Yes. Further, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

  By the way, the game area 6 in which the game ball can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side of the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is referred to as “left-handed”. On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is referred to as “right-handed”. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the flow path through which the game ball can flow when the game ball is fired with the left strike is referred to as a first flow path R1, and when the game ball is fired with the right strike, the game ball flows down. A possible flow path is referred to as a second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also configured by a number of game nails and the like.

  A first start port 11 and two general winning ports 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim to win the first starting port 11 or the general winning port 10 by firing the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by left-handed. On the other hand, on the second flow path R2, a second start port 12, a gate 13, a first grand prize winning port 14, and a second major prize winning port 15 are provided. Therefore, the player fires the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by right-handed, thereby allowing the player to pass through the gate 13, the second start port 12, the first big winning port 14, or the second It is possible to aim for winning in the big winning opening 15.

  The game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings (the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the first big winning opening 14, and the second big winning opening 15) It is guided to the outlet 19 and discharged. In addition, the number of winning balls by winning in each winning opening can be set as appropriate.

  An indicator 8 is arranged on the lower left side of the gaming area 6 formed on the front surface of the gaming board 1 (a part other than the gaming area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, on the display devices 8, a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, a special figure 2 display 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and a universal figure are variably displayed. A universal display 82 is included. Further, the display unit 8 displays a special figure 1 hold display 83a for displaying a special figure 1 hold number, which will be described later (U1: the number in which the variable display of the special figure 1 by the special figure 1 display 81a is held), Also included is a special figure 2 hold display 83b for displaying a special figure 2 hold number (U2: the number of the variable display of the special figure 2 by the special figure 2 display 81b being held) which will be described later.

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball in the first start port 11. The variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball at the second start port 12. In the following description, special figure 1 and special figure 2 are collectively referred to as special figure, and special figure 1 lottery and special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as special figure lottery. The special figure display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively referred to as a special figure display 81. Further, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b are collectively referred to as a special figure hold indicator 83.

  The special figure variable display notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the special figure variable display, the special figure is variably displayed and then stopped. A special figure to be stopped (a special figure derived and displayed as a stop special figure or a variable display result) is one special figure selected from a plurality of types of special figures by special drawing lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, that is, a jackpot symbol), the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 and the second big prize opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

  The special figure display 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure corresponding to the result of the special figure lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a jackpot (one of a plurality of types of jackpots to be described later), the special chart indicator 81 displays “□□ ■■ □□ ■■” (□: lit, ■ : The jackpot symbol composed of the lighting of the first, second, fifth and sixth LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery is lost, a special symbol display 81 “■■■■■■■ □” is displayed, indicating a losing pattern consisting of only the rightmost LED. To do. In addition, the lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited, and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all LEDs may be turned off as a lost pattern.

  Further, in the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is variablely displayed for a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. The special display variable display mode is, for example, a mode in which each LED is lit so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The variable display mode of the special figure is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set such that all the LEDs blink at the same time unless each LED is stopped (lighted display in a specific mode).

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning game ball (entering a ball) at the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, various random numbers (numerical information and determination information) for performing special drawing lottery, etc. An example) may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in a special figure hold storage unit 105 described later as a special figure hold. In the following description, various random numbers acquired by winning a game ball at the first starting port 11 (referred to as a winning ball) are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers” and winning the game ball at the second starting port 12. Various random numbers acquired by (entrance ball) are called “special figure 2 related random numbers”. Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored in the special figure 1 storage unit 105a in the special figure storage unit 105 as a special figure 1 storage unit. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored in the special figure 2 storage unit 105b in the special figure storage unit 105 as a special figure 2 storage unit. The number of special figure 1 holds that can be stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a (special figure 1 hold number) and the number of special figure 2 holds that can be stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b (special figure 2 hold number) It is possible to set an upper limit (for example, 4). In the following, the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are collectively referred to as “special figure hold”, and the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number are collectively referred to as “special figure hold number”. The special figure 1 related random numbers and the special figure 2 related random numbers are collectively referred to as “special figure related random numbers”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special figure is not performed immediately after the game ball wins the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special figure is being executed. If there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, it is possible to reserve a variable display of a special figure (or the right to draw a special figure) for the prize. The special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit 105 is digested when variable display of the special figure based on the special figure hold becomes possible. In other words, the special figure reservation means that a special figure related random number or the like corresponding to the special figure hold is determined, and variable display of the special figure for indicating the determination result is executed.

3. Main games by the gaming machine Next, main games played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

3-1. Games related to general plans First, the games related to general plans will be explained. When the launched game ball passes through the gate 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a regular drawing. When the general map lottery is performed, the general map display 82 performs variable display of the general map (stop display after the variable display is performed). Here, there are a winning symbol and a lost symbol in the usual symbols to be stopped and displayed. In addition, the losing symbol of the ordinary figure is also referred to as “losing ordinary figure” in order to distinguish it from the losing symbol of the special figure described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the lost map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. In the following, the passage of the game ball through the gate 13 when the variable display or the auxiliary game is not performed is referred to as “establishment of the general variable start condition”.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 obtains a common figure-related random number when the general figure variable start condition is satisfied in performing such a series of games (a general drawing lottery, a variable drawing of a common drawing, and an auxiliary game). The common figure related random numbers to be acquired include normal symbol random numbers as shown in FIG. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for making a hit determination. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. Winning determination The winning determination is a determination for determining whether or not to win (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. The hit determination table can be associated with a gaming state to be described later. In other words, the gaming state includes a non-short-time state and a short-time state. As a hit determination table, a hit determination table used in the non-time-short state (non-time-short hit determination table) and a hit determination table used in the short-time state (short-time use) And a hit determination table). In each winning determination table, normal symbol random number determination values (ordinary symbol random values) are assigned to the winning and losing results of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table, and determines whether or not it is a hit or lose. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the normal map variation pattern determination for performing variable display of the normal map is performed. If the result of the hit determination is a hit, basically, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the usual figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is lost, basically, the lost map is stopped and displayed with variable display of the normal map. In addition, the winning probability of winning can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. Normal Map Variation The universal map variation pattern determination is a determination for determining a general map variation pattern using one or a plurality of general map variation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. The normal map variation pattern is identification information related to a predetermined item related to a variable display of a general map such as a normal map change time.

  The normal variation pattern determination table can be associated with a gaming state. In other words, as a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table, a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-short normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table) used in a non-temporal state and a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table (in a time-short state) ( It is possible to distinguish between a short time normal map fluctuation pattern determination table).

  Each normal pattern variation pattern determination table stores one general map variation pattern, which is a result of the general pattern variation pattern determination, for each general map to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can vary the normal time variation time in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state. For example, in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the general figure when the lost figure (losing common figure) is stopped and displayed is determined as a normal figure change pattern in which the normal figure change time is 30 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the normal map when the display is stopped, the normal map change time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds. In the short-time state, the variable display of the general map when the lost map is stopped and displayed is determined to be the normal pattern change pattern in which the normal map change time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the normal pattern when the win symbol is stopped and displayed. For the variable display of the figure, the usual figure fluctuation pattern is determined such that the usual figure fluctuation time is 5 seconds, for example. The universal map variable display of the regular map variable time associated with the regular map variation pattern determined in this determination is performed by the universal map display 82. Further, these normal time fluctuations can be changed as appropriate. Thus, by performing the hit determination and the normal variation pattern determination, the variable display of the normal map is performed on the general map display 82.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game Auxiliary game is a variable display of a normal figure, and is executed when a winning symbol is stopped (derived) as a display result (result of a common figure lottery).

  The auxiliary game includes various elements such as an element constituting the auxiliary game (auxiliary game component), that is, the number of times the electric Chu 12D is opened, and an opening time for each opening. Each of these elements is associated with a gaming state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls auxiliary games using one or more auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9C based on the gaming state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Each auxiliary game control table stores auxiliary game components. In addition, the number of times of opening and the opening time for each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the opening time of the electric chews 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-short-time state and the auxiliary game in the time-short state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time-short state, the electric chew 12D is released only for the first opening time (the time during which it is difficult to win the game ball in the electric chew 12D (for example, 0.08 seconds)). In the following, the auxiliary game in the non-time-short state is also referred to as “short opening auxiliary game”. In the auxiliary game in the short-time state, the electric chew 12D is held for the second opening time longer than the first opening time (the time during which it is easy to win the game ball on the electric chewing 12D (eg, 3.00 seconds)). Open. In the following, the auxiliary game in the short-time state is also referred to as “long open auxiliary game”.

3-2. Games related to special figures Next, games related to special figures will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the special drawing 1 lottery when the launched game ball wins the first starting port 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs the variable display of the special figure 1 (stop display after performing the variable display), and notifies the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, the special figure 1 that is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the special drawing 1 lottery results include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is completed.

  Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the special drawing 2 lottery when the launched game ball wins the second starting port 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs the variable display of the special figure 2 (stop display after performing the variable display), and notifies the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, the special figure 2 which is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the special figure 2 lottery results include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lose symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is finished.

  In the following, winning a game ball at the first start port 11 is referred to as “first start condition establishment”, and winning a game ball at the second start port 12 “second establishment condition established”. That's it. Further, “satisfaction of the first start condition” and “satisfaction of the second start condition” are collectively referred to as “satisfaction of the start condition”. In addition, the special symbol lost pattern is also referred to as a “special lost symbol” in order to distinguish it from the above-mentioned common symbol lost pattern.

  In performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, jackpot game, game state setting), the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires special figure-related random numbers when the start condition is established, Various determinations are made on the random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special figure-related random numbers to be acquired include special symbol random numbers (big hit random numbers), big hit symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special figure variation pattern random numbers. The special symbol random number is a random number for determining the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for determining the jackpot symbol type. The reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number for determining the variation pattern of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. A random number may be referred to as determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot Determination The jackpot determination is a determination for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether or not a jackpot game is executed) using one or a plurality of jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with whether the game state is a normal probability state or a high probability state. That is, the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and the jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table) can be distinguished as the jackpot determination table. Is possible.

  In each jackpot determination table, the determination value of the special symbol random number (special symbol random number value) is distributed to the jackpot and the loss that are the results of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 compares the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the high probability jackpot determination table has more special symbol random number determination values determined to be jackpots than the normal probability jackpot determination table. Also, the jackpot winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination The jackpot symbol type determination is a jackpot symbol type determination (one jackpot symbol type) using one or more jackpot symbol type determination tables as shown in FIG. Is a determination for determining. For each jackpot symbol type, it is possible to associate jackpot components, such as the contents of jackpot, in other words, game benefits given to the player.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the start port where the winning is attributed to the jackpot symbol type determination (which generated the jackpot symbol type determination). Is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot symbol used when performing variable display of the special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, and in each jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type judgment value (big jackpot symbol type random value) is distributed to the jackpot symbol type that is the result of the jackpot symbol type determination Yes. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines the type of the jackpot symbol by collating the acquired jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table. In the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type random number value is appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. Also, the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type can be changed as appropriate. Also, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type according to the jackpot symbol type determination for the special symbol 1 is 50% for the jackpot symbol X and 50% for the jackpot symbol Y. The jackpot symbol Z can be set to 100% for the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by determining the jackpot symbol type. As described above, the special figure 1 lottery performed when the game ball is won at the first starting port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed when the game ball is won at the second start port 12 are different. It is possible to vary the fraction.

3-2-3. Reach Determination In the reach determination, when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, whether or not to generate a reach with a special figure variation effect described later using one or a plurality of reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a determination for determining whether or not.

  The reach determination table can be associated with a gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, a reach determination table (non-temporal reach reach determination table) used in a non-short-time state is distinguished from a reach determination table (short-time reach determination table) used in a time-short state. It is possible.

  In each reach determination table, reach random number determination values (reach random values) are distributed between reach determination results “reach” (reach is generated) and “reach is not generated (reach is not generated)”. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 compares the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not reach is generated). As shown in FIG. 10C, it is possible to vary the number of reach random numbers determined to be “with reach (generate reach)” between the non-short-time reach determination table and the short-time reach determination table. It is. In the following, “with reach (generates a reach)” performed on the assumption that the result of the jackpot determination is “lost” is referred to as “lost with reach” and “no reach (does not generate reach)” ) ”Is sometimes referred to as“ unreach without reach ”.

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation The special figure fluctuation pattern judgment is performed by using one or a plurality of special symbol fluctuation pattern judgment tables (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) as shown in FIGS. 11 to 12. This is a determination for determining (special figure fluctuation pattern), and is performed regardless of whether the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot or a loss. The special figure variation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items relating to a special figure variation time, an effect flow (effect contents) of a special figure variation effect described later, and the like. The special figure variation pattern can include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the reach determination in addition to the special figure variation time and the production flow (production contents) of the special figure fluctuation production. As the special figure fluctuation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns having different identification information can be used, and the number thereof can be changed as appropriate.

  The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol that is subjected to variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of the start port where the winning due to the special diagram variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table: FIG. 11) used when performing variable display of special figure 1 and the variable display of special figure 2 are performed. It is possible to distinguish the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used sometimes.

  Each special figure variation pattern determination table can also be associated with a gaming state. That is, as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time reduction special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-short-time state and the special figure 1 used in time-short state. It is possible to distinguish the fluctuation pattern determination table (time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is similarly used in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time reduction special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-short-time state and in the short-time state. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (short-time special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table).

  Each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, or a reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a reach loss, and a non-reach loss, respectively. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), reach loss, and non-reach loss, respectively.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the number of special figure holds. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for loss without reach. Further, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless lose can be associated with the number of special figure holds. For example, it is used when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for losing without reach.

  Then, the special figure display unit 81 performs variable display of the special figure of the special figure fluctuation time according to the special figure fluctuation pattern determined in each special figure fluctuation pattern determination. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (result of the special chart lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not immediately performed and the jackpot game is subsequently executed. The

  Further, each special figure variation pattern can be associated with the production flow of the special figure variation effect as shown in the second column from the right in the tables of FIGS.

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the tables of FIGS. 11 to 12, the special figure variation pattern may be given a name in association with the special figure (big hit determination result) and the contents of the special figure variation production. is there. For example, a special figure fluctuation pattern related to jackpot is called “jackpot fluctuation”. On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed among the loses with reach is called “SP loss fluctuation”, and the L reach, which is a type of reach, among the loses with reach, is performed. The figure fluctuation pattern is “L Loss fluctuation”, and among the losses with reach, the special figure fluctuation pattern where the special figure fluctuation production ends with N reach, which is a type of reach, is “N lose fluctuation”, without reach. Such a special figure fluctuation pattern is referred to as “normal loss fluctuation”.

3-2-5. Pre-reading determination Pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using one or a plurality of pre-reading determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure related random numbers. The look-ahead determination includes, for example, a determination as to whether or not a special symbol random number is determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot determination, a determination as to which jackpot symbol type the jackpot symbol type random number is determined in the jackpot symbol type determination, There are, for example, determination as to which special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the special figure fluctuation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of the start port related to the start winning. That is, as a pre-reading determination table, a pre-reading determination table (first pre-reading determination table) when winning at the first start port 11 and a pre-reading determination table (second pre-reading determination table) when winning at the second start port 12 , Can be distinguished.

  Further, the prefetch determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, the prefetch determination table used in the non-short-time state (non-temporal pre-read determination table) and the pre-read determination table (time-short pre-read determination table) used in the short-time state are distinguished as the pre-read determination table. It is possible.

  That is, the prefetch determination table includes a first prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state, a first pre-read determination table used in the time-short state, and a second pre-read determination table used in the non-time-short state. And the second prefetch determination table used in the time-short state can be distinguished. Note that what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination can be changed as appropriate.

3-3. Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes a plurality of round games that involve opening and closing of the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) and the first round game after the big hit game is started. It includes an opening (also expressed as OP) and an ending (also expressed as ED) from the end of the final round game until the end of the jackpot game. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP or ED. In the following, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as “round”. For example, the first round game (first round) is called “1 round (1R)”, and the 10th round game is called “10 rounds (10R)”.

