Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a jackpot game that is advantageous to a player is generated when a predetermined jackpot display result is displayed in a symbol variation game performed by varying symbols.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a kind of gaming machine, a random number for determining a big hit is acquired when a game ball enters a start winning opening arranged on the gaming board, and the value of the random number is determined in advance. Depending on whether or not the big hit determination value matches, the big hit lottery of whether or not the big hit is done. In addition, a symbol change game is executed by changing the symbol based on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, and when the jackpot lottery is won, the jackpot symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state and the big prize opening is in an open state The big hit game that will be started.

  In the big hit game, normally, a plurality of round games are performed in which one time is taken from the opening of the big prize opening to the closing of the winning condition. End conditions for round games include the maximum number of game balls that have entered the grand prize opening when the elapsed time from the opening of the big prize opening reaches a predetermined time, and during one round game The case where the number is reached is known.

  Such a pachinko gaming machine is generally set with an opening time (for example, 30 s) in which an upper limit number of balls (for example, 9 balls) can enter, and is a round game that constitutes a big hit game. The number of prize balls that can be obtained in a single big hit game is also increased or decreased by changing the number of times.

  Further, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to recognize that a big hit game has occurred, and in order to quickly develop the game, the opening time of the big prize opening is short (for example, 0.04 s). There is a case where a set jackpot game is generated, and a game ball that hardly wins a game and does not give a chance to win a prize ball is disclosed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a launch handle HD, and when the launch handle HD is rotated, a game ball is launched onto the game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with an effect button Bt as operation means (effect operation means) that can be operated by the player. The frame body 10a of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a frame effect button WBt as special operation means (effect operation means) that can be operated by the player, apart from the effect button Bt. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a movable body K as a movable effect member that can be displaced in the vertical direction.

  The game board YB is provided with a first special symbol display device 11 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In the first special symbol display device 11, a variation game (design variation game, first symbol variation game) in which a plurality of types of symbols (special symbol, first special symbol) are varied and displayed is performed. In the present embodiment, the variable game played on the first special symbol display device 11 may be simply referred to as “first variable game”. The game board YB is provided with a second special symbol display device 12 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In the second special symbol display device 12, a variation game (design variation game, second symbol variation game) is displayed in which a plurality of types of symbols (special symbol, second special symbol) are varied and displayed. In the present embodiment, the variable game played on the second special symbol display device 12 may be simply referred to as “second variable game”. The first variation game and the second variation game are configured not to be executed at the same time.

  In the present embodiment, the first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 as the display means correspond to lottery results of winning lottery (large lottery and small hit lottery) from a plurality of types of special symbols. One special symbol to be selected is selected, and the selected special symbol is stopped and displayed upon completion of the variable game. The special symbols are classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a big hit (big hit display result), a small hit symbol that can recognize a small hit (small hit display result), and an outlier symbol that can recognize a loss. When the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is given a big hit game, and when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is given a small hit game.

  The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 13 for displaying images. In the effect display device 13 as the effect execution means, the image display means, and the notification means, display effects related to the first variable game and the second variable game are performed. Specifically, a decorative design variation game in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols are varied in a plurality of columns is performed as the display effect.

  The effect display device 13 is configured such that a plurality of types of decorative symbols can be displayed in a variable manner and stopped for each column. The effect display device 13 is configured with a larger display area than the first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. The For this reason, in principle, the player can recognize the winning or losing from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in each column of the effect display device 13 along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the variation game is started. When the variable game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to change), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle symbol) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 13. ), The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative symbols in the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are stopped and displayed as the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) This is a state in which the decorative design of is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol. Further, in the present embodiment, after the start of the variable game, the left column that first stops the decorative symbols is the first stop display column, and the right column that next stops and displays the decorative symbols is the second stop display column. Finally, the middle row where the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed is the third stop display row.

  In addition, on the effect display device 13, the symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12 is stopped and displayed. More specifically, a special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12 corresponds to a symbol combination by a decorative symbol that is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. For example, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12, the jackpot symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 in principle. Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12, the off symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13.

  In addition, when the small hit symbol (small hit display result) is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12, the probability change suggestion symbol is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 13. Further, even when a big win symbol that can recognize a big hit is displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12 as a fixed stop display, a probability change suggestion symbol may be displayed on the effect display device 13 as a fixed stop display. is there. This probability variation suggestion symbol is a symbol that suggests the possibility of being given a probability variation state (probability variation state) that changes the winning probability of jackpot from a low probability state to a high probability state. In the present embodiment, as the probability variation suggestion symbol by the decorative drawing, a predetermined symbol combination corresponds to a symbol combination in which symbols in all rows are different. For this reason, when the probability change suggestion symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, it is difficult for the player to specify the jackpot symbol as it is displayed in the fixed stop state, and it is easy to be specified by the player as if the outlier symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration symbol with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration symbol is selected from the symbol combinations by a some decoration symbol with respect to one special symbol.

  Below the effect display device 13, a distribution start unit SU as a distribution start means is disposed. This distribution start unit SU has a first start winning opening 14 and a second starting winning opening 15, and a game ball that has entered from the entrance 16 is used for the first start winning opening 14 and the second start opening. It is a unit that alternately distributes to the winning opening 15.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sorting start unit SU is provided with a entrance 16 (predetermined area) through which a game ball can always enter. Behind the entrance 16 are a first start winning opening 14 as a first starting means (first starting passage area) and a second starting winning opening 15 as a second starting means (second starting passage area). A path that can be branched into any of the above is formed. At the branch location between the first start winning opening 14 and the second starting winning opening 15, a game ball that has entered from the entering opening 16 is distributed alternately to the first starting winning opening 14 and the second starting winning opening 15. A distribution member 17 is provided. The distribution member 17 as the distribution means is disposed so as to be rotatable within a range of a predetermined angle around the rotation shaft 17a. The sorting member 17 is formed with a holding portion 17d having two holding areas 17b and 17c that can hold a game ball. When the game ball is held in one of the holding regions 17b and 17c, the sorting member 17 rotates about the rotation shaft 17a by the weight of the game ball, and the first start winning port 14 and the second start winning port 15 and the game ball can be held in the other of the holding areas 17b and 17c.

  As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the sorting member 17 is arranged at a first position where the holding region 17 b is located below the entrance 16. At this time, when a game ball enters the entrance port 16, the game ball is held in the holding area 17b. Then, the distribution member 17 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft 17a by the weight of the game ball held in the holding area 17b as viewed from the front. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2B, the game balls held in the holding area 17 b are distributed to the first start winning opening 14, and the holding area 17 c is positioned below the ball opening 16. The distribution member 17 is arranged at the position.

  Next, when a game ball enters the entrance 16 when the sorting member 17 is disposed at the second position, the game ball is held in the holding area 17c. Then, the sorting member 17 rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft 17a by the weight of the game ball held in the holding region 17c as viewed from the front. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2A, the game balls held in the holding area 17 c are distributed to the second start winning opening 15, and the holding area 17 b is positioned below the ball opening 16. The distribution member 17 is arranged at the position.

  Further, the distribution start unit SU is provided with a first start sensor SE1 (see FIG. 9) that detects a game ball that has entered the first start winning opening 14. When the first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the first start winning opening 14, the start condition for the first variable game can be established. In addition, when a first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the first start winning opening 14, a predetermined number of game ball payout conditions are established.

  Further, the distribution start unit SU is provided with a second start sensor SE2 (see FIG. 9) that detects a game ball that has entered the second start winning opening 15. When the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball that has entered the second start winning opening 15, the start condition for the second variable game can be established. In addition, when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball that has entered the second start winning opening 15, a predetermined condition for paying out game balls as award balls is established.

  Further, on the right side of the effect display device 13, a third start winning device 19 having a third start winning port 18 into which a game ball can enter is disposed. The third start winning device 19 is provided with a third start sensor SE3 (see FIG. 9) that detects a game ball that has entered the third start winning port 18. When the third start sensor SE3 detects a game ball that has entered the third start winning opening 18, the start condition for the second variable game can be established. In addition, when the third start sensor SE3 detects a game ball that has entered the third start winning port 18, a predetermined number of game balls as payout conditions are established.

  Further, the third start winning device 19 is provided with an opening / closing blade (ordinary electric accessory) 20 that opens and closes by the operation of the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 (see FIG. 9). The third start winning opening 18 is always closed with the opening / closing blade 20 closed. In a state in which the opening / closing blade 20 as the opening / closing means is closed, the third start winning opening 18 is in a state where it is impossible to enter a ball (a state where the ball entry is restricted). When a predetermined opening condition is satisfied, the opening / closing blade 20 is opened and opened only once or a plurality of times for a predetermined opening time. In a state where the opening / closing blade 20 is opened, the third start winning opening 18 is in a state where it is possible to enter a ball (a state where the ball is allowed to enter).

  Further, in the lower right portion of the effect display device 13 (on the right side of the sorting start unit SU), there is provided a big winning device 22 having a big winning port 21 through which a game ball can be entered. The special winning device 22 as a special winning means is provided with a count sensor SE4 (see FIG. 9) that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 21. When the count sensor SE4 detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 21, a payout condition for game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls is established.

  Further, the special winning device 22 is provided with a special winning opening door 23 that opens and closes by the operation of the special winning solenoid SOL1. The big prize opening 21 is always closed with the big prize opening door 23 closed. When the big hit game is awarded, the big prize opening door 23 is opened according to the kind of the big hit game given, the big prize opening 21 is opened, and the opening of the game ball is allowed by the opening. . For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. In the present embodiment, the jackpot game is in an advantageous state advantageous to the player because a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls can be obtained. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by an internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is stopped and displayed in the variable game (the establishment of an advantageous condition). When a small hit game is awarded, the big prize opening door 23 is opened and the big prize opening 21 is opened as in the big hit game.

  A first hold display device 24 is disposed on the game board YB. The first hold display device 24 indicates the number of first variable games whose execution is held. Specifically, the first hold display device 24 enters the first start winning opening 14 to satisfy the start condition for the first variable game while the first variable game start condition (first condition) This indicates the number of first variable games whose execution (start) has been suspended because the execution condition) has not yet been established, so-called the number of stored start suspensions (hereinafter referred to as the first reserved memory number).

  A second on-hold display device 25 is disposed on the game board YB. The second hold display device 25 indicates the number of second variable games whose execution is held. Specifically, the second hold display device 25 enters the second start winning opening 15 and the third start winning opening 18 to satisfy the start condition of the second variable game, while the second change winning opening 15 Since the game execution condition (second execution condition) has not yet been established, the number of second variable games whose execution (start) has been suspended, the so-called start-pending memory number (hereinafter, the second pending memory number). ).

  In addition, a normal symbol display device 26 is disposed on the game board YB. In the normal symbol display device 26, a normal symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as a “general symbol”) based on a normal symbol that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “normal symbols”). May be indicated as “game”).

  The player can recognize the normal hit or the normal deviation from the general map finally displayed in the general game (the display result derived in the general game). If the common symbol stopped on the normal symbol display device 26 is a normal symbol, the normal symbol can be recognized. When the normal winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal winning game is given to the player. In addition, when the usual figure stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 26 is a symbol that is normally off, the normal deviation can be recognized from the usual symbol.

  In addition, on the right side of the effect display device 13, an operation gate 27 is disposed as an opening / closing trigger passage region. The operation gate 27 is provided with a gate sensor SE5 that detects a winning (passed) game ball. When the operation gate 27 detects the game ball (detects passage), the start condition for the usual game can be established. The usual game is performed in order to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blade 20 of the third start winning opening 18 is opened (whether a game ball can be inserted into the third starting winning opening 18). It is a production that is called. If the lottery result of the usual game is a normal win and a game is given per universal figure, the opening / closing blade 20 is opened and the third start winning opening 18 is opened, and the game ball can be won. That is, when a game is given per game, it becomes easier for the game ball to enter the third start winning opening 18 by opening the opening / closing blade 20, and the player can change the start condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. You can get a chance to get easily.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function is provided. The probability variation function is a function that can give a probability variation state (probability variation state) in which the lottery probability of the big hit lottery varies from a low probability to a high probability after the big hit game ends. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the probability variation end condition is satisfied. The probability variation state can be advantageous to the player because the lottery probability of the jackpot lottery fluctuates with high probability and the jackpot is likely to occur.

  In the present embodiment, a function for shortening the variation time (hereinafter referred to as “variation”) is provided. The variable function is a function that can give a variable time shortening state (hereinafter, referred to as “variable state”) advantageous to the player after the big hit game ends. In the variable state, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of the lottery per normal figure is shortened compared to when the variable state is not given (non-variable state). In the variable state, the probability of winning the normal lottery is higher in the variable state than in the non-variable state. Further, in the variable speed state, when the lottery per common figure is won, the opening time of the opening / closing blade 20 based on the fact that one lottery per lottery is won is longer than in the non-variable state. Also, during the variable state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened compared to during the non-variable state, especially when the variation time of the variable game in which the off-line display result is stopped and displayed is shortened. There are many.

  In this embodiment, the variable state is provided until the variable end condition is satisfied. The variable speed state can be advantageous for the player because the opening / closing blade 20 operates advantageously for the player and the rate of entering the third start winning award 18 per unit time is improved. From the above, in the variable speed state, a state in which the ball entering rate to the third start winning opening 18 of the game ball is improved than usual is given. It should be noted that the shortened state (entrance rate improved state) can be imparted even during the probable state.

  In the present embodiment, the entrance 16 in the sorting start unit SU is provided in the first flow path X mainly including the left side of the game board YB. On the other hand, the third start winning device 19 (third start winning port 18 and opening / closing blade 20), the big winning device 22 and the operation gate 27 are provided in the second flow path Y mainly on the right side of the game board YB. ing. For this reason, in an unchangeable state where it is difficult for a game ball to enter the third start winning opening 18, the game is advanced so as to fire the game ball into the first flow path X, and the game is played to the third start winning opening 18. In the variable state where the ball is easy to enter, the game is advanced so as to fire the game ball in the second flow path Y. Further, even during a big hit game in which a game ball can enter the big winning device 22, the game is advanced so as to fire the game ball into the second flow path Y.

