[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment according to a pachinko gaming machine 10 to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the game area R1 of the game board 11 is visible through a glass window 10W provided on the front surface. Below the glass window 10W, an upper plate 26 and a lower plate 27 are provided in two upper and lower stages, and an operation knob 28 is provided on the right side of the lower plate 27. When the operation knob 28 is rotated, the game ball in the upper plate 26 is driven into the game area R1.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a display window is formed through the center of the game area R1 of the game board 11, and a display 30 as a “display unit” of the present invention is provided on the back side. In addition, a display decoration frame 23 is fitted into the display window from the front side, and the upper side portion and both side portions of the display decoration frame 23 protrude forward from the front surface of the game board 11, and a game ball flows down in front of the display 30. Is prohibited. Further, the display decoration frame 23 divides the game area R1 into a left flow area Ra and a right flow area Rb in the left-right direction, and is divided into an upper communication passage 21 and a lower flow area Rc in the vertical direction. Then, by operating the operation knob 28, it is possible to determine whether to perform a “left-handed game” that causes the game ball to flow down to the left-side down area Ra, to flow down into the right-side down area Rb, or to perform a “right-handed game”. it can.

  In the right flow area Rb, a start gate 18, a general winning opening 18A, and a sub-large winning opening 18B are provided in order from the top, and a main part is located on the right side in the lower flowing area Rc below the sub large winning opening 18B. A big prize opening 15 is provided. Furthermore, a first start winning port 14A, a second start winning port 14B, and an out port 16 are provided in order from the top in the center of the lower flow region Rc in the left-right direction.

  The starting gate 18 has a structure through which a game ball can pass inside, and the general winning opening 18A and the first starting winning opening 14A are always open upward.

  The second start winning opening 14B is normally closed only by the opening / closing door 14T toward the right side. When a win / fail decision is made each time the game ball passes through the start gate 18 (hereinafter referred to as “common figure determination”), the open / close door 14T is opened for a predetermined period, and the game ball can be won. .

  The main prize winning opening 15 is opened in the shape of a horizontally long rectangle on the front surface of the game board 11 and is normally closed by a door 15T. Further, the sub special winning opening 18B has a width smaller than that of the main special winning opening 15, opens toward the front surface of the game board 11, and is closed by the door 18T. Then, when the winning / failing determination (hereinafter referred to as “special drawing determination”) performed according to the winning at the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B is won, a big hit game described later is executed and the main winning game is executed. Either the big prize opening 15 or the sub big prize opening 18B is opened. At that time, the main big prize opening 15 is opened so that the door 15T falls forward, and the door 15T is guided to accept a game ball, and the sub big prize opening 18B is opened while being retracted inside. A guide piece (not shown) protrudes forward and receives the game ball with the guide piece as a guide (or opens like the main prize winning opening 15 so that the door 18T falls forward, and guides the door 18T to guide the game ball. Acceptable configuration).

  Each time a game ball wins the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B, the general winning port 18A, the main big winning port 15 and the sub big winning port 18B, a predetermined plurality of prize balls as a winning ball from a payout device (not shown). A game ball is paid out to the lower plate 27. Specifically, with respect to the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B and the general winning port 18A, four game balls are paid out to the lower plate 27 for one game ball winning, and the main size With respect to the winning opening 15 and the sub large winning opening 18B, 15 game balls are paid out to the lower plate 27 for one winning. In this embodiment, the big hit game corresponds to the “special game” according to the present invention, the main big prize opening 15 and the sub big prize opening 18 correspond to the “special prize opening” according to the present invention, and the main big prize. The payout device for paying out the winning balls in response to winning in the mouth 15 and the sub-large winning opening 18B corresponds to the “paying means” according to the present invention.

  The above-described common figure determination and special figure determination are performed by using a random number by a CPU mounted on a main control board (not shown) of the pachinko gaming machine 10. In the present embodiment, the CPU when performing the special figure determination corresponds to the “win / fail determination means” according to the present invention.

  The determination result of the normal map determination is notified as follows. In other words, a universal map (not shown) indicating any of the numbers “0” to “9”, for example, is displayed on the display 30 by switching (changing display) for a predetermined time, and then stopped and displayed. Whether or not the determination result of the normal map determination is a win is notified depending on whether the normal map is an odd number or an even number. In addition, the common figure determination is performed each time (cause) the game ball passes through the start gate 18 as described above, but when the game ball passes through the start gate 18 while the normal symbol is switched on the display 30. Is reserved for the right to make a determination of the usual figure generated by the passing of the game ball to the start gate 18 (hereinafter referred to as “the right to decide a common figure”). Then, after the normal symbol being switched and displayed is stopped and the determination result is notified, the normal symbol determination right that has been put on hold is used, and the normal symbol switching display is newly started.

