Further, as shown in FIG. 18D, according to the fourth variation table 114d, when the variation pattern random number is 0 to 119, the variation pattern number “03H” is determined, and the variation pattern random number is 120 to 120 When it is 249, a variation pattern number "04H" is determined.

Further, as shown in FIG. 18E, according to the 30th fluctuation table 114e, when the fluctuation pattern random number is 0 to 124, the fluctuation pattern number “30H” is determined, and the fluctuation pattern random number is 125 to 125 If it is 249, a fluctuation pattern number "31H" is determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 18G, according to the 32nd fluctuation table 114g, when the fluctuation pattern random number is 0 to 199, the fluctuation pattern number “33H” is determined, and the fluctuation pattern random number is 200 to 200 When it is 249, a variation pattern number "34H" is determined.
Similarly, another variation pattern table 114 is also configured to determine a predetermined variation pattern number corresponding to a predetermined variation pattern random number (see FIG. 18).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the above-mentioned lottery of the big hit is performed at the start of the change (that is, at the start of the change display of the special symbol described later (the start of the change effect)). In addition, when the jackpot lottery is performed, the variation mode number and the number of suspension (first special view reservation number, second special view reservation number) etc. of the jackpot lottery result as a result of the jackpot lottery A variation pattern number is determined. As described above, the fluctuation mode number and the fluctuation pattern number are for determining a fluctuation effect pattern, and the fluctuation mode number and the fluctuation pattern number determine the mode and fluctuation time of the fluctuation effect. Here, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the fluctuation effect is divided into a first half and a second half. And the mode and fluctuation time of the first half part of fluctuation production are decided by fluctuation mode number, the form and fluctuation time of the second half part of fluctuation production are decided by fluctuation pattern number.

Next, determination processing of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation effect in the special figure game and control of the special game will be described.
The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is provided with a fluctuation time determination table 115, a special electric bonus game operation table 116, a game state setting table 117, etc. as a table for performing the above-mentioned determination processing and control of special games. There is.

The fluctuation time determination table 115 is for determining the fluctuation time.
The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment uses the fluctuation time determination table 115 as a first fluctuation time determination table in which the fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as the first half fluctuation time) of the first half of the fluctuation effect corresponding to each fluctuation mode number is determined. The second variation time determination table 115b is provided with a second variation time determination table 115b in which the second half of the variation effect corresponding to each variation pattern number (hereinafter referred to as the second half variation time) is defined (FIGS. b) see).
Then, when the variation mode number is determined, the corresponding first half variation time is determined based on the determined variation mode number and the first variation time determination table 115a. Also, when the variation pattern number is determined, the corresponding second half variation time is determined based on the determined variation pattern number and the second variation time determination table 115b. The total value of the first-half fluctuation time and the second-half fluctuation time determined in this way corresponds to the entire fluctuation time of the fluctuation effect for reporting the result of the jackpot lottery.
For example, when the determined fluctuation mode number is "03H" and the fluctuation pattern number is "04H", the first half fluctuation time of "13 seconds" is determined corresponding to the fluctuation mode number "03H", and fluctuation is performed. The latter half fluctuation time of "60 seconds" is determined corresponding to the pattern number "04H". Then, the total value “73 seconds (= 13 seconds + 60 seconds)” of these is the entire variation time of the variation effect.

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, when the fluctuation mode number and the fluctuation pattern number are determined, the fluctuation mode command corresponding to the determined fluctuation mode number and the determined fluctuation pattern The variation pattern command corresponding to the number is generated and transmitted to the sub control board 300. Then, in the sub control board 300, the aspect of the fluctuation effect is determined based on the received fluctuation mode command and fluctuation pattern command. Specifically, the aspect of the first half of the fluctuation effect is determined based on the fluctuation mode command, and the aspect of the second half of the fluctuation effect is determined based on the fluctuation pattern command.
In addition, about the aspect of the fluctuation production, the aspect of the first half of the fluctuation production is determined based on the fluctuation mode command, and the aspect of the second half of the fluctuation performance is not determined based on the fluctuation pattern command. The aspect of the first half of the variable performance may be determined on the basis of the variation performance, and the aspect of the second half of the fluctuation performance may be determined based on the variation mode command.
In addition, the fluctuation effect may be divided into more parts instead of being divided into the first half and the second half, and the mode of each part may be determined based on the fluctuation mode command and the fluctuation pattern command. .
In addition, the aspect of the fluctuation presentation may be determined based on not only the fluctuation mode command and the fluctuation pattern command but also other commands. Alternatively, it may be determined based on either the fluctuation mode command or the fluctuation pattern command.

