JP 2014-168556 A

  However, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 has room for improvement of interest.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the fun of gaming.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to one aspect of the present invention performs variable display, and as a display result of variable display, a specific display result (for example, a special symbol predetermined as a jackpot symbol, a jackpot combination) Is a game machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player when a different fixed decoration symbol is derived and displayed, and a variable display that has not yet started is reserved for storage. And a hold display corresponding to the hold memory stored in the hold storage means (for example, displayed in the hold display area 5H in FIG. 1) At least before the variable display corresponding to the hold storage is started (ie, before the target hold display is digested). Any of a plurality of display modes including one display mode (for example, “□” shown in FIG. 3B) or the second display mode (for example, “◎” shown in FIG. 3B). On-hold display means (for example, the on-hold display area 5H in FIG. 1) and a specific effect (for example, background notice displayed on the display area of the image display device 5, light emission by the lamp 9, etc.) ) For executing a specific effect (for example, the CPU 120 for effect control), and the variable display corresponding to the hold display of the first display mode after the hold display of the first display mode is displayed. When the specific effect is not executed until it is performed, the ratio that the specific display result is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold display of the first display form (for example, the display form of the hold display is “□ And determined When it is determined not to execute the notice (in the case of symbol f in FIG. 4B), the second display mode is displayed after the hold display of the second display mode is displayed. The ratio of the specific display result derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold display of the second display mode when the specific effect is not executed before the variable display corresponding to the hold display of When the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “◎” and it is determined not to execute the background notice (in the case of the symbol b in FIG. 4B), the expected degree of jackpot and the display mode of the hold display are It is lower than the case where it is decided from “□” → “◎” and it is decided not to execute the background notice (in the case of the symbol d in FIG. 4B), etc. The hold display of the display mode is displayed. When the specific effect is executed before the variable display corresponding to the hold display in the first display mode is performed, the display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold display in the first display mode is specified. Ratio of display results derived and displayed (for example, when the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “□” and it is determined to execute the background notice (in the case of symbol e in FIG. 4B)) The expectation degree or the like) is determined when the specific effect is executed after the hold display of the second display mode is displayed until the variable display corresponding to the hold display of the second display mode is performed. The ratio at which the specific display result is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display corresponding to the hold display of 2 display modes (for example, the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “◎” and the background notice is determined to be executed) Was The case of the jackpot expectation degree in the case (in the case of symbol a in FIG. 4B) and the display mode of the hold display are determined from “□” to “◎” and the execution of the background notice is determined (FIG. 4). 4 (B) in the case of code c), which is higher than the big hit expectation degree).

  According to the said structure, the interest of a game can be improved.

  (2) The gaming machine of the above (1) is based on the on-hold storage stored in the on-hold storage unit, and a pre-start determination unit (for example, CPU 103 determines whether or not to derive and display a specific display result). And the like, further comprising a process for determining whether the variable display result is a big hit using a random number MR1 for figure display result judgment (determination) and a special figure display result judgment (determination) table. May execute the specific effect based on the determination result of the pre-start determination means (for example, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the effect control CPU 120 may Whether or not to run a specific notice based on whether or not

  According to the said structure, the interest of a game can be improved.

  (3) The gaming machine of the above (1) or (2), together with a change effect (for example, an effect of changing “□” to “◎”) that changes the display mode of the displayed hold display, Reservation effect means (for example, changing the display mode of the hold display) capable of executing a change suggestion effect (for example, an effect of causing a character to change “□” to “◎”) suggesting that a change effect is executed. The change suggestion effect may be executed in different proportions depending on whether or not the specific effect is executed. For example, by referring to a change suggestion effect execution presence / absence determination table that is different depending on whether the specific notice is executed or not, the change suggestion effect execution ratio may be varied depending on whether the specific notice is executed. Good.

  According to the said structure, the interest of a game can be improved.

  (4) The gaming machine of any one of (1) to (3) above may be notified to a notification means (for example, FIG. 5 (B) or FIG. 5 (D)) to notify that the specific effect has been executed. You may make it further provide the notification image I etc. which were shown.

  According to the above configuration, it is easy to recognize that the specific effect has been executed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (5) In the gaming machine of (2) above, the variable display is performed prior to the hold display corresponding to the hold storage that is the object of the determination by the pre-start determination means (that is, the target hold display). As the display (that is, the hold display that is digested before the target hold display), the hold display in the second display mode (for example, “◎” shown in FIG. 3B) is displayed. In the case where the hold display of the second display mode is not displayed, the hold display corresponding to the hold storage subjected to the determination by the pre-start determination unit is compared with the case where the hold display of the second display mode is not displayed. (For example, “□” shown in FIG. 3B, etc.) may be displayed at a lower rate (for example, in S2 of FIG. 4A, before the target hold display). The display mode is “◎” in the pending display to be digested. Hold when the display is present it is, has to be determined to never display mode of hold display as a target is determined to be "□" The symbol "" (S5)).

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

  (6) In the gaming machine of the above (2), the first display mode as the hold display in which the variable display is performed before the hold display corresponding to the hold storage that is the target of the determination by the pre-start determination unit When the hold display of the first display mode is not displayed, the hold display corresponding to the hold storage that is the target of the determination by the determination unit before starting is compared with the case where the hold display of the first display mode is not displayed. The ratio displayed by the second display mode may be lowered (for example, in S2 in FIG. 4A, in the hold display digested before the target hold display). When there is a hold display whose display mode is “□”, the display mode of the target hold display is not determined as “◎” but is determined as “◯” (S5)).

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

  (7) In any of the above gaming machines (1) to (6), the first display mode hold display (for example, “□” shown in FIG. 3B) is the first display. The hold display of the third display mode (for example, shown in FIG. 3B) different from the hold display of the mode or the hold display of the second display mode (for example, “「 ”shown in FIG. 3B, etc.) It may be more easily changed to the second display mode as compared to “◯” or the like. In addition, a display mode (for example, “□” in which the player can easily recognize that the hold display in the first display mode is easily changed to the second display mode as compared with the hold display in the third display mode. "May be a display mode that blinks or changes in shade, brightness, etc.).

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

It is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine in this embodiment. It is a block diagram which shows various control boards. It is explanatory drawing explaining various determinations. It is the flowchart etc. which show an example of the winning time production determination processing. It is a figure which shows the example of a display in an image display apparatus.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine. A gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board 2 that constitutes a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame 3 that supports and fixes the gaming board 2. On the game board 2, a substantially circular game area is formed. In a game area (hereinafter simply referred to as a game area) of the game board 2, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven. Hereinafter, main members in or around the game area will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 1 includes an ordinary winning ball device 6A, an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7, a first special symbol display device 4A, a second special symbol display device 4B, a first On-hold indicator 25A, second on-hold indicator 25B, normal symbol indicator 20, passing gate 41, universal figure on-hold indicator 25C, image display device 5, speaker 8 (speakers 8L and 8R), lamp 9, stick controller 31A, A push button 31B is provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area that is always kept in a constant open state. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B includes an electric tulip type accessory that changes between a normal open state and an enlarged open state by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. 2, and a second start prize as a start area. Forming a mouth. It should be noted that the electric tulip-type accessory is controlled to be in an expanded and open state when the variable display result (final result) in the normal game (described later) becomes “per normal map”. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 that is used for the large winning opening door shown in FIG. 2, and is a specific region that is changed between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form a big prize opening. The big prize opening is controlled to be in an open state when the variable display result (final result) in the first special game (described later) or the second special game (described later) becomes “big hit”.

  The first special symbol display device 4A performs variable display of special symbols. More specifically, after the first special symbol display device 4A wins the normal winning ball device 6A (after the first starting condition is established because the game ball has passed the first starting winning opening), the first special symbol display device 4A A special symbol is variably displayed based on the establishment of a start condition (a first start condition described later). The second special symbol display device 4B performs variable display of special symbols. More specifically, the second special symbol display device 4B has a predetermined value after winning the normal variable winning ball device 6B (after the second starting condition is established because the game ball has passed the second starting winning port). The special symbol is variably displayed on the basis that the start condition (second start condition described later) is satisfied.

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a first special symbol, and the variable display of the first special symbol is also referred to as a “first special symbol game”. The special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a second special symbol, and the variable display of the second special symbol is also referred to as a “second special symbol game”. Also, both the first special figure game and the second special figure game are collectively referred to as “special figure game”, and both the first start condition and the second start condition are collectively referred to as “special figure start condition”. Both the condition and the second start condition may be collectively referred to as “special drawing start condition”, and both the first start condition and the second start condition may be collectively referred to as “special drawing start condition”.