  On the other hand, the determination result of the special figure determination is notified as follows. In other words, for example, special figures 13A, 13B, and 13C (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 5A) in which any one of the numbers “0” to “9” is displayed on the display 30 are arranged side by side. And then scrolled up and down for a predetermined time and then stopped. Then, whether or not the determination result of the special figure determination is a win is notified depending on whether or not the symbol combination of the special figures 13A, 13B, and 13C that is stopped and displayed is a flat eye. In addition, the special figure determination is performed every time the game ball wins the first or second start winning opening 14A, 14B as described above, while the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are displayed on the display 30 in a variable manner. Alternatively, when a game ball wins the first or second start winning opening 14A, 14B during the big hit game described below, a right to perform a special figure determination generated by the winning (hereinafter referred to as “special”). A maximum of four figure determination rights) are reserved. Then, when the condition that the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are not being displayed and the jackpot game is not established, the reserved special symbol determination right is used, and the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C variable display is started. In the present embodiment, the CPU, the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B when performing the variable display of special figure determination and the jackpot game correspond to the “holding means” according to the present invention and are held. “4”, which is the upper limit number of special figure determination rights (the number excluding the change), corresponds to the “reserved upper limit number” according to the present invention.

  When the determination result of the special figure determination is a round, that is, a win, a big hit game including a plurality of round games is executed. Here, a period from when one of the main or sub large winning openings 15, 18B is opened until it is closed is one round, and a game in each round is a round game. And the big hit game of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a four round big hit game constituted by four rounds and a 16 round big hit game constituted by sixteen rounds.

  Further, after the main and sub large winning openings 15, 18B are opened, either the opening time has reached the specified opening time of 30 seconds, or the winning number has reached the upper limit winning number of 10 balls. It closes when either is established. Each time one game ball is won in the main and sub large winning openings 15, 18B, 15 prize balls are discharged as described above, so that the maximum prize that a player can obtain by one round of digestion is discharged. The number of balls is 150 (= 10 × 15). However, the eleventh and subsequent game balls may win during the period from the detection of the tenth winning ball to the main and sub large winning openings 15, 18B until the doors 15, 18T close. In that case, the winning balls for the 11th and subsequent balls are also paid out. In the present embodiment, the CPU, main and sub big winning openings 15, 18B when the big hit game is performed correspond to "special game execution means" according to the present invention.

  In the case of special figure judgment, after the big hit game, the probability of hitting in the special figure judgment is high "probability change state" and "probability big hit" after the big hit game, the probability of hitting in the special figure judgment is low "normal state" "Normal big hit" is provided. In addition, after the big hit game, the time for notifying the determination result of the normal determination is shorter and the time for opening the opening / closing door 14T of the second start winning opening 14B is longer than the normal state. There is a case where the probability of winning in the special figure determination is low, but it is a “low probability short time state” in which the short time state is reached.

  In addition, there is a higher probability that the special figure determination by winning from the first start winning opening 14A to the second starting winning opening 14B will be “probable big hit”. In order to win more prize balls, it is preferable that the game is aimed at the first start winning opening 14A (left-handed) because the open / close door 14T of the second starting winning opening 14B is difficult to open in the normal state. In this case, since the opening / closing door 14T of the second start winning opening 14B is easy to open when it is in a certain change state, it is preferable to divide the game so that the game is aimed at the second start winning opening 14B (right-handed). The specification is such that more prize balls can be acquired as the state lasts longer.

  Next, the contents of the display effect displayed on the display 30 will be described. First, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the background image displayed on the display 30 is different between the normal state and the probability variation state. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 10 performs display effects on the theme of boat racing, for example, and in a normal state, for example, a group photo of boat racers is a background image (not shown; hereinafter, On the other hand, in the probability change state, for example, a background image (not shown) immediately before the start of a race in which a plurality of boats stand by at the start position (hereinafter referred to as “probability change background image”) is displayed. ) Is displayed on the display 30. Further, in each of the normal state and the probability variation state, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed at positions obtained by dividing the screen of the display 30 into three equal parts in a horizontal direction so as to overlap each background image. Then, the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are scroll-displayed in the vertical direction.

  In the normal state, regardless of whether the determination result of the special figure determination is a normal big hit or a probable big hit, when the big hit game is executed, for example, an image of the entire racetrack where the boat race is performed (hereinafter referred to as a big hit effect image) , Referred to as “race production image”). When the big hit is normal, the normal background image is displayed again after the big hit game is finished, and when the big hit game is finished, the probability changed background image is displayed after the big hit game is finished.

  On the other hand, in the probability variation state, as shown in FIG. 3, the effect image in the big hit gaming state differs depending on whether the determination result of the special figure determination is a normal big hit or a probable big hit, and the case where the big hit effect image is a probable big hit. There are multiple types of big hit effect images. In the jackpot effect image, the maximum number of winning balls that the player can acquire during a predetermined number of round games in the jackpot game is displayed as a round-related score (maximum points that can be acquired) in advance. At the same time, there is also an effect that displays the points that are the number of prize balls actually won by the player for the number of points related to rounds that can be earned. There is an effect to perform, and this point is also different from the normal state.

  First, the number of round-related acquirable points will be described. The number of round-related acquirable points in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is the maximum number of winning balls that a player can acquire by winning the main and sub large winning openings 15, 18B by digesting two or more rounds. (Hereinafter, this round for displaying the number of points related to the round-related acquisition is referred to as a specific number of rounds). As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a 4-round jackpot game and a 16-round jackpot game. For the 4-round jackpot game, all four rounds are specified. In addition to the number of round-related points that can be earned in several rounds, the two rounds in the first half and the second half in the second half are displayed in order to display the number of points related to rounds that can be divided into two during one big hit game. There is a number of points related to rounds that can be earned with a specific number of rounds. Similarly, for the 16-round jackpot game, in addition to the number of round-related points that can be obtained with a specific number of rounds, the 16 rounds that are all rounds, the number of round-related points that can be earned is divided into multiple times during a single jackpot game. In order to display, the entire round constituting the jackpot game is divided into a plurality of specific number of rounds (for example, 2, 4, 4, 6) by a preset scenario, lottery, etc., and rounds for each specific number of rounds. The related earnable points are set.

