The computer of the lamp control board 35 receives the control information from the effect control board 33 and the signals from the effect operating device 6 (origin SW) and the movable accessory device 17 (origin SW), and the effect operating device 6 (electric motor). The frame lamp 38a, the panel lamp 38b, and the movable accessory device 17 (electric motor) are controlled, and control information is output to the effect control board 33.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the functions of the respective means 40 to 45, 50 to 55, 59, which are mainly constituted by a computer of the game control board 31, the effect control board 33, the image control board 34, and the lamp The functions of the respective means 60 to 64 shown in the figure, which are mainly composed of a computer of the control board 35, will be described. First, the special figure counter means 40 sequentially updates the jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value every minute time within the set range.

  When the first special figure holding number is less than 4, and the special figure acquisition means 41 wins the first starting port 10, the special figure counter means 40 updates the jackpot determination value, symbol determination value, reach When the determination value and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information and the second special figure holding number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the second start port 11a, the special figure counter The jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value updated by the means 40 are acquired as a set of second special figure determination information.

  The special figure hold storage means 42 stores special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 and not subjected to determination by the determination means 43a of the special figure determination means 43, and is stored in the special figure reservation storage means 42. The number of the first special figure determination information is the first special figure hold number, and the number of the second special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 is the second special figure hold number.

  The special figure determination information stored in the special figure holding storage means 42 (if a plurality of special figure determination information is stored, one of the special figure determination information stored first is the special symbol determination information). Every time the change starts, the determination means 43 a uses the determination and erases it from the special figure holding storage means 42. However, when both the first and second special figure determination information are stored in the special figure hold storage means 42, the second special figure determination information has priority over the first special figure determination information, and the determination means 43a. And may be deleted from the special figure holding storage means 42.

  In the special figure determination means 43, the determination means 43a determines whether or not to perform a special game advantageous to the player based on the special figure determination information stored in the special figure holding storage means 42 every time the special symbol changes. If it is determined that a special game is to be performed, a plurality of special games ("first special game (8R short-term open)", "second special game (8R long-term open)", "first" shown in FIG. 9 (a) 3 special games (16R long-term opening) ”), and a plurality of game states (“ normal game state ”,“ short-time game state ”,“ latent probability game state ”“ probability change ”shown in FIG. 10) It is determined which of the “gaming state”) is to be set, and further, a special figure variation time for variably displaying the special symbol is determined (determined).

  In the special figure determination means 43, the prior determination means 43b is based on the special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 before the determination means 43a makes a determination. When the special figure determination information is acquired by 41, the determination equivalent to the determination by the determination means 43a is made with respect to the special figure determination information (determination of whether or not to perform a special game, when determining to perform a special game) The determination of which of a plurality of special games is to be performed, which of a plurality of gaming states is set after completion of the special game, and the determination of the special figure variation time) are performed in advance.

  The special figure display control unit 44 starts the variable display of the first special symbol when the determination unit 43a makes a determination based on the first special figure determination information, and based on the second special figure determination information. In response to the determination, the second special symbol variation display is started, the special symbol variation time determined by the determination unit 43a and the special symbol are displayed in a variable manner, and then the determination result by the determination unit 43a. Is stopped and displayed with the judgment symbol.

  When it is determined that the special game is executed by the determination unit 43a, the special game execution unit 45 is determined by the determination unit 43a after the special symbol is stopped and displayed by the special figure display control unit 44. A special game (“first special game”, “second special game”, or “third special game”) is performed, and in the special game, a corresponding opening pattern (“first special game” is “8R short-term open”) In the “second special game”, the “8R long-term opening” and in the “third special game” the “16R long-term opening”), the grand prize opening 13a is opened, and in the “8R short-term opening”, a game ball is substantially acquired. However, in “8R long-term release”, for example, about 1000 game balls can be obtained, and in “16R long-term release”, for example, about 2000 game balls can be obtained.

  On the other hand, the common figure counter means 50 sequentially updates the hit determination value and the common figure determination value every minute time. When the number of pending drawings is less than 4, the usual figure obtaining means 51, when the game ball passes the gate 12, the hit judgment value updated by the usual figure counter means 50 and the common figure judgment value are set as one set of universal figures. Get figure determination information. The general map hold storage unit 52 stores general map determination information that is acquired by the general map acquisition unit 51 and is not subjected to determination by the general map determination unit 53, and is stored in the general map storage unit 52. The number of pieces of judgment information is the number of reserved drawings.

  The common figure determination information stored in the general figure hold storage means 52 (if a plurality of common figure determination information is stored, one of the common figure determination information stored first) is the normal symbol. Every time the change starts, it is subjected to determination by the general figure determination means 53 and is erased from the general figure hold storage means 52. The universal symbol determination means 53 determines whether or not to perform an auxiliary game based on the universal symbol determination information stored in the universal map hold storage means 52 every time the change of the normal symbol starts, and determines that the auxiliary game is to be performed. In this case, it is determined which of a plurality of auxiliary games (“first auxiliary game (short-term release)” and “second auxiliary game (long-term release)” shown in FIG. 9B) is to be performed. The general map display control means 54 starts the normal symbol fluctuation display when the determination is made by the general graphic determination means 53, and then stops display with the determination symbol indicating the determination result by the general graphic determination means 53. Let

  When it is determined by the common figure determination means 53 that the auxiliary game execution means 55 determines to perform the auxiliary game, the general figure display control means 54 stops and displays the normal symbol at the determination symbol, and then determines by the general figure determination means 53. The auxiliary game (“first auxiliary game” or “second auxiliary game”) is performed, and in the auxiliary game, the corresponding release pattern (“first auxiliary game” is “short-term open”, “second auxiliary game”). In the “game”, the second starting port 11a is opened by “long-term opening”, and in the “short-term opening”, game balls can hardly be won in the second starting port 11a. It becomes possible to win a game ball in the second start port 11a.