  The elements constituting such a jackpot game (a jackpot game component) include the number of round games, the number of times of opening of the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) in each round game, Includes the type and opening time (opening pattern) of each winning prize opening, opening time (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or a plurality of jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more types of jackpot games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, a round game in which the first grand prize opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or the first big prize opening 14 for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. Opening round game is performed. In 16R (final round), there is a round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second big prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. Done. In each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the big prize opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the big prize openings 14, 15 has elapsed, End the round game.

  Further, the number of times and the time in each element can be changed as appropriate. Further, the jackpot game can be performed using both the first grand prize winning port 14 and the second grand prize winning port 15, or using only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. Since the specific region 16 takes a closed state in which a prize cannot be awarded and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k, the operating mode of the distribution member 16k can be referred to as an open / close mode of the specific region 16. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the sorting member 16k is also referred to as “opening / closing mode of the specific region 16”. In this way, the sorting member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (the specific region 16 is a constant opening / closing mode), but the constant operation mode of the sorting member 16k (the constant opening / closing mode of the specific region 16), In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (ease) of making the game ball enter the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. Hereinafter, the specific region 16 being in the open state is also referred to as “V open”.

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big prize opening starts, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is opened for 29.5 seconds at the maximum, the opening time and timing of the second big prize opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is opened for 0.1 seconds at the maximum, the opening time and timing of the second big prize opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) that the game ball passes through the specific area 16 (the game ball enters the specific area 16). Thus, in the jackpot game, during the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member has a first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that allows easy passage of the game ball through the specific area 16 (hereinafter also referred to as “V passing pattern”). The VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult to pass the specific area 16 of the game ball. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as “V long jackpot”. On the other hand, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated in the V short opening pattern is referred to as “V short jackpot”.

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state”, “high probability high base gaming state” and “ The game state can be any one of the “hit game state”. “Low probability low base gaming state” is “low probability low base state”, “low probability high base gaming state” is “low probability high base state”, and “high probability low base gaming state” is “high probability The “low base state” and the “high probability high base game state” can be abbreviated as “high probability high base state”, respectively. As the states constituting the gaming state, there are a state related to the probability of being determined as “big hit” in the jackpot determination, and a state related to the ease of opening of the electric Chu 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-short-time state and a short-time state.

  The normal probability state is a state that is set in the “low probability low base gaming state” or the “low probability high base gaming state”, and the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot is a normal probability. The high probability state is a state that is set in the “high probability low base gaming state” or the “high probability high base gaming state”, and the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal probability state. When power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a normal probability state is set. And it becomes possible to switch from a normal probability state to a high probability state by winning a jackpot. For example, in a jackpot game, it is possible to switch to a high probability state when a game ball passes through the specific area 16. It is also possible to switch to a high probability state depending on the type of jackpot symbol. In the high-probability state, it is possible to switch from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state by performing a jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning a jackpot or winning the next jackpot.

  The non-time-short state is set in the “low probability low base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state”, or “big hit gaming state”. The short-time state is set in the “low-probability high-base game state” or “high-probability high-base game state”. It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-short time state. In the short-time state, the special-figure variation pattern determination is performed using a special-figure variation pattern determination table that is determined so that the number of special-figure variation patterns with a short special-figure variation time is selected more than in the non-time-short state. It is also possible to do this (see FIGS. 11 to 12). As a result, in the short-time state, the special-patch holding pace is accelerated, and an effective winning (a winning that can be stored as a special-pending hold) at the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit with smooth progress of the game.

  In addition, the time reduction state can easily make the normal time change time shorter than the non-time reduction state. For example, in the short-time state, the normal time fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the normal time fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time-short state is determined. Therefore, the number of times of the general drawing lottery per unit time is larger in the short time state.

  In addition, it is possible to make it easier for the time-short state to be determined as a win in the hit determination than in the non-time-short state. For example, in the short-time state, the hit is determined with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability (for example, 6600/65536) that is determined to be a hit in the non-time-short state. Therefore, the number of times that the time reduction state is determined to be successful in the hit determination per unit time is larger.

  As described above, in the time reduction state, the open time of the electric chews 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time reduction state, and it is easy for the game balls to win frequently at the second start port 12. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot balls, becomes high. Therefore, in a short time state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a big win without significantly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the short-time state is more advantageous to the player than the non-short-time state.

  When the power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the non-time-saving state is set. And, for example, a short time state can be set by winning a jackpot. In the short-time state, it is possible to change from the short-time state to the non-short-time state by making a jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning a jackpot or by winning the next jackpot.

  In the short-time state, it is easier to win a win, the normal fluctuation time is likely to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric Chu 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time-short state. The game according to the usual figure is set to be advantageous to the player in three respects. However, some of the points that are advantageously set for the player may be included.

  The gaming state after the power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a “low probability low base gaming state” in which a normal probability state and a non-time-short state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as a “normal gaming state”. In the “hit game state”, the hit determination is performed but the jackpot determination is not performed. Therefore, the non-short-time state is set as the jackpot game is started. As for the gaming state, it is possible to use all of the gaming state described above or only a part thereof.

4). Next, main effects performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The production mode is a division of production (or higher conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability variation effect mode, a time reduction effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as effect modes.

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure variation effects are performed in “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state” and “high probability high base gaming state”. It is an effect mode that can be set when there is not, and indicates a standby state in which no special figure variation effect is performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-1), a customer waiting demonstration video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demo video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. Is displayed. Settings related to effects include volume setting of sound output from the speaker 52, luminance setting of the display unit 50a ("light quantity setting"), frequency setting of effects to be executed ("effect setting"), and the like.

  The normal performance mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the “low probability low base game state” or the “high probability low base game state” and indicates a non-time-short state. is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-1, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. As shown in FIG. 16B-2, a second normal effect mode in which a background image (evening normal background image G103) representing the evening mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a, and FIG. As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (night-time normal background image G104) representing a night mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. It is switched as one condition that the special figure variation effect is performed one or more times. Further, each of the first to third normal performance modes includes a normal first stage production mode before reach is established and a normal rear stage production mode after reach is established in the special figure variation production. In the normal front stage production mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. A corresponding background image is displayed. Further, a special performance mode that is set only in the “high probability low base gaming state” may be provided.

  The probability variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the “high probability high base game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates a high probability state and a short time state. In the probability changing effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-4, a background image (probability changing background image G105) representing the universe is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the probability variation effect mode includes a probability variation pre-stage effect mode before reach is established and a probability change post-stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the pre-change change effect mode, the probability change background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the post-change change effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The short time effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a special figure variation effect is being performed in the “low probability high base game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates a normal probability state and a short time state. In the time reduction effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-5), a background image representing the sky (time reduction background image G106) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the short-time effect mode includes a short-time pre-stage effect mode before reach is established and a short-time post-stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the pre-time reduction effect mode, the time-shortening background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the time-shortage post-effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being played in the “hit game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates that a jackpot game is being played. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-1, on the display unit 50a, the opening image G107 suggesting the start of the jackpot game or the right for prompting “right hit” A jackpot opening effect in which the hit image G108 is displayed is performed. During the round in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-2, the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls that have been paid out. Round production will be performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-3, the display unit 50a suggests the ending image G111 indicating the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of paid-out balls. The jackpot ending effect is displayed in which the total prize ball number image G112 to be displayed is displayed.

  In addition, about the kind of effect mode, it is possible to change or add suitably.

4-2. Next, the special figure fluctuation effect (also simply referred to as “fluctuation effect”) will be described. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a special figure variation pattern and a special figure lottery result (a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, a reach determination result, and The special figure variation effect is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result). In the special figure variation effect, the display unit 50a displays a variation of the effect symbol in a superimposed manner on a predetermined background image. The production symbol is composed of, for example, numeric symbols 1 to 9, and in the variation display of the production symbol, the production symbol fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the production symbol with the end of the variable display of the special figure Stops. That is, after the special symbol variation time and the effect symbol variation display are performed, the variation is stopped, and the effect symbol stop display is performed. And the result of a special figure lottery is alert | reported by the stop display of an effect design.

  In the special drawing variation effect, in addition to the effect symbol variation display, the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the normal button 40, the special button 41, etc. It is possible to perform other effects using a simple effect device. In this case, other effects can be continuously performed even after the effect symbol is stopped and displayed.

4-2-1. Effect symbol display area As shown in FIG. 17A, the display 50a of the image display device 50 has a left effect on each of the left side, the center, and the right side of the display unit 50a divided into three substantially horizontally. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol stop display is performed in the special symbol variation effect. Similarly, the medium effect symbol area 50b2 and the right effect symbol area 50b3 are areas in which the medium effect symbol EZ2 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, a small symbol region 50c can be provided in a section of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end portion of the display unit 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the special symbol variable display is performed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are composed of numeric symbols 1 to 9, for example.

  In FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol region 50b1, the middle effect symbol region 50b2, the right effect symbol region 50b3, and the small symbol region 50c are clearly indicated by a two-dot chain line, but this is the left effect symbol region 50b1. These are described to represent the ranges of the medium effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c, and are not actually displayed.

4-2-2. Normal fluctuation The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can first perform a normal fluctuation in the special figure fluctuation effect. The normal variation functions as an effect that suggests that variable display of the special figure has started.

  When the special display variable display is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. The left small symbol KZ1, the medium small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped, the variable display of the special figure is not performed, and the state of waiting for the variable display of the special figure from FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, with the start, the change display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the change display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. Note that “↓” in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbol variation is being displayed. When the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “normal loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 17C-1, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different. After the temporary stop in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17D, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode (so-called disparity) that suggests a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed together in a stop mode that suggests a loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a loss, such as “1, 1, 2” and “2, 4, 6”, where the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern with a reach such as “N loss fluctuation”, for example, as shown in FIG. And the right effect design EZ3 temporarily stop in the same stop mode (so-called reach eyes), and reach is established. At this time, the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special diagram variation pattern is performed. In addition, the stop order and stop mode of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-3. N-reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N-reach when reach is established in normal fluctuations. The N reach is an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that the result of the jackpot determination is a “hit”, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18A, the state where the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. Will slow down. When the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 18C-1, a stop mode (so-called reach lose eye) suggesting reach loss is produced. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all together in a stop mode that suggests reach loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest reach loss, such as “7, 6, 7” and “5, 3, 5”, in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbol is different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N big hit fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. indicate. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a big hit, such as “7, 7, 7” and “2, 2, 2”, which have the same left and right symbols. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. It should be noted that the effect content of N reach is not limited to the moderate effect symbol EZ2 gradually decelerating, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP Reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the result of the jackpot determination is a “hit” is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In SP reach, after N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 19A, a background image dedicated to SP reach (SP reach background image G113) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and SP is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 representing the start of reach is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19B, an SP reach exclusive effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP reach exclusive effect is reached, when the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “SP jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. At 50a, an effect that suggests a jackpot (for example, a display in which the main character is delighted to win the battle) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped in a stop mode that suggests a jackpot (a so-called doublet) indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. On the other hand, when the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “SP loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-2), an effect suggesting the loss (for example, an enemy character in battle) Display that is delighted to win) is performed, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop display in a stop mode that suggests reach lose. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed together in a stop mode that suggests a loss. It should be noted that the effect content of SP reach can be changed or added as appropriate.

  Here, the possibility that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach will be stopped in a manner that indicates a jackpot (expected degree of jackpot) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot determination. For example, when the execution probability of N reach is 10% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is “hit”, the execution probability of the SP reach is If the jackpot determination result is “losing” and 4%, and if the jackpot determination result is “hit”, 100%, the SP reach jackpot expectation is higher than the N reach jackpot expectation It can be set high. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, and the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”. In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, and 30% when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”. For example, the SP jackpot expectation degree of SP reach B can be set higher than the SP jackpot expectation degree of SP reach A. In this way, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

5). Control of Game by the Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, game control by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that a counter, a timer, a buffer, and the like that appear in the game control by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

[1. Main control main process]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the game control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads and executes the main control main process program shown in FIG. 23 from the game ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, access permission setting to the gaming RAM 104, gaming CPU 102 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for interrupt time management) setting and the like are performed.

  Subsequent to the power-on process, interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is completed, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, the main timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, at a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main timer interrupt process (S005) is completed and before the main timer interrupt process (S005) is started, various normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processes (S003) are performed. The update process of the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

Do. The sensor detection process, the normal operation process, and the special operation process will be described later.

  After the special operation process (S106), a sorting apparatus control process for controlling the sorting apparatus 16D is performed (S107).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108), and ends the main timer interrupt processing (S005). As other processing (S108), a power-off monitoring process when the power is turned off, a timer provided in the game RAM 104, and the like are performed. As other processing (S108), payout control processing for paying out a prize ball to the player is performed. In the payout control process, a prize ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 in accordance with the winning of a game ball at each winning opening. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out a prize ball based on the prize ball request signal.

  The game control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processes of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main process until the next interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 (see FIG. 23), and the interrupt pulse is input. (After about 4 msec), the main timer interruption process (S005) is executed again. In the output process (S101) of the main timer interrupt process (S005) executed again, the game control microcomputer 101 sets the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main timer interrupt process (S005).

The special symbol variation process is a process performed during variable display of the special symbol. In the special symbol variation process, when the special symbol variation time elapses, the special symbol display unit 81 terminates the variable symbol display and stops the special symbol corresponding to the jackpot determination result. If the jackpot determination result is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol indicating the jackpot is stopped and displayed, and if the jackpot determination result is a loss, the lose symbol indicating the loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special figure fluctuation stop command indicating the end of variable display of the special figure is generated.

[2-3-3. Special symbol confirmation process]
The special symbol determination process is a process performed when the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol determination process, when the special symbol currently stopped and displayed is a jackpot symbol, the game is shifted to the jackpot gaming state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command includes information related to the result of the jackpot type determination. In addition, when the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the high probability state is terminated, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high probability end command indicating the transition to the normal probability state is generated. When the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time-short state is to be ended, the non-time-short state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating the transition to the non-time saving state is generated. If the special figure currently stopped is a lost symbol and the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are “0”, the customer wait indicating that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in a standby state. Generate a command.

[2-3-4. Big hit game control processing]
The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is performed using the jackpot game control table. After the transition to the jackpot game state, each round game is started according to the elapse of the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. Also, the ending is started in response to finishing the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process that is performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the gaming state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. When the duration of the high probability state is limited, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of special display variable displays that can continue the high probability state without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a high probability setting command indicating the setting of the high probability state is generated. When changing from the non-time saving state to the time saving state, the time saving state is set when the jackpot gaming state ends. When the duration of the short-time state is limited, the duration of the short-time state (for example, the number of special display variable displays that can continue the short-time state without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a time reduction setting command indicating the setting of the time reduction state is generated.

  Note that the commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6). Production Control by Production Control Microcomputer 121 Next, production control by production control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. It should be noted that counters, timers, flags, buffers, and the like that appear in the following description of control of effects by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub-control main process]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out and executes the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, a power-on process corresponding to power-on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the CPU 122 for production, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, interruption is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for making determinations regarding various effects are updated. As an example, the update method of the effect determination random number counter for various effects can be the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above. Random values may not be added one by one at the time of update, but may be added two by two. The same applies to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  When the random number seed update process ends, a command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a in accordance with the received command (executes various effects based on the image). In addition to the various effects performed by the image control board 140, the sub-control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound), and lamp control. The frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 are caused to emit light via the circuit 151 (perform various light emission effects by light emission), and the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are actuated (various movable body effects depending on the operation). Or run).

  Next, the production control microcomputer 121 permits interruption (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interrupt is permitted, the reception interrupt process (S4010) and the sub timer interrupt process (S4011) can be executed.

  The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the effect control microcomputer 121 stores various commands transmitted and received in the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124. This reception interrupt process is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4011).

