucent “?” Or “!!” to translucent “5R” or “16R”. The expectation that the display changes to 71 is increased. In this button operation instruction effect, as the operation of the effect button SW6a, either “single press”, “continuous hit”, or “long press” is instructed. However, when the effect button SW6a is operated, the reach state is reached, and there is a possibility that the display changes to the translucent special game suggestion symbol 71 of “5R” or “16R”.

  Expectation to change to the semi-transparent “5R” or “16R” special game suggestion pattern 71 in the order of “single press” → “continuous hit” → “long press” becomes high, and the state shifts to reach state. Since the expectation of jackpot of the development effect to be increased, the player may expect to be instructed to “continuous hit” rather than “single press”, and to be instructed to “long press” rather than “continuous hit” it can.

  Next, regarding the special game effect, when the big hit is made in the “low probability / non-short-time state” (that is, based on the first special figure determination information), one of the special games A and B is performed, and FIG. 41 and FIG. The special games A and B effects shown in 42 are performed. In the special game A and B production, a battle production is performed, and by winning there, the special game B is performed, and the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at the 5th R, that is, the game. Since the ball passes through the specific area 14f and enters the “high-probability / short-time state” after the special game ends, it is possible to increase the expectation to become the “high-probability / short-time state” by the special game A and B effects. it can.

  When the big hit is made in the “high accuracy / time-short state” or “low accuracy / time-short state” (that is, based on the second special figure determination information), one of the special games C and D is performed, and FIG. 43 and FIG. Special games C and D effects are performed, special game E is performed, and special game E effects as shown in FIGS. 47 and 48 are performed. The mouth 14a is opened for a long period of time, that is, the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, and enters the “highly accurate / short time state” after the special game ends.

  In the special game C, D effect, the roulette effect shown in FIG. 45 is started after the end of the fifth round. In special game C, the roulette effect is performed until the 16th round ends, and in special game D, the first big prize opening 13a is opened and closed for a short time 10 times in the 6th round. A roulette effect is performed until the first grand prize winning opening 13a is fully opened, which is unclear as to which of the special games C and D is being performed.

  In this roulette effect, there is a suggested game effect that suggests whether or not the advantageous state continues, that is, whether or not the special game D is being performed, and whether or not the special game effect is to be performed after the special game ends. In addition to the expectation that the advantageous state is continued by this suggestion game effect, increase the expectation that the symbol variation effect will be performed in the “second special effect mode” after the special game is ended (becomes a reservation series). Can do.

  Then, in the roulette effect, after the suggested game effect, a continuous game effect indicating that the advantageous state continues, or a pre-determined game effect indicating that the special game effect is performed after the special game ends, the player In addition, the player can be more delighted by performing both the continuous game effect and the pre-determined game effect.

  In the roulette effect, if a pre-determined game effect that does not indicate that a special game effect is to be performed is performed, the symbol variation effect is performed in the “probability change effect mode” after the special game ends, but this indicates that the special game effect is performed. When the pre-determined game effect is performed, the symbol variation effect is performed in the “second special effect mode” until the second special symbol is variably displayed four times after the special game ends, and a big hit is made during this period. It is possible to make the player expect the occurrence of the pending run.

  After the special game is over, if the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner four times, that is, if there is no pending run, the symbol special effect mode is used in the “fluctuation effect mode” from the fifth special symbol display. Is done. However, when the second special symbol determination information is newly held by the time the second special symbol is variably displayed four times, and the second special symbol determination information is a big hit, the second special symbol Even after the display is changed four times, the “second special performance mode” is extended, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation of being a big hit.

  By the way, when one of the special games C, D, E is being performed, as shown in FIG. 51, the image display device 17 has one or more special game history symbols 70 (“5R” or “16R”). )) And the special game related symbol 72 (“special” or “16R”) related to the special game being executed is displayed. The special game history symbol 70 and the special game relevant symbol 72 are used to substantially output the number of consecutive special games including the special game, and at least some special games including the special game included in the consecutive special game execution times. The number of rounds in which the ball was obtained is indicated.