  Further, based on the fluctuation time determined as described above, the fluctuation display is performed in the effect display device 21 and the special symbol display device (the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31) is special The variable display of the symbol is performed. Specifically, when the start winning opening on which the game ball enters is the first start winning opening 15, the first special symbol display device 30 blinks for the determined fluctuation time, and the game ball enters. In the case where the start-up winning opening which is shot is the second start-up winning opening 16, the second special symbol display device 31 is displayed in a blinking manner during the determined fluctuation time. Then, after the fluctuation time has elapsed, the determined special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The special electric bonus game operation table 116 is for controlling a special game to be executed when a jackpot is won, and is referred to for operating the big winning opening solenoid 18c during the execution of the special game. is there. In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b), the first operation table 116a is referred to when the special symbol X1 is determined as the special motorized combination object operation table 116. , And a second operation table 116b to be referred to when the special symbol X2 is determined.

Specifically, when the special symbol X1 is determined, as shown in FIG. 20A, the special game is executed with reference to the first operation table 116a. According to the first operation table 116a, either the large winning opening 18 is opened for 29.0 seconds or the large winning opening 18 is ended by either the condition that 10 gaming balls enter. A round game is executed 16 times. Further, during the execution of each round game, the special winning opening 18 is opened only once, and the time when the special winning opening 18 is closed between the round games (that is, the interval time) is set to 2.0 seconds.
In this special game, the player can obtain prize balls of a predetermined number of expected values.

Further, when the special symbol X2 is determined, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), the special game is executed with reference to the second operation table 116b. According to the second operation table 116b, the round game in the same manner as the first operation table 116a is executed four times. In addition, the number of times of opening and closing of the special winning opening 18 and the interval time during the execution of each round game are set to the same contents as the first operation table 116a.
In this special game, the player can obtain a prize ball having an expectation value smaller than that of the special game when the special symbol X1 is determined.

The gaming state setting table 117 is for setting the gaming state after the end of the special game when the special game is executed.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, even if either of the special symbol X1 or the special symbol X2 is determined, the game state after the end of the special game is in the high probability time short game state It is set. Further, the number of continuations of the high probability gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the high probability number) and the number of continuations of the time saving gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the number of time reductions) are both set to 100 times. That is, after the end of the special game, the high probability time short game state continues until the result of the jackpot lottery is derived 100 times. Further, when the jackpot is won during the continuation of the gaming state, the high probability number and the time reduction number are set again. Therefore, after the end of the special game, the high probability time short game state is set, and the game state changes to the normal game state when all of the results of the 100 lotterys are lost without winning the big hit during the continuation of this game state. It will be done.

  In addition, the gaming state after the end of the special game may be determined based on the type of the special symbol determined by the jackpot lottery. For example, when one of the special symbol X1 or X2 is determined, the game state after the end of the special game is set to the high probability time short game state, and the other is determined, the normal game state or The gaming state may be set by combining the low probability gaming state and the time saving gaming state.

Next, the processing relating to the common drawing game will be described.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the game ball launched by the launcher (not shown) and flowing down the game area 12 passes the gate 20, the movable piece 16b of the second start winning opening 16 is activated. A lottery of normal symbols is performed to determine whether or not the movable piece 16b is to be opened. When the win is made by the lottery of the normal symbol, the movable piece 16b is opened and the second start winning opening 16 is opened, so that the game ball can easily enter the second starting winning opening 16.
The lottery of this normal symbol is based on the hit determination random number determination table 118 stored in the main ROM 102 for determining the random number and the hit determination random number obtained when the gaming ball passes through the gate 20. Be done.

