Next, the control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control device 30 incorporates a main control board 31 on which a main CPU 32 for controlling the operation of the following members as well as execution of the big hit lottery, a storage means 33 such as a ROM and a RAM, a timer 34, an interface 35 and the like are mounted. Yes. The main control board 31 is connected via the interface 35 to the start winning opening 19, the start winning combination 17, the big winning devices 18 a and 18 b, the gate member 20, the first special symbol display unit 60 a, and the second special symbol. It is connected to the display unit 60b and the like. The main control board 31 is also electrically connected to a sub-integrated board 41 built in the sub-control device 40. Although omitted in FIG. 4, the main control board 31 is also connected to the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, and the like via the interface 35.

  The storage means 33 determines the a counter used for the open lottery for determining whether or not the start winning combination 17 is opened, the c counter used for the jackpot lottery (random number for jackpot determination), and the type of “big hit” to be generated. A plurality of counters such as a d counter (a random number for determining the jackpot type) and an e counter (random number for determining the variation time information) that mainly determines a basic variation pattern that is a variation time of a special symbol or a decorative symbol are incorporated. . Each counter is a loop counter that counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on. The acquisition of numerical values used can be regarded as acquisition of numerical values from random numbers. The a counter is 0-10 (11 ways), the c counter is 0-300 (301 ways), the d counter is 0-1 (2 ways), and the e counter is 0-0. A loop count is made between 30 (31 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 obtains one numerical value from the a counter triggered by the detection of the passage of the gate ball 20 of the game ball, and triggered by the detection of the winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 19 and the start winning prize 17 One numerical value is acquired from each of the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter (a big hit lottery is executed).

  In addition, the storage means 33 includes a special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 60a and the second special symbol display unit 60b, and a jackpot that associates the value of the d counter with the type of “big jackpot” as shown in FIG. A type determination table and a basic variation pattern determination table in which the value of the e counter is associated with the basic variation pattern as shown in FIG. 6 are stored. This basic variation pattern mainly defines the variation time (time from the variation start to the final display) of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. Further, in the storage means 33, for example, a game ball won in the start winning opening 19 or the start winning combination 17 while the special symbol is variably displayed in the first special symbol display section 60a or the second special symbol display section 60b. In this case, the number obtained from the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter associated with the winning is used as the hold information, and the starting winning opening 19 and the starting winning prize 17 are distinguished from each other up to a maximum of four (total eight). A hold information storage area 36 for storing is provided. In addition, in the storage means 33, the hold information stored in the hold information storage area 36 can be transferred and stored one by one, and the jackpot determination such as whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot is executed. A jackpot determination storage area 37 is provided. Note that the hold information is sequentially transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37 and digested in the order in which it is stored each time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are finalized, and new hold information can be stored along with the digestion. .

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage unit 43, a timer 44, an interface 45, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 through the interface 45, and is also electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52. When the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal (such as various commands as will be described later) related to the big hit lottery from the main control board 31 as will be described later, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device in accordance with the content, and the speaker 14 and lamp The operation of the member 15 and the display operation of the decorative symbols on the effect display unit 6 are controlled. The sub-integrated CPU 42 is also connected to the hold display unit 62 for displaying the number of hold information via the interface 45. The hold display section 62 may be provided outside the game area 16, or may be provided in the game area 16 or the effect display section 6. In the hold display section 62, the number of holds related to winning in the start winning opening 19 and the number of holds related to winning in the starting winning combination 19 are displayed separately.

  In addition, the storage means 43 includes a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing decorative symbols to be displayed on the effect display unit 6, a detailed variation display mode of the decorative symbols, a character effect using a character animation, and the like. A variation pattern storage area 46 storing a plurality of detailed variation patterns is provided, and various detailed variation patterns are stored in association with basic variation patterns determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIG. ing.

Hereinafter, basic game operations in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described.
First, in the pachinko machine 1, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 19 or the start winning combination 17, the main CPU 32 detects the win. Then, the main CPU 32 pays out a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls as prize balls, acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter, d counter, and e counter at the timing of winning detection, and further holds the hold information. It is confirmed whether or not the number of pending information stored in the storage area 36 has reached the maximum value. If the number of pending information has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical values from the c counter, d counter, and e counter are deleted without being stored. On the other hand, if the maximum value has not been reached, the acquired numerical values from the c counter, d counter, and e counter have been acquired along with the winning at the start winning opening 19, or the start winning prize 17 has been won Is stored in the hold information storage area 36 in association with whether it is acquired along with, and the numerical value acquired from the c counter this time with reference to the jackpot determination table set for each gaming state is a predetermined “big hit numerical value (For example, in the jackpot determination table in the normal state, there are one pattern of “100”, and in the jackpot determination table in the high probability state, there are four patterns of “0”, “100”, “200”, “300”. (That is, whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a so-called “hit”) Whether the symbol is to be confirmed and displayed in a special confirmation display mode), in the case of "big hit", based on the type of "big hit" based on the numerical value obtained from the d counter and the result of the big hit lottery What happens to the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the numerical value obtained from the e counter above (including whether or not the basic fluctuation pattern becomes a specific basic fluctuation pattern described later) as a prior determination in advance of the jackpot determination described later Determine once. Further, as a result of the preliminary determination, the main CPU 32 creates schedule information including where the winning is based and what number of the holding information is based, and transmits the schedule information to the sub-integrated CPU 42. To do.

