The decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special drawing. For this reason, the player can recognize a big hit or a loss from the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the stopped symbol effective line 28 of the symbol display device 17.

  The symbol display device 17 displays a variation so that the decoration moves along a predetermined variation direction (vertical direction from top to bottom in the embodiment) at the start of the symbol variation effect. The decorative drawings that are variably displayed in the determined stop order are stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. In the embodiment, at the start of the symbol variation effect, the decorative symbols start to vary in the order of the left symbol column 26a, the middle symbol column 26b, and the right symbol column 26c. The left symbol column 26a, the right symbol column 26c, and the middle symbol column Based on the variation timing of the decorative drawing that is stopped and displayed in the order of 26b, the variation of the decorative drawing according to the effect content of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17 and the number of stored special drawing start hold information (described later) The timing is appropriately changed.

  In addition, in the symbol display device 17, before the symbol variation effect ends, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, and the symbol rows 26a, 26b, When the decorative drawing of 26c is displayed in a fixed stop state, one symbol variation effect is finished. In other words, the symbol variation effect (the first special diagram variation display and the second special diagram variation display) is determined from the start of the variation of the decorative drawing (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one special diagram start hold information. The process is executed once until the stop. The “variable display” is a state in which the decorations displayed at the effective stop position 27 are changing in a predetermined order in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The “decision stop” of the decorative drawing is a state in which the decorative drawing is continuously stopped and displayed at the effective stop position 27 in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c for a predetermined special figure variation interval time. . In the embodiment, 500 ms (milliseconds) is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol variation effect (first special diagram variation display) based on the detection of the first start prize detection sensor 34, and the second start prize detection sensor. 500 ms is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol variation effect (second special diagram variation display) based on 35 detection. In addition, the “temporary stop” of the decoration diagram means that the decoration diagram displayed so as to remain at the effective stop position 27 in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is not continuously stopped for the special figure variation interval time. is there. That is, the temporary stop of the decorative drawing includes a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in the fluctuation state at the effective stop position 27 and a state in which the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special drawing fluctuation interval time.

  Here, in the first special figure display unit 50A and the symbol display device 17, the first special figure fluctuation display and the symbol fluctuation effect relating to the first special figure fluctuation display are started, and the special figure 1 and the decorative figure are displayed in a fixed stop state. Is done. Similarly, in the second special symbol display unit 50B and the symbol display device 17, the second special symbol variation display and the symbol variation effect relating to the second special symbol variation display are started, and the special diagram 2 and the decorative diagram are confirmed and stopped. Is done. In the first and second special figure display units 50A and 50B, the special figure fluctuation display is not performed at the same time. When one of the special figure display units 50A and 50B is performing the special figure fluctuation display, The first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 60c is held and stored.

  Here, in the symbol display device 17 according to the embodiment, 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” are set as basic ornamental drawings in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The figure is variably displayed in order in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. In addition, as a decoration drawing, it is not restricted to this, It is set as the form which a player can distinguish and identify each decoration drawing like arbitrary numbers, a character, a design, etc. The decoration diagram of the embodiment can be given a first identification pattern that allows the player to definitely recognize that a probable change state (described later) is given after the jackpot game ends, and a probable change state after the jackpot game ends It is classified into the 2nd identification design which can recognize that there is sex nondeterministically. In this embodiment, the probability variation state that can be given after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later. Here, as a 1st identification design, even if it sets suitably from the basic decoration drawings, the special decoration drawing determined in addition to the basic decoration drawings can also be used. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “0”, “2”, “4”, “ An example in which the even symbols “6” and “8” are the second identification symbols will be described.

  In the symbol display device 17, the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c that are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop positions 27 (stop symbol effective lines 28) of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are symbol combinations. It is possible to grasp that the big hit game is given in the case of. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is fixed and displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row is set as the big hit symbol combination. . The symbol combination of the decorations that can recognize the jackpot becomes a jackpot display displayed on the symbol display device 17, and a jackpot game advantageous to the player is given after the symbol variation effect is completed. In the embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned basic decoration drawing that is variably displayed on the symbol display device 17, it is set to be able to display a special decoration drawing (special symbol), and the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row is set. Any of the above (for example, the effective stop position of the middle symbol row) is displayed in a fixed stop manner so that it can be recognized that a predetermined big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decoration drawing that can recognize the possibility of the jackpot game is a hit suggestion display displayed on the symbol display device 17. On the other hand, if even one of the symbols in all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed at the effective stop position 27 of the symbol display device 17 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, “734”, “171”, etc.) ), In principle, it can be recognized that the game is “out of play” where no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing which can recognize this deviation becomes a deviation display of the symbol display device 17. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined jackpot game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of specific symbol combinations include symbol combinations in which three rows of decorative symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order (for example, “123” and “321”), and left and right symbol rows 26a and 26b. Are the same, and the symbol combination of the right symbol column 26c is shifted by one (for example, “778”), and the symbol combination in which the three rows of ornamental symbols are a predetermined word alignment (for example, “758” (Nagoya)). ) And the like. In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of a decorative pattern that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result.

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

  In addition, the symbol display device 17 displays a symbol combination of decorations corresponding to the displayed special symbol as a result of the special symbol variation display performed by the first special symbol display unit 50A and the second special symbol display unit 50B. Is done. That is, the special figure displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B and the symbol combination of the decorations displayed on the symbol display device 17 correspond to each other, and the symbol variation effect is provided. When the process is completed, the special figure is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B, and the decoration figure is confirmed and stopped on the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c of the symbol display device 17. It is like that. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol. Yes.

(About probabilistic state)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. In the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the fact that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability is changed from a low probability (168/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1516/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the jackpot will fluctuate with a high probability and the jackpot game is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player will be the probability variation jackpot. Playing games while expecting. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit to which a probability change state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the probability change state is continuously given until the next big hit occurs. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is provided, and the transition to the non-probability variation state may be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be the number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) executed after the probability variation state is given. Also, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the start opening / closing member 33 that opens the second start winning opening 31, it is possible to increase the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 31. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the start opening / closing member 33 for opening the second start winning opening 31 for one time per normal figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening opening / closing member 33. Alternatively, it can be realized by increasing the number of times of opening / closing of the start opening / closing member 33, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a shortened state, and the shortened state in the embodiment is set by combining the above (1) to (3). In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko balls to the second start winning opening 31 is improved.

  In the embodiment, the normal time displayed on the general map display unit 55 in the variable state is shorter than the change time of the normal map variable display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the non-variable short state. The fluctuation time of the figure fluctuation display (common figure fluctuation time at the time of change) is set to a shorter time, and the change time of the normal figure change display performed in the common figure display section 55 is shortened with the provision of the change state. It has come to be. Specifically, in the embodiment, the non-change normal time change time is set to 2000 ms, and the change normal time change time is set to 820 ms. In addition, the probability per universal figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (in the embodiment, 1/65536), and the probability per universal figure in the variable state is set to a high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). It is set, and the probability per universal figure varies from a low probability to a high probability with the provision of the variable state. In the embodiment, 700 ms is set between the time when the normal map is confirmed and stopped and the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval).

  In addition, in the state where the variable state is applied, the start opening / closing member 33 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, when winning is performed in the normal map display (in the case of the normal map), a predetermined time (200 ms in the embodiment) after the start opening / closing member 33 is opened. Opening operation to maintain the open state is performed once until) elapses. On the other hand, in the state where the variable state is given, when the normal map change display is won (in the case of the normal map), the start opening / closing member 33 is opened until a predetermined opening time elapses. The opening operation for maintaining the state is performed five times. Specifically, the opening time of 896 ms, 960 ms, 960 ms, 960 ms, and 1024 ms is performed, and the interval time during which the start opening / closing member 33 is held in the closed state during each opening operation is 640 ms, 560 ms, 560 ms, and 560 ms. Is set to In other words, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the start opening / closing member 33 is longer than in the state where the variable state is not given, and it is set so as to operate advantageously for the player. ing. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (three in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second starting winning port 31 per one time is set, and the winning after opening the opening opening and closing member 33 is set.

The main control CPU 60a obtains a hit determination random number, a normal variation pattern determination random number, and the like) at the same timing.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not a big hit is made using the determination random number per special figure (big hit determination), and is a value from “0” to “65535” that the random number for determination per special figure can take. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from a total of 65536 integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values (1516 in the embodiment) set in the probability variation state is larger than the number of jackpot determination values (168 in the embodiment) set in the non-probability state. Many are set. In other words, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, a jackpot game is likely to occur.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The determination value for special figure determination is displayed on the fixed stop display on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display unit 50B as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special drawing display unit 50A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number. In this embodiment, the special figure determination value is set to an integer value of “0” to “123” corresponding to the 124 types of the special figure determination random numbers described above. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are associated with each value individually.

  In addition, an effect execution determination value (reach determination value) is stored in the main control ROM 60b. The effect execution determination value indicates whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests that the jackpot display may be displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the jackpot determination (hit determination) is negative. This is a determination value used in the determination (reach lottery), and is determined from among 239 integers from the numerical values “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for effect execution determination. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines that an effect such as a reach effect is to be executed when the value of the obtained effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value.

(About special map fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect mode) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the final stop display. , Which specifies the basic content of the sound production mode). In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design fluctuation effect and special figure from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of fluctuation display) is specified.

  Here, as the special figure fluctuation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns for jackpots, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns for reach reach to be performed, and a normal deviation pattern for which reach production is not performed. A special figure variation pattern is provided. The special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. The special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result is affirmative, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for normal deviation is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the performance execution determination is negative. is there. The reach effect is an effect that is performed from when the reach display is displayed in the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 17 until when the symbol combination of the decorative drawing that is a big hit or lost is stopped and displayed. Hereinafter, the special figure variation pattern may be simply referred to as a variation pattern.

