The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of probability states as gaming states having different probability of winning a big hit (hereinafter, referred to as a big hit probability) in the internal lottery (big hit lottery). The plurality of probability states include a low probability state and a high probability state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the low probability state. In the high probability state, the possibility of winning the big hit lottery is higher than that in the low probability state, so that the gaming state is advantageous to the player. The high probability state is a so-called probability variation state (probability variation state).

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of base states as game states having different bases (ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls fired). The plurality of base states include a low base state and a high base state in which the base is higher than the low base state. In the present embodiment, the high base state is a “entry rate improved state” in which the probability that a game ball enters the second start winning opening 16 is higher than the low base state. This is an “entry easy state” in which it is easy to enter a game ball into the. That is, the high base state is a so-called electric support state.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by executing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol variation time shortening control in which the variation time of the normal game is shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is probability variation control of a normal symbol in which the probability of winning a normal symbol winning lottery (hereinafter referred to as a normal symbol probability) is varied with a higher probability than in the low base state.

  The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the normally variable member 17 in one normal hit game is longer than that in the low base state. As the opening time extension control, the number of times of opening of the normally variable member 17 in one normal hit game is increased more than that in the low base state, and the normal variable member 17 is released once in the normal hit game. At least one of the controls for making the time longer than that in the low base state may be performed.

  Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control in which the average variation time of the special game is shorter than that in the low base state. When executing the special symbol variation time reduction control, the high base state is a so-called variation time reduction state. Here, the average variation time of the special game can be obtained by dividing the accumulated time of the variation time in the unit number of variation games by the unit number of times, assuming that the unit number of special games has been executed.

In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by variably displaying (scrolling) the effect symbols in the first, second, and third columns in predetermined directions.

  The production game is executed in association with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game, and is ended with the end of the special game. In the effect game, an effect symbol combination corresponding to the special symbol derived in the special game is derived. In the special game, when the jackpot symbol is derived, in the effect game, the jackpot symbol combination is derived. For example, the jackpot effect symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the effect symbols in all rows are the same, such as “777”.

  Further, in the special game, when an outlier symbol is derived, an outlier effect symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, the off-stage effect symbol combination is an effect symbol combination in which at least a part of the effect symbols is different from the effect symbol of the other columns, such as “778” and “787”. In the effect game, the effect symbol may be temporarily stopped before being confirmed and stopped. In this specification, “temporary stop display” is a temporary stop state before the effect symbol is confirmed and stopped, such as a fluctuation display. In the following description, when the special game and the effect game executed in relation to the special game are not distinguished, these are collectively referred to as “variable game”.

  In the effect game, a reach effect performed by forming a reach may be executed. In the reach, the same effect design is temporarily stopped and displayed in a specific column (the first and third columns in the present embodiment) among a plurality of columns, and the column is different from the specific column (the second column in the present embodiment). ) Is a state in which the effect design is continuously displayed in a variable manner. For example, in the reach effect, there may be a plurality of types of reach effects in which characters appearing and operations of effect symbols are different.

Next, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.
The main control CPU 30a executes a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, and the like as an interrupt process performed every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms). In the present embodiment, the control command set in the output buffer is output to the sub control board 31 in the command output process executed as the interrupt process.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 15 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start winning sensor SE1. (Step S101). When a game ball enters the first start winning opening 15 (step S101: YES), the main control CPU 30a has the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 30c less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). It is determined whether or not (step S102).

  When the first special hold number is less than the upper limit number (step S102: YES), the main control CPU 30a updates the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c by adding 1 (step S103). In the process of step S103, the main control CPU 30a controls the first special hold display unit 13c so as to display information capable of recognizing the updated first special hold number. As described above, the hold condition for the first special game is satisfied when the game ball is detected by the first start winning sensor SE1 in a state where the first special hold number is less than the upper limit number. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a hold number command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c (step S104). For example, the random number is a jackpot determination random number used for jackpot determination, a symbol determination random number used for determination of a jackpot symbol, a variation pattern determination random number used for determination of a variation pattern, or the like. In the process of step S104, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the random number information is for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself or information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. In the present embodiment, random number information used for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied.

