  In addition, in the symbol display device 25, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the combination symbol position 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c before the symbol variation effect ends, and each symbol row 26a, 26b, When the effect design of 26c is confirmed and stopped, one design variation effect is finished. That is, the symbol variation effect (the first special symbol variation display and the second special symbol variation display) is determined from the variation start of the effect symbol (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one special diagram start hold information. The process is executed once until the stop. Here, the “determined stop” of the effect symbol is a state in which the effect symbol is continuously stopped and displayed at the combination symbol position 27 in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c for a predetermined special symbol variation interval time. is there. In the embodiment, 600 ms (milliseconds) is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol variation effect (first special diagram variation display) based on the detection of the first start prize detection sensor SE1, and the second start prize detection sensor 600 ms is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol variation effect (second special diagram variation display) based on the detection of SE2. Further, the “temporary stop” of the effect symbol is a state in which the effect symbol displayed so as to remain at the combination symbol position 27 in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is not continuously stopped for the special symbol variation interval time. is there. That is, the temporary stop of the effect symbol includes a state in which the effect symbol is displayed in the fluctuation state at the combination symbol position 27 and a state in which the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special symbol fluctuation interval time. Further, the “change in effect design” is a state in which the effect design is not displayed in the recognizable symbol position 27 in the combination symbol position 27 in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c, and is displayed at the combination symbol position. This includes a state in which the effect symbols change in a predetermined order or the effect symbols are not displayed at the combination symbol positions.

  Here, in the first special symbol display section D1 and the symbol display device 25, the first special symbol variation display and the symbol variation effect relating to the first special symbol variation display are started, and the special symbol 1 and the effect symbol are displayed in a fixed stop display. Is done. Similarly, in the second special symbol display section D2 and the symbol display device 25, the second special symbol variation display and the symbol variation effect relating to the second special symbol variation display are started, and the special symbol 2 and the effect symbol are displayed in a fixed stop display. Is done. In the case where the special map change display is not performed simultaneously in the first and second special map display units D1 and D2, and the special map display is performed in one of the special map display units D1 and D2, It is stored on hold as first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 301c.

  Here, in the symbol display device 25 according to the embodiment, 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” are set as basic effect symbols in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, and the basic effect is displayed. The symbols are variably displayed in order in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. In addition, as an effect design, it is not restricted to this, It is set as the form which a player can distinguish and identify each effect design like arbitrary numbers, a character, a picture, etc. The effect symbol of the embodiment is a first identification symbol that can be definitely recognized by the player to give a certain change state (described later) after the jackpot game ends, and a possibility that the probability change state may be given after the jackpot game ends. Is classified into a second identification symbol that can be recognized indefinitely. In this embodiment, the probability variation state that can be given after the big hit game is finished will be described in detail later. Here, as the first identification symbol, a special effect symbol determined other than the basic effect symbol can be used even if it is appropriately set from the basic effect symbols. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “0”, “2”, “4”, “ An example in which the even symbols “6” and “8” are the second identification symbols will be described.

  Then, when the effect symbol of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c that is confirmed and stopped at the combination symbol position 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in the symbol display device 25 is a winning symbol combination, It is possible to grasp that a game (big hit game) is given. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same effect symbol is confirmed and displayed at the combination symbol position 27 of each symbol row is set as the jackpot symbol combination. . The symbol combination of the effect symbols that can recognize the jackpot becomes a jackpot display (winning display) displayed on the symbol display device 25, and a jackpot game advantageous to the player is given after the symbol variation effect ends. In the embodiment, in addition to the above-described basic effect symbols that are variably displayed on the symbol display device 25, special effect symbols (special symbols) are set to be displayed, and the combination symbol position 27 of each symbol row is set. The special effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop display at any one of them (for example, the combination symbol position C in the middle symbol row 26b), so that a predetermined big hit game can be recognized. The symbol combination of effect symbols that can recognize the possibility of occurrence of the jackpot game is a jackpot suggestion display displayed on the symbol display device 25. On the other hand, when even one of the symbols in all the columns that are confirmed and stopped at the combination symbol position 27 of the symbol display device 25 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, “734”, “171”, etc.) ), In principle, it can be recognized that the game is “out of play” where no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the effect symbols that can recognize the deviation becomes the deviation display of the symbol display device 25. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined jackpot game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of effect symbols are not the same. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. As specific examples of the specific symbol combinations, the symbol combinations in which three columns of effect symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order (for example, “123”, “321”), the effect symbols of the left symbol column 26a and the middle symbol column 26b. Are the same, and the symbol combination in which the value of the effect symbol in the right symbol row 26c is shifted by one (for example, “778”), the symbol combination in which the effect symbols in the three columns become a predetermined word combination (for example, “758” (Nagoya)). ) And the like. In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of effect symbols that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same effect symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol sequence (in the embodiment, the left symbol sequence 26a and the right symbol sequence 26c) among the plurality of symbol sequences, and the remaining symbol sequences (implemented) In the example, the middle symbol row 26b) is displayed in a variable display (reach display), so that the player can recognize that the reach has occurred. A specific example of reach display is a symbol combination (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) in which the same effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c. In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. In addition, the effect symbols of the specific symbol sequence (the left symbol sequence 26a and the right symbol sequence 26c) forming the reach display are in a temporarily stopped display state, and the effect symbols of the remaining symbol sequences (middle symbol sequence 26b) are stopped. After the display (temporary stop display), the effect symbols of all the symbol sequences are displayed in a fixed stop manner.

  As described above, the symbol display device 25 is an effect display unit that displays a symbol variation effect and stops and displays a plurality of effect symbols. Then, in the symbol display device 25 as the effect display means, a plurality of combination symbol positions at which the effect symbols (effect symbols) to be combined are stopped and displayed are set and stopped at each of the combination symbol positions. When the combination of effect symbols is a predetermined hit display, the special symbol hit determination is notified that the hit determination is a hit determination.

  Further, the symbol display device 25 displays a symbol combination of effect symbols according to the displayed special symbol as a result of the special symbol variation display performed in the first special symbol display unit D1 and the second special symbol display unit D2. Is done. That is, the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display unit D1 and the second special symbol display unit D2 correspond to the symbol combinations of the effect symbols displayed on the symbol display device 25, respectively, and the symbol variation effect is generated. Upon completion, the special symbols are fixedly stopped on the first special symbol display unit D1 and the second special symbol display unit D2, and the effect symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed on the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c of the symbol display device 25. It is like that. In addition, the symbol combination of the effect symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one effect symbol is selected from the symbol combinations by the plural effect symbols for one special symbol. Yes.

(About probabilistic state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said special prize opening 56 is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 56 can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability change function is the probability of winning a big hit after the jackpot game is over, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the big hit probability is changed from a low probability (170/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1700/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the jackpot fluctuates with a high probability and the jackpot game is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting. In addition, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit game to which a probability variation state is given, after the big hit game is finished, it continues until a predetermined number of times (the number of probability variation) the symbol variation effect (special variation variation display) is executed. Probability state is given. In the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is continuously given until 100 symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the big hit game is generated. Also, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 52 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening and closing member 53 that opens the second start winning opening 52, the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 52 can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 53 for opening the second start winning opening 52 once per map, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 53. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times of opening 53, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state in the example is set to combine (1) to (3) above. In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 52 is improved.

  In other words, in the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed in the general map display unit D5 in the non-changed state is set to 3600 ms, and the change of the normal map change display performed in the general map display unit D5 in the variable state. The time is set to any one of 520 ms, which is shorter than the non-changeable state, and the change time of the normal change display performed in the normal view display unit D5 is shortened with the addition of the changeable state. . In addition, the winning probability of determination per common figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (in the example, 1125/65536), and the winning probability of determination per common figure in the variable state is high (in the example, , 65535/65536), and with the provision of the variable state, the winning probability of the determination per common figure varies from a low probability to a high probability. In the embodiment, the period from the time when the normal map is confirmed and stopped until the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval) is set to 480 ms.

  Further, in the state where the variable state is applied, the opening / closing member 53 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, a predetermined time after the opening / closing member 53 of the second start winning opening 52 is opened in the case of winning in the normal map display (in the case of the normal map). An opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until (300 ms in the embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state where the variable state is given, when the normal figure change display is won (in the case of the normal figure), the opening / closing member 53 of the second start winning opening 52 is opened for a predetermined time (implemented). In the example, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed three times until 1140 ms) elapses. That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening / closing member 53 of the second start winning opening 52 is longer than the state where the variable state is not given, and the player operates advantageously. It is set to be. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows winning to the second start winning hole 52 per one ordinary figure is set, and the number of winnings after opening the opening / closing member 53 is set. The opening / closing member 53 is closed when the upper limit number of winnings (closing condition) is reached. Here, in the embodiment, a period (hereinafter referred to as the number of times of change) for which the change state is given is determined according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won in the jackpot. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit game to which a variable state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the game is continuously changed until a predetermined number of symbol fluctuation effects (special figure fluctuation display) is executed. The short state is assigned, and the number of times of change is set to the same number as the number of times of change described above. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, it is set so that the variable state is continuously given until 100 symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. In addition, the period (number of times of change) for which the change state is granted is not limited to this, and is greater than the number of times of change depending on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won by the big hit. The number of times may be less than the number of times or the probability variation number.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described.

Each value of the special figure determination random number is set with a random number corresponding to one type of special figure indicating the above-mentioned failure and a random number corresponding to 200 types of special figures indicating the winning of the big hit. The special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display part D1 or the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display part D2 is specified by the random number for figure determination. . That is, the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit D1 is specified by the value of the special figure determination random number acquired with the detection of the first start prize detection sensor SE1, and the second start prize is obtained. Based on the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of one of the detection sensors SE2, the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special figure display unit D2 is specified. As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified for each type of jackpot game, and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is specified, so The type of jackpot game given after the end is specified. That is, the special figure determining random number functions as a random number for determining the type of winning game (big hit game). In addition, as described above, whether or not the probability variation state and the variable state are given after the big hit game is uniquely determined for each type of the big hit game, and the special figure determining random number is the probability variation state and the variable state. It also has a function as a random number for determining whether or not to give. In addition, for each type of jackpot game, the grant period (number of times of change) given after the jackpot game is defined, and the special figure determination random number functions as a random number that determines the grant period of the change state Also have.

  In addition, the random number for performance execution determination suggests the possibility that a win display is displayed when the determination result in the above-mentioned special figure hit determination is negative (in the case of failure to win a big hit game). This is a random number used in the performance execution determination (reach determination) as to whether or not to perform the performance. In the embodiment, 239 kinds of integer values from “0” to “238” are set as random numbers for effect execution determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Here, as an effect suggesting the possibility that a win display is displayed, each of the reach effect that is performed by the reach display displayed in the process of the symbol variation on the symbol display device 25 and each symbol variation effect is performed. It is possible to continuously execute a pseudo-continuous notice effect that temporarily stops the effect symbols of the symbol sequences 26a, 26b, and 26c multiple times, and a change cycle that is once from the start of change to the change stop of the effect symbols. The winning display is displayed by the continuous warning effect (pre-reading warning effect), the warning effect suggesting the possibility of being displayed on the symbol display device 25, or the light of the lamp device 18 or the sound output from the speaker 19. It includes a notice effect that suggests to the player the possibility of being played.

  The special figure variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when one special figure variation pattern is determined from a plurality of special figure variation patterns that specify the production time in the symbol variation effect.

When the pachinko ball wins 51, 52 (more specifically, either the first or second start winning detection sensor SE1, SE2 detects the pachinko ball), the main control RAM 301c temporarily The main control CPU 301a acquires each stored random number at the same timing. Here, each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 51 is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 52. The main control CPU 301a acquires a random number corresponding to the winning timing for each start winning opening 51, 52.