  Further, the main CPU 32 always confirms whether the symbols are variably displayed or confirmed in the first special symbol display section 60a and the second special symbol display section 60b, and both the special symbol display sections 60a, If the symbol is fixedly displayed at 60b, the presence / absence of the hold information is confirmed. Then, if there is holding information, the holding information with the highest priority to be digested (here, the holding information stored earlier) is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37 and the following jackpot determination is executed for the holding information. To do. That is, with reference to the jackpot determination table corresponding to the gaming state at the time when the hold information is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37, the numerical value acquired from the c counter related to the hold information is the predetermined “bonus value”. Whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” or “out”. Further, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” (the value obtained from the c counter is “hits value”), the obtained value from the d counter is based on the winning at the start winning opening 19. The jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 5 (a) is based on the winning winning combination 17 and the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 5 (b) is associated with the jackpot type determining table shown in FIG. 6 is read, and the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the e-counter is read using the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 6B (that is, the basic fluctuation pattern including the fluctuation time of the symbol is determined). To do). On the other hand, if the result of the big hit lottery is “out” (the value obtained from the c counter is a value other than the “big hit value”), the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. The basic variation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value is read out (that is, the basic variation pattern including the variation time of the symbol is determined). In this embodiment, since the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot type determination random number are separate, the determination display result of the symbol is determined in combination with the determination of the result of the jackpot lottery and the determination of the type of “big hit” Will do.

  After that, the main CPU 32 determines whether or not the result of the jackpot determination based on the winning prize, the result of the jackpot lottery (whether it is “big hit” or “out”), A start command including information indicating the type of the read basic variation pattern is created, and the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. The jackpot determination based on winning at the start winning opening 19 is special in the first special symbol display section 60a, and the jackpot determination based on winning in the starting winning prize 17 is special in the second special symbol display section 60b. While changing the symbol in a predetermined manner, the timer 34 starts measuring time. When the variation time corresponding to the read basic variation pattern elapses, the special symbol display unit 60a, 60b determines the special symbol corresponding to the type of the jackpot lottery result and, if it is “big bonus”, the corresponding special symbol display unit 60a, 60b. While displaying, a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub integrated CPU 42. The special symbol to be confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol display unit 60a is, for example, “big hit” and specially designated as “first big hit” when the acquired numerical value from the d counter is “0”. One of the special confirmation display modes is “3”, which is “big hit” and the value obtained from the d counter is “1”. Each “7” is confirmed and displayed. In addition, the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol display unit 60b is “big hit”, and the value obtained from the d counter is “0” or “1” (that is, “big hit”). ) And “7” which is a special fixed display mode as “third big hit”. On the other hand, in the case of “out”, both the first special symbol display unit 60a and the second special symbol display unit 60b are confirmed and displayed with “−”.

  In addition, if the result of the big win lottery is “big win”, the main CPU 32 displays a start demonstration for notifying the start of the big win state which is the special gaming state after the final display in the special finalized display mode of the special symbol, When a game ball is awarded to the opened big winning devices 18a and 18b by causing a jackpot state consisting of intermittent opening of the devices 18a and 18b for a predetermined number of times (for example, eight times) and an end demonstration notifying the end of the jackpot state. More game balls (for example, 10 balls) are paid out as prize balls as compared to the case where the winning prizes 19 and the winning prizes 17 are won.

  Further, when the big hit state is finished, the main CPU 32 determines that the special symbol is fixedly displayed for a specific number of times (the number of fixed displays in the first special symbol display unit 60a and the number of fixed displays in the second special symbol display unit 60b). Start winning combination 17 until the probability that the result of the jackpot lottery becomes a “big hit” is increased, and a special symbol is also confirmed and displayed for a specific number of times (until the total number of display times reaches a specific number). Is likely to be in an open state, and a support state in which the start winning combination 17 is in an open state for a long time is caused. This specific number of times differs depending on which “big hit” caused the big hit state (ie, “big hit” type), and when “first big hit” is 20 times (first support state, (2nd specified gaming state), “second jackpot” is 50 times (second support state, second specified gaming state), and “3rd jackpot” is 100 times (in third support state) Yes, a specific gaming state). The main CPU 32 ends the high-probability state and the support state when the determined number of special symbols reaches the specific number without the result of the jackpot lottery being “hit” after the jackpot state ends.