  The types of special figure variation patterns that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a based on the winnings at the start winning ports 30, 31 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. Usually, a deviation variation pattern P1 is set as a special-figure variation pattern for a loss effect, which can be determined when the big hit determination at the start winning opening 30, 31 is a negative determination (miss). In the symbol variation effect executed with the variation pattern P1 for the off-direction effect, a normal background (normal variation image) is displayed as a background image. The normal background is a basic background image that is displayed with a normal symbol variation effect without a special effect, and is displayed with an irrelevant effect without a reach effect. It means what is displayed until the next symbol variation effect is started. In addition, the normal background is displayed in the symbol variation effect accompanied by the reach effect between the start of the change and the reach display. The effect pattern that defines the specific contents of the normal shift effect that is normally specified by the shift variation pattern P1 is normally stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the shift effect pattern D1. Then, when a special figure variation pattern designation command that normally designates the deviation variation pattern P1 is input, the production control CPU 65a normally determines the deviation production pattern D1 as the production pattern, and usually designates the deviation production pattern D1. The command is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the special figure variation pattern for the off-axis reach effect that can be determined on the basis of the winnings at the start winning ports 30 and 31 is that after the normal reach effect (described later) is executed, the off-set symbol is fixed and stopped. First normal reach deviation variation pattern P2 and second normal reach deviation variation pattern P3, and first reach reach variation pattern P4 and second super reach deviation, after executing the normal reach effect and performing the super reach effect (described later), the stop symbol is fixed and stopped. The variation pattern P5, the third super reach misalignment variation pattern P6, and the fourth super reach misalignment variation pattern P7 are set.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a normal reach effect is executed as a special figure variation pattern for a jackpot effect that can be determined when the jackpot determination at the start winning opening 30, 31 is affirmative determination (win). The normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P8 for definitely stopping the big hit symbol later, the first super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9, the second super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P10, and the second super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P10 for finalizing the big hit symbol after executing the normal reach production and the super reach production. A 3 super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P11, a fourth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P12, and a fifth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P13 are set. Further, as the special figure fluctuation pattern for the big hit effect that can be determined only when the big hit judgment is affirmative (hit), the first full rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P14 and the second full rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P15 are set. Yes.

  The symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 is executed after the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and the reach display is displayed in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c. Then, after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b and the deviated symbol is derived, the deviated symbol is confirmed and stopped. Further, in the normal reach effect, the normal background is displayed as the background image in the same manner as the above-described normal deviation effect, and the reach effect is performed under the normal background. That is, the normal reach effect means a reach effect that is executed under a normal background. The effect patterns that define the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach deviation variation patterns P2, P3 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the normal reach deviation effect patterns D2, D3. Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the normal reach deviation variation patterns P2, P3 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the normal reach deviation production patterns D2, D3 as the production patterns, and the normal reach deviation pattern D2, An effect pattern designation command for designating D3 is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effects specified by the first to fourth super reach deviation variation patterns P4 to P7 are temporarily stopped in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c, similarly to the normal reach deviation variation patterns P2 and P3. Then, the normal reach production is executed. Then, the background image is switched from the normal background to the reach effect image, and the super reach effect is executed (see FIG. 10). The reach effect image is a background image that is one of the special backgrounds and is displayed in a mode different from the normal background, and allows the player to recognize that it is a super reach effect. As the reach effect image, for example, an animation image (moving image) in which a specific character appears, a gradation image in which lightness, darkness, and color tone are changed in stages are set. Then, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b, and the off symbol is derived, and the off symbol is fixed and stopped. In other words, the super reach effect is a reach effect that is developed after the normal reach effect, and means that the reach effect image is displayed as the background image. The effect patterns that define the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the first to fourth super reach shift variation patterns P4 to P7 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the corresponding super reach shift effect patterns D4 to D7. . When the special control variation pattern designation command for designating the first to fourth super-reach deviation variation patterns P4 to P7 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the corresponding super-reach deviation production patterns D4 to D7. Then, an effect pattern designating command for designating the super reach misalignment effect patterns D4 to D7 is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach big hit variation pattern P8 is the same as the normal reach deviation variation patterns P2 and P3, after the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c and the reach display is displayed. Normal reach production is executed. Then, after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b and the big hit symbol is derived, the big hit symbol is fixed and stopped. Further, in the normal reach effect, the normal background is displayed as the background image in the same manner as the above-described normal deviation effect, and the reach effect is performed under the normal background. The effect pattern that defines the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach jackpot variation pattern P8 is stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the normal reach jackpot effect pattern D8. Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P8 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the normal reach big hit production pattern D8 as the production pattern, and designates the normal reach big hit production pattern D8. The designated command is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effects specified by the first to fifth super reach big hit variation patterns P9 to P13 are the same as the super reach deviation variation patterns P4 to P7, after the normal reach effect is executed after the reach display is displayed. The background image is switched from the normal background to the reach effect image, and the super reach effect is executed (see FIG. 10). Then, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b, the big hit symbol is derived, and the big hit symbol is determined and stopped. The effect patterns that specify the specific contents of the symbol variation effects specified by the first to fifth super reach jackpot variation patterns P9 to P13 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the corresponding super reach jackpot effect patterns D9 to D13. . Then, when the special figure variation pattern designation command for designating the first to fifth super reach big hit variation patterns P9 to P13 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the corresponding super reach big hit production patterns D9 to D13. Then, an effect pattern designation command for designating the super reach effect patterns D9 to D13 is output to the display control CPU 70a. In addition, the symbol variation effect specified by the full-reach big hit variation patterns P14 and P15 develops from the normal reach effect, and produces an effect in which all the decorative drawings change in a state where the combination of the decorative figures that are displayed as the big hit display is arranged. After execution, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped. The effect patterns that specify the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the full rotation reach big hit variation patterns P14, P15 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the corresponding full rotation reach big hit effect patterns D14, D15. When the special control fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the full rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P14, P15 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the full rotation reach big hit production pattern D14, D15 as the production pattern, and the full rotation An effect pattern designation command for designating the reach big hit effect patterns D14 and D15 is output to the display control CPU 70a.

(Judgment value for determining special figure fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 60b stores a special figure variation pattern determination value. The determination value for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is a determination value for determining one special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. A total of 229 integers of “228” are assigned a predetermined number of determination values for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern for each special figure fluctuation pattern. Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern to which the determination value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number is assigned, so that the production contents and the production time (special figure) executed in the symbol fluctuation production are determined. Variation pattern) is identified.

  Here, in the embodiment, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by a one-stage lottery process, but the special figure fluctuation pattern may be determined by a two-stage lottery process. For example, in the main control ROM 60b, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation pattern groups obtained by grouping a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns according to the characteristics of the fluctuation mode are set, and the special figure fluctuation pattern is used as a random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern. A type determining random number and a special figure variation pattern determining random number are set. Then, after determining the special figure fluctuation pattern group using the random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern type, any special figure fluctuation included in the determined special figure fluctuation pattern group using the random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern Determine the pattern. When the special figure variation pattern is determined by a two-stage lottery process, a predetermined number of special figure variation pattern type determination determination values corresponding to the special figure variation pattern type determination random number are assigned to each special figure variation pattern group. At the same time, by assigning a predetermined number of special figure fluctuation pattern determining judgment values corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random numbers to each special figure fluctuation pattern included in each special figure fluctuation pattern group, two steps as described above are performed. A special figure variation pattern is determined by a lottery process. Thus, when determining the special figure fluctuation pattern by the two-stage lottery process, the special figure fluctuation pattern group is determined based on the special figure fluctuation pattern type determination random number, so that the production contents can be easily selected for each system. The ease of selecting each special figure variation pattern is determined by determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from each special figure fluctuation pattern group based on the random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern. Can be adjusted. The special figure variation pattern group can be grouped according to the type of reach such as normal reach or super reach, or can be grouped according to the type of specific notice effect (roulette notice effect) described later.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the non-variable state (example). Is set more than 1). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur.

  In the main control ROM 60b, a plurality of types of usual pattern variation patterns are stored, and a determination value for determining a typical pattern variation pattern is stored corresponding to each ordinary diagram variation pattern. Here, the general map variation pattern specifies the fluctuation time of the general map variation display from when the general diagram variation display is started until the fixed map is displayed in a fixed stop state. The determination value for determining the normal variation pattern is a determination value used for determining the normal variation pattern using the random number for determining the normal variation pattern, and the numerical values “0” to “ It is determined from all 9 types of integers up to “8”. Then, a predetermined judgment value is assigned to each ordinary fluctuation pattern, and the ordinary fluctuation pattern assigned with the decision value for determining the ordinary fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired random number for determining the ordinary fluctuation pattern is the main control. It is specified by the CPU 60a. Here, the decision value for determining the usual figure variation pattern is determined depending on whether the gaming state at the time of making the decision per ordinary figure is the variable state or the non-variable state, and the number and number of assigned common figure fluctuation patterns. Is different. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the non-variable short state, a common figure variation pattern determination determination value is assigned to one common figure variation pattern, and a regular time figure that defines a variation time (for example, 2000 ms) for a predetermined time. Whereas the variation pattern is determined, the decision values for determining the general variation pattern are assigned to multiple (two in the embodiment) ordinary variation patterns in the variable state, and each ordinary variation pattern is assigned. Of a normal figure fluctuation pattern that defines a fluctuation time of a predetermined time (for example, 820 ms) and a different fluctuation time (for example, 200 ms) at a ratio according to the number of assigned decision values for determining the normal fluctuation pattern for One of the common map fluctuation patterns is determined.