  When no game ball has entered the first start winning opening 15 (step S101: NO), when the first special reservation number is not less than the upper limit number (step S102: NO), and the processing of step S104 is terminated. If so, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S105. In the process of step S105, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 16 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start winning sensor SE2. When a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 16 (step S105: YES), the main control CPU 30a determines that the second special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 30c is the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). ) Is determined (step S106).

  When the second special reservation number is less than the upper limit number (step S106: YES), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the second special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 30c and updates it (step S107). In the process of step S107, the main control CPU 30a controls the second special hold display unit 13d so as to display information capable of recognizing the updated second special hold number. The holding condition for the second special game is satisfied when a game ball is detected by the second start winning sensor SE2 in a state where the second special holding number is less than the upper limit number. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a hold number command that can specify the updated second special hold number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c (step S108). For example, the random number is a jackpot determination random number used for jackpot determination, a symbol determination random number used for determination of a jackpot symbol, a variation pattern determination random number used for determination of a variation pattern, or the like. In the process of step S108, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that it is the random number information used in the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 30c, the execution can be suspended until the execution condition for the second special game is satisfied.

  When a game ball has not entered the second start winning opening 16 (step S105: NO), when the second special reservation number is not less than the upper limit number (step S106: NO), and the processing of step S108 is completed. In this case, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a special game execution condition is satisfied (step S201). The main control CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination when the jackpot game is not being played and the special game is not being played, while the negative control is made when the jackpot game or the special game is being played. When the execution conditions for the special game are not satisfied (step S201: NO), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the special game is established, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c is larger than 0 (step S203). When the second special hold number is larger than 0 (step S202: YES), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S209 and starts the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special reservation number is 0 (step S202: NO), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 30c is greater than zero ( Step S203). When the first special hold number is larger than 0 (step S203: YES), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S204 and starts the first special game. In this way, the main control CPU 30a preferentially executes the second special game without simultaneously executing the first special game and the second special game. In addition, when both the 1st special reservation number and the 2nd special reservation number are 0 (step S202, S203: NO), main control CPU30a complete | finishes a special symbol start process.

  When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 30a updates the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c by subtracting 1 (step S204). The main control CPU 30a controls the first special hold display unit 13c so as to display information capable of recognizing the updated first special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a hold number command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number information stored first among the random information for the first special game from the main control RAM 30c (step S205). Then, the main control CPU 30a uses the jackpot determination random number specified from the acquired random number information to determine whether or not it is a big hit (step S206). For example, the jackpot determination may be performed based on whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value. For example, the jackpot determination may be determined based on whether or not a value obtained by adding the value of the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  When it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot (step S206: YES), the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot variation process (step S207). In the big hit variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit symbol of the special symbol using the symbol determination random number that can be specified from the random number information. The main control CPU 30a performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern determination random number that can be specified from the random number information, and determines a jackpot variation pattern.

  When it is not determined that a big hit is made in the big hit determination (step S206: NO), the main control CPU 30a performs a deviation fluctuation process (step S208). In the deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol loss symbol. The main control CPU 30a performs a variation pattern determination lottery using a variation pattern determination random number that can be specified from random number information, and determines a variation variation pattern with or without reach.

  When starting a 2nd special game, main control CPU30a performs the process similar to starting a 1st special game in step S209-S213 for 2nd special game. That is, the main control CPU 30a subtracts the second special hold number and sets the hold number command (step S209), determines the big hit (step S211), and performs any variation processing (step S212, S213).

  Main control CPU30a will complete | finish a special symbol start process, if the big hit fluctuation process or the deviation fluctuation process is complete | finished. The main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as a special symbol command) that can specify the determined special symbol in the output buffer in the big hit variation process and the loss variation process. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as a special start command) that can specify the start of the special game and the determined variation pattern in the output buffer. The special start command includes a special start command for the first special game and a special start command for the second special game.

  When the special symbol start process ends, the main control CPU 30a executes a special game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the special symbol display units 13a and 13b so as to start a special game by starting a variable display of a predetermined symbol. The main control CPU 30a measures the variation time set in the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. The main control CPU 30a controls the special symbol display units 13a and 13b so as to derive the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process when the variation time set in the variation pattern has elapsed. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter referred to as a game end command) that can specify the end of the special game when the change time set in the change pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed. To do.