[2. Sub timer interrupt processing]
The sub timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed every time an interrupt pulse having a predetermined period (for example, 1 msec period) is input to the sub control board 120. In the sub timer interruption process (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, the input process (S4101), the light emission data output process (S4102), the movable device control process (S4103), the watchdog timer process (S4104), and the received command analysis A process (S4105), an effect timer update process (S4106), an audio control process (S4107), and an effect data creation process (S4108) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit that can be operated by the player, such as the normal button detection switch 40a and the special button detection switch 41a, is detected. In the light emission data output process, the light emission data is generated so that the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 emit light based on the production data created in the production data creation process, which will be described later. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, drive data is output in order to perform a movable body effect that operates the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 at a predetermined timing based on the production data created in the production data creation process. To do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a movable body effect that operates the movable devices 55, 56, 58, and the like in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In watchdog timer processing, the watchdog timer is reset.

  In the received command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 by the reception interrupt process (S4010) is analyzed, and the process corresponding to the command (for example, selecting an effect, setting an effect mode, setting a command, etc.) I do. In the effect timer update process, a timer for measuring the time related to each effect is updated. In the voice control process, voice data (data for controlling voice output from the speaker 52) is created and output to the voice control circuit 161 based on the processing result of the received command analysis process. In the production data creation process, production data is created based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the basic embodiment described above is also applied to the first embodiment.

  First, the jackpot determination performed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. When the game control microcomputer 101 performs a jackpot determination when the gaming state is a high probability state, the gaming control microcomputer 101 can perform a fall determination that determines whether or not to switch from the high probability state to the normal probability state. The gaming ROM 103 stores a fall determination table shown in FIG. When the game ball wins the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, the game control microcomputer 101 acquires a falling random number in addition to the special figure related random number shown in FIG. 1 is stored as the special figure 1 hold or the special figure 2 hold in the hold storage unit 105a or the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b. Specifically, the special figure related random number and the falling random number acquired when the game ball wins the first starting port 11 is stored in the special figure 1 storage unit 105a, and the game ball is stored in the second starting port 12. The special figure related random number and the falling random number obtained by winning are stored in the special figure 2 storage unit 105b. In the first embodiment, the upper limit of the special figure 1 hold number that can be stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a is "4", and the upper limit of the special figure 2 hold number that can be stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b is “4”.

  The falling random number is a random number for performing the falling determination, and includes a determination value of 0 to 79 as shown in FIG. The game control microcomputer 101 performs a fall determination using the fall determination table immediately before the jackpot determination is performed in the special figure 1 determination process or the special figure 2 determination process. Note that the fall determination is not performed when the gaming state is the normal probability state.

  In the fall determination table, the fall random number determination values are assigned to “fall winning” and “fall non-win” as the results of the fall determination. In the fall determination, the game control microcomputer 101 collates the fall random number stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a or the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b with the fall determination table, and determines whether or not "fall falls" It is determined whether it is “winning”. If the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines that the game is “falling winning” (when the falling random number value is “7”), the gaming state is switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state, When it is determined that there is a fall (when the fall random number value is other than “7”), the gaming state is not switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state. In other words, if it is determined to be a “winning for fall”, a jackpot determination is performed using the normal probability jackpot determination table, and if it is determined to be “not for falling,” it is a jackpot using the high probability jackpot determination table. A determination is made. The falling winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

  Next, the jackpot game that can be executed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game ROM 103 stores a jackpot game control table shown in FIG. The game control microcomputer 101 can execute a jackpot game using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. In the first embodiment, the jackpot game is executed using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 28, but the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 14 may be used in combination.

  In the jackpot symbol type determination in the special symbol 1 determination process, the game control microcomputer 101 can determine either “big jackpot symbol 1” or “jackpot symbol 2”. On the other hand, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special symbol 2 determination process, it is possible to determine either “jackpot symbol 3” or “jackpot symbol 4”.

  In the jackpot symbol type determination in the special symbol 1 determination process, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the jackpot symbol type at a ratio of 70% for “big jackpot symbol 1” and 30% for “big jackpot symbol 2”. On the other hand, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special symbol 2 determination process, the type of jackpot symbol is determined at a ratio of 70% for the jackpot symbol 3 and 30% for the jackpot symbol 4. As shown in FIG. 28, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a jackpot game according to the determined jackpot symbol type. Note that the determination ratio of the jackpot symbol type can be changed as appropriate.

  Here, the jackpot game will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 28, in the “jackpot game 1” that is executed when the “jackpot symbol 1” is determined and the “jackpot game 2” that is executed when the “jackpot symbol 2” is determined, Round game is played 16 times. From the first round to the eighth round, the first grand prize opening 14 is opened for 29.5 seconds at the maximum per round game, and from the 9th round to the 16th round, the maximum per 0.1 round game is 0.1. The first grand prize opening 14 is opened over a second. In the jackpot game from 9R to 16R, the opening time of the first grand prize opening 14 is extremely short, and in reality, it is a round in which the prize winning to the first big prize opening 14 cannot be expected. That is, the total number of round games in this jackpot game is 16, but the actual number of round games is 8.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the “big hit game 3” executed when the “big hit symbol 3” is determined and the “big hit game 4” executed when the “big hit symbol 4” is determined as shown in FIG. In addition, 16 round games are played. In all of the first round to the 16th round, the first grand prize winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per round game. That is, in this jackpot game, the total number of round games and the actual number of round games are 16 times.

  Therefore, the “big hit game 3” or the “big hit game 4” in which the number of substantial round games is 16 is “the big hit game 1” or “the big hit game 2” in which the actual number of round games is eight. The jackpot game state in which the “jackpot game 3” or the “jackpot game 4” is executed is the jackpot game state in which “the jackpot game 1” or “the jackpot game 2” is executed. It can be said that the gaming state is more advantageous to the player.

  Next, game states that can be controlled by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 can save time even after the jackpot game state in which any of the jackpot games of “jackpot game 1”, “jackpot game 2”, “jackpot game 3”, and “jackpot game 4” is executed. Set the state. In addition, after the jackpot gaming state in which any one of the jackpot game 1 or the jackpot game 3 is executed, a high probability state is set, while the jackpot game 2 and the jackpot game 4 are set. After the jackpot gaming state in which any jackpot game is executed, the high probability state is not set (the normal probability state is set). Therefore, after the jackpot gaming state in which either of the jackpot game 1 or the jackpot game 3 is executed, a high probability state and a short time state are set to a “high probability high base gaming state”. After the jackpot gaming state in which either of the jackpot game 2 or the jackpot game 4 is executed, the normal probability state and the short time state are set to the “low probability high base gaming state”. In the first embodiment, the “high probability high base gaming state” can be continued until it is determined to be “falling winning” by the fall determination and until it is determined to be a big win by the jackpot determination. is there. On the other hand, the “low probability high base gaming state” can be continued until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times.

  Therefore, “big hit game 1” or “big hit game 3”, which is set with a high probability state after that, is more advantageous to the player than “big hit game 2” or “big hit game 4”, which is not set with a high probability state thereafter. It can be said that the game is a jackpot game, and the jackpot game state in which “jackpot game 1” or “jackpot game 3” is executed is more to the player than the jackpot game state in which “jackpot game 2” or “jackpot game 4” is executed. It can be said that it is an advantageous gaming state.

  Here, in the case of “high probability high base gaming state”, a description will be given of a short-time state when it is determined that “fall-winning” is determined by a fall determination, and a short-time state when it is determined that a big hit is determined by a jackpot determination. To do. Even if it is determined that the game control microcomputer 101 is “falling winning” in the fall determination until the number of times of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times after the “high probability high base gaming state”. Do not switch from the short-time state to the non-short-time state. For example, when it is determined that the “fall winning” is determined in the 50th special map variable display, the high probability state is switched to the normal probability state as shown in FIG. It is not possible to switch from a state to a non-time-short state. Thereafter, when the variable display and the stop display of the 100th special figure are finished, the time-short state is switched to the non-time-short state. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the “high probability high base gaming state” from the first to the 49th time, the “low probability high base gaming state” from the 50th to the 100th time, and the “low” from the 101st time. "Probability low base gaming state".

  On the other hand, the game control microcomputer 101 did not determine that it was “falling winning” in the fall determination even when the number of variable display of the special figure after the “high probability high base gaming state” reached 100 times. In some cases, the time-saving state is continued thereafter. Then, if it is determined that the “falling win” is determined in the subsequent fall determination, when the variable display of the special figure is started, the time reduction state is switched to the non-time reduction state. For example, when it is determined that the “falling winning” is determined by the falling determination related to the variable display of the 120th special figure, as shown in FIG. 29B, at the start timing of the variable display of the 120th special figure, The high probability state is switched to the normal probability state, and the short time state is switched to the non-short time state. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the “high probability high base gaming state” from the first to the 119th time, and the “low probability low base gaming state” after the 120th time.

  Further, when the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the jackpot determination is “big hit” until the variable display count of the special figure reaches 100 times after the “high probability high base gaming state” is reached, The time saving state is continued until the variable display and the stop display of the special figure based on the determination are completed. On the other hand, if the number of variable display of the special figure after becoming the “high probability high base gaming state” is 101st or later, if it is determined that the jackpot determination is “big hit”, the variable display of the special figure based on the determination When starting, switch from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state. For example, when it is determined that the jackpot determination related to the 120th special figure variable display is “big jackpot”, as shown in FIG. 29C, the time is reduced at the start timing of the 120th special chart variable display. Switch from state to non-short state. In other words, when the number of special display variable displays in the short-time state is the 101st and subsequent times, even if it is determined to be “winning fall” in the fall determination, it is determined to be “big win” in the jackpot determination. Even in this case, the switching from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state can be performed at the same timing (start of variable display of the special figure). For this reason, depending on the switching from the short-time state to the non-short-time state, it is impossible to determine whether it is determined as “falling winning” in the fall determination or “big hit” in the jackpot determination. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the “high probability high base gaming state” from the first time to the 119th time, and the 120th time is “high probability low base gaming state”.

  In addition, the game RAM 104 is provided with a number storage unit (not shown) for storing the number of special display variable displays, and the game control microcomputer 101 sets the special display variable display after setting the time reduction state. By updating the number stored in the number storage unit in response to the start, it is possible to count the number of times of variable display of the special figure after setting the time reduction state. The number of times stored in the number storage unit is reset when the next jackpot game is performed.

  Next, the special figure 2 variation pattern that can be determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game ROM 103 includes a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 30A, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table B shown in FIG. 30B, and a special figure 2 shown in FIG. 30C. A fluctuation pattern determination table C, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 30D, and a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table E shown in FIG. 30E are stored. The game control microcomputer 101 includes a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table A, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table B, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table C, and a special figure shown in FIG. 30 (A) to FIG. The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern can be determined using the two fluctuation pattern determination table D or the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table E. In the first embodiment, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination tables A to E shown in FIGS. 30A to 30E are used, but the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 is also used. It can also be used.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination process in the short time state, the game control microcomputer 101 is based on the jackpot probability state, the jackpot determination result, the reach determination result, the special figure fluctuation pattern random number, and the number of variable display of the special figure. Then, the special figure 2 variation pattern is determined. As shown in FIG. 30 (A) to FIG. 30 (E), 19 types of “THP001” to “THP009”, “THP011” to “THP018”, and “THP021” to “THP022” are shown as the special figure 2 variation patterns. It is possible to determine the special figure 2 variation pattern. Which special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is determined depends on the special figure fluctuation pattern random number.

  The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A indicates the number of times the special figure is variably displayed in the short-time state after the “bonanza game 1”, “jackpot game 2”, “jackpot game 3”, and “jackpot game 4” are executed. The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B is used for the first to 99th times, and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B indicates that the number of special figure variable display in the short-time state after the “big hit game 1” and “big hit game 3” are executed is 100. The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C is used for the second time, and the special figure variable display count in the short time state after the “big hit game 1” and “big hit game 3” is executed is the 101st time or later. The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the short-time state after the “big hit game 2” and “big hit game 4” is executed is the 100th time. It is. The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table E is switched from the short-time state to the non-short-time state after “big hit game 1”, “big hit game 2”, “big hit game 3”, and “big hit game 4” are executed. This is used when the number of times of special display of the special figure is 1st to 10th. It should be noted that the number of special display variable displays in which each special figure 2 variation pattern determination table is used can be appropriately changed.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, the three kinds of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns “THP001” to “THP003” are used regardless of the state of the big hit probability. One of them is determined. Of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP002” is easier to determine than the other special figure 2 fluctuation patterns. “THP001” is called “immediate jackpot fluctuation”, “THP002” is called “confrontation jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP003” is called “confrontation / revival jackpot fluctuation”.

  Further, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the result of the reach determination is “with reach”, the special figure 2 variation patterns “THP011” to “THP012” regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. One of the two types is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns, “THP011” is more easily determined than “THP012”. “THP011” is referred to as “confrontation loss fluctuation”, and “THP012” is referred to as “confrontation / recovery loss fluctuation”.

  Further, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the result of the reach determination is “no reach”, the special figure 2 variation patterns “THP021” to “THP022” regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. One of the two types is determined. Which of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns is determined depends on the number of special figure 2 reservations. When the special figure 2 holding number is 0 to 1, “THP021” having a relatively long special figure fluctuation time of 13000 ms is easily determined, and when the special figure 2 holding number is 2 to 4, the special figure “THP022” having a relatively short fluctuation time of 4000 ms is easily determined. “THP021” is referred to as “normal A loss fluctuation”, and “THP022” is referred to as “normal B loss fluctuation”.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns “THP004” to “THP005” are available regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. One of them is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns, “THP005” is more easily determined than “THP004”. “THP004” is referred to as “branch jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP005” is referred to as “branch / recovery jackpot fluctuation”.

  In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in a high probability state (when it is determined that all the 100 falling determinations are “no fall”). As the variation pattern in FIG. 2, one of the two types “THP013” to “THP014” is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns, “THP014” is more easily determined than “THP013”. “THP013” is referred to as “branch / successful loss fluctuation”. “THP014” is referred to as “branch / revival / successful loss fluctuation”.

  In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in the normal probability state (when it is determined that “falling winning” is found in any of 100 falling determinations), As a variation pattern in FIG. 2, only “THP015” is determined. “THP015” is referred to as “branch / recovery / failure fluctuation”.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, the special figure 2 fluctuation patterns are “THP001”, “THP006” to “THP007”, regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. Any one of the three types is determined. Of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP007” is easier to determine than the other special figure 2 fluctuation patterns. “THP006” is referred to as “decision jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP007” is referred to as “settlement / revival jackpot fluctuation”.

  In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is the normal probability state (when it is determined that “falling winning” is determined by the falling determination), as a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern, Only “THP016” is determined. “THP016” is referred to as “settlement / revival / failure fluctuation”.

  In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in a high probability state (when it is determined that “falling is not won” in the falling determination), a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is obtained. , “THP021” to “THP022” are determined. Which of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns is determined depends on the number of special figure 2 reservations. When the number of reserved special figure 2 is 0 to 1, “THP021” is easily determined, and when the number of reserved special figure 2 is 2 to 4, “THP022” is easily determined.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table D, when the result of the big hit determination is “big hit”, “THP008” is determined as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern, and when the result of the big hit determination is “lost” Then, “THP017” is determined as the special figure 2 variation pattern. “THP008” is referred to as “result jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP017” is referred to as “result loss fluctuation”.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table E, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, “THP009” is determined as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern, and when the result of the big hit determination is “lost” Then, “THP018” is determined as the special figure 2 variation pattern. “THP009” is referred to as “revenge jackpot fluctuation” and “THP018” is referred to as “revenge loss fluctuation”.