  After the variable display result in the special game is “big hit” (for example, after a special symbol predetermined as a big win symbol is derived and displayed as a variable display result (stop display)), the big win gaming state (game) An example of an advantageous state advantageous to a person). The big hit game state is a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls in the special winning ball apparatus 7 This is a gaming state in which the big prize opening is controlled to be in an open state until the time of occurrence.

  Despite having won the normal winning ball device 6A (even though the first start condition is satisfied), the start condition for starting the first special figure game (also referred to as the first start condition) is still present. When is not established, the variable display is stored as reserved storage. Specifically, the information for executing the variable display (first special figure game) based on the winning is suspended in such a manner that the winning order can be recognized up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (first special game). It is stored as figure hold memory (details will be described later). Despite having won the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B (despite the second start condition being satisfied), the start condition for starting the second special figure game (also referred to as the second start condition) is still present. ) Is not established, the variable display is stored as reserved storage. Specifically, information for executing variable display (second special figure game) based on the winning is held in such a manner that the winning order can be recognized up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (second special game). It is stored as figure hold memory (details will be described later). In addition, the winning order in the entire combination of the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory (a special figure hold memory to be described later) is also known. For example, in addition to the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory, information that indicates the winning order in the whole of the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory may be stored. . Even when the first start condition is satisfied immediately when the first start condition is satisfied, the first special figure hold memory may be stored although it is instantaneous (although it is immediately digested after storage). . In addition, even when the second start condition is satisfied immediately when the second start condition is satisfied, the second special figure holding memory may be stored, although it is instantaneous. Note that both the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory may be collectively referred to as “special figure hold memory”.

  The special figure start condition is, for example, when the special figure game hold number (also referred to as the special figure hold memory number) is not 0, the special figure game is not executed, and is controlled to the big hit game state. It is established when the state is not set. When the special figure start condition is satisfied (every time the special figure game is started), the special figure holding memory is consumed (the special figure holding memory is reduced), and the special figure game is started. In other words, the special figure hold memory decreases every time the special figure game is started. More specifically, the number of holds of the first special figure game (the number of first special figure hold memory) decreases every time the first special figure game is started (every time the first start condition is satisfied), The number of holds of the 2 special figure game (the number of second special figure hold memory) decreases every time the second special figure game is started (every time the second start condition is satisfied).

  In the present embodiment, the special figure hold memory is digested in the order of winning regardless of whether it is the first special figure hold memory or the second special figure hold memory. Therefore, for example, when the first special figure hold memory, the first special figure hold memory, the second special figure hold memory, and the first special figure hold memory are stored in this order, the first start condition, the first start condition The second start condition and the first start condition are satisfied in this order. That is, as described above, the special figure start condition is a state where the special figure holding memory number is not 0, the special figure game is not executed, and the special hit game state is not controlled. More specifically, the first special figure holding memory number is 1 or more and the second special figure holding memory is 1 or more. The special figure hold memory stored in the first special figure hold memory is the same as when the first special figure hold memory number is 1 or more and the second special figure hold memory number is 0. 1 When the start condition is satisfied and the special figure hold memory stored first is the second special figure hold memory (the first special figure hold memory number is 0 and the second special figure hold memory number is 1 or more The same applies to the case where the second start condition is satisfied.

  The first hold indicator 25A displays the hold number of the first special figure game (first special figure hold memory number) so as to be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the number of holds of the second special figure game (second special figure hold number) so as to be specified. The normal symbol display 20 performs variable display of normal symbols. More specifically, the normal symbol display 20 displays a predetermined start condition (described later) after the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 (after the normal figure start condition due to the game ball passing through the passage gate 41 is established). The normal symbols are variably displayed based on the fact that the general game start condition is established. Note that the variable display of normal symbols is also referred to as a “general game”.

  Even if the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 (even though the normal chart start condition is satisfied), the start condition of the normal chart game (also referred to as the general chart start condition) is not yet satisfied. The variable display based on passage (ordinary game) is suspended up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (stored as ordinary map storage).

  The start condition of the ordinary game (ordinary figure start condition) is, for example, a case where the number of ordinary reserved memories is not 0, the variable symbol display (ordinary game) is not executed, and the big hit The condition may be satisfied when the game state is not controlled. It should be noted that, even if the general chart start condition is satisfied immediately when the general chart start condition is satisfied, the general map hold memory may be stored, although it is instantaneous.

  The general figure hold display unit 25C displays the number of hold of the general figure game (the number of general figure hold storage) in an identifiable manner. It should be noted that the number of holdings of the ordinary game (also referred to as the number of ordinary holdings) decreases each time the ordinary game is started (every time the ordinary drawing start condition is satisfied).

  The image display device 5 performs variable display of decorative symbols (also referred to as effect symbols) and various effect displays. The image display device 5 may have a display area composed of an LCD or the like, for example. In the display area of the image display device 5, for example, symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R and a holding display area 5H are arranged. In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in correspondence with the special symbol game. Thereafter, in response to the fixed special symbol being derived and displayed as the variable display result in the special symbol game, the fixed decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is derived and displayed. Is done. The decorative symbols that are variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are also referred to as the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol, respectively. The variable display of the identification information may be collectively referred to as a variable display game. However, the variable display game includes variable display of decorative symbols together with the above-described special game and general game.

  When the variable display result in the special game is “big hit”, a definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Further, when the variable display result in the special game is not “big hit”, a definite decorative symbol different from a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In other words, after the confirmed decorative symbols derived and displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R become a predetermined jackpot combination, the player is controlled to the big hit gaming state. Pay attention to the display area of the image display device 5. An example of a predetermined jackpot combination is a combination (for example, (“3” “3” “3”) or (“7” “7” “7”) in which the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are the same symbol. ]) Etc.).

  In addition, for example, a reach effect performed in a state (reach state) in which a predetermined jackpot combination partially matches is performed until the definitive decorative symbol is derived and displayed. The state in which the jackpot combination partially matches is, for example, a state in which the same left symbol and right symbol are derived and displayed, and a middle symbol is still variably displayed.

  The expectation degree (reliability) of a certain effect A is, for example, (probability that the effect A is executed when the jackpot is hit) × (probability that the effect is executed) / {(the effect A is executed when the jackpot is reached) (Probability) × (probability of winning jackpot) + (probability of effect A being executed when jackpot is not hit) × (probability of not hitting jackpot)} (when the jackpot expectation is “1”) It ’s a “big hit”). In addition, the expectation degree (reliability) of jackpot when a certain effect A and a certain effect B are executed together is, for example, (probability that both the effect A and the effect B are executed when a big hit is achieved) × (the jackpot Probability) / {(Probability that the production A and the production B are executed together when the jackpot is won) × (Probability that the production A and the production B are executed together) + (Probability that the production A and the production B are executed together when the jackpot is not won) ) × (probability of not winning big hit)} (when the expected degree of big hit is “1”, it is always “big hit”).

  In the hold display area 5H, the number of hold of variable display of decorative symbols corresponding to the special figure game is displayed in an identifiable manner. For example, in the hold display area 5H, the number of hold displays corresponding to the number of hold of the variable display of decorative symbols is displayed in such a manner that the winning order (digestion order) is known. Specifically, the decorative symbol hold display corresponding to the first special figure game and the decorative symbol hold indication corresponding to the second special figure game are arranged in the winning order and displayed in the hold display area 5H.

  Although the special figure holding memory is digested in the winning order and the special figure game is started, in the holding display area 5H, every time variable display of decorative symbols corresponding to the special figure game is started. In addition, the hold display corresponding to the variable display to be started is deleted. Further, when there is another hold display in the hold display area 5H in addition to the hold display to be deleted (hold display corresponding to the variable display to be started), the display position of the other hold display is deleted. Move (shift) to the side.

  Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 can execute various effects other than the reach effect as effects using the image display device 5. For example, an effect based on the display mode of the hold display, an effect based on the background, an effect based on characters and characters, and the like can be executed. In addition, the gaming machine 1 can execute, for example, an effect based only on the sound output operation by the speaker 8 or an effect based only on the light emission operation by the lamp 9 as effects that do not use the image display device 5. By executing these effects, the player determines the presence / absence and type of reach effects (normal reach effects, super reach reach effects with higher hit expectations than normal reach effects, etc.), jackpot expectations, etc. You may make it notify or suggest.

