  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Among pachinko machines, pachinko machines are designed to improve the fun by devising the production. For example, in a pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, a reach variation operation (a so-called reach effect) is performed after a pseudo-continuous notice effect operation (a so-called pseudo-continuous effect or an effect referred to as a pseudo-ream) is executed. Is done.

JP 2004-130004 A

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine that performs the pseudo continuous notice effect operation as in Patent Document 1, the notice effect action (fluctuation cycle) is simply repeated in the pseudo continuous notice effect operation, and it is not interesting.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving interest.

  A gaming machine that solves the above-described problems can execute a special symbol variation game, can execute an effect symbol variation game that is performed using the effect symbol, and can execute a pseudo-continuous effect. Specific effect control means for controlling the execution of and reach effect control means for controlling the execution of the reach effect, the pseudo-continuous effect is configured to include a plurality of variable cycles in which the specific effect is executed, In one special symbol variation game, the specific effect is executed before the reach effect, and when the number of variable cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is equal to or greater than a specific number, the specific effect is executed in a variable cycle after the specific number of times. The specific production effect system is different from the specific production production system executed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific fluctuation cycle. It is the gist of.

  For the gaming machine, the specific effect production system executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous production is the specific production effect executed in the variation cycle before the specific number of variation cycles. There may be fewer types compared to the production system.

  About the gaming machine, provided with a notice effect control means for controlling the execution of the notice effect, the notice effect has a plurality of types, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous effect, You may make it a part or all differ from the kind of notification effect performed in the change cycle before the said specific times.

  The gaming machine includes a notice effect control means for controlling execution of the notice effect, the notice effect has a plurality of types, and the specific effect is a variable cycle when one special symbol variable game is executed. Even if the number of times is 1, it can be executed in the fluctuation cycle, and the type of the notice effect that is executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous production is executed by one special symbol fluctuation game. When the number of the fluctuation cycles is one, the type of the notice effect executed when the specific effect is not executed in the change cycle may be partially or entirely different.

  For the above gaming machine, an effect that cannot be executed in a variation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production becomes executable in a variation cycle after the specific number of times, so that the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous production The specific effect production system executed in the subsequent fluctuation cycle may be different from the specific production production system executed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of times.

  According to this invention, the interest can be improved.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes game components such as nails (game nails) and windmills for changing the behavior of game balls flowing down the game area 21.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states with different jackpot probabilities. The big hit probability is a probability of winning a big hit in the internal lottery (big hit lottery). The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the low probability state. In the high probability state, the possibility of winning a big hit is increased as compared to the low probability state, so that the gaming state is advantageous to the player. The high probability state is a so-called “probability variation state (probability variation state)”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls fired is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that a game ball enters the second start port 27 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is a so-called “electric support state”, and the low base state is a so-called “non-power support state”. In the high base state, since the probability that the game ball enters the second start port 27 is increased, the game state is advantageous to the player.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls described below, or by combining a plurality of controls. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control in which the variation time of the normal game is shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is probability variation control of a normal symbol in which the probability of winning the normal winning lottery (ordinary winning probability) is changed with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is open time extension control in which the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal game is longer than that in the low base state. As the opening time extension control, the number of times the first variable member 28 is released in one normal hit game is larger than that in the low base state, and the first variable member 28 is once in the normal hit game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of the battery longer than that in the low base state. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time (for example, average variation time) of the special game shorter than that in the low base state. When the special symbol variation time reduction control is performed, the high base state is a so-called “variation time reduction state”.

  In the present embodiment, since the first variable member 28 may be in an open state even in the low base state, there is a possibility that a game ball may enter the second start port 27 even in the low base state. There is. However, when it is in the low base state, for example, it is configured not to win the normal winning lottery. For example, when in the low base state, the first variable member 28 is not opened, and the second start port 27 is played. You may comprise so that a ball may not enter. In addition, in the low base state, for example, the first variable member 28 is configured not to be opened even if the normal winning lottery is won, so that the game ball does not enter the second start port 27. You may comprise. When configured as described above, the low base state is a state in which a game ball cannot enter the second start port 27, and the high base state is a state in which a game ball can enter the second start port 27. I can say that.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the gaming state (type of gaming state) includes a gaming state that is a low probability state and a low base state, and a gaming state that is a low probability state and a high base state. There are a gaming state that is a high probability state and a low base state, and a gaming state that is a high probability state and a high base state. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, it is controlled to one gaming state among a plurality of types of gaming states.

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as special symbol jackpot symbols. The plurality of types of jackpot symbols are classified into a first jackpot symbol and a second jackpot symbol. The types of jackpots are determined for each type of jackpot symbol, and there are multiple types of jackpots. A plurality of types of jackpot symbols may have a gaming state after the jackpot game ends.

  In the big hit game, first, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the big hit game, a round game in which the big prize opening 29 is opened after the opening effect is finished. A round game is played with a predetermined upper limit number of times as an upper limit. In one round game, the grand prize opening 29 is until the first end condition for entering a predetermined upper limit number of game balls or the second end condition for elapse of a predetermined upper limit time is satisfied. Opened. In the round game, a round effect is performed. In the big hit game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending effect.

  The maximum number of round games (for example, 10 times) is determined for the jackpot symbol classified as the first jackpot symbol and the jackpot symbol classified as the second jackpot symbol. In the jackpot symbol classified as the first jackpot symbol, as a gaming state after the jackpot game is over, a high probability state until the next jackpot game is awarded, and until the next jackpot game is awarded. And a high base state between. On the other hand, for the jackpot symbol classified as the second jackpot symbol, a low probability state and a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 100 times) special games are terminated as game states to be given after the jackpot game ends. Or a high base state until a big hit game is awarded before the upper limit number of special games is finished.

  In the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of whether or not a high probability state is given, the advantage is a relationship of “second big hit symbol <first big hit symbol”. From the viewpoint of whether the number of special games to which the high base state is given is large or small, the advantage is a relationship of “second big hit symbol <first big hit symbol”. Therefore, the first big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that is more advantageous than the second big hit symbol because the number of special games to which the high base state is given is large and the high probability state is given. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol classified as the first jackpot symbol is referred to as “first jackpot game”, and the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol classified as the second jackpot symbol is referred to as “second jackpot game”. The type of jackpot corresponding to the first jackpot game is indicated as “first jackpot”, and the type of jackpot corresponding to the second jackpot game is indicated as “second jackpot”.

  In addition, in the display effects that can be executed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment, effects symbols (hereinafter referred to as effect symbols) are variably displayed in a plurality of columns, and finally the combinations of effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state. There is an effect design variation game (hereinafter referred to as an effect game). As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute an effect symbol variation game performed using an effect symbol. The effect game can also be said to be an effect symbol variation game using effect symbols. The effect design is a design provided with decorations such as characters and patterns, and is used to diversify display effects, and is also referred to as “decoration design” or “decoration design”. In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by changing and displaying the first, second, and third rows of symbol rows in a vertical direction (scroll display). The effect design in the first row is the so-called first design, the effect design in the second row is the so-called second design, and the effect design in the third row is the so-called third design. In the following description, “first column” is indicated as “left column”, “first symbol” is indicated as “left symbol”, “second column” is indicated as “middle column” and “second symbol” is indicated. “Middle symbol” is indicated, “third column” is indicated as “right column”, and “third symbol” is indicated as “right symbol”. In each embodiment of the present embodiment, as a general rule, effect symbols simulating numbers [1] to [8] are variably displayed in a predetermined order.

  The production game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game, and is ended with the end of the special game. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect symbol variation game during the execution of the special symbol variation game. In the effect game, a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the special game is confirmed and stopped. When the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the special game, the big hit symbol based on the effect symbol is confirmed and stopped in the effect game. For example, the jackpot symbol based on the effect symbol is a symbol combination in which the effect symbols in all rows are the same, such as “777”. For example, when the first jackpot game is awarded after the end of the special game, the symbol combinations (for example, [777]) in which the effect symbols of all the rows are the same odd number of effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop manner. May be. On the other hand, when the second jackpot game is awarded after the end of the special game, the symbol combinations (for example, [222]) in which the effect symbols of all the rows are the same even number of effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop manner. May be.

  In the special game, when the lost symbol is confirmed and stopped, the lost symbol based on the rendered symbol is confirmed and stopped in the effect game. For example, the out-of-line design symbol is a combination of symbols such as “323”, “556”, [426], etc., in which the design symbol of at least some of the columns is different from that of the other columns. In the effect game of the present embodiment, the effect symbol is temporarily stopped before the effect symbol is displayed. In this specification, “temporary stop display” means a state indicating that there is a possibility that the symbol may be changed and displayed again, such as “sway fluctuation state”, or a state indicating that the symbol is different from the fixed stop display. ing.

  In the effect game, the reach effect is performed when the display mode of the effect symbol is the reach mode (when the reach is formed). In the reach mode, an effect design imitating the same number is temporarily displayed in a specific column (in this embodiment, the left column and the right column) among a plurality of columns, and a column (this book) different from the specific column is displayed. In the embodiment, the middle row) effect symbols are continuously displayed in a variable manner.