  Then, before each specific number of rounds is started, the number of round-related acquirable points for the specific number of rounds is displayed on the display 30. That is, in the jackpot game, the number of round-related acquirable points with a specific number of rounds is displayed first by lottery prior to the execution of the jackpot game, and the determined round-related acquirable points. The number is displayed after the end of the scroll display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C and before the jackpot game is executed.

  For example, in a 4-round jackpot game, the number of round-related acquirable points with 4 rounds as a specific number of rounds (hereinafter referred to as “4 rounds of round-related acquirable points” when the specific number is a specific number) Whether to display the number of points related to rounds that can be obtained in two rounds is determined in advance by lottery and displayed before the big hit game is executed. At this time, when the number of points related to the rounds of the first two rounds is displayed, at the start of the final round in the two rounds of the first half, the number of points related to the latter two rounds is added to the number of points related to the rounds of the first half The number of points related to rounds that can be earned is added (added) and displayed.

  In addition, in the 16-round jackpot game, there are rounds that may be added to the number of round-related acquirable points as a specific number of rounds in each stage, in addition to the first, and a fixed addition display (fixed number) It is decided by lottery whether to add (+ α) or add (+ α) to the addition of a fixed number or a fixed number, and in the case of adding, at the start of the round, the determined number of round-related earnable points can be obtained in the previous round Add to the number of points and display.

  Specifically, the CPU mounted on the sub control board mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 10 draws arbitrary point display control data from the data table as shown in FIG. 4, and the lottery point display control data is selected. Based on the number of rounds, the number of round-related acquirable points is determined by lottery. The point display control data group includes the above-mentioned two types of jackpot games for the first maximum number of rounds (four rounds in this embodiment) and the second maximum number of rounds (16 rounds in this embodiment). There are a total of 84 types, including 82 types for jackpot games, and some of them are shown in FIG. This point display control data corresponds to the “round configuration option” of the present invention. In addition, the round marked with “*” in each point display control data in FIG. 4 means a round in which the number of round-related acquirable points is always displayed at the start of the round, and is described as “final”. The round is a round that displays the number of special game-related earnable points (final earnable points), which is the total number of round-related earnable points in one big hit game. If the number of special game-related points that can be earned is not displayed by the round indicated as “final”, the number of points that can be earned is added by the addition effect to obtain the number of points that can be obtained for special games. It is configured to display. Also, immediately before the number of round-related acquirable points is added and displayed, an effect is given to display a “display preview image” to be described later, which is described as “GASE” in each point display control data of FIG. A round that is expected to be added and displayed by displaying a “display preview image” means a round in which the “display preview image” causes a failure effect and the number of round-related acquirable points is not added and displayed. For rounds without a “*” mark and only “Lottery”, the number of rounds that can be added is determined by lottery, and round-related acquirable points corresponding to any specific number of rounds based on the lottery result The number may be displayed in addition, but the result of the lottery may not be added, in which case the round-related earned points may not be displayed, meaning that the round-related earned points are not displayed Further, there are a case where the “display preview image” is displayed and the same content as the above “gase” is displayed, and the case where the “display preview image” is not displayed. However, if the number of points related to rounds that can be earned is displayed only up to that round, the number of points related to rounds must be ensured so that the number of earned points (numerator) does not exceed the number of points related to rounds (denominator). Is added and displayed.

  In addition, since the number of points that can be earned for special games must already be displayed for the rounds that are marked “Lottery” after the round that is marked “Final”, the number of points that can be earned for rounds must be displayed. Will not be round. In addition, a round with “*” mark and described as “lottery” means a round in which the number of round-related acquirable points of a specific number of rounds is always added and displayed. In the present embodiment, “2R” There are “over” and “4R or higher”, and “2R or higher” means a round in which the number of round-related acquirable points for a certain number of rounds is always added and displayed, and “4R or higher” It means a round in which the number of points related to the number of round-related acquirable points of a specific number of rounds of 4 or more is always added and displayed. In these rounds, “2R” and “4R” are set as fixed rounds, and the total number of rounds of the fixed rounds and the number of rounds determined by lottery is set as the specific number. And, in order from the first round of the jackpot game, the specific number will be lottered so as to satisfy the above conditions (up to the maximum number of rounds of the jackpot game minus the fixed round number and the number of already drawn lots) Determined by. That is, a lottery is to be drawn from the number excluding the fixed round number from the beginning.

