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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The special figure hold number is displayed on the special figure hold indicator 83. Each of the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of special figure hold by turning on the LED for the number of special figure hold. It is possible.

  Further, the variable display of the normal map notifies the result of the general map lottery. In the variable display of the normal map, the stop map is displayed after the variable map is variable. A general map that is displayed in a stopped state (a general map that is derived and displayed as a display result of a variable display or a variable display) is one common map selected from a plurality of types of general maps by a general drawing lottery. When the stop-displayed general chart is a predetermined specific figure (a general figure of a predetermined stop mode, that is, a winning symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second start port 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed. .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure variation effects are performed in “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state” and “high probability high base gaming state”. It is an effect mode that can be set when there is not, and indicates a standby state in which no special figure variation effect is performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-1), a customer waiting demonstration video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16A-2, a setting screen G101 for performing settings related to the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. Settings related to effects include volume setting of sound output from the speaker 52, luminance setting of the display unit 50a ("light quantity setting"), frequency setting of effects to be executed ("effect setting"), and the like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If the jackpot determination result is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol indicating the jackpot is stopped and displayed, and if the jackpot determination result is a loss, the lose symbol indicating the loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special figure fluctuation stop command indicating the end of variable display of the special figure is generated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 30, at the center of the base part 221, a bottomed cylindrical protruding part 222 protruding in the direction opposite to the decorative part 225 side is provided. A rotating member 327 that can rotate in accordance with the rotational drive of the first motor 321 can be disposed inside the protruding portion 222. The first motor 321 and the rotating member 327 will be described later.

  The base portion 221 has three circular holes 223 (see FIG. 30). These circular holes 223 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to the center of the base portion 221. Circular protrusions 255 protruding from the support part 250 are inserted into the circular holes 223, respectively. The circular protrusion 255 will be described later.

  The decorative portion 225 is formed by combining a first resin member made of a colorless and transparent material and a second resin member whose surface is plated. The decorative portion 225 includes a first surface portion 227 and a second surface portion 245 (see FIG. 29). The second surface portion 245 is a portion facing the base portion 221 in the movable portion 220 (see FIG. 30). The second surface portion 245 is provided with three rod-like extending portions 246 extending from the second surface portion 245 toward the base portion 221 side. A base portion 221 is fixed to the tips of these three extending portions 246. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 30, a gap having a predetermined length (specifically, the length of the extending portion 246) is formed between the base portion 221 and the decorative portion 225 in the movable portion 220.

  The first surface portion 227 of the decoration portion 225 is a portion that can be visually recognized by the player through the colorless and transparent cover portion 210 (dome portion 211) in the hemispherical button unit 200 (see FIG. 27). As shown in FIGS. 27 and 29, the first surface portion 227 has a light transmitting portion 226 made of the first resin member.

  The decorative portion 225 of the present embodiment is also made of the first resin member for the second surface portion 245 and the interior of the decorative portion 225 (the portion between the first surface portion and the second surface portion). Therefore, when light is incident from the second surface portion 245 of the decorative portion 225, the light reaches the first surface portion 227 through the interior of the decorative portion 225. Then, light is emitted to the outside of the decorative portion 225 through the light transmitting portion 226 of the first surface portion 227. Specifically, light is emitted toward the dome portion 211 of the cover portion 210 above the decoration portion 225.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the support portion 250 includes a support body portion 251 having a circular shape, a substantially disk-shaped light source portion 260 fixed to the support body portion 251, and a light guide plate 275. The support main body portion 251 has a circular shape with a larger diameter than the cylindrical portion 212 of the cover portion 210. Further, in the vicinity of the periphery of the support main body 251, there are a first leg insertion hole 253 corresponding to the first leg 213 of the cover part 210 and a second leg insertion hole 254 corresponding to the second leg 215. Yes (see FIG. 32). A substantially circular central hole 252 is formed at the center of the support main body 251 (see FIGS. 31 and 32). Further, a rod-shaped circular protrusion 255 protruding from the surface of the support main body 251 is provided (see FIG. 31). The light source 260 and the light guide plate 275 are fixed to the tips of these circular protrusions 255. In addition, as shown in FIG. 28, the support part 250 and the decoration part 225 of the movable part 220 are separate bodies. Therefore, the light source part 260 and the decoration part 225 are independent of each other.

  A fixing jig 322 for fixing the first motor 321 is attached to the back surface of the support main body 251 (see FIGS. 31 and 32). The fixing jig 322 includes a plate-shaped fixing portion 323 and a plurality of attachment pieces 325 protruding from the fixing portion 323 toward the support main body portion 251 of the supporting portion 250 (see FIG. 32). By fixing the attachment piece 325 to the back surface of the support main body portion 251, the fixing portion 323 is arranged in parallel with the support main body portion 251, and the distance between the fixing portion 323 and the support main body portion 251 is kept constant. (See FIG. 32).

  The first motor 321 is fixed to the lower surface of the fixing portion 323 with the surface on the rotation axis AX1 side being overlapped. The rotation shaft AX1 of the first motor 321 passes through the central hole 324 of the fixed portion 323. Thus, in this embodiment, the distance between the support body 251 and the first motor 321 is kept constant by the fixing jig 322.

  The light source unit 260 has a substantially disc shape as shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, and a plurality of (four in this embodiment) LEDs are arranged on the surface.

  The light guide plate 275 is for guiding only light traveling in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the light source unit 260 among the light emitted from each LED of the light source unit 260 to the decoration unit 225 of the movable unit 220. The light guide plate 275 has a substantially disk shape, similar to the light source unit 260 described above (see FIGS. 28 and 31).

  A substrate unit 280 shown in FIG. 28 is for controlling the light emission of each of the plurality of LEDs of the light source unit 260. In the present embodiment, the above-described photosensor 40a for detecting the pressing operation of the cover unit 210 is mounted. The photo sensor 40a corresponds to the normal button detection switch 40a described above.

  The sensor switch unit 290 is for shielding light from the photosensor 40a mounted on the substrate unit 280 (see FIG. 28). The sensor switch part 290 is formed with a light shielding part 291 that can shield the photosensor 40a. The sensor switch part 290 has a rectangular shape whose length in the longitudinal direction is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical part 212 of the cover part 210. And the convex part 292 which protrudes in the cover part 210 side is each provided in the longitudinal direction both ends (refer FIG. 28). The convex portion 292 engages with the concave portion 216 of the second leg portion 215 inserted through the second leg portion insertion hole 254 of the support portion 250.

  The motor holding part 300 has a rectangular shape whose length in the longitudinal direction is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical part 212 of the cover part 210 (see FIG. 28). Wall portions 301 extending toward the cover portion 210 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the motor holding portion 300. The wall portion 301 is provided with an engaging portion 302 that protrudes in the radial direction of the cylindrical portion 212. A substantially circular central hole 303 is formed in the center of the motor holding unit 300. Note that the engaging hole 302 of the first leg 213 inserted into the first leg inserting hole 253 of the support part 250 is engaged with the engaging part 302 of the wall part 301.

  A second motor 331 is attached to the motor holding unit 300 (see FIG. 33). Specifically, a motor accommodating portion 305 is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the motor holding portion 300, and the second motor 331 is accommodated in the motor accommodating portion 305. An eccentric weight 332 whose center of gravity is deviated from the rotation axis AX2 is attached to the rotation axis AX2 of the second motor 331.

  A bottom portion 310 shown in FIG. 28 has a circular shape substantially the same size as the support portion 250, is fixed to the bottom portion of the support portion 250, and includes a first leg portion 213 of the cover portion 210 and a second motor 331. The holding unit 300 and the first motor 321 are accommodated. A first urging spring 314 and a second urging spring 315 are provided between the bottom portion 310 and the motor holding portion 300. The first urging spring 314 is for urging the motor holding part 300 upward with respect to the bottom part 310 and the support part 250. The second urging spring 315 is for urging the sensor switch part 290 upward with respect to the bottom part 310 and the support part 250.

  The motor holding unit 300, the sensor switch unit 290 and the cover unit 210 are urged upward by the urging springs 314 and 315 with respect to the bottom unit 310 and the support unit 250. The photo sensor 40a of the cover unit 210 described above detects that the sensor switch unit 290 is disposed at the lower position against the second biasing spring 315.

  In the hemispherical button unit 200, the dome part 211 and the cylindrical part 212 of the cover part 210 are configured to cover the upper part of the support part 250 on which the movable part 220 is arranged. As described above, since the cover part 210 is made of a transparent resin member, the player can visually recognize the movable part 220 inside the cover part 210 (dome part 211).