The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, the main control CPU 60a has a function as a random number acquisition means for acquiring various random numbers triggered by winning at the start winning ports 30, 31 (establishment of start conditions), and at the start of the design variation effect, obtains random numbers. By determining whether the value of the random number acquired by the means matches a predetermined hit determination value (big hit determination value), it is determined whether or not a hit game (big hit game) is awarded.

That is, when the main control CPU 60a as the hit determining means determines that the hit is made, the pachinko machine 10 is given a win game that is advantageous to the player after the win display is displayed in the symbol change effect on the symbol display device 17. It is comprised so that. The main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns (variation patterns) stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning at the start winning ports 30, 31. A function as a variation pattern determining means (variation pattern determining means) is provided. The main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determining means for determining whether or not to give a probability change state in which the probability that a hit will occur (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means becomes affirmative) is higher than normal. At the same time, it is configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state after the winning game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is a win).

  Further, the main control CPU 60a, when a win occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative), the winning rate improvement state in which the probability that the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31 becomes high ( It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination means for determining whether or not to give a (variable state), and when giving a winning rate improvement state, a winning rate improvement state granting period for determining a period for giving a winning rate improvement state is determined. In addition to functioning as a determining means, it also functions as a shortened state giving means for giving a shortened state only during a period in which a winning rate improvement state determined after the winning game is finished. Here, the main control CPU 60a waits for a predetermined number of special figure fluctuation displays (design fluctuation effects) to be executed after the winning game ends or until the next winning game is given. Is determined as a winning rate improvement state granting period. As described above, the main control CPU 60a gives a privilege state (probability change state, variable change state) advantageous to the player after winning a game based on winning at the start winning ports 30, 31 when the hit determination is a win. It has a function as privilege state determination means for determining whether or not to do. The main control RAM 60c is acquired while the symbol variation effect is being performed on the symbol display device 17 (that is, while the special symbol variation display is being performed on the first and second special symbol display units 50A and 50B). It functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of received winning information as starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the symbol display device 17 or the first special symbol display unit 50A) is the first. Triggered by detection of the second start winning detection sensor 35 while the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and display means (the symbol display device 17 and the second special figure display unit 50B) stored as start hold information. It functions as a second hold storage means for storing the acquired winning information as second start hold information.

(About processing on the main control board)
Next, processing executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be described. The main control CPU 60a shifts to a state in which a game on the pachinko machine 10 is possible after executing an initial setting process such as a security check in response to power-on of the pachinko machine 10. In this state, normal processing is executed at a predetermined control cycle (every 4 milliseconds). Here, in the normal process executed by the main control CPU 60a, a random number update process for updating various random numbers, a timer update process for measuring time, a command input / output process for inputting / outputting various commands, and a game information display unit M Processing related to display contents, flag setting processing, processing related to execution of jackpot game, etc., and special figure input processing related to winning at the starting part (start winning prize opening) and judgment per special figure (hit determination) Special figure start processing is executed. Hereinafter, the special figure input process and the special figure start process will be specifically described.

(Special drawing input process)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 30 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 34 corresponding to the first start winning opening 30 detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (value of random number for determination per special figure, value of random number for determination of special figure, value of random number for determination of performance execution, value of various random numbers such as random number for determination of special figure variation pattern). The main control CPU 60a reads and sets the winning information (random number value) as the first special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 35 corresponding to the second start winning opening 31 detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (value of random number for determination per special figure, value of random number for determination of special figure, value of random number for determination of performance execution, value of various random numbers such as random number for determination of special figure variation pattern). The main control CPU 60a reads out and sets the winning information (random number value) as second special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is terminated.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed in the special figure display units 50A and 50B and the symbol display device 17, or whether the big hit game is being played. (Step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of hold in the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a also stores the special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14) and stores the second special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a acquires figure start hold information (various random values such as random number for special figure determination, random value for determining special figure, random value for determining execution execution, random number for determining special figure variation pattern). (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires the second special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, and then stores the second special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area. 2. The special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special figure. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the second special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure hold display section 53 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the stored big hit determination value (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is positive when the non-probability change state (low probability) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 168/65536, and when the probability change state is high (high probability) The probability (positive hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative is set to 1516/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (special symbol 2), which becomes a big hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B, on the basis of the acquired value of the special symbol determination random number (step B24). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state to “1” after the end of the big hit game when the symbol pattern is a big hit symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the main control CPU 60a is a jackpot symbol that does not impart a probability variation state. Set the probability variation flag to "0" Also, if the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a variable state, set the variable flag indicating the variable state to "1" after the jackpot game ends, and if the jackpot symbol does not give a variable state Set the variable flag to "0". The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. When the big hit symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special symbol variation pattern from the winning symbol variation patterns based on the value of the special symbol variation pattern determination random number (step B25). ).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display unit 50B to display the outlier symbol as a final stop symbol (special feature). 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for loss reach based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern determination (step B29).

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the error symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, and B31, sets a predetermined control command (step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure variation pattern and designates the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and the special figure for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. 2 Set the designated command. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether or not the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for determining the special figure, the value of the random number for determining the special figure, the value of the random number for determining the performance execution, and the value of the random number for determining the special figure variation pattern (step B19). A hit determination process is executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second start winning opening 31 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired with the winning of 30 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires the first special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then stores the first special figure start hold information stored in the second special figure storage area in the second special figure storage area. One special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The first special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special feature. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the first special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the first special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 60a stores the value of the acquired random number for special figure determination in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the stored big hit determination value (step B32). When the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is a big hit (when a big hit game is generated), “1” indicating a big hit variation is set in the hit flag (step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step B34). ). Here, since the jackpot symbol of the special figure 1 is associated with the value of the special figure determining random number, the main control CPU 60a associates with the acquired special figure determining random number value. The jackpot symbol is determined by determining. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the big hit special figure fluctuation patterns based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number. (Step B35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display unit 50A as a final stop symbol (special stop symbol). FIG. 1) is determined (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for loss reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B39).

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A. Is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 1) in steps B35, B39, and B41, sets a predetermined control command (step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure variation pattern and designates the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and the special figure for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. 1 Set a designated command. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B17 is negative (if the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect? If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  Here, each control command set in the special figure start process is output to the effect control board 65 by the main control CPU 60a in the command input / output process in the normal process described above, and in the special figure variation pattern in the timer update process. The main control CPU 60a starts measuring the specified fluctuation time, and at the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the corresponding special figure display units 50A and 50B so as to start the special figure fluctuation display. Then, the main control CPU 60a instructs the stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the fluctuation time set in the specified special-figure fluctuation pattern, and controls the production of all symbol stop commands for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped. Output to the substrate 65.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, in the case of a jackpot symbol of the type that the jackpot symbol gives a probability change state (big hit symbol A, B, a, b), the probability change indicating the probability change state after the jackpot game ends in the flag setting process. Set the flag to “1”. The probability variation flag is set so that the probability variation flag is set to “0” by the main control CPU 60a in the flag setting process when the probability variation state end condition is satisfied. In the embodiment, the probability change state end condition is satisfied when the next jackpot game starts, and the probability control flag is set to “0” at the timing when the main control CPU 60a starts the jackpot game. It has become. That is, the main control CPU 60a can specify the gaming state by referring to the probability change flag as the gaming state specifying information.

(About production control)
Next, processing executed on the effect control board 65 will be described. The effect control CPU 65a of the effect control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. In the effect control ROM 65b, a plurality of types of effect patterns for specifying the effect contents are stored corresponding to each effect mode, and determination values for effect pattern distribution are stored corresponding to each effect pattern. The effect pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used by the effect control CPU 65a to determine the effect pattern using the effect pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined determination value is assigned to each effect pattern and acquired. An effect pattern to which an effect pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the effect pattern distribution random number is assigned is specified. Then, the effect control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern corresponding to the special figure variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a based on the set value of the input effect mode flag. That is, the effect control CPU 65a has a function as an effect pattern determining means for determining a predetermined effect pattern from a plurality of effect patterns according to the effect mode based on the special figure variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. doing.

  In addition, when the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the effect control CPU 65a displays each symbol for the final stop display on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the special figure corresponding to the command. The decoration of the rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is determined. In other words, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the effect control CPU 65a displays each symbol row 26a, 26b, Decide the decorative figure of 26c (big hit symbol). Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. To do. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a starts measuring time by a sub-timer means (not shown) at the same time when the special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and at a predetermined timing set in the determined effect pattern. Then, a temporary stop symbol designation command for temporarily stopping the decoration of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is output. Then, when the all symbols stop command is output from the main control CPU 60a, the decoration drawing is fixedly stopped.

(Display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input from the effect control CPU 65a, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the contents of the effect corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the effect pattern is selected as the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled to execute the symbol variation effect with the corresponding display contents. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. When the temporary stop symbol designation command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is input from the effect control CPU 65a, the display control CPU 70a designates the temporary stop symbol at the effective stop position 27 of the corresponding symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. When the decoration designated by the command is temporarily stopped and all the symbol stop commands are input, the decoration designated by the decoration designation designation command is displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to make the confirmation stop display at 17, and the symbol variation effect is ended. Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a displays a background image corresponding to the designated effect mode.