  The opening / closing operation of the start winning combination 17 is also controlled by the main CPU 32, and when the game ball passes through the gate member 20, the passage is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the a counter at the timing of passage detection (performs an open lottery), and the acquired numerical value from the a counter is a predetermined “open numerical value (for example, a support state has occurred. It is determined whether or not there are 10 types of “0” to “9”, and if there is no support state, there is only 1 type of “0”. If it is “open value”, that is, if the result of the open lottery is “winning”, the start winning combination 17 is operated from the closed state to the open state in a predetermined manner. Therefore, when the support state occurs, the start winning combination 17 is likely to be in the open state as compared with the case where the support state does not occur. And when the support state occurs, for example, a special opening operation mode such as a mode in which the open state is intermittently repeated three times over a longer time (2 seconds) than when the support state does not occur The start winning combination 17 is operated by. In addition, if the support state does not occur, for example, the engine is started in a normal opening operation mode in which, for example, it is opened only once for a shorter time (0.2 seconds) than when the support state occurs. The winning combination 17 is activated. On the other hand, if the numerical value acquired from the a counter is not “open numerical value”, that is, if the result of the open lottery is “off”, the start winning prize 17 is not operated in the closed state. Further, when the game ball passes through the gate member 20 while the start winning combination 17 is in operation or the like, the numerical value of the a counter acquired at the passing timing is stored in the storage means 33 in the same manner as the hold information. At the same time, the confirmation of the result of the open lottery is performed in the stored order every time the operation of the start winning prize 17 is completed.

  On the other hand, when receiving the schedule information, the sub integration CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47 and increases the number of the hold information by 1 in the hold display unit 62. In addition, when the start command is received, the number of the hold information is decreased by 1 in the hold display unit 62, and the schedule information corresponding to the start command is read from the schedule information storage area 47, and if the game state is the support state, The control related to the schedule information as described later is executed. Furthermore, the display mode of the final symbol to be finalized according to the information related to the result of the jackpot lottery included in the start command and the type of “big jackpot” is determined, and the information related to the basic variation pattern is supported. The detailed variation pattern to be performed is read out from the variation pattern storage area 46, and the decorative design on the effect display unit 6 is variably displayed according to the read detailed variation pattern while being timed by the timer 44. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the decorative design is displayed on the effect display unit 6 in the determined display mode. That is, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “big jackpot” and the type is “second jackpot”, the second jackpot decorative symbol display mode in which three identical special decorative symbols are arranged (for example, “7, 7, 7”). ”Etc.), and if the result of the jackpot lottery is“ big jackpot ”and the type is“ first jackpot ”, the first jackpot decorative symbol in which three identical decorative symbols other than the special decorative symbols are arranged. The display is fixedly displayed in a display mode (for example, “2, 2, 2”, etc.). Further, when the type of “big jackpot” is “third jackpot”, a third jackpot decorative symbol display mode in which three identical decorative symbols are arranged (for example, “7/7/7”, “2.2.2”, etc.) ) To confirm. Further, when the result of the big hit lottery is “out”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is confirmed and displayed in a different out decorative symbol display mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”) different from the other two decorative symbols. Let

  Further, the sub-integrated CPU 42 so-called a so-called big hit state, for example, during the start demonstration, notifies the start of the big hit state using the effect display unit 6 and so-called a right-handed space SR. Inform the player to “right-hand”. Further, when the opening of the big winning devices 18a and 18b is started, the display effect on the effect display unit 6 corresponding to the type of “big hit” or the like is read from the storage means 43, and the display operation on the effect display unit 6 is performed. To control. Furthermore, during the end demonstration, the effect display unit 6 is used to notify the player that the big hit state will end. In addition, the sub-integrated CPU 42 reads the display effect on the specific effect display unit 6 from the storage unit 43 during the occurrence of the high probability state and the support state, and controls the display operation on the effect display unit 6. The sub-integrated CPU 42 ends the special display effect with the end of the high-probability state and the support state, stops the “right-handed”, and displays the effect display unit 6 so as to drive the game ball into the left-handed space SL. The player is used to notify the player and return to the normal display effect as described above. Further, the sub-integrated CPU 42 knows the high probability state and the support state type (that is, the specific number of times) that occur after the jackpot state ends, based on the start command in which the jackpot lottery result is “big jackpot”, and has a built-in By the counting means, it is possible to determine the remaining number of display times of special symbols until the specific number of times is reached.