  Further, the cover unit 210 and the motor holding unit 300 form the normal button 40. The cover part 210 can move up and down relatively with respect to the support part 250. When the cover unit 210 is pressed, the motor holding unit 300 and the sensor switch unit 290 are moved downward accordingly. Since the sensor switch unit 290 includes a pair of light shielding units 291, when the sensor switch unit 290 moves downward together with the cover unit 210, a pressing operation is detected by the photosensor 40 a disposed on the substrate unit 280. Is supposed to.

7-1-2. Vibration Mechanism of Normal Button (Hemispherical Button Unit) Next, each operation of the vibration mechanism of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) will be described with reference to FIGS.

  There are two vibration mechanisms of the normal button 40, the first vibration mechanism 320 and the second vibration mechanism 330. First, the second vibration mechanism 330 will be described. When the second motor 331 described above operates, the eccentric weight 332 of the second motor 331 rotates about the rotation axis AX2, as shown in FIG. Then, the second motor 331 vibrates due to the centrifugal force of the eccentric weight 332 and collides with the motor housing part 305 of the motor holding part 300. Then, the vibration of the second motor 331 is transmitted to the motor holding unit 300 through the motor housing unit 305, and is also transmitted to the cover unit 210 engaged with the motor holding unit 300 through the first leg unit 213. Thereby, the cover part 210 vibrates.

  As described above, the first leg portion 213 of the cover portion 210 is inserted into the first leg portion insertion hole 253 of the support portion 250. Therefore, the movement of the cover portion 210 in the horizontal direction (that is, the direction in which the support main body portion 251 of the support portion 250 spreads) is limited to the size of the first leg insertion hole 253, while the first biasing spring 314 Vertical movement is allowed by expansion and contraction. Therefore, the vibration of the cover part 210 is a so-called pitch-type vibration in which the vibration in the vertical direction is larger than the vibration in the horizontal direction.

  Note that a sound (vibration sound) is generated when the vibrating second motor 331 collides with the motor housing unit 305 of the motor holding unit 300. For this reason, when pitch-type vibration is generated by the second vibration mechanism 330, vibration noise is also generated.

  Next, the first vibration mechanism 320 corresponding to the vibration mechanism of the movable portion 220 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 34 shows a movable part 220 and a first vibration mechanism 320 that vibrates the movable part 220. The first vibration mechanism 320 includes a first motor 321, a fixing jig 322, a coil spring 326, a rotating member 327, and a support portion 250.

  The movable part 220 has a configuration in which a disk-shaped base part 221 is covered with a decoration part 225. The base portion 221 is overlaid on the support portion 250 from above, and the protruding portion 222 of the base portion 221 is loosely fitted in the central hole 252 of the support portion 250.

  Here, the circular hole 223 of the base portion 221 has a larger diameter than the circular protrusion 255, and the circular protrusion 255 inserted into the circular hole 223 can move in the circular hole 223. That is, the movement of the base portion 221 is restricted by the contact between the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223 and the circular protrusion 255. In FIG. 36, the base portion 221 is shown by a dotted line when it moves in one direction in the horizontal plane and the movement is restricted by the circular protrusion 255, and the range Q in which the movement of the base portion 221 is allowed is shown by a two-dot chain line. Show. In the present embodiment, since the plurality of circular holes 223 and the circular protrusions 255 have the same size, when one circular protrusion 255 abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223, the remaining circular protrusions 255 also contacts the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223. This makes it possible to disperse the contact portion between the base portion 221 and the circular protrusion 255 in the circumferential direction of the base portion 221. Further, in the present embodiment, the base 221 can be smoothly moved by the circular protrusion 255 being in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223.

  The rotating member 327 is attached to the center of the base portion 221, that is, to the protruding portion 222, and is rotatable relative to the base portion 221 (see FIG. 34). Specifically, the rotation member 327 includes a rotation shaft 328 that extends in a direction orthogonal to the base portion 221 and penetrates the base portion 221, and an eccentric weight 329. The rotating shaft 328 is attached to the center of the projecting portion 222 via a bearing (not shown), so that the rotating member 327 can rotate relative to the base portion 221.

  The eccentric weight 329 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 328 and rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 328 (see FIG. 34). As shown in FIG. 35, the eccentric weight 329 has a fan shape in plan view. A circular recess 224 that allows the eccentric weight 329 to rotate is formed on the upper surface of the base portion 221, and the eccentric weight 329 rotates in the circular recess 224.

  The coil spring 326 is disposed coaxially with the rotation axis AX1 of the first motor 321. One end of the coil spring 326 is fixed to the rotation axis AX1. The other end of the coil spring 326 is fixed to the rotating shaft 328 of the rotating member 327.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, the natural length of the coil spring 326 is the length by which the base portion 221 (movable portion 220) fixed to the other end portion of the coil spring 326 via the rotating member 327 is lifted from the support portion 250. It has become. Specifically, the fixing jig 322 described above has a distance between the support portion 250 and the first motor 321 such that the base portion 221 (movable portion 220) is lifted from the support portion 250 when the coil spring 326 is a natural length. It keeps like that.

  Next, the operation of the first vibration mechanism 320 will be described. When the first motor 321 described above is operated, the other end of the coil spring 326 and the rotating member 327 are turned around the rotation axis AX1. Then, the base portion 221 (circular recess 224) is pushed by the eccentric weight 329, and the movable portion 220 also tries to turn.

  Since the rotating member 327 includes the eccentric weight 329 eccentric from the rotation axis AX1, the turning radius of the rotating member 327 increases and the base portion 221 collides with the circular protrusion 255 of the support portion 250. Accordingly, the base portion 221 vibrates (swings) in the horizontal direction (that is, the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1) while repeatedly colliding with the circular protrusion 255 of the support portion 250 within the range Q shown in FIG. ).

  In this embodiment, the coil spring 326 is disposed coaxially with the rotation axis AX1 of the first motor 321, and can be elastically bent and deformed in the horizontal direction of the movable portion 220. Therefore, the base portion 221 is a rotating member that rotates. The base 221 moves in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1, that is, the rotation axis AX1 due to the centrifugal force of 327, the drag received from the colliding circular protrusion 255, and the restoring force of the coil spring 326. It is possible to vibrate randomly in a plane perpendicular to the.

  Thus, the base portion 221 of the movable portion 220 randomly vibrates in the horizontal direction within the range Q shown in FIG. Further, due to the expansion and contraction of the coil spring 326, the movable portion 220 is allowed to vibrate in the vertical direction. Therefore, the movable part 220 is allowed to vibrate both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction.

  Further, a sound is generated when the base portion 221 collides with the circular protrusion 255 of the support portion 250. Therefore, when the vibration of the movable part 220 is generated by the first vibration mechanism 320, sound is also generated.

  As described above, the vibration pattern of the movable part 220 is different from the vibration of the pitch-type cover part 210 described above. Thus, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, since the vibration patterns of the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 are different, it is possible to easily distinguish the vibrations of the two members.

  Further, since the cover portion 210 vibrates in the vertical direction (specifically, vibrates along the direction approaching and far away from the player's viewpoint), the vibration of the cover portion 210 is difficult for the player to see. It has become. On the other hand, since the movable part 220 vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1, the vibration of the movable part 220 is easier to be visually recognized by the player than the vibration of the cover part 210. Thereby, it is possible to make the vibration state of the movable part 220 visually stand out from the vibration state of the cover part 210 covering the movable part 220.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the light source unit 260 is fixed to the support unit 250 through the circular projection 255. On the other hand, the movable part 220 can be displaced with respect to the support part 250. That is, the light source unit 260 is arranged at a predetermined position excluding the decoration part 225 regardless of whether the decoration part 225 of the movable part 220 is displaced. That is, even if the decoration part 225 is displaced, the light source part 260 is not displaced with the displacement of the decoration part 225. Therefore, when the decoration part 225 is displaced, it is displaced relative to the light source part 260. That is, it is possible to change the relative positional relationship between the decorative part 225 and the light source part 260 that are displaced.

7-2. Next, the above-described movable board 55k will be further described with reference to FIG. The on-board movable body 55k is disposed in front of the upper edge of the display unit 50a in the normal standby state (standby position) shown in FIG. The on-board movable body 55k can be moved (lowered) from the standby position to an operation position below the standby position shown in FIG.

  The on-board movable body 55k of the present embodiment can perform two types of operations (first operation and second operation). The first operation is an operation that descends from the standby position shown in FIG. 5 (A) to the operation position shown in FIG. 5 (B) and then rises (returns) from the operation position to the standby position. That is, it is an operation that moves up and down once between the standby position and the operation position. On the other hand, the second operation is an operation that moves up and down twice between a standby position and an operation position in a predetermined execution period. Specifically, this is an operation of moving up and down between the standby position and the operation position once every start and end of a predetermined execution period. An operation performed at the beginning of a predetermined execution period is referred to as an initial operation, and an operation performed at the end is referred to as an end operation. The predetermined execution period, start period, and end period will be described in detail later.