  Then, as described above, the maximum number of winning balls that can be obtained by a player after one round of digestion is the maximum number of winning balls in one round (150 balls (= 10 (one round end condition)). (The number of wins) x 15 (the number of winning balls in a single win))) If the number of round-related acquirable points displayed at the start of the first round is 300 for two rounds, The maximum number of acquired points is 150, and if the second round is digested as it is, the maximum number of acquired points is 300, and the number of acquired points may reach the number of points that can be acquired related to the round. In the embodiment, in order to prevent the number of earned points from reaching the number of round-related acquirable points during the big hit game, in the above example, the second round A lottery for addition display is performed before the beginning, and the displayed number of round-related acquirable points is controlled to be larger than the maximum value of the number of acquired points up to the fourth round where the next lottery is performed. That is, in this case, the specific number is drawn so that the specific number round becomes 2 rounds or more, and a value obtained by multiplying the value by 150 is determined as the number of round-related acquirable points. The specific number of rounds (the number of rounds (including one round) that takes into account the time required for additional effects) is 2 or more, so the number of round-related points that can be acquired is at least “300”, and round-related points can be acquired. The minimum value of the number of points is “300”, and the maximum value (number of points that can be acquired for special games) is “2400”.

  Specifically, the point display control data at the bottom of the data table of FIG. 4 always displays the number of points related to rounds that can be acquired in two or more specific number of rounds before the start of the big hit game. It is set to always display the number of round-related points that can be acquired for a specific number of rounds of 4 or more, and to display the number of points related to rounds of a specific number of rounds of 4 or more in the 10th round. For the number of round-related acquirable points displayed at the time of (big start), an arbitrary value is drawn as a specific number from 2 to 8 (= 16-4-4). In other words, the number of rounds necessary for the addition effect is 2 or more, and lottery is performed within 8 or less, which is a number obtained by excluding the fixed round number from all rounds. If the lottery result is “2”, for example, a value of 300 is displayed as the number of round-related acquirable points, assuming that points for two rounds can be acquired. A lottery is performed in the second round. Since a fixed round is not set for this lottery, there may be 0 as a specific number. However, if it progresses as it is, the number of points related to rounds that can be obtained for the second round will be 2 rounds until the next round. Since it will remain below the maximum value of the number of acquired points, control is always performed so that two rounds can be added (added). Therefore, an arbitrary value is randomly selected as a specific number from 2 (number of rounds necessary for addition effect) to 6 (= 14-4-4) for round-related acquirable points. For example, if the lottery result is “4”, the round-related acquirable points (300) for 2 rounds displayed first between the 2nd and 3rd rounds can be obtained for 4 rounds. An effect (300 + 600) of adding (+600) the number of points is performed. Then, the lottery is performed in the fourth round. At that time, since the number of points related to rounds that can be obtained up to six rounds is set, in the fourth round, from 0 to 4 (= 10-4-4) or less. An arbitrary value is drawn as a specific number. For example, if the lottery result is “0”, no additional effect is performed in the fourth round (including the additional failure effect), and the current number of points related to the round (900) is displayed up to the sixth round. The In the sixth round, “4R” is set as the fixed round, so an arbitrary value is selected as a specific number from the values of 4 or more and 6 (= 10−4). Add the value drawn in the above 2 or less to make a specific number). For example, if the lottery result is “4” (fixed round number “4” + lottery number “0”), the number of round-related acquirable points displayed between the sixth and seventh rounds (900) The effect (900 + 600) is added (+600) to the number of round-related acquirable points for 4 rounds. As a result of this addition effect, a value (1500) for 10 rounds is displayed as the number of round-related acquirable points. Then, the lottery is performed again in the eighth round. In the eighth round, an arbitrary value is selected as a specific number from a value of 2 (= 6-4) or less. For example, when the lottery result is “0”, no additional effect is performed in the eighth round (including the additional failure effect), and the current number of points related to the round (1500) that can be acquired up to the tenth round is displayed. The In the tenth round, “4R” is set as a fixed round, so an arbitrary value is selected as a specific number from 4 to 6 (= 10−4). For example, when the lottery result is “6”, the round-related acquirable points for 6 rounds are added to the number of round-related acquirable points (1500) for 10 rounds displayed between the 10th and 11th rounds. By performing the effect (1500 + 900) of adding the number (+900), the number of special game-related earnable points (2400) in this jackpot (for 16 rounds) is displayed, so the 12th and 14th rounds are displayed. Then, the addition effect is not performed (including the addition failure effect), and the specific number is fixed to “0”. In addition, in this embodiment, since an additional effect spends 2 rounds, even numbers of 2 rounds or more are added as a specific number by lottery, but odd numbers of 1 round or more are set as a specific number by lottery. May be.

  When the number of round-related points that can be acquired is displayed on the display 30, the number of winning balls actually won by the player by winning the main or sub large winning openings 15, 18B is displayed as the number of acquired points. Is done. Further, as described above, the eleventh and subsequent balls are detected after the upper limit winning number (tenth ball) is detected in the main and sub large winning holes 15, 18B until the doors 15, 18T are closed. In this case, the winning balls for the 11th and subsequent balls are paid out, but the winning balls for the 11th and subsequent balls are not counted in the number of points earned. Furthermore, game balls that are paid out by winning in the first and second start winning openings 14A, 14B and the general winning opening 18A during the big hit game are not counted in the number of earned points. Therefore, at the time of digestion for one round, the number of earned points corresponding to the maximum number of winnings for one round is displayed.