(About roulette notice effect)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a special figure fluctuation pattern (a special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment of reach and the reach production) is performed based on the result of the jackpot determination triggered by the winning at the start winning ports 30 and 31. When a special figure variation pattern for a special figure) is determined, the symbol combination of the reach display, the super reach production, the full rotation reach production, or the decorative figure that is a big hit is displayed (i.e., the win display is displayed) A roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) as a notice effect for notifying that a big hit game is given) or the like can be executed during the symbol variation effect of the symbol display device 17.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the roulette notice effect execution timing K1 after the reach display is displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 is set as the timing at which the roulette notice effect can be executed (FIG. 10). reference). The roulette notice effect in the embodiment is whether or not the normal reach effect executed in the reach display state is changed to the super reach effect or the full rotation reach effect, and the type of the super reach effect in the case of development (destination). ) And full rotation reach production (development destination). The roulette notice effect is also used as an effect suggesting the degree of expectation that a jackpot display is displayed in the symbol variation effect. The super reach effect is executed after the reach display is displayed on the display unit 17a in the symbol variation effect until the symbol variation effect is stopped (the symbol combination of the decorative pattern that is out of the special symbol or out of the special symbol is stopped and displayed). It is a kind of possible development effect, and the degree of expectation that a jackpot display is displayed is increased by executing this super reach effect. Further, the full rotation reach production is a kind of development effect developed from the normal reach production, and it is definitely announced that the big hit display is displayed by executing the full rotation reach production. Yes. That is, the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) in the embodiment is developed into a super reach effect or a full rotation reach effect that can be executed before the symbol variation effect is stopped, and the symbol variation effect is stopped. It is an effect that suggests the type of super reach production and the full rotation reach production that are feasible productions. The roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) is also an effect suggesting the degree of expectation that a win display is displayed. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a pre-suggested effect execution timing K2 at which a pre-suggested effect described later can be executed is set between the start of the change of the design variation effect and the roulette notice effect executing timing K1 ( (See FIG. 10). In the embodiment, the previous suggestion effect execution timing K2 is set between the time when the reach display is displayed on the display unit 17a during the symbol variation effect and before the roulette notice effect execution timing K1, and is executed at the previous suggestion effect execution timing K2. The content suggested for the roulette notice effect is suggested by the previously suggested effect. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, although the variation times of the symbol variation effects specified by the variation patterns P2 to P15 are different, the time from the variation start to the previous suggestion effect execution timing K2 and the roulette notice effect execution timing K1. The time until is set the same. That is, in the symbol variation effects specified by the variation patterns P2 to P15, the pre-suggestion effect execution timing K2 at which the previous suggestion effect is executed and the roulette warning effect execution timing K1 at which the roulette notice effect is executed are the same. The interest of the roulette notice effect can be enhanced by not easily guessing whether it is a big hit or not due to the difference in timing when the previous suggestion effect or the roulette notice effect is executed. And in the symbol variation effect specified by each variation pattern P2 to P15 of the embodiment in which the time from the variation start to the roulette announcement effect execution timing K1 is set to be the same, the end of the symbol variation effect from the roulette notification effect execution timing K1. The time until is different. In other words, the time of the roulette notice effect or the subsequent effect (the effect following the normal reach effect or the super reach effect) is different.

  In the roulette notice effect, an option (non-suggestion option) that cannot be identified as to whether or not it will develop into a super-reach effect or a full-rotation reach effect, etc. ) Is displayed on the display unit 17a, an effect of determining one of the options in the roulette lottery form is performed, and the effect control CPU 65a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute the effect corresponding to the determined one option. Composed. For example, when a suggestion option that suggests a type of super reach effect or a full rotation reach effect is determined, the effect control CPU 65a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute the corresponding type of super reach effect or full rotation reach effect. Configured. The super reach effect as the development effect is stored in the effect control ROM 65b in a plurality of types with different expectations for the possibility of displaying a jackpot display in the symbol variation effect when the super reach effect is executed. . The contents of the effect of the roulette notice effect are specified by the effect pattern determined by the effect control CPU 65a. In other words, the effect control CPU 65a executes the roulette notice effect as the specific notice effect for recognizing and displaying a plurality of options suggesting the type of the super reach effect as the development effect and the full rotation reach effect on the symbol display device 17. (Displayed on the display unit 17a).

  Here, as suggested choices that can be displayed as choices for the roulette notice effect, "suggest option for full-rotation reach effect" that suggests full-reach reach effect and multiple suggestion options that suggest the type of super-reach effect are set. Yes. In the embodiment, four types are set as types that can be displayed as suggested choices that suggest the type of super reach production. Specifically, "suggesting options for super-developed super reach production" suggesting types of super-reach super-reach production, "suggesting options for super-reaching production of butterfly patterns" suggesting types of super-reach production of butterfly patterns, “Suggested options for directing super-reach production” indicating the type of super-reach production, and “suggesting options for chance super-reach production” indicating the type of chance super-reach production are set. In the roulette notice effect, the display of suggested performance options displayed on the display unit 17a is simplified as shown in FIG. In other words, “suggesting option for full rotation reach production” is displayed as “full rotation”, “suggesting option for super development super reach production” is displayed as “super development”, and “suggesting choice for butterfly pattern appearance super reach production” "Is a butterfly pattern appearance", "suggested option for stunning super-reach directing" is displayed as "super-hot", and "suggesting option for stunning super-reach directing" is displayed as "chance". In addition, two types of “?” And “×” are set as non-suggesting options that can be displayed as options for the roulette notice effect. In the following description, the suggestion options displayed in the roulette notice effect may be designated by the simplified notation shown in FIG. In the embodiment, seven types of suggested options and non-suggested options are set as options that can be displayed in the roulette notice effect, but the number can be changed.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state where a previous suggestion effect, which will be described later, developed during the symbol variation effect is shifted to a roulette notice effect, and a specific display mode displayed in a related effect, which will be described later, of the previous suggestion effect However, it is used as a display mode of options for the roulette notice effect. In the embodiment, a piece of glass is used as the specific display mode, and a display area 74 indicating the piece is displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17, and the display area 74 includes the above-mentioned options ("all" “Rotation”, “Super Development”, “Butterfly Appearance”, “Super Hot”, “Chance”, “?”, “×”) are displayed. In addition, as the roulette notice effect, a plurality of types with different numbers of display areas 74 to be displayed are set. Specifically, the first roulette notice effect R1 (FIG. 12A) in which eight display areas 74 are displayed and the second roulette notice effect R2 in which four display areas 74 are displayed (FIG. 12B). And a third roulette notice effect R3 (FIG. 12C) in which two display areas 74 are displayed and a fourth roulette notice effect R4 (FIG. 12D) in which one display area 74 is displayed. Is set. In the first and second roulette notice effects R1 and R2, a plurality of display areas 74 are displayed so as to be arranged in the circumferential direction, and in the third roulette notice effect R3, two display areas 74 are displayed separately on the left and right.

In the first roulette notice effect R1 and the second roulette notice effect R2, a plurality of the same options may be displayed. FIG. 12A shows an example in which two “chance” options and two “x” options are displayed.

  In the roulette lottery form in the roulette notice effect, the selection state is indicated by the display position of the index CU in the display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17 a of the symbol display device 17, and the effect control CPU 65 a By displaying the crab index CU, the current selection state of the display area 74 (option) is shown. Specifically, the indicator CU has a display form in which the outer periphery of the display region 74 displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 emits light with a luminance different from that of other regions, and depends on the display position of the indicator CU. The player can clearly recognize the selected display area 74. In FIG. 12, the index CU is represented by a thick line. The display position of the index CU moves sequentially in the display area 74 at a preset time interval, and stops at a position corresponding to any display area 74 determined in advance by the effect control CPU 65a based on the passage of a predetermined time. Is displayed. Specifically, in the first and second roulette notice effects R1 and R2, the indicator CU moves sequentially in the display area 74 in a clockwise direction, and in the third roulette notice effect R3, the two display areas 74 are moved alternately. Is set. That is, the index CU is sequentially moved to a display area adjacent to the currently stopped display area, and the stop display and the movement display of the index CU are repeatedly and continuously executed, thereby being divided into a plurality of parts. A roulette lottery form of the index CU that repeatedly moves between display areas is realized. Then, the player is notified of which display area 74 is determined by the display position of the indicator CU after the final stop display. In the fourth roulette notice effect R4 in which only one display area 74 is displayed, since the options displayed in one display area 74 are determined, the indicator CU may not be displayed. One display area 74 is indicated by an index CU.

  Here, during selection of an option in the roulette notice effect, the indicator CU is displayed in a blinking manner, and when the option is determined, the indicator CU is lit on and the determined display area 74 is displayed in a color different from that of the other areas. You may make it light-emit display with. In addition, the indicator CU may have any mode as long as it allows the player to recognize which display area 74 is selected based on the display position. Further, as the roulette lottery form, in the first and second roulette notice effects R1 and R2, the indicator CU is sequentially moved clockwise, but is sequentially moved counterclockwise, clockwise or counterclockwise. Instead, the indicator CU may move based on a preset movement pattern.

Is set as Further, the super-developed super reach jackpot effect pattern D12 in which the first roulette notice effect R1 to the third roulette notice effect R3 is executed is an effect pattern in which the suggestion option of “super development” is selected in the roulette notice effects R1 to R3. Is set. The types of effect patterns classified into the butterfly pattern appearance super reach jackpot effect pattern D11 and the super-developed super reach jackpot effect pattern D12 are the same as the effect patterns classified as the above-mentioned super-at-reaches jackpot effect pattern D10. Depending on the type of roulette notice effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns having different combinations including the corresponding “butterfly pattern appearance” or “super development” are set (see FIG. 14).

  Here, the outlier effect patterns D4 to D7 and the big hit effect patterns D9 to D12 that are common in the super reach effect are performed based on the outbreak change patterns P4 to P7 and the big hit change patterns P9 to P12 having different change times. In the productions specified by the production patterns D4 to D7 and D9 to D12, the time for the roulette notice production or the super reach production is different. In this way, by setting a plurality of variation patterns P4 to P7 and P9 to P12 having different variation times as variation patterns for executing the same type of super reach production, a roulette notice effect or a super reach effect having different variation times is set. Can increase the variation of production.