  In the first operation, the on-board movable body 55k moves up and down once, so that it is possible to draw the player's attention to the on-board movable body 55k that operates. Further, in the second operation, the on-board movable body 55k moves up and down at the start and end of the predetermined execution period, so that it is possible to attract the player's attention to the on-board movable body 55k that is activated than in the first operation. It has become. In addition, the player's line of sight can be directed to the display unit 50a behind the on-board movable body 55k.

7-3. Game State Next, the game state that can be controlled by the game control microcomputer 101 will be further described. The game control microcomputer 101 according to the present embodiment displays a time-saving state even after the jackpot game state in which any of the jackpot games of “jackpot game X”, “jackpot game Y”, and “jackpot game Z” is executed. Set. Further, in the jackpot game state, if the game ball passes through the specific area 16 in the second big prize opening 15, a high probability state is set after the jackpot game is executed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the 16th R of “Big Jack Game X” and “Big Jack Game Z” is a round game in which the opening time of the second big winning opening 15 is a maximum of 29.5 seconds. The 16th round of “Occasion game Y” is a round game in which the opening time of the second big prize opening 15 is 0.1 seconds at the maximum. Therefore, when the jackpot game being executed is “jackpot game X” and “jackpot game Z”, the game ball easily passes through the specific area 16 in the second jackpot 15 at the 16th round, and then enters a high probability state. Easy to set. On the other hand, when the jackpot game being executed is “jackpot game Y”, it is difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 on the 16th R, and it is difficult to set the high probability state thereafter (set to the normal probability state). Easy to do).

  Therefore, after the jackpot gaming state in which either of the jackpot games X or the jackpot game Z is executed, the above-described “high probability high base gaming state” is set (see FIG. 15). On the other hand, after the jackpot gaming state in which the jackpot game of “jackpot game Y” is executed, the above-mentioned “low probability high base gaming state” is entered (see FIG. 15).

  The “high probability high base gaming state” of the present embodiment can be continued until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches the first specific number (specifically, 180 times). On the other hand, the “low probability high base gaming state” can be continued until the number of times of special display variable display becomes a second specific number of times (specifically, 100 times) which is smaller than the first specific number of times. Accordingly, the “big hit game X” and the “big hit game Z” in which the high probability state is set after the big hit game are the big hit games that are more advantageous to the player than the “big hit game Y” in which the high probability state is not set after the big hit game. It can be said. The jackpot gaming state in which the “jackpot game X” or the “jackpot game Z” is executed can be said to be a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which the “jackpot game Y” is executed.

  In the present embodiment, when the “big hit game X” is executed, the big hit of the “big hit symbol X” is determined as the lottery result of the special figure 1 immediately before that. Further, when “big hit game Y” is executed, the big hit of “big hit symbol Y” is determined as the lottery result of special figure 1 immediately before that.

  Furthermore, if the jackpot type of the jackpot won in the special figure 1 is “big jackpot symbol X” or “hit jackpot symbol Y”, it is possible to indicate to the player through the stop display of the direct symbol variation production effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. Informed. Specifically, if the jackpot type is “hit symbol X”, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in the same odd-numbered symbol triplet in the immediately preceding special symbol variation effect. On the other hand, if the jackpot type is “big hit symbol Y”, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in the same special symbol variation effect in the last three even-numbered symbols.

  The effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and then stopped. Therefore, for example, when the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of three even-numbered identical symbols, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are the same odd numbers by executing the subsequent symbol change production. There is a case where the display is changed to the temporary stop display with the triple of symbols, and the stop display is performed with the triple of the same odd number of symbols. The effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the symbol change effect will be described in detail later.

  38 and 39 show the distribution ratio (execution probability) of the special figure fluctuation pattern in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when the determination result of the special figure 1 lottery is “big hit” and the big hit symbol type is “big hit symbol X” in the non-time-short state, the distribution ratio shown in FIG. The figure variation pattern is selected by the game control microcomputer 101. Further, when the determination result of the special figure 1 lottery is “big hit” and the big hit symbol type is “big hit symbol Y” in the non-time-short state, the special figure variation pattern with the distribution ratio shown in FIG. Is selected. Furthermore, if the determination result of the special figure 1 lottery is “losing with reach” in the non-time-short state, the special figure variation pattern is selected at the distribution rate shown in FIG.

  As described above, the special figure variation patterns “P21” and “P22” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol X in the non-time-short state has a special figure variation effect that shifts to SP reach. They are associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38A, the total value of the distribution ratio values of this special figure variation pattern is “34%”.

  In addition, the special figure variation patterns “P23” and “P24” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol X in a non-time-short state is associated with a special figure variation effect that shifts to L reach. (See FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38A, the total value of the distribution ratio values of this special figure variation pattern is “33%”.

  In addition, special figure variation patterns “P25” and “P26” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol X in a non-time-short state is associated with a special figure variation effect that does not shift to the development effect. (See FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38A, the total value of the distribution ratio values of this special figure variation pattern is “33%”.

  In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P27” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol Y in a non-time-short state is the same as the special figure fluctuation patterns “P21” and “P22” described above. A special figure variation effect that shifts to reach is associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38B, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “34%”.

  Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P28” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol Y in the non-time-short state is the same as the above-described special figure fluctuation patterns “P23” and “P24”. A special figure variation effect that shifts to reach is associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38 (B), the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “33%”.

A special figure variation effect that does not shift to the effect is associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38 (B), the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “33%”.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a big hit in a non-time-saving state, the special figure variation effect that shifts to the SP reach is also transferred to the L reach regardless of the type of the big hit symbol. The figure change effect and the special figure change effect that does not shift to the development effect can be executed to almost the same extent.

  On the other hand, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P04” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is “losing with reach” in a non-time-short state includes the special figure fluctuation patterns “P21”, “P22”, and “ Similar to “P27”, a special figure variation effect transitioning to SP reach is associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38C, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “5%”.

  Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P05” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is “losing with reach” in a non-time-short state includes the special figure fluctuation patterns “P23”, “P24”, and “ Similarly to “P28”, a special figure variation effect that shifts to L reach is associated (see FIG. 37).

According to FIG. 38C, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “75%”.

  As described above, in the case of the non-time-short state, the big hit expectation is relatively higher in the L reach after the development effect than in the special figure variation effect that does not shift to the development effect. In addition, the SP reach is relatively higher in the jackpot expectation than the L reach.

  The special figure variation patterns “P22”, “P24”, and “P26” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol X in a non-time-short state is described later after reaching the even number symbols. A special figure variation effect in which a symbol change effect is performed is associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 38 (A), the value of the distribution ratio of each special figure variation pattern is “5%”.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a big hit in the non-time-saving state, even if the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of three of the same even symbols, the symbol change production By executing this, the player can expect that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 may change to the same odd symbol.

  In addition, even when the even number of 3 symbols are aligned in the N reach, even when the even number of 3 symbols are aligned in the L reach, even when the even number of 3 symbols are aligned in the SP reach, The symbol change effect can be executed at the same level. Therefore, the player can expect that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 may change to the same odd symbol through any reach effect of N reach, L reach, and SP reach.

  In the present embodiment, when the determination result of the special figure 1 lottery is “big hit” and the big hit symbol type is “big hit symbol X” in the short-time state, the special figure with the distribution rate shown in FIG. The variation pattern is selected by the game control microcomputer 101. Further, when the determination result of the special figure 1 lottery is “big hit” and the big hit symbol type is “big hit symbol Y” in the short-time state, the special figure variation pattern has the distribution ratio shown in FIG. 39B. It is selected by the game control microcomputer 101. On the other hand, if the determination result of the special figure 1 lottery is “losing with reach” in the short-time state, the special figure variation pattern is selected at the distribution rate shown in FIG.

  As described above, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P31” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol X in the short time state is associated with the special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to the SP reach (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 39A, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “70%”. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P32” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol X in a short time state is associated with a special figure fluctuation effect that does not shift to SP reach (see FIG. 37) ). According to FIG. 39A, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “30%”.

  In addition, the special figure variation pattern “P33” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery result is the jackpot symbol Y in the short-time state is the special figure that shifts to the SP reach as in the above-described special figure fluctuation pattern “P31”. Fluctuation effects are associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 39B, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “70%”. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P34” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is the jackpot symbol Y in the short-time state is the same as the above-described special figure fluctuation pattern “P32”. Fluctuation effects are associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 39B, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “30%”.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a big hit in the short-time state, the execution probability of the special figure variation effect transitioning to the SP reach is more likely to be the SP reach regardless of the type of the big hit symbol. It is higher than the special figure fluctuation effect that does not shift. Therefore, when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a big hit in the short-time state, the special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to the SP reach is easier to execute than the special figure change effect that does not shift to the SP reach.