  The gaming state control means 59 sets any one of a plurality of gaming states (“normal gaming state”, “short-time gaming state”, “latent probability gaming state”, “probability varying gaming state” shown in FIG. 10), and plays a game in the gaming state. Control. When the power is turned on, the game state at the time of the previous power-off is continuously set. When the so-called RAM clear is executed when the power is turned on, the “normal game state” is set. After the special game is finished, the determination means 43a If the gaming state determined by the above is set and a gaming state other than the “normal gaming state” is set, then the setting is changed to the “normal gaming state” when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In the “normal game state”, the winning probability determined to perform the special game by the special figure determining means 34 is low (for example, 1/320), and the second starting port operation mode opens the second starting port 11a for a long time. In the “short-time gaming state”, the winning probability is low, and the second starting port operating mode is the high operating mode in which the second starting port 11a is easily opened for a long period of time. . In the “latent gaming state”, the winning probability is high (for example, 1/32), the second starting port operating mode is the low operating mode, and in the “probable gaming state”, the winning probability is high, 2 Start-up operation mode becomes high operation mode.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the effect control means 60 has a change effect control means 61, a hold effect control means 62, a special game effect control means 63, and a prefetch effect control means 64. Based on the control, the effect means 70 (the effect button device 6, the image display device 16, the movable accessory device 17, the speaker 37, the lamps 38a and 38b) is caused to produce an effect accompanying the progress of the game. The effect control means 60 and the effect means 70 correspond to an effect execution means capable of executing a predetermined effect.

  The variation effect control means 61 is an image (moving image) displayed on the screen 16a of the image display device 16 when the special symbol is variably displayed by the special figure display control means 44, and the speaker 37 according to the image. The determination result based on the determination result by the determination means 43a based on the output sound and, in some cases, the operation of the effect button 6a of the effect operation device 6 and the operation of the movable body 17a of the movable accessory device 17. Of a plurality of symbol variation effects (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,..., N shown in FIG. 11) according to the special symbol variation time determined by the determination means 43a. The design variation effect selected from the inside is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, each of the symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,..., N is expected to have a special game (determined to perform a special game by the determination means 43a); Are classified into one of “first type variation effect” and “big second variation effect” and “third type variation effect” whose jackpot expectation is higher than “first type variation effect”. If the determination means 43a determines that the special game is not to be performed, the “first type variation effect” or the “second type variation effect” is performed. If it is determined that the special game is to be performed, the “third type variation effect”. Is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the symbol variation effect, basically, (1) after three groups of effect symbol sequences 16c start to fluctuate, (2) the effect symbol “X” on the left side fluctuates. (3) The effect design “Y” on the right side is variably stopped, (4) The effect design “Z” in the center is displayed to variably stop, and these three stop design sequences “XZY” are confirmed and displayed. Thus, a combination display mode indicating the determination result by the determination unit 43a is obtained.

  In a specific symbol variation effect, as shown in FIG. 13, (1) after the three effect symbol sequences 16c start to vary, (2) first, the left effect symbol “7” stops varying, and (3) Next, when the production symbol “1” on the right side stops variably, the production symbols “7” and “1” are in a non-reach state. (4) Next, the production symbol “6” in the center stops variably. When the loss stop symbol string “761” is confirmed and displayed, the determination result “losing” is notified.

  (2) After the left effect symbol “7” stops changing, and (5) when the right effect symbol “7” stops changing, these reach symbols “7” and “7” are in a reach state, and “reach effect”. When “normal reach production” that does not shift to the development production is performed in that “reach production”, then, (6) the center production design “6” stops variably and becomes a “767” stop-stop design sequence Is determined and displayed, the determination result of “losing” is notified. (7) When the center effect symbol “7” stops variably and the hit stop symbol string “777” is displayed, A determination result of “big hit” is notified.

  (5) After the “reach effect” starts, in the “reach effect”, (8) the effect symbols “7” and “7” move to the screen corner side and are reduced and displayed, and the development effect “SP reach effect” After that, when the “SP reach production” ends, (6) the center production symbol “6” stops variably, and when the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, (7) When the center effect symbol “7” stops variably and the hit stop symbol string “777” is fixedly displayed, the determination result “big hit” is notified.

  (5) After the “reach production” is started, in the “reach production”, (8) “SP reach production” is not performed or “SP reach production” is performed. When “7” and “7” are moved to the corner of the screen and displayed in a reduced size, and the “SP / SP reach production” which is the development effect is performed, the “SP / SP reach production” is terminated. When the production symbol “6” of FIG. 6 stops variably and the loss stop symbol string “767” is fixedly displayed, the determination result of “losing” is notified, and (7) the central production symbol “7” fluctuates. When it stops and the winning stop symbol string “777” is fixedly displayed, the determination result of “big hit” is notified.

  “SP” means a special, “SP reach production” is basically a production with a higher expectation of big hit than “normal reach production”, and “SP / SP reach production” is basically “SP This is a production that has a higher expectation level than the “reach production”. In addition, a series of effects from (1) to (4) in FIG. 13 is “first type variation effect”, a series of effects from (1) to (6) is “second type variation effect”, (1). A series of effects from (7) to (7) is a “third type variation effect”.

  The hold effect control means 62 stores the special figure hold number (total of the first and second special figure hold numbers) and a considerable number of hold symbols 16 b in the special figure hold storage means 42 on the screen 16 b of the image display device 16. The reserved symbols corresponding to the first special symbol determination information and the reserved symbols corresponding to the second special symbol determination information are displayed in a distinguishable manner for each special symbol determination information. 3 to 6, three reserved symbols 16b are displayed.