Next, the jackpot game in this embodiment will be described.
The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable game and the game is finished. When the big hit game starts, the opening time is set. And in this opening time, the opening effect which shows the start of a big hit game is performed first. In addition, when the opening time ends, a round game in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is performed a plurality of times up to a predetermined prescribed number of rounds. In one round game (unit round game), the large winning opening 21 can be opened for a predetermined number of times (upper limit number of rounds within the round), and the upper limit number of game balls are won or a prescribed time When (round game time) elapses, the round game ends and the special winning opening 21 is closed. In the present embodiment, in a single round game, there may be a case where the grand prize winning opening 21 can be opened for a plurality of times, and within the round between the closing of the special winning prize opening 21 and the next opening. The interval time is set. In round games, round effects are performed. When each round game is finished, a round interval time for closing the special winning opening 21 is set. When all round games are finished, an ending time is set. Also, during this ending time, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  In the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from a plurality of types of big hits, and a big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit type is given. And, which of the big hits among a plurality of types of big hits is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) determined when winning the big hit lottery.

  The small hit game is started after the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable game and the game ends. When the small hit game is started, the ending time is set after the special winning opening 21 is opened a predetermined number of times. When the ending time is over, the small hit game is finished. Note that after the small hit game is over, the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is continued.

Here, the specifications of so-called pachinko gaming machines, such as the winning probability of the jackpot lottery and the contents of the jackpot game will be described.
In FIG. 3, “big hit probability” indicates the winning probability (during the non-probability change state and during the probability change state) of the big hit determination (lottery). The “small hit probability” indicates the winning probability (first variable game and second variable game) of the small hit determination (lottery). Further, “when the start sensor is detected” indicates the number of payout prize balls when each of the start sensors SE1 to SE3 detects a game ball, and “when the count sensor is detected” indicates when the count sensor SE4 detects a game ball. Indicates the number of prize balls to be paid out.

  In FIG. 4, “type and ratio of symbol” indicates the type of special symbol for each variable game and the ratio for determining the type of special symbol (type of jackpot). The “specified number of rounds” (shown as “specified number of R” in the figure) indicates the number of round games in one big hit game. “Probability change state after winning” indicates whether or not the probability change state is given after the big hit game, and when it is given, how long it will be given. “Variable state after winning” indicates whether or not the variable state is granted after the end of the big hit game, and if so, how long it will be granted. In the present embodiment, the probability variation state is always given regardless of the type of jackpot, with 71 fluctuation games as the upper limit. The big hit to which the probability variation state is given in this way is shown as the probability variation big hit (advantageous big hit). Also, in this embodiment, except in the case of winning the jackpot based on the symbol ZK in the non-probability changing state and the non-changing shortening state, the winning state is given with 71 variable games as the upper limit when winning the jackpot. Is done. On the other hand, if the jackpot based on the symbol ZK is won in the non-probable change state and the non-change state, the change state is not given.

  “OP” represents the opening time. “ED” indicates an ending time. “Upper limit number of entering balls” indicates the number that can be entered in one round game. In the present embodiment, 0.6 s is defined as the round interval time.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol classified as symbols ZA1 to ZI1, ZA2 to ZI2 is displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 as a fixed stop display, and classified as symbols Za1 to Zi1 and Za2 to Zi2. When the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12, a big hit game with a long total opening time is given. Such jackpots are referred to as long-open jackpots, and jackpot games based on these jackpots are referred to as long-open jackpot games.

  In addition, in the long open big hit game, the AT number (so-called “attacker open number”) that is a reference of the upper limit number of times that the big winning opening 21 is opened is defined, and the AT number depends on the type of long open big hit. It is prescribed to be different. Specific AT times are defined as 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 times. In the present embodiment, a big hit game in which the number of ATs is 100 is indicated as an AT100 big hit game, and a big hit given the AT100 big hit game is indicated as an AT100 big hit. Similarly, the types of jackpot games and types of jackpots are also shown for other AT times. In addition, the numerical value shown in parentheses is defined as the actual upper limit opening count. Thus, the upper limit opening number of times for opening the big winning opening 21 during the big hit game is defined to be different depending on the type of the big hit.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the big hit symbol classified into symbols ZJ and ZK and the small hit symbol classified into symbol ZL are displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 in a fixed stop state, and classified into symbols Zj. When the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol classified into the symbol Zl are displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 as a fixed stop display, a winning game with a short total release time is given. Such hits are indicated as short open hits, and hit games based on such hits are indicated as short open per game. Further, a big hit included in a short opening is indicated as a short opening big hit, and a big hit game based on such a big hit is indicated as a short opening big hit game. In addition, in the game per short opening, the total opening time is shorter (0.08 s) than the long opening large hit game, which is a disadvantageous winning game, and further, the time for executing the winning game is shortened. (1.288s), and it is difficult to specify that it is a hit game.

  In the present embodiment, in the short open big hit game and the small hit game, the open time, the number of open times, the interval time, and the ending time of the big winning opening 21 are defined in the same way. For this reason, it is difficult to specify whether the short open big hit game or the small hit game is given from the open time, the number of open times, the interval time, and the ending time of the big winning opening 21.

  Further, in this embodiment, it is stipulated that both the first variation game and the second variation game are won by the small hit lottery, and the winning probability of the small hit lottery in each variation game is determined by each variation game. It is specified that the probability is higher than the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the non-probable variation state. In particular, it is defined that the winning probability of the small hitting lottery in the first variable game is different from the winning probability of the small hitting lottery in the second variable game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is defined that the determination probability of the jackpot type is different between the first variation game and the second variation game. In particular, the probability of winning the short open big hit is defined so as to be different between the first variable game and the second variable game. That is, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning per short opening (short opening big hit and small hit) is defined so as to be different between the first variable game and the second variable game. It should be noted that per short opening in the first variable game functions as the first specific hit, and per short opening in the second variable game functions as the second specific hit.

Here, with reference to FIG.6 and FIG.7, the opening pattern of the big winning opening 21 in a long open big hit game is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the long open big hit game, an open pattern is specified for each unit round game with the specified number of rounds as an upper limit. As shown in FIG. 7, this opening pattern has a round game time defined in a unit round game. More specifically, the upper limit number of times that the special winning opening 21 is opened, its opening time, and the interval within the round Time is specified.

  Specifically, the upper limit opening number of the special winning opening 21 is “10 times” for the opening patterns PA1 and PA2, “7 times” for the opening patterns PB1 and PB2, and “4” for the opening patterns PC1 and PC2. "3 times" is defined for the open patterns PD1 and PD2. As described above, in each round game, the upper limit opening number (the upper limit opening number in the round) of the big winning opening 21 that is equal to or less than the upper limit number of entering balls is defined.

  Further, 0.8 s is defined as the opening time (unit opening time) of all opening patterns. The launch of game balls is generally defined as about 100 shots per minute, and one game ball is fired in about 0.6 s. As described above, the unit opening time in this embodiment is defined as the time in which about one (one) game ball can enter the big winning opening 21 such as 0.6 s or more and less than 1.2 s. ing. For this reason, a situation occurs in which one game ball enters every time the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened. Moreover, the unit opening time of all the opening patterns is a fixed time, and is defined as a time that can be specified as the same by the player.

  The total opening time is 8s for the opening patterns PA1 and PA2, 5.6s for the opening patterns PB1 and PB2, 3.2s for the opening patterns PC1 and PC2, and 2 for the opening patterns PD1 and PD2. .4s is specified respectively. Considering the game ball firing interval and the upper limit number of entrance balls, the total opening time in the release patterns PB1 to PD1, PB2 to PD2 is defined as 0.6 s or more and less than 6 s. The time when less than game balls can enter is specified. For this reason, in the unit round game in which the big winning opening 21 is opened based on the opening patterns PB1 to PD1, PB2 to PD2, the round game time elapses without passing the upper limit number of game balls. It is defined as the total opening time that ends. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in the unit round game other than the first round, any one of the open patterns PB1 to PD1, PB2 to PD2 is defined. Also, when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol ZI is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11, and when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol Zi is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12. Any one of the open patterns PB1 to PD1, PB2 to PD2 is defined. That is, the plurality of round games include at least a round game in which a total opening time in which one or more balls less than the upper limit number of entering balls can enter is specified.

  In this way, in the big hit game, a plurality of round games are performed, and in each unit round game, the control for opening the big winning opening 21 is performed a plurality of times over the unit opening time. In other words, in each jackpot game, the control for opening the big prize opening 21 over the unit opening time can be executed for the upper limit opening number based on the type of jackpot.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, 0.56 s is defined for the open patterns PA1 to PD1 and 0.66 s is defined for the open patterns PA2 to PD2 as the intra-round interval time. That is, a plurality of types of times are defined for the intra-round interval time. As a result, even if the same upper limit opening number and opening time are used, the round game time can be made different by making the intra-round interval time different. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the in-round interval time is defined to alternate between 0.56 s and 0.66 s for each round game, and even in the same AT100 jackpot game, the first round A jackpot game with an in-round interval time of 0.56 s and a jackpot game with 0.66 s are defined. In this way, even if the jackpot game has the same prescribed number of rounds and the same total number of times of opening, the jackpot game with different round time and round game time in each round game is prescribed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the opening aspect of the big winning opening 21 in the long open big hit game will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8 (a), in the AT100 jackpot game, the upper limit opening number is defined as 10 in the round game of the first round, and the upper limit number of game balls entered into the big winning opening 21. If the player has not entered the ball, the special winning opening 21 is opened 10 times over the upper limit opening time, and is closed over the in-round interval time during the opening. When the first round game is completed, the game is closed for the interval time.

  Next, in the round game of the second round, the upper limit opening number is defined as seven, and when the upper limit number of game balls does not enter the big winning opening 21, the big winning opening 21 Is opened seven times over the upper limit opening time, and is closed over the in-round interval time between the opening. When the second round game ends, the game is closed for an interval time.

  Further, the unit opening time is constant, and is defined to such an extent that it can be specified that the intra-round interval time and the round interval time are the same. Therefore, if the first prize opening 21 is opened in the second round game after the first prize opening 21 is released ten times in the first round game, the player is regarded as the eleventh opening. Can be specified.

  Further, in the AT100 big hit game, the round opening game for 16 rounds is performed, so that the upper limit opening number becomes 112 times. Further, since the unit opening time is constant and is set to a time that can be specified as the same in-round interval time and round interval time, the concept of simply opening the grand prize opening 21 without having the concept of a round game. In view of this, the AT100 jackpot game can be said to be a jackpot game in which the grand prize winning opening 21 can be opened 112 times.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), in the AT90 big hit game, the round game for 15 rounds is performed, so that the upper limit opening number becomes 102 times. Further, since the unit opening time is constant and is set to a time that can be specified as the same in-round interval time and round interval time, the concept of simply opening the grand prize opening 21 without having the concept of a round game. In view of this, the AT90 jackpot game can be said to be a jackpot game in which the grand prize winning opening 21 can be opened 102 times.

  Further, comparing FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, until the big winning opening 21 is opened 102 times, the big winning opening 21 is opened in an open manner that can be specified by the player. . For this reason, until the big winning opening 21 is opened 102 times, it is difficult for the player to specify whether the AT 100 big hit game or the AT 90 big hit game is given from the open state of the big winning opening 21. Similarly, in the long open big hit game, it is difficult for the player to specify which type of big hit game is given from the predetermined number of open modes.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described based on FIG.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine. The main control board 30 as a game control means executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 as the effect control means, the image display control means, the movable effect control means and the notification control means is based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the display mode (design) of the effect display device 13. , Background, characters and other display images) are executed, and the display content is controlled according to the processing result. The effect control board 31 controls the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, the sound output mode of the speaker Sp, and the displacement mode of the movable body K based on the control signal output from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A first start sensor SE1, a second start sensor SE2, a third start sensor SE3, and a count sensor SE4 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. The gate sensor SE5, the first hold display device 24, and the second hold display device 25 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display device 26 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. Fluctuation patterns are game effects (display effects, etc.) from when a symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts variable display (the variable game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the variable game ends). It shows the pattern that becomes the base. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the contents of the variation game (such as whether there is a big hit, whether there is a reach effect, etc.) from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped. .

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies the first jackpot effect in the long open jackpot game. The variation pattern includes a probability variation suggestion variation pattern for specifying the second jackpot effect and the small hit effect in the short open big hit game. In addition, the fluctuation pattern includes a loss reach fluctuation pattern that specifies a loss reach effect that is finally set as a deviation after a predetermined effect (for example, reach effect) is performed, and a loss effect that is determined as a gap without forming a reach. There is an outlier variation pattern that identifies Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern, the probability variation suggestion variation pattern, the outlier reach variation pattern, and the outlier variation pattern.

  The first jackpot effect is an effect that the variable game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol combination of the jackpot through the reach effect. The second big hit effect and the small hit effect are effects that are developed so that the variable game finally stops and displays the probability variation suggestion symbol combination without going through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the fluctuating game is subjected to the reach effect and finally stops and displays the symbol combination of the disparity. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the variable game finally stops and displays the symbol combinations that are out of reach without going through the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed in a variable game with decorative symbols on the effect display device 13 after a reach symbol combination is formed until a jackpot symbol combination or an outlier symbol combination is derived. In this way, unlike the big hit variation pattern, the probability variation suggestion variation pattern does not go through reach production, so it is difficult to be identified when a game per short opening is given, and a variation pattern that is easily identified as the outlier variation pattern. It is.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is imparted is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is not imparted. The main control ROM 30b stores a small hit determination value used in the small hit lottery. The main control ROM 30b stores a reach determination value used in the reach lottery for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect.

  The main control RAM 30c stores various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main probability change flag indicating whether or not a probability change state is given. The main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not the variable state is given.