  For example, in the reach effect, there may be a plurality of types of reach effects in which the characters to appear and the actions of the effect symbols are different. For example, the reach production includes a normal reach production and a super reach production performed after the start of the normal reach production. The super reach production is executed, for example, with contents that develop the production contents of the normal reach production. The reach production is executed during the execution of the special game.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.

The main board 40 performs various processes and outputs control information such as control signals (control commands) according to the results of the processes. The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a sub board 41 as a sub control unit. The sub board 41 performs a predetermined process based on the control information output from the main board 40. For example, the sub-board 41 performs processing for executing a light emission effect by the decoration lamp 17, a sound effect by the speaker 18, and a display effect by the effect display device 25.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the main board 40 and the sub board 41 are disposed on the back side of the game board 20. The game board unit in the present embodiment includes a main board 40 and a sub board 41. The game board unit is fixed to the middle frame 13. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it can be said that the main board 40 and the sub board 41 are disposed inside the machine. The main board 40 is connected to the sub board 41.

A plurality of types of variation patterns are associated with variation times from the start of the special game to the end of the special game. That is, the variation time of the special game is associated with the variation pattern. Therefore, it can be said that the variation pattern is information that can specify the variation time of the special game. The variation pattern may be information capable of specifying a part or all of the effect contents of the effect game performed between the start of the special game and the end of the special game. The variation patterns include, for example, a big hit variation pattern and an outlier variation pattern.

Next, the sub-board 41 will be described.
The sub board 41 is connected to the main board 40 as described above. The sub-board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a, a sub-control ROM 41b, and a sub-control RAM 41c. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a performs various processes (for example, processes related to effects) by executing a control program (sub-control program) of the sub-control CPU 41a. The sub-control ROM 41b stores a sub-control program, a lottery table and determination values used for lottery. The sub-control ROM 41b stores display effect data that can specify the mode (contents) of the display effect in the effect display device 25. The sub-control ROM 41b stores light-emitting effect data that can specify the mode (contents) of the light-emitting effect in the decorative lamp 17. The sub-control ROM 41b stores sound effect data that can specify the mode (contents) of the sound effect in the speaker 18.

  The sub-control RAM 41c is configured to be able to store various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Examples of information stored in the sub control RAM 41c include a flag, a counter, and a timer. The sub board 41 is configured to generate a random number. For example, the random number may be generated as a hardware random number by mounting a random number generation circuit that updates the value of the random number every predetermined cycle on the sub-board 41, and the sub-control CPU 41a generates the random number every predetermined control cycle. It may be generated as a software random number by updating the value of.

  The decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 are connected to the sub-board 41. The sub-control CPU 41a can control the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 via a drive circuit (not shown). An operation button BT is connected to the sub board 41. The sub-control CPU 41a is configured to be able to input a detection signal that is output when the operation button BT is operated by lending a port (not shown).

  Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 and the sub control CPU 41a of the sub board 41 will be described. First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 based on the control program will be described.

First, a special symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 26 based on whether or not a detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input (hereinafter referred to as a first input determination). ). When the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). (Hereinafter referred to as first hold determination).

  If the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first special hold number and updates it. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated first special hold number. The main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer control information (hereinafter referred to as a first hold number command) that can specify the updated first special hold number. Note that the control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the subsequent interrupt processing. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40 and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information so that it can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, so that the execution is suspended until the execution condition for the first special game is satisfied. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can hold the execution of the first special game. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. For example, the random number is a random number used for the big hit lottery, a random number used for determining the big hit symbol, a random number used for determining the variation pattern, or the like.

  In addition, after the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second start port is based on whether the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input. It is determined whether a game ball has entered 27 (hereinafter referred to as second input determination). When the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs the second input determination. Similarly, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs the second input determination. When the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). Determine (hereinafter referred to as second hold determination). When the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second special hold number and updates it. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated second special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a second hold number command) that can specify the updated second special hold number in the output buffer. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c, The special symbol input process is terminated. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the second special game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, random number information for the second special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, so that the execution is suspended until the execution condition for the second special game is satisfied. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can hold the execution of the second special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to hold the execution of the special game.

Next, a special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a special game execution condition is satisfied (hereinafter, referred to as an execution determination). In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the jackpot game is not being played and the special game is not being played, while the negative determination is made when the jackpot game or the special game is being played. When the determination result of the execution determination is negative (when the execution condition for the special game is not satisfied), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the special game execution condition is satisfied), the main control CPU 40a has the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c being 1 or more. Determine whether. When the second special hold number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs the second special symbol start process related to the execution of the second special game, and then ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the second special hold number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. When the first special hold number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special hold number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs the first special symbol start process related to the execution of the first special game, and then ends the special symbol start process.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting one. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a first hold number command that can specify the updated first special hold number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game from the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a reads the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the jackpot based on the read random number information and the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a big hit lottery (big hit determination) of whether or not the big hit. For example, the determination of whether or not to win the jackpot may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information matches the jackpot determination value. For example, whether or not to win a jackpot may be determined based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  After the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the first special game and a variation pattern of the first special game. Specifically, when the big hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the big hit symbol and the big hit fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, when the big hit is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines a loss symbol and a shift variation pattern. For example, when the big win is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs a reach lottery, determines a variation pattern with a deviation reach when the reach lottery is won, and changes without a reach when the reach lottery is not won. The pattern may be determined. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer control information (hereinafter referred to as symbol command) that can identify the determined special symbol and control information (hereinafter referred to as variation pattern designation command) that can identify the variation pattern. Then, the first special symbol start process is terminated.

  In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a updates the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting one. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a second hold number command that can specify the updated second special hold number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a reads the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the jackpot based on the read random number information and the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a big hit lottery (big hit determination) of whether or not the big hit.

  After the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the second special game and a variation pattern of the second special game. Specifically, when the big hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the big hit symbol and the big hit fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, when the big hit is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines a loss symbol and a shift variation pattern. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start process.

  When the special symbol start process is finished, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute a special game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is displayed in a fixed stop state when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. Further, when the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a game end command for causing the symbol combination based on the effect symbol to be confirmed and stopped.

Next, a prize ball process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Similarly, when the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the count sensor SE3 is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the first general sensor SE5 is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Similarly, when the detection signal from the second general sensor SE6 is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls to be paid out when a game ball enters the general winning ports 32 and 33 is the number of game balls to be paid out when the game ball enters the start ports 26 and 27. More than. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls to be paid out when a game ball enters the general winning ports 32 and 33 is based on the number of game balls to be paid out when a game ball enters the big winning port 29. There are few.

Next, the jackpot process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 40a specifies the type of the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 40a starts control for giving the specified jackpot game after the end of the jackpot special game. Therefore, the main control CPU 40a gives a big hit game by executing the big hit processing. In this manner, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big hit game is awarded after winning the big hit.

  When the big hit special game ends, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. When the opening control command is stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a measures the opening time. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 to open the big winning opening 29 according to the release mode (open pattern) set to the big hit game, and starts the round game. When the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied after starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the big winning opening 29 is closed, and ends the round game. . The main control CPU 40a repeats the process for executing the round game until the upper limit number of round games determined in the jackpot game is completed. The main control CPU 40a stores a round command in the output buffer every time a round game is started.

  The main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer when the final round game is completed. Further, when the ending command is stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a measures the ending time. Then, when the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a ends the jackpot game.

Next, game state processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit symbol (that is, the type of the big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. When the main control CPU 40a specifies the provision of the low probability state, the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c is a value that can be specified to control the low probability state when the jackpot game is ended. Set to. When the main control CPU 40a specifies the provision of the high probability state, the main control CPU 40a sets, in the probability state flag, a value that can be specified to control the high probability state when the jackpot game is ended.

  When the high control state is specified, the main control CPU 40a sets, in the base state flag, a value that can be specified to control the high control state when the big hit game is finished. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a high base state command) that can specify the high base state in the output buffer. When the main control CPU 40a specifies the provision of the high base state in which the upper limit number is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores the number of times corresponding to the upper limit number in the main control RAM 40c as the remaining number of times of the special game to which the high base state is provided.

  Each time the special game is executed, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the remaining number of times stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the remaining number of times becomes zero, the main control CPU 40a sets, in the base state flag, a value that can be specified to control the low base state as the special game with the remaining number of times zero ends. That is, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a low base state command) that can specify the low base state in the output buffer.

  Incidentally, when a big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled to a low probability state in the probability state flag and a value that can be specified to be controlled to a low base state. Set to base state flag. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, the normal symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 31 based on whether a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 31, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal holdings stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). . When the number of normal holdings is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. When the number of normal holdings is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal holding number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding 1. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated number of normal holdings. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a normal hold count command) that can specify the updated normal hold count in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the normal game and the storage order of the random number information so that it can be specified. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a normal game execution condition is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the normal hit game is not being played and the normal game is not being played, while a negative determination is made when the normal hit game is being played or the normal game is being played. When the normal game execution condition is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal holds stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. When the number of normal holdings is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the number of normal hold is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting one. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of normal holdings is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a normal hold number command that can specify the updated normal hold number.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the normal game from the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a reads the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the normal hit based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a normal lottery (ordinary hit determination) of whether or not the normal hit. For example, in the case of adopting the above-described normal symbol probability variation control, the main control CPU 40a performs normal hits so that the probability of winning in normal hits is higher in the high base state than in the low base state. It is better to determine whether or not to win.