  By the way, in the probability variation state, the player can obtain the most prize balls when the game progresses along the flow of the portion surrounded by the thick square in FIG. 3 (hereinafter referred to as a winning pattern). . Then, in order to enhance the player's psychology when the winning pattern is reached, an effect image using the number of round-related acquirable points described above is displayed on the display 30, an example of which is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. It is shown. Specifically, in the probability variation state, when the determination result of the special figure determination becomes a probability variation big hit, after the scroll display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is finished (see FIGS. 5A and 5B). An image (not shown) indicating that the race has started is displayed, and then, for example, a display preview image (see FIG. 5C) in which the boat turns around a corner is displayed, and then FIG. ), For example, a numerical value “+300” is displayed in the center of the screen as the number of round-related acquirable points. This display preview image corresponds to the “regulated effect image” of the present invention.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (E), the image changes to the subjective point of view of the boat racer on the boat being raced, and the scenery flows backward with the tip of the boat 100 (hereinafter referred to as “full power zone”). "Image") is displayed. In addition, “300” of the round-related acquirable points described above is displayed as a denominator of the fraction in the upper right of the screen so as to be superimposed on the full power zone image, and “0” as the acquired points is displayed in the numerator. Further, the symbol combination of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C that are won is displayed on the upper left of the screen. Then, when the player wins a winning ball by winning the main or sub large winning opening 15, 18B, as shown in FIG. 5 (F) and FIG. 5 (G), according to the winning ball. The number of points earned will increase. At this time, a total earned point (not shown) may be displayed in the lower right of the screen separately from the display of the number of obtainable points and the number of earned points. In the total earned points, the accumulated number of points earned by winning the main or sub large winning openings 15, 18B on that day (after power-on) of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is displayed. For this reason, the cumulative display is made in conjunction with the earned points based on the winnings to the big winning openings 15, 18B, but the excess / deficiency correction is not made in accordance with the upper limit for one round, which will be described later, and the number won. Combined total display is performed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (H), at the end of one round, after the display preview image in which the boat turns around the corner is displayed again, as shown in FIG. For example, a numerical value “+600” (for 4 rounds) is displayed as a number, and the display is switched to the full power zone image, and “600” (for 4 rounds) is added to “300” (for 2 rounds) of the denominator in the upper right of the screen. The result is added to “900” (6 rounds) (see FIG. 5J). Here, the number of earned points, which is the numerator of the fraction in the upper right of the screen, increases according to the actual number of winning balls, but the actual number of earned points for each round is the number of points related to each round that can be earned. When “150” is insufficient, the shortage point is added to the number of acquired points at the end of the round in which shortage occurred. Therefore, even if a shortage occurs, the number of points earned corresponding to the maximum number of winnings for one round is displayed when one round is consumed. At this time, this shortage point is not added to the total earned points.

  Similarly, after the display notice image that the boat turns around the corner is displayed, the number of points related to rounds that can be earned is displayed in the center of the screen. The effect is added, and finally, the denominator of the fraction is raised to “2400” (FIG. 6A). In addition, the number of acquired points, which are fractional numerators, on the upper right side of the screen increases in accordance with the number of winning prize balls (FIG. 6A). In other words, this fraction means the degree of achievement of the number of earned points with respect to the number of acquirable points related to the round. In the present embodiment, the display 30 for displaying the fraction corresponds to the “maximum acquirable point display means” and the “reach level display means” according to the present invention, and the full power zone image is the “addition effect image” according to the present invention. It corresponds to. In addition, it may be displayed as the achievement level that is obtained by subtracting the actual number of earned points from the number of round-related earnable points. Alternatively, a display form other than that may be used as the achievement level display.

  When the big hit game ends, if there is a special figure determination right pending at the end of the game, the state of displaying the number of acquisition points at the upper right of the all power zone image and the number of points related to round-related acquisition is maintained, and the image is overlaid on the image. As shown in FIG. 6C, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are scroll-displayed at positions obtained by dividing the screen of the display 30 into three equal parts. As long as the suspension of the special figure determination right is not interrupted, until the determination result becomes a hit, the image for stopping and displaying the determination result is repeatedly displayed after the special symbols 13A, 13B and 13C are scrolled up to four times at most. (FIG. 6D to FIG. 6J). When the determination result up to the maximum possible number of holds (4 times) is a win, as shown in FIGS. 6 (K) to 6 (N), when the big hit game is executed, from the end of the previous big hit game The number of acquired points and round-related acquirable points in the upper right of the displayed screen are inherited, and the number of acquired points and round-related acquirable points are newly added to the number of acquired points and round-related acquirable points . After the jackpot game is over, the maximum and maximum number of holds (4 times) until the judgment result is successful, as long as the special figure judgment right is not suspended, as with the end of the previous jackpot game. Until the determination result is notified. The above is the contents of the display effect when the game of the winning pattern is performed along the flow of the portion surrounded by the thick line square in FIG.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3, when the determination result of the special figure determination performed in the probability variation state is a probability variation big hit, a god zone image (see symbol a in FIG. 3) is displayed instead of the full power zone image. Sometimes. The god zone image has the same image structure as the full power zone image, and the scenery flows backward at a faster speed than the full power zone image. When the god zone image is displayed, the full power zone image is displayed. Similarly, the number of round-related acquirable points and the number of earned points are displayed during the execution of the big hit game. However, the jackpot game displaying the god zone image displays the special game-related acquirable point number (2400) at the start of the jackpot game and suddenly notifies that it is around 16 rounds, so no additional effect is performed. After the big hit game ends, even if the special figure determination right is suspended, the god zone image disappears and returns to the probability change background image. When returning to the probability changing background image, the display of the number of acquired points and the number of round-related acquirable points is also erased and reset.