  On the other hand, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P13” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is “losing with reach” in the short-time state is the same as the special figure fluctuation patterns “P31” and “P33” described above. A special figure variation effect that shifts to reach is associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 39C, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “20%”. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P14” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is “Leach with reach” in the short-time state is the same as the special figure fluctuation patterns “P32” and “P34” described above. Special figure variation effects that do not shift to reach are associated (see FIG. 37). According to FIG. 39C, the value of the distribution ratio of this special figure variation pattern is “80%”.

  As described above, in the case of the short time state, the jackpot expectation degree is relatively higher in the special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to the SP reach than the special figure fluctuation effect that does not shift to the SP reach.

7-5. Various effects Next, various effects in the present embodiment will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment can execute a “symbol change effect” in N reach, L reach, and SP reach. Further, “vibration body effect” and “special movable body effect” can be executed in relation to the “design change effect”.

7-5-1. Special Figure Fluctuation Production First, the special figure fluctuation production of this embodiment will be described. As described above, in the special figure variation effect, the three effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 and the three small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variablely displayed, temporarily stopped, or stopped on the display unit 50a. .

  There are eight different symbols in the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 of the present embodiment. Specifically, an image indicating the number “1”, an image indicating the number “2”, an image indicating the number “3”, and the number “4” are included in the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3, respectively. , An image indicating the number “5”, an image indicating the number “6”, an image indicating the number “7”, and an image indicating the number “8”. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 also have eight types of symbols that correspond to the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, respectively.

  In addition, there are eight types of stop modes that suggest jackpots in this embodiment. Specifically, “1 ・ 1 ・ 1”, “2 ・ 2 ・ 2”, “3 ・ 3 ・ 3”, “4 ・ 4 ・ 4”, “5 ・ 5 ・ 5”, “6 ・ 6 ・ 6” ”,“ 7 · 7 · 7 ”and“ 8 · 8 · 8 ”, the left middle right design (effect design, small design) is the same (three sets) stop mode.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the result of the special drawing 1 lottery is suggested to the player depending on the types of symbols that form a stop pattern of three sets. Specifically, it should be a set of three odd-numbered symbols with the same final stop mode, such as “1, 1, 1”, “3, 3, 3”, “5, 5, 5”, “7, 7, 7”. For example, it indicates to the player that the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a big hit with the jackpot symbol X. On the other hand, if the final stop pattern is the same even number of triples such as “2, 2, 2”, “4, 4, 4”, “6, 6, 6”, “8, 8, 8” This suggests that the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a jackpot with the jackpot symbol Y.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the jackpot game X executed after the jackpot game X is determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot symbol X, it is possible to enter the second jackpot 15 and it is determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot symbol Y. In the jackpot game Y to be executed later, it is substantially difficult to enter the second big prize opening 15. That is, after the jackpot game X is executed, the gaming state is likely to become a high probability high base gaming state, and after the jackpot game Y is executed, the gaming state is likely to be low probability high base gaming state. Therefore, the jackpot game X is a jackpot game that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game Y, and the player has the same odd symbol rather than the same even symbol as a stop pattern of three sets of the same symbol. It is easy to expect great expectations.

7-5-1-1. Reach “Reach” is an effect in which the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same effect symbol on the display unit 50a after the normal fluctuation. In “reach”, there are a case where the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same odd number symbol, and a case where the same even number symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed.

  In the special figure variation production of special figure 1, when the left production design EZ1 and the right production design EZ3 are shifted to the reach of the same odd number design, the player is expected to win a big hit, It is possible to make the player aware that the jackpot type is the jackpot symbol X. In addition, in the special figure variation production of special figure 1, if the left production design EZ1 and the right production design EZ3 shift to the reach of the same even number design, the player is expected to win the jackpot. At the same time, it is possible to make the player aware that the jackpot type is the jackpot symbol Y.

7-5-1-2. Temporary stop display and stop display of effect symbols At the final stage of the “L reach” or “SP reach” special effect variation effect, all three effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed. Further, even in the final stage of “N reach” that does not proceed to the development effect, all three effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed. Then, after the temporary stop display for a predetermined period, all of the three effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed.

  Specifically, for example, in the SP reach of the present embodiment, after the N reach, the SP reach exclusive effect (for example, a battle effect) described above is performed (see FIG. 19A), and FIG. 41A (and FIG. 19). The final phase of the SP reach exclusive production as shown in (B) is reached. When the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of special figure 1 is “P21”, “P23”, or “P25”, as shown in FIG. 41 (B), an effect that suggests a big hit (for example, the main character is a battle) The display symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of the same even number of symbols.

  After a temporary stop display for a predetermined period, as shown in FIG. 41C, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit.

7-5-1-3. Symbol Change Effect Next, the symbol change effect in the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 41 and 42. This symbol change effect is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, which are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of three identical even symbols, change to a triple of identical odd symbols. In the present embodiment, the symbol change effect is during SP reach with the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22”, L reach with the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24”, or N reach with the special figure fluctuation pattern “P26”. To be executed.

  In this symbol change effect, first, as shown in FIG. 42D, a display effect (first image) using a character image G120 composed of a head and a serif image G121 indicating a character string “I will change!” In a balloon. Display effect). This first display effect is performed in a state in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of even-numbered symbols. That is, it is executed when temporary stop display is performed on the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y.

  As described above, for the player, the jackpot symbol X is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot symbol Y. Therefore, if the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a jackpot, it is likely that the jackpot symbol X is preferable to the jackpot symbol Y as the jackpot type. Therefore, by executing the first display effect, it is possible to give joy to the player who was thought to win the jackpot of the jackpot symbol Y.

  Subsequently, a display effect (second display effect) using an image G122 indicating “blackout” as shown in FIG. As a result, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 during the temporary stop display disappear from the display unit 50a, and it is possible to attach the intention of the player who was paying attention to the changes in the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. It has become. Further, the execution of the second display effect causes the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to temporarily disappear from the display unit 50a. Therefore, the changed effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are not displayed on the display unit 50a without giving the player a sense of incongruity. Can be displayed again.

  In the symbol change effect, finally, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of three odd symbols (for example, “7”) as shown in FIG. Then, after such a symbol change effect, as shown in FIG. 42 (G), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a set of three odd symbols. Then, the special figure variation effect ends.

7-5-2. Next, the vibration body effect in the present embodiment will be described. This vibrating body effect is an effect accompanied by the vibration of the normal button 40 including the hemispherical button unit 200 described above. That is, the effect is to vibrate the normal button 40.

  In this embodiment, the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 vibrate together with the execution of the vibrating body effect. Therefore, while the vibrating body effect is being performed, the vibration of the cover part 210 of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) and the vibration of the movable part 220 of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) are perceived. It is possible. That is, the player can grasp the vibration operation of the normal button 40 through a plurality of perceptions (auditory, tactile, and visual). Thus, it is easy to grasp the vibration body effect being executed.

  Further, with the vibration operation of the normal button 40, each LED of the light source unit 260 of the normal button 40 emits light. The light from each LED is emitted to the outside of the normal button 40 through the light guide plate 275 and the translucent part 226 of the movable part 220 so as to be visible. Therefore, when a vibrating body effect is performed, light emission of the translucent part 226 of the movable part 220 is also accompanied.

  In the present embodiment, there are two types of light emission colors of “white” and “red” of the light transmitting part 226 (each LED of the light source part 260) that accompanies the execution of the vibrating body effect. The light emission color of the translucent part 226 until just before the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of three odd-numbered symbols is “white”, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and the odd-numbered symbols in three sets. The light emission color of the translucent part 226 is “red” after EZ3 is temporarily stopped.

  The vibrating body effect of this embodiment is always executed when the symbol change effect is performed. In addition, the execution of the vibrating body effect is started before the symbol change effect. Specifically, the execution of the vibrating body effect is started at the effect time T2 shown in FIG. 43, and the execution of the symbol change effect is started at the effect time T3 after the effect time T2. Therefore, the execution of the symbol change effect can be suggested to the player by the execution of the vibrating body effect. Each performance time will be described in detail later.

7-5-3. Special movable body effect The special movable body effect in the present embodiment is an effect in which the above-described on-board movable body 55k operates in the second operation. Specifically, during the period (start) from the effect time T4 to the effect time T5 in the predetermined execution period (the period from the effect time T4 to the effect time T8 shown in FIG. 43), the effect from the start operation and effect time T6 described above. In the period up to time T8 (end), the above-described end operation is performed using the on-board movable body 55k. In the period from the production time T5 to the production time T6 (between the start and the end), the on-board movable body 55k stands by (stops) at the standby position. Each performance time will be described in detail later.