  Next, the prefetch determination performed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game ROM 103 stores a prefetch determination table A shown in FIG. 31A and a prefetch determination table B shown in FIG. The game control microcomputer 101 can make a prefetch determination using the prefetch determination table A or the prefetch determination table B shown in FIGS. 31 (A) and 31 (B). The prefetch determination includes a jackpot prefetch determination as to whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is determined to be a “big hit” in the jackpot determination, and the acquired special figure variation pattern random Variation pattern pre-reading determination as to whether or not the special figure variation pattern is determined, and fall pre-reading determination as to whether or not the acquired falling random number is determined to be “falling winning” in the falling determination. The game control microcomputer 101 determines a start winning command based on the result of the prefetch determination. In the first embodiment, the prefetch determination table A and the prefetch determination table B shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B are used, but the prefetch determination table shown in FIG. 13 may be used in combination. Is possible.

  The game control microcomputer 101 performs the jackpot prefetch determination result, the variation pattern prefetch determination result, the fall prefetch determination result, and the number of variable display of the special figure in the second start port sensor processing when the time reduction state is set. Based on the above, the start winning command is determined. As shown in FIG. 31 (A) and FIG. 31 (B), the start winning commands are “command 001” to “command 008”, “command 011” to “command 017”, “command 021” to “command 022”. 17 kinds of start winning commands can be determined.

  In addition, when the special figure 2 hold occurs in the time reduction state, the game control microcomputer 101 generates a special figure based on the special figure 2 hold based on the number of variable display of the special figure and the special figure 2 hold number in the short time state. It can be determined how many times the variable display corresponds to the variable display of the special figure in the short time state. For example, if a special figure 2 hold with a special figure 2 hold number of “2” occurs when the number of special figure variable displays in the short-time state is the 50th, the special figure variable display based on the special figure 2 hold is , It is determined to correspond to the 52nd special figure variable display. Then, the game control microcomputer 101 can determine the start winning command in accordance with the determination of how many times the special figure variable display based on the generated special figure 2 hold corresponds to the variable display of the special figure. .

  In addition, when the special figure 2 hold occurs after the number of times of the special figure variable display in the time reduction state is the 101st time or later, the game control microcomputer 101 has already made a “fall over winning decision” in the fall prefetch determination for the special figure 2 hold generated before that time. It can be determined whether or not the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in a non-time-saving state based on whether or not it is determined that Is possible. For example, when it is determined that “falling winning” is determined in the pre-drop determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the variable display of the special figure for the 120th time in the short-time state, the special figure corresponding to the variable display of the special figure for the 121st and subsequent times is determined. When the suspension of FIG. 2 occurs, it is determined that the variable display of the special figure based on the suspension of the special figure 2 is performed in a non-time-short state. Then, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the variable display of the special figure based on the generated special figure 2 suspension corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in a non-time-saving state. Can be determined.

  The prefetch determination table A is used when the number of current special figure variable displays in the time reduction state is the first to 100th times, and the prefetch determination table B is 101 in the current special figure variable display times in the time reduction state. Used after the first time.

  In the prefetch determination table A, when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big jackpot”, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination regardless of the result of the fall prefetch determination. If the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is “immediate jackpot variation”, “command 001” is determined, and if it is “confrontation jackpot variation”, “command 002” is determined, and “confrontation / revival jackpot variation” "Command 003" is determined, "command 004" is determined if "branch jackpot fluctuation", and "command 005" is determined if "branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation" Is done. When the number of special display variable displays corresponds to the 101st to 104th times, “command 008” is determined regardless of the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination.

  In addition, in the prefetch determination table A, when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “losing”, the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold that is the target of the prefetch determination is the 100th special figure in the short-time state. When it corresponds to other than variable display, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination, regardless of the result of the fall prefetch determination. If the result of the variation pattern pre-reading determination is “confrontation loss variation”, “command 011” is determined, and if it is “confrontation / resurrection loss variation”, “command 012” is determined, and “normal A loss” When it is “change”, “command 021” is determined, and when it is “normal B loss change”, “command 022” is determined. On the other hand, when the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 suspension to be subjected to the prefetch determination corresponds to the variable display of the 100th special figure in the short-time state, the result of the fall prefetch determination or the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is displayed. Accordingly, a start winning command is determined. If the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall not winning” and the result of the variation pattern prefetch is “branch / successful change”, “command 013” is determined, and the result of the fall prefetch determination is “no fall winning”. In addition, if the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is “branch / resurrection success loss variation”, “command 014” is determined, and if the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall winning”, “command 015” is determined. Is done. Note that if the number of special display variable displays corresponds to the 101st to 104th times, “command 017” is determined regardless of the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination.

  Here, the start winning command determined by the prefetch determination table A will be described. Since “command 008” and “command 017” are determined for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 101st to 104th times of the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is variable based on the special figure 2 hold. There are cases where the display is performed in a state where the time-short state is switched to the non-time-short state, and cases where the display is performed in a state where the time-short state is continued (see FIGS. 29A and 29B). The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table used is different between when the time-short state is switched to the non-time-short state and when the time-short state continues (see FIGS. 30C and 30E). In the pre-reading determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 101st to 104th variable display times, the result of the variation pattern pre-reading determination is not referred to, and only “command 008” or “ Command 017 "is determined.

  In addition, “command 013”, “command 014”, and “command 015” correspond to the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 suspension, which is the target of the prefetch determination, for the 100th special figure variable display in the short-time state. It is only decided when. As described above, in the variable display of the special figure for the 100th time in the short-time state, when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, the special figure 2 variation pattern includes “branch / successful loss variation”, “branch / resurrection / successful loss”. Only “change” or “branch / recovery / failure change” is determined (see FIG. 30B). Therefore, in the prefetch determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the variable display of the special figure for the 100th time in the short time state, “command 011”, “command 012”, “command 021”, and “command 022” are not determined. “Command 013”, “command 014”, and “command 015” are determined.

  In the prefetch determination table B, when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big jackpot”, the start winning command corresponding to the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is determined regardless of the result of the fall prefetch determination. If the result of the variation pattern look-ahead determination is “immediate jackpot variation”, “command 001” is determined, and if it is “decision jackpot variation”, “command 006” is determined, and “decision / revival jackpot variation” "Command 007" is determined. In addition, when it corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-short-time state (when it is already determined as “falling winning” in the fall prefetch determination), regardless of the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination, “ Command 008 "is determined.

  In the prefetch determination table B, when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “losing”, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the fall prefetch determination or the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination. If the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall not winning” and the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is “normal A loss fluctuation”, “command 021” is determined, and the result of the fall prefetch determination is “no fall winning” When the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is “normal B loss fluctuation”, “command 022” is determined, and when the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall winning”, “command 016” is determined. In addition, when it corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-short-time state (when it is already determined as “falling winning” in the fall prefetch determination), regardless of the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination, “ Command 017 "is determined.

  Here, the start winning command determined by the prefetch determination table B will be described. “Command 008” and “Command 017” are determined for the special figure 2 suspension related to the variable display of the special figure that is performed after switching to the non-short-time state. In the case of switching to the non-time reduction state, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E is used (see FIG. 30E), so that the special figure relating to the variable display of the special figure performed after the non-time reduction state is changed. In the prefetch determination for the 2 hold, the result of the variation pattern prefetch determination is not referred to, and “command 008” or “command 017” is determined based only on the result of the jackpot prefetch determination.

  Further, the “command 016” is determined only when it is determined that “falling winning” is determined in the falling determination with respect to the special figure 2 suspension to be subjected to the prefetch determination. As described above, when it is determined in the fall determination that the “falling winning” is made, the jackpot determination is performed in a state where the normal probability state is switched. In this case, only “Final / Restoration / Failure Loss Fluctuation” is determined as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern (see FIG. 30C). Therefore, in the pre-reading determination for the special figure 2 hold determined as “falling winning” in the falling determination, “command 021” and “command 022” are not determined, but “command 016” is determined. Yes.

  Next, an effect mode that can be set by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIG. The effect control microcomputer 121 can set “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode”, or “revenge mode” after the jackpot gaming state.

  The “super RUSH mode” is an effect mode that suggests a “high probability high base gaming state”, and is set in response to the start of the “high probability high base gaming state”. The “RUSH mode” is an effect mode that suggests a “low probability high base gaming state”, and is set in response to the start of the “low probability high base gaming state”. “Revenge mode” is a performance mode that suggests “low probability low base gaming state” and changes from “high probability high base gaming state” to “low probability low base gaming state” or “low probability It is set in response to the change from “high probability base gaming state” to “low probability low base gaming state”. Each effect mode is distinguished by the display on the display unit 50a. When the “super RUSH mode” is set, a band image with the characters “super RUSH mode” is displayed on the top of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 34A), and the “RUSH mode” is displayed. When it is set, a band image with the letters “RUSH mode” is displayed on the top of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 40A), and when “revenge mode” is set, A band image with the characters “revenge mode” is displayed on the upper portion of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 46B).

  FIG. 32A shows that after the jackpot gaming state, the “high probability high base gaming state” is entered, and after the variable display of the special figure at the 100 + αth time (α is an integer of 1 or more), it is “falling winning” in the falling judgment. It is a figure which shows transition A of the production mode in the case of being determined. When the “high probability high base gaming state” is started, the “super RUSH mode” is set. The “super RUSH mode” can be continued until the special figure variable display for 100 times is performed. If the “high probability high base gaming state” is maintained without being switched to the normal probability state by all the fall determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the “super RUSH mode”, the 101st special feature is maintained. The “super RUSH mode” continues after the variable display of the figure. This “super RUSH mode” continues until it is determined that the “falling win” is determined by the fall determination, or until it is determined that the “big win” is determined by the jackpot determination. During the “Super RUSH mode” of the variable display of the 100 + α special chart, if it is determined that the “falling winning” is determined by the falling determination, the “high probability high base gaming state” is changed to the “low probability low base gaming state”. However, the “super RUSH mode” continues even in the “low probability low base gaming state”. Then, the “revenge mode” is set according to the end of the variable display of the current special figure. The “revenge mode” continues until the variable display of the special figure for 10 times is performed or until the next jackpot game is executed. Note that the “super RUSH mode” may be ended in response to being determined as “falling winning” in the falling determination.

  FIG. 32 (B) shows the transition of the effect mode when the “high probability high base gaming state” after the jackpot gaming state is reached and the jackpot determination is determined to be “jackpot” after the variable display of the 100 + α special chart. FIG. When the “high probability high base gaming state” is started, the “super RUSH mode” is set. If the “high probability high base gaming state” is maintained without switching to the normal probability state by all the fall determinations relating to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the “super RUSH mode”, the 101st special figure The “super RUSH mode” continues after the variable display. After that, during the “super RUSH mode” of the variable display of the 100 + α special chart, if it is determined that the jackpot determination is “big hit”, the “high probability high base gaming state” to “high probability low base gaming state” However, the “super RUSH mode” continues even in this “high probability low base gaming state”. The jackpot effect mode is set according to the start of the jackpot gaming state. It should be noted that the “super RUSH mode” may be terminated when it is determined that the jackpot determination is “big jackpot”.

  FIG. 32 (C) shows a case where a “high probability high base gaming state” is entered after the jackpot gaming state, and it is determined that the “falling winning” is made by the fall judgment before the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is performed. It is a figure which shows transition C of production mode. When the “high probability high base gaming state” is started, the “super RUSH mode” is set. When it is switched to the normal probability state by any fall judgment related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the “super RUSH mode” and becomes the “low probability high base gaming state”, the special figure of the 100th time “Revenge mode” is set in response to the end of variable display (being “low probability low base gaming state”). The “revenge mode” continues until the variable display of the special figure for 10 times is performed or until the next jackpot game is executed. The “super RUSH mode” may be ended in response to being determined to be “lost” in the jackpot determination relating to the variable display of the 100th special figure.

  FIG. 32 (D) shows the effect mode when the game state becomes “low probability high base game state” after the jackpot game state, and is determined to be “losing” in all jackpot determinations relating to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times. It is a figure which shows the transition D of. When the “low probability high base gaming state” is started, the “RUSH mode” is set. The “RUSH mode” can be continued until the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is performed. If a bonus game is not played even if the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the “RUSH mode” is performed, the variable display of the special figure for the 100th time is finished (“low probability low base game state”) The “revenge mode” is set accordingly. The “revenge mode” continues until the variable display of the special figure for 10 times is performed or until the next jackpot game is executed. Note that the “RUSH mode” may be ended in response to being determined to be “lost” in the jackpot determination relating to the variable display of the 100th special figure.

  In addition, if the jackpot game is not performed even if the special display for 10 times is performed during the “revenge mode”, the normal performance mode is set in accordance with the start of the variable display of the 11th special chart. .

<Effects of First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the effect of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be described.

(1) After entering the “high probability high base gaming state”, the time reduction state continues regardless of the result of the fall judgment until the number of special display variable displays 100 times, which is immediately advantageous. It is possible to enhance the interest of the game without ending the gaming state.

(2) After entering the “high probability high base gaming state”, even if the number of variable display of the special figure is 100 times, if it is not determined that the “falling win” is determined by the fall determination, Therefore, the advantageous gaming state can be continued for a long time, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

(3) After the number of variable display of the special figure in the “high probability high base gaming state” exceeds 100 times, it is determined that the “falling win” is determined by the falling determination, and “big hit” is determined by the jackpot determination. Since it is determined that it is a short-time state at the same timing, whether it was determined that it was `` falling winning '' in the fall determination or `` big hit '' in the jackpot determination, It is possible to make it difficult to distinguish, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(4) After the number of variable display of the special figure in the “high probability high base gaming state” exceeds 100 times, it is determined that the “falling winning” is determined by the falling determination, and “big hit” is determined by the big winning determination Since there is a case where a common “settlement reach” is performed in the case where it is determined that it is, it is determined that it is determined that it is “falling winning” in the fall determination, or “big hit” is determined in the jackpot determination It is possible to make it difficult to determine whether the game has occurred, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(5) When the variable display of the 100th special figure in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, which are in the time-short state, is completed, and the non-short-time state is entered, and in the “ultra-RUSH mode”, which is in the time-short state When it is determined that the player has been determined to be a “falling winner” and enters a non-temporary short state, the common “revenge mode” is entered. It is possible to enhance interest.

Second Embodiment
The second embodiment will be described below. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the basic embodiment and the first embodiment described above is also applied to the second embodiment.

  First, with reference to FIG. 33 to FIG. 42, a special figure variation effect that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 according to the special figure 2 variation pattern determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the following effects in the special figure change effect.

A. Normal variation This is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of variable display of a special figure. Since it is performed first in the special figure variation effect, it functions as an effect suggesting that the special figure variation effect has been started.

B. Reach After the “normal fluctuation”, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped with the same symbol. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is “hit”, it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be performed. Moreover, since it may develop into reach production such as “confrontation reach”, “settlement reach”, etc., it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that the reach production will be performed.

C. The jackpot finalizing effect After the “normal fluctuation” in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, the on-board movable body 55k and the on-board movable body 56k move on the display unit 50a without establishing “reach”. Production. Since it may be performed only when the result of the jackpot determination is “big jackpot”, it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game is performed.

D. Confrontation Reach In the first to 99th special figure variation effects in “Super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, this is an effect that may be performed after “reach”, and a reach effect in which the hero character battles with an enemy character. is there. Since the case where the jackpot determination is “losing” is easier than when the jackpot determination result is “losing”, it functions as an effect that suggests that the possibility of playing the jackpot game is high.

E. Final Reach In the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”, it is an effect that may be performed after “reach”, and is a reach effect in which the main character battles with a strong enemy character. Since the case where the jackpot determination is “losing” is easier than when the jackpot determination result is “losing”, it functions as an effect that suggests that the possibility of playing the jackpot game is high. In addition, since it may be performed when the result of the fall determination is “fall falls,” it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility of switching from the high probability state to the normal probability state.

F. Branch effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, and is an effect in which the main character challenges the mission. Thereafter, since the time-short state may continue, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time-short state may continue. Moreover, since the time-short state may end after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the time-short state may end. Moreover, since a jackpot game may be performed after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed.