  Further, when the result of the special figure determination performed in the probability variation state is a probability variation big hit, the above-described race effect image displayed when the normal big hit and the probability variation big hit are obtained in the normal state instead of the full power zone image. (See symbol b in FIG. 3) may be displayed. In this case, when the race effect image is displayed, the display of the number of acquired points and the number of points related to the round-related acquisition is erased and reset. Return to the background image.

  If the hit result is not shown in the notification of the determination result up to 4 times after the big hit game in which the full power zone image is displayed (see symbol c in FIG. 3), the full power zone image disappears and returns to the probability change background image, and the acquisition points The display of the number and the number of points related to rounds are also erased and reset. In addition, when the judgment result is notified up to four times, when a normal big hit or a latent big hit (a big hit is made after the big hit game but the player is not informed of this) (see symbol d in FIG. 3). The above-described race effect image (see symbol b in FIG. 3) is displayed, and the display of the number of acquired points and the number of round-related acquired points is erased and reset. Then, after the big hit game is finished, a short time background image which means that the low probability short time state is displayed.

  The above is description other than the control flow of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. Next, the operation and effect of the present invention in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described, and then the control flow will be described in detail.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of round-related acquirable points based on the maximum number of winning balls that can be obtained in a specific number of rounds and the actual number of points related to the round-related acquirable points are actually obtained. The degree of achievement achieved by the number of earned points is displayed, so that the player knows how much prize balls have actually been earned, can digest each round with a sense of tension, and can actually earn up to the number of points related to rounds You can get a sense of accomplishment when you win. In addition, the power zone image is displayed on the display 30 during the execution of the big hit game in which the number of round-related earnable points is added, and even if the big hit game ends, a predetermined number after the big hit game (in this embodiment, the upper limit number of holdings) ) During the variable display (while there is a hold memory, while the predetermined number of hit / no-go judgments are performed by the hold / no-go judgment right), the full power zone image is continuously displayed on the display unit. It is possible to have a feeling that the profit state continues after the end of the big hit game.

  In addition, when a big hit game is executed in which the next full power zone image is displayed in the success / fail judgment while the full power zone image is displayed, the next round-related earnable point number of the previous big hit game is The number of points that can be earned for rounds in the big hit game is displayed during the big hit game (in succession to the previous number of points), so multiple big hit games are combined into a single big hit game based on the full power zone image. It is possible to make the player feel the feeling that has been assigned. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the preference during the big hit game.

  Next, the processing of the sub control circuit main program PG1 executed by the sub control circuit of the pachinko gaming machine 10 related to the full power zone effect for displaying the full power zone image described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Explain in detail. The sub control circuit main program PG1 receives a command from the main control circuit, executes a process corresponding to the command and determines the effect content, and transmits the determined effect content to the liquid crystal control circuit. Note that the processing executed by the main control circuit of the main control board is the same as the conventional one and will not be described in detail.

  In the sub control circuit main program PG1, first, CPU initialization processing (S1) is performed. In this process, an interrupt process to be described later is set. When power is turned on to the power supply board, a power-off signal is transmitted from the power supply board to the sub-control circuit. When this power-off signal is transmitted, it is determined whether the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM are normal (S2). If normal (Yes in S2), the process proceeds to the next. If not normal (No in S2), the RAM is initialized and various flags and counter values are reset (S3). When the above processing (S1 to S3) is completed, the watchdog timer counters 1 and 2 are initialized (S4). Note that these steps S1 to S4 are executed only when the sub control circuit main program PG1 is run for the first time after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

  When the initial setting is completed by S1 to S4, interruption is prohibited (S5), and random number seed update processing (S6) is executed. Next, a command transmission process (S7) for transmitting various commands to the liquid crystal control circuit, the lamp control circuit, and the voice control circuit is executed, the watchdog timer counter 1 is initialized (S8), and an interrupt is permitted (S9). . These processes (S5-9) are repeated in an infinite loop.

  Reception interrupt processing (S10), 2ms timer interrupt processing (S11), and 10ms timer interrupt processing (S12) are interrupted and executed for the infinite loop of the sub control circuit main program PG1. When the sub control circuit receives the strobe signal from the main control circuit, the reception interrupt process (S10) is executed in preference to the other interrupt processes (S11, S12). The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S11) is executed in preference to the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S12), and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S12) is executed by interrupting the remaining time between the 2 ms timer interrupt processes (S11). The

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the reception interrupt process (S10), first, the strobe signal is checked (S20). If the strobe signal is not ON (No in S20), the process exits (S10) as it is. If the strobe signal is ON (Yes in S20), the command and control signal received from the main control circuit (data relating to variation mode and special symbol determination) are stored in the RAM (S21).

  The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S11) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a 2 msec period is input to the sub-control circuit. As shown in FIG. 9, in this process (S11), an input process (S22), a ramp data output process (S23), a drive process (S24), and a watchdog timer process (S25) are performed.

  In the input process (S22), edge data and level data (switch data) of an operation switch for presentation (not shown) provided in the gaming machine 10 are created. In the lamp data output process (S23), the lamp data created in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S12) described later is output. In the drive process (S24), drive data for driving an electric accessory (not shown) is created and output. In the watchdog timer process (S25), the watchdog timer is reset.