  The determination or determination regarding the effect (determination or determination regarding whether or not the effect is performed, the type of effect to be performed, the content of the effect, etc.) may be performed at the time of starting winning a prize or when variable display is started. For example, it is possible to determine how to change the display mode of the hold display corresponding to a certain start prize, and whether to execute the background notice before the variable display corresponding to a certain start prize is performed. You may go at the time of winning. In addition, for example, the determination of whether or not to perform variable display corresponding to a certain start-up winning (determination of whether or not to perform reach production, determination of type) may be performed at the start of the variable display.

  FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing various control boards and the like. In the gaming machine 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a main board 11, an effect control board 12, an audio control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15 and the like are mounted. In the gaming machine 1, for example, a payout control board, an information terminal board, a launch control board, an interface board, a touch sensor board, and the like may be mounted.

  The main board 11 is a main control board. The main board 11 controls the first hold indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, the general-purpose hold indicator 25C, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol display device 20. A function, a function of outputting an effect control command to the effect control board 12 via the relay board 15, a function of outputting various kinds of information to the hall management computer, and the like.

  The effect control command output to the effect control board 12 side is, for example, a first start opening prize designation command (second start opening prize designation command) for notifying the first start prize opening (second start prize opening). The first reserved memory number notification command (second reserved memory number notification command) for notifying the first special figure reserved memory number (second special figure reserved memory number), and the variable display result is a big hit as the determination result at the time of winning. Design designation command indicating whether or not or judgment result of jackpot type, variation pattern designation command to designate a variation pattern such as a special symbol or decorative symbol, variable display to designate a variable display result such as a special symbol or decorative symbol A result notification command, a gaming state designation command for designating a current gaming state of the gaming machine 1 (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state, a high base state, etc.).

  On the main board 11, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, a solenoid circuit 111, and the like are mounted. The switch circuit 110 outputs detection signals from the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22 </ b> A, the second start port switch 22 </ b> B, and the count switch 23 to the game control microcomputer 100. The solenoid circuit 111 outputs a solenoid drive signal from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory and the solenoid 82 for the big prize door.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the game control microcomputer 100 includes a ROM 101, a RAM 102, a CPU 103, a random number circuit 104, and an I / O 105. For example, the CPU 103 counts various random numbers (numerical data indicating random numbers) in an updatable manner. For example, the CPU 103 causes the random number circuit 104 or the like to use a random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination (determination), a random value MR2 for jackpot type determination (determination), a random value MR3 for determining a variation pattern, and a normal map display result. The random number value MR4 for determination is counted updatable. The random value MR1 is a random value used for determining (determining) whether or not to make a “big hit” for a variable display result of a special symbol or the like in a special figure game (whether to control to the big hit gaming state). The random value MR2 is a random value used to determine (determine) the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types when the variable display result is “big jackpot”. The random value MR3 is a random value used for determining one of a plurality of types of decorative pattern variation patterns prepared in advance. The random value MR4 is set to determine whether or not the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol in the normal game is “per normal” (whether or not the normal variable winning ball device 6B (electric tulip-type accessory) is controlled to be in the expanded open state. ) Is a random value used to determine (determine). Further, the CPU 103 performs various determinations (determinations) by executing a program read from the ROM 101, for example.

  The ROM 101 stores a program executed by the CPU 103. The ROM 101 also stores data constituting various tables used for the CPU 103 to perform various determinations (determinations). The RAM 102 is information relating to variable display that has not yet been started (that is, information for executing variable display of the reserved special symbol (special figure storage). For example, a numerical value indicating a random value such as the random value MR1 by the CPU 103) The determination result (decision) using data or the like, or numerical data indicating a random value such as the random number MR1 is associated with the hold number indicating the winning order (for example, the winning order). Remember). The RAM 102 also stores information (for example, various flags) indicating the current gaming state (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state, a high base state, etc.). The RAM 102 may be a backup RAM that is backed up by a backup power source.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board. The effect control board 12 has a function of inputting an effect control command, a function of determining (determining) an effect in the image display device 5 and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the effect control board 12 includes an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125. The effect control CPU 120 counts various random number values for effect determination (decision) so as to be updatable by the random number circuit 124 or the like. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 performs various determinations (determinations) by executing the program read from the ROM 121.

  The ROM 121 stores a program executed by the effect control CPU 120. The ROM 121 stores data constituting various tables used for the production control CPU 120 to make various determinations (determinations). The RAM 122 stores information relating to variable display that has not yet been started (that is, information for executing variable display of a suspended decorative symbol (information indicated by a symbol designating command or the like. Etc.) is stored in such a manner that the winning order (digestion order) is known (for example, in association with the buffer number indicating the winning order). Further, the RAM 122 stores the determination (decision) results (for example, the determination result of the display mode of the hold display, the determination result of whether or not to execute the specific notice, etc.) by the effect control CPU 120. In addition, the RAM 122 may store information (for example, various flags) indicating the current gaming state (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state, a high base state, etc.).

  The display control unit 123 controls the image display device 5. For example, the display control unit 123 controls the execution of various effects such as variable display of decorative symbols, effects based on the display mode of the hold display, effects based on the background, and the like based on commands and control data from the effect control PCU 120. To do. The sound control board 13 controls the speaker 8 based on a command, control data, or the like from the effect control board 12 (effect control PCU 120). The lamp control board 14 controls the lamp 9 based on a command, control data, or the like from the effect control board 12 (effect control PCU 120).

Next, a specific example of control in the gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.
(Regarding controls related to ordinary games)
When the game ball launched toward the game area passes through the passage gate 41 and is detected by the gate switch 21 (when the normal chart start condition is satisfied), the CPU 103 causes the random number value MR4 (for determining the normal chart display result) (Numerical data indicating the random number MR4 at the time of passage) is acquired (extracted). In addition, on the condition that the upper limit number is not exceeded, the general-purpose hold storage (numerical data indicating the acquired random number MR4) corresponding to the general-purpose game based on the passage is stored in the RAM 102.

  Thereafter, when the general chart start condition is satisfied, the CPU 103 stores the general chart hold memory (numerical data indicating the random number MR4) digested this time and the general map display memory determined this time using the general chart display result determination table. It is determined whether or not the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol in the general game based on the “normal map” is “per standard”. After the normal symbol variable display result is determined, the normal symbol game 20 starts the normal symbol game. In the usual game, the variable display result is derived and displayed based on the determination result. When the variable display result in the general game is “per normal map”, the electric tulip type accessory of the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is controlled to be in an expanded open state for a predetermined time, and the game ball is set to the second start winning opening. It becomes easy to win.

(Regarding the control related to special game)
When the special figure starting condition is satisfied, the CPU 103 acquires (extracts) a random value MR1 (numerical data indicating the random value MR1 at the time of passage) for special figure display result determination (determination). Further, on the condition that the upper limit number is not exceeded, special figure holding storage (numerical data indicating the acquired random value MR1 or the like) corresponding to the special figure game based on the passage is stored in the RAM 102. Further, the CPU 103 can change the special symbol in the special symbol game based on the passage by using the special symbol holding memory (numerical data indicating the random number MR1 etc.) stored this time and the special graph display result determination (determination) table. It is determined whether or not the display result is “big hit”. In addition, an effect control command (for example, a symbol designation command) related to the start winning prize is output to the effect control board 12 side.

  On the effect control board 12 side, information (for example, information indicating whether or not “big hit” indicated by the symbol designating command or the like) indicated by the effect control command related to the start winning prize is stored in the RAM 122. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 acquires (extracts) a random number for effect determination (numerical data indicating a random value when the effect control command is input), and the acquired random value and the effect determination table; Is used to determine an effect (for example, an effect such as an effect based on the display mode of the hold display and an effect based on the background). The determined effect is executed according to the determined content (determined execution timing, determined effect mode, etc.). As described above, the effect determined at the time of starting winning (the effect due to the display mode of the hold display, the effect due to the background, etc.) is an example of the pre-reading notice effect among the notice effects. According to the pre-reading notice effect, it is possible to notify or indicate to the player the presence / absence or type of the reach effect, the degree of jackpot expectation, etc. in the variable display before the start of the variable display. .