  Also, in the main control board 30, various random numbers used as random numbers for hit determination (random hit determination random numbers), special symbol distribution random numbers, reach effect determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers are generated. . Incidentally, the hit determination random number is a random number used for the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery. The reach determination random number is a random number used for reach lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining a special symbol (type of jackpot). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The values that can be taken by the random numbers for variation pattern distribution have different distributions for each category of outlier variation pattern, outlier reach variation pattern, probability variation suggestion variation pattern, and jackpot variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

  The main control board 30 is connected to an external output terminal Gt. The external output terminal Gt is a terminal for outputting external output information from the main control board 30 to the outside of the machine. The external output information is information related to the control contents controlled by the main control board 30 and includes hit related information (big hit related information) related to winning (winning game is given). In this embodiment, the external output terminal Gt can be connected to an external device such as a display device provided in a pachinko gaming machine or the like, or a hall computer that can be installed in a hall.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the sub-probability change flag indicating whether or not the probability change state is given is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. Further, the effect control RAM 31c stores a sub-operation flag indicating whether or not the variable state is given. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect display CPU 13 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when various control commands are input, the display content of the effect display device 13 is controlled based on the effect control program. In addition, a decoration lamp La is connected to the CPU 31a for effect control. A speaker Sp is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control CPU 31a is connected with an effect button Bt and a frame effect button WBt. In addition, a movable body motor MOT for displacing the movable body K is connected to the effect control CPU 31a.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes such processing is a random number acquisition means, a hit determination means, a big hit determination means, a big hit type determination means, a small hit determination means, a fluctuation content determination means, a state control means. The main control RAM 30c functions as a holding storage means.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 14. That is, in the first hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first detection signal output when the first start sensor SE1 detects the game ball is input. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the first hold storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified first hold storage number. Is determined to be less than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the first reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the first variable game, and the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in a predetermined storage area. At this time, the random number values related to the first variable game, the random number acquisition order in the first variable game, and the total acquisition order that does not distinguish each variable game are stored so that they can be recognized. The main control CPU 30a, based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game), adds up the first hold memory number and each hold memory number. The number of memories can be specified. Then, when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the first reserved memory number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 24 to display the updated first reserved memory number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the first hold memory information such as the updated first hold memory number and the total hold memory number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  Further, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the ball does not enter the first start winning opening 14), the main control CPU 30a plays a game in the second start winning opening 15 or the third start winning opening 18. A second hold determination is performed to determine whether or not a ball has entered. That is, in the second hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second detection signal output when the second start sensor SE2 or the third start sensor SE3 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the second hold storage number based on the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified second hold storage number. Is determined to be less than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the second reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the second variable game, and stores the predetermined values in the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in the storage area. At that time, it is stored so that it can be recognized that it is a random number value related to the second variable game, the acquisition order of the random value in the second variable game, and the comprehensive acquisition order that does not distinguish each variable game. Note that the main control CPU 30a, based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of the random value that is not yet used in the variable game), adds up the second reserved memory number and each of the reserved memory numbers. The number of memories can be specified. Then, when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the second reserved memory number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the second reserved display device 25 to display the updated second reserved memory number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating second hold storage information such as the updated second hold memory number and the total hold memory number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball and the first reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit value, the start condition for the first variable game is satisfied. As a result, information (random value or the like) for executing the first variable game is stored. Similarly, when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball and the second reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit value, the start condition for the second variable game is satisfied, and the second Information (random number value etc.) for executing the variable game is stored.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a, when the number of reserved memories does not reach the upper limit value, the first reserved memory information regardless of whether it is the first reserved memory information or the second reserved memory information. The random number value is stored so that the total acquisition order combining the stored number and the second reserved stored number can be specified. That is, the main control CPU 30a stores random numbers so that the order in which the game balls are won can be specified in the start winning ports 14, 15, 18 when the number of reserved memories has not reached the upper limit. It becomes.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
The main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number when it is not during the winning game or the symbol variation game, and determines whether any of the reserved memory numbers is greater than “0”. To do.

  When each of the number of reserved memories is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result is affirmative (if any of the number of stored storages> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines whether the random value with the earliest total acquisition order is the random value in the first variation game. It is determined whether it is a random number value in the second variation game. When the random number value with the earliest total acquisition order is the random value in the first variable game, the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied, and the main control RAM 30c A value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the storage area. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied when the random value with the fast overall acquisition order is the random value in the second variable game, and the main control RAM 30c A value indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area.

  Next, when a value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the main control CPU 30a determines that the random number value with the earliest total acquisition order is related to the first variation game. It is a numerical value, and its random value (value of hit determination random number, variation pattern distribution random number, and special symbol distribution random number) is read out. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the first hold display device 24 so as to represent the first reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating first hold storage information such as the updated first hold memory number and the total hold memory number.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the read value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). When the probability variation state is given, the determination is made with the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state (that is, the winning is made with high probability). When the probability variation state is not given, it is determined by the jackpot determination value for the non-probability variation state.

  When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value, and from among the jackpot symbols by the special symbol A final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed by the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game) is determined. Thereafter, when the determined big hit type is a long open big hit, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from the big hit fluctuation patterns based on the obtained fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers. Further, when the determined big hit type is a short open big hit, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the probability variation suggestion variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random numbers.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, outputs various control commands for the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a). In the case of the second variation game, various processes relating to the second variation game are executed.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. The change pattern designation command also instructs information on which of the first change game and the second change game is executed. At the same time as outputting the variation pattern designation command, the main control CPU 30a displays the display contents of the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) so as to start the variation of the special diagram. Control. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot can be specified. Therefore, the special symbol designation command is also a hit type designation command for designating the type of winning game. In addition, since the number of ATs in the jackpot game can be specified based on the type of the jackpot game, the special symbol designation command can be said to be the upper limit opening number information regarding the upper limit opening number of the big winning opening 21 in the jackpot game. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the final stop symbol determined based on the effect time (variation time) set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of one special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game) are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a determines the small hit determination corresponding to each fluctuation pattern in which the read random number for the hit determination is stored in the main control ROM 30b. It is determined whether or not the value matches, and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed.

  When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (in the case of the small hit), the main control CPU 30a selects the first special symbol display device 11 (second variable in the case of the second variable game) from among the small hit symbols based on the special symbols. The final symbol to be stopped and displayed by the special symbol display device 12) is determined. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the probability variation suggestion variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (not the small hit), the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c matches the reach determination value.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a displays the off symbol as the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game). ) To determine the final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlier reach variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a uses the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device in the case of the second variation game) as the off symbol. In 12), it is determined as the final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the deviation variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Next, when a value indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the main control CPU 30a determines that the random number value with the earliest total acquisition order is related to the second variation game. It is a numerical value, and its random value (value of hit determination random number, variation pattern distribution random number, and special symbol distribution random number) is read out. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 25 so as to represent the second reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the second hold storage information such as the updated second hold memory number and the total hold memory number.

Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the acquired random number, but since it is the same as the processing in the first variation game, detailed description thereof is omitted.
By executing such a special symbol start process, when the random value related to the variable game is stored, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the random value related to the first variable game is the second random game. Regardless of the random value concerned, it is determined whether or not the variable game is a big hit in the order of the overall acquisition order, and the variable game is executed.

  Also, when a big win is won in the second variable game, unlike the first variable game, a big hit game having a substantial number of rounds that can be expected to win a prize ball is likely to be awarded. As a result, when a big hit is achieved in the second variable game, it is possible to expect a prize ball to be obtained more than in the first variable game. Therefore, when the big hit game in the second floating game is awarded, it is more advantageous for the player than when the big hit game in the first floating game is given.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit, after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a starts the big hit game control based on the type of the big hit identified based on the final stop symbol, A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the substrate 31 (production control CPU 31a).

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 21 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the round game until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a prescribed time predetermined for each round game elapses. Is controlled to open the special winning opening 21 a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, one or more times).

  Then, when the round game is finished, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until a round interval time predetermined for each round game elapses. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When starting a round game, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a round designation command that can specify the number of rounds of the round game to be started to the effect control board 31. Further, when the round game is ended, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round interval command indicating that the round interval time is started to the effect control board 31.

  When the round game for the specified number of rounds ends and the round interval time further elapses, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not to give the probability variation state based on the type of special symbol (final stop symbol) that becomes the big hit symbol (that is, the type of big hit). The main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to the main probability variation flag when the probability variation state is imparted. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the value of the main probability change flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  Further, when the jackpot game is ended, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not to give a variable state based on the type of special symbol (final stop symbol) that becomes the jackpot symbol (that is, the type of jackpot). . When assigning the variable state, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the variable state is provided to the main operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30a specifies the number of times of giving the variable state, and sets the value in the main operation number flag.

  The main operation count flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed and becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded. Further, when the value of the main operation number flag is updated, the main control CPU 30a outputs an operation number command indicating the value of the main operation number flag to the effect control board 31.

  In the present embodiment, when the probability variation state and the variation state are given with the prescribed number of variable games as the upper limit, when the big hit is won, after the big hit game is over, the prescribed number of variable games are again played. As the upper limit, a probability variation state and a variation state are given. For this reason, it can be said that the control of the state to which the probability variation state and the variation state are given is extended.

  Further, when determining the small hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the type of small hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to 31 (production control CPU 31a). The main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command when starting the small hit game, and outputs an ending command when ending the small hit game. Note that when the small hit game is finished, the game state is continued, but the control other than these is the same as the process in the big hit game, and thus detailed description is omitted.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the effect display device is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols by the decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed at 13 is determined.

  In other words, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol that is a long open jackpot. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the probability change suggestion when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol that is a short open big hit. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design and the outlier reach variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and the deviation variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of deviation.

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the representation display device 13 to execute the variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Further, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the decoration lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the movable body motor MOT so as to execute the variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. To do. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the variable game and displays the determined symbol combination.

  In addition, when the jackpot symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the type of jackpot based on the final stop symbol and specifies whether or not the probability variation state is given. When the probability change state is given, after the big hit game is ended, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the probability change state is given to the sub-probability change flag. In addition, when the big hit game is awarded or when the value of the sub operation number flag becomes “0”, the sub probability variation flag is once reset.

  Further, when a jackpot symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, whether or not the variable state is given and the number of times of granting are specified based on the specified type of jackpot. When the variable state is assigned, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the variable state is assigned to the sub-variable flag. When the variable state is given, the effect control CPU 31a sets the number of operations according to the type of jackpot to the value of the sub-operation count flag. Further, when the operation control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the value of the main operation frequency flag designated by the operation frequency command, and sets the value in the sub operation frequency flag. When the big hit game is awarded or when the value of the secondary action number flag is “0”, the value indicating that the variable state is provided is deleted from the secondary variable flag.

  In the present embodiment, effects according to operations of various effect buttons Bt and WBt may be executed. Such effects include a specific effect and a special effect that can be executed when the variable state is given.

  The specific effect can be executed in a variable game a predetermined number of times (4 times in the present embodiment) after the end of the big hit game in the variable state, and is the long open big hit depending on the operation of the frame effect button WBt? No, it is an effect that suggests the number of ATs of the long open big hit game based on the long open big hit.

  In this embodiment, when the execution of the variable game by the start winning of the game ball is suspended, the preliminary determination in the variable game is performed from various random numbers stored corresponding to the start hold ball by the start winning. Is done. Specifically, whether or not it will be a hit (big hit or small hit), the type of hit in the case of hitting (type of big hit and small hit), whether or not it will be out of reach reach, and the type of variation pattern Is determined in advance. And a prefetch command is produced | generated based on the result of the prior determination, and it becomes possible to determine whether a specific effect is performed based on the prefetch command.

  On the other hand, the special effect can be executed in a variable game that is a long open big hit in the variable state, and the AT number of long open big hit games based on the long open big hit is determined according to the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt. This is a suggestion. For this reason, when the special effect is executed, it is determined that the long-open big hit game is won, and a bonus amount for the player as the number of ATs in the long open big hit game is suggested.

  Further, in the special effect, in addition to whether or not the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are operated during the operation effective period during which the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt can be accepted, the operation timing (operation time) is used. It is determined whether various operation conditions are satisfied. In addition, an operation display effect serving as an index as to whether or not various operation conditions are satisfied depending on the operation timing is executed.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12, the operation display effect in the special effect and the determination of various operation conditions will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, a circular determination area HR is displayed in the display area GH of the effect display device 13. In this determination area HR, the first specific determination area HR11, the special determination area HR2, and the second specific determination area HR12 are displayed in order from the outside, and the first specific determination area HR11 and the second specific determination area HR2 are sandwiched therebetween. The specific determination area HR12 is displayed.

  In addition, the distance between the inner periphery and the outer periphery is longer in the first specific determination region HR11 than in the special determination region HR2, and the distance between the inner periphery and the outer periphery is longer in the special determination region HR2 than in the second specific determination region HR12. It is displayed as follows.

  The determination area HR is displayed from the start to the end of the operation effective period during which the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt can be received. In addition, a circular reference image KG is displayed in the determination region HR, and is displayed so as to move once from the outer periphery to the inner periphery of the determination region HR within the operation effective period. Then, the reference image KG is displayed (stopped) in any of the determination areas HR11, HR12, and HR2 according to the operation timing (operation timing) when the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are operated, and various types are displayed according to the display results. It is determined whether or not the operation condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, an effect in which the reference image moves once from the outer periphery to the inner periphery of the determination region HR within the operation effective period is defined as one operation display effect.

  The operation condition has a plurality of types of determination modes, and an operation determination mode image SG indicating the determination mode (operation type) of the operation conditions is displayed on the center side of the second specific determination region HR12. The determination mode can be specified. In the present embodiment, the determination region HR and the reference image KG itself are displayed in the same display mode even when the operation determination mode is different.

As shown in FIG. 11, there are a plurality of types of modes for determining the operation condition. These operation determination modes include a normal operation, a continuous operation, and a single operation.
The normal operation is a determination mode in which one operation display effect is executed, and the operation condition is determined once according to the operation timing (operation time) of the effect button Bt within the operation effective period. That is, one operation display effect in which the establishment of the operation condition is determined according to the operation timing is executed as a special effect. In other words, in the special effect of the normal operation, when the operation timing of the effect button Bt in the operation effective period (normal operation effective period) is the specific operation time, it is determined that the specific operation condition is satisfied, and when the operation time is the special operation time A normal determination for determining that the special operation condition is satisfied is executed. Note that during normal operation, an image indicating “PUSH” is displayed as the operation determination mode image SG.

  The continuous operation is a determination mode in which a plurality of operation display effects are continuously executed, and the operation condition is determined a plurality of times according to the operation timing (operation timing) of the effect button Bt within the operation effective period. That is, a plurality of operation display effects that are determined to satisfy the operation condition according to the operation timing are executed as special effects. In other words, in the special effects of continuous operation, a plurality of operation effective periods are defined as the special operation effective periods separately from the operation effective periods in which the normal determination is performed, and the normal determination is executed for each of the plurality of operation effective periods. Is done. Note that during continuous operation, an image indicating “continuous” is displayed as the operation determination mode image SG.

  The one-shot operation is a determination mode in which the condition determination is performed depending on whether or not the frame effect button WBt is operated regardless of the operation timing within the operation effective period. That is, one operation display effect in which the establishment of the operation condition is determined according to the presence or absence of the operation regardless of the operation timing is executed as the special effect. At the time of one-shot operation, an image indicating a “frame” is displayed as the operation determination mode image SG.