G. Result effect An effect that may be performed in the 100th special drawing variation effect in the “RUSH mode”, and an effect that suggests the end of the “RUSH mode”. After that, since the time-short state may be switched to the non-time-short state, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time-short state ends or the non-time-short state starts. In addition, after that, since there is a case of shifting to the “revenge mode”, it also functions as an effect suggesting shifting to the “revenge mode”.

H. Serif notice An effect that may be performed during “normal fluctuation” in the “super RUSH mode”, and a notice effect that the main character emits a serif. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is “hit”, it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be performed.

I. Resurrection production A
This is an effect that may be performed after the hero character is defeated by an enemy character in “Confrontation Reach”, and is an effect that the hero character tries to revive by the repeated operation of the normal button 40. After that, since a jackpot game may be performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed.

J. et al. Resurrection production B
This is an effect that may be performed after the hero character is defeated by a strong enemy character in the “settlement reach”, and is an effect that the hero character is trying to revive by the repeated operation of the normal button 40. After that, since a jackpot game may be performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed.

K. Resurrection production C
The “branch effect” is an effect that may be performed after the hero character fails in the mission, and the hero character re-attempts the mission by the continuous operation of the normal button 40. Thereafter, since the time-short state may continue, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time-short state may continue. Moreover, since a jackpot game may be performed after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed.

L. Jackpot announcement effect This is an effect that may be performed after the main character succeeds in the mission in the “branch effect” or “resurrection effect C”. After that, since the jackpot game is performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game is performed.

M.M. Resurrection reenactment A
This is an effect that may be performed after the hero character is defeated by an enemy character in “Confrontation Reach”, and the image of the normal button 40 is displayed in a fade-in manner. Thereafter, since “Restoration effect A” may be performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that “Restoration effect A” may be performed.

N. Resurrection Reenactment B
This is an effect that may be performed after the hero character has been defeated by a strong enemy character in “Final Reach”, and is an effect in which the image of the normal button 40 is displayed in a fade-in manner. Thereafter, since “Restoration effect B” may be performed, it functions as an effect that suggests that “Restoration effect B” may be performed.

  Next, the production flow of the main special figure variation production will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays an effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the effect flow, and according to the display of the effect image, a light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54, and a speaker. Sound production using 52 can be executed.

  In the special figure fluctuation effect in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “immediate jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 33 (A), an effect flow including “normal fluctuation” → “big hit finalizing effect” is executed.

  As shown in Fig. 33 (B), the special figure 2 variation pattern of "confrontation jackpot fluctuation" and "confrontation loss fluctuation" consists of "normal fluctuation"-> "reach"-> "confrontation reach". The production flow is executed. Although details will be described later, “revival resurrection effect A” may be performed in “confrontation reach” of “confrontation loss fluctuation”.

  In the special figure fluctuation production where the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation / revival jackpot fluctuation” and “confrontation / revival loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 33 (C), “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “confrontation reach” "→" Restoration effect A "is executed. Although details will be described later, “revival resurrection effect A” may be performed in “confrontation reach” of “confrontation / resurrection loss change” and “confrontation / revival loss change”.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (D), in the special figure variation effect in which the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “branch jackpot variation” and “branch / successful loss variation”, an effect flow including only “branch effect” is executed. The

  As shown in FIG. 33 (E), in the special figure fluctuation effect of the special figure 2 fluctuation patterns of “branch / revival jackpot fluctuation”, “branch / revival / successful loss fluctuation”, and “branch / revival / failure fluctuation fluctuation”, An effect flow composed of “branch effect” → “resurrection effect C” is executed.

  In the special figure fluctuation effect with the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern of “decision jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 33 (F), an effect flow composed of “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “final reach” is executed. The

  In the special figure variation effect in which the special pattern 2 fluctuation pattern is “decision / revival jackpot fluctuation” and “decision / revival / failure loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 33 (G), “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “ A production flow consisting of “reach reach” → “revival production B” is executed. Although details will be described later, “revival resurrection effect B” may be performed in “settlement reach” of “settlement / resurrection jackpot variation” and “settlement / resurrection / failure loss variation”.

  In the special figure fluctuation effect of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern of “result jackpot fluctuation” and “result loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 33 (H), an effect flow composed of only “result effect” is executed.

  In the special figure variation effect in which the special figure 2 variation pattern is “normal A loss variation” and “normal B loss variation”, an effect flow including only “normal variation” is executed (not shown).

  Next, the main effects executed in the special figure variation effect will be specifically described. In the special figure variation effect described below, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also displayed in addition to the variation symbols of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. To do. Further, in the special figure variation effect described below, the hold icon HA is also displayed in parallel, but the illustration of the hold icon HA is omitted.

  First, the “big hit finalizing effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “big hit finalizing effect” when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “immediate big hit fluctuation”. The “big hit finalizing effect” may be performed other than the 100th special drawing variation effect in the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode”. The “big hit finalizing effect” suggests the execution of “big hit game 3”.

  34 (A) to 34 (C) are diagrams showing a state where the “big hit finalizing effect” is performed. When the “normal variation” is started in the special figure variation effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. Thereafter, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses after the variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is started, the “big hit confirmation effect” is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (B), in the “big hit finalizing effect”, when all of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed, the on-board movable body 55k and the below-board movable body 56k are displayed. Appears on the part 50a. Specifically, the on-board movable body 55k is lowered from the normal standby state, and the below-board movable body 56k is raised from the normal standby state. Thereafter, the on-board movable body 55k and the on-board movable body 56k return to the normal standby state, and as shown in FIG. 34 (C), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 indicate a big hit (for example, “7. Stop display at “7-7”.

  Next, “Confrontation reach” and “Restoration effect A” will be described in detail. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute “confrontation reach” when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “confrontation jackpot variation”, “confrontation / revival jackpot variation”, “confrontation loss variation”, or “confrontation / revival loss variation”. When the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “confrontation / revival jackpot variation” or “confrontation / revival loss variation”, “revival effect A” can be executed. “Confrontation reach” and “Restoration effect A” may be performed in the first to 99th special figure variation effects in “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode”, but are not performed otherwise. In “Confrontation Reach” and “Restoration Production A”, the possibility of executing “Otsuka Game 3” is suggested.

  FIG. 35A to FIG. 35E are diagrams showing how “confrontation reach” is performed. When the “normal variation” is started in the special figure variation effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35B, when “reach” is established, “confrontation reach” is performed.

  In “confrontation reach”, as shown in FIG. 35C, the main character image G10 and the enemy character image G11 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character and the enemy character battle is displayed. Thereafter, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “confrontation jackpot variation”, as shown in FIG. 35 (D), the scene where the main character has won the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbol EZ1. , EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a jackpot (for example, a doublet of “5 · 5 · 5”). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “confrontation / revival jackpot variation”, “confrontation loss variation”, or “confrontation / resurrection loss variation”, as shown in FIG. The scene defeated by the character (the scene where the hero character falls) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and is stopped and displayed in a manner in which the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a loss (for example, reach reach of “5.6.5”). . After that, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation loss fluctuation”, the special figure fluctuation production is finished as it is, but the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation / revival jackpot fluctuation”, “confrontation / revival loss fluctuation”. "Is" Restoration effect A "is performed.

  FIG. 36A to FIG. 36E are diagrams showing a state where the “revival effect A” is performed. In “confrontation reach”, a scene in which the main character is defeated by an enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and when the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (see FIG. 35E), Before “Restoration effect A” is performed, “Resurrection effect A” is performed. The “revival resurrection effect A” may also be performed in the special figure variation effect of “confrontation loss variation”, which will be described in detail later.

  In the “revival resurrection effect A”, as shown in FIG. 36A, translucent button images G12a and G12b simulating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right of the display unit 50a, respectively, and two button images G12a and G12b. A fade-in display in which the symbol moves toward the center is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (B), when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display unit 50a, the “revival effect A” is performed.

  In “Restoration effect A”, the button operation effective period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. 36C, a non-translucent button image G12c is displayed on the display unit 50a and the lower part of the button image G12c. In addition, an operation promotion image G13 for prompting the continuous operation of the normal button 40 is displayed. Thereafter, when the normal button 40 is repeatedly operated during the button operation effective period, or after the button operation effective period elapses without the normal button 40 being operated repeatedly during the button operation effective period, When the pattern is “confrontation / revival jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 36 (D), the scene where the hero character stands up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a jackpot. Change to the mode (for example, “5, 5, 5”), and stop display. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “confrontation / resurrection loss variation”, as shown in FIG. 36E, a scene in which the main character does not stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbol EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests a loss (for example, the reach loss of “5, 6. 5”).

  Next, the “branch effect” and “resurrection effect C” will be specifically described. In the production control microcomputer 121, the special pattern 2 variation patterns are “branch jackpot variation”, “branch / recovery jackpot variation”, “branch / successful loss variation”, “branch / revival / successful loss variation”, “branch / resurrection / In the case of “failed loss fluctuation”, “branch effect” can be executed, and the special figure 2 fluctuation patterns are “branch / revival jackpot fluctuation”, “branch / revival / successful loss fluctuation”, “branch / revival / failure fluctuation fluctuation”. In this case, “Restoration effect C” can be executed. “Branch effect” and “Restoration effect C” may be performed in the 100th special drawing variation effect in “super RUSH mode”, but are not performed otherwise. In the “branch effect” and “resurrection effect C”, it is suggested that the “super RUSH mode” is continued, the “super RUSH mode” ends, or the “big hit game 3” is executed.

  FIG. 37A to FIG. 37D are diagrams showing how the “branch effect” is performed. The “branch effect” is performed in response to the start of the special figure change effect. In the “branch effect”, as shown in FIG. 37A, the hero character image G10 and the door image G14 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the hero character challenges the mission of opening the door is displayed. Thereafter, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “branch jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 37B, a scene in which the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, a “big hit announcement effect” is displayed in which a big hit suggestion image G15 (here, a “big hit” character image) suggesting that a big hit game will be played is displayed. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a jackpot (for example, a doublet of “5, 5, 5”). Further, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “branch / successful loss variation”, as shown in FIG. 37C, a scene in which the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a. A continuation suggestion image G16 (here, a “continuation” character image) is displayed, which is displayed and suggests that the “super RUSH mode” will continue. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a loss (for example, “1 ・ 2 ・ 3”). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation patterns are “branch / revival jackpot variation”, “branch / resurrection / successful loss variation”, “branch / resurrection / failure variation”, as shown in FIG. In addition, a scene in which the main character cannot open the door and fails in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the “revival effect C” is performed. The scene where the mission fails is an effect suggesting the end of the “super RUSH mode”.

  FIG. 38A to FIG. 38D are diagrams showing a state where the “revival effect C” is performed. In “Restoration effect C”, the button operation effective period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. 38A, the button image G12c and the operation promotion image G13 are displayed on the display unit 50a and the main character is displayed. The scene of re-challenge the mission to open the door is displayed. Thereafter, when the normal button 40 is repeatedly operated during the button operation effective period, or after the button operation effective period elapses without the normal button 40 being operated repeatedly during the button operation effective period, When the pattern is “branch / revival jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 38B, the jackpot suggestion image G15 is displayed on the display unit 50a together with the scene where the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission. A “big hit announcement production” is performed. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a jackpot (for example, a doublet of “5, 5, 5”). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “branch / revival / successful loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 38 (C), the hero character opens the door and continues with the scene of success. The image G16 is displayed on the display unit 50a. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a loss (for example, “1 ・ 2 ・ 3”). Further, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “branch / resurrection / failure failure variation”, as shown in FIG. 38 (D), a scene in which the main character cannot open the door and fails in the mission is displayed. A super RUSH end suggestion image G17 (here, a character image of “end”) is displayed at 50a and suggests that the “super RUSH mode” is to end. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a loss (for example, “1 ・ 2 ・ 3”).

  Next, “settlement reach” and “resurrection effect B” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute “settlement reach” when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “settlement jackpot variation”, “settlement / revival jackpot variation”, “settlement / resurrection / failure loss variation”. FIG. 2 “Restoration effect B” can be executed when the variation pattern is “settlement / resurrection jackpot variation” or “settlement / resurrection / failure loss variation”. “Fixed reach” and “Restoration effect B” may be performed in the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”, but are not performed otherwise. In “Finalize reach” and “Restoration effect B”, it is suggested that “big hit game 3” is executed or “super RUSH mode” is ended.

  FIG. 39A to FIG. 39E are diagrams illustrating a state in which “settlement reach” is performed. When “normal fluctuation” is started, as shown in FIG. 39A, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 39B, when “reach” is established, “settlement reach” is performed.

  In the “settlement reach”, as shown in FIG. 39C, the hero character image G10 and the strong enemy character image G18 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the hero character and the strong enemy character battle is displayed. Thereafter, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “decision jackpot variation”, as shown in FIG. 39 (D), the scene where the main character has won the strong enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbol EZ1. , EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a jackpot (for example, a doublet of “5 · 5 · 5”). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “decision / revival jackpot variation” or “decision / resurrection / failure variation”, the hero character is defeated by a strong enemy character as shown in FIG. The scene is displayed on the display unit 50a, and is stopped and displayed in a manner in which the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 suggest a loss (for example, the reach loss eye of “5, 6. 5”). Thereafter, “Restoration effect B” is performed via “Resurrection effect B”.

  In the “revival resurrection effect B”, as in the “revival resurrection effect A”, translucent button images G12a and G12b simulating the normal button 40 respectively appear from the left and right of the display unit 50a, and two button images G12a and G12b. The fade-in display is performed so that moves toward the center (see FIG. 36A). Thereafter, when the two button images G12a and G12b are overlapped at the center of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 36B), the “revival effect B” is performed.

  In “Restoration effect B”, the button operation effective period of the normal button 40 occurs, and similarly to “Restoration effect A”, a non-translucent button image G12c is displayed on the display unit 50a and at the bottom of the button image G12c. Then, an operation promotion image G13 for prompting the continuous operation of the normal button 40 is displayed (see FIG. 36C). Thereafter, when the normal button 40 is repeatedly operated during the button operation effective period, or after the button operation effective period elapses without the normal button 40 being operated repeatedly during the button operation effective period, When the pattern is “decision / revival jackpot change”, the scene where the main character rises is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a jackpot (for example, “5.5.5.5”). ) To stop and display (see FIG. 36D). On the other hand, when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “decision / revival / failure variation”, a scene in which the main character does not stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 indicate a loss. The display is stopped in the form (for example, “5, 6. 5” reach-losing eye) (see FIG. 36E).

  Next, the “result production” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute “result effect” when the special figure 2 change pattern is “result jackpot change” or “result loss change”. The “result effect” may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the “RUSH mode”, but is not performed otherwise. In the “result production”, the end of the “RUSH mode” or the execution of the “big hit game 3” is suggested.

  40 (A) to 40 (C) are diagrams showing a state in which “result production” is performed. The “result production” is performed in response to the start of the special figure variation production. In the “result production”, as shown in FIG. 40A, a RUSH end suggestion image G19 (here, a character image of “RUSH end”) indicating that the “RUSH mode” is ended is displayed on the display unit 50a. The After that, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “result jackpot variation”, as shown in FIG. 40B, the RUSH end suggestion image G19 is a blessing image G20 that suggests that a jackpot game is performed ( Here, the character image changes to “Congratulations”. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a jackpot (for example, a doublet of “5, 5, 5”). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “result loss variation”, as shown in FIG. 40C, the RUSH end suggestion image G19 does not change, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are lost. Is stopped and displayed (for example, “1 ・ 2 ・ 3”), and the special figure variation effect ends.