  Thereafter, when the special figure start condition is satisfied, the CPU 103 uses the special figure holding memory (numerical data indicating the random number MR1 and the like) to be digested this time and the special figure display result determination (determination) table. It is determined whether or not the variable symbol display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game based on the special symbol hold memory is “big hit”. After the determination of the special symbol variable display result, the special symbol game is started. In the special game, the variable display result is derived and displayed based on the determination result. When the variable display result in the special figure game is “big hit”, the big hit gaming state is controlled, and the game ball is likely to win a big winning opening. In addition, after the determination of the special symbol variable display result (timing to start the special symbol), an effect control command (for example, a variable display result notification command) related to the start of variable display is output to the effect control board 12 side. .

  On the effect control board 12 side, information based on the effect control command at the start of variable display (for example, information indicating whether or not “big hit” based on the variable display result notification command, etc.) is stored in the RAM 122. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 acquires (extracts) a random number for effect determination (numerical data indicating a random value when the effect control command is input), and the acquired random value and the effect determination table; Is used to determine an effect (for example, an effect mode such as a character or character cut effect to be displayed during decorative display of variable designs). The determined effect is executed according to the determined content (determined execution timing, determined effect mode, etc.). As described above, the effect determined at the start of variable display is an example of a notice effect. According to the notice effect, it is possible to notify or suggest to the player the expected degree of jackpot.

  It should be noted that after the big hit gaming state ends, the gaming state may be different from the normal state. For example, according to the big hit type determined by the CPU 103 using the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination (determination) and the big hit type determination (determination) table, the high probability state (probability change state change) after the big hit gaming state is ended. ) Or a high base state (time-short state).

  The high probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of “big hit” in the variable display result in the special symbol (first special diagram, second special diagram) is higher than in the normal state (low probability state). For example, as a special figure display result determination (determination) table, a normal state table and a high-accuracy state table are prepared. It may be determined (determined) whether or not the variable display result of the symbol is “big hit”. Note that the table for the high-accuracy state corresponds to more jackpot determination (determination) values (the jackpot compared with the random number MR1 for determination (determination) of special figure display results) than the table for the normal state. (Numerical value) may be set.

  The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability of “per normal game” in the variable display result in the normal symbol is higher than in the normal state (low base). For example, a normal state display table and a high base state table are prepared as the normal display result determination table. When the base display result is in the high base state, the high base state table is used to change the normal symbol. It may be determined whether or not the display result is “per large map”. The table for the high base state has a larger number of determination values per common figure than the table for the normal state (a numerical value corresponding to a common figure compared with the random number MR4 for determining the general figure display result). Should be set. When in the high base state, the variable symbol display time may be shortened compared to when in the normal state. The time for controlling to a state may be lengthened, or a high base state may be realized by a combination thereof.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining various determinations and the like. FIG. 3A shows a configuration example of a special figure display result determination (determination) table stored in the ROM 101. In the following description, the updatable values (possible values) of the random value MR1 for special figure display result determination (determination) are 65536 (values in the range of “0” to “65535”). To do.

  The special figure display result determination (determination) table shown in FIG. 3A is a table that is referred to in order to determine (determine) whether the variable display result is “big hit” or “lost” in the special figure game. is there. The special figure display result judgment (determination) table shown in FIG. 3A is a special figure display in which the judgment value to be compared with the random value MR1 is “big hit” or “losing” according to the gaming state of the gaming machine 1. Assigned to the result. Specifically, 662 determination values (values in the range of “8000” to “8661”) are assigned to “big hit” for the low probability state (normal state). On the other hand, 5462 judgment values “8000” to “13461” are assigned to “big hit” for the high-accuracy state.

  When the current gaming state is the low probability state, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the acquired random number value MR1 matches any of the 662 jackpot determination values corresponding to the low probability state. When the CPU 103 determines that the acquired random value MR1 matches any of the 662 jackpot determination values, the CPU 103 determines (determines) that the variable display result is “big hit”, and determines that it does not match any of them. In such a case, it is determined (determined) that the variable display result is “lost”. Therefore, when the current gaming state is a low-probability state, the probability of determining (deciding) to be “big hit” is 662/65536, that is, about 1/99. When the current gaming state is the high probability state, the CPU 103 determines (determines) whether the acquired random number value MR1 matches any of the 5462 jackpot determination values corresponding to the high probability state. If the CPU 103 determines that the acquired random value MR1 matches any of the 5462 jackpot determination values, the CPU 103 determines (decides) that the variable display result is “big hit”, and determines that it does not match any of them. In such a case, it is determined (determined) that the variable display result is “lost”. Therefore, when the current gaming state is a highly probable state, the probability of determining (deciding) to be “big hit” is 5462/65536, that is, about 1/12.

  FIG. 3B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the determination ratio of the display mode of the hold display displayed in the hold display area 5H of the image display device 5. Specifically, FIG. 3B shows that the display mode of the hold display is determined at a different ratio depending on whether the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big hit or a loss. Yes. In the following description, there are three display modes of the hold display: “◎ (double circle / lighting)”, “□ (square / flashing, etc.)” and “◯ (circle / lighting)”. To do. “□ → ◎” represents a change from “□” to “◎”. It is assumed that the timing of changing from “□” to “◎” is constant (for example, a period before one change in which the target hold display is consumed).

  Of the three display modes, “◯” is a normal display mode having the lowest expectation degree of jackpot and the highest display frequency (appearance frequency). “□” is a display mode that blinks or changes in shade, brightness, etc., and is more conspicuous than “よ り” or “◯” that is simply lit. Note that “□” may be more noticeable than “◯” but less noticeable than “よ り”.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, at the time of losing (when losing in the variable display corresponding to the hold display), “◎” is determined at a rate of 1% as the display mode of the hold display. □ → ◎ ”is determined at a rate of 1%,“ □ ”is determined at a rate of 4%, and“ ◯ ”is determined at a rate of 94%. For example, the ROM 121 stores a hold display mode determination table for loss (a hold display mode determination table that is referred to when a loss occurs in variable display corresponding to the hold display), and a hold display mode for loss In the decision table, each display mode (“◎”, “□ → ◎”, “□”, “◯”) is determined at the above-mentioned ratio, and each display mode is used for determining the hold display mode. It is only necessary to assign a determination value to be compared with a random value (one of the random values for effect determination). For example, when there are 100 updatable values of the random number value for determining the hold display mode, the determination value to be compared with the random value for determining the hold display mode is displayed in the hold display mode determination table for losing time. It is only necessary that one is assigned to “」 ”, one to“ □ → ◎ ”, four to“ □ ”, and 94 to“ ◯ ”.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, at the time of big hit (when the big display is in the variable display corresponding to the hold display), the display mode of the hold display is determined at a ratio of 46%. , “□ → ◎” is determined at a rate of 20%, “□” is determined at a rate of 20%, and “◯” is determined at a rate of 14%. For example, the ROM 121 stores a hold display mode determination table for big hits (a hold display mode determination table that is referred to when a big hit is made in the variable display corresponding to the hold display), and a hold display mode for big hits is stored. In the determination table, it is only necessary to assign a determination value to be compared with the random number value of the hold display mode determination to each display mode so that each display mode is determined at the above-described ratio.

  Next, a process for determining the display mode of the hold display, which is a part of the effect determination process (winning effect determination process) executed by the effect control CPU 120 at the time of starting winning, will be described. At the time of winning a start (more specifically, when it is determined that the hold information (information indicated by the symbol designating command or the like) stored in the RAM 122 has increased due to a timer interrupt), the effect control CPU 120 stores in the RAM 122 Check the information indicated by the symbol designating command.

  When the information indicated by the symbol designating command is information indicating that the display is lost (when it is lost in the variable display corresponding to the hold display), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display mode of the hold display. Refer to the hold display mode determination table for lost time. Then, the effect control CPU 120 uses the acquired random number for determining the hold display mode to display each display mode (“◎”, “□ → ◎”, “□”, “ O ”) is determined as to match with any of the determination values, and it is determined that one of the matching display modes is set.

  On the other hand, when the information indicated by the symbol designation command is information indicating that it is a big hit (when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big win), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display mode of the hold display. In order to do this, reference is made to the hold display mode determination table for the big hit. Then, the CPU 120 for effect control uses the acquired random number for determining the hold display mode to display each display mode (“◎”, “□ → ◎”, “□”, “ O ”) is determined as to match with any of the determination values, and it is determined that one of the matching display modes is set.