  The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S12) is repeatedly executed with an interval of 10 msec. As shown in FIG. 10, in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S12), a main command analysis process (S26), other processes (S27), and initialization of the watchdog timer counter 2 (S28) are executed in order.

  Details of the main command analysis process (S26) are shown in FIG. In this process (S26), first, it is determined whether or not the sub control circuit has received a command from the main control circuit (S30). If a command has been received (Yes in S30), the type of the received command (hereinafter referred to as “reception command” as appropriate) is determined, and processing is executed based on the content. The type of received command is determined based on the type of received command by determining whether it is a spec setting command, symbol command, variation command, round command, interval command, big prize prize ball command, and other commands. After the above process is executed, the other process (S44) corresponding to the received command is executed. In the other process (S44), for example, when a hold command is received, the hold command process is executed. Although the hold command processing is not shown, the hold information is stored.

  Specifically, when the received command is a spec setting command (Yes in S31), the number of winning balls for the big winning mouth stored in the spec setting command and the maximum number of winning balls for finishing the opening of the big winning mouth are stored in the RAM. (S32, S33). That is, control based on the specification information stored in the main control board is performed. This specification setting command is received when the power is turned on, when the power is restored, and when the game state is changed (for example, from the normal state to the probability change state, from the probability change state to the short time state, etc.).

  If the received command is not a spec setting command (No in S31), but is a symbol command (Yes in S34), symbol information stored in the symbol command (symbol information determined by the main control board (for example, if it is a big hit) (S34) is stored in the RAM (S34), and in the case of a variable command (Yes in S36), the variable command process (S37) is executed, and in the case of a round command (S38) If yes, the round command process (S39) is executed, if it is an interval command (Yes in S40), the interval command process (S41) is executed, and if it is a big prize winning ball command (Yes in S42), The big prize mouth ball command processing (S43) is executed. Hereinafter, each processing will be described.

  First, the fluctuation command process (S37) executed when the received command is a fluctuation command (Yes in S36 of FIG. 11) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S37), the start and end of the full power zone effect described above at the time of determination symbol variation are determined and set.

  Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation is a big hit fluctuation (S50). If the fluctuation is a big hit fluctuation (Yes in S50), it is determined whether or not the production during the big hit game is a full power zone production ( S51). If it is a full power zone effect (Yes in S51), it is determined whether or not the full power zone flag is OFF (S52). If it is OFF (Yes in S52), a full power zone image is displayed as the background of the effect. Set. Next, as the initial setting of the full power zone effect, “0” is set to the number of undigested rounds (S54), the full power zone flag is turned ON (S55), and “4” is set as a predetermined number in the full power zone counter (in this embodiment). The maximum holdable number of the first start winning port 14A or the second starting winning port 14B is set (S56). Here, the number of unsettled rounds means the number of unsettled rounds among rounds that can be reflected in the number of points that can be acquired related to the round, and the full power zone counter means the number of fluctuations in which the full power zone effect is continued after the big hit game ends. The full power zone flag is a parameter for setting the background of the effect. Next, based on the symbol information set prior to this processing (S37), a round scenario (one scenario among the above-described round configuration options) is set (S57), and an additional round can be added based on the round scenario. A number is set (S58). The number of rounds that can be added at this time is constituted by “the number obtained by subtracting the number of fixed rounds for always adding and displaying the above-mentioned number of round-related acquirable points” from the jackpot game. Next, an extra round lottery process (S59) is executed.

  In the round addition process (S59) shown in FIG. 16, it is determined whether or not to perform the above-described addition effect based on the set scenario, and when the addition effect is performed, the number of rounds is transmitted to the liquid crystal control circuit. To do. Specifically, first, the round scenario set in the variation command process (S37) is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the round to be processed is the “final” round (S110). If the target round is “final” (Yes in S110), the number of rounds that can be added to the number of additional rounds is set as it is (all) (S111), and the number of rounds that can be added is set to “0” ( S112). When the target round is not “final” (No in S110), it is determined whether or not the round to be processed is “lottery” (when there is no final addition) (S113). If there is (Yes in S113), it is determined whether the number of undigested rounds is added or less than the minimum number of rounds (S114). Here, the minimum number of rounds added means the lottery interval (2 rounds) in the round scenario. When the number of undigested rounds is not more than the minimum number of rounds ("2") (Yes in S114), it is determined whether or not the number of rounds that can be added is "2" or more (S115). If it is (Yes in S115), “2” is set to the number of extra rounds (S116), and “2” is subtracted from the number of rounds that can be added (S117). As a result, the total number of rounds corresponding to the number of round-related acquirable points can always be greater than or equal to the number of rounds already digested. In other words, for example, if only 6 rounds of points that can be earned are displayed when 5 rounds are consumed, the number of points earned will reach the number of points related to rounds when 6 rounds are consumed. If there is an unsettled number of rounds, at least the value up to the next round that can be added is produced.