  As an effect pattern classified into the fifth super reach jackpot effect pattern D13 in which the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is executed, the 13-1 supermarket in which the suggestion option of “super hot” is selected in the fourth roulette notice effect R4. The reach jackpot effect pattern D13-1 and the 13-2 super reach jackpot effect pattern D13-2 in which the suggestion option of “butterfly pattern appearance” is selected in the fourth roulette notice effect R4 are set (see FIG. 14). ). In the embodiment, the fifth super reach jackpot effect pattern D13 in which the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is executed is different from the variation patterns P9 to P12 that specify the jackpot effect patterns D9 to D12 that specify the super reach effect. Are performed on the basis of different fifth super reach jackpot variation patterns P13, and the stage time specified by the jackpot presentation patterns D9 to D12 and the stage specified by the fifth super reach jackpot presentation pattern D13. The time of the roulette notice production or the super reach production differs from the time. In this way, by setting the fluctuation pattern P13 set to a specific time as the fluctuation time when the fourth roulette notice effect R4 for determining the big hit is executed, the premium feeling due to the difference in the fluctuation time is increased and produced. Can improve the interest of

  The first full-rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14 in which the third roulette notice effect R3 is executed is set as an effect pattern in which a suggestion option of “full rotation” is selected in the third roulette notice effect R3. Then, as the effect pattern classified into the first full rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14, “full rotation” is determined in the third roulette notice effect R3, so two display areas displayed on the display unit 17a. The combination of the options displayed in 74 is “Full rotation” and “Super development”. 14-1 Full rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14-1; “Full rotation” and “Butterfly pattern appearance” 14-2 Three types of effect patterns are set: full rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14-2, 14th full rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14-3 which becomes "full rotation" and "super hot" (see FIG. 14). Note that the second full-rotation reach big hit effect pattern D15 in which the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is executed is one of the 15th-1 full-rotation reach big hit effect pattern D15-1 in which “full rotation” is displayed in the display area 74. Only types of production patterns are set. That is, the first normal reach deviant effect pattern D2, the second normal reach deviant effect pattern D3, the chance super reach deviant effect pattern D4, the gigantic super reach deviant effect pattern D5, the butterfly pattern appearance super reach deviant effect pattern D6, and the super-developed super reach deviate. Production pattern D7, Normal reach jackpot production pattern D8, Chance super reach jackpot production pattern D9, Super hot reach jackpot production pattern D10, Butterfly pattern appearance super reach jackpot production pattern D11, Super development super reach jackpot production pattern D12, Fifth super reach The jackpot effect pattern D13 and the first full rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14 are classified into the effect patterns D2 to D14, and the corresponding roulette notice effects R1 to R4. Choices displayed in have (combinations of) are set different types of effect patterns. The fifth super reach jackpot effect pattern D13 in which the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is executed and the other super reach jackpot effect patterns D9 to D12 are based on the change patterns P13 and P9 to P12 having different change times. In the same manner as described above, the first full-rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14 in which the third roulette notice effect R3 is executed and the second full-rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D15 in which the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is executed. By separately setting the fluctuation patterns P14 and P15 having different fluctuation times as the fluctuation patterns for specifying “the full rotation” in the fourth roulette notice effect R4, the premium feeling of the roulette notice effect is displayed as the option. Amplification is also possible due to the difference.

  Here, an effect pattern in which the number of options classified into the respective effect patterns D2 to D14 and combinations of options are different may be referred to as a sub effect pattern. Then, the sub effect patterns classified into the effect patterns D2 to D14 are selected by the roulette notice effect type selection process described later, which is performed based on the result of the big hit determination and the type of the variation pattern in the effect control CPU 65a. The effect control CPU 65a determines what corresponds to the type of roulette notice effect. That is, if the first roulette notice effect R1 is selected, a sub effect pattern in which a combination of eight options is set is determined, and if the second roulette notice effect R2 is selected, a combination of four options is selected. Is determined, and if the third roulette notice effect R3 is selected, a sub effect pattern in which a combination of two options is set is determined.

  Here, as a variation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a, a variation pattern that does not specify the roulette notice effect is set, and when the special figure variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern is input, the effect control CPU 65a As the determinable effect pattern, a non-roulette notice effect pattern that ends the symbol variation effect or develops into a super reach effect without executing the roulette notice effect is stored in the effect control ROM 65b.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is affirmative, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the fluctuation pattern (the determination probability in FIG. 11) is the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P8, the first super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9. , Second super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P10, third super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P11, fourth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P12, fifth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P13, first full rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P14, second total The rotational reach big hit variation pattern P15 is set so as to increase in the order. On the other hand, when the big hit determination result is negative, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the fluctuation pattern is that the fourth super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P7, the third super reach deviation deviation pattern P6, the second super reach deviation deviation pattern P5, The first super reach shift pattern P4, the second normal reach shift pattern P3, and the first normal reach shift pattern P2 are set to increase in this order. In this way, by setting the probability of determining each variation pattern P2 to P7, P8 to P15, there is a possibility that a symbol combination of a decorative figure that will be a big hit is displayed on the symbol display device 17, that is, a big hit game is given. The degree of expectation varies depending on the type of effect pattern specified by each of the variation patterns P2 to P7 and P8 to P15. That is, the expectation that a big hit game is given is higher in the case of developing into a super reach production than in the case where only the normal reach production is executed, and also in the case of developing into a super reach production, depending on the type of the super reach production The degree of expectation that the big hit game is given is different. Specifically, the chance super reach production specified by the chance super reach loss production pattern D4 and the chance super reach big hit production pattern D9, the super hot super reach loss production pattern D5, and the super hot super reach big hit production pattern D10 are specified. Super-attractive super-reach production, butterfly-pattern appearance super-reach out-of-reason production pattern D6 and butterfly-pattern appearance super-reach jackpot production pattern D11 Comparing the super-developed super reach production specified by the production pattern D12, the chance super reach production, the super hot super reach production, the butterfly pattern appearance super reach production, and the super development super reach production Expected degree per game is given is high. It should be noted that the symbol display device 17 simply refers to “a jackpot is displayed” for “a combination of symbols of a decorative figure that will be a jackpot”, and “an expectation that a jackpot game is given” is simply “ It may be referred to as “big hit expectation”.

  As described above, in the configuration in which the degree of jackpot expectation differs depending on the type of reach production, the option that suggests the type of reach production in the roulette notice production suggests the expectation of the corresponding reach production. The full rotation reach effect specified by the full rotation reach jackpot effect patterns D14 and D15 is an effect (development effect) selected only in the case of a big hit. In addition, an effect pattern (D8) for specifying a normal reach effect in which “?” Is selected in the roulette notice effect may be selected when the jackpot determination result is affirmative, whereas “×” is indicated in the roulette notice effect. The effect pattern (D2) that specifies the normal reach effect for which is selected is not selected when the jackpot determination result is affirmative. In other words, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the expectation degree of big hits of the options displayed in the roulette notice effect is “×”, “?”, “Chance”, “Gekiatsu”, “Butterfly Appearance”, “Super Development” ”And“ Full rotation ”in this order.

  Here, in the roulette notice effect, the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 is configured to display an expectation degree display effect indicating an expectation degree corresponding to the option displayed in each display area 74. This expectation level display effect is an index that indicates how much expectation that the jackpot display in the options displayed in the display area 74 is displayed. The expected number is represented by the number of displays 75. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, “full rotation” has seven star-shaped expectation indications 75, “super development” has six star-like expectation indications 75, and “butterfly pattern appearance” has a star shape. The expectation level display 75 is “5”, “Gekiatsu” has 4 star-shaped expectation level displays 75, “Chance” has 3 star-shaped level expectations 75, and “?” Two “75” and “×” are set to one star-shaped expectation degree display 75. In the roulette notice effect, the expectation level display 75 is displayed in a different number for each option suggesting the type of the super reach effect, and the expectation level display 75 is a super reach effect (development effect). The degree of expectation corresponding to the type of is suggested. In the embodiment, a star-shaped expectation level display 75 representing an expectation level display effect is displayed in the same display area 74 where the option is displayed separately from the display of the option.

(Expectation of roulette notice effect)
Here, in the embodiment, as for the symbol variation effect in which the roulette notice effects R1 to R3 are executed, whether or not the big hit symbol (the hit display result) is displayed depending on the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effects R1 to R3. The possibility is changed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is affirmative (in the case of big hit), the presentation control CPU 65a has a smaller number of options than the roulette notice effects R1 to R3 with a larger number of options. The roulette notice effects R1 to R3 are set so as to be easily determined. On the other hand, when the big hit determination result is negative (in the case of a loss), the effect control CPU 65a determines the roulette notice effects R1 to R3 having more options than the roulette notice effects R1 to R3 having less options. It is set easily. In the embodiment, as described above, the fourth roulette notice effect R4 for displaying one option is set so that it can be determined only when the jackpot determination result is affirmative. When executed, it is a premium effect in which a jackpot display is displayed.

  The relationship between the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effect and the jackpot expectation will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 15, when the big hit determination result is affirmative, the probability that the effect control CPU 65a determines the first to third roulette notice effects R1, R2, and R3 (the decision probability in FIG. 15) is the first roulette notice. The production is set to increase in the order of production R1 <second roulette notice production R2 <third roulette notice production R3. On the other hand, when the big hit determination result is negative, the probability that the effect control CPU 65a determines the first to third roulette notice effects R1, R2, R3 is the third roulette notice effect R3 <second roulette notice effect R2 <first. It is set so as to increase in the order of the roulette notice effect R1. By setting the probability of determining each roulette notice effect R1, R2, R3 in this way, the jackpot expectation level increases as the number of options in the roulette notice effect R1, R2, R3 decreases.