  Specifically, in the normal operation and the continuous operation, when the reference image KG is stopped in the specific determination regions HR11 and HR12, the specific operation condition is satisfied and a good determination (GOOD determination, second determination) is performed. . On the other hand, when the reference image KG is stopped in the special determination region HR2, the special operation condition is satisfied, and the best determination (EXCELLENT determination, first determination) in which the privilege amount is larger than the good determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the best determination is reported as the number of notification ATs indicating the number of ATs in the best determination rather than the good determination, so that it is close to the actual number of ATs before the long open big hit game is started. The number of times can be notified, and the privilege amount for the player increases. Therefore, the player operates the effect button Bt so that the reference image KG is displayed not in the specific determination areas HR11 and HR12 but in the special determination area HR2.

  Further, in the one-shot operation, even if the reference image KG is stopped in the specific determination areas HR11 and HR12 and the reference image KG is stopped in the special determination area HR2, the special operation condition is satisfied and the best determination is performed. This is a determination mode. Therefore, regardless of the determination areas HR11, HR12, and HR2, the player operates the frame effect button WBt so that the reference image KG is displayed in the determination area HR. In the present embodiment, when the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not operated during the operation effective period, neither the specific operation condition nor the special operation condition is established.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 12, the operation timing in the operation effective period and the display mode of the operation display effect are associated with each other. The operation valid period is defined from the timing indicated by the symbol T0 to the timing indicated by the symbol T3. The timing from the timing indicated by the symbol T0 to the timing indicated by the symbol T1 is defined as the first specific operation period T11 in which the good determination is performed. The timing from the timing indicated by the symbol T1 to the timing indicated by the symbol T2 is defined as the special operation period T12 in which the best determination is performed. The period from the timing indicated by reference numeral T2 to the timing indicated by reference numeral T3 is defined as a second specific operation period T13 in which a good determination is made.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the operation effective period is started at the timing indicated by the symbol T0, the determination area HR is displayed and the reference image KG is displayed on the outer periphery of the first specific determination area HR11. . Then, as time elapses, the reference image KG is displaced so that the radius becomes shorter toward the center of the circle. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12B, in the specific operation period T11, the reference image KG is displayed in the first specific determination region HR11.

  Next, at the timing indicated by reference symbol T1, the reference image KG moves from the first specific determination region HR11 to the special determination region HR2, and the reference image KG is displayed on the outer periphery of the special determination region HR2. Then, as time elapses, the reference image KG is displaced so that the radius becomes shorter toward the center of the circle. Thereby, in the special operation period T12, the reference image KG is displayed in the special determination area HR2.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12C, at the timing indicated by reference numeral T2 after time has elapsed, the reference image KG moves from the special determination region HR2 to the second specific determination region HR12, and the reference image KG 2 is displayed on the outer periphery of the specific determination area HR12. Then, as time elapses, the reference image KG is displaced so that the radius becomes shorter toward the center of the circle. As a result, in the second specific operation period T13, the reference image KG is displayed in the second specific determination region HR12.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12D, the reference image KG is displayed on the inner periphery of the second specific determination region HR12 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T3 after time has elapsed, and the display of the determination region HR ends. The operation valid period ends.

  As described above, when the operation effective period is started, the determination area HR is displayed, and when the time elapses, the reference image KG is displaced in the order of the first specific determination area HR11, the special determination area HR2, and the second specific determination area HR12. As a result, the operation valid period ends. That is, in the operation effective period, the reference image KG is displayed from the first specific determination area HR11 to the special determination area HR2, and then displayed from the special determination area HR2 to the second specific determination area HR12.

  Further, in one operation effective period, after the reference image KG is removed from the special determination region HR2 and displayed in the second specific determination region HR12, it is not displayed again in the special determination region HR2. That is, it is determined that the special operation condition is satisfied again after the timing (special operation time) when the special operation condition is satisfied as the operation timing of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt is finished in one operation effective period. Not.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reference image KG is displayed so as to vary its displacement speed during the effective operation period, and in this embodiment, the reference image KG is displayed so that the displacement speed increases toward the center in the determination region HR. The For this reason, considering the size of each determination area HR11, HR12, HR2, displaying the reference image KG in the special determination area HR2 is more effective than displaying the reference image KG in the first specific determination area HR11. It's difficult.

Here, a specific example of an image displayed on the effect display device 13 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown to Fig.13 (a), in the effect display apparatus 13, the decoration symbol is displayed on a fixed stop. In this case, the variable state is not given. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), with the winning of the game ball to each start winning opening 14,15,18, the variation game is started and the variation display of the decorative symbols is started. After that, as shown in FIG. 13 (c), the decoration symbol is confirmed and stopped as a jackpot symbol, the variable game is ended, and a long open jackpot game is awarded.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (d), when the long open big hit game is started, a notification that “AT + 40” and 40 times are added as the number of notification ATs is performed. As a result, it is determined that at least the AT40 jackpot game is awarded. Then, the number of notification ATs, that is, the scheduled number of times (a guideline) at which the big prize opening 21 is opened is displayed in the denominator, and the number of times the big prize opening 21 is actually opened is displayed in the numerator. In this case, since the big winning opening 21 has not been opened since the big hit game is started, the numerator is displayed as 0.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (e), when the special winning opening 21 is opened for the first time, the number of times the special winning opening 21 is actually opened is displayed as “1”, as shown in FIG. 13 (f). When the special winning opening 21 is opened for the second time, the number of times the special winning opening 21 is actually opened is displayed as “2”. Further, when the big prize opening 21 is repeatedly opened, as shown in FIG. 13G, when the big prize opening 21 is opened for the 40th time, the number of times the big prize opening 21 is actually opened is “40”. "Is displayed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13 (h), when the special winning opening 21 is opened for the 41st time, the actual number of opening of the special winning opening 21 exceeds the notified AT number, and the notified AT number As a special display mode (notification mode). As a special display mode, a star image is superimposed and displayed on the number of notification ATs, and an image “Extra” is further displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 14A, when the special winning opening 21 is repeatedly opened and the special winning opening 21 is opened for the 46th time, the number of times the special winning opening 21 is actually opened is set to “46”. Displayed and the AT40 jackpot game ends.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14B, after the big hit game is finished, the variable state is given, and a normal background image in the variable state is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), the decorative symbol variation display is started, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14 (d), the fixed symbol is displayed as a deviated symbol, and the variation game ends.

Then, the repeated variation game is executed, and the decorative symbol variation display is started as shown in FIG. 14 (e), and then the reach state is formed as shown in FIG. 14 (f).
In this case, as shown in FIG. 14 (g), the special effect may be executed, and when the special effect is executed, it is determined that the long open jackpot has been won. As shown in FIG. 14 (h), in the operation display effect as the special effect, an image in which a character imitating a lion and a character imitating a mouse are displayed, and the determination region HR and the reference image are displayed. KG is displayed, and it is determined whether or not the operation condition is satisfied according to the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt. For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), when a good judgment is made, a character imitating a lion attacks a character imitating a mouse as shown in FIG. 15 (b). There is no notification about the addition. This makes it possible to specify that the number of notification ATs is zero.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), when the determination region HR is displayed again and the best determination is made as shown in FIG. 15 (d), as shown in FIG. 15 (e), the lion The character imitating the mouse attacks the character imitating a mouse, and “AT + 10” is displayed, and it is notified that 10 times is added as the number of notification ATs. This makes it possible to specify that the total number of notification ATs is 10 times.

  Such an operation display effect is repeatedly executed, and as shown in FIG. 15 (f), the decorative symbol is confirmed and stopped as a big hit symbol, the variable game is finished, and a long open big hit game is given.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (g), when the long open big hit game is started, it is determined that the total number of notification ATs notified in the special effect is “AT + 32” and that the number of ATs is at least 32 times. Then, the added number of notification ATs, that is, the scheduled number of times (a guideline) at which the big winning opening 21 is opened is displayed as the denominator, and the number of times that the big winning opening 21 is actually opened is displayed as a numerator.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (h), when the special winning opening 21 is opened for the first time, the number of times the special winning opening 21 is actually opened is displayed as “1”, but FIG. ), It may be notified that the number of notification ATs is added when a game ball enters the special winning opening 21 as a trigger. In this case, “AT + 1” is displayed, the total number of notification ATs is 33, and the number of notification ATs after addition is displayed in the denominator.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), when the special winning opening 21 is opened for the second time, the number of times that the special winning opening 21 has actually been opened is displayed as “2”. When “AT + 1” is displayed triggered by the entry of a game ball, the total number of notification ATs is 34, and the number of notification ATs after addition is displayed in the denominator. Then, as the game ball repeatedly enters the special winning opening 21, the total number of notification ATs becomes 40 as shown in FIG. 16C, and the number of notification ATs after addition is displayed in the denominator.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a long open big hit game is awarded, if the first digit of the notification AT number is not “0”, the first digit of the notification AT number is “0” in the round game of the first round. Until it becomes “0”, “1” is added to the number of notification ATs when a game ball enters the special winning opening 21 as an opportunity. In this embodiment, in the long open big hit game, except for the AT20 big hit in the first variable game, the upper limit open number in the first round game is 10 times, and about 10 game balls are large. The total opening time that allows entry into the winning opening 21 is defined. For this reason, in the first round game, “1” is added to the number of notification ATs triggered by the entry of a game ball into the big prize opening 21, so that the first digit of the number of notification ATs is “0”. Is possible.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16D, in the second and subsequent round games, an image in which a character imitating a lion and a character imitating a mouse are displayed, as shown in FIG. 16E. An image prompting the operation is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (f), the movable body K is displaced downward from the top in response to the operation of the effect button Bt, and “AT + 10” is displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (g). The total number of notification ATs is 50, and the number of notification ATs after addition is displayed in the denominator. Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (h), when the big winning opening 21 is repeatedly opened, the actual number of times of opening increases, and as shown in FIG. 17 (a), the long open big hit game ends. .

  As described above, when the long open big hit game is completed, the short / short state is again given, but as shown in FIG. 17 (b), it is notified that the special mode is entered. In this special mode, a specific effect may be executed, and the movable body K may be displaced downward from above in accordance with the operation of the frame effect button WBt. When the movable body K is displaced downward, it is determined that the long open big hit game is given, and the notification AT number is informed to indicate the actual AT number in the long open big hit game. .

  Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (c), when the special mode is started after the long open big hit game is finished, the background in the special mode is different from that in the special mode even in the same variable state. An image is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 17D, even when the decorative symbol variation display is started, images prompting the operation of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not displayed, as shown in FIG. In addition, there is a case where the decorative symbol is displayed as a stop symbol as a decorative symbol, and the variable game ends.

  Also, in the special mode, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), when the decorative symbol variation display is started, a reach state is formed and an image prompting the operation of the frame effect button WBt is displayed. There is. In this case, as shown in FIG. 17 (g), when the movable body K is displaced downward from above, triggered by the operation of the frame effect button WBt, “success”, “AT + 10” are displayed, It is determined that the next long open big hit game will be awarded, and it is notified that 10 is added to the number of notification ATs.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 17 (h), the decorative symbol variation display is continued, and an image prompting the operation of the frame effect button WBt is displayed (second time), as shown in FIG. 18 (a). Thus, even when the frame effect button WBt is operated, the movable body K may be displayed as “failure” or “AT + 1” without being displaced downward from above. Then, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the movable body K is displaced from the upper side to the lower side, “Restoration” and “AT + 10” are displayed, and 10 times is added to the number of notification ATs. The total number of notification ATs is 20.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 18C, the decorative symbol variation display is continued, and an image prompting the operation of the frame effect button WBt may be displayed (third time). Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), when the movable body K is displaced downward from the top when the frame effect button WBt is operated, “success” and “AT + 10” are displayed. While it is determined that a long open big hit game is granted, it is notified that 10 is added to the number of notifications AT, and the total number of notifications AT is 30. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18 (e), the decorative symbol is displayed as a big hit symbol, and is confirmed and stopped, the variable game is ended, and a long open big hit game is given.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (f), when the long open big hit game is started, “AT + 30” is displayed, and the total number (30 times) of the notification AT notified in the specific effect is notified. As a result, it is determined that at least the AT30 jackpot game is awarded.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 18 (g), when a long open big hit is made via the special mode, the actual number of open times in the big hit game before going through the special mode and a specific effect in the special mode. The sum of the notified number of notification ATs is displayed on the denominator as the planned number of times of opening (standard). Specifically, in the previous long open big hit game, the actual number of times of opening is 56 times, and the number of notifications AT notified in the specific effect is 30, so 86 times are notified as the scheduled number of opening times. In addition, the actual number of times of opening is displayed in the numerator so that it is the same as the number of times of actual opening before entering the special mode. Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (h), “1” is added to the actual number of times that the big winning opening 21 has been opened in the long open big hit game.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), the decorative symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state in the variable state, and as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the variation game is started and the variation display of the decorative symbols is started. The After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the decorative symbol may be displayed in a fixed stop state as the probability change suggestion symbol, the variable game may end, and a short open big hit game may be awarded.

  In this case, in the short open big hit game, unlike the long open big hit game, the production is continued in the same manner as in the case where the decorative symbols are displayed in a fixed and stopped state. Specifically, the background image in the variable state is displayed in a state where the decorative symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state, unlike the background image in the long open big hit game. In addition, in this embodiment, it becomes the same effect aspect also in a small hit game.

  And as shown in FIG.19 (d), when a short open big hit game is complete | finished, a change game will be started and the change display of a decoration symbol will be started. Even in this case, the background image in the variable state is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (e), the decorative symbol is displayed as a stop symbol as a decorative symbol, and the variable game ends.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 19 (f), after the short open big hit game is over, even if the special mode is not entered from the immediately following variable game, the decorative symbol change display is started. The background image in the special mode is displayed, a reach state is formed, and an image prompting the operation of the frame effect button WBt may be displayed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 19 (g), when the movable body K is displaced downward from the top when the frame effect button WBt is operated, “success”, “AT + 10” are displayed, It is determined that the next long open jackpot game will be awarded, and it is notified that 10 times will be added as the number of notification ATs. After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (h), the decorative symbol variation display is continued, and an image prompting the operation of the frame effect button WBt may be displayed (second time).