  If the round to be processed is not “lottery” (when no addition is confirmed) (No in S113), it is determined whether or not the setting of the number of rounds to be added is “2R or more” as the addition confirmed lottery. If it is “2R or more” (Yes in S118), “2” is set as the number of extra rounds (S119). If the setting of the number of rounds to be added is not “2R or more” (No in S118), it is determined whether or not the setting of the number of rounds to be added is “4R or more” (S120). If this is the case (Yes in S120), “4” is set as the number of extra rounds (S121). Then, after the processing of steps S117, S119, and S121, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds that can be added remains ("1" or more) (S122). If it remains (Yes in S122), "0" The number of rounds equal to or less than the number of rounds that can be added is selected (S123). Next, if there is a previously determined number of extra rounds, the number of rounds of the lottery result is added to that value, and if not, the value of the lottery result is set (S124), and the number of rounds of the lottery result is subtracted from the number of rounds that can be added. (S125).

  Then, after setting the number of extra rounds and the number of rounds that can be added (after processing in steps S112 and S125, and after No in S122), the number of extra rounds is transmitted to the liquid crystal control circuit (S126). The number of rounds is added to the number of rounds (the number of rounds that have not been digested among the rounds corresponding to the number of round-related points that can be acquired) (S127). After adding the additional round number to the undigested round number and when there is no additional round number (after S127 and after No in S120), other processing corresponding to the received command is executed (S128). ), The process exits (S59). As this other process (S128), for example, there is a process of adding the number of extra rounds and adding it to the total number of rounds.

  Returning to FIG. 12, if it is not the full power zone effect (No in S51), as the end setting of the full power zone effect, the full power zone flag is turned OFF (S60), and “0” is set to the full power zone counter (S61). ), “0” is set as the total number of rounds to be added (S62), “0” is set as the number of undigested rounds (S63), and the probability variation background image is set as the effect background (S64).

  If the fluctuation is not a big hit fluctuation (No in S50), it is determined whether or not the full power zone flag is ON (S65). If the fluctuation is ON (Yes in S65), the full power zone counter indicates “ It is determined whether or not it is greater than “0” (S66). If it is greater than “0” (Yes in S66), “1” is subtracted from the full power zone counter (S67). If the full power zone counter is not greater than 0 (No in S66), the full power zone flag is turned OFF (S68) as the end setting of the full power zone effect, and "0" is set to the total number of extra rounds (S69). “0” is set as the number of undigested rounds (S70), and the probability variation background is set as the background of the production (S71). The processes in steps S68 to S71 are the same as the processes in S60 and S62 to S64 described above. Then, after the extra round lottery process (S59) and the processes of steps S64 and 71, other processes corresponding to the received command are executed (S72), and the variable command process (S37) is exited.

  Next, round command processing (S39) executed when the received command is a round command (Yes in S38 of FIG. 11) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S39), if the above-mentioned full power zone effect is in progress at the start of the round, an extra round lottery process is executed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the full power zone flag is ON (S80), and if it is ON (Yes in S80), an extra round lottery process (S81) is executed. This extra round lottery process (S81) is the same as the extra round lottery process (S59) described above. Next, other processing corresponding to the received command is executed (S82), and this processing (S39) is exited.

  Next, the interval command process (S41) executed when the received command is an interval command (Yes in S40 of FIG. 11) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S41), based on the number of extra rounds determined in the above-described extra round lottery process (S59, S81), the number of round-related acquirable points displayed on the display 30 and the number of obtained points are transmitted to the liquid crystal control circuit. To do. This acquired point is the point after the addition of the insufficient points at the end of the round described above. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the full power zone flag is ON (S90). If it is ON (Yes in S90), it is determined whether or not the number of undigested rounds is greater than “0” (S91). If it is larger than “0” (Yes in S91), “1” is subtracted from the number of undigested rounds (S92). Then, after the determination and processing of the number of undigested rounds (after processing in step S92 and after No in S91), the round-related per round is added to the total number of rounds added as the number of round-related acquirable points (denominator) The product obtained by multiplying the number of obtainable points (150 points), and the number of earned points (numerator) multiplied by the number of digested rounds and the number of obtainable points related to rounds per round (150 points), respectively. Transmit (S93, S94). The liquid crystal control circuit displays the received number of round-related acquirable points and the number of earned points on the display 30. That is, the number of acquired points is controlled to be the number of round-related acquirable points per round even when the number of winnings that is the end condition of one round is not reached.

  Next, the big prize winning ball command process (S43) executed when the received command is the big winning prize ball command (Yes in S42 of FIG. 11) will be described based on FIG. In this process, determination of the maximum number of winning balls for the big winning opening and transmission of the big winning opening winning command to the liquid crystal control circuit are performed. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the number of winning a prize winning is smaller than the number of winning a prize (the above-mentioned upper limit number of winning balls for ending the opening of the winning award) (S100), and is smaller than the number of winning a prize. In the case (Yes in S100), a winning prize winning command is transmitted to the liquid crystal control circuit (S101), and the winning prize winning number is incremented by "1" (S102). In other words, based on the winning prize winning command received from the main control board, the winning points corresponding to the number of winning balls of the winning prize set set when receiving the above-mentioned spec setting command (1 winning ball = 15 winning balls = 15 points). ) The information is transmitted to the liquid crystal control circuit, and the liquid crystal control circuit adds the acquired points to the acquired points displayed on the display 30 and displays them. If the number of winning prizes is not smaller than the number of winning prizes (No in S100) and after the process of step S102, other processes corresponding to the received command are executed (S103), and the process (S43) is exited. . With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the number of acquired points from exceeding the number of round-related acquirable points. This is the end of the description of the sub control circuit main program PG1 of the sub control circuit.