  In addition, the determination content regarding the display mode of the above-described hold display is stored. For example, when the display mode of a certain hold display is determined, the effect control CPU 120 stores information indicating the determined display mode of the hold display in the hold storage corresponding to the hold display in the RAM 122 (for example, whether or not it is a big hit). (Information indicating the determination result or the like) may be stored (for example, stored in association with the buffer number).

  According to FIG. 3B (if other conditions (for example, whether or not the background notice is executed) are the same), the jackpot expectation is highest when the display mode is “「 ”, and the display mode is“ □ ”. "Is changed to" ◎ "is the second highest, the display mode is" □ "is the third highest, and the display mode is" O ", the lowest.

  FIGS. 3C and 3D are explanatory diagrams for explaining a determination ratio of whether or not to execute a specific notice (specific effect) that can be executed in the display area of the image display device 5. In FIG. 3C, when the display mode of the hold display is any one of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, and “◯” (the display mode of the hold display is “◎”, “□ → ◎”, “ ”), The percentage of determination of whether or not to execute a specific notice is shown. Specifically, whether or not a specific notice is executed is a big hit or a loss in the variable display corresponding to the hold display. It shows that it is decided at a different ratio depending on the situation. FIG. 3D shows a determination ratio of whether or not to execute the specific notice when the display mode of the hold display is “□” (when the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “□”). This indicates that whether or not the specific notice is executed is determined at a different ratio depending on whether the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big hit or a loss. An example of the specific notice is a background notice (effect by background). In addition, the timing at which the specific notice (background notice) is executed is constant (for example, a period before one change in which the target hold display is consumed).

  When the display mode of the hold display is “◎”, “□ → ◎”, or “◯” and the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost (that is, in the variable display corresponding to the hold display) (If any of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, or “◯” is determined as the display mode of the hold display when it is lost), as shown in FIG. “Execution” is determined at a rate of 8%, and “No execution” is determined at a rate of 92%. For example, the ROM 121 is referred to when any one of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, and “◯” is determined as the display mode of the hold display when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost. A specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table (hereinafter referred to as “specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table A”) is stored, and in the specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table A, “execution present” is at a rate of 8%. In order to determine “no execution” at a rate of 92%, a random number value (one of random values for effect determination) for determining whether or not to execute a specific notice is set to “execution present” and “no execution”. It is sufficient that a determination value to be compared is assigned. For example, when there are 100 updatable values of the random number value for determining whether or not to execute the specific advance notice, a determination value to be compared with the random value for determining whether or not to execute the specific advance notice is stored in the specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table A. It is only necessary to assign “8” to “executed” and “92” to “not executed”.

  When the display mode of the hold display is “◎”, “□ → ◎”, or “◯” and the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big hit (that is, in the variable display corresponding to the hold display) (If any of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, or “◯” is determined as the display mode of the hold display when a big hit is made), as shown in FIG. “Execution” is determined at a rate of 14%, and “No execution” is determined at a rate of 86%. For example, the ROM 121 is referred to when any one of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, and “◯” is determined as the display mode of the hold display when a big win is obtained in the variable display corresponding to the hold display. A specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table (hereinafter referred to as “specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table B”) is stored, and in the specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table B, “execution present” is a ratio of 14%. If a determination value to be compared with a random number value for determining whether or not to execute a specific advance notice is assigned to “executed” and “not executed” so that “not executed” is determined at a ratio of 86%. Good.

  When the display mode of the hold display is “□” and the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost (that is, when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost, the display mode of the hold display is “□”. ”Is determined), as shown in FIG. 3D, for the specific notice,“ executed ”is determined at a rate of 1%, and“ not executed ”is determined at a rate of 99%. . For example, the ROM 121 has a specific notice execution presence / absence determination table (hereinafter, for convenience of description) that is referred to when “□” is determined as the display mode of the hold display when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost. , Referred to as “specific notice execution presence / absence determination table C”). In the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table C, “executed” is determined at a rate of 1%, and “not executed” is at a rate of 99%. As determined, it is only necessary to assign a determination value to be compared with a random number for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice to “execution present” and “execution not performed”.

  When the display mode of the hold display is “□” and the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big hit (that is, when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big win, the display mode of the hold display is “□”. ”Is determined), as shown in FIG. 3D, for the specific notice,“ executed ”is determined at a rate of 25%, and“ not executed ”is determined at a rate of 75%. . For example, in the ROM 121, a specific notice execution presence / absence determination table (hereinafter, for convenience of description) that is referred to when “□” is determined as the display mode of the hold display when a big win is obtained in the variable display corresponding to the hold display. , Referred to as “specific notice execution presence / absence determination table D”). In the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table D, “executed” is determined at a rate of 25%, and “not executed” is at a rate of 75%. As determined, it is only necessary to assign a determination value to be compared with a random number for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice to “execution present” and “execution not performed”.

  Next, a process of determining whether or not to execute a specific notice, which is a part of the effect determination process (the effect determination process at the time of winning) executed by the effect control CPU 120 at the time of starting winning, will be described. At the time of starting winning, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the information indicated by the symbol designation command stored in the RAM 122 and the determination result of the display mode of the hold display.

  When the information indicated by the symbol designating command is information indicating a loss and the result of determining the display mode of the hold display is “◎”, “□ → ◎”, or “◯”, The effect control CPU 120 refers to the specific notice execution presence / absence determination table A to determine whether or not the specific notice is executed. Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, whether or not the random number value for determining whether or not the specific notice is executed matches the determination value of “executed” in the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table A, and determines that they match. In this case, “execution is performed” is determined, and when it is determined that they do not match (that is, when the determination value is “execution not performed”), “execution is not performed” is determined.

  When the information indicated by the symbol designating command is information indicating that the display is lost, and the determination result of the display mode of the hold display is “□”, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the specific notice. In order to do this, the specific notice execution presence / absence determination table C is referred to. Then, for example, the production control CPU 120 determines whether or not the random number value for determining whether or not the specific notice is executed matches the determination value “executed” in the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table C, and determines that they match. In this case, “execution is performed” is determined, and when it is determined that they do not match (that is, when the determination value is “execution not performed”), “execution is not performed” is determined.

  When the information indicated by the symbol designating command is a big hit, and the determination result of the display mode of the hold display is any of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, “◯”, The effect control CPU 120 refers to the specific notice execution presence / absence determination table B to determine whether or not the specific notice is executed. Then, for example, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the random number for determining whether or not the specific notice is executed matches the determination value “executed” in the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table B, and determines that they match. In this case, “executed” is determined, and when it is determined that they do not match (that is, when the determination value matches “not executed”), it is determined “not executed”.

  When the information indicated by the symbol designation command is information indicating that it is a big hit, and the determination result of the display mode of the hold display is “□”, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the specific notice. For this purpose, the specific notice execution presence / absence determination table D is referred to. Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, whether or not the random number value for determining whether or not the specific notice is executed matches the determination value of “executed” in the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table D, and determines that they match. In this case, “execution is performed” is determined, and when it is determined that they do not match (that is, when the determination value is “execution not performed”), “execution is not performed” is determined.

  In addition, the determination content related to the specific notice is stored. For example, when the CPU 120 for effect control determines that the specific notice is “executed” in connection with a certain hold display (depending on whether the variable display in the hold display is a big hit or a loss), the RAM 122 Information indicating that the specific notice is to be executed may be stored in association with the hold storage (hold information) corresponding to the hold display.

  According to FIG. 3 (C) and FIG. 3 (D) (if other conditions (for example, the display mode of the hold display) are the same), when the specific notice is executed, the specific notice is not executed. However, the expectation level for the jackpot is high.

  FIG. 4A is a flowchart illustrating an example of a winning effect determination process executed by the effect control CPU 120 at the time of starting winning. At the time of starting winning, the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect determination process at the time of winning together with an effect random number update process for updating the random value for determining the hold display mode by a timer interruption. In the flowchart, S1 is an abbreviation for step S1. The same applies to S2 and thereafter.

  The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the number of reserved memories is three or more (whether or not the number of special figure reserved memories is three or more due to the current winning) (S1). For example, if the CPU 120 for effect control refers to the hold information stored in the RAM 122 and determines whether there are three or more sums of the first special figure hold memory number and the second special figure hold memory number. Good. When the number of reserved memories is three or more (S1; YES), the production control CPU 120 determines whether or not the display mode of the pending display is “◯” (S2). For example, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the display mode of the hold display is “◯” with reference to the information related to the display mode of the hold display stored in the RAM 122.