  The special game effect control means 63, when a special game is being performed by an image (moving image) displayed on the screen 16a of the image display device 16 and a sound output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image, A special game effect is performed according to the special game or the game state set after the special game ends, and an ending effect is performed at the end of the special game effect.

  The pre-reading effect control means 64 determines whether or not to perform the pre-reading effect based on the determination result by the pre-determining means 43b, and when it is determined that the pre-reading effect is to be performed, the special figure determination that is the target of the pre-reading effect. With respect to information, before the special figure determination information is subjected to the determination by the determination information 43a, the determination result by the prior determination means 43b can be suggested by the symbol variation effect or the reserved symbol, and the jackpot expectation can be increased. Make a look-ahead effect.

  Based on the determination result by the determination unit 43a, the variation effect control unit 61 determines that the “specific variation effect” (for example, at least some “second type variation effect”, at least some “third type variation effect”). ”), The“ movable body effect ”using the movable accessory device 17 (movable body 17a) is performed in the“ specific variation effect ”, and the“ movable body effect ”is shown in FIG. The “first effect” shown in FIG. 14 (2), the “third effect” shown in FIG. 14 (3), and the “fourth effect” shown in FIG. 14 (4) are executed. In other words, any “movable body effect” of “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect” is alternatively selected and executed.

  In the “first effect” and the “second effect” shown in FIGS. 14 (1) and 14 (2), the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2 when it is at the first position B1 (moves to the second position B2). (See FIG. 4), then move from the first position B1 to the second position B2 (FIG. 5), and then rotate when in the second position B2. The operation is performed (FIG. 6), and then the second position B2 is moved to the first position B1.

  In the “third effect” shown in FIG. 14 (3), the suggestion operation is performed when the movable body 17a is in the first position B1 as in the case of the “first effect” and the “second effect” (FIG. 4). Next, the robot moves from the first position B1 to the second position B2 (FIG. 5). Thereafter, unlike the “first effect” and the “second effect”, the rotation operation is not performed when the user is at the second position B2. The second position B2 is moved to the first position B1.

  In the “fourth effect” shown in FIG. 14 (4), the suggestion operation is performed when the movable body 17a is in the first position B1, as in the “first effect”, “second effect”, and “third effect”. (FIG. 4) After that, unlike the “first effect”, “second effect”, and “third effect”, the first position B1 does not move to the second position B2 (the rotation operation is not performed at the second position B2). That is, the user continues to stay at the first position B1.

  The “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect” will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (1), in the “first effect”, after the suggestion operation is performed on the movable body 17a at the first position B1, the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1. When the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at a relatively low speed V1 at the first timing T1 (automatic) unrelated to the operation of the above, the operation of the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2 At this time, the movable body 17a is caused to perform a rotation operation (first operation, specific operation) at the second timing T2 according to the above. At this time, the screen 16a of the image display device 16 corresponds to the rotation operation of the movable body 17a (rotation An image (not shown) is displayed that can highlight the action.

  In the “first effect”, the first operation effective period Ta is set when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2, and the effect button 6a is operated during the first operation effective period Ta. The second timing T2, that is, the “movable body effect” that causes the movable body 17a to rotate in response to the operation of the effect button 6a during the first operation effective period Ta can be executed.

  If the effect button 6a is not operated during the first operation effective period Ta, the movable body 17a is not moved to the first position immediately after the end of the first operation effective period Ta without causing the movable body 17a to rotate. Move to B1. However, if the effect button 6a is not operated during the first operation effective period Ta, the effect button 6a may be operated during the first operation effective period Ta from the end of the first operation effective period Ta. Similarly to the case, the movable body 17a may be rotated.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, in the “second effect”, the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1 after the suggestion operation is performed on the movable body 17a at the first position B1. The movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at a relatively high speed V2 (> V1) at the third timing T3 according to the operation of the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2. At a fourth timing T4 (automatic) unrelated to the operation, the movable body 17a is rotated (the same second operation as the first operation, a specific operation). At this time, the screen 16a of the image display device 16 has a movable body. An image (not shown) corresponding to the movement of 17a to the second position B2 and the rotation operation (the movement to the second position B2 and further the rotation operation can be emphasized) is displayed.

  In the “second effect”, the second operation effective period Tb is set when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1, and in this case, the second operation effective period Tb is movable at the first position B1. It is set after the suggestion operation of the body 17a is completed, and the effect button 6a is operated during the second operation effective period Tb is the third timing T3, that is, the effect button during the second operation effective period Tb In response to the operation 6a, the movable body 17a can be moved to the second position B2, and further, a “movable body effect” can be executed that causes the movable body 17a to rotate.

  If the effect button 6a is not operated during the second operation effective period Tb, the movable body 17a is not moved to the second position B2 (the movable body 17a is not rotated at the second position B2), and the first operation button 6a is not operated. Continue to stay at 1 position B1. However, if the effect button 6a is not operated during the second operation effective period Tb, the effect button 6a is operated during the second operation effective period Tb from the end of the second operation effective period Tb. Similarly to the case, the movable body 17a may be moved to the second position B2, and the movable body 17a may be rotated.

  In the “first effect” and the “second effect”, the velocities V1 and V2 (V1 <V2) at which the movable body 17a moves from the first position B1 to the second position B2 are different from each other. The movement mode in which the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 is different from the movement mode in which the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 in the “second effect”.

  Although not shown, there are a plurality of paths through which the movable body 17a moves from the first position B1 to the second position B2, and the movable body 17a is in the first position for the “first effect” and the “second effect”. Different movement paths from B1 to the second position B2 are used to move the movable body 17a to the second position B2 in the “first effect”, and the second position of the movable body 17a in the “second effect”. The movement mode moved to B2 may be different. Note that the movement mode in which the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 in the “first effect” and the movement mode in which the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 in the “second effect” are the same. Also good.