  In the case of winning the normal hit, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal hit symbol to be displayed with a fixed stop in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game. For example, when adopting the normal symbol variation time reduction control, the main control CPU 40a determines the first variation time in the low base state, and sets the second variation time shorter than the first variation time in the high base state. It is good to decide. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a starts the normal game, and when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start process has elapsed, the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is fixedly stopped and displayed. The information display panel 22 is controlled. The main control CPU 40a stores control information that can specify that the execution of the normal game is started in the output buffer in accordance with the start of the execution of the normal game.

Next, the normal hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the normal winning is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game ends, and opens the second starting port 27 according to the determined opening pattern. The first actuator A1 is controlled. For example, when the above-described opening time extension control is adopted, the main control CPU 40a selects the first opening pattern in the low base state, and plays one normal hit game in the high base state rather than the first opening pattern. It is preferable to determine the second opening pattern in which the total opening time of the first variable member 28 is long.

  In this embodiment, it is easier to win a normal hit when in the high base state than in the low base state. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to win a normal hit even when in a low base state, and the first variable member 28 is in an open state when the normal win lottery is won. . Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the base is in the low base state, the game ball is less likely to enter the second start port 27 than in the high base state, but to the second start port 27. There is a possibility that game balls will enter.

Next, various processes performed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
First, state processing performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.

  When the low base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low base state in the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. When the high base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the high base state in the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. By referring to the base state flag, the sub control CPU 41a can specify whether the state is the high base state (or the low base state).

  When the opening control command is input, the secondary control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify that the big hit game is being played in the big hit state flag stored in the secondary control RAM 41c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the variation pattern designation command after inputting the ending command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying that the big hit game is not in the big hit state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The secondary control CPU 41a can identify whether the big hit game is being played (or not being the big hit game) by referring to the big hit status flag stored in the secondary control RAM 41c.

Next, the big hit effect process performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the big hit effect is performed during the big hit game. Specifically, when the opening command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the opening effect is performed. In addition, when the round command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is performed. Further, when the ending command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed.

Next, the effect game process performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that an effect game as a general effect and an effect accompanying the effect game are performed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to execute the effect game when a symbol command and a variation pattern designation command are input. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination based on the effect symbol that is finally displayed in a definite stop in the effect game, based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. When the symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a jackpot symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a jackpot symbol combination based on the effect symbol. When the symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a missing symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the symbol combination of the missing symbol based on the effect symbol.

  When the reach condition is established, the sub-control CPU 41a may determine a symbol combination including a reach when performing a reach effect in the current effect game. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied when a variation pattern with loss reach is specified. The reach condition may be established when the sub-control CPU 41a performs the effect lottery and wins the effect lottery.

  In addition, when the change control designation command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect symbol is displayed in a variable manner. That is, the sub control CPU 41a starts the effect game. For this reason, it can be said that the variation pattern designation command is control information for instructing the start of the effect game based on the variation pattern. Based on the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a executes, for example, a decoration lamp 17 so that a predetermined effect such as a big hit announcement effect or a suggestion effect suggesting a gaming state is executed. At least one of the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 is controlled.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol at a predetermined timing. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the symbol combination based on the effect symbol to be confirmed and stopped when triggered by the input of the game end command. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may count a change time that can be specified from the change pattern regardless of the game end command, and display the symbol combination as a fixed stop when the change time elapses. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is configured to be able to execute a pseudo-continuous production. The pseudo-continuous production is divided into a plurality of unit periods (unit sections) from the start to the end of one special game, and various effects (for example, variation display of the production symbols) are executed in each unit section. To be done. The “unit section” in the present embodiment corresponds to a variable cycle, and the “pseudo continuous effect” in the present embodiment includes a plurality of variable cycles. The “unit section” can also be said to be an effect section or an effect cycle in which an effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the period (section) that becomes the variation cycle is a period (section) from when the variation display of the effect symbol is started until the effect symbol is temporarily stopped. As described above, in the pseudo-continuous production, the variation cycle including the variation display of the effect symbol and the temporary stop display is performed a plurality of times.

  In the present embodiment, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed, in a variation cycle other than the last time in the pseudo continuous effect (that is, a variation cycle in the middle), the off symbol due to the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. In addition, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed in the present embodiment, in the last change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the jackpot symbol combination by the effect symbol or the symbol combination by the effect symbol is temporarily displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is associated with a fluctuation pattern. FIG. 4 shows a total of nine types of variation patterns of variation patterns HP1 to HP9. The variation patterns HP1 to HP9 are some variation patterns among a plurality of types of variation patterns. The fluctuation patterns HP1 to HP5 are outlier fluctuation patterns. Among the variation patterns HP1 to HP5, the variation pattern HP1 is a variation pattern without outlier reach, and the variation patterns HP2 to HP5 are variation patterns with outlier reach. On the other hand, the fluctuation patterns HP6 to HP9 are big hit fluctuation patterns.

  The variation pattern HP1 is associated with one variation cycle. The variation pattern HP2 is associated with one variation cycle. The fluctuation pattern HP3 is associated with two fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP4 is associated with three fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP5 is associated with four fluctuation cycles. The variation pattern HP6 is associated with one variation cycle. The fluctuation pattern HP7 is associated with two fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP8 is associated with three fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP9 is associated with four fluctuation cycles.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a plurality of variation cycles are associated with the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 among the variation patterns HP1 to HP9. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a pseudo continuous effect is executed during the execution of the special game based on the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9. Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the maximum number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous performance is four.

  In the present embodiment, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed, the specific effect is executed in the variation cycle. That is, the pseudo continuous effect in the present embodiment is configured to include a plurality of variable cycles in which the specific effect is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the specific effect is executed before the reach effect in one special game. Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, an effect executed in a fluctuating cycle such as an effect of displaying a background image and an effect of outputting background music corresponds to a specific effect.

  As shown in FIG. 5, there are a plurality of types of production systems in the production system of the specific production executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10. Specifically, the production system of the specific production in this embodiment includes a land production system, a river production system, a sea production system, a sky production system, an earth production system, and a space production system.

  In addition, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is greater than or equal to the specific number, the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times is executed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles. It is different from the production system of specific production. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production (the fluctuation cycle before the second time). It differs from the production system of the specific production executed in

  Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the pseudo continuous production is executed, any one of the land production system, the river production system, the sea production system, and the sky production system is used in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production. A specific production of the production system is executed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the pseudo continuous production is executed, the specific production of any production system of the earth production system and the space production system is performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production. Is executed. In the present embodiment, the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect corresponds to the second variable cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect, and “twice” corresponds to the specific number of times.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the production system of the specific performance executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. There are few types compared to specific production systems. That is, the production system of the specific production executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous production is compared to the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number of times, There are few types. In the present embodiment, the space production system corresponds to the first production system, and the earth production system corresponds to the second production system. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times includes the space production system corresponding to the first production system and the second production system. There is a corresponding earth production system.

  In the present embodiment, when the production system is different, the motif of the production executed in at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the production display device 25 is different, and the atmosphere is different. In this way, in this embodiment, “the production system of the specific production is different” corresponds to “the production motif is different” or “the production atmosphere is different”. It can be said that the ambiance is different because the atmosphere of the production is different. In addition, the mood of the production varies depending on the atmosphere of the production.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the production system of a specific production differs, the production system of the background image displayed on the display area 25r of the production display device 25 is different. Specifically, when the production system is different, the background image displayed in the display area 25r is different. In the present embodiment, the effect of displaying the background image corresponds to the specific effect. Thus, the effect which displays a background image is performed in display area 25r of effect display device 25 which functions as an image display part.

  In the present embodiment, when the system is a land production system, an effect of displaying a background image with the land as a motif (hereinafter referred to as a land background image) in the display area 25r is executed. In the case of the river production system, the production of displaying a background image with a river motif (hereinafter referred to as a river background image) in the display area 25r is executed. In the case of the sea effect system, an effect of displaying a background image with the sea as a motif (hereinafter referred to as a sea background image) in the display area 25r is executed. When the system is the sky effect system, an effect of displaying a background image with the sky as a motif (hereinafter referred to as an empty background image) in the display area 25r is executed. In the case of the earth effect system, an effect is displayed in which a background image with the earth as a motif (hereinafter, referred to as a background image of the earth) is displayed in the display area 25r. When the system is a space effect system, an effect of displaying a background image with a cosmic motif (hereinafter referred to as a space background image) in the display area 25r is executed. Thus, the background image displayed in the display area 25r differs depending on the type of effect system. In the present embodiment, as described above, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production and the production of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. The system is different. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background image displayed in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the background image displayed in the variation cycle before the second variation cycle.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is any one of the land production system, the river production system, the sea production system, and the sky production system. It becomes a production system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the land background image, the effect of displaying the river background image, the effect of displaying the sea background image, and the effect of displaying the sky background image are executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. It can be said that it is possible production. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the production system executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is not the earth production system or the space production system. Therefore, it can be said that the effect of displaying the background image of the earth and the effect of displaying the background image of the universe are effects that cannot be executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is any production system of the earth production system and the space production system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the background image of the earth and the effect of displaying the background image of the universe can be said to be effects that can be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is not the land production system, the river production system, the sea production system, or the sky production system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the land background image, the effect of displaying the background image of the river, the effect of displaying the background image of the sea, and the effect of displaying the background image of the sky are the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect. It can be said that this is an infeasible performance.