Then, when the gaming ball passes through the gate 20, the above-described hit determination random number is acquired, and the random number value is stored in the common drawing reservation storage area of the main RAM 103 with an upper limit of four. Specifically, this common view reservation storage area is configured of a total of four storage units from the first storage unit to the fourth storage unit, and is stored from the first storage unit in the order of passage of the gate 20. It has become. In addition, when the determination random number is already stored in some of the storage units, the determination random number is stored in the storage unit having the smallest number among the free storage units. Then, when the four hit determination random numbers have already been stored in the common drawing reservation storage area, even if the gaming ball passes the gate 20, the hit determination random numbers pertaining to this passage are not stored in the common drawing reservation storage area .
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, a hardware random number built in the main control board 100 is used as the hit determination random number. The hit determination random number is updated according to a predetermined rule, and the random number sequence is automatically changed each time the random number sequence makes a round, and the start value is changed each time the system is reset.
Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the number of hit determination random numbers stored in the common drawing reservation storage area (hereinafter referred to as the common drawing reservation number) is a common drawing reservation number counter (not shown in particular).

Further, if the gaming state at the time of performing the lottery of the normal symbol is the short time gaming state, the lottery of the normal symbol is selected based on the winning determination random number selected and the selected short time determination table 118b. Is done.

According to the non-time-decision determination table 118a, it is determined that the winning determination random number is 1 and the other winning determination random number (0, 2 to 65535) is determined to be lost. Therefore, the probability of winning in the non-time-decision determination table 118a is 1 / 65,536.
Further, according to the time saving determination table 118b, it is determined that the winning determination random number is 1 to 65000, and is determined to be losing if it is any other winning determination random number (0, 65001 to 65535). Therefore, the probability of winning in the short judgment table 118b at this time is 65000/65536, that is, about 99/100.
In addition, a hit symbol is determined when it becomes a hit by lottery of a normal symbol, and a lost symbol is determined when it becomes a loss.

Specifically, when the gaming state is the non-time-short gaming state, as shown in FIG. 24, the start winning opening solenoid 16c is energized for 0.2 seconds (= 0.2 seconds × 1 time), so The movable piece 16b of the 2 start winning opening 16 is opened for 0.2 seconds. When the gaming state is the short time gaming state, as shown in FIG. 16, the start winning opening solenoid 16c is energized for 2.4 seconds (= 1.2 seconds × 2 times), so the second starting winning opening is The 16 movable pieces 16b are opened for a total of 2.4 seconds.

  As described above, conditions for opening and closing the second start winning opening 16 are defined for the non-time saving gaming state and the time saving gaming state, respectively, and according to the contents of this condition, in the time saving gaming state It is easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 16 than the short time game state. That is, in the time saving game state, as long as the game ball passes through the gate 20, the lottery of the normal symbol is performed one after another, and the second start winning opening 16 is frequently opened. It is possible to win a jackpot lottery opportunity while suppressing the decrease in

At step 1508, the main CPU 101 confirms whether the current gaming state is set to the non-time-short gaming state or the time-short gaming state, and refers to the normal symbol variation pattern determination table 119 to determine the current gaming state. Set the fluctuation time of the normal symbol according to the general drawing fluctuation time timer counter. Specifically, the main CPU 101 sets “3 seconds” to the spread map fluctuation time counter when the gaming state at the current time is the non-short play game state, and moves the spread map when it is the time reduction game state. Set "0.6 seconds" to the time counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1509.
At step 1509, the main CPU 101 sets variation display data for starting variation display of a normal symbol. Thereby, the normal symbol display device 32 starts blinking display. Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the winning determination random number is stored in the common drawing reservation storage area, the normal symbol holding display device 33 is displayed in a mode that can recognize the common drawing reservation number. It has become. Then, when the variation display of the normal symbol is performed, at the same time as the start of the variation display, the normal symbol suspension display device 33 is subjected to display control so as to indicate that the number of common drawing reservations is decreased. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1510.

At step 1510, the main CPU 101 stores the current gaming state in the gaming state buffer as the gaming state at the start of fluctuation. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1511.
At step 1511, the main CPU 101 sets “11” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol variation stop processing is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the normal symbol variation start process is ended.