  In addition, regarding the rotation operation of the movable body 17a at the second position B2, the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the movable body 17a are the same in the “first effect” and the “second effect”, and the “first effect”. The operation mode for causing the movable body 17a to perform the rotation operation in “and the operation mode for causing the movable body 17a to perform the rotation operation in the“ second effect ”are the same.

  However, regarding the rotation operation of the movable body 17a at the second position B2, at least one of the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the movable body 17a is different between the “first effect” and the “second effect” (for example, The rotation speed of the movable body 17a in the “first effect” is set to be higher than the rotation speed of the movable body 17a in the “second effect”, and the movable body 17a is rotated in the “first effect”. The mode may be different from the mode of operation in which the movable body 17a performs the rotation operation in the “second effect”. That is, in the “second effect”, the movable body 17a may perform a rotation operation (second operation) different from the rotation operation (first operation) in the “first effect”.

  Although not shown, the movable body 17a operates as a predetermined operation (first, second operation, specific operation) other than the rotation operation (for example, tilting, swinging, etc.) when in the second position B2. Furthermore, in the “first effect” and the “second effect”, the operation mode (for example, the tilt angle when tilting, the swing width when swinging) Etc.) (that is, the first operation and the second operation) may be the same or different from each other.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the “first effect”, the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at the first timing T1 unrelated to the operation of the effect button 6a, and then moved to the second position B2. By causing the body 17a to perform a plurality of small reciprocating movements or reciprocating rotations (operations for rattling), a suggestion operation is suggested that suggests that the movable body 17a rotates (possibly rotates). Therefore, the movable body 17a may be rotated at the second timing T2 according to the operation of the effect button 6a. In this case, the first operation effective period Ta is set after the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a at the second position B2 is completed.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 16, in the “second effect”, the effect is made without leaving much time after the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at the third timing T3 according to the operation of the effect button 6a. By causing the movable body 17a to rotate at a fourth timing T4 unrelated to the operation of the button 6a, until the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2 in the “second effect” until the rotation operation starts. May be shorter than the time from when the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2 until the rotation operation starts in the “first effect”.

  Thus, in the “first effect” and the “second effect”, based on the determination result by the determination means 43a, the first timing when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1 (the first timing T1, the first effect) When the movable body 17a can be moved to the second position B2 at 3 timing T3) and the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2, the second timing (predetermined timing; second timing) It is possible to execute a “movable body effect” that allows the movable body 17a in the second position B2 to rotate at T2, the fourth timing T4).

  As shown in FIG. 14 (3), in the “third effect”, the suggestion operation is performed on the movable body 17a at the first position B1, and then the effect button when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1. The effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2 after the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at the relatively low speed V1 at the first timing T1 (automatic) unrelated to the operation of 6a. The movable body 17a is moved to the first position B1 without causing the movable body 17a to rotate at the second timing T2 corresponding to the operation.

  In the “third effect”, similarly to the “first effect”, the first operation effective period Ta is set when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2, and during the first operation effective period Ta. The time when the effect button 6a is operated is the second timing T2, that is, the movable body 17a is moved to the first position without causing the movable body 17a to rotate in response to the operation of the effect button 6a during the first operation effective period Ta. Move to one position B1.

  When the effect button 6a is not operated during the first operation effective period Ta, the movable body 17a is moved to the first position B1 soon after the end of the first operation effective period Ta. Note that, in the “third effect”, a suggestion operation that suggests a rotation operation may be performed on the movable body 17a at the second position B2, as in the modified form (FIG. 15) in the “first effect”. In this case, the first operation effective period Ta is set after the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a at the second position B2 is completed.

  Comparing the “first effect” shown in FIG. 14 (1) with the “third effect” shown in FIG. 14 (3), it is movable at least from the start of the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a at the first position B1. After the body 17a is moved from the first position B1 to the second position B2, the same effect is produced until the effect button 6a is operated during the first operation effective period Ta, where the effect button 6a is operated, The operation branches to whether or not the movable body 17a performs the rotation operation. As will be described later, when the movable body 17a performs the rotation operation (becomes the “first effect”), the movable body 17a does not perform the rotation operation. The big hit expectation degree becomes higher than the case (becomes the “third effect”).

  As shown in FIG. 14 (4), in the “fourth effect”, after the suggestion operation is performed on the movable body 17a at the first position B1, the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1. The movable body 17a is kept at the first position B1 without moving the movable body 17a to the second position B2 at the third timing T3 corresponding to the operation (the movable body 17a is not rotated at the second position B2).

  In the “fourth effect”, similarly to the “second effect”, the first operation effective period Ta is set when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2. In this case, the second operation effective period Tb is set. Is set after the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a at the first position B1 is completed, and the stage button 6a is operated during the second operation effective period Tb, which is the third timing T3, that is, the second The movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 in accordance with the operation of the effect button 6a during the operation effective period Tb of the first position B1 without moving the movable body 17a to the second position B2. Continue to stay.

  If the effect button 6a is not operated during the first operation effective period Ta, there is no particular change compared to the case where the effect button 6a is operated, and the movable body 17a is continuously kept at the first position B1. .

  Comparing the “second effect” shown in FIG. 14 (2) with the “fourth effect” shown in FIG. 14 (4), at least from the start of the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a in the first position B1. The same effect is produced until the effect button 6a is operated during the operation effective period Tb of 2. When the effect button 6a is operated here, the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2 and rotates. If the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2 and rotates (“second effect”), the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2, as will be described later. The big hit expectation degree becomes higher than the case where it did not (becomes the “fourth effect”).