  As described above, effects that cannot be performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect (effects that display land background images, effects that display river background images, effects that display sea background images, The effect of displaying the background image) can be executed in the first fluctuation cycle. An effect that cannot be executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect (an effect that displays the background image of the earth or an effect that displays the background image of the universe) can be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. Thereby, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production and the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second (first fluctuation cycle) are different. Thus, in this embodiment, “the production system of the specific effect is different” corresponds to “the background image displayed in the display area 25r is different”.

  In the present embodiment, when the production system of the specific production is different, the production system of the production that outputs the background music from the speaker 18 is different. Specifically, when the production system is different, the background music output from the speaker 18 is different. In the present embodiment, the effect of outputting background music corresponds to the specific effect. In this manner, the speaker 18 performs an effect of outputting background music.

  In the present embodiment, when the land production system is used, the production of outputting the background music using the land as a motif (hereinafter referred to as land background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the river production system, the production of outputting the background music with the river as a motif (hereinafter referred to as river background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the sea production system, the production of outputting the background music with the sea motif (hereinafter referred to as sea background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the sky production system, the production of outputting background music with the sky as a motif (hereinafter referred to as sky background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the earth effect system, an effect of outputting background music with the earth as a motif (hereinafter referred to as earth background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the space production system, the production of outputting background music with the motif of the universe (hereinafter referred to as space background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. Thus, the background music output from the speaker 18 differs depending on the type of production system. In the present embodiment, as described above, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production and the production of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. The system is different. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background music output in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous performance is different from the background music output in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is any one of the land production system, the river production system, the sea production system, and the sky production system. It becomes a production system. Therefore, the effect of outputting land background music, the effect of outputting river background music, the effect of outputting sea background music, and the effect of outputting sky background music are executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. It can be said that it is possible production. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the production system executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is not the earth production system or the space production system. Therefore, the effect of outputting the background music of the earth and the effect of outputting the background music of the universe can be said to be effects that cannot be executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is any production system of the earth production system and the space production system. Accordingly, it can be said that the effect of outputting the background music of the earth and the effect of outputting the background music of the universe are effects that can be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is not the land production system, the river production system, the sea production system, or the sky production system. Therefore, the effect of outputting the background music of land, the effect of outputting the background music of the river, the effect of outputting the background music of the sea, and the effect of outputting the background music of the sky are the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. It can be said that this is an infeasible performance.

  As described above, effects that cannot be performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect (effects that output land background music, effects that output river background music, effects that output sea background music, The effect of outputting background music) can be executed in the first fluctuation cycle. An effect that cannot be executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect (an effect that outputs the background music of the earth or an effect that outputs the background music of the universe) can be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. Thereby, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production and the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second (first fluctuation cycle) are different. As described above, in this embodiment, “the production system of the specific effect is different” corresponds to “the background music output from the speaker 18 is different”.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first character, the second character, the third character, and the fourth character are used when the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is the space production system. An effect in which one of the characters appears is executed. An effect in which any one of the first character to the fourth character appears corresponds to a specific effect. That is, the specific effect executed when the space effect system is used is executed with the contents of the character appearing. In the present embodiment, the effects in which the first character to the fourth character appear are effects that are executed only when the effect system of the specific effect is the “space effect system”, and are other effect systems. Sometimes not executed.

  And when it is a space production system, a different character appears in each fluctuation cycle one by one in one fluctuation cycle among the first character to the fourth character. In addition, the type of character that appears in the variation cycle when the system is a space production system is randomly determined. As the “determined randomly” method, for example, a method of determining by lottery or a method of determining by determining a pattern in which the type and order of characters appearing are determined. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when it is a space production system, the type of character appearing in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is determined by lottery from the first character to the fourth character. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when it is a space production system, the types of characters that appear in the third and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production have already appeared among the first character to the fourth character. It is determined by lottery from characters other than existing characters. Incidentally, in the case of the space production system, when any one of the first character to the fourth character appears in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production, for the characters that have already appeared, the next and subsequent fluctuation cycles. Will continue to appear. For example, when the fourth character appears in the second fluctuation cycle, any one of the first to third characters further appears while the fourth character continues to appear in the third fluctuation cycle. .

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is the space production system, any one of the first to fourth characters appears. Production is performed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect in which any one of the first character to the fourth character appears is not executed. As described above, an effect that cannot be executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect (an effect in which any one of the first to fourth characters appears) can be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. . Thereby, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production and the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second (first fluctuation cycle) are different. In this way, in this embodiment, “the production system of the specific effect is different” can be said to correspond to “a difference in whether any one of the first character to the fourth character appears”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the number of times of the fluctuation cycle when one special game is executed is one, the specific effect may be executed in the fluctuation cycle. At this time, the production system of the specific production is any production system of the land production system, the river production system, the sea production system, and the sky production system. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one, when the fluctuation pattern HP1 is determined, when the fluctuation pattern HP2 is determined, and This is when the variation pattern HP6 is determined. In addition, when the number of times of the change cycle when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect is executed in the change cycle, the number of change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect It can also be understood that is a single time. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle even if the number of fluctuation cycles is one when the special symbol fluctuation game is executed once. Is possible.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is controlled so as to be able to execute a notice effect. There are multiple types of notice effects in the present embodiment. Specifically, in the notice effect in the present embodiment, the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the third notice effect, the fourth notice effect, the fifth notice effect, the sixth notice effect, There are a total of nine types of 7 notice effects, 8 notice effects, and 9 notice effects.

  For example, as the type of the notice effect, an effect that the effect is developed according to the operation of the operation button BT (button notice effect), or an effect that the effect is developed step by step with the passage of time (step-up notice effect) ), An effect in which the appearing character comments (comment notice effect). Among the button notice effects, the kinds of notice effects include, for example, an effect in which the effect is developed by operating the operation button BT a plurality of times (button repeated effect), and the operation button BT is provided for a predetermined time. There are effects in which an effect is developed by operating (button long press effect), effects in which an effect is expanded by operating the operation button BT once (button operation effect), and the like. In addition, among the button operation effects, the types of the notice effects are effects that the item appears when the operation button BT is operated, effects that the character operates when the operation button BT is operated, For example, the decoration lamp 17 emits light when the operation button BT is operated.

  In addition, for example, as the type of the notice effect, there is an effect in which the appearing character operates. Further, the types of the notice effects include a notice effect executed in the effect display device 25, a notice effect executed in the decoration lamp 17, and a notice effect executed in the speaker 18. In addition, the type of the notice effect may be different depending on the combination of the effect devices that perform the notice effect among the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25. In addition, as a type of the notice effect, when an effect movable body is provided, there are an effect that the effect movable body operates and an effect that the effect movable body emits light.

  In the present embodiment, even when the same type of notice effect is executed, if the effect system is different, the display content of the effect display device 25 is different because the effect motif is different. For example, the case where the comment notice effect is executed when the stream effect system is executed is compared with the case where the comment notice effect is executed when the result is the earth effect system. When the comment announcement effect is executed in either the river production system or the earth production system, the character that appears is common in terms of the production commented, while the character that appears in the river production system (for example, a river fish) Characters (for example, ethnic groups) appearing when they are in the Earth production system are different. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, even if the types of the notice effects are the same, all the notice effects (for example, images displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25) are the same. Not that. The same type of the notice effect corresponds to a part of the notice effect being the same, and the form of the notice effect (for example, in the case of the comment notice effect, the character that has appeared comments) Are equivalent to each other.