  When both the display modes of the hold display are “◯” (S2; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display mode of the hold display using a random number value for determining the hold display mode (S3). Specifically, when the information indicated by the symbol designating command is information indicating that the display is lost (when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost), the effect control CPU 120 determines the hold display mode. The display mode of the hold display is determined using the random number value (updated by the random number update process for rendering) and the hold display mode determination table for the loss, and the information indicated by the symbol designating command is a big hit If it is information indicating that (when the variable display corresponding to the hold display is a big hit), the effect control CPU 120 obtains a random number value for determining the hold display mode and a hold display mode determining table for the big hit time. Used to determine the display mode of the hold display. By the process of S3, the display mode of the hold display is determined at a rate as shown in FIG. 3B depending on whether the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost or a big hit. Further, the determination content (determination result) by the process of S3 is stored in the RAM 122 (for example, stored in association with the buffer number). The same applies to the contents determined by the processes of S4, S5, and S6.

  Subsequent to S3, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the specific notice using a random number value for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice (S4). Specifically, when the information indicated by the symbol designating command is information indicating a loss, and the determination content in S3 is any one of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, and “◯” The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the specific notice by using the random number for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice and the specific notice execution presence / absence determination table A. In addition, when the information indicated by the symbol designation command is information indicating a loss, and the determination content in S3 is “□”, the effect control CPU 120 determines a random number value for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice. And whether or not the specific notice is executed is determined using the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table C. In addition, if the information indicated by the symbol designating command is a big hit, and the decision content in S3 is any of “◎”, “□ → ◎”, “◯”, a specific notice The presence / absence of execution of the specific advance notice is determined using the random number value for determining the presence / absence of execution and the specific advance notice execution presence / absence determination table B. Further, when the information indicated by the symbol designating command is information indicating that it is a big hit, and the determination content in S3 is “□”, the effect control CPU 120 determines a random number value for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice. And whether or not to execute the specific notice is determined using the specific notice execution / non-execution determination table D. Depending on whether the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lost or a big hit by the process of S4, and the determination result of the display mode of the hold display in S3, FIG. 3 (C) or FIG. 3 (D). Whether or not to execute the specific notice is determined at a rate as shown. Then, the winning effect determination process is terminated.

  When the number of reserved memories is not three or more (S1; NO), or when the display mode of the hold display is not “◯” (S2; NO), the effect control CPU 120 changes the display mode of the hold display. In addition to being determined as “◯” (S5), it is determined not to execute the specific notice (S6), and the winning effect determining process is terminated.

  In S1, it is determined whether the number is 3 or more, considering that the timing at which the display mode of the hold display changes or the timing at which the background notice is executed is the period before the target 1 digestion change. This is to sufficiently secure a period until the display mode of the display is changed and a period until the specific notice is executed. Immediately after the target hold display is displayed in the hold display area 5H, if the display mode of the target hold display is changed or a specific advance notice is executed, it may become too busy (and whether the display mode has changed too quickly) It is difficult to recognize whether or not a specific notice has been executed), and it is determined whether there are three or more.

  However, the process of S1 may be omitted (S3 and S4 may be executed even if there are less than three). For example, as will be described in detail later, the display mode of the current display corresponding to the target hold display is changed or a specific notice is executed at the timing when the target hold display is consumed or at one timing during variable target display. In the case of making it, the process of S1 may be omitted in time for the timing of changing the display mode of the current display or the timing of executing the specific notice.

  In S2, whether or not the display mode of the hold display is “◯” is determined by holding display of display modes other than “◯” (“□”, “◎”) in the hold display area 5H. This is because it is difficult to understand the target when a plurality of is displayed. Note that the process of S2 may be omitted (S3 and S4 may be executed even if the display mode of the hold display is “◯”). Thereby, interest can be improved.

  FIG. 4B shows the contents determined by the processes of S3 and S4. Specifically, the combination of the determination result by the process of S3 and the determination result by the process of S4 (symbol a to h), and the jackpot expectation when each combination is obtained. In calculating the jackpot expectation degree shown in FIG. 4B, the jackpot probability is set to 1/99.

(The display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is executed / sign a)
At the time of losing, the ratio at which the display mode of the hold display is determined as “◎” is 1% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio at which the specific notice is determined to be executed is 8% (see FIG. 3 ( C)). Therefore, at the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is executed is 0.08%. At the time of the big hit, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “◎” is 46% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined to be executed is 14% (see FIG. 3 ( C)). Therefore, at the time of a big hit, the ratio of the display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is executed is 6.44%. Accordingly, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “予 告” and the specific notice is executed is (1 × 6.44) / {(1 × 6.44) + (98 × 0.08). )}, Which is approximately 45%). Note that “98” is the number of losses (expected value) when the big hit probability is 1/99, and “1” is the number of big hits (expected value) when the big hit probability is 1/99. Represents.

(The display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is not executed / sign b)
At the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “◎” is 1% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined not to be executed is 92% (FIG. 3 ( C)). Therefore, at the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is executed is 0.92%. At the time of the big hit, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “◎” is 46% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined not to be executed is 86% (FIG. 3 ( C)). Therefore, at the time of a big hit, the percentage of the display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is not executed is 39.56%. Accordingly, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “予 告” and the specific notice is not executed is (1 × 39.56) / {(1 × 39.56) + (98 × 0.92). )}, Which is about 31%.

(The display mode of the hold display is “□” → “◎” and the specific notice is executed / sign c)
At the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎” is 1% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined to be executed is 8%. (See FIG. 3C). Therefore, at the time of losing, the display mode of the hold display is “□” → “◎” and the specific notice is executed is 0.08%. At the time of a big hit, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎” is 20% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined to be executed is 14%. (See FIG. 3C). Therefore, at the time of a big hit, the proportion of the display mode of the hold display is “□” → “◎” and the specific notice is executed is 2.80%. Accordingly, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “予 告” and the specific notice is executed is (1 × 2.8) / {(1 × 2.8) + (98 × 0.08). )}, Which is about 26%).

(The display mode of the hold display is “□” → “◎” and the specific notice is not executed / symbol d)
At the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎” is 1% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined not to be executed is 92%. (See FIG. 3C). Therefore, at the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “□” → “◎” and the specific notice is executed is 0.92%. At the time of the big hit, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎” is 20% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio that the specific notice is determined not to be executed is 86%. (See FIG. 3C). Therefore, at the time of a big hit, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “□” → “◎” and the specific notice is not executed is 17.2%. Accordingly, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “予 告” and the specific notice is executed is (1 × 17.2) / {(1 × 17.2) + (98 × 0.92). )}, Which is about 16%.

(The display mode of the hold display is “□” and the specific notice is executed / sign e)
At the time of losing, the ratio at which the display mode of the hold display is determined as “□” is 4% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio at which the specific notice is determined to be executed is 1% (see FIG. 3 ( D)). Therefore, at the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “□” and the specific notice is executed is 0.04%. At the time of the big hit, the ratio at which the display mode of the hold display is determined as “□” is 20% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio at which the specific notice is determined to be executed is 25% (see FIG. D)). Therefore, at the time of a big hit, the proportion of the display mode of the hold display is “□” and the specific notice is executed is 5.00%. Therefore, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is executed is calculated by (1 × 5) / {(1 × 5) + (98 × 0.04)}. About 56%.

(The display mode of the hold display is “□” and the specific notice is not executed / sign f)
At the time of losing, the ratio at which the display mode of the hold display is determined as “□” is 4% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio at which the specific notice is determined not to be executed is 99% (see FIG. 3 ( D)). Therefore, at the time of losing, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “□” and the specific notice is not executed is 3.96%. At the time of the big hit, the ratio at which the display mode of the hold display is determined as “□” is 20% (see FIG. 3B), and the ratio at which the specific notice is determined not to be executed is 75% (see FIG. D)). Therefore, at the time of a big hit, the ratio that the display mode of the hold display is “□” and the specific notice is not executed is 15.0%. Therefore, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “◎” and the specific notice is executed is calculated by (1 × 15) / {(1 × 15) + (98 × 3.96)}. About 4%.

(The display mode of the hold display is “◯” and the specific notice is executed / symbol g)
Similarly, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “◯” and the specific notice is executed is (1 × 1.96) / {(1 × 1.96) + (98 × 7. 52)}, which is about 0.3%.