Next, the normal symbol fluctuation stop processing in step 1402 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
At step 1600, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "11" indicating execution of a normal symbol variation stop process. Then, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "11", the normal symbol variation stop process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is “11”, the process proceeds to the next step 1601.
In step 1601, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the variation time of the normal symbol set in the common drawing variation time timer counter in step 1508 described above has elapsed. When it is determined that the fluctuation time has not elapsed, the normal symbol fluctuation stop process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluctuation time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1602.

At step 1602, the main CPU 101 sets stop display data for stopping the normal symbol display on the normal symbol display device 32, and executes the normal symbol stop display. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1603.
At step 1603, the main CPU 101 sets a common drawing stop display time for stopping and displaying a normal symbol in the common drawing stop display time timer counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1604.

  At step 1604, the main CPU 101 sets “12” to the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol stop post process is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the normal symbol variation stop process is ended.

Next, the normal symbol stop post-processing in step 1403 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
At step 1700, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "12" indicating execution of a normal symbol stop post process. Then, if it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "12", the normal symbol stop post-processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is "12", the process proceeds to the next step 1701.
At step 1701, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing stop display time set in the common drawing stop display time timer counter at step 1603 described above has elapsed. Then, when it is determined that the common view stop display time has not elapsed, the normal symbol stop post-processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the general drawing stop display time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1702.

At step 1702, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the normal symbol stopped and displayed is a hit symbol. Then, when it is determined that the normal symbol being stopped and displayed is not a hit symbol (that is, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 1704. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal symbol stopped and displayed is a hit symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 1703.
In step 1703, the main CPU 101 sets “13” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the movable piece control processing is executed in the common drawing related control processing. And normal pattern stop post-processing ends.

  In addition, in step 1704 which proceeds when it is determined that the normal symbol stopped and displayed in step 1702 described above is not a hit symbol, the main CPU 101 executes the normal symbol variation start process in the ordinary drawing related control process, Set "10" to the common drawing execution phase data. And normal pattern stop post-processing ends.

Next, the movable piece control process of step 1404 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At step 1800, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "13" indicating execution of the movable piece control process. When it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "13", the movable piece control process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is "13", the process proceeds to the next step 1801.
At step 1801, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the movable piece 16 b is in operation control, that is, whether or not the start winning hole solenoid 16 c is energized. If it is determined that the movable piece 16b is in operation control, the process proceeds to step 1804. On the other hand, when it is determined that the movable piece 16b is not in operation control, the process proceeds to the next step 1802.

In step 1802, the main CPU 101 confirms whether the gaming state at the start of variation of the normal symbol is either the non-time-short game state or the time-short game state. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1803.
In step 1803, the main CPU 101 refers to the second start winning opening open control table 120, and according to the gaming state confirmed in step 1802 described above, performs energization as energization control data (open data) of the start winning opening solenoid 16c. Set the number of times (opening number) and energization time (opening time). Then, the movable piece control process ends.

Further, in step 1804, which is performed when it is determined in step 1801 that the movable piece 16b is under operation control, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the energization time (opening time) set in step 1803 described above has elapsed. Determine Then, when it is determined that the current application time (opening time) has not elapsed, the movable piece control process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the energization time (opening time) has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1805.
At step 1805, the main CPU 101 executes the stop of the operation of the movable piece 16b, that is, the stop of the energization of the start winning hole solenoid 16c. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1806.

  At step 1806, the main CPU 101 sets “10” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol variation start process is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the movable piece control process ends.

However, in the above selection screen, As for the display mode of the main character, although display modes which can be selected according to the game level of the selected main character are displayed, BGM which can be selected according to the highest game level is selected for BGM in the special game. It is supposed to be displayed. That is, on the selection screen described above, although the display mode of the main character can select only the display mode that can be selected at the game level of the selected main character, the BGM in the special game is at the game level of the main character. Not only selectable BGM but also selectable BGM at the highest game level.
For example, when the idle game level is "5", the princess game level is "2", and the waitless game level is "8", the maximum game level is "8". And in this case, it is assumed that idol is selected as the main character. Then, as the display mode, a display mode of an idle that can be selected when the game level has reached "5" is displayed, and one of the display modes can be selected. On the other hand, with regard to BGM in the special game, not only BGM that can be selected when the game level has reached "5", but the game level has reached "8" (that is, the highest game level). At the time, the selectable BGM is displayed, and one of the BGMs can be selected.