  In addition, there are a plurality of types of effect contents in the notice effect of the present embodiment. The type of the notice effect is different from the kind of the contents of the notice effect. For example, when suggesting or notifying that a big hit will be made by a notice effect, the degree of expectation for a big hit (so-called big hit expectation) may be different depending on the contents of the notice effect. In this case, the notice effect corresponds to an effect that suggests or informs whether or not it will be a big hit. In addition, when suggesting or notifying that the advancement effect such as the high probability state or the high base state is caused by the notice effect, the effect state such as the high probability state or the high base state is obtained depending on the effect content of the notice effect. It is possible to have different expectations. In this case, the notice effect corresponds to an effect that suggests or notifies that an advantageous state is obtained. The notice effect may be an effect that suggests or informs that a big hit will occur, and may also be an effect that suggests or informs that an advantageous state is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the type of notice effect that can be executed differs from the type of notice effect that cannot be executed for each effect system. In the present embodiment, when the specific effect is executed, the type of the notice effect that is executed differs depending on the effect system.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the case of the “land effect system”, the first notice effect to the fourth notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are the types of notice effects that can be executed. Become. On the other hand, in the case of the “land effect system”, the fifth notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of the notice effect that cannot be executed. In the case of the “river production system”, the types of the notice effects that the first notice effect to the third notice effect and the fifth notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect can be executed. It becomes. On the other hand, in the case of the “river effect system”, the fourth notice effect and the sixth notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of the notice effect that cannot be executed. In the case of the “sea effect system”, the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the fourth notice effect, and the sixth notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are executed. It becomes a kind of possible notice effect. On the other hand, in the case of the “sea effect system”, the third notice effect, the fifth notice effect, and the seventh notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of the notice effect that cannot be executed. In the case of the “empty effect system”, the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the fifth notice effect, and the sixth notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are executed. It becomes a kind of possible notice effect. On the other hand, in the case of the “empty effect system”, the third notice effect, the fourth notice effect, and the seventh notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of the notice effect that cannot be executed.

  In this way, the “land production system”, “river production system”, “sea production system”, and “sky production system” which are the production systems of the specific production executed in the first fluctuation cycle when the specific production is executed. In common, the first notice effect and the second notice effect are executable notice effects. On the other hand, the “land directing system”, “river directing system”, “sea directing system”, which can be the directing effect system executed in the first changing cycle, which can be the directing effect system executed in the first changing cycle. ”And“ Empty production system ”, some of the types of notice effects that can be executed differ depending on the production system. Note that the types of the notice effects that are executed in the first variable cycle are the first notice effect to the sixth notice effect. The “first variation cycle” means not only the first variation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production, but also the number of variation cycles when one special game is being executed. This is intended to include a fluctuating cycle when a specific performance is executed.

  Further, in the case of the “Earth effect system”, the second notice effect and the seventh notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of executable notice effects. On the other hand, in the case of the “Earth effect system”, the first notice effect, the third notice effect to the sixth notice effect, the eighth notice effect, and the ninth notice effect are the types of the notice effect that cannot be executed. Become. Further, in the case of the “space effect system”, the second notice effect and the eighth notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of executable notice effects. On the other hand, in the case of the “space effect system”, the first notice effect, the third notice effect to the seventh notice effect, and the ninth notice effect are types of the notice effect that cannot be executed.

  In this way, in the “Earth Production System” and the “Space Production System”, which are the production systems of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, Become. On the other hand, even in the “Earth Production System” and the “Space Production System” which are the production systems of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, there are some types of noticeable productions that can be executed depending on the production system. Different. Note that the types of notice effects produced in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles are the second notice effect, the seventh notice effect, and the eighth notice effect.

  As described above, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed is “first notice effect to sixth notice effect”, and the second and subsequent change cycles. The types of the notice effects that are executed in the above are “second notice effect, seventh notice effect, and eighth notice effect”. As described above, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles is different from the kind of the notice effect that is executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second time. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variable cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variable cycle before the specific number of times. And some are different. Note that the types of the notice effects that are executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles may be different from the kinds of the notice effects that are executed in the fluctuation cycles before the second time. In this case, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specific number of times.

  In the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed, the number of times of the change cycle when one special game is executed is one, and the specific effect is executed in the change cycle. A variable cycle is also included. Accordingly, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the second and subsequent variation cycles is one variation cycle when one special game is executed, and the specific effect is executed in the variation cycle. It can be said that it is different from the kind of notice effect performed sometimes. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is the change cycle when one special symbol change game is executed. The number of times is one, and the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle is partially different. Note that the type of the notice effect that is executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles is one in the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed, and the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle. You may comprise so that it may differ from the kind of notice effect performed sometimes. In this case, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is one change cycle when the special symbol change game is executed once, and the change The types of the notice effects that are executed when the specific effects are executed in the cycle are all different.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, which corresponds to the type of the notice effect in which “first notice effect to sixth notice effect” is executed in the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed, the first notice is given. The effects and the third notice effect to the sixth notice effect are types of notice effects that are not executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. Thus, the type of the notice effect that cannot be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect becomes the type of the notice effect that can be executed in the change cycle before the second time. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, this corresponds to the type of the notice effect in which the “second notice effect, the seventh notice effect, and the eighth notice effect” are executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. The notice effect and the eighth notice effect are types of notice effects that are not executed in the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed. Thus, the type of the notice effect that cannot be executed in the change cycle before the second change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is the type of the notice effect that can be executed in the second and subsequent change cycles.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a notice effect even if the number of times of a change cycle when a special game is executed is one and a specific effect is not executed in the change cycle. Has been. When the number of times of the change cycle when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect is not executed in the change cycle, the first of the first notice effects to the ninth notice effect is provided. The notice effect, the second notice effect, and the ninth notice effect are the types of notice effects that can be executed. On the other hand, if the number of times of the change cycle when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect is not executed in the change cycle, the third notice effect to the eighth notice effect cannot be executed. It becomes a kind of a notice announcement. In FIG. 6, “when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect is not executed in the change cycle” is indicated as “no specific effect”.

  When the specific effect is executed, the first notice effect to the eighth notice effect are the notice effects to be executed. On the other hand, when the number of times of the fluctuation cycle when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect is not executed in the change cycle, the first notice effect, the second notice effect, and The ninth notice effect is the notice effect to be executed. As described above, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the changing cycle when the specific effect is executed is one change cycle when the special game is executed once. This differs from the type of notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle when the specific effect is executed is the number of change cycles when one special symbol change game is executed. Is different from the type of the notice effect produced when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. The type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the second change cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect is that the number of change cycles when one special game is executed is one. You may comprise so that it may differ from the kind of notice effect performed when a specific effect is not performed in a fluctuation cycle. In this case, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specified number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is one change cycle when the special symbol change game is executed once. However, the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuating cycle is all different.

  Therefore, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed is one change cycle when the one special game is executed, and the change cycle. This is different from the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed. That is, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle (first change cycle) before the second change cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect is the number of change cycles when one special game is executed. Is different from the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specified number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is executed as one special symbol change game. When the number of times of the fluctuation cycle is one and the specific effect is not executed in the change cycle, the type of the notice effect that is executed is partially different.

  In addition, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is that the number of change cycles when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect in the change cycle. This is different from the type of notice effect that is executed when is not executed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is the change cycle when one special symbol change game is executed. The type of the notice effect that is executed when the number of times is one and the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle is partially different. The type of the notice effect that is executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is that the number of change cycles when one special game is executed is one and the specific effect in the change cycle. You may comprise so that all may differ from the kind of notification effect performed when is not performed. In this case, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is one change cycle when the special symbol change game is executed once, and the change The types of the notice effects that are executed when the specific effects are not executed in the cycle are all different.

Hereinafter, control related to execution of the pseudo-continuous effect, the specific effect, and the notice effect will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a determines, by lottery, whether to execute the specific effect when any one of the variation patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated. The case where any one of the variation patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated corresponds to the case where the number of variation cycles when one special game is executed is one.

  Further, when the specific effect is not executed when any of the variation patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect to be executed from among the first notice effect, the second notice effect, and the ninth notice effect. The sub-control CPU 41a may determine one type or a plurality of types as the type of the notice effect. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a may perform a lottery to determine whether to execute the notice effect, and may determine the type of the notice effect when it is decided to execute the notice effect in the lottery. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a may determine whether to execute the notice effect and the type of the notice effect by a single lottery.

  When the type of the notice effect is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the contents of the notice effect. In addition, when there are a plurality of types determined as the types of the notice effects, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the contents of the effects of each kind of the notice effects. In determining the effect content of the notice effect, for example, the sub-control CPU 41a may determine the effect content of the notice effect with a probability corresponding to the type of the specified variation pattern, or the type of special symbol. You may make it determine the content of an effect of a notice effect with the probability according to.

  Thereafter, when the specific effect is not executed when any one of the change patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the decoration lamp so that the notice effect of the determined effect content is executed. 17, at least one of the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 is controlled. In executing the notice effect, for example, when the execution start timing at which execution is started differs depending on the type of the notice effect, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the notice effect at the execution start timing corresponding to the type of the notice effect to be executed. At least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled to start.

  Further, when a specific effect is executed when any one of the change patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect system of the specific effect. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a determines an effect system from the land effect system, the river effect system, the sea effect system, and the sky effect system. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect according to the effect system.

  Specifically, when the land effect system is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect from the first notice effect to the fourth notice effect. When the river production system is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the announcement effect from among the first notice effect to the third notice effect and the fifth notice effect. When the sea effect system is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect from among the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the fourth notice effect, and the sixth notice effect. When the empty production system is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the announcement effect from the first announcement effect, the second announcement effect, the fifth announcement effect, and the sixth announcement effect. The sub-control CPU 41a may determine one type or a plurality of types as the type of the notice effect. When the type of the notice effect is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the contents of the notice effect. In addition, when there are a plurality of types determined as the types of the notice effects, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the contents of the effects of each kind of the notice effects.