  Next, the “serif notice” will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute “line notice” in the “super RUSH mode”. “Selif notice” includes an effect mode A in which serif characters are displayed in white and an effect mode B in which serif characters are displayed in red. The production control microcomputer 121 uses the speech advance notice selection table shown in FIG. 41A to determine whether or not to execute the “line advance notice”, and in any of the production aspects A and B, the “line advance notice” is displayed. It is possible to select whether to execute. In the second embodiment, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “confrontation / resurrection loss variation” rather than “confrontation loss variation”, the production mode B is more easily selected than the production mode A. It is set so that the possibility of “Restoration effect A” is higher in “Serif notice” in the production mode B than in “Selif notice”. Note that the selection ratio of the speech notice selection table shown in FIG. 41A can be changed as appropriate.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 executes the “line notice” selected using the line notice selection table. Specifically, during the “normal fluctuation”, the serif characters are displayed in a predetermined display area of the display unit 50a. “Selif notice” is a well-known effect, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the “revival resurrection effect A” will be described in detail. The “revival resurrection effect A” may also be performed in a special figure variation effect of “confrontation loss variation” in which the “resurrection effect A” is not subsequently performed. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the “revival resurrection effect A” in the special figure variation effect of “confrontation loss variation” using the resurrection effect effect A selection table shown in FIG. It is. Upon selection, the “Selif notice” effect mode selected using the serif notice selection table shown in FIG. 41A is referred to. In the second embodiment, the production mode B is easier to select the production mode B than the production mode A in the production mode B. Specifically, in the case where the production mode of “Serif notice” is production mode A, the execution of “Rebirth effect production A” is selected at a rate of 20% and non-execution is selected at a rate of 80%. When the mode is the production mode B, the execution of the “revival resurrection effect A” is selected at a rate of 60% and the non-execution is selected at a rate of 40%. ”Is selected at a rate of 10% and non-execution at a rate of 90%. Note that the selection ratio can be changed as appropriate.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 executes “revival resurrection effect A” at the execution rate shown in the resurrection effect effect A selection table. This “revival resurrection effect A” is partly different from “revival resurrection effect A” (see FIGS. 36A to 36B) when “resurrection effect A” is subsequently performed.

  42 (A) to 42 (B) are diagrams showing a state in which “revival resurrection effect A” is performed in the special figure variation effect of “confrontation loss variation”. In “Confrontation Reach”, a scene where the main character is defeated by an enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and after the stoppage is displayed in a manner in which the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a loss (so-called reach lose eye) (FIG. 35 ( 42), as shown in FIG. 42A, translucent button images G12a and G12b simulating the normal button 40 respectively appear from the left and right of the display unit 50a, and the two button images G12a and G12b are in the center. The fade-in display that moves toward is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42B, fade-out display is performed in which the two button images G12a and G12b move from the center to the left and right without overlapping at the center of the display unit 50a. At this time, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, the reach loss eye of “5, 6 and 5”).

  Next, the relationship between “confrontation reach” and “super RUSH mode” and the relationship between “determination reach” and “super RUSH mode” will be described. The “confrontation reach” may be performed in the first to 100th special figure variation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, but even if the hero character is defeated by the enemy character in the “confrontation reach” (direction design EZ1, “Even if EZ2 and EZ3 stop display in a manner suggesting a loss), the“ super RUSH mode ”never ends. On the other hand, the “settlement reach” may be performed in the special figure changing effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”, but if the hero character is defeated by the strong enemy character in the “settlement reach” (direction design EZ1, EZ2, If EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests losing), and if the hero character does not stand up in the subsequent “Restoration effect B” (if the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 do not change to a mode that suggests a jackpot), The “RUSH mode” ends. That is, the ease of termination of the short-time state differs between the case of losing after “confrontation reach” and the case of losing after “conclusion reach”. In the second embodiment, the time reduction state is more easily terminated when the loss occurs after the “settlement reach” than when the loss occurs after the “confrontation reach”. Therefore, it can be said that “confrontation reach” is relatively low in anxiety about the end of the short-time state, and “settlement reach” is relatively high in anxiety about the end of the short-time state.

  Next, the relationship between “Restoration effect A” and “Super RUSH mode” and the relationship between “Restoration effect B” and “Super RUSH mode” will be described. “Restoration effect A” may be performed in the first to 100th special figure changing effects in “super RUSH mode”, but even if the main character does not stand up in “revival effect A” (effects design EZ1, EZ2 , Even if EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), the “super RUSH mode” will not end. On the other hand, “Restoration effect B” may be performed in the special figure change effect after the 101st time in “Super RUSH mode”. When the EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), the “super RUSH mode” is terminated. That is, the ease of ending the short-time state differs between when the loss occurs after the “revival effect A” and when the loss occurs after the “revival effect B”. In the second embodiment, the time reduction state is more likely to end when the loss occurs after the “revival effect B” than when the loss occurs after the “revival effect A”. Therefore, it can be said that “Restoration effect A” is relatively low in anxiety about the end of the short-time state, and “Restoration effect B” is relatively high in anxiety about the end of the time-short state.

  Next, the relationship between “revival resurrection effect A” and “resurrection effect A” and the relationship between “resurrection effect staging B” and “resurrection effect B” will be described. “Revival reenactment effect A” may be performed in the first to 100th special figure variation effects in “super RUSH mode”, but “resurrection reenactment effect A” is performed. There are times when it is not done. On the other hand, “Revival Reenactment B” may be performed in the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in “Super RUSH Mode”. Is called. That is, the probability that “Restoration effect A” or “Restoration effect B” is subsequently executed differs between the case where “Resurrection effect A” is performed and the case where “Resurrection effect B” is performed. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the “revitalization effect B” than after the “revitalization effect A”. For this reason, it can be said that “Revival Reproduction A” has a relatively low expectation for “Resurrection Reproduction A”, and “Resurrection Reenactment B” has a relatively high expectation for “Revival Reproduction B”.

  Next, the relationship between “Serif notice” and “Revival reverberation effect A” will be described. “Selif notice” may be performed when the protagonist character loses to an enemy character in “confrontation reach” to be performed thereafter (when the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 stop display in a manner suggesting loss). However, when the “line advance notice” of the production mode A is performed, the “revival announcement A” is rarely performed, and when the “line advance notice” of the production mode B is performed, Production “A” is often performed. That is, the probability that the “revival resurrection effect A” is subsequently executed differs between the case where the “line notice” of the effect mode A is performed and the case where the “line preview” of the effect mode B is performed. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the “line advance notice” of the production mode B than after the “line advance notice” of the production mode A. For this reason, it can be said that the “serif notice” of the production mode A has a relatively low sense of expectation for the “revival resurrection effect A”, and the “serif notice” of the production mode B has a relatively high expectation for the “revitalization effect A”. It can be said that it is expensive.

  Next, the relationship between the “big hit announcement effect”, the “branch effect”, and the “revival effect C” will be described. The “big hit announcement effect” may be performed in the “branch effect” or the “revival effect C”, but is difficult to perform in the “branch effect” and is easily performed in the “revival effect C”. That is, the probability that the “big hit announcement effect” is performed is different between the “branch effect” and the “resurrection effect C”. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher in the “revival effect C” than in the “branch effect”. Therefore, it can be said that the “branch effect” has a relatively low expectation for the “hit announcement effect”, and the “revival effect C” has a relatively high expectation for the “hit notification effect”.

  Next, the relationship between “confrontation reach” and “resurrection effect A” and the relationship between “settlement reach” and “resurrection effect B” will be described. The “confrontation reach” may be performed in the first to 100th special figure variation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, but when the main character is defeated by the enemy character in the “confrontation reach” (direction designs EZ1, EZ2, If EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), there may be a case where “Restoration effect A” is subsequently performed and a case where it is not performed. On the other hand, the “settlement reach” may be performed in the special figure changing effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”. Even if EZ2 and EZ3 stop display in a manner suggesting a loss), “Restoration effect B” is always performed thereafter. In other words, the probability that “resurrection effect A” or “resurrection effect B” is executed is different between the case where the loss is indicated by “confrontation reach” and the case where the loss is indicated by “determination reach”. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher when the loss is indicated by the “settlement reach” than when the loss is indicated by the “confrontation reach”. Therefore, it can be said that “confrontation reach” has a relatively low expectation for “resurrection effect A” and “settlement reach” has a relatively high expectation for “resurrection effect B”.

  Next, the relationship between “confrontation reach” and “settlement reach” will be described. The “confrontation reach” may be performed in the first to 100th special drawing variation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, but even if the result of the fall determination is “fall over winning”, it is “fall over not winning”. However, “confrontation reach” may be performed. On the other hand, the “settlement reach” is performed in the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”, but the “settlement reach” is performed when the result of the fall determination is “no fall”. There is nothing, and “settlement reach” is performed only when the result of the fall judgment is “fall winning”. That is, when it is determined to be “winning fall” in the fall determination relating to the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, the special figure fluctuation effects after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”. The probability that the reach effect will be executed differs depending on the case where it is determined that it is “falling winning” in the falling determination related to. In the second embodiment, the 101st and subsequent times in the “super RUSH mode” are compared to the case where it is determined that “falling winning” is determined in the fall determination relating to the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”. The execution probability is higher in the case where it is determined that the “falling winning” is determined by the falling determination related to the special figure fluctuation effect. Therefore, it can be said that “confrontation reach” is relatively low in anxiety about switching to the normal probability state, and “determination reach” is relatively high in anxiety about switching to the normal probability state.

<Effects of Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the second embodiment will be described.

(6) Even if a loss is suggested by “confrontation reach” and “settlement reach”, “revival effect A” and “resurrection effect B” are effects that suggest whether or not a jackpot game will be performed after that. Since it is sometimes performed, it is possible to draw attention to the special figure variation effect until the end, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(7) When “Restoration effect A” and “Restoration effect B” are performed after the “Confrontation reach” and “Finalization reach” are suggested, “Restoration effect A” and “Restoration effect B” are performed. Since “revival resurrection effect A” and “resurrection resurrection effect B”, which are productions suggesting that there is a possibility, “resurrection resurrection effect A” and “resurrection resurrection effect B” are performed. It is possible to suggest that “Restoration effect B” is performed, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(8) Even after “losing effect A” is not performed after “losing effect” is suggested in “confrontation reach”, “revival resurrection effect” is an effect that suggests that “resurrection effect A” may be performed. Since “A” may be performed, it can be expected that “Restoration effect A” will be performed by “Resurrection effect A”, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(9) In the “super RUSH mode” in which the time is shortened, the number of the special display variable display is performed in the period of the first to the 100th time, and the number of the special map variable display is performed. Is the case where “revival revitalization effect B” is performed in the period after the 101st time, and thereafter, “revival effect A” or “resurrection effect B” which is an effect suggesting whether or not the jackpot game is performed Since the probability of being played is different, the expectation that “Restoration effect A” or “Restoration effect B” will be performed can be changed depending on the number of special display variable displays, and the fun of the game can be enhanced. It is.

(10) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is the short-running state, if the “definite reach” that is the reach production suggests a loss, the “super RUSH mode” may end. It is possible to give a sense of expectation for the game and anxiety about the end of the short-time state, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(11) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a short-time state, when a loss is suggested by the “confrontation reach” that is the reach production, and when a loss is suggested by the “settlement reach” that is the reach production, Since the probability of continuing the “super RUSH mode” is different, it is possible to change the sense of expectation for the continuation of the short-time state depending on the type of reach production, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(12) In the situation where the “super RUSH mode”, which is a short time state, is more likely to end when the “conclusion reach” suggests the loss than the “confrontation reach” suggests a loss. “Restoration effect B”, which is an effect that suggests whether or not a big hit after “Resurrection effect B”, rather than the probability that “Resurrection effect A”, which is an effect that suggests whether or not a big hit is made after “Resurrection effect A” Since the probability of being played is higher, it is possible to give many opportunities to avoid the end of the short-time state by the “resurrection effect B” after the “resurrection effect B”, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(13) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a short-time state, the case where the loss is suggested by the “revival effect A” performed in the period of the first to 100th times of the variable display of the special figure, The probability that the “super RUSH mode” will continue differs depending on the “revival effect B” performed in the period after the 101st variable display, and the probability that the “super RUSH mode” will continue. It is possible to change the feeling of expectation for the continuation of the short-time state, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(14) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a short-time state, if a loss is suggested by “revival effect B” which is an effect suggesting whether or not a big hit, the “super RUSH mode” may end. With “Restoration effect B”, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the jackpot game and anxiety about the end of the short-time state, thereby enhancing the interest of the game.

(15) A continuation suggestion image G16 that suggests the continuation of the “super RUSH mode” is displayed in the special figure variation effect that is performed when the number of times of the variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode” that is the short-time state is the 100th time. When the super RUSH end suggestion image G17 suggesting the end of the “super RUSH mode” is displayed, and when the jackpot suggestion image G15 suggesting the execution of the “big hit game 3” is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to focus attention on the 100th special drawing variation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(16) In the special figure variation effect performed when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode” which is the short-time state is the 100th time, it is suggested that the “super RUSH mode” ends with the “branch effect”. Later, in “Restoration effect C”, when the continuation suggestion image G16 that suggests the continuation of “super RUSH mode” is displayed, and when the jackpot suggestion image G15 that suggests the execution of “big hit game 3” is displayed. Therefore, the “revival effect C” can expect both a short-time state to continue and a jackpot game to be played, which can enhance the interest of the game.

(17) In the special figure variation effect performed when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode” which is the short-time state is the 100th time, it is suggested that the “super RUSH mode” ends with the “branch effect”. After that, when the jackpot suggestion image G15 suggesting the execution of the “big hit game 3” is displayed in the “revival presentation C” and when the “branch presentation” does not suggest the end of the “super RUSH mode”, the jackpot suggestion image Since there is a time when G15 is displayed, it is possible to expect that a jackpot game will be played both in the “branch effect” and “resurrection effect C”, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. .

(18) In the special figure variation effect performed when the number of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode” which is the short-time state is the 100th time, the “resurrection effect C” and the “big hit game 3” rather than the “branch effect” The jackpot suggestion image G15 suggesting execution of "" is easy to be displayed. Therefore, even if the jackpot suggestion image G15 is not displayed in the "branch effect", the expectation that the jackpot game will be played is not reduced It is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(19) In the “super RUSH mode” which is a high probability state, when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is determined to be “falling winning” in the falling determination performed in the first to 100th periods; “Confrontation reach” and “settlement reach” that are reach productions are executed when it is determined that the “fall winning” is determined by the fall judgment performed in the period after the 101st time of the variable display of the special figure The probability of switching to the normal probability state when the reach effect is performed can be changed depending on the number of times that the special drawing is displayed, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. .

<Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a third embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the basic embodiment, the first embodiment, and the second embodiment described above is also applied to the third embodiment.

  First, the hold icon HA that can be displayed by the production control microcomputer 121 will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 displays the hold icon HA indicating the number of hold in FIG. 2 as the hold icon display area in the hold effect when the “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode”, and “revenge mode” are set. In the hold effect when the “normal effect mode” is set, the hold icon HA suggesting the special figure 1 hold number can be displayed in the hold icon display area 50d (FIG. 20 ( A)). As shown in FIG. 43D, the hold icon HA includes sun icons A to C (corresponding to the first hold symbol), umbrella icons A to B (corresponding to the second hold symbol), and a cloud icon. There are six types of hold icons HA.

  The sun icons A to C are the hold icons HA that suggest the number of special figure 2 holds displayed in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, and the sun icon A is usually displayed. The sun icon A is displayed in yellow, the sun icon B is displayed in red, and the sun icon C is displayed in rainbow color. Moreover, the umbrella icons A to B are the hold icons HA displayed in the “revenge mode”, and the umbrella icon A is usually displayed. The umbrella icon A is displayed in blue, and the umbrella icon B is displayed in rainbow. The cloud icon is a hold icon HA that suggests the number of special figure 1 hold displayed in the “normal effect mode”, and is displayed in white.

  The effect RAM 124 is provided with a start prize command storage unit (not shown) for storing a start prize command determined by the game control microcomputer 101, and the effect control microcomputer 121 is stored in the start prize command storage unit. Based on the start winning command, the hold icon HA can be displayed. Note that the start winning command stored in the start winning command storage unit is erased by performing a variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold on which the start winning command is determined.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 43 to FIG. 48, effects that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 in accordance with the start winning command determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the following effects in the “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode”, and “revenge mode”.