  The specific configuration for determining the types of the roulette notice effects R1, R2, R3 will be described. When the effect control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern capable of the roulette notice effects R1, R2, R3, the effect control ROM 65b. The type of the roulette notice effect is selected by lottery from the first roulette notice effect R1, the second roulette notice effect R2, and the third roulette notice effect R3. decide. The random number and decision value used when determining the type of roulette effect will be referred to as the random number for the notice effect lottery and the decision value for the notice effect lottery, and the random number for the notice effect lottery is set to a predetermined number of integer values. The effect control CPU 65a updates the random number for notice effect lottery one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms), temporarily stores the updated value in the effect control RAM 65c, and rewrites the value before the update. In each of the roulette effect lottery table used when the jackpot determination result is affirmative and the roulette effect lottery table used when the jackpot determination result is negative, the first roulette notice effect R1, the second roulette notice effect R2, and the third roulette. Corresponding to the type of the notice effect R3, an integer lottery determination value that can be taken by the notice effect lottery random number is distributed. The effect control CPU 65a obtains the random number for the notice effect lottery at the input timing of the special figure variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 60a, and stores the value of the obtained random number for the notice effect lottery in the roulette effect lottery table. The type of roulette effect is determined by comparison with the set determination value for the notice effect lottery. In other words, as described above, the distribution of the determination value for the notice effect lottery in each of the roulette effect lottery tables for the positive and negative of the big hit determination result is as described above. The determination probability when the big hit determination result is affirmative is the first roulette notice effect R1. <Second roulette notice effect R2 <Third roulette notice effect R3 increases in the order, and the determination probability when the jackpot determination result is negative is third roulette notice effect R3 <second roulette notice effect R2 <first roulette notice effect By setting so as to increase in the order of R1, the jackpot expectation can be increased as the number of options in the roulette notice effects R1, R2, R3 decreases.

  Further, in the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is affirmative and the fluctuation pattern with high expectation level for the big hit is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the first roulette notice effect R1 <second roulette notice effect R2 <first. When the decision probability increases in the order of the 3 roulette announcement effect R3, the big hit determination result is negative, and the variation pattern with the low expectation degree of the big hit is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the third roulette announcement effect R3 < The decision probability is set to increase in the order of second roulette notice effect R2 <first roulette notice effect R1. Specifically, for example, when the fourth super reach deviation variation pattern P7 and the fourth super reach big hit variation pattern P12 in which the effect control CPU 65a determines the super-developed super reach effect as the super reach effect are compared, the main control CPU 60a compares the fourth super reach effect pattern P12. When the reach deviation variation pattern P7 is determined, in the lottery of the type of the roulette notice effect in the effect control CPU 65a, the third roulette notice effect R3 <the second roulette notice effect R2 <the first roulette notice effect R1. In the case where the main control CPU 60a determines the fourth super reach jackpot variation pattern P12, the first roulette notice effect R1 <the second roulette notice effect in the lottery for the type of roulette notice effect in the effect control CPU 65a. R2 <3rd rule Are easy to set is determined by the order of bets announcement attraction R3. That is, even when the same “super-development” is determined as an option in the roulette notice effect, the big hit expectation increases as the number of options in the roulette notice effect decreases.

(About previous suggestion)
The previous suggestion effect is set as an effect suggesting the possibility that the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed and suggesting the effect specifying items of the roulette notice effects R1 to R4. Then, the effect control CPU 65a uses the symbol display device 17 to display the previous suggestion effect at the previous suggestion effect execution timing K1 set between the start of change of the symbol change effect by the symbol display device 17 and the roulette notice effect execution timing K1. It is configured to execute (display on the display unit 17a). The pre-suggesting effect definitely suggests (notifies) that the roulette notice effect R1 to R4 is not executed and the specific notice suggestion effect that definitely suggests (notifies) that the roulette notice effect R1 to R4 is executed. It is classified into two types of specific notice non-execution suggestion effects (see FIG. 16). Specifically, the specific notice suggestion effect is set so that a related effect, which will be described later, suggesting the content of the specific notice effect is performed after the execution effect suggesting that the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed. The specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is set so that the related effect is not performed after the non-execution effect suggesting that the specific notice effect is not executed. In the embodiment, while a plurality of types of specific notice suggestion effects are set differently, only one type of specific notice non-execution suggestion effects is set. Multiple types can be set. Note that suggesting a production specific item is not limited to suggesting the type and content of the roulette notice production, but also including only a part (number of options, etc.) that is characteristic of the production.

  In the pre-impact production of the example, a character such as a boxer, a martial artist, a martial artist, etc. performs a pre-production that tries to destroy the glass by hitting, shooting, cutting, etc., and then performing the production after the glass breaks. Is called. Then, the form of the subsequent effect suggests whether or not the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed, and the contents of the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 and the like are indicated by the related effects executed after the subsequent effects. Configured as suggested (see FIG. 17). As a specific example of the previous effect, there is an effect in which a boxer displayed on the display unit 17a performs an operation of turning the screen of the display unit 17a so that the screen (glass) is cracked.

(About specific notice suggestion effect)
The specific notice suggestion effect is a suggestion effect that suggests the execution of the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 and the contents of the effect, and the form of the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 by executing the specific notice suggestion effect. The player can recognize whether it is executed in (contents). As the post-production, two types are set: a non-execution effect in which the glass is broken into pieces and scattered, and an execution effect in which the glass is separated into a plurality of pieces without scattering. In the specific notice suggestion effect, after the previous effect is executed, an execution effect in which the glass is separated into a plurality of pieces as a subsequent effect is set. That is, it is configured to suggest (notify) that the specific notice effect is executed by the execution effect that the glass is separated into a plurality of pieces without being scattered.

  Further, the specific notice suggestion effect is set such that a related effect in which a predetermined number of separated pieces stick to the display unit 17a is executed after the post effect (execution effect). And it is comprised so that the number of the said display area 74 in roulette notice effect R1-R4 may be suggested by the number of the pieces stuck on the display part 17a in this related effect. That is, as related effects, a first related effect M1 in which eight pieces stick to the display unit 17a, a second related effect M2 in which four pieces stick to the display unit 17a, and a second piece in which two pieces stick to the display unit 17a. Four types of related effects M3 and a fourth related effect M4 in which one piece of sticking sticks to the display unit 17a are set. In the case of distinguishing the specific notice suggestion effects according to the first related effect M1 to the fourth related effect M4 to be executed, the first specific notice suggestion effect N1, the second specific notice suggestion effect N2, the first There are cases where the third specific notice suggestion effect N3 and the fourth specific notice suggestion effect N4 are designated.

  Here, when the effect control CPU 65a of the embodiment determines to execute the first roulette notice effect R1 as the roulette notice effect, the first specific notice suggestion effect N1 as the previous suggestion effect executed in the symbol display device 17 is performed. Is determined, and the second specific notice suggestion effect N2 is determined as the previous suggestion effect to be executed by the symbol display device 17 when the second roulette notice effect R2 is determined to be executed as the roulette notice effect. When the third roulette notice effect R3 is decided to be executed, the third specific notice suggestion effect N3 is decided as the pre-impact effect executed by the symbol display device 17, and the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is given as the roulette notice effect. The fourth specific notice suggestion effect as a pre-suggest effect executed by the symbol display device 17 when it is decided to execute 4 is configured to determine. In other words, when the first related effect M1 is executed in the previous suggestion effect, the first roulette notice effect R1 is executed as the roulette notice effect, and when the second related effect M2 is executed in the previous suggestion effect, the roulette. When the second roulette notice effect R2 is executed as the notice effect and the third related effect M3 is executed as the previous suggestion effect, the corresponding third roulette notice effect R3 is executed as the roulette notice effect, When the 4-related effect M4 is executed, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the symbol display device 17 so that the fourth roulette notice effect R4 corresponding to the roulette notice effect is executed (see FIG. 17). . In other words, the previous suggestion effect includes a plurality of different types of options suggested in the related effects as the specific notice suggestion effects including the related effects suggesting the mode (number and display mode) of the options in the roulette notification effect that is the specific notice effect. The type is set. Then, the effect control CPU 65a as the effect control means executes the specific notice suggestion effect on the symbol display device 17 (displayed on the display unit 17a), and then has an option in the form suggested by the related effect of the specific notice suggestion effect. The displayed type of roulette notice effect is configured to be executed (displayed on the display unit 17a) by the symbol display device 17.

  In each of the specific notice suggestion effects N1, N2, N3, and N4, at the time of transition from the execution effect to the related effects M1, M2, M3, and M4, the player thinks how many pieces are stuck on the display unit 17a. The transition period (for example, 4 seconds) to be obtained is set, and the transition period can enhance expectation for the related effects M1, M2, M3, and M4.