  As described above, in the short open big hit game, it is difficult to specify that the short open big hit game has been granted, and further, a notification that the special mode is entered in the variable game immediately after the short open big hit game ends is issued. Even if it is not, a specific effect can be executed in subsequent variable games.

  In the present embodiment, when the specific effect is executed after the end of the long open big hit game, there is a case where the specific effect is executed (so-called “gase”), but the specific effect is executed after the end of the short open big hit game. In this case, it is determined that the long open big hit will be obtained, without the case of being off or short open.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the effect control board 31, a special winning opening release command indicating that the special winning opening 21 is opened when performing the control for opening the special winning opening 21. Further, when a game ball wins the big winning opening 21, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a big winning opening entry command indicating the entry of the gaming ball into the big winning opening 21 to the effect control board 31.

  When such a command is input, the effect control CPU 31a stores information to that effect in the effect control RAM 31c. Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control can specify that the special winning opening 21 is opened and that the game ball has entered the special winning opening 21.

  Here, the normal long open big hit game control process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described. This process is executed when the long open big hit game is given without executing the specific effect and the special effect.

  When the long opening big hit game is won without executing the specific production and the special production, the production control CPU 31a identifies the type of the long opening big hit with the start of the long opening big hit game, and corresponds to the type of the long opening big hit The number of ATs to be specified is specified. The type of the long open big hit can be specified by a special symbol designation command inputted in the variable game that becomes the long open big hit.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a sets the specified AT number itself in the scheduled release counter assigned to the predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. This scheduled opening counter is a counter that indicates the number of times that the special winning opening 21 is to be opened. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a sets “0” to an open counter assigned to a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. The opening counter is a counter that indicates the number of times that the special winning opening 21 is actually opened.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a reads the value set in the scheduled release counter and performs control to display the value on the effect display device 13 during the opening time. In addition, during the long open big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 13 to display the value set in the scheduled release counter as the denominator and the value set in the release counter as the numerator. Thus, when the long opening jackpot is won without executing the specific effect and the special effect, the actual AT number corresponding to the type of the long opening jackpot is notified as the notification AT number.

  Then, when it is specified that the special winning opening 21 is opened, the effect control CPU 31a increases the value of the opening counter by “1”. As a result, during the long open big hit game, the actual number of times the big winning opening 21 has been opened is displayed on the effect display device 13. As described above, when the actual number of times of opening of the big winning opening 21 is equal to or more than the notified number of notification ATs, the actual winning opening 21 is actually changed according to the winning of the game ball to the big winning opening 21. A notification is made in which one time is added to the number of times of opening.

  In this embodiment, according to the type of long open big hit game, the number of notification ATs is defined as a number smaller than the upper limit number of times that the big winning opening 21 is actually opened. That is, the effect control CPU 31a displays the number of times less than the upper limit opening number at which the big winning opening 21 is opened in the long open big hit game as the notification AT number (notification upper limit opening number).

  As described above, the number of times the special winning opening 21 is actually opened may be larger than the notified number of notification ATs, and the value set in the release counter is larger than the value set in the scheduled release counter. May be. The effect control CPU 31a compares the value set in the scheduled opening counter with the value set in the opened counter, and determines that the value set in the opened counter is larger than the value set in the scheduled opening counter. In the case where it is detected, control is performed to display the number of notification ATs in a special display mode. As described above, when the actual number of times the special winning opening 21 is opened is larger than the number of notification ATs (the number of notification upper limit opening times of the special winning opening 21), notification regarding the number of ATs is performed in a special notification mode. Further, when it is determined that the value set in the opening counter is larger than the value set in the scheduled opening counter, the effect control CPU 31a sets the value set in the opening counter in the scheduled opening counter. .

  Further, when the value set in the opening counter becomes larger than a predetermined value (specified number), the effect control CPU 31a performs control to display the notification AT number in a special display mode (notification mode). I do. In the present embodiment, “1000” is defined as a predetermined value. Further, as this special display mode, an image “awakening” is displayed without displaying the number of notification ATs in the denominator. In addition, when a predetermined continuation condition is satisfied, such as when a specific effect is executed and a long open big hit game is awarded, the scheduled release counter and the open counter are held, so the value of the open counter increases cumulatively Is possible. In this way, in a single long-open big hit game, the maximum number of times the big winning opening 21 is actually opened is 112 times, but in a plurality of consecutive long open big hit games, the actual winning opening 21 is actually There are cases where the number of times of opening reaches the specified number of times, and notification regarding the number of times of AT is performed in a special display mode. As described above, when the actual number of times the special winning opening 21 is opened reaches the specified number, notification regarding the number of ATs is performed in a special notification mode.

  From here, the control regarding special effects will be described. First, the special effect determination process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described. This process is executed in response to an input of a variation pattern designation command.

  First, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the variation pattern designated by the inputted variation pattern designation command is a special variation pattern. This special variation pattern can be selected when a long open jackpot is won when a variable state is given. In particular, this special variation pattern is included in the variation pattern table that is referred to in the fifth and subsequent variation games after the end of the big hit game, and is referred to in the first to fourth variation games after the end of the big hit game. It is not included in the specific variation pattern table (see FIG. 21).

  When it is determined that the effect control CPU 31a is not the special variation pattern, the special effect determination process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the effect control CPU 31a is the special variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute a series of effects including a plurality of special effects based on the special effect pattern, and determines the special effect pattern. Is stored in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c, and the special effect determination process is terminated.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special effect determination process, when it is determined that an effect based on the special effect pattern is to be executed, the effect control CPU 31a performs control according to the progress pattern of the special effect pattern. In particular, the effect control CPU 31a displays the determination region HR and the reference image KG on the effect display device 13 at a predetermined timing, and predetermined operation conditions are set according to the operation timing of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt. It will be judged whether it was materialized.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the effect based on the special effect pattern, a plurality of progress patterns in which the development destination of the effect contents branches in accordance with the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt are defined.

  If it is determined that a special effect based on the special effect pattern is to be executed, an introductory effect that introduces the execution of the special effect is executed after the variable game is started. Then, after the introduction effect is executed, the previous attack start effect is executed. In this pre-attack start effect, a special effect of normal operation is executed, and thereafter, a special effect of either normal operation or one-shot operation is executed.

  When a special effect of normal operation is executed as the first special effect in the pre-attack start effect, when the effect button Bt is operated and the best determination is made within the operation effective period, 1 to the number of notification ATs It is notified that 10 times are added. In the present embodiment, the number of additions to be added to the number of notification ATs with the execution of the special effect is determined based on the actual number of ATs in the winning long open jackpot. In particular, when the actual number of ATs is large, a larger number of times is added to the number of notification ATs with a higher probability than when the number is small. As a specific example, when AT20 is a big hit, 1 is always added to the number of notification ATs. In addition, in the case of AT100 big hit, 1 to 10 times are added to the number of notification ATs, and one time is added to the number of notification ATs with a lower probability than in the case of AT20 big hits, which is higher than in the case of AT20 big hits. Ten times is added to the number of notification ATs with probability. On the other hand, when the performance button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, or when the operation button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, the addition of the notification AT count is notified. Not.

Next, as the second special effect in the pre-attack start effect, whether the special effect of the normal operation or the special effect of the one-shot operation is executed with a predetermined probability (operation determination mode) is determined. Is done.
When the special effect of the normal operation is determined and the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and the best determination is made, it is notified that 1 to 10 times is added to the number of notifications AT, Furthermore, it develops into a strong attack production. On the other hand, when the performance button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, or when the operation button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, the addition of the notification AT count is notified. Furthermore, it develops into a weak attack production.

  When the special effect of the one-shot operation is determined, when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, the best determination is made regardless of the operation timing, and the notification AT number is 1 to 10 times. It is informed that it will be added, and further develops into a strong attack effect. On the other hand, when the frame effect button WBt is not operated within the operation effective period, the addition of the notification AT number is not notified, and further, it develops to a weak attack effect.

  Next, in the strong attack effect, a special effect of continuous operation (5 times) is executed. That is, five times of operation display effects (operation valid period) are defined for one special effect. When a special effect of continuous operation (five times) is executed, in each operation effective period, when the effect button Bt is operated and the best determination is performed within the operation effective period, the number of notification ATs is 1 to 1. It is notified that 10 times are added. On the other hand, in each operation effective period, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, or when the effect button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, a notification is made. The addition of the AT number is not notified.

  In addition, a special effect of normal operation is executed in the weak attack effect. That is, one operation display effect (operation valid period) is defined for one special effect. Then, when the special effect of the normal operation is executed, when the effect button Bt is operated and the best determination is made within the operation effective period, it is notified that 1 to 10 times is added to the number of notifications AT. Is done. On the other hand, when the performance button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, or when the operation button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, the addition of the notification AT count is notified. Not.

  Thus, the determination mode of the special effect differs between the strong attack effect and the weak attack effect. In addition, the strong attack effect has a greater number of executions of the operation display effect than the weak attack effect, and the number of notification ATs to be notified tends to increase. In other words, it can be said that the strong attack production has a larger privilege amount than the weak attack production.

  Then, after the strong attack effect or the weak attack effect is executed, the post attack start effect is executed. Thereafter, in the attack start effect, a special effect of either normal operation or one-shot operation is executed. Thereafter, in the attack start effect, whether the special effect of the normal operation or the special effect of the one-shot operation is executed (operation determination mode) is determined with a predetermined probability.

  When the special effect of the normal operation is executed, when the effect button Bt is operated and the best determination is performed within the operation effective period, it is notified that 1 to 10 times is added to the number of notifications AT, Furthermore, it develops into a strong attack production. On the other hand, when the performance button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, or when the operation button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, the addition of the notification AT count is notified. Furthermore, it develops into a weak attack production.

  When the special effect of the one-shot operation is executed, when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, the best determination is performed regardless of the operation timing, and the notification AT number is 1 to 10 times. It is informed that it will be added, and further develops into a strong attack effect. On the other hand, when the frame effect button WBt is not operated within the operation effective period, the addition of the notification AT number is not notified, and further, it develops to a weak attack effect.

Next, in the strong attack effect, a special effect of continuous operation (5 times) is executed, and thereafter, a special effect of any one of the normal operation and the one-shot operation is executed.
A special effect of continuous operation (five times) is executed as the first special effect in the strong attack effect. That is, five times of operation display effects (operation valid period) are defined for one special effect. When a special effect of continuous operation (five times) is executed, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and the best determination is made in each operation effective period, the number of notification ATs is set to 1. It is notified that 10 times is added. On the other hand, in each operation effective period, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, or when the effect button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, a notification is made. The addition of the AT number is not notified.

Next, as the second special effect in the strong attack effect, it is determined whether the special effect of the normal operation or the special effect of the one-shot operation is executed with a predetermined probability (operation determination mode). The
When the special effect of the normal operation is determined, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation valid period and the best determination is made, the decision 1 effect is made based on the actual number of ATs of the winning long open jackpot. Or it develops to the finalization 2 production. In the present embodiment, when winning at AT100 jackpot, it will be developed into a settlement 1 effect to notify that it has won at AT100 jackpot, and when it is won at other long opening jackpots, the number of notification ATs notified. It develops into a finalization 2 production that informs the total. On the other hand, when the performance button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good judgment is made, or when the operation button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, the winning long open jackpot is actually Regardless of the number of ATs, the finalization of the finalization 3 effect is announced.

  When a special effect of one-shot operation is executed, when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, the best judgment is made regardless of the timing of the operation, and it develops into a decision 1 effect or a decision 2 effect. To do. On the other hand, when the production button WBt is not operated within the operation valid period, the final 3 production is developed regardless of the actual number of ATs for the long open jackpot.

  In the weak attack effect, a special effect of continuous operation (3 times) is executed, and thereafter, a special effect of normal operation is executed. Thereafter, a special effect of either normal operation or one-shot operation is executed.

  As a first special effect in the weak attack effect, a special effect of continuous operation (3 times) is executed. In other words, three operation display effects (operation valid period) are defined for one special effect. When a special effect of continuous operation (three times) is executed, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and the best determination is made in each operation effective period, the notification AT count is 1 It is notified that 10 times is added. On the other hand, when a special effect of continuous operation (3 times) is executed, in each operation effective period, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good determination is made, When the effect button Bt is not operated within the effective period, the addition of the notification AT count is not notified.

Next, a special effect of normal operation is executed as the second special effect in the weak attack effect.
When the special effect of the normal operation is executed, when the effect button Bt is operated and the best determination is made within the operation effective period, it is notified that 1 to 10 times is added to the number of notifications AT. . On the other hand, when the special effect of the normal operation is executed, the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and the good determination is performed, or the effect button Bt is operated within the operation effective period. If not, the addition of the notification AT count is not notified.

Next, as the third special effect in the weak attack effect, it is determined whether the special effect of the normal operation or the special effect of the one-shot operation is executed with a predetermined probability (operation determination mode). The
When the special effect of the normal operation is determined, when the effect button Bt is operated within the operation valid period and the best determination is made, the decision 1 effect is made based on the actual number of ATs of the winning long open jackpot. Or it develops to the finalization 2 production. On the other hand, when the performance button Bt is operated within the operation effective period and a good judgment is made, or when the operation button Bt is not operated within the operation effective period, the winning long open jackpot is actually Regardless of the number of times of AT, it will develop into a finalization 3 production.

  When a special effect of one-shot operation is executed, when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, the best judgment is made regardless of the timing of the operation, and it develops into a decision 1 effect or a decision 2 effect. To do. On the other hand, when the production button WBt is not operated within the operation valid period, the final 3 production is developed regardless of the actual number of ATs for the long open jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, the number of notification ATs is determined so as not to exceed the actual number of ATs in each special effect. Further, when the number of notification ATs is less than 20 before the determination 2 effect or the determination 3 effect is executed, such as when various operation buttons Bt and WBt are not operated, the determination 2 effect or the determination 3 In the production, at least 20 notifications are notified as the number of notifications AT.

  In this way, the special performance is executed before the start of the long open big hit game, whereby the AT number is specified based on the type of the long open big hit, and the AT number (the big winning opening 21 is based on the AT number). Of the upper limit opening number) is performed. In the present embodiment, it is defined that a special effect (second determination) of a one-shot operation can be easily performed only when the branchable condition is satisfied. That is, it is defined that the special effect (second determination) of the one-shot operation is more easily performed when the branchable condition is satisfied than when the branchable condition is not satisfied.