  Here, the game by the player on the pachinko machine 1 will be described along a general flow. The player starts the game from a state where the support state does not occur, and operates the handle 9 to rotate. Then, the launching device 10 is operated, and a game ball is driven into the game area 16 through the launch passage 13, and first, the left-handed space SL is caused to flow down to aim for winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 19. Then, the result of the jackpot lottery with the winning game balls becomes “hit”, and when the jackpot state occurs, “right-handed” is made to flow down the right-handed space SR, and the intermittent winning system 18a, 18b is opened. Aiming to win a game ball. In addition, even after the end of the jackpot state, during the occurrence of the high probability state and the support state, “right-handed” is continued, the game ball passes to the gate member 20, and the start is frequently opened in the support state. Aiming to win a game ball to the winning prize 17. Then, when the high probability state and the support state are finished without the result of the big hit lottery being “big hit”, the “right hit” is stopped, and the game returns to the above-described game where the left hit space SL flows down.

(Explanation about the display effect using the display body)
Here, a display effect using the first display body 73a, the second display body 73b, and the third display body 73c in the support state, which is a main part of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS.
The storage means 43 of the sub-control device 40 has a specific decorative pattern 71, a specific background display 72, a first display body 73a, a second display to be used in the support state (a high probability state is also occurring at the same time, but will be simplified below). A specific effect storage area 48 for storing the display body 73b, the third display body 73c, and the like is provided. Then, when the support state occurs, the sub-integrated CPU 42, as shown in FIG. 8, displays the background display on the effect display unit 6 as the specific background display 72 and the decorative symbols as the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. Switch. Further, a specific display area 74 is formed in the lower portion of the effect display unit 6, and a specific number (here, 10) of the first display bodies 73a, 73a,... . Furthermore, a digest display area 75 for executing an effect as described later is formed on the left side of the first display body 73a located at the leftmost end in the lower left corner of the effect display unit 6.

  Further, when the sub integrated CPU 42 receives the schedule information from the main CPU 32 in the support state, the sub integrated CPU 42 moves from the specific display area 74 to the digest display area 75 at the start of variation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. And whether or not to change the specific first display body 73a to the second display body 73b. This determination is performed by obtaining a numerical value from a random number similar to the jackpot lottery, and the storage means 43 loop counts between 0 and 10 (11 ways) at a high speed similarly to the c counter used for the jackpot lottery. An f counter (first effect determination random number) and a g counter (second effect determination random number) are incorporated. Then, each time the schedule information is received, the sub-integrated CPU 42 acquires numerical values from the f counter and the g counter, and stores the numerical values acquired from the f counter and the g counter in the schedule information storage area 47 together with the schedule information. .

  At this time, with reference to the display body change determination table as shown in FIG. 9B, a specific first is determined based on the numerical value obtained from the g counter included in the schedule information and the information related to the basic variation pattern. It is determined whether to change the display body 73a to the second display body 73b. That is, the basic fluctuation pattern related to the schedule information is A or B, the basic fluctuation pattern is C, the obtained numerical value from the g counter is 0 to 9, the basic fluctuation pattern is D, and obtained from the g counter When the numerical value is any of 0 to 6, the control of changing the first display body 73a to the second display body 73b is not executed. On the other hand, the basic fluctuation pattern is C and the obtained numerical value from the g counter is 10, the basic fluctuation pattern is D and the obtained numerical value from the g counter is 7 to 10 (second specification) The second specific basic variation pattern that satisfies the condition and has a higher probability of being selected than the case of “out” when the basic variation pattern is “big hit” as a result of the big hit lottery in the prior determination. And the basic variation pattern C or D is satisfied, and the numerical value obtained from the second effect determination random number is the second specific numerical value), and is stored in the schedule information storage area 47 including itself. The total display number of the display body is calculated based on the numerical value acquired from the f counter related to each schedule information and the schedule information displayed in the specific display area 74 is referred to. Display body 73a, to vary the first display member 73a of the total digestion several from the left of 73a · · to the second indicia 73b. Therefore, for example, if the total digestion number is 2 (that is, one schedule information is already stored when storing itself, and both the schedule information already stored and the display body digest number are both 1). In this case, as shown in FIG. 10A, the second first display body 73a from the left is changed to the second display body 73b. Further, when the total digestion number is 7 (that is, two schedule information has already been stored when storing itself, and the display is in one of the two schedule information already stored or one of them) When the digestion number of the body is 5, as shown in FIG. 10B, the seventh first display body 73a from the left is changed to the second display body 73b. If the total digestion number exceeds a specific number, even if the second specific condition is satisfied, the control to change to the second display body 73b is not immediately executed, and the total digestion number is specified. The timing is changed to the second display body 73b at the timing when the number is less than or equal to the number. The first display body 73a and the second display body 73b have the same shape and size but are different in color.