  As described above, in the “movable body effect”, after the suggestion operation is performed on the movable body 17a at the first position B1, the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and the rotation operation is performed (the “first operation”). “1st effect”, “2nd effect”), when the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and is not rotated (“third effect”), the movable body 17a is not moved to the second position B2. There is a time ("4th effect").

  Here, the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a at the first position B1 corresponds to an suggestion effect that suggests that the movable body 17a may move to the second position B2, and this suggestion effect is the movable object. In addition to the suggesting operation of 17a, the image may be executed by an image displayed on the screen 16a of the image display device 16 or a sound output from the speaker 37.

  By the way, during the first operation effective period Ta, an instruction effect that instructs (prompts) the player to operate the effect button 6a is executed using the image display device 16, and in this instruction effect, as shown in FIG. The screen 16a of the image display device 16 corresponds to the movable body 17a at the second position B2 in the screen 16a (for example, located near the left side of the movable body 17a) and is not hidden by the movable body 17a. The instruction image Pa (“press”, arrow, effect button (shape corresponding to the normal position A1), gauge indicating the passage of the first operation effective period Ta) is displayed in the first screen area 16a1.

  During the first operation effective period Ta, the effect button 6a is normally at the normal position A1, that is, the player operates the effect button 6a at the normal position A1 to the pressed position, and the instruction displayed at that time Although the image Pa is shown in FIG. 17, at the start of the first operation effective period Ta, the effect button 6a may be moved and switched from the normal position A1 to the special position A2, and in this case, the player may The effect button 6a at the position A2 is operated to the pressed position, and in the first screen area 16a1, the instruction shown in FIG. 19 in which the shape of the effect button is changed in the instruction image Pa instead of the instruction image Pa. The image Pb (“press”, arrow, effect button (shape corresponding to the special position A2), gauge) is displayed. When the effect button 6a is operated during the first operation effective period Ta, the display of the instruction image Pa / Pb is erased from the time of the operation.

  In addition, during the second operation effective period Tb, an instruction effect that instructs (prompts) the player to operate the effect button 6a is executed using the image display device 16, and in this instruction effect, as shown in FIG. The screen 16a of the image display device 16 indicates to the second screen area 16a2 corresponding to the movable body 17a at the first position B1 in the screen 16a (for example, located near the lower side of the movable body 17a). An image Pa is displayed.

  As in the case of the first operation effective period Ta during the second operation effective period Tb, the effect button 6a is normally at the normal position A1, that is, the instruction image Pa displayed at that time is shown in FIG. However, at the start of the second operation effective period Tb, the effect button 6a may be moved and switched from the normal position A1 to the special position A2, and in this case, the player presses the effect button 6a at the special position A2. An instruction image Pb shown in FIG. 19 is displayed instead of the instruction image Pa in the second screen area 16a2. Note that if the effect button 6a is operated during the second operation effective period Tb, the display of the instruction image Pa / Pb is erased from the time of the operation.

  In the “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect”, the suggestion operation is not performed on the movable body 17a in the first position B1, and the screen 16a of the image display device 16 is displayed. A suggestion effect that suggests that the movable body 17a may move to the second position B2 may be executed by the displayed image or the sound output from the speaker 37. The movable body 17a is provided with an electric decoration structure including a lamp (LED). When the movable body 17a is rotating, when the rotating body is not rotating, the lamp that is turned off is turned on, or the rotating operation is performed. The lamp may be lit in a lighting mode different from the lighting mode when not performed. Note that the movable body 17a may be caused to perform the first and second operations (specific operations) by turning on the lamp without rotating the movable body 17a.

  In the above, the “movable body effect” (“first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, “fourth effect”) has been described in detail. , The execution rate of “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect” will be described in detail.

  In the “specific variation effect” (the second type variation effect, the third type variation effect), as shown in FIG. 20, after the start of the variation of the special symbol (effect symbol sequence), the reach state is reached. ”(Any one of“ first effect ”,“ second effect ”,“ third effect ”, and“ fourth effect ”) is executed, any of“ normal reach effect ”,“ SP reach effect ”, and“ SP / SP reach effect ” Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 21, as the “movable body effect”, which of “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect” is to be executed is determined by the variation of the special symbol. When it becomes “Lost” (“Type 2 variation effect” is performed) and when it becomes “Big hit” (“Type 3 variation effect” is performed) due to the variation of the special symbol, respectively. It is determined at the ratio shown.

  Based on the execution rate shown in FIG. 21, in the case of “losing”, the “second effect” is more than the “first effect”, and the “third effect” is more than the “second effect”. However, the “fourth effect” is easier to execute than the “third effect”, and conversely, in the case of “big hit”, the “third effect” is more than the “fourth effect”. In addition, the “second effect” is more easily executed than the “third effect”, and the “first effect” is more easily executed than the “second effect”, and the “first effect”> “ The order of “second effect”> “third effect”> “fourth effect” is given.

  In the “movable body effect”, when the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and is rotated (when the “first effect” or the “second effect” is executed), the movable body 17a is The movable body 17a was not moved to the second position B2 when the second position B2 was moved and the rotation operation was not performed (when the third effect was performed) and when the fourth effect was performed. ) Expectation of big hits is higher than that, that is, special games are easy to play.

  Further, based on the execution rate shown in FIG. 21, in the “movable body effect”, after the movable body 17a is in the first position B1, the second operation is performed after the suggestion operation is performed (after the suggestion effect is executed). Probability of moving to position B2 (probability of executing "first effect", "second effect", and "third effect" among "first effect", "second effect", "third effect", and "fourth effect") ) Is “Lost”, the execution rate of “first effect” (10%) + the execution rate of “second effect” (20%) + the execution rate of “third effect” (30%) = 60% In the case of “big hit”, the execution rate of “first effect” (45%) + the execution rate of “second effect” (35%) + the execution rate of “third effect” (15%) = 95% Become.