(The display mode of the hold display is “◯” and the specific notice is not executed / sign h)
Similarly, the expected degree of jackpot when the display mode of the hold display is “◯” and the specific notice is not executed is (1 × 12.04) / {(1 × 12.04) + (98 × 86. 48)}, which is about 0.1%.

  According to FIG. 4B (according to the combination of the display mode of the hold display and whether or not the background notice is executed), the expectation of jackpot according to the display form of the hold display when the specific notice is not executed is “◎”, “□” → “◎”, “□”, “◯” in order (“◎” is about 31%, “□” → “◎” is about 16%, “□” is about 4%, “○” Is about 0.1%). On the other hand, when a specific advance notice is executed, the expectation of jackpot due to the display mode of the hold display is higher in the order of “□”, “◎”, “□” → “◎”, “◯” (“□” is approximately 56%, “◎” is about 45%, “□” → “◎” is about 26%, “◯” is about 0.3%).

  In other words, when the hold display is displayed as “□” and the specific advance notice is not executed until the hold display is exhausted, the jackpot expectation of the variable display corresponding to the hold display is “◎”. If the specific notice is not executed before the hold display is exhausted, the jackpot expectation of the variable display corresponding to the hold display, or the hold display changes to “◎” after it is displayed as “□”. When the specific notice is not executed before the hold display is exhausted, the variable display corresponding to the hold display is lower than the jackpot expectation level, but the hold display is displayed with “□” When the specific notice is executed before the display is exhausted, the expected degree of jackpot of the variable display corresponding to the hold display is indicated by “◎” and the specific notice is displayed before the hold display is consumed. When a call is made, a specific advance notice was executed until the expected value of the jackpot of the variable display corresponding to the hold display or the hold display was displayed as “□” and then changed to “◎” and the hold display was consumed. It is higher than the jackpot expectation of the variable display corresponding to the hold display in the case.

  In other words, in accordance with whether or not the specific advance notice is executed, the ranking of the big hit expectation degree according to the display mode of the hold display is reversed. For example, comparing the case of “□” (when it does not change to “◎”) and the case of “◎” (in the case of “◎” from our office), if the specific advance notice is not executed, the jackpot expectation is “◎ ”Is higher (“ ◎ ”is about 31%.“ □ ”is about 4%), but if a specific notice is executed, the big hit expectation is higher for“ □ ”(“ ◎ ” "Is about 45%." □ "is about 56%). For example, comparing the case of “□” (when it does not change to “◎”) with the case of change from “□” to “◎”, the big hit expectation is from “□” unless a specific notice is executed. When it changes to “◎” (“□” → “◎” is about 16%, “□” is about 4%), but when the specific notice is executed, the big hit expectation is “□” (“□” → “◎” is about 26%, “□” is about 56%).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display example in the image display device 5. In each of FIGS. 5A to 5D, a third winning for the special game occurs, and the display mode of the hold display is determined with the third winning as a target, and the background notice ( The display example for every determination content in the image display apparatus 5 when the presence or absence of execution of (specific notice) is determined is shown. In the background notice, the cherry blossom petals are displayed as the background. In addition, the timing at which the background notice is executed and the timing at which the display mode of the hold display is changed are both the period before the target digestion 1 change as described above. In each of FIGS. 5 (A) to 5 (D), the upper diagram represents a scene in which the target hold display is additionally displayed, and the lower diagram represents the scene before the target digestion 1 change. .

  FIG. 5A is a display example when the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “□” and it is determined not to execute the background notice (in the case of the symbol f in FIG. 4B). Since the display mode of the hold display is determined as “□”, “□” is additionally displayed at the time of winning a prize (the upper diagram). In addition, since it was decided not to execute the background notice, the background did not change before the first digestion change (lower figure).

  FIG. 5B is a display example when the display mode of the hold display is determined to be “□” and it is determined to execute the background notice (in the case of the symbol e in FIG. 4B). Since the display mode of the hold display is determined as “□”, “□” is additionally displayed at the time of winning a prize (the upper diagram). In addition, since it was decided to execute the background notice, the cherry blossom petals are displayed as the background before the first digestion change (lower figure). Note that the notification image I displayed as “background notice” is displayed by the effect control CPU 120 to notify the player that the background notice has been executed (the same applies to FIG. 5D). . Thereby, for example, even if the executed background notice is difficult to notice, the player can recognize that the background notice has been executed. The display period of the notification image I is during the variable display. That is, the notification image I displays the notification image I when the background notice is executed during the variable display before one change in which the target hold display is consumed, and the notification image I when the variable display ends. Erase. The display period of the notification image I may be other than the above period. The notification image I may be deleted after the variable display of the target is started (that is, during the variable display of the target). For example, when the determined decorative symbol that is a jackpot combination is not derived in the variable display of the target, the notification image I is erased at the first timing during the variable display of the target, and when the fixed decorative symbol that is a jackpot combination is derived, The notification image I is erased at a second timing that is a timing after the first timing (for example, a timing at which a confirmed decorative symbol is derived, or a timing slightly before the determined decorative symbol is derived). May be.

  FIG. 5C is a table when the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎” and it is determined not to execute the background notice (in the case of the symbol d in FIG. 4B). It is an example. Since the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎”, “□” is additionally displayed at the time of winning a prize (upper figure), and is changed to “◎” before the change of the digestion 1. In addition, since it was decided not to execute the background notice, the background did not change before the first digestion change (lower figure).

  FIG. 5D is a table when the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎” and it is determined to execute the background notice (in the case of reference c in FIG. 4B). It is an example. Since the display mode of the hold display is determined from “□” to “◎”, “□” is additionally displayed at the time of winning a prize (upper figure), and is changed to “◎” before the change of the digestion 1. In addition, since it was decided to execute the background notice, the cherry blossom petals are displayed as the background before the first digestion change (lower figure).

  5 (A) to 5 (D), the jackpot expectation is highest at about 56% in the case of FIG. 5 (B) (see symbol e in FIG. 4 (B)), and FIG. In the case of D), the next highest value is about 26% (refer to the symbol c in FIG. 4B), and in the case of FIG. 5C, the next highest value is about 16% (see the symbol d in FIG. 4B). In the case of FIG. 5 (A), the lowest is about 4% (see symbol f in FIG. 4 (B)). In other words, if the background does not become cherry blossom petals, the big hit expectation is higher when it changes to “に” (the big hit expectation in the case of FIG. 5C> the big hit expectation in the case of FIG. 5A) ) If the background is the petal of cherry blossoms, the big hit expectation is higher in the case of “□” (when it does not change to “◎”) (expected big hit in the case of FIG. 5B> FIG. 5D) Expectation of jackpot in case of

  The various determination ratios described in the above embodiment are examples, and are not limited to those described in this embodiment. For example, if the order of expectation in the display mode of the hold display is reversed depending on whether or not the specific notice is executed, the jackpot probability is not shown in FIG. The determination ratio of the display mode of the hold display may not be the one shown in FIG. 3B, and the determination ratio of the specific notice is shown in FIG. 3B or FIG. 3C. It doesn't have to be a thing.

  In the above embodiment, the change effect for changing the display mode of the hold display from “□” to “◎” is executed alone (the display mode of the hold display is simply changed from “□” to “◎”. However, a change suggestion effect (also referred to as an action effect) suggesting that the change effect is executed may be executed together with the change effect. For example, the effect control CPU 120 may execute an effect in which a character that changes “□” to “◎” appears as a change suggestion effect. Further, the change suggestion effect may have different execution ratios depending on whether or not the specific effect is executed. As an example, when the specific effect is not executed, the rate at which the change suggestion effect is executed may be higher than when the specific effect is executed. In addition, by referring to the change suggestion effect execution presence / absence determination table that differs depending on whether the specific notice is executed or not, the change suggestion effect execution ratio may be made different depending on whether the specific notice is executed. Good. For example, when the specific effect is executed, the execution ratio of the change suggesting effect may be set higher than when the specific effect is not executed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, whether or not the specific notice is executed depending on whether the display mode of the hold display is “◎”, “□ → ◎”, or “◯” or “□”. Although the execution ratio is varied, the aspect of varying the execution ratio of whether or not the specific notice is performed is not limited to this. For example, the execution ratio of whether or not the specific notice is executed may be different depending on whether it is “◎” or “□ → ◎”, “◯”, or “□”. .