  Further, when the sub-integration CPU 42 reads the schedule information by receiving the start command, the sub-integration CPU 42 refers to the digest number determination table as shown in FIG. 9A and obtains a numerical value obtained from the f counter included in the schedule information, And the start of the change of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,... In response to the reception of the start command (start of the change of the symbols in the first special symbol display part 60a or the second special symbol display part 60b) ), The number of display bodies 73a to be moved from the specific display area 74 to the digest display area 75 is determined. That is, the basic fluctuation pattern related to the schedule information is A or B, the basic fluctuation pattern is C, and the obtained numerical value from 0 to 9 is 0, the basic fluctuation pattern is D and the obtained from the f counter If the numerical value is any one of 0 to 6, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the first display body 73a (the second display body 73b has been changed), the second display body The entire first display bodies 73a, 73a,... Are slid to the left so that 73b) moves from the specific display area 74 to the digest display area 75. Further, one new first display body 73a is added to the right side of the first display bodies 73a, 73a,. On the other hand, the basic fluctuation pattern is C and the obtained numerical value from the f counter is 10, the basic fluctuation pattern is D and the obtained numerical value from the f counter is 7 to 10 (first identification Basic that is a specific basic variation pattern that satisfies the conditions and has a high probability of being selected compared to the case of “out” when the basic variation pattern in the pre-judgment is “big hit” as a result of the big hit lottery When the condition that the variation pattern C or D is satisfied is satisfied, and the numerical value obtained from the first effect determination random number is the first specific numerical value), as shown in FIG. .. (When the fifth first display body 73a is changed to the second display body 73b, four first display bodies 73a, 73a,... And one second display body are displayed. Body 73b) is the specific display area 7 To continuously move to digest display area 75 from sliding first display body 73a, the entire 73a · · column to the left. Further, five new first display bodies 73a, 73a,... Are continuously added to the right side of the first display bodies 73a, 73a,. The first display body 73a and the second display body 73b that have moved from the specific display area 74 to the digest display area 75 by this slide are displaying the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. Is erased from the digest display area 75 in a predetermined digest mode (for example, an effect that disappears from the effect display unit 6). In addition, as a timing which moves the 1st display body 73a from the specific display area 74 to the digest display area 75, for example, immediately after the start of the fluctuation of the specific decorative patterns 71, 71,. It can be considered that 71...

  In addition, the sub-integrated CPU 42 notifies the player using the third display body 73c that the number of fixed display of the special symbol is reaching a specific number or a specific stage number in the support state. Explaining the control related to this effect, the sub-integration CPU 42 confirms the special symbol based on the remaining number of fixed displays until reaching the specific number of times or the specific number of stages and the schedule information stored in the schedule information storage area 47. The number of the first display bodies 73a and the second display bodies 73b to be slid before the change of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,... The total digestion number of the body) is always calculated. When adding a display object to the specific display area 74, if the total number of digests is 9 or less, the number of specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. A third display body 73c having a different color and shape from the first display body 73a and the second display body 73b is added to the specific display area 74 as a display body to be moved from the specific display area 74 to the digestion display area 75 at the start of fluctuation. . In addition, after the third display body 73c is added to the specific display area 74, the support state continues until the third display body 73c is moved from the specific display area 74 to the digest display area 75. However, the first display body 73a is not added to the specific display area 74. Further, after the third display body 73c is added to the specific display area 74, the numerical values from the f counter and the g counter are not acquired with the reception of the schedule information, or the numerical values acquired from the f counter and the g counter. The first display body 73a is changed to the second display body 73b or the five first display bodies 73a, 73a,... Are moved to the digestion display area 75 at a time by not executing the control based on the above. Such a production is not executed.