  Thereafter, when a specific effect is executed when any one of the change patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the decoration lamp so that the specified effect of the determined effect system is executed. 17, at least one of the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 is controlled. For example, when a specific effect is executed when any one of the change patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the background image (for example, the land effect system) according to the determined effect system. If so, the effect display device 25 is controlled so that a land background image) is displayed. Further, when a specific effect is executed when any one of the change patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a performs background music (for example, a land effect system) according to the determined effect system. If so, the speaker 18 is controlled so that land background music) is output. Thereby, the number of times of the fluctuation cycle when one special game is executed is one, and the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle.

  Further, when a specific effect is executed when any one of the change patterns HP1, HP2, and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a decoration lamp so that the notice effect of the determined effect content is executed. 17, at least one of the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 is controlled.

  Incidentally, when one of the variation patterns HP2 and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the reach effect is executed. Further, when any one of the variation patterns HP2 and HP6 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to execute the notice effect at a timing before the control is performed so that the reach effect is performed. At least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled. Further, when any one of the variation patterns HP2 and HP6 is designated and the specific effect is executed, the sub-control CPU 41a has a timing before the control so that the reach effect is executed. , At least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled so that the specific effect is executed. Thereby, the specific effect is executed before the reach effect is executed.

The sub-control CPU 41a performs control related to the execution of the pseudo continuous effect when any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated.
When any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect system of the specific effect executed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a determines an effect system of a specific effect that is executed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect from the land effect system, the river effect system, the sea effect system, and the sky effect system. .

  In addition, when any variation pattern is designated among the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9, the sub-control CPU 41a selects an effect system of a specific effect to be executed in the second and subsequent change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. decide. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a determines an effect system of a specific effect to be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect from the earth effect system and the space effect system.

  After determining the production system when any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect to be executed in each variation cycle. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect according to the effect system of the specific effect executed in each fluctuation cycle. For example, when the variation pattern HP4 is specified, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect in the first variation cycle according to the effect system of the specific effect executed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. decide. When the variation pattern HP4 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the notice effect in the second variation cycle in accordance with the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent variation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. And the type of notice effect in the third fluctuation cycle. The sub-control CPU 41a may determine one type or a plurality of types as the type of the notice effect in one fluctuation cycle.

  When the land effect system is determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the notice effect from the first notice effect to the fourth notice effect. Determine the type. When the river production system is determined as the production system of the specific production executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the first notice production to the third notice production and the fifth notice production. Decide the type of notice effect. When the sea effect system is determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the first notice effect, the second notice effect, and the fourth notice effect. The type of the notice effect is determined from the sixth notice effects. When the empty production system is determined as the production system of the specific production executed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous production, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the first notice production, the second notice production, and the fifth notice production. The type of the notice effect is determined from the sixth notice effects.

  Further, when the earth effect system is determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the second notice effect and the seventh notice effect. Decide the type of notice effect. When the space effect system is determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the notice effect from the second notice effect and the eighth notice effect. Determine the type of.

  When the type of the notice effect is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the contents of the notice effect. In addition, when there are a plurality of types determined as the types of the notice effects, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the contents of the effects of each kind of the notice effects.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines the “space effect system” as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, the type of character to appear in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles To decide. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the character type from the first character to the fourth character. When the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous presentation is 3 or more (that is, when the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles are multiple times), different types of characters in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous presentation. So that the type of character to appear in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles is determined.

  When any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the speaker 18 so that the specific effect of the determined effect system is executed. At least one of the effect display devices 25 is controlled. Specifically, in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the specific effect of the effect system determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. Thus, at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the specific effect of the effect system determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect in the second and subsequent change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. Thus, at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled.

  For example, when the variation pattern HP4 is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a performs “land effect system” as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the first change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, and the second and subsequent times in the pseudo continuous effect. Assume that the “Earth production system” is determined as the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the land background image is displayed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, and the speaker 18 is output so that the land background music is output. Control. Further, in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the background image of the earth is displayed, and the speaker 18 is output so that the background music of the earth is output. Control. Thereby, a specific effect is performed in the change cycle in a pseudo continuous effect.

  Further, when the “space effect system” is determined as the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect, the sub-control CPU 41a appears so that the character appears in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. The display contents of the effect display device 25 are controlled. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the character (any one of the first to fourth characters) determined to appear in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles appears. .

  Further, when any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub control CPU 41a executes the notice effect of the effect contents decided to be executed in each variation cycle. Thus, at least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled.

  Incidentally, when any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the reach effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the reach effect in the last change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect when any one of the change patterns HP3-HP5, HP7-HP9 is designated. The effect display device 25 is controlled. In this embodiment, the function as the reach production control means for controlling the execution of the reach production is realized by controlling the reach production to be executed by the sub-control CPU 41a.

  In addition, when any one of the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub control CPU 41a performs the notice effect at a timing prior to performing control so that the reach effect is executed. At least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled so as to be executed. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the notice effect is executed, thereby realizing a function as a notice effect control unit that controls execution of the notice effect.

  In addition, when any one of the fluctuation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is designated, the sub control CPU 41a performs the specific effect at a timing before performing the control so that the reach effect is executed. At least one of the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is controlled so as to be executed. In particular, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the decoration lamp so that the specific effect executed in the last change cycle is executed at a timing before the control so that the reach effect is executed in the last change cycle. 17, at least one of the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 is controlled. Thereby, the specific effect is executed before the reach effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the function as the specific effect control means for controlling the execution of the specific effect is realized by controlling the specific effect to be executed by the sub-control CPU 41a.

Here, the display contents of the effect display device 25 when the pseudo continuous effect is executed will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIGS. 7A to 7H, it is assumed that the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous performance is “4 times”. Furthermore, it is assumed that “sea production system” is determined as the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle (first fluctuation cycle) before the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production. Further, it is assumed that “space effect system” is determined as the effect content of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. It is assumed that the first character appears in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the second character appears in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, and the third character appears in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. Also, in the pseudo continuous effect, the second notice effect in the first fluctuation cycle, the second notice effect in the second change cycle, the eighth notice effect in the third change cycle, and the eighth notice effect in the fourth change cycle. It is assumed that 2 notice effects are executed. Incidentally, the content of the second notice effect performed in the second variation cycle is different from the effect of the second notice effect executed in the fourth variation cycle. Incidentally, in FIGS. 7A to 7H, the second notice effect is executed with the content of the comment of the appearing character, and the eighth notice effect is the content of the appearing character operating. Shall be executed.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the execution of the special game is started, the effect symbols in all the rows are displayed in a variable manner, and the effect game is started. As the premise, the production system of the specific production executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is the “sea production system”, and therefore the sea background image is displayed on the production display device 25. At this time, the background music of the sea is output from the speaker 18. Further, as the premise, the second notice effect is executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. For example, a character image TG having a turtle as a motif is displayed, and the second notice effect is executed with the contents commented by the character having the turtle as a motif. FIG. 7A shows a second notice effect executed with the content that a character having a turtle motif as a comment “may be a big hit”. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7B, the effect symbols of all the columns are temporarily stopped and displayed with the end of the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production is started, the production symbols of all the rows are variably displayed. As a premise, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is the “space production system”, and therefore the background image of the universe is displayed on the production display device 25. At this time, the background music of the universe is output from the speaker 18. Moreover, as a premise, in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the character image CG1 indicating the first character is displayed on the effect display device 25, and the first character appears. And as a premise, the second notice effect is executed in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. At this time, for example, the second notice effect is executed with the content commented by the appearing first character. FIG. 7C shows the second notice effect executed with the content that the first character comments “chance”. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7D, the effect symbols of all the columns are temporarily stopped and displayed with the end of the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (e), when the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production is started, the production symbols of all the rows are variably displayed. As the premise, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is the “space production system”, so that the space background image is displayed on the production display device 25. At this time, the background music of the universe is output from the speaker 18. Since the background image of the universe is displayed in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the background image of the universe continues to be displayed in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. It will be. Similarly, since the background music of the universe is output in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production, the background music of the universe continues to be output from the second fluctuation cycle in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous presentation. The

  Moreover, as a premise, in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the character image CG2 indicating the second character is displayed on the effect display device 25, and the second character appears. At this time, the character image CG1 indicating the first character that appeared in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect is also continuously displayed on the effect display device 25. And as a premise, the 8th notice production is performed in the 3rd change cycle in a pseudo continuous production. FIG. 7E shows an eighth notice effect that is executed with the content that the second character performs the operation of giving a peace sign. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7 (f), the effect symbols of all the columns are temporarily stopped and displayed with the end of the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (g), when the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production is started, the production symbols in all rows are variably displayed. Incidentally, in FIGS. 7A to 7H, the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production corresponds to the last fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production.