Next, the jackpot game process will be described.
The jackpot game process is a process for giving a jackpot game after the end of the jackpot special game. In the jackpot game process, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game to be given based on the jackpot symbol (ie, jackpot type) determined in the special symbol start process. And main control CPU30a performs the process which provides the specified jackpot game.

  First, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as an opening command) that can specify the start of the opening time in the output buffer. When the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a performs a process for causing the round game to be executed. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the special solenoid MS2 using the specified jackpot game opening pattern data (opening control data) to open the big winning opening 18. When the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied during execution of the round game, the main control CPU 30a controls the special solenoid MS2 so as to close the special winning opening 18, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 30a repeatedly performs the process for executing such a round game until the upper limit number of round games determined for the big hit game is completed. Further, every time a round game is started, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as a round command) that can specify the start of the round game in the output buffer. When the final round game ends, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time in the output buffer. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the jackpot game.

Next, game state processing will be described.
The game state process is a process for controlling the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state to a low probability and low base state during the big hit game. When the big hit game is finished, the main control CPU 30a specifies the gaming state after the big hit game based on the big hit symbol (that is, the type of the big hit) determined in the special symbol start process.

  When the main control CPU 30a is a jackpot symbol that determines the provision of the high base state, the main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game to the high base state, while it is the jackpot symbol that determines the provision of the low base state The game state after the end of the big hit game is controlled to the low base state. The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state to the low base state when the number of the changing games ends when the number of the variable games that can be controlled to the high base state is determined.

  When the main control CPU 30a is a jackpot symbol that determines the provision of a high probability state, the main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game to a high probability state, whereas the main control CPU 30a is a jackpot symbol that determines the provision of a low probability state The game state after the end of the big hit game is controlled to a low probability state. For example, when the main control CPU 30a is a jackpot symbol that determines the number of variable games that can be controlled to a high probability state, the main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state to a low probability state when the number of variable games ends.

First, the normal symbol input process will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has passed through the gate 20 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball passes through the gate 20, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of normal holdings is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment).

  When the number of normal holdings is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a updates the normal holding number by adding 1. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal hold display unit 13f so as to display information capable of recognizing the updated number of normal holds. The holding condition for the normal game is satisfied when a game ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4 in a state where the normal holding number is less than the upper limit number.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c. For example, the random number is a normal hit determination random number used for the normal hit determination. The main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the random number information is for a normal game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information used for the normal game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied.

  When the game ball does not pass through the gate 20, when the number of normal holdings is not less than the upper limit number, and when random number information for a normal game is stored, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a normal game execution condition is satisfied. The main control CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination when the normal hit game is not being played and the normal game is not being executed, while a negative determination is made when the normal hit game is being played or the normal game is being played. When the normal game execution condition is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is established, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of normal holds stored in the main control RAM 30c is greater than zero. When the number of normal hold is 0, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal holding number is larger than 0, the main control CPU 30a starts the normal game.

  When starting the normal game, the main control CPU 30a updates the normal hold number by subtracting one. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal hold display unit 13f so as to display information capable of recognizing the updated number of normal holds. The main control CPU 30a acquires, from the main control RAM 30c, random number information stored first among random number information used for the normal game.

  The main control CPU 30a uses the normal hit determination random number specified from the acquired random number information to make a normal hit determination as to whether or not it is normal hit. When it is determined that the normal hit is determined in the normal hit determination, the main control CPU 30a determines the normal hit symbol by lottery using a random number that can be specified from the random number information. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the normal hit is made in the normal hit determination, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal deviation symbol. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation time of the normal game by lottery using random numbers that can be specified from the random number information. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as a normal start command) that can specify the start of the normal game in the output buffer.

  When the normal symbol start process ends, the main control CPU 30a executes a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal symbol display unit 13e so as to start a normal game by starting a variable display of a predetermined symbol. The main control CPU 30a measures the variation time determined in the normal symbol start process. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal symbol display unit 13e so as to derive the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start process elapses.

Next, the normal hit game process will be described.
The normal hit game process is a process for giving a normal hit game after the end of the normal hit normal game. In the normal hit game process, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of the normal hit game based on the normal hit symbol (that is, the normal hit type) determined in the normal symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal solenoid MS1 using the specified normal hit game opening pattern data (opening control data) to open the second start winning opening 16.

Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a will be described.
First, the big hit effect process will be described.
The jackpot effect process is a process for executing an effect during the jackpot game (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot effect). When the opening control command is input, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so as to execute the opening effect. When the sub control CPU 31a inputs a round command, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so as to execute the round effect. When the ending command is input, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so as to execute the ending effect. Note that the jackpot effect may include at least one of a sound effect, a light emission effect, and a movable object effect in addition to or instead of the display effect.

  The sub-control CPU 31a, as one of the big hit effects, is an image that imitates a character string such as information that can recognize the number of payout balls (the number of prize balls) Ea in the current big hit game (for example, “Get XX ball!”). The effect display device EH is controlled so as to be displayed. In the following description, the effect of displaying information that can specify the payout ball number Ea may be referred to as “payout ball number display effect”. The number of payout balls Ea is stored in the sub-control RAM 31c, and the total number of winning balls paid out to the player in accordance with winning in the big winning opening 18 from the start to the end of the big hit game. Is numerical data that can be specified. For example, the unit is “pieces”.

  When the sub control CPU 31a inputs the fourth passage designation command, the payout ball number Ea is updated by adding 15 corresponding to the number of prize balls set in the special winning opening 18. And sub-control CPU31a controls the effect display apparatus EH so that the information which can recognize the payout ball | bowl number Ea after an update is displayed. When the initialization condition for inputting the opening command is satisfied, the sub control CPU 31a initializes the payout ball number Ea.

  It should be noted that the initialization condition for the payout ball number Ea may be defined as the transition to the low base state triggered by the fact that the number of executions of the variable game after the end of the big hit game has reached a predetermined number. In this case, the sub-control CPU 31a may control the effect display device EH so as to continuously display information capable of recognizing the payout ball number Ea until shifting to the low base state. According to this, the paid-out ball number Ea is the number of prize balls that have been paid out to the player during the so-called continuous change. In addition, the number Ea of payout balls may include the number of prize balls that have been paid out to the player as a result of winning the winning openings 15, 16, and 21. In this case, when the first to third passage designation commands are input, the sub control CPU 31a may update the payout ball number Ea by adding the number of prize balls determined for the winning opening corresponding to the inputted passage designation command.

Next, the effect game process will be described.
The effect game process is a process for causing the effect game related to the special game to be executed during the execution of the special game. In the effect game process, when the sub control CPU 31a inputs the special start command, the sub control CPU 31a specifies the effect contents of the effect game based on the variation pattern that can be specified from the special start command.

  Further, when the special control command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the effect symbol combination to be derived in the effect game based on the special symbol that can be specified from the special symbol command. When the sub-control CPU 31a can identify the special symbol jackpot symbol, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the jackpot effect symbol combination. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the combination of the effect symbols that are out of order when the special symbol can be identified as the out-of-design symbol.

  Here, the sub-control CPU 31a establishes a reach effect execution condition, and when executing the reach effect in the current effect game, determines a combination of effect symbols including reach. For example, as the reach condition, it may be determined that a deviation variation pattern with reach is specified, or a predetermined reach effect lottery may be performed, and it may be determined that the reach effect lottery has been won. The sub-control CPU 31a determines an outlier design combination that does not include reach when the reach effect execution condition is not satisfied and the reach effect is not executed in the current effect game.

  When the sub control CPU 31a inputs a special start command, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so as to start the variable display of the effect symbols in each column. That is, the sub control CPU 31a starts the effect game. The sub-control CPU 31a, when a predetermined timing comes after starting the production game, temporarily displays the decided production symbol combination, and finally displays the production symbol combination when the game end command is input. The sub-control CPU 31a may cause the effect symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped when the change time set in the change pattern elapses regardless of the game end command. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

Next, the button effect process will be described.
The button effect process is a process for executing a button effect.
The sub-control CPU 31a determines whether or not a button effect execution condition is satisfied.

As described above, it can be said that the sub-control CPU 31a obtains basic data and generates various game data related to the game based on the basic data. Therefore, in this embodiment, the function as a production | generation means which produces | generates game data is implement | achieved by sub control CPU31a.