  Here, it will be specifically described what kind of effect is actually produced by the control of displaying the third display body 73c. First, considering the case where the first support state with the specific number of times is occurring, the specific number of steps is not set in the first support state, and the third display body 73c is in a situation where the specific number of times is reached. Will be displayed. And when the change of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,... In which the number of fixed display of the special symbol is the 10th time is started, naturally, a new display body is added to the specific display region 74. If there is no schedule information for performing an effect to move the five first display bodies 73a, 73a,... To the digestion display area 75 at a time as the schedule information, the third display is shown as the tenth display body. A body 73c is newly added to the specific display area 74 (FIG. 12A). On the other hand, when the variation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,... At which the number of final display of the special symbol is 10th is started, the schedule information corresponding to the 12th display of the final display is already stored. If the effect of moving the five first display bodies 73a, 73a,... To the digest display area 75 is executed, the special decorative symbols 71, 71,. During the change of *, one first display body 73a is added. In addition, one first display body 73a is added even during the change of the specific decorative design 71, 71,... In which the special symbol has been displayed 11 times, and five first display bodies 73a, 73a,.・ When the specific decorative symbol 71, 71... Is moved to the digest display area 75 and the specific display count is 12th, normally, five first display bodies 73 a, 73 a. Are two first display bodies 73a and 73a and one third display body 73c in the order of the first first display body 73a, the second first display body 73a, and the third display body 73c. to add. That is, seven first display bodies 73a, 73a,... And one third display body 73c are displayed in the specific display area 74. Further, after the display of the third display body 73c, the first display body 73a displayed in the specific display area 74 is digested as the number of fixed display times of special symbols increases, but after the third display body 73c. A new display body is not added (FIG. 12B). Then, with the start of the variation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,... In which the number of final display of the special symbol is the specific number of times, the third display body 73c is moved to the digestion display area 75 and deleted, and the jackpot related to the variation If the result of the lottery is “out”, the first support state is terminated after the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and displayed, and the sub-integrated CPU 42 normally uses the background display and the decorative symbol on the effect display unit 6 respectively. Return to what you want.

  In the second support state in which the specific number of times is 50, the fixed display number of times 20 is set as the specific number of steps, and in the third support state in which the specific number of times is 100, the fixed display times of the 20th and 50th times. Is set as the specific number of steps. And in the 2nd support state and the 3rd support state, the 3rd display object 73c is displayed also in the situation where the fixed display frequency of a special symbol has reached the specific stage number. The effects after the addition of the third display body 73c and the addition of the third display body 73c are the same as the effects when the specific number of times is reached. However, if the number of specific stages is not the specific number of times, the support state continues after the specific number of stages, so that the variation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71. Accordingly, after the third display body 73c is moved to the digest display area 75, ten new first display bodies 73a, 73a,... Are added to the specific display area 74 while the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. And the execution of the control related to the change in the number of digests and the display by the acquisition of random numbers from the f counter and the g counter is resumed. In addition, in the second support state and the third support state, even when the fixed display count of the special symbol is reaching a specific number of times, the effect using the third display body 73c that is the same as the first support state is naturally executed. To do.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described configuration, the end time of the support state is notified using a new display body such as the first display body 73a, the second display body 73b, and the third display body 73c. Therefore, it is possible to realize an effect that allows the player to feel fresh and to achieve a pachinko machine with high gaming properties.
In addition, the support state has a plurality of support states with different specific times, and in a support state with a relatively high specific number of times, the specific number of support states with a specific number of times smaller than itself is set as the specific stage number. The third display 73c is used for the situation that has reached the specific number of stages, and the same effect as the situation that has reached the specific number of times is performed. Therefore, for the player, when the third display body 73c moves to the digestion display area 75, it is possible to play with a very high interest in whether or not the support state is ended, and the game performance is further increased. Improvements can be made.

Further, the number of first display bodies 73a to be moved to the digest display area 75 at a time is selectively determined by lottery with the start of fluctuation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,... In response to reception of the start command from the main CPU 32. In addition, if the lottery result is related to the basic variation pattern, and the jackpot lottery result is a basic variation pattern that is highly likely to be a “big hit”, a relatively large number of first display bodies 73a, 73a,. Can be selected to move to the digest display area 75 at a time. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with a new display effect that the number of digests of the first display body 73a accompanying the start of variation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. Since the digestion number and the basic variation pattern are associated, the player can play with interest in the digestion number of the first display body 73a accompanying the start of variation of the specific decorative symbols 71, 71,. It is highly playable.
In addition, when the schedule information is received from the main CPU 32, whether or not to change the specific first display body 73a to the second display body 73b is determined by lottery, and the lottery result is associated with the basic variation pattern. If the result of the big win lottery is a basic variation pattern that is highly likely to be a “big hit”, an effect of changing the first display body 73a to the second display body 73b can be selected. Therefore, the player can play the game with an interest in whether or not the first display body 73a changes to the second display body 73b in accordance with the winning of the game ball to the starting winning combination 17, and the game is extremely playable. high.

(Modifications of the present invention)
The configuration related to the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the configuration related to the effects using the first display body and the second display body as well as the overall configuration of the gaming machine. The present invention can be appropriately changed as necessary without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, when the support state is generated, the high probability state is also generated at the same time. However, the high probability state may not be generated, or the support state and the high probability state are generated at the same time. Of course, it is also possible to configure such that both the state in which only the support state is generated are selectively generated. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, as the support state, the start winning combination is easily changed to the first state, and the state that takes the first state for a relatively long time is caused. There is no problem even if only one of the state that can be easily changed to one state or the state that takes the first state over a relatively long time is caused to occur as the support state (that is, the specific gaming state).
In the above embodiment, three types of support states are set as the support state. However, two or less types may be used, and there are no problems even if there are four or more types. It is possible to appropriately change whether to set or whether to set the specific number of steps.