  On the other hand, in the “movable body effect”, after the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2, the probability of performing the rotation operation (the “first effect”, the “second effect”, the “third effect” among the “first effect”). The probability of executing “1 staging” and “2nd staging” is “losing” (execution rate of “1 st staging” (10%) + execution rate of “2 st staging” (20%)) ÷ (Execution rate of “first effect” (10%) + execution rate of “second effect” (20%) + execution rate of “third effect” (30%)) × 100 = 50% In the case of (execution rate of "first effect" (45%) + execution rate of "second effect" (35%)) ÷ (execution rate of "first effect" (45%)) + "second effect" Execution rate (35%) + execution rate of "third effect" (15%)) x 100 ≒ 84%.

  Thus, the probability (probability A) that the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 after the suggestion effect is executed, and the probability (probability B) that the movable body 17a in the second position B2 performs the rotation operation. Is different. Specifically, when the winning probability determined to play a special game (for example, 1/320) is considered and if the probability in the case of “losing” is emphasized, the probability A is higher than the probability B. Conversely, the probability B may be higher than the probability A.

  As shown in FIG. 22, as the “movable body effect”, which one of “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect” is to be executed depends on the variation of the special symbol. When it becomes “losing” (“second type variation effect” is performed) and when it becomes “big hit” (“third type variation effect” is performed) due to the variation of the special symbol Each may be determined at the ratio shown.

  Based on the execution rate shown in FIG. 22, in the case of “losing”, the “second effect” is more than the “first effect”, and the “third effect” is more than the “second effect”. However, the “fourth effect” is more easily executed than the “third effect”, and conversely, in the case of “big hit”, the “fourth effect” is more than the “third effect”. In addition, the “second effect” is more easily executed than the “fourth effect”, and the “first effect” is more easily executed than the “second effect”, and the “first effect”> “ The order of “second effect”> “third effect”> “fourth effect” is given.

  In the “movable body effect”, when the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and is rotated (when the “first effect” or the “second effect” is executed), the movable body 17a is The movable body 17a was not moved to the second position B2 when the second position B2 was moved and the rotation operation was not performed (when the third effect was performed) and when the fourth effect was performed. ) Expectation of big hits is higher than that, that is, special games are easy to play.

  Further, based on the execution rate shown in FIG. 22, in the “movable body effect”, after the movable body 17a is in the first position B1, the second operation is performed after the suggestion operation is performed (after the suggestion effect is executed). Probability of moving to position B2 (probability of executing "first effect", "second effect", and "third effect" among "first effect", "second effect", "third effect", and "fourth effect") ) In case of “losing”, the execution rate of “first effect” (10%) + the execution rate of “second effect” (15%) + the execution rate of “third effect” (25%) = 50% In the case of “big hit”, the execution rate of “first effect” (40%) + the execution rate of “second effect” (24%) + the execution rate of “third effect” (16%) = 80% Become.

  On the other hand, in the “movable body effect”, after the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2, the probability of performing the rotation operation (the “first effect”, the “second effect”, the “third effect” among the “first effect”). (Probability of executing “1st effect” and “2nd effect”) is “Lost” (execution rate of “1st effect” (10%) + execution rate of “2nd effect” (15%)) ÷ (Execution rate of “first effect” (10%) + execution rate of “second effect” (15%) + execution rate of “third effect” (25%)) × 100 = 50% In the case of (the execution rate of the “first effect” (40%) + the execution rate of the “second effect” (24%)) ÷ (the execution rate of the “first effect” (40%) + the “second effect”) Execution rate (24%) + “third performance” execution rate (16%)) × 100 = 80%.

  As described above, the probability that the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 after the suggestion effect is executed is the same as the probability that the movable body 17a at the second position B2 rotates.

  Next, when executing “movable body effect” (any one of “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect”), as shown in FIG. 23, “first effect” For each of the “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect”, the execution rate when the “normal reach effect” is executed with the change of the special symbol, “SP reach effect” is executed (“SP The execution rate when “SP reach effect” is not executed) and the execution rate where “SP / SP reach effect” is executed (including via “SP reach effect”) are set as shown in the figure.

  In other words, when either “first effect” or “second effect” is executed, “SP reach effect” is more than “normal reach effect” and “SP / SP reach effect” is more than “SP reach effect”. Are more easily executed, and when either “third effect” or “fourth effect” is executed, “SP reach effect” is more likely to be “SP” than “SP / SP reach effect”. “Normal reach production” is easier to execute than “reach production”.

  When the “movable body effect” (any one of “first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect”) is executed, the operation effective periods Ta and Tb are started as described above. Sometimes, the effect button 6a may be switched by moving from the normal position A1 to the special position A2, and the execution of the effect button 6a to the special position A2 is executed as shown in FIG. For each of the “second effect”, “third effect”, and “fourth effect”, when the special symbol changes to “losing” (the “second type change effect” is performed), the special effect It is determined at the ratio shown in the figure when it becomes “big hit” due to the variation of the symbol (“third type variation effect” is performed).

  Note that the “specific variation effect”, that is, the “movable body effect” (“first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, “fourth effect”), regardless of the game state, The game state may be executed regardless of which game state is set such as “short-time game state”, “latent probability game state”, and “probability changed game state”, or a specific game state (for example, “normal game state” or “ It may be executed only when “probability game state” or the like is set.