O. RUSH hold change effect In the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed as the hold icons HA indicating the number of special figure 2 holds. Since it is easier to play when the jackpot prefetch determination result is “losing” than when it is “losing”, it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a high possibility that the jackpot game will be played. Also, the special pattern fluctuation pattern look-ahead judgment results are "confrontation jackpot fluctuation", "confrontation / revival jackpot fluctuation", "confrontation loss fluctuation", "confrontation / revival loss fluctuation", "decision jackpot fluctuation", "settlement / revival jackpot" Because it may be performed in the case of “change” or “decision / revival / failure change”, it is an indication that there is a possibility that “confrontation reach” or “settlement reach” will be performed. Also works.

P. Revenge hold change effect In the “revenge mode”, the umbrella icon B is displayed as a hold icon HA that indicates the number of special figure 2 holds. Since it is easier to play when the jackpot prefetch determination result is “losing” than when it is “losing”, it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a high possibility that the jackpot game will be played.

Q. Normal countdown effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 97th to 99th special figure variation effects in "Super RUSH mode", and counts down the number of variable display of special figures until the "branch effect" is performed. Production. Thereafter, since the “branch effect” is performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the “branch effect” is performed.

R. Special countdown effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 97th to 99th special figure variation effects in the "Super RUSH mode". It is an effect that differs from the "countdown effect" until the "branch effect" is performed. This is a look-ahead effect that counts down the number of variable displays in the figure. Thereafter, since the “branch effect” is performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the “branch effect” is performed. Moreover, since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big jackpot”, it also functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed. Further, since it is performed when the “big hit announcement effect” is performed in the “branch effect” or the “revival effect C”, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the “big hit announcement effect” is performed.

  Next, various effects executed in the “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode”, and “revenge mode” will be described in detail. First, the “RUSH hold change effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “RUSH hold change effect” when the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” are set. In the “RUSH hold change effect”, the possibility of executing “October game 3” is suggested.

  When the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” are set, the production control microcomputer 121 holds the hold icon selection table A shown in FIG. 43 (A), the hold icon selection table B shown in FIG. 43 (B), Alternatively, it is possible to determine the type of the hold icon HA that suggests the number of special figure 2 hold using the hold icon selection table C shown in FIG.

  The hold icon selection table A is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set is the first to 90th, and the hold icon selection table B is “ When the number of times of the variable display of the special figure after the setting of "Super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is the 91st to 100th, or the variable display of the special figure after the "Super RUSH mode" is set The number of times of starting and after the 101st and “Command 001”, “Command 006”, “Command 007”, “Command 016” start winning commands are determined (determined that the jackpot pre-reading determination is a big hit or “falling winning” in the pre-fall determination) Is used in the case where the “holding icon selection table C” is set after “super RUSH mode” is set. Starting from the 101st variable display in the figure, the start winning commands of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, “command 016” are determined (decided that the jackpot prefetch judgment is a big hit or falls This is used when the pre-reading judgment is “decided to fall”. In the third embodiment, the type of the hold icon HA for the special figure 2 hold for which the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” has been determined is selected as the hold icon. Selection is made using the table C, but selection may be made using the hold icon selection table B.

  The hold icon selection table A is used for the first to 90th variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set. Only seven types of start winning commands are determined, ie, “001” to “command 003”, “command 011”, “command 012”, “command 021”, and “command 022” (see FIG. 31A). Therefore, in the hold icon selection table A, the type of the hold icon HA is selected based on these seven types of start winning commands. Specifically, when the start winning command is “command 001”, “command 002”, “command 003”, the sun icon A is 50%, the sun icon B is 30%, and the sun icon C is 20%. Selected by percentage. When the start winning command is “command 011” or “command 012”, the sun icon A is selected at a ratio of 60% and the sun icon B is 40%, and the sun icon C is not selected. When the start winning command is “command 021” or “command 022”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 90% and the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 10%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Therefore, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of sun icon A <sun icon B <sun icon C.

  In the hold icon selection table B, only the sun icon A is selected regardless of the type of the start winning command. Here, the reason why only the sun icon A is selected in the hold icon selection table B will be described. In the hold icon selection table B, when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is 91 to 100th after the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set, or the “super RUSH mode” is set. From the 101st time and the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, “command 016” is determined (the jackpot look-ahead determination is “big hit”) For example, the number of reserved special figure 2 when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is the 98th is “4”. In the case of, two special figure 2 reservations are not digested until the 100th special figure variable display. That is, these two special figure 2 reservations may be digested in the “revenge mode” (see FIGS. 32C and 32D). Further, for example, when the number of special figure 2 holds when the number of times of the special figure variable display is “falling winning” in the fall determination after the 101st time, the number of special figure 2 hold is “4”. Is digested in the “revenge mode” (see FIG. 32A). Although details will be described later, in the “revenge mode”, a “revenge hold change effect” using the hold icon HA may be performed. In order for this “revenge hold change effect” to be always performed under the same situation, the sun icon A is displayed for all special figure 2 holds that may be digested in the “revenge mode”. It has become. In the third embodiment, the sun icon A is always selected by the hold icon selection table B. However, if the sun icon A is easier to select than the hold icon selection table A or the hold icon selection table C, the sun icon A is selected. Icons B and C may be selected.

  In the hold icon selection table C, since the number of special display variable displays after the “super RUSH mode” is set is used after the 101st time, the game control microcomputer 101 uses “command 001” and “command 006”. , “Command 007”, “command 016”, “command 021”, and “command 022” are determined only for the 6 types of start winning commands (see FIG. 31B). Therefore, in the hold icon selection table C, the type of the hold icon HA is selected based on these six types of start winning commands. Specifically, when the start winning command is “command 001”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 70%, the sun icon B at 20%, and the sun icon C at a rate of 10%. Further, when the start winning command is “command 006”, “command 007”, “command 016”, the sun icon A is selected at a ratio of 80%, and the sun icon B is selected at a ratio of 20%. Not selected. When the start winning command is “command 021” or “command 022”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 90% and the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 10%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Therefore, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of sun icon A <sun icon B <sun icon C. In the hold icon selection table C, the sun icon B and the sun icon C are less likely to be selected than the hold icon selection table A.

  Here, the reason why the sun icon B and the sun icon C are less likely to be selected in the hold icon selection table C than in the hold icon selection table A will be described. The hold icon selection table A is used when the number of variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set is the first to 90th, but the “super RUSH mode” or “ When the number of special display variable displays from the first to the 90th after the “RUSH mode” is set, “confrontation reach” is performed regardless of the result of the fall determination (see FIG. 30A), even if the fall The “super RUSH mode” continues even if it is determined as “falling winning” in the determination and loses in “confrontation reach” (see FIG. 32C). On the other hand, the hold icon selection table C is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is the 101st or later, but the special icon after the “super RUSH mode” is set. When the number of variable displays in the figure is the 101st and subsequent times, “successful reach” is performed only when it is determined that “big hit” is determined by jackpot determination and when “falling win” is determined by falling determination ( (See FIG. 30C). In other words, when the “settlement reach” is performed, there are two options, that is, a big hit and a transition to the jackpot production mode or a loss and a transition to the “revenge mode” (FIG. 32A). 32 (B)). For this reason, when the number of special display variable displays after the “super RUSH mode” is set to 101 is the selection of the sun icon B and the sun icon C even if the jackpot prefetch determination is determined to be “jackpot” Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether to shift to the jackpot effect mode or to lose the shift to the “revenge mode” after the “settlement reach”.

  Note that the selection ratio for selecting the type of the hold icon HA can be changed as appropriate.

  The hold icon display area 50d where the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed includes a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3, and a fourth display area 50d4. Thus, the hold icon HA is displayed in each of the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3, and 50d4. When the special figure 2 hold number is “1”, the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special figure 2 hold number is “2”, the first display area 50d1 and the second display are displayed. If the hold icon HA is displayed in the area 50d2, and the special figure 2 hold number is "3", the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, and the third display area 50d3. When the special figure 2 hold number is “4”, the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, the third display area 50d3, and the fourth display area 50d4. In addition, the icon display area 50e (see FIG. 20A) is provided on the right side of the hold icon display area 50d, and is displayed in the first display area 50d1 in response to the start of the special figure variation effect. The held icon HA is displayed as the icon TA in the icon display area 50e.

  FIG. 44 (A) is displayed when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 when the number of times of display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is the first to 90th. It is a figure which shows the kind of hold icon HA. When the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “1”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. Since the type of the hold icon HA is selected by the hold icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “2”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table A, one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 hold number becomes “3”, the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table A, one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “4”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table A, one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. As described above, when the number of times of display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is the first to 90th, the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C are used as the hold icons HA. Both are displayed. In other words, since the upper limit of the special figure 2 hold number is “4”, the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the second to the 94th variable display of the special figure is the sun icon as the hold icon HA. One of icon A, sun icon B, and sun icon C is displayed.

  FIG. 44 (B) shows that the game ball wins the second start port 12 when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is 91 to 100 after the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set. It is a figure which shows the kind of hold icon HA displayed when it does. When the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “1”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. The type of the hold icon HA is selected by the hold icon selection table B. As described above, since only the sun icon A is selected in the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “2”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 hold number becomes “3”, the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “4”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. As described above, when the number of times of variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is the 91st to 100th times, only the sun icon A is displayed as the hold icon HA. In other words, since the upper limit of the special figure 2 hold number is “4”, the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 92nd to 104th variable display of the special figure is the sun icon as the hold icon HA. Only icon A will be displayed.

    FIG. 44 (C) shows the display of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” from the 101st time when the number of special display variable displays after the “super RUSH mode” is set. It is a figure which shows the kind of hold | maintenance icon HA displayed when a game ball wins the 2nd starting port 12 until a start winning command is determined. When the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “1”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. Since the type of the hold icon HA is selected by the hold icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “2”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of the hold icon HA is selected by the hold icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 hold number becomes “3”, the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “4”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. In this way, the number of special display variable displays after the “super RUSH mode” has been set has been changed from the 101st time to the start winning commands of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016”. Until it is determined, any of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed as the hold icon HA. In other words, at the maximum, the special figure variable display count corresponding to the 102nd is determined to be “big win” in the jackpot determination from the special figure 2 hold or determined to be “falling winning” in the fall determination. Until the special figure 2 hold, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed as the hold icon HA.

  FIG. 44D shows that the number of variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is the 101st and subsequent times, and “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, “command 016”. It is a figure which shows the kind of holding | maintenance icon HA displayed when a game ball wins the 2nd starting port 12 after the start winning command is determined. Here, it is assumed that the current special figure 2 hold number is “1” and the sun icon A is displayed in the first display area 50d1. When the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “2”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d3. The type of the hold icon HA is selected by the hold icon selection table B. As described above, since only the sun icon A is selected in the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 hold number becomes “3”, the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 and the special figure 2 holding number becomes “4”, the holding icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the hold icon HA is also selected by the hold icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. As described above, the start prize command of the “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” is the number of times of the variable display of the special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set for the 101st time and thereafter. In the case after determination is made, only the sun icon A is displayed as the hold icon HA. In other words, since the upper limit of the number of special figure 2 holds is “4”, the maximum figure is determined to be “big hit” in the jackpot determination or “falling winning” in the fall determination. Only the sun icon A is displayed as the hold icon HA for the four special figure 2 holds after the 2 hold.

  Next, the “revenge hold change effect” will be specifically described. When the “revenge mode” is set, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “revenge hold change effect” using the hold icon HA that suggests the special figure 2 hold number. “Revenge on hold change production” suggests that “big hit game 3” is executed.

  When the “revenge mode” is set, the production control microcomputer 121 is the same as when the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” are set for the hold icon HA indicating the special figure 2 hold number. It can be displayed in the hold icon display area 50d (see FIG. 20A).

  Further, the production control microcomputer 121 changes the sun icon displayed in the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4 in accordance with the transition from the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode” to the “revenge mode”. A can be changed to the umbrella icon A or the umbrella icon B. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether to change the sun icon A to the umbrella icon A or the umbrella icon B using the umbrella icon selection table shown in FIG. At the time of selection, the start winning command stored in the start winning command storage unit is referred to. Specifically, when the start winning command for displaying the sun icon A is “command 017” (when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “losing”), the umbrella icon A is 100%. When the “command 008” is selected (when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big jackpot”), the umbrella icon A is selected at a ratio of 30% and the umbrella icon B is selected at a ratio of 70%. In the third embodiment, the transition to the “revenge mode” is made by the end of the variable display of the 100th special figure in the short time state (corresponding to the first end condition), and “falling winning” is determined by the fall determination. It is assumed that the probability that the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon B is the same in the case of shifting to the “revenge mode” by being determined (corresponding to the second end condition), but may be a different probability. The selection ratio can be changed as appropriate.

  46 (A) to 46 (B) are diagrams showing the hold icon HA when shifting to the “revenge mode”. The special display of the last special figure in “Super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” (variable display of the special figure determined to be “falling winning” by the variable display of the 100th special figure or the fall judgment) has ended. Then, it shifts to the “revenge mode” which is a non-time-short state. At this time, as shown in FIG. 46 (A), if the sun icon A is displayed in the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4, when changing to the umbrella icon A is selected. When the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon A and the change to the umbrella icon B is selected, the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon B. FIG. 46B is a diagram showing a case where only the sun icon A displayed in the third display area 50d3 is selected to be changed to the umbrella icon B.

  Next, the “normal countdown effect” and the “special countdown effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “normal countdown effect” or the “special countdown effect” in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode” regardless of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether to execute the “normal countdown effect” or the “special countdown effect” using the countdown selection table shown in FIG. At the time of selection, the result of the prefetch determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the variable display of the special figure corresponding to the 100th time is referred to. In the third embodiment, it is possible to select “special countdown effect” only when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination with respect to the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th display of the special figure variable display is “hit” It has become. Specifically, when the start winning command is “command 004”, “normal countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 70%, and “special countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 30%. When the start winning command is “command 005”, “normal countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 30%, and “special countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 70%. When the start winning command is “command 013”, “command 014”, or “command 015”, “normal countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 100%. In addition, when the special figure variable display corresponding to the 100th special figure variable display has not occurred at the start of the 97th special figure fluctuation production, the “normal countdown production” is set at a rate of 100%. select. Note that the selection ratio of the countdown selection table illustrated in FIG. 45B can be changed as appropriate.

  47 (A) to 47 (C) are diagrams showing how the “normal countdown effect” is performed. When “normal fluctuation” is started at the 97th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 47 (A), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a. At the same time, a count image G21a (numerical image “3”) indicating the number of variable display times of the special figure up to the “branch effect” is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when “normal fluctuation” is started at the 98th special figure fluctuation effect in “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 47 (B), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. In addition to the display, a count image G21b (numerical image “2”) is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when “normal fluctuation” is started at the 99th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 47 (C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. In addition to the display, a count image G21c (numerical image “1”) is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, a “branch effect” is performed in response to the start of the 100th special figure variation effect in the “super RUSH mode” (see FIG. 37A). In the “branch effect” or “resurrection effect C” after the “branch effect”, “a jackpot notification effect” in which the jackpot suggestion image G15 is displayed is performed (see FIGS. 37B and 38B). ), And when there is no “big hit announcement effect” (see FIG. 37C, FIG. 38C, and FIG. 38D).