  Next, the transition process from the related effect to the roulette notice effect will be described with reference to FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the first related effect M1 in which eight pieces of glass stick to the display unit 17a is executed, the process proceeds to the first roulette notice effect R1, and 8 is displayed on the display unit 17a. Eight display areas 74 are displayed corresponding to the pieces of glass pieces, and each display area 74 displays options according to the determined type of effect pattern. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the second related effect M2 in which four pieces of glass stick to the display unit 17a is executed, the process proceeds to the second roulette notice effect R2, and the display unit 17a Four display areas 74 are displayed corresponding to the four pieces of glass, and options corresponding to the determined type of effect pattern are displayed in each display area 74. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the third related effect M3 in which two pieces of glass stick to the display unit 17a is executed, the process proceeds to the third roulette notice effect R3, and the display unit 17a Two display areas 74 are displayed corresponding to the two pieces of glass, and options corresponding to the determined type of effect pattern are displayed in each display area 74. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12D, when the fourth related effect M4 in which one piece of glass sticks to the display unit 17a is executed, the process proceeds to the fourth roulette notice effect R4, and 1 is displayed on the display unit 17a. One display area 74 is displayed corresponding to a piece of glass piece, and options corresponding to the determined type of effect pattern are displayed in the display area 74. In the embodiment, the glass fragments (specific display mode) displayed in the related effects M1 to M4 suggest the display mode (display area mode) of the options in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4, and the fragments (specifical display mode). Depending on the number of display modes, both the number of options (display areas) displayed in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are suggested.

(Specific indication non-execution suggestion effect)
The specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is an suggestion effect that suggests (notifies) that the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are not executed, and the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is executed, so that the roulette notice effects R1 to R1 are executed. The player can recognize that R4 is not executed. In the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect, the non-execution effect in which the glass is broken into pieces is executed as the post-production, and the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R1 to R1 by the non-execution effect in which the glass is broken into pieces. Configured to suggest that R4 is not executed. When the specific notice non-execution suggesting effect is executed, the effect control CPU 65a controls the symbol display device 17 so that the symbol display device 17 does not execute the roulette notice effects R1 to R4. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, as described above, a non-roulette notice effect pattern for ending the symbol change effect without executing the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 is set. The specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is specified as the pre-execution suggestion effect to be executed, and after the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is executed, the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are not executed and the per-special drawing or the special figure is off. It is set so that the symbol combination of the decorative drawing to be stopped is displayed (the symbol variation effect ends).

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described. In addition, the normal deviation effect pattern D1 to the second full rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14 shown in FIG. 9 may be simply referred to as effect pattern D1 to effect pattern D14 in the following description.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a, as an opportunity to specify the contents of the effect of the design variation effect, is one of the effect patterns D2 to D14 triggered by winning the start winning opening 30, 31. 10, the same decorative figure is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 after a predetermined time from the start of the variation of the symbol variation effect, as shown in FIG. Reach display is displayed. In the reach display state, the display unit 17a starts the previous suggestion effect at the previous suggestion effect execution timing K2. During the execution of the previous suggestion effect, the decoration drawing is reduced and displayed at a position that does not overlap with the previous suggestion effect on the display unit 17a, and the previous suggestion effect is greatly displayed in the center of the display unit 17a to attract the player's attention. To get.

  In the previous suggestion effect, a boxer displayed on the display unit 17a performs an operation of turning the screen of the display unit 17a, and an effect is performed before the screen (glass) is cracked. After that, an effect is performed after the screen (glass) breaks. When a non-roulette notice effect pattern in which the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R1 to R4 is not executed is determined, a non-execution effect that the glass is shattered and scattered in the subsequent effect is executed. It is suggested (notified) that the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R1 to R4 is not executed. On the other hand, when the effect pattern in which the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R1 to R4 is executed is determined, an execution effect is performed in which the glass is not scattered in the subsequent effect and is separated into a plurality of pieces. The execution effect suggests (informs) that the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R1 to R4 is executed to the player. That is, since the type of the post effect suggests whether or not the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the type of the post effect executed in the reach display state. Can improve. As described above, in the embodiment, after the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed, it is set so that there is a possibility of transition to the super reach effect. It can be said that it is suggested whether or not, and the player's interest in the type of post-production performed in the reach display state can be further increased, and the interest can be improved.

  When an effect pattern in which the first roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R1 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the subsequent effect, the first piece in which eight pieces stick to each other. The related effect M1 (see FIG. 12A) is executed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a displays eight display areas 74 corresponding to the number of pieces on the display unit 17a, and displays the options specified by the type of the decided effect pattern in each display area 74. The first roulette notice effect R1 to be executed is executed by the symbol display device 17. Further, in the first roulette notice effect R1, the effect that the indicator CU sequentially moves in the clockwise direction is repeated, and the indicator CU is stopped and displayed in the display area 74 in which a predetermined option is displayed. The player is notified which option (display area 74) has been determined. That is, when the indicator CU is stopped and displayed at any one of “super development”, “butterfly pattern appearance”, “super hot”, and “chance”, the type of super reach production at the development destination is notified. In addition, when an effect pattern in which the second roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R2 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the subsequent effect, four pieces of pieces stick to each other. 2 related effect M2 (refer FIG.12 (b)) is performed. The effect control CPU 65a displays four display areas 74 corresponding to the number of pieces on the display unit 17a, and displays the options specified by the type of the decided effect pattern in each display area 74. The symbol display device 17 executes the second roulette notice effect R2 to be performed. In the second roulette notice effect R2, as in the first roulette notice effect R1, an effect in which the index CU moves sequentially in the clockwise direction is repeated, and the index CU is displayed in the display area 74 in which a predetermined option is displayed. The player is notified of which option (display area 74) has been determined by the stop display. That is, when the indicator CU is stopped and displayed at any one of “super development”, “butterfly pattern appearance”, “super hot”, and “chance”, the type of super reach production at the development destination is notified. It should be noted that if the index CU is stopped and displayed as “?” Or “×” in the first roulette notice effect R1 and the second roulette notice effect R2, it is suggested that the super reach effect is not developed.

  In addition, when an effect pattern in which the third roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R3 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the subsequent effect, two pieces of pieces stick to each other. 3-related effect M3 (refer FIG.12 (c)) is performed. The effect control CPU 65a displays two display areas 74 corresponding to the number of pieces on the display unit 17a, and displays the options specified by the type of the determined effect pattern in each display area 74. The symbol display device 17 executes the third roulette notice effect R3. In the third roulette notice effect R3, an effect in which the index CU alternately moves in the two display areas 74 is repeated, and the index CU is stopped and displayed in the display area 74 in which a predetermined option is displayed. The player is notified which option (display area 74) has been determined. In other words, when the indicator CU is stopped and displayed in any of “super development”, “appearance of butterfly pattern”, and “super hot”, the type of super reach production at the development destination is notified, and the indicator CU is “full rotation”. If it is stopped and displayed, the big hit confirmation is notified. Furthermore, when an effect pattern in which the fourth roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) R4 is executed is determined as an effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the subsequent effect, a piece of one piece is stuck. 4-related effect R4 (refer FIG.12 (d)) is performed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a displays one display area 74 corresponding to the number of pieces on the display unit 17a, and displays the options specified by the type of effect pattern determined in the display area 74. The symbol display device 17 executes the fourth roulette notice effect R4. The fourth roulette notice effect R4 is a form in which only one display area 74 is displayed. By displaying options in the display area 74, the player can determine the type of super-reach effect at the development destination or the jackpot decision. To be notified.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, before the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed, the specific notice suggestion effects N1 to N4 that suggest the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed. The relevance of a plurality of effects can be increased, and the player's interest in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 can be increased, and the interest can be improved. In addition, the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 is related to the level of expectation that the jackpot display is displayed in the symbol variation effect in which the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed. Interest can be further enhanced by attracting interest in the number of options suggested in the notice suggestion effects N1 to N4.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, not only the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 but also the form (debris) of the display area 74 in which the options are displayed are specified notice suggestion effects R1 to R4. Therefore, it is possible to clarify the relationship between the specific notice suggestion effects N1 to N4 and the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 executed thereafter, and the player for the roulette notice effects R1 to R4. Can further increase interest.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the previous suggestion effect, the specific notice suggestion effect in which the execution effect suggesting that the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed and the roulette notice effect R1 to R4 are executed. Any one of the specific notice non-execution suggestion effects in which the non-execution effect suggesting that it is not performed is executed is executed. And since this execution effect is performed prior to the related effects M1 to M4 suggesting the number of options and the display form in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4, the interest in the related effects M1 to M4 can be increased and the interest can be improved. . That is, the related effects M1 to M4 and the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are not started suddenly, but by performing the predictive effects in advance, the interest in the subsequent effects can be increased and the interest can be improved. it can.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the options displayed in the display area 74 in the display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 in the first to third roulette notice effects R1 to R3. Is expected to be indicated by the number of display of the star-shaped expectation display 75 in the expectation display effect, so that when each option is determined, the level of the jackpot expectation is easy to understand, which option Can increase the player's interest in what is determined. That is, it is difficult for a player who is not familiar with the pachinko machine 10 simply to display the options with simple symbols, characters, etc., but the star-like expectation level display 75 as in the embodiment is difficult. If the big hit expectation level is suggested by the small number of displays, even a player who is not familiar with the pachinko machine 10 can easily recognize the level of the big hit expectation level, and the first to third roulette notice effects The interest of which option is determined in R1 to R3 can be raised and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, in the embodiment, the expectation level display 75 of the expectation level display effect is displayed separately from the display of the option. You can clearly recognize the difference in expectations. That is, it is possible to enjoy which choice is determined in the first to third roulette notice effects R1 to R3 with a clear recognition of the difference in expectation of a plurality of choices, which can improve the interest. .

  Here, also in the fourth roulette notice effect R4, when options are displayed in one display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17a, the first to third roulette notice effects R1 to R3 are executed. The number of expectation level indications 75 corresponding to the choices in the case is displayed. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the fourth roulette notice effect R4 is set as a premium effect that confirms the big hit, and therefore, excluding “full rotation” of the big hit decision that can be displayed in the fourth roulette notice effect R4 2 Regardless of the type of choice ("Butterfly Appearance", "Super Hot") is displayed, although the jackpot display is displayed in the symbol variation effect, the expectation display 75 is displayed depending on the type of displayed option Different numbers can prevent the player from realizing that the jackpot has been finalized. In other words, until the big hit display is confirmed, it is possible to attract interest in whether or not to win the big hit and improve the interest.