  The main control CPU 301a is set to acquire various random numbers as passage detection information triggered by the pachinko ball passing through the gate part 59 (more specifically, the gate sensor SE5 detecting the pachinko ball). ing. Here, as the random numbers that the main control CPU 301a acquires upon the detection of the gate sensor SE5, various random numbers such as a random number for determining a normal figure and a random number for determining a normal pattern are set. Then, the main control CPU 301a updates these random number values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 301c, and rewrites the values before the update, thereby A random number is acquired according to the timing at which the detection signal of the sensor SE5 is input to the main control CPU 301a. Further, the main control CPU 301a executes timer update processing for measuring time. The main control RAM 301c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  The passage detection information (various random values) acquired when the pachinko ball passes through the gate sensor SE5 is temporarily stored in a predetermined map storage area (storage area) of the main control RAM 301c as the map start hold information. It is configured to be stored in memory. The general-purpose start storage information is stored in the main control RAM 301c when a general-purpose storage area is stored in the order of storage in the main control RAM 301c, and the normal map change display is executed based on the general-purpose start reservation information. In the order, the normal start suspension information is read out by the main control CPU 301a.

  The random number for determining a normal figure is a random number used in the determination for a normal figure (starting port opening determination) as to whether or not the second start winning opening 52 is to be opened (per normal figure) as a result of the fluctuation of the normal figure. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms).

Then, the passage detection information (usually stored in the main control RAM 301c) triggered by the passage of the pachinko sphere through the gate portion 59 (more specifically, the fact that the gate sensor SE5 has detected the pachinko sphere). The main control CPU 301a obtains a hit determination random number and a normal variation randomizing random number) at the same timing.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 301b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot game using the determination random number per special figure (determination per special figure). A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set for the big hit determination value differs depending on whether or not the above-described probability variation state is given at the time of performing the special figure determination. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (1700 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state (170 in the embodiment). Many are set. In other words, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, a jackpot game is likely to occur.

  The main control ROM 301b stores special figure determination values. The special figure determination value is the special figure 1 or 2 as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display unit D1 in a definite stop when the result of the special figure determination is a big hit (when winning the big hit game). This is a determination value for determining special figure 2 as a jackpot symbol to be confirmed and stopped on special figure display parts D1 and D2 using a special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, the special figure determination value is set to an integer value of a type corresponding to the 200 types of special figure determination random numbers described above. Then, when the big win is won based on the special figure start hold information triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball to the first start winning opening 51, the determination value for special figure determination is set as the big hit symbol of special figure 1 Further, the main control CPU 301a assigns any one of the symbols A to B assigned to the two types of symbols A to B and assigned with the determination value for special symbol determination corresponding to the random number for special symbol determination. Has come to be determined. Similarly, when the big win is won based on the special figure start hold information triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball in any of the second start winning holes 52, the special figure determination judgment value is the big hit of the special figure 2 Any of symbols a to b assigned to the two types of symbols a to b set as symbols and assigned with a determination value for special symbol determination corresponding to a random number for special symbol determination Is determined by the main control CPU 301a.

  The main control ROM 301b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination as to whether or not to execute a reach effect that suggests a possibility that a winning display is displayed on the symbol display device 25 when the result of determination per special symbol is negative (reach lottery) This value is determined from among 239 kinds of integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for effect execution determination. That is, the main control CPU 301a determines that the effect of the reach effect that will eventually be lost is executed when the value of the obtained effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value. It has become. Here, the number of determination values set for the effect execution determination value differs depending on the gaming state (probability change state or variable state) at the time of performing the effect execution determination. Specifically, the number of production execution determination values set in the non-variable state where the variable state is not assigned is more than the number of production execution determination values than when the variable state is assigned. It is set to increase. That is, in the variable state, the reach effect is less likely to occur than in the non-variable state.

(About special map fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 301b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect mode) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the final stop display. , Which specifies the basic content of the sound production mode). In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design fluctuation effect and special figure from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of fluctuation display is specified.

  Here, as the special figure variation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns for hitting, a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns for reach reach to be performed, and a non-reach without reach effect Special map fluctuation patterns are provided. The special figure fluctuation pattern for big hits is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 301a when the result of the special figure hit determination is affirmative. The special map variation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 301a when the result is affirmative, and the special map variation pattern for non-reach and non-reach is selectable by the main control CPU 301a when the result of the performance execution determination is negative. It is a special figure fluctuation pattern. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach display is displayed in the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 25 until the symbol combination of the effect symbol that is a big hit or miss is stopped and displayed.

  The main control ROM 301b stores variation pattern distribution determination values. The variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used when determining one special figure variation pattern from among the special figure variation patterns that can be determined according to the results of the big hit determination and the effect execution determination. It is determined from all 251 integers from “0” to “250” that can be taken by the random numbers for pattern distribution. This variation pattern distribution determination value is assigned by a predetermined number to the special figure variation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 301a according to the results of the big hit determination and the effect execution determination. That is, by specifying the variation pattern to which the determination value corresponding to the random number for special pattern variation pattern distribution is assigned, the special diagram variation pattern (effect content and variation time) executed in the symbol variation effect is determined. That is, when determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns based on the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution, the special figure fluctuation pattern is selected according to the number of assigned variation pattern distribution determination values. The ease is adjusted.

  In addition, the main control ROM 301b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the non-variable state (example). In this case, more than 1125) are set. In other words, by increasing the number of normal maps set in the variable state, it is easy to generate a common map hit.

  In the main control ROM 301b, a plurality of types of common map variation patterns are stored, and general map variation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the respective general map variation patterns. Here, the general map variation pattern specifies the fluctuation time of the general map variation display from the start of the general map variation display to the final stop display of the general map. The normal variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining the general variation pattern by using the random number for distribution of the general variation pattern. It is determined from all 9 types of integers up to “8”. A predetermined judgment value is assigned to each of the customary pattern fluctuation patterns, and the typical figure fluctuation pattern to which the common figure fluctuation pattern distribution judgment value corresponding to the acquired random number for normal pattern fluctuation pattern distribution is assigned is the main. It is specified by the control CPU 301a. Here, the determination value for determining the normal map variation pattern differs in the type and the number of allocation of the general map change pattern to be allocated, depending on the result of the determination per common map. Specifically, in the embodiment, when the result of the judgment per common figure is affirmative (winning per common figure), all the standard figure variation pattern determination values are assigned to one common figure fluctuation pattern, When the fluctuation pattern of a predetermined time (for example, 3600 ms) is determined, the fluctuation pattern is determined. On the other hand, when the result of the universal figure judgment is affirmative (decision per universal figure), another normal fluctuation pattern All the standard fluctuation pattern determination values are assigned to the standard fluctuation pattern that defines a predetermined time fluctuation time (for example, 520 ms).

An effect pattern that can be selected by the effect control CPU 302a when the determination result is affirmative, and an effect pattern for non-reach and reach is selected by the effect control CPU 302a when the result of the effect execution determination by the main control CPU 301a is negative. This is a possible production pattern. Further, the effect pattern is not associated with the special figure variation pattern in a one-to-one relationship, and one special pattern variation pattern is associated with one or more effect patterns. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to determine one effect pattern from the effect patterns corresponding to the special figure variation pattern.

  In other words, the winning game is triggered by winning information acquisition means for acquiring winning information triggered by winning at any of the start winning ports 51, 52, and the establishment of the determination condition (acquisition of winning information by the winning information acquiring means). When the determination result of the hit determination means and the hit determination means is affirmative, the main control functions as a hit game determination means for determining a hit game to be given from a plurality of types of hit games.

In addition to functioning as a means, it is configured to function as a first game state giving means for giving a probability variation state after the winning game is finished. Here, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative). The main control CPU 301a functions as a special symbol display control means for controlling the display of the special symbol display means so that the special symbol display means stops and displays the special symbol corresponding to the determination result of the hit determination means.

  Further, the main control CPU 301a has a high probability that the pachinko ball will win the variable start winning opening (second starting winning opening 52) when a win occurs (when the determination result of the hit determining means is affirmative). It functions as a second gaming state determination means for determining whether or not to give a winning rate improvement state (variable state), and determines a period for giving a winning rate improvement state when giving a winning rate improvement state In addition to functioning as a period determining means, it also functions as a second game state giving means for giving a variable state for a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the winning game.

Any period is determined as the grant period of the winning rate improvement state. The main control CPU 301a determines a plurality of types of periods as the winning rate improvement state grant period according to the determined type of winning game. As described above, the main control CPU 301a, when the winning determination is affirmative, makes a privilege state (probability changing state, changing state) advantageous to the player after winning a game based on winning to the start winning opening 51, 52. It has a function as a privilege state determining means for determining whether to grant or not. Further, the main control RAM 301c is acquired while the symbol variation effect is being performed on the symbol display device 25 (that is, while the special symbol variation display is being performed on the first and second special symbol display units D1 and D2). It functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of received winning information as starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor SE1 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the symbol display device 25 or the first special figure display unit D1) is the first. Detection of any of the second start winning detection sensors SE2 while the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and display means (symbol display device 25 or second special figure display section D2) stored as start hold information It functions as a second holding storage means for storing winning information acquired as a trigger as second starting hold information.

  Next, a special figure input process and a special figure start process executed by the main control CPU 301a of the main control board 301 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(Special drawing input process)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4 ”, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 51 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor SE1 corresponding to the first start winning opening 51 detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 301c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 301a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result of step A12 is affirmative (the number of first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of first special figure start hold information hold number is incremented by 1 and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 301c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 301c receives winning information (various random values such as a random number for winning determination, a random value for determining a special figure, a random value for determining execution execution, and a random value for distributing a special figure variation pattern). Is read from the main control CPU 301a, and the winning information (random value) is set in the first to fourth areas of the first starting suspension area in the main control RAM 301c associated with the number of suspensions as the starting suspension information at the time of winning (step) A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won any of the second start winning holes 52. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not a detection signal output when any of the second start winning detection sensors SE2 corresponding to the second start winning opening 52 detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 301c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16), the special figure input process is terminated.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 301c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, various random numbers such as winning information (random number for special figure determination, random value for determining special figure, random value for determining execution execution, random value for distributing special figure variation pattern, etc.) are received from the main control RAM 301c. Value) is read by the main control CPU 301a, and the winning information (random number value) is stored in the first to fourth areas of the second start holding area of the main control RAM 301c associated with the number of holds as the second winning start hold information. Set (step A18), the special figure input process is terminated.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The special symbol start process is executed immediately before the symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is performed, and the symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is executed based on the processing result of the special symbol start process. The main control CPU 301a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed in the special figure display units D1 and D2 and the symbol display device 25, or whether the big hit game is being played. (Step B11). If the determination result at step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 301a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the storage number (holding number) obtained by summing the first and second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 301c is read (step B12), and the total storage is performed. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step B13). If the determination result in step B13 is negative (when the total number of first and second special figure start hold information is 0), the main control CPU 301a has already issued a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect. It is determined whether or not it has been output (step B20). If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 301a ends the special figure start process.

  The main control CPU 301a determines a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 301c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the total storage number of the first and second special figure start hold information> 0). Is set to a value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is to be executed. Next, the main control CPU 301a stores the earliest (ie, the oldest) special figure start hold information stored in the first and second special figure start hold information stored in the second start hold area in the main control RAM 301c. The corresponding stored number is decremented by 1 (step B14), and the oldest first or second special figure start hold information (random value for determining special figure, random value for determining special figure, random number for effect execution determining) And various random number values such as the special pattern variation pattern distribution random number value) are acquired as variation start start hold information by the main control CPU 301a (step B15).