  48 (A) to 48 (C) are diagrams showing a state where the “countdown effect” of effect mode B is performed. When “normal fluctuation” is started at the 97th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 48A, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a. At the same time, a count image G21a and a pseudo jackpot suggestion image G15g, which is a translucent image of the jackpot suggestion image G15, are displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when “normal fluctuation” is started at the 98th special figure fluctuation effect in “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 48 (B), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. In addition to the display, a count image G21b and a pseudo jackpot suggestion image G15g are displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when “normal fluctuation” is started at the 99th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 48 (C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change on the display unit 50a. In addition to the display, a count image G21c and a pseudo jackpot suggestion image G15g are displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, a “branch effect” is performed in response to the start of the 100th special figure variation effect in the “super RUSH mode” (see FIG. 37A). In the “branch effect” or “resurrection effect C” after the “branch effect”, the “hit notification effect” in which the jackpot suggestion image G15 is displayed is always performed (see FIGS. 37B and 38B). . Therefore, the display of the pseudo jackpot suggestion image G15g functions as an effect suggesting that the “hit notification effect” in which the jackpot suggestion image G15 is displayed is performed.

  Next, the relationship between the “RUSH hold change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect” will be described. In the “RUSH hold change effect”, the sun icon B or the sun icon C may be displayed regardless of whether the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “hit” or “losing” (see FIG. 45). On the other hand, in the “revenge hold change effect”, the umbrella icon B is displayed only when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit”. In other words, the jackpot expectation differs between the “RUSH hold change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect”. In the third embodiment, the big hit expectation is higher in the “revenge hold change effect” than in the “RUSH hold change effect”. Therefore, it can be said that the “RUSH hold change effect” has a relatively low expectation for the jackpot game being played, and the “revenge hold change effect” has a relatively high expectation for the jackpot game being played.

  Next, in the “revenge mode change effect” in the “revenge mode” shifted by the end of the 100th special figure change effect in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, the fall determination in the “super RUSH mode” is “ The relationship with the “revenge hold change effect” in the “revenge mode” that has been transitioned by being determined to be a “winning win” will be described. Whether the former “revenge mode” or the latter “revenge mode”, the probability that the umbrella icon B is displayed in the “revenge hold change effect” is the same. Therefore, it can be said that the sense of expectation for the “revenge hold change effect” is the same regardless of the situation where the “revenge mode” is entered.

  Next, the relationship between the “normal countdown effect”, the “special countdown effect”, and the “big hit announcement effect” will be described. “Normal countdown effect” and “special countdown effect” may be performed before the start of “branch effect”, but when “normal countdown effect” is performed, “branch effect” or “resurrection effect C” "A jackpot announcement effect" may or may not be performed, while when a "special countdown effect" is performed, a "big hit announcement effect" in the "branch effect" or "revival effect C" Is always done. That is, the probability that the “big hit announcement effect” will be executed afterwards is different between the case where the “normal countdown effect” is performed and the case where the “special countdown effect” is performed. In the third embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the “special countdown effect” than after the “normal countdown effect”. Therefore, it can be said that the “normal countdown effect” has a relatively low expectation for the “big hit announcement effect”, and the “special countdown effect” has a relatively high expectation for the “big hit notification effect”.

  Next, the “RUSH hold change effect” performed in the first to 100th special map change effects in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH hold” performed in the 101st and subsequent special map change effects in the “super RUSH mode”. The relationship with “change effect” will be described. The “RUSH hold change effect” may be performed based on the result of the jackpot prefetch determination or the fact that it is determined to be “fall winning” by the fall prefetch determination, but the first to 100th times in the “super RUSH mode” In the special figure variation effect, the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed without performing the fall prefetch determination, while in the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”, the fall prefetch determination is performed. When it is determined that the “winning win” is performed, the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed. That is, the probability that the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed based on the result of the fall prefetching determination in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, and the 101st and subsequent special figures in the “super RUSH mode”. The probability that the “RUSH hold change effect” based on the result of the fall prefetch determination is performed in the variable effect is different. In the third embodiment, the result of the fall-ahead read-ahead determination is greater in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode” than in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”. The execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” based is high. Therefore, the “RUSH hold change effect” performed in the first to 100th special figure change effects in the “super RUSH mode” has a relatively low anxiety about being determined as “falling winning” in the falling determination. It can be said that the “RUSH hold change effect” performed in the special figure change effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode” is relatively high in anxiety about being determined to be “falling winning” in the falling determination. I can say that.

<Effect of the third embodiment>
Hereinafter, effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the third embodiment will be described.

(20) For the special figure 2 suspension that occurred in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” that are in the short-time state, there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be performed after shifting to the “revenge mode” in the non-time-short state “Revenge on hold change production”, which is a suggestion of high, may be performed, so even if you move to “Revenge mode”, you can have a sense of expectation for “Revenge on hold change production”, It is possible to increase.

(21) When the special figure 2 suspension generated in the “super-RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” in the time reduction state is digested after shifting to the “revenge mode” in the non-time reduction state, On the other hand, since the “RUSH hold change effect” is not performed, the “revenge mode” can always be performed under the same situation, and the effect of the “revenge mode” can be prevented from being lowered.

(22) Since the sun icon B or the sun icon C is displayed in the “RUSH hold change effect” and the umbrella icon B is displayed in the “revenge hold change effect”, the “RUSH hold change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect” are displayed. It is possible to vary the production mode and increase the interest of the game.

(23) In the “RUSH hold change effect”, since the umbrella icon B displayed in the “Revenge hold change effect” is not displayed, the “Revenge hold change effect” can be positioned as a special effect, and the entertainment of the game is enhanced. It is possible.

(24) When the “revenge hold change effect” is performed rather than when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed, the jackpot expectation is higher, so the “revenge hold change effect” is regarded as a valuable effect. It can be positioned, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(25) When the variable display of the 100th special figure in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, which are in the time-short state, is completed, and the non-short-time state is entered, and in the “ultra-RUSH mode”, which is the time-short state Since the execution probability of “Revenge hold change effect” in “Revenge mode” is the same as when it is determined that it is “falling winning” in the determination and it becomes a non-temporary state, the degree of expectation for “Revenge hold change effect” is It can be prevented from changing, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(26) When the end of the “super RUSH mode”, which is a short-time state, approaches, “normal countdown effect” or “special countdown effect” is performed. The end timing of the “mode” can be made easy to understand, and the fun of the game can be enhanced.

(27) When the jackpot suggestion image G15 that suggests the execution of the “big hit game 3” is displayed in the 100th special figure variation effect in which the “super RUSH mode” that is the short-time state may end, Since the “countdown effect” may be performed, the “special countdown effect” can be expected to cause the “big hit game 3” to be performed, and the entertainment of the game can be enhanced.

(28) In the “super RUSH mode” which is a high probability state, the number of times of display of the special figure is switched to the normal probability state by the fall determination performed in the first to 100th periods, and the variable display of the special figure Since the probability that the “RUSH hold change effect” based on the fall prefetch determination is performed is different in the case where the number of times is switched to the normal probability state by the fall judgment performed in the period after the 101st time, It is possible to change anxiety about switching to the normal probability state when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(29) In the period after the 101st time of the variable display number of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode” which is in a high probability state, when the jackpot prefetch determination is determined to be “jackpot”, Since execution of “RUSH hold change effect” suggesting execution is restricted, “RUSH hold change effect” shifts to jackpot effect mode in which jackpot game is executed or shifts to “revenge mode” which is a normal probability state It is difficult to understand what to do, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

<Modifications of the basic embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment>
Hereinafter, modified examples of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the basic embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment will be described. Of course, you may comprise combining the structure which concerns on a modified example suitably. In addition, technical features in the above-described embodiments and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted unless they are described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, when the number of special display variable display times in the “super RUSH mode” is from 1st to 99th, even if it is determined that “falling winning” is determined in the falling determination, the time-saving state continues. However, the time saving state may be terminated. In this case, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is determined using the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C as shown in FIG. If it is determined that the “falling winning” is determined, it is preferable that a reach effect is performed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table used in the “super RUSH mode”, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is the first to the 99th. And a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B for when the number of variable display of the special figure is 100th, and a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C for when the number of variable display of the special figure is the 101st or later. Are used, but one type or four or more types may be used.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the high probability state is switched to the normal probability state when it is determined as “falling winning” at the fall determination, but when it is determined as “big hit” at the jackpot determination. You may make it switch to. In this case, it is preferable to shorten the time of the jackpot game. For example, the round game in the jackpot game is composed of two times, and the first big prize opening 14 is opened for 0.1 seconds at the maximum per round game. You may make it.

  Further, in the second embodiment, “confrontation reach” is set as an effect content for battle between the hero character and the enemy character, and “decision reach” is set as an effect content for battle between the hero character and the strong enemy character, so that the effect content is different. However, the same content may be used for “confrontation reach” and “settlement reach”.

  Further, in the second embodiment, “revival effect A” and “resurrection effect B” have the same effect content using the normal button 40, but “resurrection effect A” and “resurrection effect B” The contents of the production may be different. For example, the content of the effect may be made different by using the normal button 40 for the “revival effect A” and the effect content using the special button 41 for the “revival effect B”.

  In the second embodiment, the “revival resurrection effect A” and “resurrection resurrection effect B” have the same effect content for performing the fade-in display of the button images G12a and G12b. The content of the production may be different for the “revival resurrection production B”. For example, the “revival resurrection effect A” is an effect content for performing fade-in display of the button images G12a and G12b, and the “revival resurrection effect B” is an effect content for performing a fade-in display of only the button image G12a. May be allowed.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when the “revival resurrection effect B” is performed, the “resurrection effect B” is always performed. You may make it not perform "production B". In this case, it is preferable that the probability that “revival effect B” is performed after “resurrection effect B” is set higher than the probability that “resurrection effect A” is performed after “resurrection effect A”.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the time reduction state is easier to be ended when the loss occurs after the “determination reach” than when the loss occurs after the “confrontation reach”. The time reduction state may be more easily ended when the player loses after the “confrontation reach” than when the player loses.

  In the second embodiment, the time reduction state is more easily terminated when the loss occurs after the “revival effect B” than when the loss occurs after the “revival effect A”. The time reduction state may be more easily ended when the loss occurs after the “revival effect A” than when the loss occurs after the “B”.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the probability that “resurrection effect B” is performed after “resurrection effect B” is higher than the probability that “resurrection effect A” is performed after “resurrection effect A”. However, the probability that “Restoration effect A” is performed after “Resurrection effect A” is higher than the probability that “Resurrection effect B” is performed after “Resurrection effect B”. May be.

  In the second embodiment, in “Restoration effect A” or “Restoration effect B”, there is a case where execution of “Big hit game 3” is suggested or not, but “Resurrection effect A”. "Or" Restoration effect B "may necessarily indicate execution of" Big jackpot game 3 ". In this case, when “Restoration effect A” or “Restoration effect B” is performed, “Big hit game 3” is always performed. Therefore, by executing “Restoration effect A” or “Restoration effect B”, It is possible to suggest execution and to increase the interest of the game.

  In the second embodiment, the execution of the “revival resurrection effect A” is selected based on the effect mode of the “line notice”, but the “resurrection effect A” is executed based on other conditions. May be selected. For example, only the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern may be referred to select execution of “revival resurrection effect A”, or a notice effect other than “serif notice” may be referred to and “revival resurrection effect A” may be selected. Execution may be selected.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the probability that “resurrection effect B” will be performed after a loss is suggested by “settlement reach” rather than the probability that “resurrection effect A” is performed after “losing effect” is suggested by “confrontation reach”. Although the execution probability is higher, the “Restoration A The probability that “is performed” may be higher in execution probability.

  Further, in the second embodiment, “determining reach” is performed only when it is determined that “falling winning” is determined by the falling determination, but it is determined that “falling is not winning” is determined by the falling determination. In such a case, “settlement reach” may be performed.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when it is determined that “fall winning” is determined by the fall determination, rather than the probability that “confrontation reach” is performed when it is determined “fall winning” by the fall determination, “ The probability of `` settlement reach '' is higher than the probability of execution, but when it is determined that `` fall winning '' is determined by the fall judgment, the probability of `` settlement reach '' is `` The execution probability may be higher when the probability of “confrontation reach” is performed when it is determined that the “winning win” is determined.

  In the third embodiment, the “RUSH hold change effect” in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” is a prefetch effect using the hold icon HA, but may be a prefetch effect that does not use the hold icon HA. . For example, a strong enemy character may be displayed on the display unit 50a. The “revenge hold change effect” in the “revenge mode” is a prefetch effect using the hold icon HA, but may be a prefetch effect that does not use the hold icon HA. For example, the main character may be displayed on the display unit 50a.

  In the third embodiment, the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed in the “RUSH hold change effect”, the umbrella icon B is displayed in the “revenge hold change effect”, and “RUSH hold change effect” Although the “revenge on hold change effect” is different in the effect mode, the same effect mode may be used. For example, the umbrella icon B may be displayed in both the “RUSH hold change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect”.

  Further, in the third embodiment, when the “revenge hold change effect” is performed rather than when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed, the jackpot expectation is higher, but the “revenge hold change effect” is higher. The jackpot expectation may be higher when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed than when the “effect” is performed.

  In the third embodiment, the sun icons A to C are displayed in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, and the umbrella icons A to B are displayed in the “revenge mode”. , “RUSH mode” and “revenge mode” have different hold icons HA, but the same hold icon HA may be displayed. For example, the sun icons A to C may be displayed in “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode”, or “revenge mode”.

  In the third embodiment, the “revenge hold change effect” and the “super RUSH mode” in the “revenge mode” shifted to after the completion of the 100th special figure change effect in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”. The probability of the umbrella icon B being displayed is the same in the “revenge hold change effect” in the “revenge mode” that has been transitioned by being determined as “falling winning” in the falling determination in FIG. An umbrella icon B may be displayed.

  In the third embodiment, the contents of the “normal countdown effect” and the “special countdown effect” are the contents of the effect of counting the number of special figure fluctuation effects, but may be other effects.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the “special countdown effect” is executed only when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination with respect to the special chart 2 hold corresponding to the 100th display of the special chart variable display is “big jackpot”. However, even if the result of the jackpot look-ahead determination for the special figure 2 suspension corresponding to the 100th special figure variable display is “lost”, the “special countdown effect” It may be executed.

  In the third embodiment, the “RUSH hold” based on the result of the fall-ahead read-ahead determination is more effective in the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects than in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”. Although the execution probability of “change effect” is high, the result of the fall prefetching determination is more in the first to 100th special figure change effects than in the 101st and subsequent special figure change effects in the “super RUSH mode”. The execution probability of “RUSH hold change effect” based on the above may be increased.

  Further, in the third embodiment, it is determined that the jackpot look-ahead determination is “big hit” in the special figure change effect after the 101st time than in the first to 100th special figure change effect in the “super RUSH mode”. Although the execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” in the case of the determination is increased, in the first to 100th special figure change effects than in the 101st and subsequent special figure change effects in the “super RUSH mode”. However, the execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” when it is determined that the jackpot prefetch determination is “big jackpot” may be high.

  In the basic embodiment, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed in synchronism with the special symbol variable display. However, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are not composed of three symbols. You may make it comprise symbols other than three, such as two. For example, you may provide two symbols divided by special figure 1 and special figure 2. Moreover, you may provide one symbol common in special figure 1 and special figure 2. FIG. In these cases, the image may be displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, and the sub control board 120 may perform the control. Further, an LED device that displays a symbol may be provided in an area other than the game area 6 of the game board 1. In this case, the control of the LED device may be performed by the main control board 100 or the sub control board 120.

  In the basic embodiment, the special figure 2 determination process is preferentially performed, but the special figure 1 determination process may be preferentially performed. Further, the special figure determination process may be performed in the order stored in the holding storage unit for the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number.

  In the basic embodiment, the variable display of FIG. 1 and the variable display of FIG. 2 are not performed in parallel, but the variable display of FIG. 1 and the variable display of FIG. 2 are performed in parallel. You may comprise as follows.

  In the basic embodiment, the main control board 100 performs basic control related to the progress of the game, and the sub control board 120 performs basic control related to the progress of the presentation according to the progress of the game (control of the game). As described above, the game control and the presentation control are performed on different substrates, but may be configured to be performed on one substrate. In this case, the image control board 140 may be included in the one board, or may be provided separately from the one board.

  In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention can be applied to other ball game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