  When it is determined that an effect based on such a special effect pattern is to be executed, the effect control CPU 31a performs an operation effective in which the operation condition is determined in a predetermined determination mode at a timing according to the progress pattern of the special effect pattern. Start the period. Then, the effect control CPU 31a detects the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt, identifies the presence / absence of the operation of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt, and the operation timing based on the detection result. It is determined whether or not the operation condition is satisfied.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines the number of notification ATs corresponding to the actual number of ATs based on the type of long open big hit and the determination result of whether or not the operation condition is satisfied. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 31a stores information indicating the determined number of notification ATs in the effect control CPU 31a. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a performs control for notifying the notification AT frequency by causing the effect display device 13 to display the determined notification AT frequency.

  When the branchable condition is satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a determines a plurality of predetermined types based on the determination result as to whether or not a predetermined operation condition is satisfied in the special effect (operation effective period). From the contents of the effects, the contents of the effects of development that develop after the end of the operation valid period are determined. In the present embodiment, a branchable condition is established for the pre-attack start effect, the post-attack start effect, the strong attack effect immediately after the post-attack start effect, and the weak attack effect. In other words, the production control CPU 31a performs control to change (change) the production contents of the development destination when the special operation condition is established and when the special operation condition is established during the operation effective period. In particular, it is stipulated that the determination mode differs depending on the contents of the development that is the development destination, and when the special operation condition is satisfied and the best determination is performed, the specific operation condition is satisfied and the good determination is performed. The production control CPU 31a determines the production content that is highly advantageous to the player as the development content. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that executes such processing functions as an operation detection unit, an operation condition determination unit, and an effect content determination unit.

  Next, the special length opening big hit game control process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described. This process is executed when a special effect is executed and a long open big hit game is awarded. Note that here, the control that is different from the normal long open big hit game control process is mainly described here, and the description of the control similar to the normal long open big hit game control process is omitted. .

  When the special effect is executed and the long opening jackpot is won, the performance control CPU 31a identifies the type of long opening jackpot with the start of the long opening jackpot game, and determines the AT number corresponding to the type of long opening jackpot. Identify.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a reads from the effect control RAM 31c the total number of notification ATs notified when the special effect is executed, and assigns information indicating the total number of notification ATs to a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. Is set to the scheduled release counter. In addition, since the number of notification ATs notified along with the execution of the special effect is displayed as a denominator, when the number of notification ATs matches the actual number of ATs, the actual number of ATs themselves is the number of notifications AT. If it is notified, but does not match, the number of notification ATs smaller than the actual number of ATs will be notified. In other words, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the number of times less than the actual number of ATs based on the type of long open jackpot can be notified as the number of notification ATs.

  The effect control CPU 31a adds the notification AT number and the actual AT number by adding the notification AT number when the total number of notification ATs does not match the actual AT number during the long open big hit game. An effect that matches is executed.

  Specifically, the CPU 31a for effect control determines the number of notification ATs depending on whether or not the last digit of the scheduled release counter is “0”, triggered by the input of a round designation command for starting the first round game. It is determined whether or not the last digit of the total is “0”. When it is determined that the last one digit of the total number of notification ATs is not “0”, the performance control CPU 31a enters the grand prize opening 21 in response to the input of the big prize opening ball entry command in the first round game. Identifies the incoming game ball. Then, when the game ball has entered the special winning opening 21, the effect control CPU 31a adds “1” to the scheduled release counter until the last digit of the scheduled release counter becomes “0”. The notification is performed by adding 1 to the number of notification ATs.

  As described above, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the addition condition is satisfied as the game ball enters the big winning opening 21 in the first round game (specific period) during the long open big hit game. Then, when such an addition condition is satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a performs addition notification in which a predetermined number of times is added to the number of notification ATs.

  In addition, the presentation control CPU 31a is triggered by the input of the round designation command for starting the second and subsequent round games, and if the notification AT count still does not match the actual AT count, the notification AT count and the actual AT count are The difference from the AT number is calculated. Then, the effect control CPU 31a executes a movable effect of displacing the movable body K from above in accordance with the operation of the effect button Bt within the operation effective period, and causes the scheduled release counter to have a predetermined value (in this embodiment, (5 times, 10 times, 15 times, etc.) and a notification for adding the number of times corresponding to a predetermined value to the number of notification ATs. In this embodiment, based on the difference between the number of notification ATs and the actual number of ATs, one or more movable effects are executed until the difference is added to the number of notifications AT. . In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a has a different probability depending on the difference between the number of notification ATs and the actual number of ATs, from a plurality of types of characters (for example, a character imitating a mouse or a character imitating a cat). Either one is determined, and the determined character is controlled to be displayed on the effect display device 13. For this reason, the number of times added to the number of notification ATs by the displayed character can be predicted.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 31a executes the movable effect in response to the operation of the effect button Bt in the second and subsequent round games (specific period) in the long open big hit game, and executes the movable effect. Accordingly, it is determined that the addition condition is satisfied. Then, when such an addition condition is satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a performs addition notification in which a predetermined number of times is added to the number of notification ATs. Further, when any of a plurality of types of addition conditions is satisfied during the long open big hit game, the addition notification is performed.

  From here, the control regarding a specific effect is demonstrated. First, in the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, when a variable state is given, a dedicated specific variation pattern table is referred to only for the four variation games. This specific variation pattern table is different from the normal variation pattern table in the variation state after the completion of the big hit game (the variation pattern table in the variation game after the fifth time) or the variation pattern table in the non-variation state. That is, any one of a plurality of types of variation pattern tables (variation content group) is selected, and the variation pattern is determined from the selected variation pattern table. And even if the same variable state is given, after the end of the big hit game (long open big hit game and short open big hit game), in the first to fourth variable games, the fifth and subsequent variable games and non-variable It is changed to a variation pattern table different from the state.

Here, the specific variation pattern table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, in the specific variation pattern table, a plurality of types of variation patterns are associated with types of winning and jackpots. The fluctuation pattern P00 is selected when the deviation fluctuation or short opening is reached.

  The fluctuation patterns P01A and P01B are selected when the deviation reach fluctuation occurs. In particular, when the variation pattern P01A is selected, the specific effect is not executed, and when the variation pattern P01B is selected, the specific effect may be executed. In this way, the variation pattern P01B is a specific variation pattern (specific variation content) that can be performed with a specific effect although it is out of place. In the present embodiment, the same variation time is defined for the variation patterns P01A and P01B.

  The variation patterns P02 to P07 are selected when a long open big hit is achieved. More specifically, the variation pattern P02 is selected when winning the AT20 jackpot, and the variation pattern P03 is selected when winning the AT20 jackpot or AT30 jackpot. The variation pattern P04 is selected when winning the AT30 jackpot or AT40 jackpot, and the variation pattern P05 is selected when the AT40 jackpot or AT60 jackpot is won. The variation pattern P06 is selected when winning 50 AT50 or AT80 winning, and the variation pattern P07 is selected when winning AT60, AT70, AT90 or AT100.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 23, the prefetch command setting process executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described. This prefetch command setting process is a process of setting a prefetch command as information specified by the result of referring to various random numbers. In addition, the prefetch command setting process is executed immediately after the special symbol input process is finished, triggered by the winning of a game ball to each start winning port 14, 15, 18 in a state where the number of reserved memories is not the upper limit. This pre-read command setting process corresponds to whether or not the various random numbers acquired in the special symbol input process with the winnings at the respective start winning openings 14, 15, and 18 match a predetermined determination value. This is a process of determining (in advance) the execution of the symbol variation game.

  First, as shown in FIG. 23, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the restriction condition is satisfied, for example, when the number of reserved memories is an upper limit value or when a big hit game is being played (step S101). . If the determination result is affirmative (the restriction condition is satisfied), the main control CPU 30a ends the prefetch command setting process without executing steps S102 and S103. If this determination result is negative (regulation conditions are not satisfied), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, the main control CPU 30a refers to various random numbers corresponding to the reserved storage number. Then, the main control CPU 30a sets a prefetch command in the main control RAM 30c based on the reference result (step S103), and ends the prefetch command setting process.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a reads a value from a hit determination random number and a main probability change flag stored in correspondence with the number of reserved memories, and a jackpot determination value corresponding to whether or not a probability change state is given. It is determined whether or not the random number for hit determination matches.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines that the jackpot determination value and the value of the random number for winning determination match, the main control CPU 30a reads the random number for special symbol distribution stored in correspondence with the reserved storage number, and based on the read value, Identify the type of jackpot.

The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern distribution random number matches a predetermined determination value corresponding to the type of jackpot and the gaming state, and specifies the type of variation pattern.
As described above, when it is determined that the value of the big hit determination value matches the value of the random number for winning determination, the type of the variation game to be executed (whether it is the first variation game or the second variation game) and the big hit are obtained. In other words, the prefetch command for designating the type of jackpot, the variation pattern, and the total number of pending storage is determined.

  On the other hand, if the main control CPU 30a determines that the jackpot determination value does not match the value of the hit determination random number, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the reach determination random number stored in correspondence with the reserved storage number, and determines the reach determination. It is determined whether or not the value matches the value of the reach determination random number, and whether or not a reach state is formed is specified. In the present embodiment, since the same reach determination value is defined regardless of the number of reserved memories, it is not a configuration in which it is not determined whether or not the reach state is formed until the execution of the variable game is started. .

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern distribution random number is out of reach reach variation and matches a predetermined determination value according to the gaming state, and specifies the type of variation pattern To do.

  As described above, when it is determined that the big hit determination value does not match the value of the random number for winning determination, the type of the fluctuation game to be executed, the fact that the big hit is not reached, whether the outlier reach fluctuation pattern is determined, the fluctuation pattern, A prefetch command that specifies the total number of pending storage is determined.

  In other words, when a game ball is won at each start winning opening 14, 15, 18 as an opportunity, before the start of the variable game based on the prize, various random numbers acquired with the winning as an opportunity are referred to in advance. The prefetch command that can identify the result is determined. And by such a pre-read command, the type of the variation game to be executed, whether or not it becomes a hit (big hit or small hit), whether or not the hit type, out of reach reach fluctuation, the fluctuation pattern, the current summation pending The number of memories can be specified.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the prefetch command setting process, the main control CPU 30a outputs the prefetch command set in the main control RAM 30c in step S103 to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. . In the present embodiment, when a prefetch command is output, a hold designation command is output before that.

  When the prefetch command is input, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. In particular, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies the number of reserved memories and the total number of reserved memories by the pre-read command, so the input order of pre-read commands for each variable game and the total input of the pre-read commands for each variable game The order can be specified.

  Next, the specific effect determination process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described with reference to FIG. The specific effect determining process is a process for controlling the specific effect with the end of the winning game as a trigger. The effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute this process in response to an input of an ending command. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that executes such processing functions as a specific effect execution condition determination unit.

  First, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the winning type based on the special symbol designation command, and determines whether or not the long open big hit game has ended based on the specified result. (Step S201). If this determination result is negative (the long open big hit game has not ended), the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to step S203. On the other hand, if this determination result is affirmative (the long open big hit game has ended), the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, the effect control CPU 31a, based on the pre-read command input and stored in the predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c, after the end of the long open big hit game, the long open big hit or specific It is determined whether there is a prefetch command indicating a variation pattern. In the present embodiment, the specific variation pattern corresponds to a variation pattern P01B that is a loss reach variation in which a specific effect can be executed. When this determination result is negative (there is no long-open big hit or a prefetch command indicating a specific variation pattern), the effect control CPU 31a ends the specific effect determination process. On the other hand, if this determination result is affirmative (there is a long-open big hit or a prefetch command indicating a specific variation pattern), the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to step S205.

  In step S203, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the winning type based on the special symbol designation command, and determines whether or not the short open big hit game has ended based on the specified result. When this determination result is negative (the short open big hit game has not ended), the effect control CPU 31a ends the specific effect determining process. On the other hand, if this determination result is affirmative (the short open big hit game has ended), the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to step S204.

  In step S204, based on the prefetch command stored in the predetermined area of the performance control RAM 31c, the effect control CPU 31a receives a prefetch command indicating a long open big hit in the variable game for four times after the end of the short open big hit game. It is determined whether or not there is. When this determination result is negative (there is no prefetch command indicating a long open jackpot), the effect control CPU 31a ends the specific effect determination process. On the other hand, when this determination result is affirmative (there is a prefetch command indicating a long open big hit), the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to step S205.

  In step S205, the effect control CPU 31a executes a specific effect lottery process for determining whether or not to execute the specific effect based on the input prefetch command. In particular, in the case of winning a long open big hit, execution of the specific effect is determined with a higher probability than in the case of a loss. In addition, when a long opening jackpot with a large number of ATs (a specified number of rounds) is won, execution of a specific effect is determined with a higher probability than when a long opening jackpot with a small number of ATs is won. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the specific effect execution condition for executing the specific effect is satisfied based on the prefetch command, and determines whether or not to execute the specific effect. Become. In the present embodiment, it is defined that the specific effect is not executed after the end of the small hit game.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the specific effect based on the specific effect lottery and the variable game to execute the specific effect, and indicates the determination result so that the determination result can be specified. Is set in the effect control RAM 31c so as to correspond to each variable game (step S206), and the specific effect determining process is ended.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, when there is a pre-read command indicating a long open big hit in the four-time variable game after the end of the long open big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a is the variable game that becomes the earliest long open big hit. To determine whether to execute a specific effect. For this reason, when there are a plurality of pre-read commands indicating long open big hits in the four-time variable games, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute a specific effect for the variable games that are long open big hits other than the first. Do not decide.

  Then, when it is determined that the specific effect is to be executed in the variation game that is the earliest long open big hit, the effect control CPU 31a identifies a prefetch command in the variation game that is executed before the variation game. When it is determined that there is a prefetch command in which the specified prefetch command indicates the specific variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the specific effect.

  In this embodiment, when the prefetch command in the continuous variation game is identified as the prefetch command indicating the specific variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a executes the specific effect in the variation game executed first. It is possible to determine, and it is not determined that the specific effect is executed in the variation game to be executed later. For this reason, in a continuous variation game, execution of a specific effect that results in outlier reach variation is restricted.

  Also, after the end of the long open big hit game, if there is no prefetch command indicating the long open big hit in the four-variable game, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not there is a prefetch command indicating a specific variation pattern in the prefetch commands. Determine whether. When there is a prefetch command indicating a specific variation pattern in the four variation games, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the specific effect in the variation game based on the last specific variation pattern.