7-6. Flow of effects when a symbol change effect is executed Subsequently, the flow of various effects (a special symbol variation effect including a symbol change effect, a vibrator effect, and a special movable object effect) when a symbol change effect is performed. 43 to 52 will be described.

  First, the special figure variation effect including the symbol change effect will be described. The symbol change effect of the present embodiment is performed during execution of the special symbol variation effect of a specific special diagram variation pattern. Specifically, the symbol change effect is performed during execution of SP reach in the special symbol change effect in which the special symbol change pattern “P22” is selected (see FIG. 37). Further, it is performed during execution of L reach in the special figure fluctuation effect in which the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24” is selected. Further, it is performed during execution of N reach in the special figure fluctuation effect in which the special figure fluctuation pattern “P26” is selected.

  FIG. 43 shows a timing chart with “effect time T1” when the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y are temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a in the various reach described above. Specifically, in the SP reach in the special figure variation production in which the special figure variation pattern “P22” is selected, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y are temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. The timing is assumed to be “production time T1”. Further, the timing at which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y are temporarily stopped and displayed in the L reach in the special symbol variation effect in which the special symbol fluctuation pattern “P24” is selected is “effect time T1”. To do. Alternatively, the timing at which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y are temporarily stopped and displayed in N reach in the special symbol variation effect in which the special symbol fluctuation pattern “P26” is selected is referred to as “effect time T1”. To do.

  In the present embodiment, the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y started from the effect time T1 is continued until immediately before the effect time T4 (see FIG. 43).

  Moreover, execution of the 1st display effect (refer FIG. 42 (D)) of a symbol change effect is started at effect time T3 (refer FIG. 43). As shown in FIG. 43, the production time T3 is a time earlier than the production time T4. Therefore, during the period from the production time T3 to immediately before the production time T4, the display unit 50a performs the first display effect of the symbol change effect together with the temporary stop display of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

  At the effect time T4, the execution of the second display effect (see FIG. 42E) of the symbol change effect is started. This second display effect is an effect executed by switching to the first display effect. Therefore, the first display effect of the symbol change effect ends immediately before the effect time T4. Further, as described above, the second display effect is a display effect using the image G122 indicating “blackout”, and accompanying the execution of the second display effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed from the display unit 50a. Disappear. Therefore, the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y ends immediately before the effect time T4.

  The execution of the second display effect continues until just before the effect time T7 (see FIG. 43). Then, at the effect time T7, the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is started on the display unit 50a. That is, after execution of the symbol change effect, temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 that have changed from the jackpot symbol Y to the jackpot symbol X is started.

  The temporary stop display in the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is continued until immediately before the effect time T9 (see FIG. 43). That is, the symbol change effect is executed until just before the effect time T9. Then, at the effect time T9, stop display at the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is started. At the subsequent effect time T10, the stop display at the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 ends, and the execution of the special figure variation effect ends.

  Next, the vibrating body effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 43, execution of this vibrating body effect is started at effect time T2. The production time T2 is a time after the production time T1, and is a time before the production time T3 (see FIG. 43). Specifically, it corresponds to a time during temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y in the special symbol variation effect (see FIG. 43). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the vibrating body effect is performed during the temporary stop display in the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y.

  The execution of the vibrating body effect continues until the effect time T10 (see FIG. 43). That is, it continues until the end of the special symbol variation effect (and the end of the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X).

  Further, the light emission color of the translucent part 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) in the vibrating body effect is “white” from the effect time T2 to immediately before the effect time T7. The effect time T7 is a time when the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is started. Therefore, the translucent part 226 emits “white” during the period from the start of execution of the vibrator effect until the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the changed jackpot symbol X is made. It has become.

  On the other hand, the period from the production time T7 to the production time T10 is “red”. The effect time T10 is a time when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X ends. Therefore, the light transmitting portion 226 emits “red” during the period from the start of the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X to the end of the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. Is supposed to be done.

  Next, the special movable body effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 43, execution of this special movable body effect is started at effect time T4. The production time T4 corresponds to a time when execution of the second display production of the symbol change production is started. Moreover, it corresponds to the time during execution of the vibrating body effect. That is, the execution of the special movable body effect is started during the execution of the symbol change effect and the execution of the vibrating body effect.

  In addition, as described above, the special movable body effect includes two operations of an initial operation and an final operation using the on-board movable body 55k. The initial operation is performed from the production time T4 to the production time T5. Specifically, the movement of the on-board movable body 55k from the standby position to the operation position is started at the production time T4, and the movement from the operation position to the standby position is completed by the production time T5. Further, the final operation is performed from the production time T6 to the production time T8. Specifically, the movement of the on-board movable body 55k from the standby position to the operation position is started at the production time T6, and the movement from the operation position to the standby position is completed by the production time T8.

  In addition, during the production time T7, which is the time between the production time T6 and the production time T8, the movement of the on-board movable body 55k from the operation position to the standby position in the final operation is started. The effect time T7 is a time when the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is started (see FIG. 43). Therefore, as the on-board movable body 55k rises from the operating position to the standby position in the final operation, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the big hit symbol X are temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. That is, in relation to the final operation, the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is made on the display unit 50a.

  Next, the execution status of various effects (special pattern variation effect including symbol change effect, vibrating body effect, special movable object effect) between effect time T1 and effect time T10 will be described with reference to FIGS. .

  FIG. 44 is an explanatory diagram showing the execution status of the various effects in the period from the effect time T1 to immediately before the effect time T2. During this period, although the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y are temporarily stopped and displayed as the special symbol variation effect, the vibrator effect and the special movable object effect are not executed. Specifically, three sets of the same even number of symbols (“4 · 4 · 4”) are temporarily stopped and displayed as display symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 on display unit 50a (see FIG. 44). On the other hand, the vibration operation of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) is not performed. Moreover, light emission of the translucent part 226 (each LED of the light source part 260) is not made. Further, the second operation of the on-board movable body 55k is not performed. As described above, it is possible to make the player recognize that the jackpot symbol Y is won by the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y on the display unit 50a.

  FIG. 45 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T2 to immediately before the production time T3. During this period, in addition to the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y, the vibrator effect is also executed. Special movable body effects are not performed. Specifically, as in FIG. 44, “4, 4, 4” is temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. In addition, the vibration operation of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) is performed, and the translucent part 226 (each LED of the light source part 260) emits “white” (see FIG. 45).

  As described above, the vibrating body effect of the present embodiment is executed when the symbol change effect is performed. Therefore, it is possible to notify that the symbol change effect will be performed later by executing the vibrating body effect. That is, it is possible to suggest that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 being displayed are changed to effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player who has recognized that the jackpot symbol Y has been won to win the next stage of development.

  FIG. 46 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T3 to immediately before the production time T4. During this period, in addition to the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y and the execution of the vibrator effect, the symbol change effect is also executed. Special movable body effects are not performed. Specifically, as in FIG. 45, “4, 4, 4” is temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a, and the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent unit 226 in “white”. ing. In addition, the first display effect of the symbol change effect is executed on the display unit 50a (see FIG. 46).

  As described above, in the first display effect, the speech image G121 indicating the character string “I will change!” Is used. Therefore, by executing such a first display effect, it is possible to convince the player that the currently displayed effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 will change thereafter. Therefore, the player who has recognized that the jackpot symbol Y is a jackpot can grasp that he has won the more advantageous jackpot symbol X, and can advance the game with excitement.

  FIG. 47 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T4 to immediately before the production time T5. During this period, in addition to the execution of the symbol change effect and the vibrating body effect, a special movable body effect is also executed. Specifically, the second display effect of the symbol change effect is performed on the display unit 50a, and the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent unit 226 in “white”. In addition, an initial operation is performed by the on-board movable body 55k (see FIG. 47).

  In the symbol change effect (second display effect), an image G122 indicating “blackout” is used. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the display unit 50a by executing such a symbol change effect. Moreover, since the execution of the second display effect is started with the start of the initial operation of the on-board movable body 55k, the player can be shown to be an effect in which the special movable body effect and the symbol change effect are related to each other. It is possible. Furthermore, since the vibrating body effect is continued, the “blackout” of the second display effect being executed is not a “problem” of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 in the display unit 50a, but a normal effect. Can be recognized by the player.

  FIG. 48 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T5 to immediately before the production time T6. During this period, the symbol change effect, the vibrator effect, and the special movable object effect are all executed. Specifically, the second display effect of the symbol change effect is performed on the display unit 50a, and the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent unit 226 in “white”. As a special movable body effect, the on-board movable body 55k is temporarily stopped at the standby position (see FIG. 48).

  In the symbol change effect (second display effect), an image G122 indicating “blackout” is used continuously from the effect time T5. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the display unit 50a for a longer period. Further, since the vibrating body effect is continuously performed during this period, it is possible to make the player recognize that the second display effect being executed is a regular effect.