  As the premise, the production system of the specific production executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is the “space production system”, so that the space background image is displayed on the production display device 25. At this time, the background music of the universe is output from the speaker 18. Since the background image of the universe is displayed in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the background image of the universe continues to be displayed from the third variation cycle in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. It will be. Similarly, since the background music of the universe is output in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production, the background music of the universe continues to be output from the third fluctuation cycle in the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous presentation. The

  Moreover, as a premise, in the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the character image CG3 indicating the third character is displayed on the effect display device 25, and the third character appears. At this time, the character image CG1 indicating the first character that appeared in the second variation cycle and the character image CG2 indicating the second character that appeared in the third variation cycle are also displayed on the effect display device 25. Is done. And as a premise, the second notice effect is executed in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. FIG. 7G shows the second notice effect executed with the content that the third character comments “Intense heat”. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7 (h), in the fourth variation cycle corresponding to the last variation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production, the display pattern of the production symbol becomes the reach form, and the reach production is executed.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The production system of the specific production executed in the variation cycle after the second (specific number of times) in the pseudo continuous production is the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. Different. In this way, even with the same pseudo-continuous production, by changing the production system of the specific production with the second fluctuation cycle as a boundary, it is more interesting than the case where the same production is repeatedly repeated, and the interest is improved. Can be planned. In addition, since the production system of specific effects is different at the second fluctuation cycle, it is possible to experience various production systems of specific effects during one special game and to improve the interest.

  (2) The production system of the specific production executed in the second (specific number of times) and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is specified in the fluctuation cycle before the second (specific number of) fluctuation cycle. There are few types compared to the production system of production. Therefore, when the number of fluctuating cycles in the pseudo-continuous production reaches a specific number, the types of production systems for the specific production are reduced, and the types of production systems for the specific production are collected.

  In general, the greater the number of variable cycles, the higher the degree of expectation for jackpot. In addition, in a pachinko gaming machine, generally, the probability of being out of date is much higher than the probability of being a big hit. Therefore, since there are few opportunities for the number of fluctuation cycles to increase, there are more opportunities for the number of fluctuation cycles not to reach a specific number of times than an opportunity for the number of fluctuation cycles to reach a specific number. In this way, since there are more chances that the number of fluctuation cycles does not reach the specific number of times, by increasing the types of production systems of specific effects in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles, more The specific production of the production system of the kind is executed, and the interest can be improved while suppressing the tiredness. On the other hand, there are few opportunities for the number of fluctuation cycles to reach a specific number, so if you increase the types of specific effects in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times, what kind of specific effects of the production system you experience for the first time will be There is a risk that it will not be possible to grasp, the specific performance will not be fully enjoyed, and it will be difficult to improve interest. For this reason, by reducing the types of effect systems of specific effects in the variation cycle after the specific number of times, it becomes easy to entertain the specific effects in the change cycle after the specific number of times, and to improve the interest.

  As described above, instead of simply increasing the types of production systems for specific productions, the number of production cycles for specific productions can be reduced by reducing the types of production systems for specific productions at the specific number of production cycles in pseudo-continuous production. The interest can be effectively improved both when the specific number of times is not reached and when the number of fluctuation cycles reaches the specific number of times.

  (3) The type of the notice effect performed in the second (specific number of times) and subsequent change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the same as the type of the notice effect executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles. The parts are different. For this reason, in addition to the production system of a specific production, since the kind of notice production produces a change, the interest can be improved. And the attention degree to the frequency | count of the fluctuation | variation cycle in a quasi-continuous production reaching a specific frequency can be raised, and the interest can be improved.

  (4) The type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the second (specific number of times) change cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect is the number of change cycles when one special game is executed. The type of the notice effect that is executed once when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle is partially different. As a result, a different kind of notice effect than the change cycle may be executed rather than the specific number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect, so even if the specific effect is not executed, the type of the notice effect Changes can be made to improve interest.

  (5) The type of the notice effect that is executed in the second (specific number of times) or later change cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect is that the number of change cycles when one special game is executed is one. The type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle is partially different. As a result, a different kind of notice effect may be executed from the fluctuation cycle after the specified number of times in the pseudo continuous effect, so even if the specific effect is not executed, the type of the notice effect is changed. It is possible to improve the interest.

  (6) An effect that cannot be executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second (specific number of times) fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production can be executed in the second (specific number of times) and subsequent fluctuation cycles. Different directing elements of the production. In this way, since the production that has not been executed is executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production reaches the specific number of times, the variation of the production further increases, and the fluctuation varies slightly. It is more interesting than the case where the cycle is repeated, and can improve the interest.

  (7) The background image displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25 in the second (specific number) change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is the effect display device 25 in the change cycle before the second change cycle. Different from the background image displayed in the display area 25r. Thereby, it can be grasped | ascertained by the background image displayed on the display area 25r of the production | presentation display apparatus 25 that the frequency | count of the fluctuation | variation cycle in a quasi-continuous production has reached the specific frequency.

  (8) The background music output from the speaker 18 in the second (specific number of times) fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous performance is different from the background music output from the speaker 18 in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. . Thereby, it can be grasped | ascertained from the background music output from the speaker 18 that the frequency | count of the change cycle in pseudo | simulation continuous production reached the specific frequency.

  (9) The specific effect production system executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is different from the specific production effect system executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production. As a result, in the first variation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production, the specific production is executed in a production system different from the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, so that the production system of the specific production changes in the second fluctuation cycle. It becomes easy for the player to grasp that the pseudo-continuous performance is being executed.

  (10) The specific effect production system executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is different from the specific production production system executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production. For this reason, when the specific production is executed in the production system in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production has reached two times (or the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is 2). It is easier for the player to grasp that the number of times has been exceeded. In this way, the change in the production system can suggest the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production, increasing the degree of attention to the specific production and improving the interest.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the above embodiment, the types of the notice effects that are executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous effect are the same as the types of the notice effects that are executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles. You may comprise so that it may differ. In this case, since the type of the notice effect is changed in addition to the effect system of the specific effect, the interest can be improved. Further, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the fact that the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production reaches a specific number of times, and to improve the interest. In the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles. You do not have to. That is, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect may be the same as the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles. .

  In the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is 1 for the change cycle when one special game is executed. It may be configured so that the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle is different from the type of the notice effect. In this case, since a different kind of notice effect is executed than the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect, the notice effect is provided even if the specific effect is not executed. A change occurs in the type of the game, and the interest can be improved. In the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is the number of change cycles when one special game is executed. It is not necessary to differ from the type of the notice effect that is executed once when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the change cycle before the specific number of change cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is that the number of change cycles when one special game is executed is one. It may be the same as the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle.

  In the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variable cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is the number of the change cycle when one special game is executed, You may comprise so that the kind of notice effect performed when a specific effect is not performed in a change cycle may differ from all. In this case, since a different kind of notice effect is executed from the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect, even if the specific effect is not executed, the type of the notice effect is changed. It is possible to improve the interest. Further, in the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the fluctuating cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous effect is that the number of the changing cycle when one special game is executed is one. It is not necessary to differ from the type of the notice effect that is executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, the type of the notice effect that is executed in the fluctuating cycle after the specified number of times in the pseudo-continuous effect is one in the changing cycle when one special game is executed, and is specified in the changing cycle. It may be the same type of notice effect that is executed when the effect is not executed.

  The effect that cannot be executed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect may be an effect that cannot be executed in the variable cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect. In addition, the effect that cannot be executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect may be an effect that cannot be executed in the variable cycle before the specific number of time fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect.

  The type of the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous production is different from the type of the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number of times. On the other hand, the number of each type may be the same. In addition, the production system of the specific production executed in the variation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous production is compared to the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number of times, There may be many types.

When the types of the notice effects are the same, all the notice effects (for example, images displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25) may be the same.
In the above embodiment, one or more of the effects that display the background image, the effects that output the background music, and the effects that any one of the first to fourth characters appears may be specified effects. Good. In addition, the specific effect may not be an effect of displaying a background image, an effect of outputting background music, or an effect of any one of the first to fourth characters appearing in the above embodiment. For example, the effect display device 25 may be configured to display a predetermined effect image as a specific effect and display different effect images depending on the effect system. Moreover, the effect which light-emits the decoration lamp 17 may be used as a specific effect, and the decoration lamp 17 may be configured to emit light in different light emission modes (for example, different emission colors) depending on the effect system.

  In the above embodiment, the background image may be displayed even when the specific effect is not executed. At this time, a background image (for example, a background image that can specify the gaming state or a background image that can specify the effect mode) different from the background image displayed according to the effect system may be displayed. . In the case of such a configuration, the effect that displays the background image displayed according to the effect system among the background images corresponds to the specific effect. That is, in the above embodiment, the effect of displaying the land background image, the effect of displaying the background image of the river, the effect of displaying the background image of the sea, the effect of displaying the background image of the sky, the background image of the earth The effect to display and the effect to display the background image of the universe correspond to the specific effect. And it can be said that the effect which displays a background image different from the background image displayed according to an effect system does not correspond to a specific effect.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, even if it is a case where a specific effect is not performed, you may comprise so that background music may be output. At this time, background music (for example, background music that can specify the game state or background music that can specify the effect mode) different from the background music that is output according to the effect system may be output. . In the case of such a configuration, the effect of outputting the background music output according to the effect system in the background music corresponds to the specific effect. That is, in the above embodiment, the production of outputting the background music of the land, the production of outputting the background music of the river, the production of outputting the background music of the sea, the production of outputting the background music of the sky, the background music of the earth The effect to output and the effect to output the background music of the universe correspond to the specific effect. And it can be said that the effect which outputs the background music different from the background music output according to an effect system does not correspond to a specific effect.