  In the above embodiment, whether or not the background notice is executed is determined after determining the display mode of the hold display, but the display mode of the hold display may be determined after determining whether or not the background notice is executed. Further, instead of deciding in a stepwise manner, a combination of the display mode of the hold display and the background presence / absence of execution (symbol a to h in FIG. 4B) may be collectively determined.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when there exist other hold displays other than "(circle)" (The hold display other than "(circle)" is displayed in the hold display digested before the target hold display. In the case where it exists, the hold display is determined to be “◯” without depending on the lottery, but even in this case, “◎”, “□ → ◎”, “□”, “○” You may decide to either. In addition, the determination ratio may be different depending on whether there is any other hold display other than “◯”. For example, when “◎” already exists, the ratio determined as “□” may be lower than when “◎” does not exist. The presence of “◎” may or may not include before the change when “□ → ◎” is determined. For example, when “□” already exists, the ratio determined as “さ れ る” may be lower than when “□” does not exist. It should be noted that determining “◎” may or may not include determining “□ → ◎”.

  In the above-described embodiment, the change timing of the display mode of the hold display and the execution timing of the specific notice (background notice) are both the period before one change in which the target hold display is consumed, but one change before the change. In the period, the change timing of the display mode of the hold display is earlier than the execution timing of the specific notice. If the specific notice is executed, the expectation of jackpot will be higher when the display mode of the hold display does not change from “□” to “◎” than when it changes from “◎”. Whether the specific notice is executed at the execution timing of the specific notice that comes later depending on whether the display form of the hold display has changed from “□” to “◎” at the change timing of the display form of the coming hold display It is possible to focus on (expect). Specifically, when the display mode of the hold display does not change from “□” to “◎” at the change timing of the display mode of the hold display, the specific notice is expected to be executed at the execution timing of the specific notice. When the display mode of the hold display changes from “□” to “◎”, it can be expected that the specific notice is not executed.

  Instead of the above, the execution timing of the specific notice may be earlier than the change timing of the display mode of the hold display. If the specific notice is executed, the expectation of jackpot will be higher when the display mode of the hold display does not change from “□” to “◎” than when it changes from “◎”. Whether or not the display mode of the hold display changes from “□” to “◎” at the change timing of the display mode of the hold display that comes later depending on whether or not the specific notice is executed at the execution timing of the specific notice to arrive Attention (expectation). Specifically, if the specific notice is not executed at the execution timing of the specific notice, it is expected that the display form of the hold display will change from “□” to “◎” at the change timing of the display form of the hold display. When the specific notice is executed, it can be expected that the display mode of the hold display does not change from “□” to “◎”.

  Instead of the above, both the above-mentioned timings may be made substantially simultaneous (or simultaneous). Thereby, at the timing, it can be noted whether or not the specific notice is executed and whether or not the hold display changes from “□” to “「 ”.

  Further, the change timing of the display mode of the hold display and the execution timing of the specific notice need not be the period before one change in which the hold display as the target is consumed. For example, the change timing of the display mode of the hold display may be three changes before the target hold display is digested, and the execution timing of the specific notice may be before the two changes when the target hold display is digested.

  Moreover, the execution timing of the specific notice may not be a period before the target hold display is digested. For example, the execution timing of the specific notice may be the timing at which the target hold display is consumed, or may be one timing during the variable display (change) of the target. Accordingly, it can be noted whether or not the specific advance notice is executed after the target hold display is digested.

  In addition, when the execution timing of the specific notice is not the period before the target hold display is consumed (when the target hold display is consumed or one of the target variable display times) Whether or not to execute the specific notice may be determined at the time of starting winning (when it is determined that the hold information stored in the RAM 122 has increased due to the timer interrupt) or at the start of fluctuation (more specifically, by the timer interrupt) It may be determined when variable display is performed based on target hold information stored in the RAM 122.

  Also, instead of or in addition to changing the display mode of the hold display during the period before the target hold display is consumed, this time display corresponding to the hold display when the target hold display is consumed ( The display mode of what is displayed instead of the hold display digested when the hold display is digested may be changed. For example, the hold display whose display mode is “□” may be deleted, and the current display whose display mode is “「 ”may be displayed. The current display is also referred to as a digestion display, an active display, or the like. Further, the display mode of the current display may be changed during the variable display of the target (during the change). For example, the display mode of the current display may be changed from “□” to “◎” during variable display of the target. In other words, as described above, instead of or in addition to changing the determination ratio of the display mode of the hold display depending on whether it is a big hit or a loss, this time display depending on whether it is a big hit or a loss You may make it vary the determination ratio of the display mode. Thereby, it can be made to notice whether a display mode changes about this time display after digestion of the target hold display is completed.

  The display mode of the current display may be determined at the time of start winning (when it is determined that the hold information stored in the RAM 122 has increased due to a timer interrupt), or at the start of fluctuation (more specifically, It may be determined when variable display is executed based on target hold information stored in the RAM 122 by a timer interrupt.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the determination ratio of the display mode of the hold display is varied depending on whether it is a big hit or a loss, but for example, an effect control command regarding which type of reach will be made at the time of winning a prize By outputting (which is also referred to as a variable category command), the determination ratio of the display mode of the hold display may be varied depending on whether or not the reach is reached. The same applies to the determination of whether or not to execute the specific notice.

  In the embodiment described above, the number of display modes of the hold display is three types (“◎”, “□”, “◯”), but may be two types or four or more types. In addition, the display mode of the hold display in the above embodiment is merely an example, and may be a display mode (for example, white, blue, red, etc.) other than “◎”, “□”, and “◯”. Further, the specific notice is not limited to the effect related to the background (for example, light emission by the lamp 9 may be used).

  In addition, the jackpot expectation degree of “□” (the expectation degree of big hit when it does not change to “◎”) is made as low as the big hit expectation degree of “◯”, and the display mode of “◯” and the display of “◎” The difference between “□” and “◯” may be less than the difference from the embodiment. For example, “◯” and “◎” may be different in shape and color, and “□” and “◯” may be different in only one of the shape and color and the other may be the same. This allows the player to recognize that “□” is close to “◯” at a point where the degree of expectation of jackpot is low and close to “◎” at a point where it can change to “◎”.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the display mode of the hold display and the execution / non-execution of the specific notice are changed in relation to the big hit expectation, but instead of or in addition to the above, the expectation or high In relation to the degree of expectation to be in the base state, the display mode of the hold display and the presence / absence of execution of the specific notice may be varied.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the display mode of the hold display was determined on the production | presentation control board 12 side, the display mode of the hold display was decided on the main board | substrate 11 side, and the production control board 12 side is made with, for example, an effect control command It may be output. In the above embodiment, whether or not to execute the specific notice (effect based on the background) is determined on the effect control board 12 side, but whether or not to execute the specific notice is determined on the main board 11 side, and on the effect control board 12 side. For example, it may be output by an effect control command.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it is 1st special figure reservation memory or 2nd special figure reservation memory, it digests in order of winning, but there exists 1st special figure reservation memory and 2nd special figure reservation memory In this case, the second special figure reservation memory may be preferentially digested. In the aspect of preferentially digesting the second special figure hold memory, the effect by the display mode of the hold display and the effect by the background are applied to the second special figure game even in the decorative display hold display corresponding to the first special figure game. It may also be executed in the corresponding decorative symbol hold display, or any one of the decorative symbol hold display corresponding to the first special symbol game and the decorative symbol hold display corresponding to the second special symbol game. You may perform in. In the mode of preferentially digesting the second special figure hold memory, it is determined whether or not the number of holds corresponding to the special figure game won this time is three or more in the process of S1 of FIG. May be. For example, when there is a first start prize, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not there are three or more first special figure reservation storage numbers stored in the RAM 122.

  Also, in the case of the mode of digesting with priority given to the second special figure holding memory, the decorative symbol holding display corresponding to the first special graphic game and the decorative symbol holding display corresponding to the second special graphic game are divided. Separately, the number of on-hold displays corresponding to the number of on-holds may be displayed in such a manner that the order of winning of each is known. For example, on the left side of the holding display area 5H (that is, the lower left side in the display area of the image display device 5), the number of holding displays corresponding to the holding number of variable display of decorative symbols corresponding to the first special game is displayed. On the right side of the hold display area 5H (that is, the lower right side in the display area of the image display device 5), the number of hold displays corresponding to the number of hold of variable display of decorative symbols corresponding to the second special game is displayed. Also good.

  In addition, the device configuration and data configuration of the gaming machine, the processing shown in the flowchart, and the image display operation in the image display device 5 can be arbitrarily changed and modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be applied to so-called enclosed game machines.