  Here, when the main control CPU 301a acquires the first special figure start hold information (random number) as the start change information at the start of the fluctuation, the first special figure start hold information stored earliest (that is, the oldest) is stored. Information is acquired from the first area of the first start hold area stored. The main control CPU 301a stores the first special figure start hold information stored second fastest after acquiring the random number associated with the first special figure start hold information as the change start start hold information. The first special figure start hold information (random number) in the second area of the first start hold area is used as the next variable start start hold information based on the first special figure start hold information. Remember me. Similarly, the main control CPU 301a stores the first special figure start hold information (random number) in the third area of the first start hold area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold in the third area of the first start hold area in which the first special figure start hold information stored in the second area of the start hold area is stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored. Information (random number) is stored in the third area of the first start hold area. Similarly, when acquiring the second special figure start hold information (random number) as the change start start hold information, the main control CPU 301a stores the earliest stored (that is, the oldest) second special figure start hold information. The information is acquired from the first area of the stored second start-up hold area, and the second special figure start-up hold information stored in the second to fourth areas of the second start-up hold area is sequentially raised and stored. . In this way, the first and second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 301c is awarded in the order stored in the main control RAM 301c (according to the detection of the first and second start winning detection sensors SE1, SE2). The information is read out by the main control CPU 301a in the order in which the information is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 301a changes the display of the first special figure hold display part D3 or the second special figure hold display part D4 so as to correspond to the number of stored first or second special figure start hold information after subtraction. .

  When various random numbers as starting change hold information at the start of change are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 301a determines the value of the random number for judgment per special figure as start hold information at the start of change. Is determined per special figure to determine whether or not is consistent with the judgment value per special figure stored in the main control ROM 301b (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 170/65536 in the non-probability change state (low probability), and in the probability change state ( The probability that the determination result is affirmative (when the probability is high) (hit probability) is set to 1700/65536. If the determination result of the special figure hit determination at step B22 is affirmative (when a big hit is caused), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is a big hit (step S22). B23). Then, the main control CPU 301a, based on the value of the special figure determination random number as the starting change hold information at the start of the fluctuation, the final stop symbol that becomes a big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first or second special symbol display units D1 and D2. (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is determined (step B24). That is, in the case of the fluctuation start start hold information based on the first special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 301a determines the jackpot symbol (special figure 1) to be displayed on the first special figure display unit D1. In the case of the change start start hold information based on the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 301a determines the big hit symbol (special figure 2) displayed to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit D2. Here, since the special figure determination random number value is associated with the jackpot symbol of special figure 1 or special figure 2, the main control CPU 301a is associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2, the jackpot symbol is determined.

  When the big hit symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is determined, the main control CPU 301a determines one special symbol fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation patterns for the big hit effect (Step B25). Specifically, the main control CPU 301a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for big hits based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the special figure determination in step B22 is negative (when the big hit is not generated), the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not the execution (reach) is to be executed (reach execution determination) Reach determination) is performed (step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 301a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 301c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is to be performed), the main control CPU 301a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first or second special figure display units D1 and D2. The final stop symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is determined (Step B28). Next, the main control CPU 301a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B29).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative, the main control CPU 301a uses the first or second special-figure display units D1 and D2 as the final stop symbol ( It is determined as special figure 1 or special figure 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 301a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  Here, the main control CPU 301a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop symbol (special figure 1 or special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, B31, gives a predetermined fluctuation start control command to the effect control board 302. (Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 301a designates a special figure fluctuation pattern and outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 301a controls the first or second special figure display units D1 and D2 so as to start the special figure fluctuation display. That is, when the fluctuation start start hold information for which the hit determination has been made is based on the first special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 301a controls the first special figure display unit D1 to start the special figure fluctuation display. When the start change information at the start of change for which the hit determination is made is based on the second special figure start hold information, the second special figure display unit D2 controls to start the special figure change display. Further, the main control CPU 301a outputs a special figure designation command for instructing the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 301a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 301a performs the first or second so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. 2 Controls the display contents of the special figure display parts D1 and D2. Further, the main control CPU 301a instructs to stop changing the effect symbols based on the variation time set in the specified special symbol variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped. It is like that.

(About production control)
Next, processing executed on the effect control board 302 will be described. In the effect control board 302, when the change start control command is input, processing related to the start of changing the symbol change effect is performed. The effect control CPU 302a of the effect control board 302 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 301a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 303, the lamp control board 304, the sound control board 305, and the like. That is, the effect control CPU 302a functions as effect execution control control means for executing a symbol variation effect based on the determined variation pattern. Here, the effect patterns that can be selected by the effect control CPU 302a are associated with one or more patterns for each special figure variation pattern, and one effect pattern is selected from among the effect patterns corresponding to the special figure variation pattern. Selected.

  In addition, when a special symbol designation command is input, the production control CPU 302a produces an effect on each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c to be finally stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 25 in response to the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. The design (final stop effect design) is determined. In other words, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 designated by the special figure designation command is a big hit symbol, the production control CPU 302a displays each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c so as to be a combination of the symbols of the big symbol display. Determine the directing design. Then, at the final stop timing of the effect symbols of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, a designation command for specifying the effect symbol of each column is displayed on the display control board 303, the lamp control board 304, and the sound control board. Output to 305 etc. Specifically, the effect control CPU 302a starts measuring time by the timer means simultaneously with the input of the variation pattern designation command, and outputs the left effect symbol designation command at the final stop timing of the effect symbol in the left symbol row 26a. The right effect designating command is output at the final stop timing of the effect symbol in the right symbol sequence 26c, and the middle effect designating command is output at the final stop timing of the effect symbol in the middle symbol sequence 26b.

  In addition, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 designated by the special figure designation command is an outlier symbol, the effect control CPU 302a sets the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c so that the symbol combinations of the effect symbols can be recognized. Determine the design. In addition, when the special figure variation pattern for reach deviation is input, the effect control CPU 302a determines the effect symbols for each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c so that the combination including the reach display can be recognized. To do. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 302a, when a special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment without reach is input, produces an effect design for each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c so that a combination that does not include reach display can be recognized. To decide. Further, when the effect control CPU 302a inputs an all symbols stop command, it outputs the command to the display control board 303, the lamp control board 304, the sound control board 305, and the like.

(About display control)
In the display control board 303, when a command is input from the effect control board 302, the display control CPU 303a selects display data indicating the contents of the effect corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and corresponds to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 25 is controlled to execute the symbol variation effect with the display content. Then, the display control CPU 303a measures the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the design display device 25 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. Then, when the effect symbol stop command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is input, the display control CPU 303a produces the effect designated by the effect symbol designation command at the combination symbol position 27 of the corresponding symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. When the symbol is temporarily stopped and all the effect symbol stop commands are input, the effect symbol designated by the effect symbol stop command is displayed on the symbol display device 25 at the combination symbol position 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. The display content of the symbol display device 25 is controlled so as to cause the symbol variation effect to end.

(About power supply board 400)

Here, the power supply board 400 is provided with a backup power supply 405 such as a capacitor or a battery, and main control is performed based on the power supply from the backup power supply 405 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off or the power is cut off. Various information stored in the RAM 301c and the effect control RAM 302c can be stored as backup information. When the startup process is performed as the power is turned on, the power-off state can be restored based on the backup information.

  The power supply board 400 is provided with a clear switch 402 for initializing (clearing) the main control RAM 301c and the effect control RAM 302c. When the clear switch 402 and the power switch 401 are operated simultaneously, A ram clear signal is output to the control board 301 and the effect control board 302. When the ram clear signal is input, the main control CPU 301a and the presentation control CPU 302a perform a clear process for initializing the corresponding main control RAM 301c and the presentation control RAM 302c, and perform a startup process based on the initial information. ing.

(About payment appearance)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment pays out a pachinko ball when a payout condition for the pachinko ball, which is a game medium, is established by winning the pachinko ball in any of the winning ports 51, 52, 56, 58a. The first auxiliary display unit 70 can execute the payout appearance that can be identified. That is, the start winning detection sensors SE1, SE2 corresponding to the first and second start winning openings 51, 52, the special winning detection sensor SE3 corresponding to the special winning opening 56, and the normal winning detection sensor SE4 corresponding to the normal winning opening 58a. When any one detects a pachinko ball and a ball detection signal is input to the main control CPU 301a of the main control board 301, the effect control CPU 302a can execute the payout appearance on the first auxiliary display unit 70. The In the following description, the winning detection sensors SE1 to SE4 corresponding to the winning ports 51, 52, 56, and 58a may be simply referred to as winning detection sensors SE without being distinguished from each other.

  In the embodiment, when a ball detection signal is input triggered by detection of the winning detection sensor SE, a signal (payout number signal) that can identify the number of pachinko balls to be paid triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball is used as the signal. The main control CPU 301a is configured to output to the effect control CPU 302a, and when the payout number signal is input, the effect control CPU 302a controls the first auxiliary display unit 70 to perform payout appearance. It has come to be. That is, when a ball detection signal based on the detection of the first start winning detection sensor SE1 is input, it is possible to specify that the first payout number (one in the embodiment) is paid out. When the number signal is input to the effect control CPU 302a and the ball detection signal based on the detection of the second start winning detection sensor SE2 is input, the second number of payouts (two in the embodiment) is paid out. When a payout number signal that can be specified is input to the effect control CPU 302a and a ball detection signal based on the detection of the special winning detection sensor SE3 is input, the third payout number (15 in the embodiment). When a payout number signal that can specify that a prize ball is to be paid out is input to the effect control CPU 302a and a ball detection signal based on the detection of the normal winning detection sensor SE4 is input, a fourth payout number ( In the example Is a payout number signal that can specify that the payout of 8 prize balls is to be performed is input to the effect control CPU 302a.

  The payout number signal output from the main control CPU 301a to the effect control CPU 302a may be the same signal as the payout instruction signal output to the payout control board 310. What is the payout instruction signal? A separately generated signal may be used as long as the number of pachinko balls to be paid out can be specified at least when the payout condition is satisfied. That is, the main control CPU 301a of the embodiment functions as an instruction unit that outputs the number of game media (pachinko balls) to be paid out based on the establishment of the payout condition to the effect control CPU 302a as the effect control unit.

  In the effect control ROM 302b, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of types of payout appearance patterns that determine the effect pattern of payout appearance displayed on the first auxiliary display unit 70 are set, and based on the payout number signal. When the production control CPU 302a determines the payout appearance pattern, the payout appearance is executed based on the determined payout appearance pattern. Here, the payout appearance pattern includes a payout appearance that can identify the payout number of the pachinko balls to be paid out by the payout device 312 controlled by the payout control board 310 based on the payout instruction signal. Data set to be performed at 70. In the embodiment, as the payout appearance pattern, a predetermined number of payout appearance patterns that identify single (1) pachinko balls to be paid out and a plurality of pachinko balls are paid out. A predetermined number of payout appearance patterns that specify identifiable multiple payout appearances are set in the effect control ROM 302b.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, one type of payout appearance pattern specifying single payout appearance is set, and five types of payout appearance patterns specifying multiple payout appearance are set. In the following description, the six types of payout appearance patterns set in the effect control ROM 302b may be distinguished as first to sixth payout appearance patterns P1 to P6. The first payout appearance pattern P1 is set to execute payout appearance (single payout appearance) that can identify that one pachinko ball is paid out, and the second payout appearance pattern P2 includes two pachinko balls Is set to execute payout appearance (multiple payout appearance) that can be identified as paying out. The third payout appearance pattern P3 is set to execute payout appearance (multiple payout appearance) that can identify that 15 pachinko balls are paid out. The fourth payout appearance pattern P4 includes two payout appearance patterns P4. A payout appearance that can identify that a pachinko ball is paid out (multiple payout appearance), a payout appearance that can identify that 3 pachinko balls are paid out (multiple payout appearance), and 10 pachinko balls that are paid out Are set to execute payout appearance (multiple payout appearance) that can be identified. The fifth payout appearance pattern P5 is set to execute payout appearance (multiple payout appearance) that can identify that eight pachinko balls are paid out. The sixth payout appearance pattern P6 includes two payout appearance patterns P6. It is set to execute payout appearance (multiple payout appearance) that can identify that pachinko balls are paid out and to perform two payout appearances (multiple payout appearance) that can identify that 6 pachinko balls are paid out. The In other words, in the embodiment, the maximum number of pachinko balls (15 in the embodiment) that can be paid out in accordance with the establishment of one payout condition can be identified as the payout appearance made based on the third payout appearance pattern P3. It has become a specific multiple payment appearance.