  In the present embodiment, the payout rates P10a to P10d as game data are based on basic data based on detection results by the winning sensors SE1 to SE3 and SE5 and basic data based on detection results by the out ball sensor SE6. It corresponds to the game data generated by In the present embodiment, the number of payout balls P6, P8, the proportions P7, P9, and the payout ratios P10a to P10d are the numbers detected by the predetermined winning sensors SE1 to SE3 and SE5 and the predetermined winning sensors SE1 to SE3. This corresponds to game data generated based on the basic data generated by multiplying the number of SE5 prize balls.

  The number of driving times P23a to P23c, P24a to P24c, and P25a to P25d as game data corresponds to game data generated based on basic data regarding the operation of the movable body. The vibration times P21 and P22 as game data correspond to game data generated based on the basic data regarding the operation of the operation means for effects.

Next, data display processing will be described.
In the data display process, all of the first type basic data (Da to Du) and second type basic data (DE1 to DE12) acquired as described above, or a part of arbitrarily selected basic data, This is a process for displaying on the effect display device EH. In addition, the data display process includes the first type game data (P1 to P11) and the second type game data (P21 to P25) generated as described above, or a part of the game data selected arbitrarily. Is a process for displaying in the effect display device EH. In the following description, data to be displayed in the data display process may be simply referred to as “display target data”.

  In the data display process, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether display target data is being displayed. When the display target data is not being displayed, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether or not a predetermined display start condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the display start condition is determined to be that an operation signal is input from the effect button BT when the sub-control board 31 is activated as the power is turned on. The display start condition is not limited to this, and the effect button BT may be operated in a predetermined manner, or part or all of the display target data may be updated. In addition, the display start condition may be that a predetermined time has elapsed without a special game being newly executed after the big hit game or the special game is ended.

  If the predetermined display start condition is not satisfied, the sub-control CPU 31a ends the data display process without displaying the display target data on the effect display device EH. Therefore, in the effect display device EH of the present embodiment, when the display start condition is not satisfied, part or all of the game data display based on the control signal output by the main control board 30 (main control CPU 30a) is performed. It has come to be restricted. In the present embodiment, the effect display device EH corresponds to a predetermined display means. The display start condition corresponds to a predetermined display condition.

  On the other hand, when the display start condition is satisfied, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so as to start displaying the display target data. Specifically, the sub control CPU 31a outputs a start designation command that can specify the display start of the display target data to the control unit of the effect display device EH. Further, the sub control CPU 31a performs a data specifying command that can specify the type of display target data and a numerical specifying command that can specify the numerical data of the display target data for each display target data. Output to. In the present embodiment, the data designation command and the numeric designation command correspond to control signals related to game data or basic data. Therefore, the sub control board 31 (sub control CPU 31a) also functions as an output unit that outputs a control signal. Note that the data designation command and the numerical value designation command may be configured as a single command.

  Here, when the start specifying command is input, the control unit of the effect display device EH can recognize the data information that can recognize the display target data that can be specified from the data specifying command and the numerical data that can be specified from the numerical specifying command. The image display unit of the effect display device EH is controlled so that the numerical information can be recognized in association with each other. For example, when the control unit of the effect display device EH specifies that the display target data is “actual object ratio P7” and the numerical data is “40”, the character string “actual object ratio P7 = 40%”. The image display unit of the effect display device EH is controlled so as to display an image that simulates the above. For example, when the control unit of the effect display device EH specifies that the display target data is “difference ball number Dc7” and the numerical data is “2400”, “difference ball number Dc7 = 2,400”. The image display unit of the effect display device EH is controlled so as to display an image imitating a character string.

  When displaying the display target data, the sub-control CPU 31a may control to display all the display target data on one screen of the effect display device EH, and the display target data is divided into a plurality of screens. You may control to display. When the sub-control CPU 31a displays the display target data by dividing it into a plurality of screens, when an operation signal is input from the effect button BT or the effect lever LE, a predetermined control command is output and the display screen (display target data) is switched. It is good to let them.

  When the display target data is being displayed, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether or not a predetermined display end condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the display end condition is determined to be that a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of display of game data. Note that the display end condition is not limited to this, and the effect button BT may be operated in a predetermined manner, or a special game may be newly started. The effect display device EH A predetermined effect (for example, reach effect) may be started. Further, for example, the display end condition may be that the sub-control board 31 is stopped to shut off the power.