(Summary of fluctuation production)
The variation effect executed by the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is a reach indication variation in which reach display by the effect pattern 50 (display in which the two effect symbols 50 stop-displayed first become the same symbol (aspect)) is not made It is divided roughly into a pattern and the reach change pattern in which the reach display by the production | presentation pattern 50 is made.
In this variation effect, variation display of the effect pattern 50 (dummy symbol) is performed on the background image displayed on the effect display device 21. Then, the player is notified of the result of the jackpot lottery by the combination (stop display mode) of the effect symbols 50 stopped and displayed after being variably displayed.

Specifically, with the start of the variation display of the special symbol, the variation display of all the presentation symbols 50 is started from the state in which all the presentation symbols 50 are stopped and displayed (FIGS. 44 (a) and (b), See FIG. 45 (a) and (b) etc.). The downward arrow in the figure indicates that the effect pattern 50 is displayed to scroll downward from above.
After that, the effect symbol 50 (hereinafter referred to as the first stop symbol) located on the left side, the effect symbol 50 located on the right side (hereinafter referred to as the second stop symbol), the effect symbol 50 located in the center (hereinafter the third stop symbol The stop display is made in the order of) (see (c) to (e), and (c) to (e) in Fig. 45), but in the no reach variation pattern, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are In the reach variation pattern, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are stopped and displayed in the same symbol (see FIG. 45 (d)).

Then, when the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, all the production symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with the same symbol (see FIG. 45 (e)). That is, by displaying stopped all the production symbols 50 with the same symbol, it is informed that the result of the jackpot lottery is the jackpot.
On the other hand, when the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, all of the effect design symbols 50 are not stopped and displayed with the same symbol (see FIG. 44 (e)). That is, when at least one of the rendering symbols 50 is stopped and displayed with a symbol different from that of the other rendering symbols 50, it is notified that the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss.

  In addition, the third stop symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31 at a stop substantially simultaneously with the stop display of the special symbol. As a result, prior to the stop display of the effect pattern 50, the special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31, and the result of the jackpot lottery is grasped by the type of the special symbol To prevent it from

Moreover, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, normal reach, special reach A, special reach B and special reach C are provided as reach variation patterns.
The normal reach is a reach variation pattern in which the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are simply stopped and displayed with the same symbol without any particular change in the way of variation or the display content of the effect symbol 50 (see FIG. 45). ).

In addition, special reach A, special reach B and special reach C are all the production design pattern 5
The effect of the aspect of resuming the variable display after the temporary stop in 0 (that is, the first stop symbol, the second stop symbol, the third stop symbol) in the predetermined stop display mode is performed a predetermined number of times, and thereafter the reach display Reach fluctuation pattern (so-called pseudo ream) that is performed (see FIG. 46). Specifically, the special reach A performs an effect of resuming the variable display once after temporary stop, and the special reach B performs an effect of the aspect twice. C is to perform the effect of the aspect three times.
In addition, a reach change pattern is not limited to these, The method of change, the display content of the production | presentation pattern 50, etc. can be set variously.
Further, as described later, when the special reach C is executed when the game using the gaming system S is being performed (that is, when the predetermined start operation is performed and the game is being performed), A point giving effect in which predetermined points are given is performed.

Furthermore, when the reach display is made according to the above-mentioned reach fluctuation pattern, thereafter, a predetermined development effect image (for example, a moving image etc. such as the effect pattern 50 being destroyed one after another) on the display unit 21a of the effect display device 21 In some cases, a reach development effect may be executed (see FIG. 47 (e)).
It is to be noted that such reach development effect is set to have a high possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won, and therefore, the player's sense of expectation is enhanced.