The operations and effects of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above are as follows.
First, when the player is in the “normal gaming state” or the “latent gaming state”, the player operates the firing handle 7 to fire the gaming ball so that the gaming ball falls on the left side of the center accessory 15. “Left-handed” is performed, and the game is played so that the game ball wins the first starting port 10 and a special game lottery is received.

  On the other hand, when the player is in the “short-time game state” or “probability game state”, the player operates the launch handle 7 to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the right side of the center accessory 15. "Right-handed", so that the game ball can win the gate 12 and receive the auxiliary game lottery, and further, the game ball can win the second starting port 11a and receive the special game lottery, Also, when a special game is being played, “right-handed” is performed, and a game is played so that a large number of game balls can win the big prize opening 13a and obtain a considerable number of game balls.

  When a special game lottery is performed, after the special symbol is variably displayed, it is stopped and displayed with a judgment symbol indicating the result of the special game lottery (the symbol indicating “losing” or “big hit”), but the special symbol varies When displayed, the symbol variation effect suggesting the result of the special game lottery (expected degree of jackpot) is output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image (moving image) displayed on the screen 16a of the image display device 16 and the image. In some cases, it is performed by the operation of the effect button 6a of the effect operating device 6 and the operation of the movable body 17a of the movable accessory device 17, and this design variation effect enhances the game performance and the game entertainment.

  The player, of course, wins the special game lottery, the special game is played, the special game is more advantageous (the number of game balls acquired is large), the special game is finished, The game is played in the hope that it will be in a more advantageous game state (“probability game state”), but the symbol changes in the process until the result of the special game lottery is derived (the special symbol starts to change and then stops) It is possible to play a game with the expectation while enjoying the production.

  In other words, in the symbol variation effect, the player first expects to reach a reach state when a plurality of effect symbols start to change (special symbols start to change), and then enters a reach state. “SP reach production” with a higher degree of jackpot expectation than “normal reach production”, “SP / SP reach production” with a higher jackpot expectation than “SP reach production”, and the “normal reach production” It is possible to play a game in the hope that it will be a “hit” in “SP Reach Production” or “SP / SP Reach Production”.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when a “specific variation effect” (partial “second type variation effect”, part “third type variation effect”) is performed as the symbol variation effect, "Movable body effect" is performed. As the "movable body effect", the "first effect" shown in Fig. 14 (1), the "second effect" shown in Fig. 14 (2), and Fig. 14 (3). One of the “third effect” shown in FIG. 14 and the “fourth effect” shown in FIG. 14D is selected and executed based on the result of the special game lottery.

  Here, conventionally, there is a known gaming machine capable of performing an effect of operating the movable body in two stages, such as rotating the movable body from the standby position to the advanced position and then rotating it. In this case, the timing at which the movable body can be operated by operating the effect button is movable only at one timing such as before the first movement of the movable body (before the start of the first stage operation (movement from the standby position to the advanced position)). It is difficult to enhance the effect of the body.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, in the “specific variation effect”, the movable body 17a is moved to the first timing T1 unrelated to the operation of the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1. The “first effect” (FIG. 14) causes the movable body 17a to rotate at the second timing T2 according to the operation of the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the second position B2. (1)), the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at the third timing T3 according to the operation of the effect button 6a when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1, and the movable body 17a is in the second position. The “second effect” (FIG. 14 (2)) for causing the movable body 17a to rotate at the fourth timing T4 unrelated to the operation of the effect button 6a at the position B2. Since possible, to improve the above problems, it is possible to enhance the presentation effect by the movable member 17a (directed property).

  Moreover, in the “first effect”, the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 at the first timing T1 (automatic), and in the “second effect”, the movable body 17a is moved to the third timing T3 (the effect button 6a). Since the movement mode of moving to the second position B2 in the operation) is different, the movable body 17a moves to the second position B2 and rotates at the second position B2 between the “first effect” and the “second effect”. Not only the operation timing but also the operation mode (movement mode to the second position B2) can be made different, and the effect of the movable body 17a can be enhanced.

  Specifically, the speed V2 at which the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 by operating the effect button 6a in the “second effect”, and the movable body 17a is automatically moved to the second position B2 in the “first effect”. Since the speed V1 is higher than the speed V1, the effect that the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 by the operation of the effect button 6a is compared with the case where the movable body 17a is automatically moved to the second position B2. Can be realized.

  Also, conventionally, in a gaming machine capable of performing effects that are operated in two stages, such as rotating the movable body from the standby position to the advance position, and performing the effect using the movable body based on the result of the special game lottery. In the case of execution, if the movable body is operated in two stages in all the effects, it is difficult to increase the effect of the effect on the big hit expectation.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, based on the result of the special game lottery, in the “movable body effect”, the movable body 17a in the first position B1 is caused to perform the suggesting operation, and then the movable body 17a. When the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and rotated, the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and not rotated, and the movable body 17a is not moved to the second position B2. And there was.

  In the “movable body effect”, when the movable body 17a is moved to the second position B2 and is rotated (when the “first effect” or the “second effect” is executed), the movable body 17a is The movable body 17a was not moved to the second position B2 when the second position B2 was moved and the rotation operation was not performed (when the third effect was performed) and when the fourth effect was performed. ) Since the big hit expectation is higher than that at the time, that is, the special game is easy to be performed, the effect is improved with respect to the effect using the movable body 17a executed based on the result of the special game lottery. (Performance) can be improved.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine capable of performing an effect of moving a movable body from a first position (standby position, etc.) to a second position (advance position, etc.), the movable body is moved from the first position to the second position by operating an effect button. Before executing the effect of moving to the position, the movable body is moved to the second position by causing the movable body to perform a suggestion operation (for example, a plurality of minute reciprocations) that suggests the movement to the second position. Although it can be expected to move to the position, if the movable body is moved to the second position by operating the effect button during the suggestion operation, the effect of the suggestion operation is reduced.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, in the “specific variation effect” (“second effect”), the operation effective period Tb is set when the movable body 17a is at the first position B1, and the operation effective A “movable body effect” for moving the movable body 17a to the second position B2 can be executed in response to an operation of the effect button 6a during the period Tb. The suggestion operation suggesting movement can be performed, and the operation valid period Tb is set after the suggestion operation is completed. Therefore, the problem is improved, that is, the suggestion operation is not terminated in the middle. Thus, the effect of the movable body 17a (rendering performance) can be enhanced.