  In this way, the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 indicates that a total of 15 pachinko balls are paid out by executing payout appearances a plurality of times (three times in the embodiment) triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball. It is set to be identifiable. Similarly, the sixth payout appearance pattern P6 identifies that a total of eight pachinko balls are paid out by executing payout appearances a plurality of times (twice in the embodiment) triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball. It is set to be possible. As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured such that 15 pachinko balls are paid out in response to the detection of a single pachinko ball by the winning detection sensor SE. The payout appearance set in the pattern P3 is a specific multiple payout appearance that can identify the maximum number of pachinko balls that can be paid out when a single payout condition is satisfied.

  That is, when a payout number signal is input in response to the detection of the first start winning detection sensor SE1, the effect control CPU 302a determines the first payout appearance payout pattern P1 and the detection of the second start winning detection sensor SE2. When the payout number signal is input, the effect control CPU 302a is set to determine the second payout appearance payout pattern P2. Then, when a payout number signal triggered by the detection of the special winning detection sensor SE3 is input, the effect control CPU 302a determines either the third payout appearance pattern P3 or the fourth payout appearance pattern P4. Is set. Further, when a payout number signal is input triggered by the detection of the normal winning detection sensor SE4, the effect control CPU 302a determines one of the fifth payout appearance pattern P5 and the sixth payout appearance pattern P6. Is set. That is, the production control CPU 302a of the embodiment functions as a payout appearance determining unit that determines one payout appearance or a combination of a plurality of payout appearances according to the number of payouts of pachinko balls to be paid out.

  The production control CPU 302a is set to acquire a random number for determining a payout appearance pattern at a predetermined random number acquisition opportunity, and a predetermined number of payout appearance patterns for each payable appearance pattern that can be determined based on the input payout number signal. A decision value for decision is assigned. Then, the effect control CPU 302a determines a payout appearance pattern to which a determination value corresponding to the acquired random number for determining the payout appearance pattern is assigned, out of the payout appearance patterns that can be determined based on the input payout number signal. It has become. Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as random numbers for determining the payout appearance pattern that can be acquired by the effect control CPU 302a, and “ 100 integer values of “0” to “99” are set. In the embodiment, the presentation control CPU 302a is configured to acquire a random number for determining the payout appearance pattern upon the input of the payout number signal.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10, the determination values for determining the payout appearance pattern are all assigned to each of the first and second payout appearance patterns P1, P2 in FIG. 10, and the first or second start winning detection is detected. When a payout number signal is input triggered by the detection of the sensors SE1 and SE2, the corresponding first payout appearance pattern P1 or second payout appearance pattern P2 is determined regardless of the random number for determining the payout appearance pattern to be acquired. It has come to be. In addition, for each of the third and fourth payout appearance patterns P3 and P4, 100 determination values for payout appearance pattern determination are assigned at a predetermined ratio, and triggered by the detection of the special prize detection sensor SE3. When the payout number signal is input, the third payout appearance pattern P3 or the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 is determined at a rate corresponding to the number of assigned determination values. In the embodiment, 70 payout appearance pattern determination determination values are assigned to the third payout appearance pattern P3, and 30 payout appearance pattern determination determination values are assigned to the fourth payout appearance pattern P4. It has been. Similarly, for each of the fifth and sixth payout appearance patterns P5, P6, 100 determination values for payout appearance pattern determination are assigned at a predetermined ratio, and the normal winning detection sensor SE4 is detected. When a payout number signal is input as a trigger, the fifth payout appearance pattern P5 or the sixth payout appearance pattern P6 is determined at a rate corresponding to the number of assigned determination values. In the embodiment, 70 payout appearance pattern determination determination values are assigned to the fifth payout appearance pattern P5, and 30 payout appearance pattern determination determination values are assigned to the sixth payout appearance pattern P6. It has been.

  That is, when the number of determination values assigned to the third payout appearance pattern P3 and the fifth payout appearance pattern P5 is increased, the number of pachinko balls to be paid out can be identified by performing the payout appearance once. Produce a sense of speed. Further, when the number of determination values assigned to the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 and the sixth payout appearance pattern P6 is increased, the number of pachinko balls paid out can be identified by performing multiple payout appearances. As a result, it becomes possible to increase interest in the number of pachinko balls to be paid out, which can be gradually identified as the payout appearance is executed. Here, the second, fourth, and sixth payout appearance patterns P2, P4, and P6 share a part of payout appearances (that is, payout appearances that can identify that two pachinko balls are paid out). Since it is set, since the number of pachinko balls to be paid out cannot be definitely identified while the common payout appearance is being performed, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the payout appearance to be executed.

  Here, a specific example of payment appearance will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (g), in the embodiment, in the left display portion 71 of the first auxiliary display portion 70, a state in which the character that the pachinko machine uses as a motif produces a pachinko ball. The pachinko ball manufactured by the character is set to be displayed on the right display unit 72 of the first auxiliary display unit 70, and it is identified that the award ball is paid out by the manufacture of the pachinko ball. To get. Further, the payout appearance pattern is set so that the split display unit 73 is lit from the right side according to the number of pachinko balls manufactured by the character (the number of pachinko balls displayed on the right display unit 72). It should be noted that when the number of pachinko balls equal to or greater than the number of divided display portions 73 is paid out, all the divided display portions 73 are set to be lit (see FIG. 8 (g)). Note that the content of the payout appearance is not limited to this, and characters may be displayed on the first auxiliary display unit 70, such as “Manufacturing Pachinko balls”.

  Specifically, when the first payout appearance pattern P1 is determined, one pachinko ball is displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying the character on the left display portion 71, and one piece from the right end portion. When the effect control CPU 302a controls the display of the first auxiliary display unit 70 to turn on the split display unit 73 and determines the second payout appearance pattern P2, the right display is performed while displaying the character on the left display unit 71.

When the third payout appearance pattern P3 is determined, 15 pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying the characters on the left display portion 71, and all the divided display portions 73 are turned on. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to control the display of the first auxiliary display unit 70. When the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 is determined, two pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying the character on the left display portion 71 in the first payout appearance and from the right end portion. The two split display portions 73 are turned on, and three pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying characters on the left display portion 71 in the second payout appearance, and three split display portions from the right end portion. 73 is turned on, and 10 pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying characters on the left display portion 71 in the third payout appearance, and 10 divided display portions 73 are turned on from the right end portion. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to control the display of the first auxiliary display unit 70. Further, when the fifth payout appearance pattern P5 is determined, eight pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying the character on the left display portion 71, and eight divided display portions 73 from the right end portion. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to control the display of the first auxiliary display unit 70 so as to light up. When the sixth payout appearance pattern P6 is determined, two pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying the character on the left display portion 71 in the first payout appearance and from the right end portion. Two split display portions 73 are turned on, and six pachinko balls are displayed on the right display portion 72 while displaying characters on the left display portion 71 in the second payout appearance, and three split display portions from the right end portion. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to control the display of the first auxiliary display unit 70 so that 73 is turned on.

(Regarding the renewal effect of cumulative payouts)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the effect control CPU 302a displays the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 so as to display the accumulated payout number obtained by accumulating the payout number of the pachinko balls paid out after a predetermined cumulative reference time. It is configured to be controllable. Here, as described above, a payout condition for a pachinko ball as a game medium is established by winning a pachinko ball in any of the winning holes 51, 52, 56, 58a, and a payout number signal is sent to the effect control CPU 302a. When input, the pachinko machine is controlled by the effect control CPU 302a so that the first auxiliary display unit 70 executes the payout appearance determined according to the input payout number signal, and is paid out when the payout condition is satisfied. The number of balls to be paid out can be identified from the payout appearances executed by the first auxiliary display unit 70. As described above, the number of payouts specified by the payout appearance made in the first auxiliary display unit 70 matches the number of payouts of pachinko balls to be paid out when the payout condition is satisfied. That is, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball, which is a game medium, is established by winning the pachinko ball in any one of the winning holes 51, 52, 56, 58a, the effect control CPU 302a performs the above-mentioned after the predetermined cumulative reference time. The cumulative effect of updating the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is displayed so that the cumulative payout number obtained by accumulating the payout number of pachinko balls specified by the payout appearance displayed on the first auxiliary display unit 70 can be executed. Has been.

  As described above, the update effect of the accumulated payout amount is similar to the payout appearance issue described above, in which one of the winning detection sensors SE detects a pachinko ball, and a ball detection signal is input to the main control CPU 301a of the main control board 301. (Ie, establishment of a payout condition for a pachinko ball, which is a game medium). In addition, at the accumulation reference time of the embodiment, as will be described later, a timing different from the period during which the bonus game (big hit game or small hit game) is performed (in the embodiment, the ram clear process accompanying the input of the start process and the clear signal) Is set to be the timing when That is, the production control CPU 302a of the embodiment sets the number of pachinko balls to be paid specified by the paying appearance displayed on the first auxiliary display unit 70 after the accumulation reference time before the paying appearance is executed (the payout condition). It functions as a cumulative number-of-payout calculating means for calculating the cumulative number of paid-in pachinko balls by adding to the number of accumulated pay-outs of pachinko balls (before the establishment of).

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a cumulative payout amount storage area (storage area) for storing the cumulative payout number of pachinko balls paid out after the cumulative reference time is set in the effect control RAM 302c. Each time a payout number signal is input to the effect control CPU 302a triggered by detection of the winning detection sensor SE, the effect control is performed on the cumulative payout number stored in the cumulative payout memory area when the payout number signal is input. The CPU 302a reads out, calculates the new accumulated payout number by adding the payout number of the pachinko ball specified by the payout number signal to the accumulated payout number, and stores the new accumulated payout number in the accumulated payout memory area. It is configured to hold. In other words, the effect control CPU 302a can refer to the total number of pachinko balls that have been paid out after the cumulative reference time by updating the cumulative number of payouts stored and held in the cumulative payout memory area each time a payout number signal is input. It is like that.

  Here, the value (cumulative payout number) stored in the cumulative payout number storage area of the effect control RAM 302c is generated by the reset signal when the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is started (when power is turned on or when power is restored). It is set so that the effect control CPU 302a returns to the initial value (“0”) when input to the control board 302 and activation processing is performed in the effect control CPU 302a. When the clear signal is input to the effect control board 302 and the ram clear process is performed at a time other than the start of power supply to the pachinko machine 10, the effect control CPU 302a stores the accumulated payout amount storage area of the effect control RAM 302c. The value stored in is reset to the initial value (“0”). As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a time point at which the main control CPU 301a and the effect control CPU 302a can execute a predetermined game process after the start process associated with power-on and the ram clear process associated with the clear signal input. Is set as the cumulative reference time, and the effect control CPU 302a calculates the cumulative payout number of the pachinko balls paid out when any of the winning detection sensors SE detects the pachinko balls after the reference time. ing. In other words, in the pachinko machine 10, the effect control CPU 302a calculates the total number of pachinko balls that are paid out throughout the available game period regardless of whether the game is a bonus game.