  FIG. 49 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T6 to immediately before the production time T7. During this period, the symbol change effect, the vibrator effect, and the special movable object effect are all executed. Specifically, the second display effect of the symbol change effect is performed on the display unit 50a, and the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent unit 226 in “white”. Then, the final operation by the on-board movable body 55k is started and moved from the standby position to the operation position (see FIG. 49).

  On the display unit 50a, the second display effect using the image G122 indicating “blackout” is continuously performed. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the display unit 50a by executing such a second display effect. Further, since the final operation of the special movable body effect is started during the execution of the second display effect, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the on-board movable body 55k that descends on the front side of the display unit 50a. It has become.

  FIG. 50 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T7 to immediately before the production time T8. During this period, the symbol change effect, the vibrator effect, and the special movable object effect are all executed. Specifically, the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent part 226 in “red”. In addition, on the display unit 50a, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of the same set of three odd numbers ("7, 7, 7") are temporarily displayed. Further, as the final operation by the on-board movable body 55k, the movable position moves (rises) from the operating position to the standby position.

  Since the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 appear from the “blackout” on the display unit 50a, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the display unit 50a. In addition, in the immediately preceding period (the period from the effect time T6 to the time immediately before the effect time T7 shown in FIG. 49), as described above, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the on-board movable body 55k. ing. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 displayed behind the on-board movable body 55k.

  Further, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are changed from “4 · 4 · 4” before blackout to “7 · 7 · 7”. As described above, the same even-numbered effect design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 shows a jackpot with the jackpot symbol Y, while the same odd-numbered design effect EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 has the jackpot The jackpot with the symbol X is shown. Therefore, through the temporary stop display of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 changed to "7, 7, 7", the player can be confident that he has won the more advantageous jackpot symbol X, with great joy It is possible to enjoy subsequent games.

  Further, as described above, of the final action of the special movable body production at the production time T7, the on-board movable body 55k is started to move from the operation position to the standby position. In addition, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “7, 7 and 7” appear on the display unit 50a at the production time T7. Therefore, the start of the movement of the on-board movable body 55k in the special movable body effect is associated with the display start of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “7, 7 and 7” in the symbol change effect.

  Further, in accordance with the appearance of the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “7, 7 and 7” changed from “4, 4 and 4”, the translucent portion 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) in the vibrating body production is displayed. The emission color changes from “white” to “red”. Therefore, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 during the temporary stop display on the display unit 50a are changed by the change in the light emission color of the light transmitting unit 226.

  FIG. 51 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T8 to immediately before the production time T9. During this period, the symbol change effect and the vibrating body effect are performed, but the special movable body effect is not performed. Specifically, the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent part 226 in “red”. In addition, effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 of “7, 7, 7” are temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a.

  On the display unit 50a, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are continuously displayed from the immediately preceding period (the period from the effect time T7 to the effect time T8 shown in FIG. 50), and thus attract the player's attention. It is possible. In particular, since there is no operation of the on-board movable body 55k during the period shown in FIG. 51 (since the on-board movable body 55k is in the standby position), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 on the display unit 50a are easy to see. Therefore, it is easy for the player to notice that the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are “7 · 7 · 7”.

  FIG. 52 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the production time T9 to immediately before the production time T10. In this period, although the vibrating body effect is performed, the symbol change effect and the special movable body effect are not performed. Specifically, the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent part 226 in “red”. On the display unit 50a, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “7, 7 and 7” are stopped and displayed as the special figure variation effect. Further, small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 corresponding to the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, respectively, are also stopped and displayed. Specifically, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 of “7, 7, 7” are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a.

  On the display unit 50a, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are continuously displayed from the immediately preceding period (the period from the effect time T7 to the effect time T8 shown in FIG. 50), and thus attract the player's attention. It is possible. Furthermore, it is possible to make the player notice that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are “7 · 7 · 7”.

8). Effects of First Embodiment As described in detail above, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, it is performed with a special figure variation effect corresponding to the special figure variation pattern “P22”, “P24” or “P26”. In association with the design change effect, a vibrating body effect using the normal button 40 is performed. Specifically, the vibrating body effect is always performed when the symbol change effect is executed. In this way, when both the symbol change effect and the vibrating body effect are performed, the player can enjoy the change of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 while recognizing the vibration of the normal button 40 through perception. It is possible. In other words, it is possible to enjoy a complex production and to improve the interest of the production.

  Further, the execution of the symbol change effect is started at the effect time T3 corresponding to the execution of the vibrator effect. Therefore, the player can enjoy a composite effect involving the vibrating body effect and the symbol change effect from the effect time T3 to the effect time T9.

  Furthermore, it is possible to make the vibrator effect between the effect time T2 and the effect time T3 performed until the execution of the symbol change effect be an effect for suggesting the start of the subsequent symbol change effect. ing.

  In addition, a special movable body effect is performed in association with the symbol change effect and the vibrating body effect. Specifically, at the time of executing the special movable body effect, the symbol change effect and the vibrator effect are always performed. In this way, when the symbol change effect, the vibrating body effect, and the special movable body effect are performed together, the player can make a more diverse effect in which the movable body effect, the vibrating body effect, and the display change effect are entangled with each other. It is possible to enjoy.

  Further, the execution of the symbol change effect is started at the effect time T3 corresponding to the execution of the vibrating body effect, and the execution of the special movable object effect is started at the effect time T4 corresponding to the execution of the vibration object effect and the symbol change effect. Therefore, the player can enjoy various effects involving the vibration body effect, the movable body effect, and the display change effect during the effect time T4 to the effect time T8.

  In addition, a special movable body effect is performed in association with the vibrating body effect that is executed in accordance with the special figure change effect corresponding to the special figure change pattern “P22”, “P24”, or “P26”. Thus, when both the symbol change effect and the vibrating body effect are performed, the player can visually enjoy the operation of the on-board movable body 55k while recognizing the vibration of the normal button 40. . That is, the player can enjoy various effects involving the special movable body effect and the vibrating body effect.

  Further, the initial operation of the special movable body effect is started at the effect time T4 during the execution of the vibrating body effect. Therefore, the special movable body effect and the vibrating body effect can be associated with each other, and the player can surely enjoy various effects.

  Further, according to the initial operation of the movable body effect, a symbol change effect indicating the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of the same odd-numbered symbols on the display unit 50a is performed. Therefore, the player can enjoy a variety of effects in which the symbol change effect is involved in the special movable body effect and the vibrating body effect.

  In addition, by executing the symbol change effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a change from three sets of the same even symbols to three sets of the same odd symbols. The effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of three sets of the same odd number symbols indicate the jackpot gaming state of the jackpot symbol X that is advantageous to the player. Therefore, it is possible to improve the player's interest in the symbol change effect. Furthermore, when the same three even-numbered effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed, the player can easily expect the symbol change effect to be executed.

  In addition, since the normal button 40 continues to vibrate with the display unit 50a having the same odd-numbered design of three symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, the player can feel the vibration of the normal button 40. On the other hand, it is possible to grasp the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 of the same set of three odd numbers.

  Further, the light emission color of the translucent portion 226 of the normal button 40 is different before and after the three odd-numbered effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed on the display portion 50a. Specifically, it is “white” before the display of the same odd number of three symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is displayed, and the same odd number of three symbols of the odd symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed. After being done, it is “red”. In other words, the visually recognizable mode (light emitting mode) of the normal button 40 can be changed in accordance with the display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of the same odd-numbered symbols. Therefore, through the normal button 40, it is possible to suggest to the player that the symbol change effect is being performed with the same three odd number of effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3.

9. Modification Example Next, a modification example of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment will be described. In the description of the modified example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. Of course, you may comprise combining the structure which concerns on a modified example suitably. In addition, the technical features in the first embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted unless they are described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, the vibration body is the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200), but a portion (apparatus) other than the normal button 40 may be used. Specifically, for example, a site (apparatus) that performs only a vibration operation may be used. Further, although the vibrating body is provided in the gaming machine frame 2, it may be provided in the gaming board. The gaming machine frame 2 may be a vibrating body.

  In the first embodiment, the vibration body includes the first vibration mechanism and the second vibration mechanism. However, the vibration body may include the first vibration mechanism or the second vibration mechanism.

  In the first embodiment, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are predetermined displays, but the symbol may be other than the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. Specifically, for example, small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 may be used. Examples of the display change effect in that case include an effect in which the display mode of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 changes or the arrangement changes.

  Further, for example, it may be an image displayed on a display device other than the display unit 50a or the display unit 50a, or an image displayed on a gaming machine frame or gaming board. Examples of the display change effect in that case include an effect in which the display mode of the image changes, the lighting mode of the image changes, or the arrangement of the image changes.