  When the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is 3 or more, the production system of the specific production executed in the third and subsequent fluctuation cycles is the fluctuation cycle (first and second) before the third fluctuation cycle. It may be different from the production system of the specific production executed in the second fluctuation cycle). In this case, “3 times” corresponds to the specific number of times. Similarly, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is four times or more, the production system of the specific production executed in the fourth and subsequent fluctuation cycles is the fluctuation cycle (first time) before the fourth fluctuation cycle. It may be different from the production system of the specific performance executed in (the third variation cycle). In this case, “4 times” corresponds to the specific number of times. As described above, the variation cycle that is the variation cycle of the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous performance may not be the second variation cycle as in the above embodiment. In the above embodiment, the “fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production” is when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is “the maximum number of possible fluctuation cycles (four times) in the pseudo-continuous production”. This corresponds to the last fluctuation cycle. Therefore, the fluctuation cycle of the specific number of times in the pseudo-continuous production is the final cycle when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is “the maximum number of possible fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production (4 times)”. It may be a variable cycle.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the production system of the specific production executed in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is different from the production system of the specific production executed in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production. It may be allowed. Further, the specific effect production system executed in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous production may be different from the specific production production system executed in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous production. Thus, the production system of the specific production executed in each fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production may be varied. In this case, it becomes easier for the player to know how many fluctuation cycles are being performed in the pseudo-continuous production by the production system of the specific production. As described above, the specific effect may be an effect of notifying the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. For example, the specific effect is executed in blue in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the specific effect is executed in yellow in the second change cycle, the specific effect is executed in green in the third change cycle, and the fourth time. The specific effect may be executed in red in the fluctuating cycle. At this time, the difference in the color of the specific effect corresponds to the difference in the effect system of the specific effect, and it is possible to specify the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect from the color of the specific effect. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the production system of the specific effect, and to improve the interest.

  Moreover, when comprised as mentioned above, rather than the production system of the specific production performed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous production, the production system of the specific production executed in the second production cycle in the pseudo continuous production. However, the number of types may be reduced. Furthermore, the type of the production system of the specific effect executed in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is less than the type of the production system of the specific production executed in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production. You may comprise. In addition, the type of the production system of the specific effect executed in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production is less than the type of the production system of the specific production executed in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production. You may comprise. As described above, the number of types of effect systems of specific effects executed in the change cycle may be reduced as the number of change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect increases.

  -When the production system of a specific production is a space production system, according to the kind of character which appeared in the specific production, you may comprise so that a big hit expectation degree may differ. For example, when the fourth character appears, the jackpot expectation degree may be higher than when any one of the first character, the second character, and the third character appears. Good. Further, when the third character appears, the big hit expectation degree may be higher than when either the first character or the second character appears. Further, when the second character appears, the jackpot expectation degree may be higher than when the first character appears. In other words, the relationship of the level of expectation of jackpot according to the type of character that appears when the production system of the specific production is the space production system is “first character <second character <third character <fourth character”. You may make it become the relationship. In the case of such a configuration, when it is a space production system, attention can be paid to the types of characters that appear, and the interest can be improved. In this way, the specific effect may be an effect that suggests or notifies that a big hit will be made. And when it comprises so that execution of the specific production | presentation which suggests or alert | reports that it is a big hit, the player's attention degree with respect to a specific production can be raised, and the improvement of an interest can be aimed at more effectively.

  -Regarding the determination of the variation pattern, for example, even if it is a big hit, the type of variation pattern to be determined and the decision rate of various variation patterns may be varied depending on the type of big hit. In other words, the variation pattern may be determined based on the type of jackpot. In addition, depending on the type of special game (according to the start opening into which the game ball has entered), the type of variation pattern to be determined and the determination rate of various variation patterns may be varied. In other words, the variation pattern may be determined based on the type of the special game (starting opening into which the game ball has entered). Further, the type of variation pattern to be determined and the determination rate of various variation patterns may be varied depending on the gaming state. In other words, the variation pattern may be determined based on the gaming state. For example, a configuration is made such that a variation pattern in which the number of variation cycles when a special game is executed is multiple is determined only in a low probability state and in a low base state. May be. In the case of such a configuration, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed only when the state is the low probability state and the low base state. Thus, you may comprise so that a pseudo | simulation continuous effect may be performed according to a game state.

  -You may comprise so that a big hit expectation degree may increase, so that the frequency | count of the fluctuation cycle in pseudo | simulation continuous production is large. For example, when the big hit lottery is won (in the case of a big hit), the fluctuation pattern associated with a larger number of fluctuation cycles is determined than in the case where the big hit lottery is not won (in the case of a loss). You may comprise so that it may be easy. Here, “the number of fluctuation cycles is large” means that, for example, when the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is “4 times”, “3 times” or “4 times” It can be said that the number of fluctuation cycles is larger than “twice”. As described above, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is increased, the jackpot expectation degree is increased, and the jackpot expectation is increased as the fluctuation cycle is repeated when one special game is executed. The degree increases, and the interest can be improved. In particular, even if the normal reach production is executed in the midway fluctuation cycle, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the special symbol being temporarily displayed in the middle row in the normal reach production, and to improve the interest.

  The number of fluctuation cycles may not be associated with the fluctuation pattern. For example, the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed by the sub-control CPU 41a may be determined. . For example, the sub-control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of fluctuation cycles based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. For example, the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles when a special game is being executed may be associated with the fluctuation pattern, and the sub-control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of fluctuation cycles with the upper limit number as an upper limit.

  -When the effect symbols of all the columns are temporarily stopped during the variable cycle in the middle of the pseudo-continuous effect, the symbol combinations by the effect symbols that are temporarily stopped only during the variable cycle in the pseudo-continuous effect are temporarily displayed. You may comprise as follows. Here, “the symbol combination by the effect symbol that is temporarily stopped only during the fluctuating cycle in the middle of the pseudo continuous effect” is an effect symbol that does not constitute the effect symbol that constitutes the symbol combination by the effect symbol derived in the effect game. It may be a symbol combination by a production symbol including (special symbol).

  -It is not necessary to configure so that all rows of effect symbols are temporarily stopped in a fluctuating cycle in the middle of the pseudo-continuous effect. For example, some of the effect symbols of all rows are temporarily stopped. You may comprise so that it may be comprised, and it may be comprised so that the production | presentation symbol of all the rows may continue to be variably displayed without being stopped once. In the case of a configuration in which the effect symbols in all rows are continuously displayed in a variable cycle in the middle of the pseudo-continuous effect without being temporarily displayed, the effect symbols in all rows continue to be displayed in a variable manner across the variable cycle. . When it is configured to continuously display the effect symbols of all the columns across the change cycle, it is not necessary to pay attention to the effect symbols that are displayed once stopped. It becomes easy to direct the attention of the person, and it becomes easy to improve the interest by executing other effects such as a specific effect and a notice effect.

  In the above-described embodiment, it can be understood that the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variable cycle is different because the type of the notice effect that is executed in the variable cycle is different. That is, the notice effect in the above embodiment can be regarded as a specific effect. Even in the case of capturing as described above, the production system of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times is the production of the specific production executed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number of times. Different from the system.

  -The frequency | count of the fluctuation | variation cycle in pseudo-continuous production does not need to be matched with the fluctuation | variation pattern. For example, during a special game based on the same variation pattern, both the case where the number of variation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production is two times and the case where the number of variation cycles in the pseudo-continuous representation is three can be created. You may comprise. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect based on the change pattern determined by the main control CPU 40a. In this case, the sub control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect by determining the sub fluctuation pattern determined by the sub control CPU 41a. The fluctuation pattern is associated with the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production, and sub-controls the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production from the range up to the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo-continuous production. The CPU 41a may be determined.

  -Even if it is a case where a pseudo | simulation continuous effect is performed in the said embodiment, you may comprise so that a reach effect may not be performed. For example, the reach effect may not be executed when the number of fluctuating cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is two, while the reach effect is executed when the number of fluctuating cycles in the pseudo-continuous effect is three or more. May be.

-The upper limit of the variation cycle in the pseudo-continuous production may not be four times as in the above embodiment, and may be three times, five times, six times, for example.
The above embodiment may be applied to a pachinko gaming machine that performs a small hit lottery (win lottery) in addition to a big hit lottery (win lottery). Generally, when a small win (win) is won in the small win lottery, a small hit game (win game) is awarded after the special game is over.