  Here, in the effect control RAM 302c, as the accumulated payout memory area, as shown in FIG. 9B, the payout number of pachinko balls to be paid out when the payout condition is satisfied (input of the payout number signal) is added. A reference storage area for storing a reference value (cumulative payout number), and a pachinko ball specified by the payout number signal to a value stored in the reference storage area when the payout condition is satisfied (when the payout number signal is input) An update storage area for storing a value obtained by adding the number of payouts (new cumulative payout number) and a plurality of payout appearances are made when one payout condition is satisfied (one payout number signal is input) In this case, an intermediate storage area for storing a value (intermediate payout number) obtained by accumulating the payout number of pachinko balls specified by the payout appearance at each time in a value before execution of the payout appearance is set. That is, the effect control CPU 302a displays on the second auxiliary display unit 80 the accumulated payout number of pachinko balls paid out after the accumulation reference time by referring to the value stored in the reference storage area. In addition, the effect control CPU 302a refers to the value stored in the update storage area when the payout condition is satisfied, so that a new accumulated payout number obtained by adding the payout amount paid out when the payout condition is satisfied is added. It can be displayed (updated) on the second auxiliary display unit 80. In addition, each time the performance control CPU 302a refers to the value stored in the intermediate storage area, the payout number of pachinko balls specified by the payout appearance is added each time the payout appearance is performed with the establishment of the payout condition. The intermediate payout number can be displayed (updated) on the second auxiliary display unit 80.

  That is, the effect control CPU 302a displays the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 based on the value stored in the reference storage area, and when the payout number signal is input, the first auxiliary display. By displaying the new accumulated payout number or the intermediate payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 based on the value stored in the update storage area or the intermediate storage area after the payout appearance is made in the section 70, The update effect of the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is executed, and the update effect of the cumulative payout number is terminated by displaying the value stored in the update storage area. Then, when the update effect of the cumulative payout number performed in accordance with the input of the payout number signal is finished (the value stored in the update storage area is displayed), the value of the reference storage area in the effect control RAM 302c is updated to the update storage area. The effect control CPU 302a performs processing so as to rewrite the value (new accumulated payout number) and delete (clear) the values in the update storage area and the intermediate storage area. That is, the effect control CPU 302a can calculate the cumulative payout number of pachinko balls that have been paid out after the cumulative reference time by updating the value stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c every time the payout condition is satisfied. It has become.

  Here, in the embodiment, since a maximum of three payout appearances are performed with the input of one payout number signal, two intermediate storage areas are set in the effect control RAM 302c. In addition, when three payout appearances are made in accordance with the input of the payout number signal, an intermediate payout number obtained by accumulating the payout number of pachinko balls for each of the two intermediate payout appearances can be stored. . In the following description, the two intermediate storage areas may be referred to as a first intermediate storage area and a second intermediate storage area. Here, in the first intermediate storage area, the payout of the pachinko ball specified by the first payout appearance is made to the value stored in the reference storage area when the payout condition is satisfied (when the payout number signal is input). A value obtained by adding the number (first intermediate payout number) is stored, and in the second intermediate storage area, the value stored in the first intermediate storage area is specified by the second payout appearance. A value (second intermediate payout number) obtained by adding the payout numbers of pachinko balls is stored.

(About the execution timing of paying out appearance and update effect of cumulative payout number)
In addition, the effect control CPU 302a is executed after executing the payout appearance on the first auxiliary display unit 70 when any of the winning detection sensors SE detects a pachinko ball and the payout condition is satisfied. A value obtained by adding the number of payouts specified by the payout appearance to the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 before the execution of the payout appearance is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 and the cumulative payout number The update effect is configured to be executed. That is, a payout number signal is sent from the main control CPU 301a when a pachinko ball launched into the game area 31 of the game board 30 receives a prize (detected by the prize detection sensor SE) to any of the winning openings 51, 52, 56, 58a. When it is input to the effect control CPU 302a, one of the payout appearance patterns P1 to P6 is determined based on the payout number signal, and the payout appearance based on the determined payout appearance patterns P1 to P6 is a first auxiliary. The presentation control CPU 302a updates the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 every time the payout appearance is performed based on the payout appearance patterns P1 to P6.

  That is, when the payout appearance pattern (one of the first to third payout appearance patterns P1 to P3 or the fifth payout appearance pattern P5 in the embodiment) in which one payout appearance is performed is determined by the effect control CPU 302a. The number of payouts to be paid out when the payout conditions are established after the payout appearances are made based on the payout appearance patterns P1 to P3, P5 before the payout conditions are established (before execution of the payout appearances). A value (new cumulative payout number) added to the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 to update the cumulative payout number. ing. Then, the effect control CPU 302a determines a payout appearance pattern (in the embodiment, any of the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 and the sixth payout appearance pattern P6) in which a plurality of (two or three) payout appearances are performed. In such a case, the number of payouts specified by the payout appearance performed after each payout appearance appearance based on the payout appearance appearance patterns P4 and P6 is displayed in the second auxiliary display. The value (intermediate payout number) added to the cumulative payout number displayed in the section 80 is displayed (intermediate update) on the second auxiliary display section 80, and the payout condition is satisfied after the final payout appearance is made A value (new cumulative payout number) obtained by adding the payout amount to be paid out along with the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 before the payout condition is satisfied to the second auxiliary display unit 80. Displayed (final update) to update the cumulative number of payouts. It is configured to execute a new production.

  Here, the update of the value stored in the accumulated payout storage area when the payout condition is satisfied will be specifically described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 11 (a), 3335 are accumulated in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c as the cumulative number of pachinko balls paid out after the cumulative reference time, and the value stored in the reference storage area is the first value. 2 shows a state displayed on the auxiliary display unit 80. In this state, a payout number signal is input to the effect control CPU 302a triggered by the detection of the pachinko ball by the winning detection sensor SE, and a payout appearance pattern in which one payout appearance is performed (in the embodiment, the first to third payout appearances). If any of the patterns P1 to P3 and the fifth payout appearance pattern P5) is determined by the effect control CPU 302a, the payout number signal is set to the value (3335) stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c. A new accumulated payout number is calculated by adding the payout numbers (1, 2, 15, or 8) of the pachinko balls specified by the above, and the new accumulated payout number is updated in the update control area of the effect control RAM 302c. To remember. Here, FIG. 11B shows a change in the value stored in the cumulative payout number storage area of the effect control RAM 302c when the third payout appearance / payout pattern P3 is determined triggered by the detection of the special winning detection sensor SE3. Is shown. Thereafter, after the payout appearance based on the determined payout appearance pattern (third payout appearance pattern P3 in the example of FIG. 11) is performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70, the value stored in the update storage area The effect control CPU 302a updates the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 so that (3350) is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, and the update effect of the cumulative payout number is performed. Yes. And when the display of the 2nd auxiliary | assistant display part 80 is updated based on the value memorize | stored in the update memory area, the production control CPU302a stores the value (3350 pieces) memorize | stored in the update memory area in the reference memory area. While storing, the value memorize | stored in the update memory area is cleared. As described above, when one payout appearance is performed in accordance with one input of the payout number signal, a value obtained by accumulating the payout number specified by the payout appearance is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. It is possible to diversify the effect of updating the cumulative number of payouts and enhance the interest of the game.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, a payout number signal is input to the effect control CPU 302a triggered by the detection of the pachinko ball by the winning detection sensor SE, and the payout is performed a plurality of times (two or three in the embodiment). When the payout appearance pattern (the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 or the sixth payout appearance pattern P6 in the embodiment) in which the effect is performed is determined by the effect control CPU 302a, it is stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c. The value (3335) is added to the number (15 or 8) of the pachinko balls specified by the number-of-payouts signal to calculate a new cumulative number of payouts, and the new cumulative number of payouts is effect-controlled. Store in the update storage area of the RAM 302c. Here, FIGS. 12A and 12B show values (3350) stored in the accumulated payout amount storage area of the effect control RAM 302c when the fourth payout appearance / payout pattern P4 is determined triggered by the detection of the special winning detection sensor SE3. Change). Further, when the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 in which the three payout appearances are performed is determined, the value (3335) stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c is specified by the first payout appearance appearance. The first intermediate payout number (3337) is calculated by adding the payout number (2) of the pachinko balls to be stored, and the first intermediate payout number is stored in the first intermediate storage area of the effect control RAM 302c. At the same time, the value (3337) stored in the first intermediate storage area is added to the number (3) of payouts of pachinko balls specified by the second payout appearance and the second intermediate payout number (3340). And the second intermediate payout number is stored in the second intermediate storage area of the effect control RAM 302c (FIG. 12A (b)).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12A (c), after the first payout appearance is performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70 based on the fourth payout appearance pattern P4, the first intermediate storage area The effect control CPU 302a updates the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 (first intermediate update) so that the stored values (3337) are displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12B (a), after the second payout appearance is subsequently performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70, the values stored in the second intermediate storage area (3340) are stored. The effect control CPU 302a updates the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 (second intermediate update) so as to display on the second auxiliary display unit 80. Further, after the third payout appearance is performed on the first auxiliary display unit 70, the effect control is performed so that the value (3350) stored in the update storage area is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. The CPU 302a updates the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 (final update), thereby performing an update effect of a series of cumulative payout numbers (see FIG. 12B). When the display on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is updated to the value stored in the update storage area, the effect control CPU 302a stores the value (3350) stored in the update storage area in the reference storage area. At the same time, the values stored in the update storage area and each intermediate storage area are cleared. As described above, when a plurality of payout appearances are performed in accordance with the input of one payout number signal, the value obtained by accumulating the number of payouts specified by the payout appearance is calculated every time a payout appearance is performed. Can be displayed on the auxiliary display unit 80, and it is possible to diversify the effect of updating the cumulative payout and enhance the interest of the game. When the sixth payout appearance pattern P6 in which two payout appearances are performed is determined, basically, the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 in which the above three payout appearances are performed is determined. The same, but not stored in the second intermediate storage area.

(Prohibition of display of cumulative number of payouts)
Further, in the effect control ROM 302b of the embodiment, a specific cumulative number (hereinafter referred to as “prohibited display on the second auxiliary display unit 80”) is displayed when an effect of updating the cumulative payout number is performed in accordance with the establishment of the payout condition of the pachinko ball. , Called a specific cumulative number). In other words, when the cumulative payout number or the intermediate payout number becomes the specific cumulative number when performing the update effect of the cumulative payout number when the payout condition of the pachinko ball is satisfied (input of the payout number signal), the specific cumulative number The effect control CPU 302a controls to update the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 across the number. Here, the specific cumulative number that is prohibited from being displayed as the cumulative payout number or the intermediate payout number is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, so that it relates to the result of the symbol variation effect and the effect content of the symbol variation effect. A display value that may be misunderstood as an effect to be performed is set. Specifically, a numerical value that results in the same display result as a combination of production symbols (winning display) that can recognize that a bonus game (big hit game) is generated is set as the specific cumulative number, and the same numerical value as the winning display is the second. The auxiliary display unit 80 is not displayed. That is, in the embodiment, a value obtained by arranging three identical numerical values such as “222” and “777” is set as the specific cumulative number. In addition, among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of the design symbols are not the same, if a specific production design combination is set to be used as an opportunity to execute a specific production (for example, a special reach production), A numerical value that gives the same display result as the specific effect symbol combination is set as the specific cumulative number. This specific combination of effect symbols means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the combination of effect symbols as described above. For example, three numerical values are arranged in ascending or descending order. A value (for example, “123”, “321”) or a numerical value in which two values are the same and the value between the two of the same values is shifted by one (for example, “778”), and the three numerical values are a predetermined word alignment. (For example, “758” (Nagoya)) and the like. That is, by preventing the specific cumulative number from being displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, it is possible to prevent a misunderstanding that a special game (big hit game) or a specific effect is generated.