  When the predetermined display end condition is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so that the display target data being displayed is not displayed. Specifically, the sub control CPU 31a outputs an end designation command capable of specifying the display end of the display target data to the control unit of the effect display device EH. Here, when the end designation command is input, the control unit of the effect display device EH controls the image display unit of the effect display device EH so as to hide the display target data being displayed. Note that the control unit of the effect display device EH may display the display target data continuously or intermittently until the end designation command is input after the start designation command is inputted. Good. On the other hand, if the predetermined display end condition is not satisfied, the sub-control CPU 31a does not output the end designation command and continues displaying the display target data.

  Here, the sub-control CPU 31a compares the numerical value of the predetermined display target data with a predetermined threshold for all the display target data or the predetermined display target data arbitrarily selected, and according to the comparison result. The display mode of the predetermined display target data may be configured to be switched from the normal display mode to the special display mode. For example, the normal display mode is a mode in which a first color (for example, blue) is always displayed, and the special display mode is a second color (for example, red) that is different from the first color, or a blinking display. It is an aspect.

  For example, if the accessory ratio P7 does not exceed 0.7 as the threshold value, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the accessory ratio P7 in the normal display mode. Are displayed in a special display mode. For example, if the consecutive character ratio P9 does not exceed 0.6 as the threshold value, the sub control CPU 31a displays the continuous character ratio P9 in the normal display mode. The ratio P7 is displayed in a special display mode.

  For example, when the button vibration time P21 per hour does not exceed the threshold value of 80 seconds / hour, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the button vibration time P21 per hour in the normal display mode. The button vibration time P21 per hour is displayed in a special display mode. For example, when the lever vibration time P22 per hour does not exceed 80 seconds / hour as a threshold, the sub control CPU 31a displays the lever vibration time P22 per hour in the normal display mode, while The lever vibration time P22 per hour is displayed in a special display mode.

  Then, when outputting the data designation command and the numerical designation command, the sub control CPU 31a further outputs a display mode designation command that can specify the display mode of the display target data to the control unit of the effect display device EH. Here, when displaying the data information and the numerical information, the control unit of the effect display device EH displays the image of the effect display device EH so that the display mode can be specified from the display mode designation command. Control part. As described above, in the present embodiment, the function as display control means for controlling the effect display device EH is realized by the sub control CPU 31a executing the data display process.

  (15) In this embodiment, the display target data is displayed on the effect display device EH, so that it is possible to verify the game performance with the pachinko gaming machine 10 alone. For example, since the game data at the time of trial firing can be easily confirmed, it is possible to quickly respond to the gameability of the pachinko gaming machine 10. In addition, since it is possible to verify the gameability while experiencing the performance actually performed by performing the game (trial hit) on the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, the fluctuation efficiency is increased from the reserved digest ratio of the number of special reservation = 3. In order to increase it, it is also possible to present a specific amendment regarding the gameability such that the development rate of a predetermined effect (reach effect or the like) in the state where the number of special holds = 4 may be lowered.

  (16) In the present embodiment, in addition to display target data (basic data and game data), the number of payout balls (number of winning balls) Ea can be displayed as a predetermined effect (payout ball number display effect).

If not, it will not be displayed. Therefore, in this embodiment, while the display data suitable for improving the player's interest is displayed without limitation, the display start condition is not satisfied for the display target data (basic data and game data). By not displaying as much as possible, the interest of the player can be further improved.