  The player looks at the special game history symbol 70 and the special game relevant symbol 72, and the continuous special game execution count including the special game, and at least a part of the special game including the special game included in the continuous special game execution count. It is possible to know the number of rounds in which a game has actually been played, and when the number of consecutive special game executions is large, the number of “16R” special game history symbols 70 and special game related symbols 72 are also large. (There are a lot of special games with 2000 balls), you can have a sense of superiority. Furthermore, it is possible to play a game with the expectation that the special game-related symbol 72 becomes “16R” (a special game where 2000 balls can be obtained is generated).

  When the special game E is being played, the special game symbol 72 of “16R” is displayed all the time, but when the special game C or D is being played, first, the special game symbol 72 of “special” is played. Is displayed and special game D is being performed, then, in the 6R roulette effect, an effect indicating “R promotion” or “!!” is performed. The display changes to the special game 72 of “16R”. When the “special” special game related symbol 72 is displayed, the player expects that the display changes from “special” to “16R” special game corresponding symbol 72, that is, the advantageous special game continues. can do.

  Here, when any of the special games C, D, and E is being performed, the special displayed on the image display device 17 based on the determination result by the prior determination means 34c as shown in FIG. Using the game history symbol 70 and the special game related symbol 72, the special game history symbol as a special game suggesting effect for expecting a special game to be held continuously based on the second special figure determination information being held. 70, a special game suggestion symbol 73 (translucent “5R” or “16R”) associated with (similar to) the special game relevant symbol 72 or suggesting the special game history symbol 70, the special game relevant symbol 72 may be displayed. .

  Even after the completion of any of the special games C, D, and E, even if the “high-precision / short-time state” is set, there is no special game and the number of special figure changes exceeds 110 times. When the special game suggestion symbol 73 is displayed under a situation that may not be possible, the player expects a special game to be held continuously, and an expectation that the “high-precision / short-time state” will continue after the special game ends. In addition, if the special game suggestion symbol 73 is translucent “5R”, it can be expected that a special game of 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening will be performed, and translucent “16R” In this case, it can be expected that a special game of 16R long-term opening will be performed.

  The second embodiment shows an example in which the function of the special game suggestion effect control means 64b of the special game related effect control means 64 is changed or added in the first embodiment. This special game suggestion effect control means 64b provides the image display device 17 with the determination result by the big hit determination means 34a and the symbol determination means 34b, that is, the so-called determination result when the game is controlled in the “highly accurate / short time state”. Based on the special game history information that is displayed, a special game suggestion effect that suggests that a special game is to be played (indicating the possibility of a special game being performed) is used as the effect image of the symbol variation effect. Overlaying is basically displayed so as to give priority over the effect image of the symbol variation effect.

  Here, as described above, as shown in FIG. 35, in order to display a special game suggestion effect, as a special game suggestion pattern 71 that is related to (similar to) the special game history symbol 70 or suggests the special game history symbol 70 The first special game suggestion symbol 71a (translucent “?”), The second special game suggestion symbol 71b (translucent “!!”), and the third special game suggestion symbol 71c (translucent “5R”) ) And the fourth special game suggestion symbol 71d (translucent “16R”) are determined. Translucent “?” And “!!” are designed to expect 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening or 16R long-term opening special games, translucent “5R” is 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening special games The symbol that is expected to be played, the translucent “16R” is a symbol that expects a special game of 16R long-term opening.

  Then, the special game suggestion effect control means 64b is one of the first to fourth special game suggestion symbols 71a to 71d based on the determination result when the symbol variation effect is performed in the “probability change effect mode”. It is possible to select the special game suggestion symbol 71 and display the special game suggestion symbol 71 at a position where the special game history symbol 70 is displayed when the special game is performed next time. Specifically, regarding selection of the special game suggestion symbol 71, based on the determination result, similarly to the above, using the special game suggestion symbol selection table shown in FIG. 37, non-winning (1), non-winning (2), 5R Long-term release + 11R short-term special game win; Win (5R), 16R long-term special game win; semi-transparent “?” “!!” "5R" or "16R" is selected. In particular, select either semi-transparent “?”, “!!”, “5R”, or “16R” at a rate of 60% in total when winning (5R) and at a rate of 80% in total when winning (16R). .