(Example of change)
The gaming machine is not limited to that described above, and various modifications can be made.
(1) In the embodiment, in the related effects, the number of options and the display form in the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) are suggested, but only one of them may be suggested. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the number of options in the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) is displayed with specific numbers (“8”, “4”, “2”, “1”) in the related effect. In addition, if the shape of the display area in which the options are displayed in the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) is a star shape, a round shape, or other shapes, the corresponding shape display may be displayed in the related effect. Good.
(2) In the embodiment, as the pre-suggesting effect, the effect of breaking the glass is used. However, as long as the number of options and the display form in the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) can be suggested, other effect forms can be used. There may be.
(3) In the embodiment, in the post-prediction effect, one of the two types of the effect (execution effect) when the roulette notice effect is executed (execution effect) and the effect when it is not executed (non-execution effect) is executed. Although configured as described above, an effect (high expectation degree effect) in which a roulette notice effect of a type with a higher expectation level of jackpot is determined may be executed. For example, the first and second roulette notice effects are set as low expectation roulette notice effects (low expectation specific notice effects), and the third and fourth roulette notice effects are designated as high expectation roulette notice effects (high expectation specification). When the high expectation effect that the entire display unit changes to red is executed in the execution effect, the high expectation roulette notice effect (either the third or the fourth roulette notice effect) If a low expectation effect is performed in which the entire display unit changes to a color other than red, a low expectation roulette notice effect (first) is executed as the roulette notice effect. Alternatively, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which any one of the second roulette notice effects is performed.
(4) In the embodiment, the case where the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect) is small is the case where the big hit expectation is high. However, the number of choices becomes high when the big hit expectation is high. It may be set as follows.
(5) In the embodiment, depending on the options displayed in the roulette notice effect (specific notice effect), the type of the super reach effect (development effect) and the jackpot expectation degree in which the jackpot display (winning display) is displayed in the symbol variation effect ( (Expectation degree) is suggested, but the type displayed in the roulette notice effect may indicate either the type of the super reach effect or the jackpot expectation. In addition, if it is the structure which suggests only the big hit expectation degree by the option displayed by the roulette notice effect, the kind of super reach effect may be one type, and it is a roulette even when it develops to the same super reach effect. It is possible to suggest a different degree of jackpot expectation depending on the choice of the notice effect. In addition, in a structure with multiple types of super reach production, it does not develop into a type of super reach production according to the options determined in the roulette notice production, but develops into a type of super reach production decided by lottery. It may be.

(6) In the embodiment, the expectation degree display effect is displayed by the number of star-shaped displays. However, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which the display is performed according to the size of the display area (area) in which options are displayed. In other words, while displaying options with a high jackpot expectation level in a display area with a large area, displaying options with a low jackpot expectation level in a display area with a small area may indicate the level of expectation of the jackpot expectation at a glance. it can. In addition, when configured to display the same option in multiple display areas, the level of big hit expectation is suggested by the size of the total area of the display area where the same option is displayed, or the same option is displayed. Depending on the number, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be suggested. Furthermore, the expectation degree display effect can be expressed by the display color of the display area displayed in the option, and the level of big hit expectation can be suggested by the difference in the display color. For example, the big hit expectation is set to increase in the order of white, blue, yellow, green and red, and the display color of the display area is changed to the display color corresponding to the big hit expectation of the options displayed in the display area. That's fine.
(7) In the embodiment, the option and the expectation level display effect (the number of star-shaped display) are displayed separately. However, as described in (6) above, the level of the big hit expectation is indicated by the display color. The big hit expectation degree may be suggested by a difference in display color representing the choice itself.
(8) The types of roulette notice effects and the types and numbers of options displayed in the roulette notice effects shown in the embodiments are examples, and the kinds and numbers can be arbitrarily set.

(9) In the roulette notice effect of the embodiment, the display area corresponding to the type of the super reach effect (development effect) determined by the internal lottery is indicated by an index, but the roulette notice effect is combined with the button notice effect. You may comprise. The button notice effect is displayed on the display unit of the symbol display device by displaying a character string such as “PSUH” indicating that the operation button provided in the pachinko machine is imitated and pressing the button. An effect that prompts the user to press the operation button is performed. Then, in accordance with the execution timing of the roulette notice effect, the effect control CPU sets an effective period for receiving the operation button pressing signal, and receives the pressing signal output when the operation button is pressed during the effective period. Configure as follows. Then, the effect control CPU (effect control means) is determined by the internal lottery after performing the effect of reducing the speed of the index moving in the display area triggered by the input of the press signal from the operation button during the effective period. The player is made to recognize the type of the super reach effect (development effect) determined by stopping and displaying the indicator in the display area corresponding to the type of the super reach effect (development effect). In this way, by combining the roulette notice effect and the button notice effect, the player can participate in the game and the interest can be improved.

(10) In the embodiment, the first roulette notice effect and the second roulette notice effect are not executed in the full rotation reach jackpot effect pattern, but the first roulette notice effect is also extremely low in the full rotation reach hit effect pattern. And the second roulette notice effect can be executed. In this way, by displaying the options for which the all-reach reach jackpot effect may be executed in all types of roulette notice effects, the configuration in which the number of options is smaller as in the embodiment, the higher the expectation of the jackpot When “Full rotation” is selected in the roulette notice effect with many options with low expectation of jackpot, it is possible to give the player a very great surprise and premium feeling.
(11) In the embodiment, when the non-roulette notice effect pattern is selected as the effect pattern, the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is executed as the previous suggestion effect. When a decision is made using a random number and a judgment value, and it is decided not to execute, a specific preliminary announcement non-execution suggestion effect is executed as a previous suggestion effect. The specific notice execution suggestion effect according to the type of the roulette notice effect of the type determined as may be executed. For example, in the effect control CPU, when a control command for specifying each variation pattern is input, the notice effect is determined from a plurality of types of notice effects including the roulette notice effect, and the roulette notice effect is determined. It may be configured to execute the specific notice execution suggestion effect when it is performed and to execute the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect when another type of notice effect is determined. By configuring in this way, it is possible to continuously display the effect without changing the change time due to execution or non-execution of the roulette notice effect for the change pattern of the same change time. That is, it is not necessary to set a variation pattern with different variation times corresponding to the case where the roulette notice effect is performed and the case where it is not performed, which can contribute to the reduction of the capacity of the main control ROM (storage means). It is also possible to set a fluctuation pattern of fluctuation time that specifies execution of the roulette notice effect and a fluctuation pattern of fluctuation time that specifies that the roulette notice effect is not executed. In this configuration, the main control ROM (memory Although the capacity of the means) is increased, the control process in the effect control CPU can be omitted.

(12) In the embodiment, the timing at which the previous suggestion effect and the roulette notice effect are executed is described as being common to each variation pattern, but a plurality of the previous suggestion effect execution timing and the roulette notice effect execution timing are set, A configuration may be adopted in which execution timing is determined from a plurality of types by execution timing lottery using random numbers and determination values. In addition, the types of roulette notice effects that can be executed (R1 to R4) can be made different or the determination probabilities can be made different at a plurality of types of roulette notice effect execution timings. In this way, even when the timing at which the roulette notice effect is executed is different, the type of roulette notice effect to be executed is random. A variety of performances can be performed with the suppression of the above.
(13) Further, the timing at which the previous suggestion effect and the roulette notice effect are executed may be set for each variation pattern instead of the configuration determined by lottery. In this case, the execution timing lottery may be selected. This processing can be omitted.
(14) In the embodiment, in the lottery for the type of the roulette notice effect, the probability of determining the type of the roulette notice effect in which the number of options differs depending on the type of the variation pattern (expectation level) is different. The determination probability of the roulette notice effect may be the same. That is, even when the decision probability of each roulette notice effect is the same, the big hit expectation of each type of roulette notice effect depends on the expectation of the variation pattern. Can be made.
(15) In the embodiment, in the lottery notice effect type lottery, the probability of determining the type of roulette notice effect with different number of options depending on the type of fluctuation pattern (high or low expectation) is configured. The determination probability of each type of roulette notice effect may be changed according to the type of game (win game) (type of special figure). For example, if you win a jackpot game that is advantageous to the player who gives you a promiscuous state or a variable state after a big hit game, you can easily determine the type of roulette notice effect with few (or many) choices, and the promiscuous state When a big hit game that is not given after a big hit game is won, or vice versa, a configuration that makes it easier to determine the type of roulette notice effect with many (or few) types of options can be adopted.

(16) All or part of the functions provided in the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided in the sub-control means (production control CPU). Conversely, all or part of the functions provided in the sub-control means is provided. The main control means may be provided. In each embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (effect control board) are separately provided. However, a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the main control means and the sub control means may be provided in a control means (CPU) provided on a single control board. Further, a separate control board may be provided, and all or a part of the functions of the main control means and sub-control means of each embodiment may be provided in another control means.
(17) The display control means (display control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions of the effect control means (effect control CPU). The effect control means (effect control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the provided functions. The production control means (production control CPU) and the display control board (display control CPU) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the effect control board and the display control board may be shared by control means (CPU) provided on a single control board. Similarly, the production control means can also be used for the light emission control means for performing light emission control and the sound control means for performing sound output control.
(18) Although the special symbol display means (special symbol display unit) for displaying the special figure is provided independently of the symbol display means (design symbol display device) for displaying the symbol (decoration diagram) for production, It is not limited to this. For example, you may make it display both a decoration drawing and a special figure in a symbol display means. Moreover, you may make it display on a symbol display means in common with a decorative drawing and a special drawing.