For example, the above embodiment may be modified as follows.
-The display start condition may be further changed as follows. For example, the display start condition may be a condition that is satisfied when the display target data coincides with a predetermined numerical value, or is within a predetermined numerical value range. Specifically, the display start condition may be a condition that is satisfied when the out-ball number Da7 reaches a specified number. The display start condition may be a condition that is satisfied when the gaming state changes. Specifically, the display start condition may be a condition that is satisfied when the high base state is shifted to the low base state or when the high probability state is shifted to the low probability state. Further, the display start condition may be a condition that is satisfied when a game state that is not a big hit game is shifted to a big hit game. Furthermore, the display start condition is triggered by any of the start of the opening time (input of the opening command), the start of the round game (input of the round command), and the start of the ending time (input of the ending command) in the big hit game. May be satisfied. For example, the display start condition may be that a predetermined control command is input. For example, the display start condition may be a condition that is satisfied when a dedicated operation unit different from the effect button BT and the effect lever LE is operated. For example, this dedicated operation means may be provided on the back side of the game board YB. Different display start conditions may be defined for each display target data.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may include an auxiliary power source (backup means) for holding the stored contents of the sub-control RAM 31c even when the power is shut off. According to this, even when the power is cut off, the basic data acquired in the sub-control board 31 and the generated game data are retained, and the data is continuously accumulated even after the power is turned on. it can.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes the backup unit, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may include a reset unit for resetting the stored contents of the sub-control RAM 31c. For example, the function as the reset means can be realized by the sub control CPU 31a executing the following reset process. In the reset process, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether or not an operation signal is input from the effect lever LE when the power is turned on. When the operation signal is not input from the effect lever LE, the sub-control CPU 31a ends the reset process. When an operation signal is input from the effect lever LE, the sub control CPU 31a updates the basic data and game data stored in the sub control RAM 31c to initial values and resets them. Thereafter, the sub control CPU 31a ends the reset process. In this other example, the operation of the effect lever LE corresponds to a reset operation for resetting the stored contents of the sub-control RAM 31c. For example, the reset operation may be an operation of the effect button BT, or may be possible by an operation of a reset button provided on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that, in the reset process, the data to be reset can be selected from the basic data and game data stored in the sub-control RAM 31c in accordance with the operation of the effect button BT, the effect lever LE, etc. May be.

  The sub control CPU 31a may be able to generate the balance P12 as the first type game data. The balance P12 is numerical data that can specify the balance by multiplying the difference ball number Dc by a predetermined value (4 in the present embodiment). For example, the unit is “yen”. When the difference ball number Dc is updated, the sub control CPU 31a updates the balance P12 with numerical data calculated by multiplying the difference ball number Dc and a predetermined value.

  The sub control CPU 31a may be capable of generating the start count P13 per thousand yen as the first type game data. The start count P13 per thousand yen is numerical data that can specify the start count of the variable game per thousand yen. For example, the unit is “times / thousand yen”. When the first generation condition is satisfied, the sub control CPU 31a calculates the start count P13 per thousand yen (the start count of the variable game per thousand yen) by the following calculation formula 13. However, BS = Db1 / Da1 × 100 and S = (Dj1 + Dk1) / Da1 × 100.

Number of starts per thousand yen P13 = 250 / (100−BS) × S (13)
The sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device EH so that a part of the basic data and the game data is always displayed, while the display start condition is satisfied for the other data. The effect display device EH may be controlled to display the opportunity.

  The sub control CPU 31a may be configured to control the image display unit of the effect display device EH. In this case, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can omit a configuration for outputting control signals (start designation command, data designation command, numerical designation command, and display mode designation command) related to game data.

  The out ball sensor SE6 may be a sensor that detects only the game ball that has entered the out port 22. In this case, the out-ball number Da of the game data may be calculated as the total number of game ball detections by the sensors SE1 to SE3, SE5, and SE6. That is, the out ball number Da is the number of times the first to fourth and sixth passage designation commands are input.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may include a dedicated display device for displaying at least one of basic data and game data. Further, the dedicated display device may be provided on the back side (rear side) of the game board YB.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may include an external terminal (hereinafter referred to as a data terminal) for outputting a signal that can specify at least one of basic data and game data. The sub-control CPU 31a performs a process for outputting a signal capable of specifying the generated data from the external terminal. According to this modification, by connecting the external device to the external terminal, at least one of basic data and game data can be acquired by the external device.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured to be unable to display part or all of the basic data and game data. For example, the sub control board 31 (sub control CPU 31a) is configured not to output a start designation command, a data designation command, a numerical designation command, and a display mode designation command to the control unit of the effect display device EH. Also good. For example, the control unit of the effect display device EH may be configured not to display the display target data even if a start designation command, a data designation command, a numerical designation command, and a display mode designation command are input. Even with this configuration, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can accumulate basic data and game data.