  In addition, when semi-transparent “5R” is selected, first, a semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is temporarily displayed, and the semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is semi-transparently displayed. It is possible to change the display to transparent “5R”. Specifically, as described above, as shown in FIG. 38, the display change from translucent “?” To “5R” and the display change from translucent “!!” to “5R” It is performed at the selection rate shown in the figure for each of the non-winning (1) (2) and winning (5R). Also, when semi-transparent “16R” is selected, first, either of the semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is temporarily displayed, and the semi-transparent “?” Or “!!” is semi-transparently displayed. It is possible to change the display to transparent “16R”. Specifically, as described above, as shown in FIG. 39, the display change from translucent “?” To “16R” and the display change from translucent “!!” to “16R” The selection rate is shown for each of the non-winning (1) (2) and winning (16R). Various settings can be changed for the various selection rates.

  In this way, when the special game suggestion effect control means 64b controls the game in the “highly accurate / short time state”, if the big hit determination means 34a determines that the special game is to be performed, the special game is performed. A special game suggestion symbol 71 (semi-transparent “?”, “!!”, “5R”, or “16R”) is displayed together with the special game history information, and the symbol determination means 34b performs a 16R long-term display. If it is determined that a special game of opening (second special game) is to be performed, a special game suggestion pattern 71 (translucent “?”, “!!”, “16R” suggesting that a special game of 16R long-term opening will be performed. ", Particularly translucent" 16R ") is displayed together with the special game history information, it is possible to perform a notification effect that notifies the counted number of consecutive special game executions.

  Furthermore, when the game is controlled in the “high-precision / short-time state” by the special game suggestion effect control means 64b, the special determination game (first special game) of 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release by the symbol judgment means 34b. The special game suggestion pattern 71 suggesting that the special game is performed with a higher probability when it is determined that the special game (second special game) of 16R long-term release is performed than when the special game is determined to be performed. (Translucent “?”, “!!”, or “16R”) is displayed together with the special game history information, and it is possible to perform a notification effect informing the counted number of consecutive special game executions. .

  When the game is controlled in the “high-probability / short-time state” of the second embodiment, a technique that can display a special game suggestion symbol based on the determination result by the jackpot determination unit 34a and the symbol determination unit 34b. When the game is controlled in the “high-probability / short-time state” in the first embodiment, the game can be used in combination with a technique capable of displaying the special game suggestion symbol based on the preliminary determination result by the preliminary determination means 34c. In this case, when the special game suggestion symbol is not displayed based on the prior determination result, it is possible to display the special game suggestion symbol performed based on the determination result. Alternatively, when the game is controlled in the “high-probability / short-time state” of the first embodiment, a technique capable of selectively displaying the special game suggestion symbol based on the pre-determination result by the pre-determination means 34c may be omitted. .

The first and second embodiments may be partially changed as follows.
(1) Predetermining means instead of the predetermining means 34c is configured by a computer of the effect control board 23, that is, provided in the game effect control means 60. In the computer of the game control board 21, the advance determination means 34 c can be omitted, and when the special figure determination information is acquired, a special figure hold increase command including the special figure determination information is transmitted to the effect control board 23.

  In the game effect control means 60, the special figure determination information included in the special figure hold increase command received from the effect control board 23 is stored as it is in the prior decision information storage means 65 as information to be replaced with the prior decision information, and the game effect is obtained. Based on the information stored in the preliminary determination information storage unit 65, the preliminary determination unit provided in the control unit 60 performs the same preliminary determination as that of the preliminary determination unit 34c. In particular, when the gaming state changes, it is possible to make an appropriate prior determination according to the current gaming state at any time and reflect it in the gaming effect.

(2) The roulette effect (the suggested game effect, the continuous game effect, and the pre-determined game effect) is merely disclosed as an example in the embodiment, and can be effected in various other forms. For example, in the said Example, although it is set as the effect performed in cooperation with effect button SW6, it is set as effect if effect button SW6 is not used.