Further, in these effects, in addition to the image display, in addition to the image display, a predetermined BGM or sound may be output from the audio output device 10 (speaker), and the effect illumination device 23 (lamp ) May be emitted in a predetermined lighting pattern or color.
In addition, another image may be displayed by operating the effect operating device 9 (the operation dial 9a, the operation button 9b) within a predetermined period during display of the development effect image.
In addition, in pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when reach display is performed, until fluctuation display of effect pattern 50 is started and until presence or absence of reach display is notified (that is, the second stop symbol is stopped or Until the predetermined moving image on which the reach display is made is displayed) corresponds to the first half of the fluctuation effect, and until the third stop symbol is stopped and displayed after the presence or absence of the reach display is notified (that is, Until the variation of the effect pattern 50 ends) corresponds to the second half of the variation effect.

(Summary of notice production)
In addition, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, in order to increase the player's sense of expectation, during the fluctuation production, an image such as a moving image or a still image different from the production design 50 by overlapping the variable display of the production design 50 By displaying the (cut-in image), it is possible to execute an advance notice effect that indicates the degree of expectation for the jackpot winning.

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the notice effect A, the notice effect B and the notice effect C are provided as modes of notice effect, and these are the contents of the image displayed superimposed on the fluctuation display of the effect pattern 50 Are different from each other.
Specifically, the notice effect A is such that a cut-in image with the characters “CHANCE!” Is displayed superimposed on the variable display of the effect pattern 50 (see FIG. 48 (c)). Further, although not particularly illustrated, the notice effect B is a cut-in image on which the word "hot!" Is superimposed on the variable display of the effect pattern 50. In addition, although not particularly shown, the notice effect C is a cut-in image on which the word “excessive heat!” Is added to the variable display of the effect pattern 50.
In addition, the aspect of a preliminary presentation effect is not limited to these, You may provide the aspect etc. by which another character and a character are displayed as a cut-in image.

The above-described advance notice effect is set to have a high possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won, and therefore, the expectation of the player is enhanced.
In addition, regarding these preview presentation effects, the level of the possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won is separately set. That is, the expectation of winning of the jackpot is set to be different for each mode of the preview effect. By doing this, it is possible to change the player's expectation for the jackpot win according to the pattern of the notice effect to be executed.
Further, as described later, when the game using the game system S is being performed, when the advance effect B or the advance effect C is executed, a point application effect in which predetermined points are applied is executed. It has become so.

Specifically, as described above, the sub RAM 303 is provided with a storage area for storing the accumulated points. Then, each time a point is awarded, the sub CPU 301 adds a newly granted point to the points stored in the above-mentioned storage area. Thereby, the granted points are accumulated in the above-mentioned storage area.

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the point giving presentation to which points are given triggered by the execution of the fluctuation presentation in a predetermined mode (special reach C) or the announcement presentation in a predetermined mode (announcement presentation B1, announcement presentation B2) However, the trigger for the execution of the point giving effect is not limited to these. For example, a point imparting effect may be given in response to the reach development effect in a predetermined mode or the execution of a so-called pre-reading effect.
Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the point provision effect is performed triggered by the execution of a predetermined effect, but the trigger of the point provision effect is not limited to this. For example, the point provision effect may be performed based on the result of the game (when the number of times of big hit, the number of times of change has reached a predetermined number, etc.).

(Overview of selectable display modes and additional BGM)
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, as the game level of the main character selected by the player increases, the display mode of the main character that can be selected and the BGM in the special game increase. It is supposed to
Note that the display mode of the main character and the BGM during the special game may be set to increase based on the satisfaction of the predetermined additional condition. For example, the number of wins of the big hit, the number of wins of the big hit, the number of losses, the number of consecutive wins of the big hit during high probability time short game state, the number of executions of effects in a predetermined mode, the number of pressing operations of the ball lending button 36, etc. It may be made to increase based on reaching the value etc. (ie, achievement of the content defined for the game result, the operation content by the player, etc.). In addition, winning a big hit within a predetermined period (for example, after the end of the special game and until 10 lots of winning lots are drawn), that a plurality of predetermined effects are executed, etc. It may be increased on the basis of (that is, the achievement of a predetermined mission). In addition, a lottery may be performed to determine whether to increase the display mode and the BGM when the above-described conditions are satisfied, and the number may be increased if it is determined in this lottery.