  Further, for example, a display using a light emitting device such as an LED lamp may be used. Examples of the display change effect in that case include an effect in which the display mode of display using such a light-emitting device changes or the arrangement of the display changes.

  In the first embodiment, the symbol change effect (display change effect) is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 (predetermined display) change. However, a symbol change effect (display change effect) in which a predetermined display may change may be used.

  Specifically, for example, FIG. 53 shows a timing chart for executing a symbol change effect when the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 change, and FIG. 56 shows a case where the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 do not change. The timing chart which performs a symbol change effect is shown.

  First, execution of the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change will be described. When such a symbol change effect is executed, similar to the symbol change effect of the first embodiment described above, temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y started from the effect time T1. Is continued until immediately before the production time T4 (see FIG. 53).

  However, the execution of the third display effect of the symbol change effect is started at the effect time T3 (see FIG. 53). The third display effect is a display effect using a character image G120 composed of a head and a serif image G123 indicating a character string “Is it changed?” In a balloon as shown in FIG. This third display effect is performed in a state where the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a set of even symbols of three. That is, it is executed when the temporary stop display is performed on the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y (see FIGS. 53 and 54). As described above, if the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a jackpot, the player tends to think that the jackpot symbol X is preferable to the jackpot symbol Y as the jackpot type. Therefore, the execution of the third display effect can suggest the possibility that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y may change, and may win the jackpot of the more advantageous jackpot symbol X. If it is not possible, it is possible to make the player expect. Thus, it is possible to focus attention on the subsequent special figure fluctuation effect.

  Returning to FIG. 53, at the effect time T4, the execution of the above-described second display effect (see FIG. 42E) of the symbol change effect is started. The execution of the second display effect is continued until just before the effect time T7, as in the first embodiment.

  At the effect time T7, the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is started on the display unit 50a. That is, after execution of the symbol change effect, temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 changed from the jackpot symbol Y to the jackpot symbol X is started (see FIG. 55).

  Furthermore, with the start of the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 changed to the jackpot symbol X, the fourth display effect of the symbol change effect is switched from the second display effect and executed. The fourth display effect is a display effect using a character image G120 composed of a head and a serif image G124 indicating a character string “change” in a balloon as shown in FIG. By executing the fourth display effect, it is possible to suggest (notify) the player that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y have changed to those corresponding to the jackpot symbol X. Therefore, the player can surely grasp that the winning of the more advantageous jackpot symbol X is won.

  After that, as in the first embodiment described above, the temporary stop display on the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X is continued until immediately before the effect time T9, and at the effect time T9, the effect symbol EZ1, Stop display at EZ2 and EZ3 is started (see FIG. 53). Then, at the effect time T10, the stop display at the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 ends, and the execution of the special figure variation effect ends.

  When the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change is performed, the same vibration body effect and special movable body effect as in the first embodiment are executed. Specifically, the vibrating body effect is performed during the effect time T2 during the temporary stop display in the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y (see FIG. 53). And it continues until production time T10 (refer FIG. 53). In addition, the light emission color of the translucent unit 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) in the vibrating body effect is “white” from the effect time T2 to immediately before the effect time T7, and from the effect time T7 to the effect time T10. The time between is “red”.

  Further, the special movable body effect starts its initial operation at the production time T4 (see FIG. 53). The final operation is performed from the production time T6 to the production time T8. It should be noted that, during the production time T7 during the final operation, the movement of the on-board movable body 55k from the operation position to the standby position in the final operation is started.

  FIG. 54 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the effect time T3 to the time immediately before the effect time T4 when the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change is executed. During this period, temporary stop display of the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y, the vibrating body effect, and the symbol change effect are performed. Specifically, “4, 4, 4” is temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a, and the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent unit 226 in “white”. Further, the third display effect is performed on the display unit 50a.

  As described above, since the dialogue image G123 indicating the character string “Is it changed?” Is used in the third display effect, the execution of the third display effect causes the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 being displayed. It is possible to suggest to players that this may change after this. It is possible to give a player who has recognized that he / she has won a jackpot with the jackpot symbol Y to have a sense of expectation that he / she may have won a more advantageous jackpot symbol X.

  FIG. 55 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the effect time T7 to immediately before the effect time T8 when the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change is executed. During this period, the symbol change effect, the vibrator effect, and the special movable object effect are all performed. Specifically, on the display unit 50a, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of the same set of three odd numbers (“7, 7, 7”) are temporarily stopped and the fourth display effect described above. Is running. Further, the normal button 40 vibrates with the light emission of the translucent portion 226 in “red”. Further, as the final operation by the on-board movable body 55k, the movable position moves (rises) from the operating position to the standby position.

  Since the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 appear from the “blackout” on the display unit 50a, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the display unit 50a. Moreover, since it is possible to attract the player's attention to the on-board movable body 55k during the period from the production time T6 to the time immediately before the production time T7 as in the first embodiment, The player's attention to the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 displayed behind the on-board movable body 55k can also be gathered.

  Further, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are changed from “4 · 4 · 4” before blackout to “7 · 7 · 7”. Therefore, the player who thought that he won the jackpot with the jackpot symbol Y can be convinced that he won the jackpot with the more advantageous jackpot symbol X, and with the great pleasure, It is possible to enjoy.

  Further, in accordance with the appearance of the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “7, 7 and 7” changed from “4, 4 and 4”, the translucent portion 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) in the vibrating body production is displayed. The emission color changes from “white” to “red”. Therefore, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 during the temporary stop display on the display unit 50a are changed by the change in the light emission color of the light transmitting unit 226.

  Next, execution of the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 do not change will be described. Even when such a symbol change effect is executed, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y started from the effect time T1 as in the case of the symbol change effect of the first embodiment described above. The temporary stop display is continued until just before the production time T4 (see FIG. 56).

  In addition, at the effect time T3, execution of the above-described third display effect of the symbol change effect is started (see FIG. 56). Then, at the effect time T4, the execution of the second display effect (see FIG. 42E) of the symbol change effect described above is started.

  At the effect time T7, the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y is started again on the display unit 50a as before the execution of the second display effect. That is, the temporary stop display of the same effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is started before and after execution of the symbol change effect (see FIG. 57).

  In addition, after the execution of the second display effect, the fifth display effect of the symbol change effect is switched from the second display effect with the start of temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y. The The fifth display effect is a display effect using a character image G120 composed of a head as shown in FIG. 57 and a serif image G125 indicating a character string “no change” in a balloon. By executing this fifth display effect, it is possible to suggest (notify) the player that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y have not changed.

  Thereafter, the temporary stop display at the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y is continued until immediately before the effect time T9, and at the effect time T9, the stop display at the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started. (See FIG. 56). Then, at the effect time T10, the stop display at the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 ends, and the execution of the special figure variation effect ends.

  Even when a design change effect in which the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 do not change is performed, the vibrating body effect and the special movable body effect are performed, respectively. However, the special movable body effect is executed in the same manner as in the case where the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are changed, whereas the vibration object effect is the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. It is executed in an effect mode different from the case where the symbol change effect is changed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 56, execution of the vibrating body effect is started at the effect time T2. The execution of the vibrator effect is continued until immediately before the effect time T7, unlike the case where the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change is performed (see FIG. 56). That is, it continues until the second display effect ends. In other words, the execution of the vibrator effect ends immediately before the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y is started again.

  Further, the translucent unit 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) emits “white” during the period from the production time T2 to immediately before the production time T7. The light unit 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) does not emit light. That is, as the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol Y is started again, the translucent portion 226 (each LED of the light source portion 260) is turned off.

  On the other hand, the period from the production time T7 to the production time T10 is “red”. The effect time T10 is a time when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X ends. Therefore, the light transmitting portion 226 emits “red” during the period from the start of the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 corresponding to the jackpot symbol X to the end of the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. Is done.

  FIG. 57 is an explanatory diagram of a period from the effect time T7 to immediately before the effect time T8 when the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are not changed is executed. During this period, both the symbol change effect and the special movable body effect are executed, but the vibrating body effect is not performed. Specifically, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of the same set of even symbols (“4 · 4 · 4”) as before the second display effect are temporarily stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. The fifth display effect described above is executed. Further, as the final operation by the on-board movable body 55k, it moves (rises) from the operation position to the standby position. However, the vibration operation of the normal button 40 is not performed. Further, the light transmitting unit 226 (each LED of the light source unit 260) does not emit light.

  As in the case where the symbol change effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change is executed, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 appear from “blackout” on the display unit 50a. It is possible to attract attention.