Further, the display body of the second display body or the third display body can be changed as appropriate as compared with the first display body, and the size, shape, or the like may be changed instead of the color. Needless to say, a combination thereof may be used. In addition, the digest display area is provided in the center lower part instead of the lower left corner of the effect display part, and the first display body alternately moves to the digest display area from the left and right of the digest display area every time the change of the specific decorative design starts. The position of the specific display area and the digest display area, the movement mode from the specific display area to the digest display area, and the like are not limited to the above embodiment.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the aspect related to the erasure of the first display body, the second display body, and the third display body is moved from the specific display area to the digestion display area and erased. The mode may be such that the specific display area is erased without being moved, and if it is finally erased, the aspect related to the erasure can be appropriately changed. In addition, the timing at which the first display body and the second display body are erased can be appropriately changed. For example, the symbols may be displayed in the specific display area or the digestion display area until immediately before the symbol is fixedly displayed. . Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although it is supposed that the specific display area for displaying a 1st display body will be formed, if a 1st display body is added in the display part for production, it will be 1st like a specific display area. It is not necessary to form a display area dedicated to display of the display body.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the third display body is always displayed in a situation where the number of fixed display times of the symbol is reaching the specific number or the specific number of steps, and the design is such that the fixed display frequency of the symbol is the specific number of times or the specific number of steps. The third display body is digested at the start of the fluctuation of the first display body, but it is selectively determined by lottery or the like whether or not the third display body is displayed, and the first display body is displayed without displaying the third display body. The number of symbol fixed display reaches a specific number or a specific number of stages (that is, the first display body is digested at the start of symbol variation when the symbol fixed display count is a specific number or a specific level) It is also possible to configure so as to give a special situation.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that the reservation information is digested in the order obtained, but the order in which the reservation information is digested can be appropriately changed. It may be configured to preferentially digest the hold information related to winning in the start winning combination 17 rather than the hold information related to winning.

In the above embodiment, the start command and the stop command are transmitted from the main control device to the sub control device. However, the stop command is not transmitted by using the timer of the sub control device. There is no problem.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the control is divided into two control devices, ie, the main control device and the sub control device. However, the control may be performed by one main control device. There is no problem even if the specific effect storage area and the f counter are provided in the storage means of the control device, and it is not necessary to create a start command, schedule information, or the like when controlling with one main control device. Further, in the above embodiment, a pachinko machine that uses two types of symbols, a special symbol and a decorative symbol, is used, but a pachinko machine that uses only a special symbol may be used, and the special symbol display unit may be included in the effect display unit. It may be provided in other positions such as in the game area and the center member.

  Furthermore, when the second specific condition is satisfied in the lottery using the g counter, it is possible to appropriately change how many first display bodies are changed to the second display bodies. As a result of the lottery, if the specific information is satisfied in the lottery by the g counter in the schedule information for digesting the five first display bodies at a time, all the five first display bodies are changed to the second display bodies. You may do it. In addition, the timing for changing is not limited to winning, and it is also possible to change the timing from the first display body to the second display body at the start of symbol variation when the number of schedule information is equal to or less than the predetermined number. is there. Further, a plurality of types of second display bodies may be set, and there is no problem even if the second display body is changed in detail according to the result of the big hit lottery or the like. On the other hand, there is no problem even if it is configured not to use the second display body (of course, lottery is not executed).

Furthermore, a plurality of types of display bodies are set as the third display body, and the possibility that the specific gaming state will be ended when the third display body is digested varies depending on the type of the third display body (for example, When the blue third display body is displayed, there is a high possibility that the number of fixed display times of the symbol accompanying the digestion of the third display body is a specific number of times, and when the red third display body is displayed, It is also possible to configure such that, for example, there is a high possibility that the number of fixed display times of symbols accompanying the digestion of the third display body is the number of specific stages.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the numerical value is acquired from three counters of the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter as the big hit lottery. However, it is possible to deal with only one counter, and two counters. Of course, it is also possible to obtain a numerical value from four or more counters. The random number as the lottery means can be either a soft random number or a hard random number.