As shown in FIG. 52, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 determines whether or not the game level of the main character is increased when points are given to the selected main character. A game level determination table 124 is stored.
In the game level determination table 124, as shown in FIG. 52, the game level of the main character is determined in association with the numerical value range of points.

Further, as shown in FIG. 53, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 stores an additional display mode table 125 which defines selectable display modes to be added according to the reached game level. As shown in FIG. 54, an additional BGM table 126 defining BGM to be added is stored according to the game level reached.
In the additional display mode table 125, as shown in FIG. 53, a display mode to be added is defined in association with the game level, and in the additional BGM table 126, as shown in FIG. The BGM to be added is defined in association with the game level.
Then, when the game level is increased, it is determined based on the additional display mode table 125 and the additional BGM table 126 whether or not the game level has reached a predetermined value, and the predetermined value is reached. In such a case, the display mode of the selectable main character and the BGM in the special game are increased (added).

  For example, when the points of the main character accumulated in the storage area described above are 150 points, the game level of the main character at the present time is “2” because it belongs to the numerical range of 51 to 150. In this case, for example, when the notice effect B is executed and 50 points are given to the main character, the points of the main character accumulated in the above-mentioned storage area become 200 points and belong to the numerical range of 151 to 300 Therefore, the game level of the main character is increased from “2” to “3”. Then, according to the additional display mode table 125 and the additional BGM table 126, when the game level has reached "3", the display mode and the BGM addition are not determined (see FIGS. 53 and 54), so the selection is made. The display mode and BGM of possible main characters do not increase.

  Also, for example, when the main character point stored in the above-mentioned storage area is 450 points, it belongs to the numerical range of 301 to 500, so the gaming level of the main character at the current time is "4" . In this case, for example, when the notice effect C is executed and 160 points are given to the main character, the points of the main character accumulated in the above-mentioned storage area become 610 points and belong to the numerical range of 501 to 750. Therefore, the game level of the main character is increased from “4” to “5”. Then, according to the additional display mode table 125 and the additional BGM table 126, when the game level reaches "5", "type B" is defined as the display mode to be added, and BGM to be added Since "BGM2" is defined (see FIGS. 53 and 54), "Type B" is added as the display mode of the selectable main character, and "BGM2" is added as the BGM in the selectable special game. The Rukoto. That is, the display mode and BGM of the selectable main character increase.

Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the game level reaches "8", "type C" is added as a selectable display mode, and "BGM 3" is added as a selectable BGM. .
Here, when the idol is selected as the main character, and the gaming level of this main character is "5", but the gaming level of the non-selected princess is "8", the highest gaming level is It will be "8". Then, since the display mode of the main character selectable in the pachinko machine P is determined according to the game level of the main character, “type A” (not particularly shown) selectable from the initial state and the main It becomes "Type B" that is added when the character's game level reaches "5". On the other hand, BGM during special game selectable in pachinko machine P is determined not according to the main character's game level but according to the highest game level, so “BGM 1” (especially in the figure) can be selected from the initial state Not shown), "BGM 2" added when the game level reaches "5", and "BGM 3" added when the game level reaches "8".

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the gaming level to which the selectable display mode is added and the gaming level to which the selectable BGM is added are both set to the same value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be set to different values.
In addition, the game level to which the selectable display mode is to be added may be set separately for each of the selected effect characters.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the BGM in the special game is the game level of the highest value among the game levels of all the effect characters, regardless of the game level of the main character set. It is possible to select from BGMs that can be selected according to (the highest game level). Therefore, even when the main character is changed from a high-playing-effect character to a low-playing-effect character, it is possible to select at a high game level instead of BGM that can be selected at a low game level. It is possible to select any BGM from among the BGMs that Thereby, regardless of the level of the game level, it is possible to give the player a motivation to play a game using the gaming system S, with various effect characters as main characters, and, consequently, the operation of the pachinko machine P It can be enhanced.