  Specifically, when the production control CPU 302a performs an update effect of the accumulated payout number when the payout condition of the pachinko ball is satisfied (input of the payout number signal), the accumulated payout number or the intermediate payout number is set to the specific accumulated number. In this case, the effect control CPU 302a controls the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 so as to perform the update effect so as not to display the specific cumulative number. For example, in the case where “777” and “778” are included in the set specific cumulative number, the detection of the special prize detection sensor SE3 is triggered when “775” is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. When the pachinko ball payout condition is satisfied and the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 is updated to “790” in accordance with the update effect of the cumulative payout number, the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 is changed to “ The effect control CPU 302a controls to change to “776” → “779” → “780” → “781” →... → “790”. Thus, when the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 is updated in accordance with the update effect of the cumulative payout number, the second cumulative display number is not displayed by not displaying the specific cumulative number (“777” or “778”). The display of the auxiliary display unit 80 can prevent the player from misunderstanding.

(About update delay)
In addition, when the production control CPU 302a performs the update effect of the cumulative payout number in accordance with the establishment of the payout condition of the pachinko ball, the second control value is set when the new cumulative payout number or the intermediate payout number becomes the specific cumulative number. The auxiliary display unit 80 is configured to be able to decide to delay (stop) the update of the accumulated payout number. Specifically, when the new cumulative payout number stored in the update storage area with the input of the payout number signal coincides with the specific cumulative number, the effect control CPU 302a performs the cumulative payout number in the second auxiliary display unit 80. Is configured to determine to delay the update (last update). That is, when the presentation control CPU 302a determines a delay in updating the cumulative payout number (final update) because the new cumulative payout number stored in the update storage area matches the specific cumulative number, the delay is set to The renewal effect of the cumulative payout number accompanying the input of the payout number signal that is the trigger for determination is not performed. That is, the effect control CPU 302a controls the second auxiliary display unit 80 so as to maintain the display before the payout condition is satisfied. In the embodiment, an auxiliary storage area is set in the effect control RAM 302c, and if the new cumulative payout number stored in the update storage area matches the specific cumulative number, the reference memory is stored before the payout condition is satisfied. The value stored in the area is stored in the auxiliary storage area, and the second auxiliary display unit 80 is displayed based on the value of the auxiliary storage area so that the display before the payout condition is satisfied can be maintained. It has become.

(When the new cumulative payout number matches the specific cumulative number)
Specifically, in the embodiment, when the new cumulative payout number stored in the update storage area with the input of the payout number signal coincides with the specific cumulative number, the effect control CPU 302a performs the second auxiliary display unit 80. Is configured to determine to delay updating the display of the cumulative payout number at. For example, as shown in FIG. 13A, when “777” and “778” are included in the specific cumulative number, a state where “775” is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 (that is, stored in the reference storage area). If the pachinko ball payout condition is met by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor SE2 in the state where the value is 775), the reference is made at the time of input of the payout number signal triggered by the win A value (777) obtained by accumulating the number of payouts (2) of pachinko balls specified by the number-of-payout signal in the value (775) stored in the storage area is a new cumulative number of payouts stored in the update storage area. Therefore (see FIG. 13A (b)), the effect control CPU 302a determines that the update of the display of the cumulative payout number is delayed (that is, the update effect of the cumulative payout number is not performed). Then, the value (775) stored in the reference storage area at the time of input of the payout number signal is stored (transferred) in the auxiliary storage area, and the display “775” before the payout condition is satisfied is maintained. The control CPU 302a controls the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 (see FIG. 13A (c)). As described above, the effect control CPU 302a according to the embodiment updates the cumulative payout number in the second auxiliary display unit 80 and determines whether to update the update when the payout condition is satisfied. When the cumulative number of payouts after the cumulative reference time becomes a specific cumulative number, the delay of updating the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is determined. Has been.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 302a determines to delay the update of the display of the cumulative payout number (that is, the update effect of the cumulative payout number is not performed), it is accompanied by the input of the payout number signal that triggered the determination. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to determine that the payout appearance is performed on the first auxiliary display unit 70. That is, when the production control CPU 302a determines the update (final update) delay of the cumulative payout number because the new cumulative payout number stored in the update storage area matches the specific cumulative number, the first Neither the appearance of payout on the auxiliary display unit 70 nor the effect of updating the cumulative number of payouts on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is configured to be performed, so that a sense of incongruity due to the fact that only one effect is performed does not occur. .

  Further, when the effect control CPU 302a determines that the update of the display of the accumulated payout number is delayed (that is, the update effect of the accumulated payout number is not performed), the predetermined accumulated value is triggered by the establishment of the payout condition after the next time. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to control the cumulative number of payouts after the reference time to be displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13A (c), when the effect control CPU 302a decides to delay updating the display of the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the payout condition is met. The value stored in the update storage area calculated in this way (the new cumulative number of payouts) is set as the value in the reference storage area. When the next payout condition is satisfied, the value is stored in this reference storage area. The accumulated number of payouts after the cumulative reference time including the number of payouts delayed in updating the display of the accumulated payout number by accumulating the number of payouts of the pachinko ball specified by the number-of-payout signal in the value is the second auxiliary display unit 80 can be displayed. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 13B described above, when it is determined to delay the update of the display of the cumulative payout number (that is, the update effect of the cumulative payout number is not performed), the reference is made at the time when the payout number signal is input. By storing the value (777) obtained by accumulating the number of payouts (2) of the pachinko balls specified by the number-of-payout signal in the value (775) stored in the storage area as the value in the reference storage area, When the payout condition is satisfied (for example, when the second start winning detection sensor SE2 detects), a new cumulative payout number (777) stored in the update storage area based on the value (777 pieces) of the reference storage area. ) Is calculated, an effect of updating the cumulative number of payouts can be performed (see FIGS. 13B (b) and 13 (c)).

(If the number of intermediate payments matches the specified cumulative number)
Further, when the intermediate payout number stored in the first or second intermediate storage area coincides with the specific cumulative number triggered by the input of the payout number signal, the effect control CPU 302a performs the cumulative payout in the second auxiliary display unit 80. It is configured to decide to delay updating the number display (intermediate update). That is, when the first intermediate payout number matches the specific cumulative number, the display of the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 based on the value stored in the first intermediate storage area (intermediate update) In the second auxiliary display unit 80 based on the value stored in the second intermediate storage area when the production control CPU 302a determines that the second intermediate payout number is equal to the specific cumulative number. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to determine that the update (intermediate update) of the display of the cumulative payout number is delayed. That is, when the number of intermediate payouts stored in the intermediate storage area matches the specific cumulative number, the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 based on the value that matches the specific cumulative number stored in the intermediate storage area Update is not performed. Further, when the effect control CPU 302a determines a delay in updating the accumulated payout number (intermediate update), the payout appearance on the first auxiliary display unit 70 is executed. If both the intermediate payout number stored in the intermediate storage area and the new cumulative payout number stored in the update storage area match the specific cumulative number, the payout appearance payout and the update effect of the cumulative payout number as described above, respectively. The effect control CPU 302a is determined not to perform the operation.

  For example, when “777” and “778” are included in the specific cumulative number, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the state where “775” is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 (that is, the reference memory). If the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 is determined in response to the detection of the special winning detection sensor SE3 and the fourth payout appearance pattern P4 is determined in the first intermediate storage area The value stored as the first intermediate payout number is 777, the value stored as the second intermediate payout number in the second intermediate storage area is 780, and is stored as the new cumulative payout number in the update storage area. There are 790 values (see FIG. 14A (b)). That is, since the first intermediate payout number stored in the first intermediate storage area matches the specific cumulative number, the display of the cumulative payout number based on the value stored in the first intermediate storage area (intermediate update) The effect control CPU 302a determines to delay (do not perform).

  In this case, after the first payout appearance is performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70 based on the fourth payout appearance pattern P4, the values stored in the first intermediate storage area (777 pieces). ) Is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 without updating the display on the second auxiliary display unit 80 (see FIG. 14A (c)). Then, after the second payout appearance is performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70, the second auxiliary display unit displays the value (780 pieces) stored in the second intermediate storage area. The display of 80 is updated (see FIG. 14B (a)), and the value (790) stored in the update storage area after the third payout appearance is subsequently performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70. By updating the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 so as to display “A”, a series of cumulative effects of updating the number of payouts is performed (see FIG. 14B (b)). If the second intermediate payout number stored in the second intermediate storage area matches the specific cumulative number, update of the cumulative payout number display based on the value stored in the second intermediate storage area (intermediate) The effect control CPU 302a determines that (update) is delayed (not performed). As described above, the production control CPU 302a according to the embodiment serves as intermediate update determination means for determining either execution of intermediate update in the second auxiliary display unit 80 or delay of the intermediate update in response to establishment of the payout condition. When the intermediate payout number stored in the intermediate storage area matches the specific cumulative number, a value that matches the specific cumulative number in the series of cumulative payout update effects is the second auxiliary display. The cumulative number of payouts after the cumulative reference time can be displayed in real time on the second auxiliary display unit 80 as a result of the update effect of the cumulative payout number while avoiding being displayed on the part 80. It has become.

(About execution of effects in the second auxiliary display unit 80)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the main control CPU 301a performs the determination per special figure in response to the detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2, the effect relating to the result of the determination per special figure is displayed in the second manner. The auxiliary display unit 80 can be executed. Here, the effect related to the result of the special symbol hit determination is an effect suggesting the possibility that a win display is displayed as a result of the symbol variation effect performed by the detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1, SE2, This is an effect that suggests the possibility that a specific reach effect will be performed in the symbol variation effect. In the following description, an effect related to the result of the determination per special figure performed by the second auxiliary display unit 80 is simply referred to as a notice effect. In the embodiment, the effect control CPU 302a is configured to determine whether or not to execute the notice effect on the second auxiliary display unit 80 based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 301a, and the second auxiliary display. When the execution of the notice effect in the unit 80 is determined, the display content displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is displayed from the display of the accumulated payout number obtained by accumulating the payout number of the pachinko balls specified by the payout appearance. It is configured to switch to the notice effect.

  In the embodiment, the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 301a includes a special figure fluctuation pattern in which the effect control CPU 302a can determine the execution of the notice effect and a special figure fluctuation pattern in which the execution of the notice effect cannot be determined. The main control CPU 301a determines a special pattern variation pattern that is included and can determine the execution of the notice effect, so that the effect control CPU 302a can determine the execution of the notice effect. Here, when the special figure fluctuation pattern for special figure is determined by the main control CPU 301a (when the determination for special figure is a positive determination result), the special figure fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation is determined ( Compared to the case where the special figure hit determination result is negative, the effect control CPU 302a is more easily determined to execute the notice effect in the second auxiliary display unit 80. In this way, the effect control CPU 302a of the embodiment can determine that the effect related to the result of the hit determination is displayed on the second display means in response to the winning of the pachinko ball at the start winning opening 51, 52. Based on the determination, the display content displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is switched between the cumulative payout number display and the notice effect display.