Further, the number of special winning means, the movable mode of the special winning means in the special gaming state, and the like are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment. For example, only one special winning means may be provided. . In addition, it may be configured to selectively cause a plurality of special gaming states with different numbers of opening operations of the special winning means, and as a movable mode of the special winning means in the special gaming state, the game ball is almost won. There is no problem even if such a movable mode is included.
Furthermore, when the first specific condition is satisfied, the number of first display bodies to be digested at a time can be appropriately changed as a matter of course, and a plurality of patterns are set as the number to be digested at one time ( For example, the number of the first display bodies to be digested at a time can be set more finely than the above embodiment in correspondence with the result of the big hit lottery, etc. Is possible.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, regarding the satisfaction of the first specific condition and the satisfaction of the second specific condition, one of the conditions is that the basic fluctuation pattern becomes the specific basic fluctuation pattern, but it is included in the schedule information. One of the conditions may be that the information corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the c counter is scheduled information in which the result of the big win lottery is “big hit”. That is, the condition that the symbol fixed display mode is made to be a special fixed display mode in the prior determination is satisfied, and the obtained numerical value from the first effect determining random number (second effect determining random number) is the first specific numerical value (first 2 specific numerical value), it may be determined that the first specific condition (second specific condition) is satisfied. Needless to say, a combination with the above embodiment is possible.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the f counter is provided as the first effect determination random number and the g counter is provided as the second effect determination random number. However, the first effect determination random number and the second effect determination random number are provided by one counter. It is also possible to configure so that the random number is also used.

In the above embodiment, when schedule information is received in a specific gaming state, numerical values are acquired from the f counter and the g counter, or added to the schedule information and stored. When schedule information is received even in a gaming state (normal state or the like), numerical values may be acquired from the f counter and g counter, and added to the schedule information and stored. In that case, in the game state other than the specific game state, the above-described control may not be executed such as not referring to the numerical values obtained from the f counter and the g counter when digesting the schedule information.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although it is supposed that there exists the same fixed display mode in the special fixed display mode in a 1st special symbol display part, and the special fixed display mode in a 2nd special symbol display part, a special symbol display part Each of the special confirmation display modes may be different every time, and it is naturally possible to set a plurality of patterns as the special confirmation display modes having the same “big hit” type. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the special confirmation display mode in the second special symbol display unit is only “7”, but there may be two patterns “3” and “7”. In the above embodiment, only the “third big win” is set due to the winning to the second start winning means, but the number of operations of the special winning means in the special gaming state is different, or the special gaming state It goes without saying that a plurality of types of “big hit” can be set such that the specific number of times in the specific gaming state that occurs after the end is different.

Furthermore, there is no problem even if the f counter or the g counter is used as another effect determining random number in a gaming state other than the specific gaming state.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the second start winning means is configured to be variable between a first state in which a game ball can win and a second state in which a game ball cannot win. It is configured to be variable between a first state that is easy to play and a second state in which game balls are difficult to win (that is, the winning opening in the second starting winning means in the second state is like a tulip-type electric accessory that can be seen in the past). It is of course possible that the game ball can be won even in the second state by not being completely closed, but it is difficult to win compared to the first state. Further, in the above embodiment, the first start winning means is the start winning opening. However, like the second start winning means, the first start winning means is also in the first state in which the game balls can be won or are easy to win. It is also possible to configure so as to change to the second state where it is impossible or impossible to win.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the number of digests of the first display body associated with the start of symbol variation is determined when the schedule information is received, that is, based on the result of prior determination, but based on the result of jackpot determination ( It can also be configured to determine (for example, upon receipt of a start command). Specifically, based on the information related to the jackpot lottery result included in the start command and the information related to the basic variation pattern, the fixed display mode of the symbol is a special fixed display mode, or the basic variation pattern is When the result of the jackpot lottery is “big jackpot”, at least one of the specific basic variation patterns having a higher probability of being selected compared to the case of “off” is satisfied, and the first effect is determined When the numerical value obtained from the random number is the first specific numerical value (that is, the third specific condition is satisfied), a relatively large number of first display bodies are erased from the effect display unit during the variation of the symbol related to the start command. It becomes a structure such as. Note that the timing for acquiring the numerical value from the first effect determination random number may be when the schedule information is received or when the start command is received.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a pachinko machine that is an example of a gaming machine has been described. However, the present invention is naturally applicable to other gaming machines such as a sealed pachinko machine.
All elements described in the claims, the description and the drawings (for example, the control means, the first symbol display section, the second symbol display section, the special winning means, the first starting winning means, the second starting winning prize) As long as there is no clear description that consciously limits the number, the means and the like may be physically single or plural, and the arrangement may be appropriately changed. In addition, the element names (names given to the elements) used in the claims and the description are merely given for convenience of description of the present case, and thereby have a special meaning. Is not particularly conscious of In other words, what is an element is not limitedly interpreted only by the element name. For example, the “control unit” may be hardware alone or may include software. Further, whether to configure a plurality of elements of all the elements as appropriate integrally or to divide one element into a plurality of elements, unless specifically specified in the claims or the like, Any of these is easily considered by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the adoption of a gaming machine having a structural difference within such a range simply because it is not described in this embodiment does not avoid the right according to the present invention. .