The type of basic data acquired in the sub control board 31 may be changed.
The type of game data generated on the sub control board 31 may be changed. For example, the game data generated on the sub-control board 31 may include numerical data that can specify the number of payouts determined for each of the winning openings 15, 16, 18, and 21, and a predetermined operation member such as an effect button BT. There may be numerical data that can specify the number of operations. Further, the sub control CPU 31a may generate second type game data that can specify the number of times the movable bodies EK1 to EK3 are driven per unit game time.

  The sub control CPU 31a may generate the first type game data using the start count Dl of the normal game. For example, the sub-control CPU 31a may generate data that can specify the number of times Dl of the normal game per unit game time.

  The sub control CPU 31a may generate the first type game data using the gate passing number Di. For example, the sub control CPU 31a may generate data that can specify the number of game balls passed to the gate 20 per unit game time.

  The main control CPU 30a may generate part or all of the game data described above. In this case, the main control CPU 30a may execute a process of outputting a control signal capable of specifying the generated game data to the sub control board 31. The sub control CPU 31a only needs to be able to control the effect display device EH so as to display game data that can be specified from the input control signal. Note that the pachinko gaming machine 10 can omit a configuration for outputting a control signal (first to sixth passage designation commands) related to basic data when the main control CPU 30a generates all of the game data.

  The first to sixth passage designation commands may not be set in the output buffer in one command setting process. For example, the first to sixth passage designation commands may be set in the output buffer by two or more command setting processes.

  -Depending on the type of game data generated by the sub-control CPU 31a, passage designation commands not used for game data generation may not be set in the output buffer in the command setting process.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 grants a privilege on condition that a game ball that has entered the grand prize opening 18 passes through a specific area (so-called V area) and a V winning is detected by the V winning sensor. It may be configured. In this case, when the sub control CPU 31a inputs a detection signal from the V winning sensor, it may generate a command that can specify that the game ball has passed the specific area and set it in the output buffer.

  The privilege to be granted on condition that the V prize is generated may be one or both of a high probability state after the end of the jackpot game and a high base state after the end of the jackpot game. For example, in the case where a small winning lottery is installed, the bonus granted by the main control CPU 30a when a V winning is generated during the small winning game may be a big winning game.

・ The number of winning balls for each winning slot may be changed as appropriate.
The various effects executed by the sub control CPU 31a may include a light effect by the decoration lamp LA and a sound effect by the speaker SP.

The special game may be displayed on the effect display device EH. In this case, the effect game may not be displayed.

The function of the main control board 30 may be realized by dividing it into a plurality of boards. The main control board 30 may be composed of a plurality of CPUs mounted on a single board.
The main control CPU 30a, the main control ROM 30b, and the main control RAM 30c may be configured as a one-chip microprocessor.

  The function of the sub control board 31 may be realized by dividing it into a plurality of boards. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may include a display board that specially controls the effect display device EH, a lamp board that specially controls the decorative lamp LA, and an audio board that specially controls the speaker SP. You may further provide the overall board which controls a board group centrally. The sub control CPU 31a may be composed of a plurality of CPUs mounted on a single substrate.

  -You may apply to the slot machine as a game machine. In this case, the slot machine uses medals as game media. Further, the slot machine includes a medal sensor that detects a medal inserted from the slot as a detection unit. Then, when a medal is detected by the medal sensor, the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 sets a passage designation command (first command) in the output buffer. In addition, the main control CPU 30a determines that a predetermined condition is met when a medal is detected by the medal sensor in a state where the medal can be received and the specific condition that the bet number does not reach the upper limit number is satisfied. An insertion command (second command) for instructing the output of the voice (medal insertion sound) is set in the output buffer.

  Further, when the main control CPU 30a receives an operation of the operation lever in a state where a predetermined number of medals are bet, the main control CPU 30a performs a lottery to start the rotation of the reel. When the main control CPU 30a accepts the operation of the stop button, the main control CPU 30a stops the reel in accordance with the result of the winning lottery and the operation timing of the stop button, and derives a combination of symbols (display result). When the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is a predetermined combination for giving a prize, the main control CPU 30a gives the player a prize determined for that combination. For example, the prize includes replay (replay game), payout of medals, bonus game, and ART state.

  For example, the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 may generate insertion number data that can specify the number of medals inserted based on the passage designation command. Further, for example, the sub-control CPU 31a may control the speaker when inputting the input command and output a predetermined sound.