  Specifically, in the effect control ROM 302b of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, a predetermined number of notice effect execution enable / disable determination values for the notice effect execution (affirmative determination) and the notice effect non-execution (negative determination). Is set, and it is configured to determine whether or not to execute the notice effect based on the random number for determining whether or not the notice effect can be executed acquired by the effect control CPU 302a. In other words, when the value of the random number for determining whether or not the notice effect is obtained obtained by the effect control CPU 302a matches the determination value assigned to the execution of the notice effect, the effect control CPU 302a determines that the notice effect is executed, and the notice The effect control CPU 302a determines not to execute the notice effect when the value of the random number for determining whether or not the effect can be executed matches the determination value assigned to the non-execution of the notice effect. It should be noted that there is no overlap between the notice effect execution feasibility determination values assigned to the notice effect execution (affirmation determination) and the notice effect non-execution (negative determination). In the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as the random number for determining whether or not the notice effect can be performed and the determination value indicating whether or not the notice effect can be executed. The random number for determining whether or not the notice effect can be executed is updated at a predetermined period (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the effect control RAM 302c to rewrite the value before the update. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to acquire a random value stored in the effect control RAM 302c when a special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the effect control board 302 (effect control CPU 302a).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15, in the notice determination execution determination table according to the embodiment, for all the first off-line special figure fluctuation patterns, whether or not all the notice effects can be executed when the notice effect is not executed (negative determination). A determination value is assigned, and when the main control CPU 301a determines this special figure variation pattern, the notice effect is set not to be executed. In addition, for the second off-line special-figure variation pattern, 10 notice effect execution enable / disable determination values are assigned to the execution (affirmation determination) of the notice effect, and 90 values are not executed (not determined) to the notice effect. The notice effect execution possibility determination value is assigned, and when the main control CPU 301a determines this special figure variation pattern, the effect control CPU 302a can determine the execution of the notice effect at a rate of 10%. In addition, for the bonus special pattern variation pattern, 30 notice effect execution availability determination values are assigned to the execution (affirmation determination) of the notice effect, and 70 notice effect executions are executed to the non-execution (negative determination) of the notice effect. When the main control CPU 301a determines this special figure variation pattern, the effect control CPU 302a can determine the execution of the notice effect at a rate of 30%. As described above, in the embodiment, when the winning display is displayed as a result of the symbol variation effect (that is, when the main special CPU variation pattern is determined by the main control CPU 301a), the effect control CPU 302a determines the execution of the notice effect. It is set so as to be easy, and interest in raising the notice effect in the second auxiliary display unit 80 is increased.

  Also, when the execution control CPU 302a decides to execute the notice effect on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the payout condition of the pachinko ball is satisfied until the notice effect ends (the number-of-payout signal). The second auxiliary display unit 80 is determined not to perform an update effect of at least the cumulative payout number when the input is performed. That is, when the effect control CPU 302a determines the execution of the notice effect, the notice effect is performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 in preference to the update effect of the cumulative payout number. Therefore, when the winning detection sensor SE detects the pachinko ball while the notice effect is being performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the notice effect is continuously performed, so that the notice effect and the cumulative number of payouts are obtained. Can be prevented from being confused by the player.

  In addition, when the execution of the notice effect on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is determined, the pachinko ball payout condition is satisfied (input of the payout number signal) until the notice effect is finished. The effect control CPU 302a can determine to execute the payout appearance on one auxiliary display unit 70. That is, when the winning detection sensor SE detects a pachinko ball while the notice effect is being performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, a payout is generated by the payout appearance on the first auxiliary display unit 70. The player can grasp what has been done. Here, while the notice effect is performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the payout appearance is executed on the first auxiliary display unit 70 in accordance with the establishment of the payout condition of the pachinko ball (input of the number-of-payout signal). It can also be configured such that the effect control CPU 302a decides not to do so. As described above, the second auxiliary display unit 80 is configured to prevent the payout appearance from being performed on the first auxiliary display unit 70 while the notice effect is being performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying the notice effect to be displayed and the update effect of the cumulative payout number that is performed following the payout appearance.

  Further, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball is satisfied (when the payout number signal is input) while the notice effect is performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the payout number signal is input. The effect control CPU 302a updates the value stored and held in the reference storage area of the cumulative payout storage area every time. That is, if the payout condition for the pachinko ball is established (the number-of-payout signal is input) between the execution of the notice effect on the second auxiliary display unit 80 and the end of the notice effect, With the end of the notice effect, the effect control CPU 302a controls the second auxiliary display unit 80 to display the cumulative number of payouts after the predetermined cumulative reference time. Specifically, each time the payout number signal is input, the number of pachinko balls specified by the payout number signal is calculated as in the case where the cumulative payout number or the intermediate payout number becomes the specific cumulative number. This is realized by storing the accumulated value (new accumulated payout number) in the reference storage area each time. As described above, when the payout condition of the pachinko ball is satisfied (the payout number signal is input) while the notice effect is performed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the value of the reference storage area in the effect control RAM 302c is set as follows. By rewriting to the new cumulative number of payouts associated with the establishment of the payout conditions, the cumulative number of payouts after the cumulative base time including the number of payouts paid out during the advance notice effect is changed to the second with the end of the notice effect. Can be displayed on the auxiliary display unit 80.

(About identification display)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured to display an identification display for distinguishing between the display of the cumulative payout number and the display of the notice effect in the second auxiliary display unit 80 on the second auxiliary display unit 80. Is done. In the embodiment, when the cumulative number of payouts is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, a display area displaying the cumulative number of payouts as the first identification display indicating that the cumulative payout number is displayed. When displaying two horizontal lines (see FIG. 11 and the like) on the left and right display areas 81 sandwiching 81 and displaying a notice effect on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the first identification display is not displayed. It is set as follows. In other words, the effect control CPU 302a switches the display content to be displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 to the display of the cumulative payout number and the display of the notice effect based on the execution / non-execution of the notice effect. Is displayed, the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 is controlled so as to display the identification display together with the display of the cumulative payout number.

  Here, a second identification display (identification display indicating that the notice effect is displayed) that can be distinguished from the first identification display that indicates that the cumulative number of payouts is displayed is set, and the second identification display is set. When displaying the notice effect in the auxiliary display unit 80, the effect control CPU 302a may control the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 so as to display the second identification display together with the notice effect. . The second identification display can be realized, for example, by displaying two vertical lines in the left and right display areas 81 constituting the second auxiliary display unit 80. When the second identification display is displayed together with the notice effect, the display of the first identification display indicating that the cumulative payout number is displayed may be omitted. That is, the effect control CPU 302a displays an identification display for distinguishing between the display of the cumulative payout number and the display of the notice effect on the second auxiliary display unit 80 together with the display of the cumulative payout number and the notice effect. Configured to control display. In this way, by displaying the identification display on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the display of the cumulative payout displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 and the notice effect are clearly distinguished without being confused. The player can understand.

(Regarding the display switching of the cumulative payout amount associated with the operation of the operation button 22)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the player can switch the display of the cumulative payout number and the non-display of the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 by operating the operation button 22. Has been. In the embodiment, when the operation signal from the operation button 22 is input to the effect control CPU 302a, the effect control CPU 302a displays the accumulated payout number and hides the accumulated payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80. Is configured to determine. Then, the presentation control CPU 302a determines the display of the cumulative payout number based on the input of the operation signal, thereby displaying the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 and determining the non-display of the cumulative payout number. Thus, the cumulative payout number is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. That is, the production control CPU 302a of the embodiment functions as a display determination unit capable of determining display of the cumulative payout number and non-display of the cumulative payout number based on the operation of the operation means provided so that the player can operate, Based on the determination, the display and non-display of the cumulative payout amount on the second auxiliary display unit 80 are switched.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, a predetermined switching operation effective period is set, and every time an operation signal is input to the effect control CPU 302a in accordance with the operation of the operation button 22 in the switching operation effective period. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to alternately determine display of the cumulative payout number and non-display of the cumulative payout number. That is, every time the operation button 22 is operated during the switching operation valid period, the display and non-display of the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 are alternately switched. Here, as the switching operation valid period, it is possible to set a demonstration effect period in which a demonstration effect is performed, a period until a predetermined time elapses from the start of the symbol variation effect, a period in which a bonus game is performed, etc. It is also possible to arbitrarily set other than these periods.

  Further, a state in which the cumulative number of payouts is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 (that is, the display of the cumulative payout number is determined after the non-display of the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is determined). When the pachinko ball payout condition is satisfied (when the payout number signal is input), the effect control CPU 302a determines to execute the payout appearance on the first auxiliary display unit 70. It is configured as follows. In other words, when the winning detection sensor SE detects a pachinko ball in a state where the cumulative number of payouts is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the first auxiliary display unit 70 performs a payout appearance to make a win. The player can grasp that it has occurred. Here, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball is satisfied when the accumulated payout number is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 (when the payout number signal is input), the first auxiliary display unit 70 It is also possible for the effect control CPU 302a to determine that no payout appearance is to be executed. By preventing the first auxiliary display unit 70 from performing the payout appearance in the state where the cumulative number of payouts is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the connection from the payout appearance to the update effect of the cumulative payout number is performed. It is possible to maintain a certain production.

  In addition, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball is satisfied when the accumulated payout number is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 (when the payout number signal is input), the payout number signal is input. The effect control CPU 302a updates the cumulative payout number stored and held in the reference storage area of the cumulative payout number memory area every time. That is, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball is satisfied (the payout number signal is input) in a state where the cumulative payout number is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the display switches to the display of the cumulative payout number. As described above, the effect control CPU 302a controls the second auxiliary display unit 80 to display the cumulative number of payouts after the predetermined cumulative reference time. Specifically, each time the payout number signal is input, the number of pachinko balls specified by the payout number signal is calculated as in the case where the cumulative payout number or the intermediate payout number becomes the specific cumulative number. This is realized by storing the accumulated value (new accumulated payout number) in the reference storage area each time. As described above, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball is satisfied (the payout number signal is input) in a state where the cumulative payout number is not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the reference storage area in the effect control RAM 302c is stored. By rewriting the value to a new cumulative payout number associated with the establishment of the payout condition, the operation button 22 indicates the cumulative payout number after the cumulative reference time including the payout amount paid out while the cumulative payout number is not displayed. Can be displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 in accordance with the above operation.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  When the player rotates the operation handle 16 provided on the front side of the middle frame 12, a pachinko ball launched from the hitting ball launching device 17 is defined by a guide rail 33 provided on the game board 30. It is driven into the game area 31 and flows down in the game area 31 while changing the flow direction by contacting the game nail 37 and the like. Then, a determination for a special figure is made when a pachinko ball flowing down the game area 31 wins the first start winning opening 51 or the second start winning opening 52, and based on the result of the determination per special figure. The special symbol display is performed in the corresponding first special symbol display unit D1 and second special symbol display unit D2, and the symbol variation effect is started in the symbol display device 25. As a result of the symbol variation effect, the symbol display device 25 is displayed. The bonus game is generated by displaying the effect symbol in a predetermined symbol combination. When the bonus game is generated, the special winning portion 55 provided in the game board 30 is opened and a special symbol effect is performed on the symbol display device 25.

  Then, when the corresponding winning detection sensors SE1 to SE4 detect the pachinko balls won in any of the winning openings 51, 52, 56, 58a and the payout conditions for the pachinko balls are satisfied, the winning detection sensors SE1 to SE1 are satisfied. Based on the SE4 ball detection signal, the main control CPU 301a outputs a payout instruction signal indicating the payout of the pachinko ball and the payout number (number of prize balls) to the payout control board 310, and based on the payout instruction signal. The payout control board 310 controls the operation of the payout device 312 to pay out the number of pachinko balls indicated by the payout instruction signal. In addition, a payout number signal that can identify the number of payouts of the pachinko balls to be paid out in accordance with the establishment of the payout condition of the pachinko balls is input from the main control CPU 301a to the effect control CPU 302a, and triggered by the input of the payout number signal. The control CPU 302a executes payout appearance on the first auxiliary display unit 70. In this way, when the payout condition for the pachinko ball is established, the payout appearance according to the number of payouts of the pachinko ball is displayed on the first auxiliary display unit 70, so that the player can be paid out. Can be visually recognized. Here, the production control CPU 302a determines one of the first to sixth payout appearance patterns P1 to P6 based on the payout number signal, and executes the payout appearance based on the determined payout appearance pattern. Therefore, it is possible to diversify the payout appearances performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70 with the winning mouths 51, 52, 56, 58a as an opportunity, and the player's performance on the first auxiliary display unit 70 Increase interest.