(3) After the suggested game production, the first period of 1R to 5R and 6R of the predetermined period (the period of performing 5R long-term release + 11R short-term release game in special game C, the special game D of 16R long-term release) After elapse of the period until the big winning opening 13a is fully opened, the continuous game effect and the pre-determined game effect are performed.

  Here, there is no need to make the suggestion game effect, the continuous game effect, and the pre-determined game effect as a series of effects (the roulette effect), and the execution timing of the continuous game effect and the pre-determined game effect is, for example, In the special game C, when the special game is ending, or when the special symbol is changed after the special game is displayed, and in the special game D, the 6R first big prize opening 13a is opened after the full opening. At the time of a game, at the time of ending the special game, or at the time of displaying a special symbol after the special game ends.

(4) Before the game ball passes through the specific area 14f (1R to 4R), the suggested game effect and the continuous game effect are performed. Here, assuming that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f (on the 5th R), the above-described predetermined game effect may also be performed.

(5) A suggestion game effect that suggests whether or not the advantageous state continues (special game D is being performed) and a suggestion game effect that indicates whether or not the special game effect is to be performed after the special game ends And do it separately. For example, when the special game D is being performed, the former suggestion game effect is performed at the 5R as in the above-described embodiment, and the latter suggestion game effect is performed at the 16R.

(6) Even when a special game is played from the “low probability / non-short-time state” (that is, when any of special games A and B is played), the suggested game effect, the continuous game effect, A prior determination game effect may be performed.
(7) When the special game is being performed, the special game effect is performed after the special game is finished without causing the suggestion game effect or the preliminary determination game effect to be performed.
(8) There is no need to determine the variation time of the special symbol as the specific variation time (5 seconds) until the special symbol of the predetermined number of times (4 times) is variably displayed after the end of the special game. A variation time other than 5 seconds) is determined, and the special game effect is performed there.

(9) Regarding the display of the special game suggestion symbol 73 during the special game, in addition to the translucent “special” “16R”, the semitransparent “?” “!!” special game suggestion symbol 73 can be displayed. During a special game, a button operation instruction effect that indicates either “single press”, “continuous hit”, or “long press” is performed, and an effect button is displayed by any of the indicated “single press”, “continuous hit”, or “long press” When the SW 6a is operated, the display may be changed from a translucent “?” Or “!!” to a translucent “5R” or “16R” special game suggestion symbol 73. In this case, the degree of expectation of the display change to the semi-transparent “5R” or “16R” special game suggestion symbol 73 may be increased in the order of “single press” → “continuous hit” → “long press”.

(10) The special game history symbol 70, the special game related symbol 72, and the special game suggestion symbols 71 and 73 may be various symbols other than those described above. However, it is preferable that the special game suggestion symbols 71 and 73 are similar to the special game history symbol 70 and the special game relevant symbol 72, or a symbol suggesting the special game history symbol 70 and the special game relevant symbol 72.

  In addition, various modifications other than the disclosed items can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Further, the present invention can be applied to other various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines.

  For example, in this pachinko machine serving as an ST machine, when a small hit is made from the “low-probability / non-short-time state”, the big-hit probability is set to a low probability after the small-hit game ends (the “low-probability / non-short-time state” is When the jackpot is hit, the jackpot probability is set to a high probability after completion of the jackpot game at a rate of 100% regardless of the type of jackpot ("highly accurate / short-time state" is set) Adoption is conceivable. The small hit may be eliminated.

  Alternatively, in the above-described embodiment, when the big hit probability is set to a high probability (“high accuracy / short time state” is set), the number of special figure fluctuations is a realistic number (for example, about 110 times) without a big hit. ), The setting is changed to a low probability (“Less probable / non-time-short state”), and the probability of a big hit within the number of times that the big hit probability is set to a high probability (for example, about 110 times) is several 10% (for example, In this example, the present invention is applied to a so-called ST machine that is about 70 to 75%). 10000 times), the present invention may be applied to a so-called loop machine in which the setting is changed to a low probability, that is, the high probability is substantially continuously set until the next big hit.