  In addition, the vibrating body effect is not performed with the appearance of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “4, 4 and 4” that have not changed before and after “blackout”. That is, the vibration operation of the normal button 40 ends and the translucent part 226 (each LED of the light source part 260) is turned off. Thereby, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 being temporarily stopped are displayed on the display unit 50a.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, execution of the symbol change effect (display change effect) was started during execution of a vibrating body effect, and execution of a display change effect was complete | finished during execution of a vibration body effect. However, for example, a configuration in which execution of the display change effect is started during execution of the vibrator effect is also possible. Further, for example, a configuration in which the execution of the display change effect is ended during the execution of the vibrator effect is also possible. Alternatively, a configuration in which the execution of the vibrating body effect and the execution of the display change effect are both started may be employed. Furthermore, for example, a configuration in which the execution of the vibrating body effect and the execution of the display change effect are both ended may be employed. Alternatively, for example, the configuration may be such that the execution of the display change effect starts when the execution of the vibrating body effect ends. On the contrary, the configuration may be such that the execution of the vibrating body effect starts when the execution of the display change effect ends. That is, a configuration in which the vibrating body effect and the display change effect are performed in series may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the execution of the special movable body effect (movable body effect) is started during the execution of the symbol change effect (display change effect), and the execution of the movable body effect is performed during the execution of the display change effect. It was set as the structure which complete | finishes. However, for example, a configuration in which execution of the movable body effect only starts during execution of the display change effect may be employed. Further, for example, a configuration in which the execution of the movable body effect only ends during the execution of the display change effect may be employed. Alternatively, a configuration in which both the execution of the display change effect and the execution of the movable body effect may be started. Furthermore, for example, the configuration in which the execution of the display change effect and the execution of the movable body effect are both completed may be employed. Alternatively, for example, the configuration may be such that the execution of the movable body effect starts while the execution of the display change effect ends. Conversely, a configuration in which the execution of the display effect is started when the execution of the movable body effect ends. That is, a configuration in which the display change effect and the movable body effect are performed in series may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the execution of the special movable body effect (movable body effect) is started during the execution of the vibrating body effect, and the execution of the movable body effect is ended during the execution of the vibration body effect. . However, for example, a configuration in which execution of the movable body effect only starts during execution of the vibrating body effect may be employed. Alternatively, the configuration may be such that the execution of the movable body effect is ended during the execution of the vibrating body effect. Further, for example, a configuration in which both execution of the vibrating body effect and execution of the movable body effect may be started. Further, for example, a configuration in which the execution of the vibrating body effect and the execution of the movable body effect are both ended may be employed. Alternatively, for example, the configuration may be such that the execution of the movable body effect starts when the execution of the vibrating body effect ends. Conversely, a configuration may be adopted in which execution of the movable body effect ends and execution of the vibrating body effect starts. That is, a configuration in which the vibrating body effect and the movable body effect are performed in series may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the movable body is the on-board movable body 55k, but an apparatus other than the on-board movable body 55k may be used. Specifically, for example, the lower panel movable body 56k may be used. Further, for example, a movable body provided in addition to the on-board movable body 55k and the on-board movable body 56k may be used.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the 2nd operation | movement of the board movable body 55k was made into the specific operation | movement aspect. However, an operation mode other than the second operation may be used. Specifically, for example, the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k may be used. Further, although the second operation is the two vertical movement operations, it may be three or more vertical movement operations. Further, for example, an operation other than the up and down motion, such as a rotation motion, may be used.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “4 · 4 · 4” shown in FIG. 41 (B) are set to a predetermined mode (first mode), and FIG. The effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 of “7, 7, and 7” shown in F) are set as the mode (second mode) that suggests an advantageous gaming state. However, it is good also considering the effect design of a set of the same even number 3 other than "4" as a "1st aspect." Further, a set of effect symbols other than “7” in the same odd number may be set as the “second mode”.

  In addition, a combination of effect symbols indicating a loss may be a “first aspect”, and a combination of effect symbols indicating a jackpot may be a “second aspect” indicating an advantageous gaming state. In this case, the advantageous gaming state is a jackpot gaming state. Furthermore, the combination of effect symbols indicating a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game corresponding to a jackpot game having a relatively small number of rounds is referred to as a “first mode”, and the effect symbol indicating a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game having a relatively large number of rounds is displayed. The combination may be a “second aspect”. The advantageous gaming state in this case is a jackpot gaming state with a large number of rounds. In addition, a combination of effects that show a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game that shifts to a non-time-saving state after execution is referred to as a “first mode”, and an effect symbol that shows a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game that shifts to a time-short state after execution It is good also considering this combination as a "second aspect". The advantageous gaming state in this case is a jackpot gaming state that shifts to a shorter time state after execution. Furthermore, after execution, the combination of performance symbols showing the jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot game that shifts to the time-saving state with a relatively small number of time-savings is referred to as “first mode”, and the time-saving time-sequentially after execution A combination of effect symbols indicating a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game that shifts to a state may be set as the “second mode”. The advantageous gaming state in this case is a jackpot gaming state in which, after execution, the state shifts to a time-saving state with a relatively large number of time savings. In addition, a combination of effects that show a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game that shifts to a normal probability state after execution is referred to as a “first aspect”, and an effect that shows a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jackpot game that shifts to a high probability state after execution The combination of symbols may be the “second mode”. The advantageous gaming state in this case is a jackpot gaming state that shifts to a high probability state after execution.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the display part 50a which consists of a liquid crystal display. However, the display unit may be a dot display unit or a 7-segment display unit.

  Further, in a gaming machine provided with a display unit other than the display unit 50a, the display change effect may be executed using a display unit other than the display unit 50a. As a display part in such a case, what is comprised by the liquid crystal display, the dot display, or the 7-segment display, for example is mentioned.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the combination of the production | presentation design of the three sets of the same odd symbol after a change was made into the specific display. However, a display without a change may be a specific display. That is, a display that suddenly appears on the display unit may be a specific display.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the translucent part 226 was set as the alerting | reporting part, light-emitting devices, such as LED and a lamp, may be sufficient. Furthermore, it is good also considering the display apparatus comprised by the liquid crystal display, the dot display, or the 7-segment display as an alerting | reporting part. Also, a sound output device such as a speaker may be used as the notification unit.

  The light emission color of the light transmitted through the light transmitting part 226 is the content (notification content). However, the lighting content such as lighting / flashing and the number of lighting may be used as the notification content. When the notification unit is a display device configured with a liquid crystal display, a dot display, or a 7-segment display, a predetermined image may be used as the notification content. When the notification unit is a sound output device such as a speaker, predetermined sound (sound) may be used as the notification content.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which can perform a symbol change effect (display change effect) by the special figure fluctuation effect of special figure 1. FIG. However, the structure which can perform a display change effect by the special figure fluctuation effect of special figure 2 may be sufficient. Specifically, the display change effect can be executed only by the special map variation effect of FIG. 1 or the special map change effect of FIG. It may be configured.

  In the first embodiment, the symbol change effect (display change effect) can be executed in a non-time-saving state. However, the structure which can perform a display change effect in a time-short state may be sufficient. Specifically, a configuration in which the display change effect can be executed in the non-time-short state or the time-short state, or a configuration in which the display change effect can be executed only in the time-short state may be employed.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which includes a symbol change effect (display change effect) in each reach (N reach, L reach, SP reach). However, the structure which can perform a symbol change effect after completion | finish of each reach may be sufficient. Or the structure which can perform a symbol change effect before execution of each reach may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which includes a symbol change effect (display change effect) in a special figure fluctuation effect. However, the display change effect may not be included in the special figure change effect. That is, the display change effect may be an effect that can be executed in conjunction with the special figure change effect. Further, the display change effect may be an effect that can be executed during a jackpot game or a customer waiting effect.

  In the first embodiment, the second display effect of the symbol change effect (display change effect) is an effect using the image G122 indicating “blackout”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, an effect in which the sizes of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are changed (or increased) may be used. Also, for example, an effect of scrolling the three-stage production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 (so-called “full rotation” display) may be used.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which execution of the 2nd display effect of a symbol change effect is complete | finished during execution of the terminal movement of a special movable body effect. However, the configuration may be such that the execution of the second display effect ends with the start of the final operation. In addition, the execution of the second display effect starts with the start of the initial operation. However, a configuration in which the execution of the second display effect starts during the execution of the initial operation may be employed.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which performs the 1st display effect of a symbol change effect. However, the structure which does not perform the 1st display effect may be sufficient. Specifically, for example, the design change effect may be performed in a manner in which the change of “4, 4, 4” displayed as a temporary stop is started without any suggestion.

  In the first embodiment, the so-called “first type” and “digital pachi” pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown as a gaming machine. However, the so-called “type 3” and “right property” pachinko machines, and the characteristics of the “type 1” pachinko game machine and the characteristics of the “type 2” pachinko game machine are so-called. It is good also as a pachinko game machine called "1 type 2 type mixing". Further, it may be a pachinko gaming machine called a “ST machine” in which the winning probability is controlled to a high probability state during the ST (special time) period.