  In addition, when paying out pachinko balls in accordance with the establishment of the payout conditions, the number of pachinko balls specified by the payout appearance displayed on the first auxiliary display unit 70 is calculated from the cumulative reference time. It is configured to update the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 so as to display the new accumulated payout number accumulated in the payout number (cumulative payout number) paid out until the payout condition is satisfied. Therefore, it is possible to refer to the cumulative number of pachinko balls that have been paid out from the cumulative reference time, and to increase the player's interest in the game. And, by setting the timing different from the bonus game as the accumulation reference time, and accumulating the number of pachinko balls paid out after the accumulation reference time, grasp the change in the number of pachinko balls paid out in a relatively long time interval. It becomes possible to do. In the embodiment, the time point at which the game starts in the pachinko machine 10 after the start-up process associated with the start of power supply (when power is turned on or when power is restored) or the ram clear process associated with the input of the clear signal becomes possible at the cumulative reference time. Since the number of pachinko balls paid out after the cumulative reference time (cumulative payout number) is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the winning is made with reference to the display on the second auxiliary display unit 80. The player can select the pachinko machine 10 to play while guessing the possibility that the pachinko ball will win the mouth 51, 52, 56, 58a, and the effect of increasing the willingness to play the game can be expected.

  In addition, as the payout appearance performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70, a single payout appearance that can identify that a single pachinko ball is paid out, and a plurality (in the embodiment, 2, 3, 8, 15) ) Can be executed in accordance with an arbitrary number of payouts generated by the pachinko machine 10. In addition, by making it possible to perform multiple payout appearances, when a large number of pachinko balls are paid out in accordance with the establishment of the pachinko ball payout conditions, the number of pachinko balls to be paid out by performing the multiple payout appearance is reduced for a short time. Can be recognized by the player, and the number of paid-out pachinko balls can be promptly reflected in the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80.

  Also, by setting a specific multiple payout appearance that can identify the maximum number of pachinko balls that can be paid out in accordance with the establishment of a single payout condition, a large number of pachinko balls can be added to the special prize opening 56 in a short time in the bonus game. Even when a prize is won, payout appearance can be quickly executed in the first auxiliary display unit 70. For this reason, even in a situation where a large number of pachinko balls are won in a short time, such as in a bonus game, the number of pachinko balls to be paid out when the pachinko ball payout conditions are satisfied is quickly displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. The player can easily refer to the accumulated pachinko balls paid out from the accumulation reference time at a desired timing. In the embodiment, when the pachinko ball wins the special winning opening 56, the effect control CPU 302a determines the third or fourth payout appearance pattern P3, P4, and the pachinko ball wins the normal winning slot 58a. The effect control CPU 302a is configured to determine the fifth or sixth payout appearance pattern P5, P6, and determines one payout appearance or a combination of a plurality of payout appearances according to the payout number of the pachinko balls to be paid out. It is like that. In other words, when a pachinko ball is awarded to the same winning opening (special winning opening 56 or ordinary winning opening 58a), one paying appearance may be made according to the number of pachinko balls to be paid out, or multiple payouts may be made By performing the production, it is possible to prevent the payout appearance performed in the first auxiliary display unit 70 from becoming monotonous and to increase the interest in the payout appearance.

  In addition, when the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 is updated, the effect control CPU 302a is configured to control the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 to be updated across a specific cumulative number. That is, when displaying the cumulative number of payouts on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the specific cumulative number of payouts that may cause misunderstandings to the player is updated by updating over the specific cumulative number of payouts. Display on the display unit 80 can be prevented. For example, when a specific cumulative payout number is set as a specific cumulative payout number (for example, “777”, etc.) that a player may misidentify as a bonus game is generated, the change changes over the specific cumulative payout number. Thus, by controlling the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80, it is possible to prevent the update effect of the cumulative payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80 from being misidentified as a notice effect related to the determination result of the special figure determination. The numerical value displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 can prevent the player from causing unnecessary confusion.

  Further, when the cumulative payout number displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is a specific cumulative payout number, by prohibiting the update of the cumulative payout number and not displaying the specific cumulative payout number, It is possible to prevent a specific cumulative payout number that may cause misunderstandings to the player from being displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. For example, the cumulative payout displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 in a state in which a number (for example, “777”, etc.) that may be misidentified by the player as a bonus game is generated is set as the specific cumulative payout number. When the number or the number of intermediate payouts is a specific cumulative number, the second auxiliary display unit 80 is stopped from updating the display so that the specific cumulative payout number is not displayed. It is possible to prevent confusion caused by the numerical value displayed on the display unit 80. In addition, the effect control CPU 302a is configured to update the cumulative payout number stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c when the payout condition is satisfied, regardless of whether or not the update of the cumulative payout number is delayed (stopped). Thus, even if the update of the cumulative payout number is delayed (stopped), the cumulative value including the payout number of the pachinko balls not displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80 is triggered when the payout condition is satisfied after the next time. The number of payouts is displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. That is, the cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of pachinko balls dispensed after the cumulative reference time can be accurately displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80.

  In addition, in the embodiment, the second auxiliary display unit 80 is configured to perform a notice effect regarding the result of the hit determination by the hit determination means in addition to executing the update effect of the cumulative payout number. Thus, the display of the cumulative number of pachinko balls paid out after the cumulative reference time and the display of the notice effect regarding the result of the hit determination by the hit determination means are displayed on the same second auxiliary display unit 80. By making it obtain, it is possible to diversify the effects produced by the display of the second auxiliary display unit 80. In addition, a state in which the cumulative payout number is displayed is configured by displaying the identification display on the second auxiliary display unit 80 along with at least one of the display of the cumulative number and the display of the notice effect. It is possible to effectively prevent the player from misidentifying that the notice effect is being performed. In addition, when the payout condition is established when the pachinko ball wins in each of the winning openings 51, 52, 56, and 58a while the second auxiliary display unit 80 performs the notice effect, the payout condition is satisfied. The effect control CPU 302a updates the cumulative payout number stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c. For this reason, when the notice effect is finished and the accumulated amount of payouts can be displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the number of pachinko balls to be paid out based on the winnings during the notice effect is displayed. The cumulative number of payouts included can be displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, and the cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of payouts of pachinko balls after the cumulative reference time can be accurately displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. Can do.

  Further, by configuring the player to operate the operation button 22 during a predetermined switching operation valid period, it is possible to arbitrarily switch between display and non-display of the cumulative payout number in the second auxiliary display unit 80, The display of the second auxiliary display unit 80 can be switched in accordance with the player's various preferences and the game can be performed, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. In addition, when the payout condition is satisfied when the pachinko ball wins in each of the winning openings 51, 52, 56, and 58a without displaying the accumulated payout number on the second auxiliary display unit 80, the payout condition is established. The effect control CPU 302a updates the cumulative payout number stored in the reference storage area of the effect control RAM 302c. For this reason, when the player switches to a state in which the cumulative number of payouts is displayed in accordance with the operation of the operation button 22, the number of pachinko balls paid out based on the winning in the state where the cumulative number of payouts is not displayed is calculated. The cumulative number of payouts included can be displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80, and the cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of payouts of pachinko balls after the cumulative reference time can be accurately displayed on the second auxiliary display unit 80. Can do.

(Change example)
In addition, as a gaming machine, not only what was shown in the Example but various structures are employable.

(1) In the embodiment, the first display means (first auxiliary display unit 70) for displaying the payout appearance that can identify the payout number of the game media to be paid out when the game media payout condition is satisfied, Although it is provided separately from the display means (symbol display device 25), a part of the effect display means may be used as a display unit as the first display means. For example, a part of the display area in the effect display means can be used as the display unit as the first display means. Further, the configuration of the first display means (first auxiliary display unit 70) is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and the number of game media paid out in accordance with the establishment of the payout condition can be directly or Any configuration that can indirectly display and execute the payout appearance may be used. For example, as a configuration for directly displaying the number of game media payouts and executing payout appearance, a plurality of display units for displaying different numerical values are provided in the first display means (first auxiliary display unit 70). This can be realized by emitting light on the display unit on which a numerical value corresponding to the number of game media paid out in accordance with the establishment of the payout condition is displayed. In addition, as a configuration for indirectly displaying the number of game media payouts and performing payout appearance, one or a plurality of display units capable of emitting light with different emission colors are used as the first display means (first auxiliary display unit). 70) and the light emission color of the display unit is set for each payout number of game media (for example, white light emission when the payout number is 1, blue light emission when the payout number is 2, red when payout number is 15) This can be realized by emitting light on the display unit with a light emission color corresponding to the number of game media to be paid out when the payout condition is satisfied.
(2) In the embodiment, the second display means for displaying the cumulative number of game media payouts specified by the payout appearance displayed on the first display means when the game medium payout condition is satisfied. Although the (second auxiliary display section 80) is provided separately from the effect display means (symbol display device 25), a part of the effect display means may be used as a display section as the second display means. . For example, a part of the display area in the effect display unit can be used as a display unit as the second display unit.

You may make it comprise a 1st and 2nd display means divided into a display means. For example, when a liquid crystal display device is adopted as the display means, a partition member is disposed on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device so as to be apparently provided with a plurality of display means, and one divided display region is The first display means for displaying the payout appearance may be used, and the separate display area may be the second display means for displaying the cumulative number of accumulated payout numbers of the game media. The object for dividing one display means into a plurality of display means (display areas) is not limited to a liquid crystal display device, but a dot matrix type in which a plurality of point light sources are arranged in a two-dimensional shape (vertical and horizontal rows). Other display devices known in the art may be employed.

(4) In the embodiment, the timing at which the start processing and the ram clear processing are performed in the gaming machine is set as the cumulative reference time, and the game medium specified by the payout appearance displayed on the first display means after the cumulative reference time. The accumulated number of payouts is configured to be displayed on the second display means. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the timing is different from that of a bonus game that is triggered when the winning determination becomes a winning determination result. Can be set at the cumulative reference time. For example, the timing at which a specific effect (for example, a specific reach effect) is executed in the effect display means may be set at the accumulation reference time. In this case, the first display is performed after the specific effect is performed. The cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of game media payouts specified by the payout appearances displayed by the means can be displayed. Further, it may be a cumulative reference time that the start opening determination performed when the start opening determination condition is satisfied becomes a determination result for opening the start opening. In this case, the determination result that the start opening determination is opened. After that, it is possible to display the cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of game media payouts specified by the payout appearance displayed on the first display means.
(5) Further, the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from the timing at which the gaming machine activation process or the ram clear process is performed may be determined as the cumulative reference time. For example, the cumulative reference time can be reset every time a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) has elapsed from the timing at which the game machine activation process and the ram clear process associated with the input of the clear signal are performed. When resetting the cumulative reference time, it is preferable to clear the cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of game media payouts until the resetting. In addition, by setting a plurality of cumulative reference times, the cumulative reference time for starting accumulation of the number of game media payouts by random lottery at a predetermined cumulative reference determination timing such as the timing at which the startup process or the ram clear process is performed is determined. You can also
(6) The cumulative number of game media payouts determined between the accumulation reference time and the accumulation end time is determined in the second display means by determining the cumulative end time at which the accumulation of game media payout numbers is terminated. You may make it display. In this case, it is possible to allow the player to identify the cumulative number obtained by accumulating the number of game media paid out during a predetermined period.

(7) In the embodiment, the second display means is configured to be able to display an effect (notice effect) related to the result of the hit determination by the hit determination means. However, the second display means accumulates the number of game media payouts. Only the accumulated number may be displayed.
(8) In the embodiment, the second display means is configured to display an effect (notice effect) relating to the result of the hit determination by the hit determining means, and the payout condition is satisfied while the notice effect is being performed. In this case, the number of game media payouts to be paid out in accordance with the establishment of the payout conditions is accumulated internally, but the number of game media payouts to be paid out during the notice effect is not accumulated. It may be.