In addition, the said Example can be partially changed as follows.
(1) In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, in the “specific variation effect”, the “movable body effect” (“first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, “fourth effect”) is After reaching the reach state, it is executed before the “normal reach production”, “SP reach production”, and “SP / SP reach production” are performed, but before reaching the reach state, “normal reach production”, “SP reach production” For example, when “SP / SP reach production” is being performed, it may be executable at other production locations.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25, in the “specific variation effect”, after reaching the reach state as the “movable body effect”, before the “normal reach effect”, “SP reach effect”, and “SP / SP reach effect” are performed. In addition, when the “first movable body effect” is executed and then “SP reach effect” and “SP / SP reach effect” are performed, the “SP reach effect” and “SP / SP reach effect” are performed. When it is stopped (for example, at the end of the game), the “second movable body effect” is executed.

  In this case, for example, in the “first movable body effect”, either the “second effect” (FIG. 14 (2)) or the “fourth effect” (FIG. 14 (4)) is the result of the special game lottery. In the “second movable body effect”, one of the “first effect” (FIG. 14 (1)) and the “third effect” (FIG. 14 (3)) is a special game lottery. The selection may be executed based on the result. In other words, the executed effects may be different between the “first movable body effect” and the “second movable body effect” which are different in the effect location.

  When “SP reach production” and “SP / SP reach production” are being performed, especially in the case of “second movable body production” performed at the end of the game, when the special symbol changes to “losing” Causes the “third effect” (or “fourth effect”) to be executed at a rate of 100%, that is, the movable body 17a does not rotate (or moves to the second position B2) by operating the effect button 6a. When the special symbol changes to “big hit”, the “first effect” (or “second effect”) is executed at a rate of 100%, that is, the movable body 17a is rotated by operating the effect button 6a. It is also possible to operate (or move to the second position B2 and rotate).

  In addition, a “movable body effect” (for example, one of “second effect” and “fourth effect” is selected and executed) executed in “normal game state” (“latent probability game state”), and “probability change”. The “movable body effect” (for example, either “first effect” or “third effect” is selected and executed) executed in the “game state” (“short-time game state”) may be different.

(2) Although not shown, a second movable body is further provided, and the second movable body is different from the first and second positions B1 and B2 of the movable body 17a independently of the movable body 17a. It is possible to move between the position and the second position, and it is possible to perform a suggestion operation at the first position and a rotation operation at the second position. For example, for “first effect” and “third effect” May be executed by the movable body 17a, and the “second effect” and the “fourth effect” may be executed by the second movable body.

(3) The operation effective period Tb is set after the suggestion operation of the movable body 17a at the first position B1 is completed, and the operation effective period Ta is suggested by the movable body 17a at the second position B2. Regarding the setting after the operation is completed, it is not essential that the movable body 17a operates in two stages as in the above-described embodiment, and the movable body is moved from the first position to the second position by operating the effect button 6a. It is possible to employ those that perform only the movement movement and those that perform only the rotation movement.

  That is, in the case where only the operation of moving the movable body from the first position to the second position by the operation of the effect button 6a is performed, the movement of the movable body to the second position is suggested when the movable body is at the first position. After the suggestion operation is completed, an operation effective period for moving the movable body to the second position is set, and only the operation in which the movable body rotates by the operation of the effect button 6a is performed. The operation valid period for rotating the movable body may be set after the suggestion operation suggesting the rotation operation is completed.

(4) In the above embodiment, the “movable body effect” (“first effect”, “second effect”, “third effect”, “fourth effect”) can be executed in the symbol variation effect. When the special game is being performed, the “movable body effect” may be executable. In that case, for example, when any special effect of “second special game” or “third special game” with more balls is being performed, an unclear indication that does not indicate the type of the special game The “movable body effect” is performed in the state where the game is being performed, and the “first effect” or the “second effect” is performed there, so that the “third special game” with many balls played is performed. May be suggested to indicate that the “third special game” with fewer balls is performed by performing the “third effect” or the “fourth effect”.

  Alternatively, when a special game is being performed, for example, in a state where an unknown performance that does not indicate the game state after the end of the special game is being performed, a `` movable body effect '' is performed, By performing the “first effect” or the “second effect”, it is suggested that the “probable game state” is reached after the special game ends, and the “third effect” or the “fourth effect” is performed. , It may be suggested that the “short-time gaming state” is performed.

(5) Based on the determination result by the pre-determination means 43b, before the special symbol based on the special figure determination information subject to the pre-reading effect is changed, for example, the special figure determination that is the target of the pre-reading effect. When the information processing is performed in a special look-ahead mode different from the normal effect mode (for example, the image background displayed by the image display device 16 is special) for the information, “3 effects” or “4th effects” may be performed.

  In addition, various modifications can be added without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and various pachinko gaming machines and the like, and in addition to pachinko gaming machines, a revolving type gaming machine (slot machine) The present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as

1 Pachinko machine 6a Effect button 17a Movable body 43 Special figure determination means 43a The determination means 60 Effect control means 70 Effect means B1 First position B2 Second position T1 First timing T2 Second timing T3 Third timing T4 Fourth timing Ta, Tb operation period