  Then, when it is determined that the specific effect is to be executed in the variation game based on the last specific variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a identifies a prefetch command in the variation game that is executed before the variation game. When it is determined that there is a prefetch command in which the specified prefetch command indicates the specific variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the specific effect.

  In this embodiment, when the prefetch command in the continuous variation game is identified as the prefetch command indicating the specific variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the specific effect in the variation game to be executed later. It is possible to determine that the specific effect is to be executed in the variable game executed first. For this reason, in a continuous variation game, the execution of the specific effect that causes the outlier reach variation is restricted without shortening the variation game controlled to the special mode. That is, when the specific variation pattern is determined in the continuous variation game among the first to fourth variation games after the end of the big hit game, the production control CPU 31a regulates the execution of the specific production in any of the variation games. It will be. In this embodiment, when it is determined that the execution of the specific effect based on the variation pattern P01B is restricted, the effect control CPU 31a executes the effect in the same effect manner as the effect based on the variation pattern P01A.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when there is a prefetch command indicating a long open big hit in the four-variable game after the end of the short open big hit game, the presentation control CPU 31a changes the first long open big hit. In the game, it is determined whether or not to execute a specific effect. For this reason, when there are multiple look-ahead commands indicating long-open big hits in the four-time variable game, the effect control CPU 31a executes a specific effect for the variable game that becomes the long open big hit other than the first game. Do not decide whether or not.

  In addition, after the end of the short-open big hit game, when there is no pre-read command indicating the long open big hit in the four-variable game, the effect control CPU 31a determines not to execute the specific effect.

  Further, in a process different from the specific effect determining process, when the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the specific effect after the end of the long open big hit game, the variable game determined to execute the specific effect is ended. Then, control is performed to cause the effect display device 13 to display a specific background image different from the normal background image (normal background image) in the variable state. As a result, it is possible to specify from the background image that the specific effect is executed after the end of the long open big hit game.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the specific effect is to be executed after the end of the short opening big hit game, the specific background image after the end of the long open big hit game is displayed until the variation game in which the specific effect is executed. In contrast, the normal background image in the variable state is displayed on the effect display device 13. Then, the effect control CPU 31a causes the effect display device 13 to display the specific background image in the variable game in which the specific effect is executed. As a result, after the short-open big hit game is over, in the variable game until the specific effect is executed, it cannot be specified from the background image that the specific effect is executed, and the specific effect is executed. When the game is started, it is possible to specify that the specific effect is executed from the background image, and further, granting of the long open big hit game is confirmed.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a determines not to execute the specific effect after the end of the jackpot game, the effect display device 13 displays the normal background image in the variable state after the end of the jackpot game.

  In the present embodiment, the specific background image is an image that is displayed only in the special mode that suggests that the specific effect is executed. For this reason, after the end of the long-open big hit game, the specific effect is executed in the four-time variable game, and after the short-open big hit game is finished, the specific effect is executed in the four-time variable game. It can be displayed, otherwise it is not displayed.

  Next, the specific effect content determination process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described. This specific effect content determination process is a process for determining the effect content of the specific effect to be executed. The effect control CPU 31a executes this process in response to an input of a variation pattern designation command. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that executes such processing functions as effect content determination means.

  First, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the variable game for starting execution is a variable game for executing the specific effect. When it is determined that the effect control CPU 31a is a variation game for executing a specific effect, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the specific effect based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

  Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content for losing in the variation game in which the specific effect is executed based on the specific variation pattern. Then, the effect control CPU 31a stores information indicating the determination result in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c, and ends the specific effect content determination process. The effect content for losing is a failure effect in which the number of notification ATs is not added. As a failure effect in which the number of notification ATs is not added, one operation effective period is defined, and when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, or within the operation effective period, the frame effect button When the operation valid period ends without operating WBt, it is notified that the number of notification ATs is not added.

  On the other hand, in the variation game in which the specific effect is executed based on the variation pattern that becomes the long open big hit, the production control CPU 31a refers to the specific effect content determination table shown in FIG. Based on the type of pattern and the type of long open jackpot designated by the special symbol designation command, the production content of the specific effect is determined. In other words, the execution of the specific effect is determined in the effect mode based on the determined variation pattern and the type of winning jackpot. Then, the effect control CPU 31a stores information indicating the determination result in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c, and ends the specific effect content determination process.

Here, the specific effect content determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 25, the specific effect content determination table is a table for determining the effect content of the specific effect that is executed when the long open jackpot is reached. In the specific effect content determination table, the type of jackpot, the variation pattern, and the effect content of the specific effect are associated.

  The types of jackpots are classified according to the number of ATs. As the variation pattern, a variation pattern that is selected when a long-open big hit is achieved in four variation games after the end of the big hit game is defined.

  As for the contents of the specific effects, a plurality of effects periods are defined in time series so as to correspond to one variation pattern, and the contents of the effects of the specific effects are defined in the plurality of effects periods. That is, in one variation game, a plurality of effects are defined in chronological order for each predetermined effect period. In the present embodiment, the plurality of performance periods are defined as a certain time.

  As the production contents of these specific productions, a success production and a revival production are defined. A successful production is defined in one production period, and a revival production is defined over two production periods. An operation effective period is defined for each of the success and rebirth effects. Further, it is defined that a success effect and a resurrection effect are executed a plurality of times in one variation game. As described above, when a specific effect including a successful effect and a revival effect is being executed, an operation valid period is defined for each of the successful effects and the revival effect. For this reason, it can be said that the operation effective period of multiple times is prescribed | regulated in one specific production.

  When a successful effect is executed, if the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, the movable body K is displaced from the upper side to the lower side, and the number of notifications AT is increased by 10 times or more. Informed. On the other hand, if the frame effect button WBt is not operated within the operation effective period, it is notified that the movable body K is not displaced and that one is added to the number of notification ATs. That is, when a successful effect included in the specific effect is being executed and the operation of the frame effect button WBt is not detected during the operation effective period, the number of notification ATs is smaller than when the operation is detected. Addition notification to be added is performed.

  In addition, when the revival effect is executed, when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without operating the frame effect button WBt within the operation effective period Whether or not the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period is notified that the movable body K is not displaced and is added to the number of notifications AT. Then, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the movable body K is displaced from the upper side to the lower side, and it is notified that the number of notifications AT is added 10 times or more. In the present embodiment, the movable body K is not displaced from the beginning to the middle of the revival effect as in the case of the failure effect. In this way, when the specific effect is executed in the variable game that is a long open big hit, even if the frame effect button WBt is not operated, if the revival effect is executed, the notification AT number is set. An addition notification for adding a predetermined number of times is performed. In the present embodiment, execution of the revival effect corresponds to establishment of a special condition.

  As a specific example, when the AT30 big hit is won and the variation pattern P04 is determined, the second production pattern (No. 2 in the figure) and the third production pattern (FIG. No. 3) is selected in the effect content determination lottery. When the third effect pattern is determined, the successful effect that can add 10 times to the number of notification ATs in the first effect period is the number of notifications AT in the second and third effect periods. The revival effect that can be added 10 times is determined as the successful effect that can be added 10 times to the number of notification ATs in the fourth effect period.

  If it demonstrates with reference to FIG. 22, in the 1st production period, the various productions of a failure production, a resurrection production, and a success production can be performed. When execution of the failure effect is determined, the failure effect is executed until the end of the first effect period, and when the execution ends, the specific effect itself ends without executing various effects. In addition, the failure production is not executed in the second and subsequent production periods. When execution of the success effect is determined, the success effect is executed until the first effect period ends, and various effects in the second effect period are executed. When execution of the revival effect is decided, the revival effect is executed until the second effect period ends, and various effects in the third effect period are executed.

  In the second to fifth production periods, various productions such as a revival production and a success production can be executed. When execution of the successful effect is determined, the successful effect is executed until the effect period ends, and various effects in the next effect period are executed, or the specific effect itself ends without executing the various effects. When execution of the revival effect is determined, the revival effect is executed until the next effect period ends, and further various effects in the next effect period are executed, and the specific effect itself does not end. Further, the revival effect is not executed in the sixth and subsequent effect periods.

  In the sixth and seventh presentation periods, a successful presentation can be executed. When execution of the successful effect is determined, the successful effect is executed until the effect period ends, and various effects in the next effect period are executed, or the specific effect itself ends without executing the various effects.

  By referring to such a specific effect content determination table, the effect content of the specific effect in the case of winning the long open jackpot is determined. In particular, when the revival effect is executed, it is specified that the success effect or the revival effect is executed after that. For this reason, as the content of the specific effect, the revival effect is not executed in the last effect period, and when the revival effect is executed, it is determined that the success effect can be further executed. It is determined that the number of ATs can be further added.

  In addition, the failure effect in which the number of notification ATs is not added is executed only during the first effect period, so when the success effect is executed in the first effect period, or the first, second, When the rebirth production is executed during the production period, it is determined that the long open big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, after the end of the long open big hit game, a failure effect in which the number of notification ATs is not added can be executed, but after the end of the short open big hit game, a failure effect in which the number of notifications AT is not added is not executed, It is determined that a long open big hit game will be granted. In this way, when shifting to the special mode after the long open big hit game is granted, it may not become the long open big hit in the subsequent variable game, but after entering the short open big hit game, the mode is changed to the special mode. In such a case, it will be determined that a long open big hit will be made in the variable game. In this embodiment, even if a short-open big hit game is awarded, it is difficult to specify the short-open big hit game, and even in a variable game until a specific effect is executed, the special mode is entered. Not.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the specific effect content determination process, when the specific effect is executed, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the effect content of the specific effect, and the predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the variable game. When the time has elapsed, the operation valid period is started. In this embodiment, when a specific effect based on a specific variation pattern is executed, one operation effective period is controlled in one variation game, and a specific effect that is a long open big hit is executed. The operation valid period is controlled a plurality of times in one variation game. Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines (detects) whether or not the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period.

  When performing the successful effect, the effect control CPU 31a performs control to drive the movable body motor MOT to displace the movable body K downward when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period. Do. Then, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the effect display device 13 displays an image for informing that the number of additions to be added to the notification AT number is 10 or more. Further, the effect control CPU 31a stores information indicating the notified number of notification ATs in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c.

  On the other hand, when the frame effect button WBt is not operated within the operation effective period, the effect control CPU 31a adds one time to the notification AT number without displacing the movable body K. Control is performed so that an image for informing the user is displayed on the effect display device 13. Further, the effect control CPU 31a stores information indicating the notified number of notification ATs in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c.

  In this way, after the big hit game ends, it becomes a long open big hit in the 1st to 4th floating games, and a specific effect is executed before the start of the long open big hit game, thereby specifying based on the type of long open big hit Based on the number of ATs that have been made, a notification regarding the number of ATs (the number of times the upper limit of the special winning opening 21 has been opened) is made. In particular, when the specific effect is executed, if the movable body K is displaced downward in response to the operation of the frame effect button WBt during the operation effective period, the number of notifications is increased by 10 or more times. An addition notification for adding is performed. On the other hand, when the frame effect button WBt is not operated during the operation effective period, an addition notification is performed to add the number of times of one less than when the operation is performed and a specific result is derived. During the open jackpot game, an addition notification is performed in which a predetermined number of times is added to the number of notification ATs. In the present embodiment, a specific result is derived that the movable body K is displaced downward.

  In addition, when the production control CPU 31a executes the failure production, the frame production button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, or the frame production button WBt is not operated within the operation effective period. When the operation valid period ends, the movable body K is not displaced. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 13 to display an image notifying that the long open big hit game is not given without adding the notification AT count.

  When executing the revival effect, the effect control CPU 31a operates when the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period or when the frame effect button WBt is not operated within the operation effective period. When the period ends, the movable body K is not displaced. Then, in the first effect period, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the effect display device 13 displays an image notifying that the long open big hit game is not given without adding the number of notifications AT. . In addition, during the second and subsequent production periods, the production control CPU 31a controls the production display device 13 to display an image informing that the number of additions to be added to the number of notifications is one. Then, when the predetermined time elapses, the effect control CPU 31a performs control to drive the movable body motor MOT in order to displace the movable body K downward, and the number of additions to be added to the notification AT count is 10 times or more. Control is performed so that an image for informing the user is displayed on the effect display device 13.

  When the specific effect is executed in this way, when the number of additions to be added to the notification AT number is notified, the effect control CPU 31a stores the notified addition number in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. In particular, when a successful effect or a revival effect is executed as a specific effect, a plurality of operation effective periods are defined, and the effect control CPU 31a accumulates and stores the notified number of additions. .

  In the case where the successful effect is executed, if the frame effect button WBt is operated within the operation effective period, the actual number of ATs based on the long open big hit and the notified number of notifications AT match, If the frame effect button WBt is not operated within the effective period, a difference occurs between the actual number of ATs based on the long open jackpot and the notified number of notifications AT.

  Next, the control process at the time of specific long open big hit game executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described. This processing is executed when a specific effect is executed and a long open big hit game is awarded. In addition, here, the control process that is different from the control process for the normal long open big hit game is mainly described, and the description of the control that is the same as the control process for the normal long open big hit game is omitted. .

  When the specific effect is executed and the long opening jackpot is won, the performance control CPU 31a identifies the type of long opening jackpot with the start of the long opening jackpot game, and determines the number of ATs corresponding to the type of long opening jackpot. Identify.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a reads from the effect control RAM 31c the total number of notification ATs notified when the specific effect is executed, and assigns a value indicating the sum of the notification AT times to a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. It is added to the value stored in the opened scheduled counter. In this way, a value indicating the number of notification ATs notified with the execution of the specific effect is added to the value of the scheduled release counter set in the previous jackpot game. As a result, when the continuation condition of execution of the specific effect is established, the number of notifications AT notified in the long-open big hit game until the previous time and the number of notifications AT notified by the execution of the specific effect are accumulated and added and notified. The Rukoto.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a retains the value as it is without setting (initializing) “0” to the opening counter assigned to the predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. In this way, by adding the value indicating the number of notifications AT notified in conjunction with the execution of the specific effect to the value of the scheduled release counter set in the previous jackpot game, the continuation condition of executing the specific effect is obtained. When established, the number of times of opening of the big winning opening 21 notified in the long open big hit game until the previous time will be continuously notified.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a compares the number of ATs specified by the special symbol specification command (the type of long open big hit) with the number of notifications AT notified when the specific effect is executed. Then, based on the comparison result, the effect control CPU 31a, when they do not coincide with each other, causes the notification of adding the difference number to the notification AT number during the long open big hit game. As a specific example, the CPU 31a for effect control notifies the actual number of ATs when the notified number of notifications AT (opening number) matches the actual number of opening of the special winning opening 21. In such a manner, notification is performed by adding a predetermined number of times to the number of notification ATs.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) In the jackpot game, the opening / closing control for opening the jackpot 21 for a predetermined unit opening time that can be specified as the same by the player can be executed for the upper limit opening number based on the type of jackpot.

  (17) Since the specific effect is executed in the effect mode based on the type of jackpot, the type of jackpot can be predicted by executing the specific effect, attention to the specific effect can be given, and the interest in the game Can be improved.

  (18) When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative in a predetermined variation game after the end of the jackpot game and the specific effect is executed, the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are detected during the operation effective period. If a specific result is derived accordingly, an addition notification for adding a predetermined number of times is performed. On the other hand, when the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not detected, an addition notification for adding a predetermined number of times is performed during the current big hit game. For this reason, since various notification buttons Bt and WBt are operated, an additional notification regarding the upper limit opening number is given before the current big hit game, so an opportunity to actively participate in the game can be provided. Can be improved. On the other hand, even if the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not operated, the additional notification regarding the upper limit opening number is performed during the current big hit game, so that the additional notification is dispersed and the timing for executing the additional notification is set. It can be delayed and the interest in games can be improved.

  (19) When the operation of various effect buttons Bt, WBt is not detected in the operation effective period when the specific effect is being executed, the operation of the various effect buttons Bt, WBt is detected. Thus, an addition notification that adds a smaller number of times than when a specific result is derived is performed. For this reason, even if the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not operated, the addition notification regarding the upper limit opening number is performed before the current big hit game, so that it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  (20) When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative in a predetermined variation game after the end of the jackpot game and the specific effect is executed, the operation of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt is not detected. However, if the next operation valid period is defined, a special condition can be established, and when the special condition is established, an addition notification for adding a predetermined number of times is performed. For this reason, even when the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not detected, an addition notification for adding a predetermined number of times may be performed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decline of interest in games.

  (21) If the specific effect execution condition is satisfied when the specific variation pattern is determined when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative in the predetermined variation game after the end of the jackpot game, the specific effect is executed. No additional notification is performed. When the specific effect is executed by determining the specific change pattern in the previous change game, the execution of the specific effect by determining the specific change pattern is restricted in the current change game. For this reason, the variation game in which the specific effect is executed but the addition notification is not performed does not continue, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest of the game.

  (22) After the jackpot game is over, it is determined whether or not a specific performance execution condition is satisfied based on the information specified by the value of the jackpot determination random number stored in association with the start holding ball. For this reason, before the start of the variable game, whether or not to execute the specific effect is determined by the information specified by the value of the random number for jackpot determination, and the interest for the game can be improved. it can.

  (23) In addition, even if a player who was not able to confirm at the time of winning that the short-opening big hit was won by executing a specific performance after the short-opening big hit game ended, Prediction is possible, and attention can be given to the execution of the specific performance, which can improve the interest of the game. In particular, since the probability change state is given after the end of the short-open big hit game, it is easy to become a long open big hit, so the execution frequency of the specific production can be reduced without reducing the expectation of the long open big hit due to the execution of the specific production. It is possible to increase the level of attention, and further attention can be given to the execution of the specific performance, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In addition, when it is possible to specify that a short-open big hit game has been awarded, if a specific effect is executed after the short-open big hit game ends, it becomes even easier to become a long open big hit. For this reason, the expectation for the long open big hit can be further enhanced, and the interest for the game can be improved.

  (24) Since the specific effect is executed in the effect mode based on the type of jackpot, the type of jackpot can be predicted by executing the specific effect, and attention can be given to the specific effect. Can be improved.

  (25) After the big hit game based on the short open big hit, the fluctuation pattern table (variation content group) is changed. For this reason, after the big hit game based on the short open big hit, after the end of the big hit game, it is possible to provide an opportunity to predict the winning of the short open big hit from the fluctuation pattern of the variable game, can be given attention to the fluctuation pattern of the variable game, It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  (26) When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative in a predetermined variation game after the end of the short open big hit game and the specific effect is executed, the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are detected during the operation effective period. In response to this, an addition notification for adding a predetermined number of times is performed. For this reason, since the production buttons Bt and WBt are operated, an additional notification regarding the upper limit opening number is given before the current big hit game, so that an opportunity to actively participate in the game can be provided. Can be improved.

  (27) When the determination result of the big hit determination is negative in a predetermined variation game after the end of the short open big hit game, the specific effect is not executed before the current big hit game and the addition notification is not performed. For this reason, when the specific effect is executed, it is determined that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative, so that the expectation for the execution of the specific effect can be enhanced, and attention to winning the short open jackpot It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (28) Execution of specific effect when the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative in a predetermined variable game after the end of the short open big hit game based on the fact that the short open big hit game is won when the variable shortage state is given When the condition is satisfied, the specific effect is executed. For this reason, it is possible to execute a specific effect when the provision of the variable state is continued before and after the short-open big hit game, and it is possible to improve the production effect during the provision of the variable state, Improvements can be made.

  (29) In the operation effective period (first operation effective period) in the variable game, when the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt is detected, the specific operation condition is satisfied when the operation time is the specific operation time. When it is a special operation timing, the first determination that determines that the special operation condition is satisfied is controlled to be executable. On the other hand, in another operation effective period (second operation effective period), when the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt is detected, whether the operation timing is a specific operation timing or a special operation timing Regardless of whether the special operation condition is satisfied, the second determination is determined to be executable. For this reason, in each operation effective period in the variable game, there are cases where the operation conditions established are different depending on whether the operation time is a specific operation time or a special operation time, and the determination according to the operation may be the same. Diversity can be provided and the interest in games can be improved.

  (30) When it is determined that the special operation condition is satisfied in the operation effective period when the branchable condition is satisfied, the development contents of the development destination are controlled to be changeable after the operation effective period ends, and the branchable condition is The second determination is easier to perform when the branchable condition is satisfied than when the condition is not satisfied. For this reason, when the branchable condition that allows the development contents of the development destination to be changed is satisfied, the second determination is performed, and the special operation condition is set regardless of whether the operation time is a specific operation time or a special operation time. To establish. Therefore, it is possible to provide a situation in which the special operation condition is easily established, to determine whether or not the branchable condition is established, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (31) The specific determination areas HR11 and HR12, the special determination area HR2, and the reference image KG that can be displaced in the specific determination areas HR11 and HR12 and the special determination area HR2 are displayed. And the operation of various production buttons Bt and WBt is detected during the operation valid period, and the determination area corresponding to the operation timing of the various production buttons Bt and WBt out of the specific determination areas HR11 and HR12 and the special determination area HR2. Control of the operation display effect for displaying the reference image KG on the HR is performed. When operations of various effect buttons Bt and WBt are detected during the operation valid period, it is determined that the specific operation condition is satisfied when the reference image KG is displayed in the specific determination regions HR11 and HR12. When the reference image KG is displayed in the special determination area HR2, it is determined that the special operation condition is satisfied, and the first determination in the special effect of the normal operation is performed, and the second determination in the special effect of the one-shot operation. Control of the operation display effect is performed in the same display manner as in the case where the operation is performed. For this reason, an operation display effect including the specific determination regions HR11 and HR12, the special determination region HR2, and the reference image KG is performed in the same display manner when the first determination is performed and when the second determination is performed. From this, it is possible to specify similarly in which determination area the reference image KG is displayed. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation regarding whether the reference image KG is displayed in the specific determination area HR11, HR12 or the special determination area HR2, and which of the determinations is performed. Improvements can be made.

  (32) In addition, since the operation determination mode image SG notifies whether the first determination is performed or the second determination is performed, which determination is performed can be specified to the player, and the game can be specified. The interest can be improved.

  (33) In the operation effective period in the variable game, it is not determined that the special operation condition is satisfied after the special operation time is ended as the operation time of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt. For this reason, when various effect buttons Bt and WBt are operated in order to satisfy the special operation condition, it is possible to further give attention to the timing of the operation, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (34) In the operation effective period, after the reference image KG is displayed so as to be out of the special determination area HR2, the reference image KG is not displayed again in the special determination area HR2. Therefore, when attention is paid to whether the reference image KG is the specific determination region HR11, HR12 or the special determination region HR2, and various effect buttons Bt, WBt are operated to satisfy the special operation condition. Therefore, attention can be given to the reference image KG, and an interest in the game can be improved.

  (35) In particular, in the operation effective period, after the reference image KG is displayed so as to deviate from the special determination region HR2 having a large privilege amount, the reference image KG is not displayed again in the special determination region HR2. For this reason, the reference image KG is displayed in the special determination area HR2 having a large privilege amount, and when the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are operated in order to satisfy the special operation condition, attention is further given to the reference image KG. Can improve the interest of the game.

  (36) When the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are not detected during the operation effective period, it is determined that neither the specific operation condition nor the special operation condition is satisfied. For this reason, in order to establish one of the operation conditions, it is possible to prompt the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (37) The first specific determination region HR11 and the second specific determination region HR12 are displayed so as to sandwich the special determination region HR2, and the reference image KG is displayed from the first specific determination region HR11 to the special determination region HR2 in the operation effective period. Thereafter, the control is performed to display the reference image KG from the special determination region HR2 to the second specific determination region HR12. For this reason, even when various effect buttons Bt and WBt are operated to display the reference image KG in the special determination region HR2, the reference image KG is in the second specific determination region HR12 even when the operation timing is delayed. May be determined that the specific operation condition is satisfied even if the special operation condition is not satisfied, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (38) Display can be performed so that the displacement speed of the reference image KG varies within the operation effective period. For this reason, it becomes difficult to adjust the player's operation timing in which determination area to display the reference image KG, and further attention can be given to the reference image KG, so that the interest of the game can be improved. .

  (39) When operations of various effect buttons Bt and WBt are detected in a plurality of operation effective periods in the variable game, it is possible to determine whether or not the operation conditions are established in different determination modes in the plurality of operation effective periods. Be controlled. Then, in the normal operation effective period included in the plurality of operation effective periods, when the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt is detected, the specific operation condition is established when the operation time is the specific operation time. In the case of the special operation timing, the normal determination that determines that the special operation condition is satisfied is controlled to be executable. For this reason, in each operation effective period in the variable game, the determination mode can be made different, and the case where the operation condition established is different depending on whether the operation timing is a specific operation timing or a special operation timing is included. The determination according to the operation can be varied, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (40) In addition to the normal operation effective period, a plurality of operation effective periods in which normal determination is performed can be defined as the special operation effective period. In the special operation effective period, a predetermined operation effective period among the plurality of operation effective periods When the operation timings of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt are special operation timings, control is performed so that it can be determined that the special operation condition is satisfied. For this reason, in order to establish a special operation condition, it is necessary to operate with a special operation time in a predetermined operation effective period among a plurality of operation effective periods, and it is possible to have diversity in determination according to the operation, Further attention can be given to the timing of operation, and the interest in games can be improved.

  (41) In the operation effective period in the variable game, it is controlled so that it can be determined that the operation condition is satisfied when the operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt is detected. For this reason, in each operation effective period in a variable game, the determination according to operation can be given diversity, and the interest to the game can be improved.

  (42) In the operation valid period in the variable game, when the operation of the frame effect button WBt provided separately from the effect button Bt is detected, it is determined whether or not the operation condition is satisfied. For this reason, in each operation effective period in a variable game, the determination according to operation can be given diversity, and the interest to the game can be improved.

  (43) In the operation effective period, when operation of various effect buttons Bt and WBt is detected, a specific operation condition is satisfied when the operation time of various effect buttons Bt and WBt is a specific operation time. When the operation timing of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt is a special operation timing, the control is performed so that it can be determined that the special operation condition is satisfied. Then, based on the determination result of the operation condition, the development content of the development destination is determined. For this reason, based on the determination result of the operation condition, it is possible to provide an opportunity to actively participate in the game, and the contents of the development destination determined by whether the specific operation condition or the special operation condition is satisfied The expectation for the game can be raised and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (44) The development content of the development destination includes a plurality of types of production content in which the operation valid period is defined, and the determination mode in the operation valid period for the plurality of types of production content is different. For this reason, based on the determination result of whether or not the operation condition is satisfied in the current operation effective period, the determination mode in the next operation effective period can be varied, and the interest in the game can be improved. .

  (45) When the operations of the various effect buttons WBt and Bt are detected during the operation effective period and it is determined that the special operation condition is satisfied, the development is performed with higher probability than when it is determined that the specific operation condition is satisfied. The content of the production that is highly advantageous to the player is determined as the content of the previous production. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the expectation for establishing the special operation condition rather than to establish the specific operation condition, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (46) It is not determined that the special operation condition is satisfied after the special operation time is ended as the operation time of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt. For this reason, when various effect buttons Bt and WBt are operated in order to satisfy the special operation condition, it is possible to further give attention to the timing of the operation, and to improve the interest in the game.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the determination mode is notified according to the type of the operation determination mode image SG, and the displacement of the determination region HR and the reference image KG is controlled in the same mode even when the determination mode is different. . For example, the displacement of the determination region HR and the reference image KG may be controlled in a different manner depending on the determination mode, and the operation determination mode image SG may not be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, it is defined that the special effect of the one-shot operation can be executed when the branchable condition is satisfied, and the special effect of the one-shot operation is not executed when the branchable condition is not satisfied. However, it is not limited to this. For example, a special effect of a one-shot operation may be executed when the branchable condition is not satisfied. In this case, when the branchable condition is satisfied, it is preferable that the special effect of the one-shot operation can be executed with a higher probability than when the condition is not satisfied, and there is no problem even if the probability is the same or lower.

  In the above embodiment, whether or not the operation condition is satisfied is determined by detecting the operation of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt once in the one operation valid period, but is not limited thereto. . For example, it is possible to determine whether or not the operation condition is satisfied by detecting the operations of the various effect buttons Bt and WBt a plurality of times (so-called “continuous hitting”) in one operation effective period. A combination of these may be used.

  In the above embodiment, it is determined that a special effect is executed when a long open big hit is won, and a long open big hit game is awarded when the special effect is executed, but this is not restrictive. For example, a special effect may be executed when winning per short opening or when it is out of play, and it may not be determined that a long opening big hit game will be granted by executing the special effect. . Moreover, although the special effect was performed in the variable state, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the special effect may be performed in the non-variable state.
